Television actress Vahbiz Dorabjee has revealed that she was planning to go to Kashmir just before the shocking terror attack there. On Wednesday, the actress took to her Instagram stories and expressed anger over the terror attack.
'Was Planning a Trip to Kashmir Yesterday..So Shaken..When will this stop..Pahalgam," Vahbiz wrote.
For the unversed, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon. The incident killed around 27 people. Eyewitnesses told security forces that two to three men rushed in dressed in military fatigues, firing indiscriminately at tourists while they were enjoying the Baisaran Meadows of Pahalgam on horseback. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, took responsibility for the attack.
Security forces were rushed to the area, and a massive anti-terrorist operation was launched to hunt down the assailants. Videos of the aftermath of the attack showed people lying motionless and bloodied on the ground while women were frantically looking for their loved ones.
Besides Vahbiz, several other television actors also reacted to the inhumane terror attack. Aly Goni, who also hails from Kashmir, took to his Instagram stories and expressed anger and sadness. 'I'm Heartbroken and enraged by the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam today. This senseless violence against innocent lives contradicts the peace Islam teaches. My prayers are with the victims and their families. We must unite against such evil," he wrote.
Nakuul Mehta also posted on X, 'Numb from the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam 💔" Among others, Hina Khan, Dipika Chikhila and Rashami Desai also condemned the attacks.
Aditi Malik also penned down a long note that read, 'Why again? Because hatred still lingers. Because some people are still committed to tearing down instead of building up. And it's extremely painful it really hurts when we are caught in the middle of that hatred. How do we sleep tonight? Maybe we do May be we don't. Maybe we just sit with this pain, talk about it, mourn the loss, and promise not to let ourselves grow numb to it. But tomorrow? Tomorrow we keep going. We don't let fear win. We support each other, we speak out, and we demand better from leaders, from systems, from each other."

RJ Mahvash Blushes As Paps Tease Her About Yuzvendra Chahal: 'Bhai Kaise Hain?'

Rumours linking RJ Mahvash to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal have been swirling for months, and their recent public interactions continue to fuel speculation. Though neither of them has officially confirmed the relationship, frequent appearances together and affectionate gestures on social media have kept fans guessing. In the latest development, RJ Mahvash was caught on camera by paparazzi while stepping into a lift. As soon as they spotted her, the paps cheekily asked, 'Bhai kaise hain?" – a clear nod to Chahal. Caught off guard, Mahvash couldn't help but blush and flash a shy smile, which instantly went viral online. Her adorable reaction has further amplified buzz around her connection with the Indian spinner. Mahvash, who is also a popular influencer, added to the lighthearted mood of the day by posting an Instagram story on June 13.

Lucrative job offers on WA, FB lead youth to cyber crime
Lucknow: A day after Lucknow police busted a sophisticated multi-layered cyber fraud call centre operating from the Vrindavan Yojna area, which swindled crores of rupees from unsuspecting victims across India, as many as 15 individuals, mostly from Bihar and Jharkhand, were arrested. They were allegedly lured into the racket under the pretext of lucrative job offers, only to be made pawns in a widespread scam. The accused were recruited through attractive job advertisements posted on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, promising salaries ranging between Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 per month. "These were not random hires. The gang conducted a series of staged telephonic interviews and online aptitude tests to lend an air of authenticity to the process. The candidates were told they were selected for jobs in customer service, e-commerce support, and online gaming platforms," police said. ADCP, crime, Vasanth Kumar said that once recruited, the individuals were brought to Lucknow and housed in a rented apartment in Vrindavan Yojna which doubled as their residence and a full-fledged cyber fraud call centre. For most, it was their first time in a big city. As part of the onboarding process, they were subjected to systematic training for a week, where they were taught how to operate fake websites and mobile apps, methods to spoof caller identities, use of pre-written scripts to manipulate and convince victims, and techniques for digital payment fraud, including UPI and wallet redirections, said Kumar. "They were given training manuals, mock call practice sessions and target-based performance goals—similar to corporate setups," said a senior officer involved in the probe. However, once inside, the recruits were cut off from the outside world. "We were told not to step out of the apartment or talk to outsiders. Food, clothes and basic amenities were delivered to the flat. We were warned never to discuss our work—even with each other beyond a point," one of the arrested accused confessed during questioning. The police said the racket duped around 1,000 people across India by offering fake online services and betting schemes. Victims were made to believe they were speaking to customer service agents from reputed companies or betting platforms and money was extracted in the name of registration, fees, and refunds. mastermind Vishal Yadav was found to be a habitual cyber criminal, shifting his base frequently to avoid detection. Police believe he operated remotely using VPNs, encrypted messaging apps and burner email addresses to stay off the radar. His last known location was tracked to Sri Lanka. All 15 accused have been remanded to seven-day police custody, during which they will be interrogated individually to identify further links in the network, including recruiters, trainers, handlers and financial operatives. Their mobile phones, laptops and hard drives have been seized and are being sent for forensic analysis, said ADCP Kumar. "The evidence so far suggests a pan-India scam with international linkages. More arrests are expected in the coming days. We are also working with cybercrime cells in other states to identify similar patterns," Kumar added.
