— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) May 10, 2025 About Fatah-II Missile:
Pakistan's Fatah-II is a hypersonic ballistic missile with a range of 400 km that is designed to strike distant targets with high accuracy. It's an upgraded version of the earlier Fatah-I, similar to advanced rocket systems like the US HIMARS and China's PHL series. One of the Fatah-II's features is its unique flat and fast-moving flight trajectory. The missile is difficult to detect and intercept by modern air defence systems, and poses a challenge to India's S-400 'Sudarshan Chakra' aerial defence system. However, the missile was intercepted by Indian air defence and destroyed near Haryana's Sirsa.
What sets Fatah-II apart is its modern technology. It uses advanced navigation systems and avionics to guide it. It's so precise that it can hit within just 10 meters of its intended target.

Yunus says sought PM Modi's help to stop Hasina from 'speaking to Bangladeshi people' but...
CA Yunus has said PM Modi ignored his request to stop former PM Sheikh Hasina from making political statements while staying in India. Speaking in London, Yunus said his government will continue efforts to extradite Hasina. read more Bangladesh's interim government chief, Muhammad Yunus, said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignored his request to stop former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from making political statements while in India. Speaking at Chatham House in London, Yunus added that his government would continue its efforts to extradite Hasina from India so she can face charges in Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal, which recently indicted her for ordering a police crackdown on protestors last year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'When I had a chance to speak with Prime Minister Modi, I simply said, 'You want to host her — I cannot force you to abandon that policy. But please help us ensure that she does not address the Bangladeshi people the way she currently is,'' Yunus said, while addressing the audience at the London-based think tank. More from World Yunus said he made this request to Modi during their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok this April. 'She announces that she will speak on a particular day and at a particular time, and the whole of Bangladesh becomes very angry,' he added. 'Modi's answer — and I quote — was: 'It is social media; we cannot control it.' What can you say? This is an explosive situation, and you can't simply walk away by saying it's social media. Yet this continues,' Yunus remarked. Sheikh Hasina fled to India in August last year after being ousted following mass student protests. Since then, India has not responded to any of the extradition requests made by Dhaka since December, after the interim government took charge. Yunus said his government would persist in seeking Hasina's extradition following her indictment by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal. 'The trial process has started. The tribunal has issued her notices for the crimes she has committed, and now she must respond,' he said. He also stated that they plan to involve Interpol and follow all proper legal procedures. 'We want the process to be legal and proper,' he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Yunus further said that he wants strong ties with India but claimed that 'fake news in the Indian press' is damaging those efforts.

Indian-Origin Man Sentenced In $2M Call Centre Fraud Targeting US Senior Citizens
An Indian-origin man has been sentenced to over six years in prison for his involvement in a nearly $2 million scheme to defraud senior citizens by using call centres abroad. Giving him the 75-month sentence on Wednesday, Federal Judge William Jung also ordered Pranav Patel to forfeit $1.79 million that was collected from seniors in Florida and elsewhere. According to court documents, Patel worked as a "money mule" -- collecting money or gold from victims -- and was convicted of money laundering, which he admitted to, in December. "Preying on vulnerable, unsuspecting elderly victims to rob them of their hard-earned money is despicable," Secret Service Special Agent Robert Engel said after the sentencing in the federal court in Tampa, Florida. "Even worse, the defendant's co-conspirators posed as government agents to defraud victims of nearly $2 million, threatening them with arrest if they didn't follow their demands," he said. Patel was busted when he went to a house to collect what he thought was a box of gold. Law enforcement officials, who had him under surveillance, arrested him immediately after he picked up the package. According to court papers, his co-conspirators operating from call centres abroad fraudulently identified themselves as officers from the Treasury Department or other agencies and told the victims that there were "warrants for their arrest". They were told that they had to pay them to avoid arrest, the documents said. Sometimes, they also told victims that they had to give their money and gold to the "officers" for safekeeping, according to the documents. Patel, 33, who lived in New Jersey, drove down to Florida and elsewhere on the East Coast to collect money and gold from seniors who had been threatened by people from the call centres. One of his victims told the court that because of the scam, he could not pay his mortgage and had to sell his house.
