Meghalaya is safe: Tourists back state's reputation after Raja Raghuvanshi's murder
The serene beauty of Meghalaya's Weisawdong Waterfalls in Sohra was marred by a grim discovery on June 9, when police recovered the semi-decomposed body of Raja Raghuvanshi in a gorge near the falls, alongside a bloodstained machete. The incident has raised concerns about safety in one of India's most cherished tourist destinations. However, tourists visiting the state have come forward to defend Meghalaya's reputation as a safe and welcoming haven. advertisementThe incident, though shocking, has not dampened the spirits of travelers, many of whom continue to explore the state and interact positively with the local community. 'There are only two types of people in this world — good people and bad people,' one tourist said. 'The good will do good everywhere and the bad will spread evil even in this beautiful valley. Meghalaya is very safe — we trekked all the way down to the falls and felt energised.'The tourist emphasised that despite the tragedy, there is no general sense of danger in the area. Instead, the focus remains on the state's natural beauty and the warmth of its people. 'Even with the language barrier, the locals are incredibly friendly. We are communicating in broken English and Hindi, and everyone has been very helpful,' the traveler tourist, Dr. Dilip from Bettiah in Bihar, visited Meghalaya with his wife and two children. He dismissed growing public fears about safety. 'People have this illusion that Meghalaya is dangerous. But I came here with my family, and we had a great experience. People were cooperative everywhere we went. There is no need to fear,' he said. The tourists also added that the incident has left the locals distressed. Many feel that the crime does not reflect the nature of their community and fear that outside perceptions may unfairly tarnish the state's image. 'The locals are upset,' one tourist observed. 'They're not used to this kind of thing. This crime was not from within.'In recognition of the swift and courageous efforts by the authorities and local volunteers, Meghalaya's Tourism Minister Bah Paul Lyngdoh on Tuesday felicitated the multi-agency rescue and investigation team involved in the to India Today, Minister Lyngdoh reaffirmed Meghalaya's commitment to safety and justice and said, 'Meghalaya has always been a peaceful state, and we've seen record tourist footfall over the years. In fact, in 2005, Skyscanner identified Meghalaya as the most preferred destination for Indian travelers. With that reputation, we are committed to upholding our standards.'advertisement'We welcome tourists with open arms, but let me be clear, any breach of the law will be dealt with firmly. Those who cross the line and engage in criminal activities will be held accountable,' he added. Tourism stakeholders hope that this isolated crime will not overshadow Meghalaya's long standing reputation as the 'Scotland of the East', or as one tourist put it, 'We shouldn't call it the Scotland of the East anymore. We should call Scotland the Meghalaya of the West.'Tune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Meghalaya

Amritsar grenade attack case: NIA searches 15 BKI-linked places in Punjab, Haryana
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday searched 15 locations linked with the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror organisation in Punjab and Haryana in the Amritsar police post grenade attack case. The places searched include Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Pathankot, Kapurthala and Rupnagar districts of Punjab and Sirsa in Haryana in connection with the January 2025 grenade attack at a police post in Amritsar district of Punjab, said the NIA in a statement. NIA said a host of incriminating materials, including mobiles and digital devices and documents, were seized during the searches, and are being examined for further clues to the terror syndicate of the BKI. The attack on Police Chowki Gumtala under Police Station Cantonment was one of a series of such attacks carried out by BKI operatives across law enforcement establishments in the two north Indian states. It was claimed by Happy Passian, a foreign-based operative of the proscribed BKI. NIA said its investigations had revealed that the grenade, as well as funding for the terror attack, were provided by Sarwan Singh alias Bhola to the perpetrators, Bagga Singh alias Rinku and Mandeep Singh alias Magga. Bagga was arrested in February 2025 by the Punjab Police, which had initially investigated the case. Mandeep Singh is absconding. As part of its investigation, NIA, which took over the case in April 2025 and re-registered it as RC-09/2025/NIA/DLI, today searched the premises of accused and suspects linked to Mandeep as well as Sarwan Singh alias Bhola, currently based in the US, and his brother Mandeep Singh alias Makka. Bhola and Makka are brothers of notorious drug smuggler Ranjit Singh alias Cheeta, who has been previously arrested by NIA in two narco-terror cases - RC 18/2019/NIA/DLI and RC - 23/2020/NIA/DLI. Sarwan Singh alias Bhola is also an accused in the second narco-terror case.

No one's forgotten Pakistan sheltered Osama: India after US' Pakistan praise
Representative image NEW DELHI: As American authorities laud Pakistan's counterterrorism efforts, India said Thursday that no one has forgotten that Pakistan gave shelter to Osama Bin laden and its role in the Mumbai attacks. Government also reminded the US that the man who helped locate Osama Bin Laden is still in a Pakistan jail. "The record of what Pakistan actually is, is very clear. We all know the Pahalagam attack is only the most recent example of cross-border terrorism. I would remind you that only recently the conspirator of 26/11 Tahawwur Rana was extradited from the US," said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. Rana had helped key conspirator David Headley plot the Mumbai attacks (26/11) in 2008 and was recently extradited by the US to India. "Obviously, none of us have forgotten that Pakistan gave shelter to Osama Bin Laden. It is significant that the person - Dr Shakil Afridi - who helped locate Osama bin Laden is still imprisoned by the Pakistani military," he added. The official was responding to questions about US Central Command (CENTCOM) commander General Michael Kurilla remark that Pakistan was a "phenomenal partner in the world of counterterrorism". Kurilla also said the United States has to have a relationship with Pakistan and with India, and noted that it cannot be a "binary switch" where Washington cannot have ties with Islamabad if it has relations with New Delhi.
