India takes up with US case of Indian student's handcuffing in Newark Airport
New Delhi, June 10 (UNI) India has taken up with the US Embassy in New Delhi the case of an Indian student being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by US officials at Newark Airport before deportation. According to sources, the Ministry of External Affairs has formally raised the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi. The Indian Embassy in Washington DC and the Indian Consulate in New York have also been in touch with the US authorities to ascertain the details of the case, the sources added. 'We so far have not received any details about the incident or the circumstances under which he was restrained, the flight he had to board or boarded and his final destination. We continue to follow up on the matter,' the sources added. A disturbing video of an Indian student being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by US officials at Newark Airport sparked outrage on Monday. The clip, filmed by Indian-American entrepreneur Kunal Jain, shows at least four officers restraining the student, with two kneeling on his back and with his hands tied. The Indian consulate general in New York yesterday said they had seen social media posts and were in touch with local authorities. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate today raised the issue at a press conference, where she said: "Indian origin students have been troubled, their visas are not getting processed, admissions are getting rejected... America sent back our 682 people handcuffed. Who gave them this right to treat people like animals? 'The American President is repeatedly insulting us. He took credit for the ceasefire and is equating us with Pakistan. He is threatening us with tariffs. Why is our country getting insulted like this?" UNI RN

10 people, mostly students, killed in mass shooting in Austrian school, several injured
Graz, June 10 (UNI) At least 10 people, mostly students, were killed and several were badly injured in a shooting incident in a secondary school in the Austrian city of Graz. The suspected shooter reportedly committed suicide later in one of the school's toilets. As per The New York Times, Austria's elite COBRA police forces along with a police helicopter, arrived at the crime scene after shots were reported. The mayor of Graz, Elke Kahr, said that the suspected shooter, several students and another adult, thought to be a teacher, were among the fatalities in the attack, the deadliest in Austria's postwar history. The Austrian Press Agency reported that as many as 30 people were injured. According to preliminary reports, the perpetrator was a 22-year-old ex-student who had described himself as a victim of bullying in the past. He reportedly fired shots in two classrooms, using a pistol and a shotgun, killing and injuring multiple pupils and teachers. The dead reportedly included seven pupils and one adult. The incident occurred at about 10am local time (0900 BST). Ninety minutes later police said there was 'no further danger' after a major security operation involving special forces and police helicopters. The Austrian Chancellor, Christian Stocker, condemning the incident wrote on X 'The shooting rampage at a school in Graz is a national tragedy that has deeply shaken our entire country.' Austria's President, Alexander Van der Bellen, said: 'What happened today … strikes our country at the heart. These were young people who had their whole lives ahead of them. A teacher who accompanied them on their journey.' Families gathered at a nearby sports hall where crisis intervention teams were on hand. The area around the school was cordoned off and public transport was diverted, with all streets surrounding the school guarded by armed officers. A spokesperson for the Austrian Red Cross told the public broadcaster ORF that more than 160 responders were at the scene, including emergency doctors and paramedics. Two information points were available for the school's students and relatives. Austria last experienced a major mass attack such as this more than a decade ago, when a Bosnian man killed three people and wounded about three dozen others after driving a car into crowds on the streets of the city and then attacking bystanders with a knife.

Iran-US to hold nuclear deal talks round 6 in Muscat Sunday
Tehran/Washington/Muscat, June 10 (UNI) The sixth round of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington are scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday, said Iran's Foreign Ministry Tuesday. Iran and the United States have held five rounds of talks so far, three of which were held in Muscat and two in Rome since the beginning of Tehran's talks with the US on coming to a possible deal on its nuclear programme and the lifting of sanctions. The fifth round was held on May 23 in Rome. In late May, the United States presented a proposal to Tehran through Oman for a potential nuclear deal with Iran. While both sides have acknowledged some progress, a decisive breakthrough has yet to be achieved, due to disagreements on uranium enrichment. While Iran views it as critical to its programme, the US is staunchly against any uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. Amid the ongoing negotiations, the US has called for the dismantling of all Iranian infrastructure built for the process, while Iran has denied American demands, insisting the programme will continue. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said he does not expect talks with the US to yield results and asserted that Iran 'needs no one's permission' to enrich uranium, reports Turkish agency Anadolu Ajansi. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the US proposal was not the outcome of the previous rounds of negotiations, and Iran would submit its proposal to the United States through Oman, according to Xinhua. He stressed that any proposal disrespecting Iran's national rights, including its right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and effective sanctions relief, is unacceptable. Baghaei said Iran's forthcoming proposal would be "reasonable, logically sound, and balanced," urging the United States to consider it seriously. "Accepting this proposal serves the interests of the United States," he added. UNI ANV SSP
