Sunil Yadav, accused in Viveka murder, joins Pulivendula ZPTC bypoll fray
T irupati: Yadati Sunil Yadav, one of the key accused in the murder of former MP Y S Vivekananda Reddy, is contesting the Pulivendula ZPTC by-election as an independent candidate. Yadav was released on bail by Telangana high court in Oct last year, after spending nearly three years in jail. He has been named as one of the key accused by the CBI in the sensational crime, which rocked Andhra Pradesh just before the 2019 general elections. After coming out on bail, Yadav, who continues to deny his involvement in the murder and had also expressed his intentions to enter politics, has now filed his nomination to contest the Aug 12 ZPTC bypoll. Yadav, who is pinning his hopes on the anti-YS family sentiment in Pulivendula, has been targeting Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy, who too is a key accused in the murder case as per the CBI chargesheet. In June, Yadav filed a assault complaint against Avinash Reddy's followers. "The Kadapa MP is now complaining about TDP misusing police forces and the election commission to its advantage. Wasn't it the YSRCP which brought in such a culture in the state? Now TDP is dimly giving the YSRCP a taste of its own medicine. There are many families like mine who were left shattered because of YSRCP. I am pinning hopes on their support to win the Pulivendula ZPTC election," Yadav said.

Thailand again accuses Cambodia of planting land mines as 3 soldiers are hurt by blast along border
Three Thai soldiers on patrol were wounded Saturday (August 9, 2025) when one stepped on a land mine in territory along the border with Cambodia, Thailand's army announced. The incident came just two days after the two countries reaffirmed their adherence to a ceasefire to end a brief armed conflict. The Army's statement said the incident took place in Thailand's Sisaket province and 'clearly demonstrates to both domestic and international society that the use of concealed weapons in border areas continues to exist, constituting a clear violation of the Ottawa Convention by the Cambodian side.' The Ottawa Convention, also called the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty, is an international agreement banning the weapons' use, and both Thailand and Cambodia have committed to it. A statement from Thailand's Foreign Ministry said the incident confirmed the Thai Army's findings 'that new land mines are being laid in blatant violation of international law.' It also noted this was the third such incident in less than a month. Five days of armed conflict broke out last month, killing dozens of people on both sides, including civilians, and displacing more than 260,000. The fighting broke out a day after five Thai soldiers were wounded when one tripped an antipersonnel mine in disputed territory. A ceasefire that took effect on July 29 ended major fighting, though tension remained high. The two countries on Thursday at a meeting in Malaysia committed to a 13-point agreement on implementing their truce. The Thai Army statement, citing its spokesperson Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvaree, charged that Saturday's mine explosion constituted 'a significant obstacle to the implementation of ceasefire measures and peaceful resolution of problems.' A statement issued in response by the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority denied Thailand's allegation that Cambodia had laid new mines. 'We have not, and will not, plant new land mines,' said the statement, noting that Cambodia is a party to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty Convention, 'and has an internationally recognised record of removing, not deploying, these indiscriminate weapons." It noted that Cambodia has cleared more than 1 million mines and nearly 3 million other pieces of unexploded ordnance left over from more than three decades of war and civil unrest that began in 1970. Cambodia had suggested that two earlier explosions last month wounding Thai soldiers might be land mines from past conflicts. Tensions had simmered since May this year when a Cambodian soldier was shot dead by Thai troops in a brief fracas in another contested border area. The escalating dispute was marked by border crossing restrictions and cross-border boycotts and bans of goods and services before fighting broke out. In Saturday's incident, a Thai sergeant major suffered severe injuries, including losing his left foot, said the Thai army statement, while two privates suffered lesser injuries.

UK police arrest 150 pro-Palestinian protesters amid rising Gaza death toll from malnutrition
Police in London have arrested around 150 people after protesters defied a new law banning public support for the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, according to the Associated Press (AP). The Metropolitan Police said officers moved in after seeing placards expressing support for the group, which Parliament designated a terrorist organisation in July. 'Officers have moved in and are making arrests,' police posted on X. Arrest update: We've now arrested 150 people in Parliament Square. While many of those remaining in the Square are media and onlookers, there are still people holding placards supporting Palestine Action. Officers are steadily working through the crowd making further arrests. — Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) August 9, 2025 Supporters of Palestine Action had gathered in Parliament Square on Saturday, saying the ban limits freedom of expression. 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action,' read some of the signs. The group Defend Our Juries said on its website: 'Once the meaning of 'terrorism' is separated from campaigns of violence against a civilian population, and extended to include those causing economic damage or embarrassment… then the right to freedom of expression has no meaning.' The UK government banned Palestine Action after activists entered RAF Brize Norton in June, damaging two tanker aircraft with red paint and crowbars. The group has previously targeted sites linked to Israel's military. Meanwhile in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry said 11 more people have died from malnutrition, bringing the total to 212, including 98 children, BBC reported. The ministry also said at least 38 people were killed and 491 injured in Israeli military action in the past 24 hours. The UN says aid entering Gaza is 'far below the minimum required' and warns of famine conditions. Israel denies there is starvation in Gaza, accusing UN agencies of delays in collecting and delivering aid.
