Statistics show there is one incident every 50 mins, but rarely is action taken until it turns violent
On the street, at the beach, in a cab, even at home… there's that gaze, that uneasy crawl under your skin, the sense of being watched. Nearly every Indian girl has her own stalking story, differing only in degree and intensity. Sometimes, it takes the form of street harassment; at other times, it is a creepy relentless presence on social media.

Last mobile location helped when ground search, helicopters couldn't trace bodies: Kin of 4 octogenarians killed in road crash in US
The bodies of four octogenarians, including two from Ahmedabad, who had gone missing in the United States since the night of July 29, were found late Saturday in the West Virginia mountains, along the Big Wheeling Creek Road. After several days of land and aerial search yielded no trace of the missing persons or their vehicle, investigators used the last known mobile phone locations to zero in on the crash site. 'Since the area is a ravine with thick vegetation, nothing was visible from the ground during search operations. Helicopters also couldn't trace anything. When the mobile data was extracted, it pointed to a specific location, which led police to the bodies. The last signals from their cellphones were located near Moundsville and Wheeling,' Himani Divan, daughter of Shailesh Divan, told The Indian Express. She had been in touch with her cousins since the night of July 29. Dr Kishore Divan (89), Asha Divan (86), Shailesh Divan (87) and Gita Divan (83) were travelling by road from Buffalo, New York, to Prabhupada's Palace of Gold — an ISKCON temple in Marshall County, West Virginia — when their car reportedly went off the road and crashed. It was Shailesh and Gita Divan's first visit to the temple. The couple, residents of Ahmedabad's Satellite area, were visiting Shailesh's elder brother Dr Kishore, who had moved to the US 45 years ago. They had arrived in the US in early June and were scheduled to return next weekend. 'We informed the police when my parents' phones were unreachable late on July 29. We grew suspicious as they hadn't reached their destination. My uncle was driving. From initial information, it seems the car rolled into the ravine. Perhaps, they lost balance or misjudged a turn on the winding road,' Himani said. US authorities confirmed Sunday that the four had died in a vehicle crash. Their car was found around 9:30 pm local time Saturday, off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road, about five miles from Prabhupada's Palace of Gold near the Pennsylvania border. The Divan family has historic ties to Ahmedabad's Proprietary High School Trust, founded in 1931 by Jivanlal Divan and Balvantrai Thakore. Himani said her great-grandfather Balvantrai Thakore and her aunt Asha's grandfather Jivanlal Divan started the school and trust together. According to the Trust's website, the two men participated in Mahatma Gandhi's 1930 Dandi March and were jailed. Fearing British seizure of assets, teachers transferred the school's ownership to a trust in 1931. The school was later renamed Divan Ballubhai High School and expanded over the decades to include nursery and English-medium sections. On Sunday, the Hindu Cultural Society of Western New York (HCSWNY) posted on Facebook: 'It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr Kishore Divan, Mrs Asha Divan, Mr Shailesh Divan and Mrs Gita Divan. The Divan family is a pillar of the Indian community of WNY. Dr Divan's contributions have been long and sustained. He was a founding member of the Hindu Cultural Society and the India Association of Buffalo… Their absence will leave a lasting void in our community. The family requests privacy for the time being… We pray for the family, and may the souls of the deceased rest in peace.' Dr Kishore and Asha Divan, who lived in Buffalo, are survived by two sons, five grandchildren, and one great-grandson — all settled in the United States. Family members said all four will be cremated in the country.

Nimisha Priya: Death sentence suspended, Yemeni victim's family presses for execution
Hope is fading for Nimisha Priya, as the family of the man she was convicted of murdering continues to push execution. Despite a delay in the hanging, the victim's relatives have urged Yemeni authorities to proceed without further postponement read more Only blood money can save Nimisha Priya from the gallows in Yemen. News18 Malayalam Hope continues to fade for Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse from Kerala convicted of murder in Yemen and sentenced to death, as the victim's family remains resolute in demanding the death penalty. Although her execution, initially scheduled for 16 July 2025, has been postponed indefinitely, the victim's relatives are now urging Yemeni authorities to carry it out without further delay. A letter calling for the 'speedy implementation of the retaliation sentence' against Priya was shared on social media by Abdul Fattah Abdo Mahdi, the brother of the murdered Yemeni national, Talal Abdo Mahdi. Dated 3 August, the letter is addressed to Yemen's Attorney General, Judge Abdul Salam Al-Houthi, and reaffirms the family's demand for the sentence to be enforced. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'More than half a month has passed since the postponement, and no new date has been set. We, the victim's family, firmly demand our right to have the sentence carried out and reject any attempts at mediation or settlement,' the letter reads. The letter further adds that carrying out the execution is essential to uphold justice and their legal rights. India denies travel request for delegation supporting Priya Meanwhile, the Indian government has refused permission for a group from the Nimisha Priya International Action Council to travel to Yemen, citing serious security concerns. Although the Supreme Court recently allowed the group to pursue clemency talks with the victim's family, such travel requires clearance from India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), as travel to Yemen remains banned for Indian nationals. In its response, the MEA noted the fragile security situation in Sana'a and the absence of formal diplomatic ties with the current regime in Yemen. It stated that the Indian Embassy, previously based in Sana'a, has been relocated to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, due to safety concerns. 'The security situation in Sana'a is unstable, and recent regional developments have made travel even more dangerous. Any negotiations must be strictly between the victim's family and Nimisha Priya's authorised representatives,' the ministry said, adding that it continues to explore all possible avenues in the case. Background of the case Nimisha Priya, originally from Kerala's Palakkad district, moved to Yemen in 2008 and worked as a nurse in a government hospital. She later left her position to establish her own clinic, reportedly in partnership with Talal Abdo Mahdi and another woman. According to Priya's lawyer in India, Subhash Chandan, Talal had allegedly abused both women, seized their passports, and restricted their movement. In a desperate attempt to escape, Priya and her associate reportedly drugged Talal, an act that is believed to have resulted in his death. The case intensified after authorities discovered Talal's mutilated body, leading to Priya's arrest. Officials also allege that she attempted to flee the war-torn country.

