Tennessee tragedy: Infant abandoned in front yard; four bodies found at nearby home, probe under way
According to a statement from the Dyer County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called out just after 3:00 pm on July 29 following reports of an infant left alone outdoors. The child was spotted in a car seat in the front yard of a residence near Tigrett, a community in western Tennessee near the Arkansas border.
The homeowner, who is not the child's parent, contacted law enforcement after seeing the baby, local station WMC-TV reported.
In a Facebook update, the Dyer County Sheriff's Office said, 'a dark-colored minivan or a white mid-size SUV was reported to have dropped off' the infant.
Later the same day, the Dyer County Sheriff's Office revealed they were also working with the Lake County Sheriff's Office to investigate a crime scene in Lake County, where four people were found dead.
The identities of the infant and the four deceased individuals have not yet been released.
However, officials say the two cases may be connected, USA Today reported.
'This is a deeply saddening day for our community. We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served,' Sheriff Jeff Box said in a statement.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI are now involved in the ongoing investigation.

Nigerian cyber kingpin busted in Delhi, Uttarakhand STF exposes multi-crore 'parcel scam'
DEHRADUN: In a significant breakthrough against organised cybercrime, the Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) has on Thursday arrested a Nigerian national in Delhi, dismantling an international syndicate involved in a multi-crore parcel fraud. The accused, Colinus Ugochukwu Nwaemuka, was apprehended following a swift operation by the STF Cyber Crime Police team. The arrest stems from a complaint by a Dehradun resident defrauded of nearly Rs 29 lakh. The accused befriended a woman on Facebook claiming to be a senior manager at an Amsterdam pharmaceutical company. Gaining trust, the fraudster orchestrated a fake parcel delivery via 'Flota Logistics', demanding online payments for custom scanning, gold license, currency conversion, GST, insurance, and clearance. The victim initially transferred Rs 24,88,400 in multiple instalments. Subsequently, the cyber culprits escalated deception, posing as 'National Cyber Security' officials and fake police. They extorted an additional Rs 4,10,250 under guise of settling a fabricated case and processing files. The syndicate used fake mobile numbers, bank accounts, and misused government designations to pressure the victim, totalling Rs 28,98,650 in fraud. Recognising the case's gravity, Senior Superintendent of Police, STF, Navneet Bhullar initiated a high-level investigation. The probe was supervised by Additional Superintendent of Police Swapn Kishore and Deputy Superintendent of Police Ankush Mishra, and led by Inspector Ashish Gusai, a Cyber Commando. The Cyber Crime Police obtained crucial data from banks, telecom providers, domain hosting companies, and Meta, analysing digital footprints including mobile numbers, bank accounts, and chats. SSP Navneet Bhullar stated, "This arrest marks a crucial step in dismantling a sophisticated international cybercrime network. Our team meticulously followed digital footprints, clearly showing how these criminals exploited social media extensively to ensnare victims. They cunningly posed as international contacts and fake government officials to extract substantial sums, demonstrating a highly organised modus operandi. We are committed to ensuring justice for victims and prosecuting these offenders fully." According to the STF officials, this case represents the first major success by Uttarakhand's dedicated cyber commando team. Plans are underway to provide advanced training to 70 more cyber commandos in Uttarakhand, aiming for more effective control over state cybercrimes.

Lawrence Bishnoi's Aide Behind Badshah's Club Blast Detained In US
New Delhi: Randeep Singh, a gangster associated with Lawrence Bishnoi, has been detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Singh, who also goes by the name Randeep Malik, has been involved in orchestrating several killings and blasts at the instructions of Lawrence Bishnoi, including Delhi gym owner murder and a blast outside Badshah's club in Chandigarh. He has been put under detention at the Jackson Parish Correctional Center. Randeep Singh And Delhi Gym Owner Murder Singh was wanted in the murder of Delhi gym owner Nadir Shah. Last year, on September 12, gym owner Nadir Shah was shot on a busy road in Greater Kailash-1. According to the police, Shah, who is of Afghan origin, had come in the crosshairs of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang because he had asked his business partner not to pay Rs 5 crore that the outfit had tried to extort from him. Despite being based in the US, Singh allegedly provided weapons used in Nadir Shah's murder. Link Between Badshah's Club Blast And Randeep Singh On November 26, two explosions occurred outside two clubs in Chandigarh - the Seville Bar and Lounge, owned by singer and rapper Badshah, and De Orra Club, owned by local businessmen. CCTV footage of the explosions showed a man throwing crude bombs at the clubs before running away. The explosions shattered the establishments' glass windows. Hours after the incident, Goldy Brar, linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the blast in a purported Facebook post. Singh was allegedly involved in the firing at the instructions of Goldy Brar. Similarly, on December 10, crude bombs were thrown outside two clubs located in Sector 29, Gurugram - Warehouse Club and Human Club. Months later, in June, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheeted five accused, including Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Goldy Brar and Singh. Barring Brar and Malik, all others were arrested in the case. Now, Singh, who is said to have executed the bomb blast on the orders of Goldy Brar, is under detention, but in the US. Who Is Randeep Singh Randeep Singh, the only son of his parents, is a resident of Jind in Haryana. He has been in America for the last 10 years, where he runs a transport business under the name of Mahakal Transport. Singh reportedly drives a truck himself. It is during his stay in the US that he was introduced to the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang.
