'If Anything Happens...': Indore Man Fits CCTV On His Helmet As Protection
The man, who was seen with a CCTV camera on his helmet, alleged that he and his family were being threatened with death by their neighbours over a property dispute.
In a bizarre spectacle, a man in Indore's Gauri Nagar was seen roaming the streets with a helmet fitted with a huge camera, to reportedly protect himself from repeated threats following a property dispute.
The man seen with a CCTV camera on his head alleged that he and his family were repeatedly being harassed and threatened with death by their neighbours over a property dispute. He said his family is being assaulted repeatedly by these people.
Despite filing several police complaints, the police have taken no action against the accused, who want to seize their property. 'We've pleaded for protection. When nothing happened, I decided to record everything, everywhere I go," he said on camera.
'They want to seize our house. I appeal to everybody to help send these people to court for required action," he said. 'Even the police do not help, and instead they threaten and attack us when we approach them."
The man said the helmet camera is his 'shield", saying the desperate step was needed to record the activities of his neighbours. 'If anything happens to me or my family, at least there will be video evidence," he said.
Viral videos show him walking through his neighbourhood, wearing black headgear with a small mounted camera, sparking outrage online.
Police officials have confirmed that the dispute between the families is still ongoing and has already led to physical confrontations, according to NDTV. 'We have tried to mediate between the parties. The case is being reviewed, and any new facts will be taken into account," said a senior officer.

Pakistan's New Punjab Blueprint: Golden Temple At The Heart Of ISI's Hybrid War Plan
Intelligence inputs accessed on July 14, 2025, reveal a renewed push to use the sacred site as both a shield and a trigger. A sinister new blueprint by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), accessed by CNN-News18, aims to destabilise Punjab using a hybrid warfare model that mixes terrorism, psychological operations, digital propaganda, and religious manipulation. Intelligence agencies have confirmed that ISI is reviving tactics reminiscent of the 1980s insurgency period — this time with advanced tools and global collaboration — to trigger unrest centered around the Golden Temple. Golden Temple: Symbol, Shield, and Target The core of the new operational blueprint is the tactical and symbolic exploitation of the Golden Temple. Intelligence inputs accessed on July 14, 2025, reveal a renewed push to use the sacred site as both a shield and a trigger. The recent bomb threat email received by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), referencing RDX, points to coordinated efforts by ISI-backed groups to provoke mass outrage through calculated targeting of religious sensitivities. Officials warn that any miscalculated action near the shrine could lead to a nationwide standoff, comparable to the events of 1984. The Golden Temple's sanctity makes it difficult to fully police, thereby creating security blind spots that ISI intends to exploit for arms dumps, propaganda filming, and sheltering operatives. The convergence of religious emotion, political symbolism, and lack of surveillance provides ISI with a potent recipe for unrest. Tech, Terror, and Trauma: Tools of Psychological Warfare Social media platforms, encrypted messaging apps such as Threema and Element, and diaspora-driven campaigns are being weaponised to incite separatist sentiment. Unofficial Khalistan referendums have been inflated with false participation claims — 127,000 in San Francisco, 55,000 in Calgary, and 37,000 in New Zealand — used not only for propaganda but also as fundraising tools through NGO fronts. Gangster-Terror Nexus and Cross-Border Logistics Pakistan's strategy leans heavily on the deepening nexus between gangsters and Khalistani terror outfits. Operatives like Goldy Brar have claimed responsibility for killings in Russia and California, showcasing a chilling international reach. The assassination attempt on Shiromani Akali Dal's Sukhbir Badal near the Golden Temple by Chaura, a Pakistan-trained Babbar Khalsa terrorist, is another example of targeted violence backed by decades-old terror linkages. Drone incursions continue to be a critical conduit for cross-border smuggling. In 2024 alone, Punjab recorded 286 such instances involving AK rifles, heroin, IEDs, and even satellite phones. Border districts like Tarn Taran and Ferozepur have emerged as key nodes for these operations. Digital Insurgency and Diaspora Involvement Key figures like Gurpatwant Singh Pannun have escalated their rhetoric, threatening events such as Pravasi Bharatiya Divas and invoking terror tactics similar to Hamas. From prison, Amritpal Singh has announced the launch of a political party, pledging to declare Khalistan within a year if elected — further blurring the lines between secessionist ideology and democratic posturing. The use of psychological tactics is relentless. The 19 fake threats to Air India in three days during 2024, later traced to SFJ's digital disruption campaigns, underscore the new era of 'keyboard insurgency." Posters glorifying Bhindranwale, calls for embassy attacks, and AI-generated narratives about injustice against Sikhs continue to flood diaspora and domestic spaces. Crackdown and Countermeasures Indian agencies have responded with intensified crackdowns. In 2024, 66 terrorists were arrested, 12 active modules were neutralised, and 1,099 kg of heroin was seized. The NIA blocked over 7,500 radical URLs, seized Rs 73 crore from terror-linked scams, and invoked the UAPA to target SFJ operatives' digital and financial assets. Courts have denied bail in key cases, signalling a firm judicial stance. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Biker Slaps And Kicks Car Driver, Then Barely Escapes Being Run Over
The matter escalated when the Brezza car driver slightly reversed his car and then moved forward to hit the biker. A video showing a violent fight between a motorcyclist and a car driver has gained widespread attention on social media. The clip, shared on X, captures a shocking moment of road rage that reportedly took place in Haryana. It unfolded in a narrow lane and has left social media users stunned. The clip shows a man about to ride away on his bike when a white Brezza car drives up and stops right next to him. The footage doesn't have audio but it shows the biker speaking to the person inside the car. What happens next quickly escalates. The Brezza then reverses slightly then suddenly moves forward to hit the biker. The impact tilts the bike and the biker struggles to get it upright. He soon steps off the bike and walks towards the car. The driver opens the door and steps out as well. At first, it seemed to be a heated argument. But things take an ugly turn as the biker pushes the car driver. Then he starts hitting him. He slaps him multiple times, throws punches, grabs him by the collar and pushes him hard enough to make him fall to the ground. Even while the car driver is on the ground, the biker does not stop. He continues to attack him. He kicks him and is visibly shouting, though no voice can be heard, his aggressive gestures make it clear. Onlookers are seen watching the entire scene unfold but no one steps in to stop it. After a while, the car driver manages to stand up and gets back into his vehicle. But instead of leaving, he drives forward again and this time, he aims at the biker. The biker manages to narrowly dodge the moving car. But his two-wheeler, still lying on the road, gets repeatedly hit by the Brezza as the driver smashes into it again and again before the clip cuts off. The video was shared with the caption, 'Road-Rage Kalesh b/w Brezza Car Driver and Bike guy over Car hits the bike, Haryana." The footage gained significant attention online and triggered a wide range of reactions in the comment section. One user remarked, 'What a turn of an event! Kalesh of the month." Another added, 'I didn't expect the climax," while someone pointed out, 'Road rage in India is very common. Everybody has fragile egos." 'If that Brezza guy can't fight, why the hell did he start one?" a person said. An individual remarked, 'A very normal day on Indian roads! 'Don't understand what kind of hurry these people are in, the car could've stopped for a min for the bike to move & it'd not have changed anything but the driver decided to show that he's mighty & right just to stroke his ego and got his a beaten in one-on-one combat," read another comment. Earlier, a similar case of road rage had surfaced from Bengaluru where a Swiggy delivery executive was attacked by three unidentified men at a traffic signal near Modi Hospital Junction late at night. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
