Ahmed, Menal had married on May 24 over a video call last year
Ahmed's marriage with Menal Khan, a Pakistani citizen, came to light after India asked Pakistani nationals to leave the country as part of diplomatic measures taken in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
Menal was sent to the Attari-Wagah border to be deported but got relief from HC on April 29. The court allowed her to stay in India for 10 days.
Ahmed and Menal had married over a video call on May 24 last year. A CRPF probe found the jawan had "not intimated" his superiors about his wedding to the Pakistani national, as required by service rules, or her overstaying in India.

‘No Kings' protests: Anti-Trump erupt across US as military parade looms; officials urge calm
Tens of thousands of protesters rallied across the United States on Saturday under the banner of 'No Kings,' denouncing President Donald Trump's leadership as he prepared to headline a massive military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary — which also coincides with his 79th birthday. While no demonstrations were scheduled in the capital itself, rallies swept through nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, from bustling cities to small-town parks. In Philadelphia's Love Park — site of the flagship rally — light rain didn't deter crowds from chanting, singing altered lyrics to 'Y.M.C.A.,' and waving protest signs. Some signs read 'Fight oligarchy' and 'Deport the mini-Mussolinis.' Others addressed immigration with slogans like 'The wrong ice is melting. ' 'It's about defending democracy,' said Karen Van Trieste, a 61-year-old nurse from Maryland who returned to her hometown of Philadelphia to join the protest. 'There's just too much going wrong under this administration.' In Atlanta, the 5,000-person capacity rally outside the state Capitol quickly reached its limit, with overflow crowds spilling onto surrounding streets. A drum circle beat in front of Los Angeles City Hall, while in Charlotte, North Carolina, demonstrators shouted, 'We have no kings.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Masazir Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo National Guard mobilised amid warnings The 50501 Movement, organisers of the 'No Kings' campaign — a nod to 50 states, 50 protests, one movement — said the effort is aimed at resisting what they describe as Trump's 'authoritarian actions.' The protests come in the wake of widespread anger over recent federal immigration raids and Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles. In response, governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri activated the National Guard. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin warned, 'If you violate the law, you're going to be arrested.' In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis cautioned protesters not to cross the line near Mar-a-Lago, where a march is planned. Missouri's Mike Kehoe said his state would not 'wait for chaos to ensue.' Some law enforcement agencies, such as California's, placed their officers on tactical alert, cancelling all scheduled leave. In West Virginia, the National Guard was also put on standby. Local officials urge restraint Democratic governors urged protesters to remain peaceful. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said security preparations were in place for what could become a 100,000-strong crowd in Philadelphia. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and Washington state's Bob Ferguson both called on protesters to avoid violence, with Ferguson warning against giving Trump a reason to deploy federal forces. In Tallahassee, Florida, around 1,000 demonstrators chanted 'dissent is patriotic,' while carrying signs like 'One nation under distress.' Organisers explicitly instructed crowds to avoid clashes with counterprotesters and not to obstruct traffic. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner underscored that any illegal activity — including by immigration officers overstepping their authority — would be prosecuted. Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., he said, 'If you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you're going to be fine.'

All 10 Kolkata Police divisions to have cybercrime police stations
1 2 3 Kolkata: As cybercrimes and cyber threats surge across the city, Kolkata Police has begun planning "out-of-the-box" strategies to counter the menace. Besides rapidly modernizing itself and creating avenues to train more policemen with sophisticated modes of investigation, Lalbazar is also considering establishing a cybercrime police station in each of its 10 divisions. Although the exact launch date for these cyber stations is not yet determined, senior cops have initially agreed on the importance of creating these stations. Sources indicate that the process of identifying suitable buildings or locations for these stations in each division has already begun. Currently, Kolkata Police has only one cybercrime police station, located centrally at Lalbazar. Additionally, each division has a separate cyber unit that assists in solving various crimes and recovering mobile phones under the leadership of the divisional DCP. "There is no final decision yet on the role of these cyber units once the new cyber stations are established in each division. In all likelihood, these units will be expanded into full-fledged police stations. This will also solve the problem of lodging FIRs with local police stations, even as the cyber cell of the division handles the probe, leading to victims being forced to run around from one unit to another once essential recoveries are made," said a senior cop. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like BMW iX2 100% électrique BMW Voir les offres Undo Since this will entail huge manpower, the expansion is likely to occur in phases once the proposal is placed formally before the state administration and gets the necessary go-ahead, said the officers.