Chocolate Wrappers, Voter ID Cards Link Pahalgam Attackers To Pak: Sources
Chocolate wrappers, Pakistani ID cards, satellite phone logs and more have linked Pahalgam attackers with Pakistan, sources say. The evidences recovered by the Indian agencies between July 28-29 echo Union Home Minister Amit Shah's speech in the Lok Sabha on July 29, which said that the identities of the terrorists have been traced to Pakistan. "For the first time we have government-issued Pakistani documents in hand that nail the nationality of the Pahalgam attackers beyond doubt," Shah had said. Forensic, documentary and testimonial evidence collected during and after Operation Mahadev conclusively showed that all three attackers of the Pahalgam terror attack were Pakistani nationals and senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives who had been hiding in the Dachigam-Harwan forest belt since the day of the attack. No local Kashmiri was part of the shooting team. The terrorists were identified as Suleman Shah (code named Faizal Jatt), an A++ commander who was the mastermind and lead shooter; Abu Hamza (code named Afghan), an A- grade commander, was the second gunman; and Yasi (code named Jibran), was an A- grade commander, was the third gunman and rear security, as per sources. As a part of evidence to link these terrorists to Pakistan, the security forces recovered Pakistan Voter ID Cards. Two laminated voter slips issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan were found in the pockets of Suleman Shah and Abu Hamza. The voter serial numbers (photographed and circulated to the FIA) correspond to electoral rolls in Lahore (NA-125) and Gujranwala (NA-79) respectively. Further, they found National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA)-linked Smart-ID chips. A micro-SD recovered from a damaged sat-phone contained the NADRA biometric records (fingerprints, facial template, family tree) of all three men, confirming their Pakistani citizenship and addresses in Changa Manga (Kasur district) and Koiyan village near Rawalakot, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, as per sources. The security forces further found Pakistan-manufactured personal items. Wrappers of Karachi-based chocolates were found in the same rucksack that carried spare magazines. Lot numbers printed on wrappers were traced to a May 2024 consignment shipped to Muzaffarabad, PoK. The security forces further tracked the terrorists' movement upto the attack. The details revealed that they had crossed LoC near Gurez sector. Intelligence Bureau intercepted placed their first radio check-in from the Pakistani side. On April 21, the terrorists moved into a seasonal hut ("dhok") at Hill Park, 2 km from Baisaran. Two detained Kashmiri helpers, Parvaiz and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, confessed to sheltering them overnight and providing cooked food. On the day of the attack, they trekked to Baisaran meadow, which was evident as the GPS waypoints recovered from Suleman Shah's Garmin device match the exact firing positions reported by eyewitnesses. They then carried out shootings and then escaped north-east toward Dachigam. There were shell casings at the scene that matched the three AK-103 rifles recovered on 28 July. The 7.62x39 mm casings found in Baisaran were test-fired against the three AK-103 rifles seized on July 28, wherein the striation marks matched 100 per cent. Futher, DNA evidence was also found. The Mitochondrial profiles extracted from blood on a torn shirt found at Pahalgam were identical to the DNA of the three bodies recovered in Dachigam. Upon tracing digital footprint, it was found that a satellite phone (IMEI 86761204-XXXXXX) used by the trio had been pinging Inmarsat-4 F1 every night between April 22 and July 25; triangulation narrowed the search grid to 4 km² inside Harwan forest. The command and control links in Pakistan were found to be Sajid Saifullah Jatt, LeT's south-Kashmir operations chief (a resident of Changa Manga, Lahore), who was the overall handler; voice samples from the recovered sat-phone match his earlier intercepted calls. Rizwan Anees, LeT Rawalakot Chief, visited the families of the slain attackers on 29 July to organise ghibana namaz (funeral prayers without bodies) and was filmed by locals--footage now part of the Indian dossier. On July 28 Indian security forces killed the three men who had carried out the April 22 Pahalgam massacre, in which 26 civilians--mostly Hindu tourists--were gunned down in Baisaran meadow, an official statement said.
