The three were found to be linked to Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by the outfit at Dispur Last Gate in Guwahati as part of a broader ULFA (I) conspiracy to trigger multiple blasts across Assam to disrupt Independence Day celebrations in 2023, the agency said.
The NIA, which took over the probe in September 2024, found that the IEDs were planted with the intent to cause death or injury, destroy property, and threaten the unity, integrity, and sovereignty of India and to spread terror among the people. PTI

GTA 6 trailer 2 shows Lucia attacked mid-heist on a plane, fans spot betrayal plot
Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer has fueled intense fan speculation, especially about a high-stakes airplane scene involving Lucia. In seemingly an undercover heist mission, Lucia is brutally assaulted by a well-built gang member on a cargo plane. The gruesome scene, together with the recent leaks, has made fans speculate that this is possibly a betrayal twist within an even bigger airport robbery. Lucia's aerial battle suggests betrayal in undercover robbery In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from GTA 6 trailer 2, Lucia is seen struggling against a large bodybuilder inside a plane's cargo hold. The scene ends with her being thrown hard against the open door of the wheel bay, raising serious questions about her safety and the mission's outcome. The attacker's size and aggression suggest she is not just an obstacle, but a key figure in what might be a deeper betrayal. Online commentators soon likened the action to set-piece cinematic moments within games such as Uncharted, drawing attention to Rockstar's move towards more choreographed set pieces. But it's the back-story that has most fans interested: leaks and theories suggest this is the set-piece for a heist that went wrong, where Lucia is double-crossed by her own crew in or after a robbery at an airport. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Leaked information and fan theory backs betrayal narrative As per leaked rumors, the operation entails Lucia infiltrating to execute a robbery inside the airport compound. But upon completion of the robbery, a group of bodybuilders, reported to be her temporary cohorts, betray her, and she is subjected to the explosive airplane assault witnessed in the teaser. This story is consistent with the overall themes of deception, changing allegiances, and survival which GTA 6 appears to be focused on. Fans have also noted the visual foreshadowing in the trailer, Lucia's undercover equipment, the plane scene, and the abrupt violence, all hinting at a climactic betrayal twist in her narrative. Although Rockstar hasn't confirmed any details about the plot, the population consensus is becoming increasingly loud with every rewatch. Lucia's aerial showdown in GTA 6 trailer 2 may be more than a showy action set piece, it could be a pivotal shift in her character development. If the betrayal rumors hold water, Rockstar is once more following through on its promise of gritty, unscripted storytelling in its most ambitious game to date.

Woman in nurse's uniform steals infant from Gumla hosp, arrested in Ranchi after late-night chase
Gumla: A woman dressed in a nurse's gown stole a 14-day-old girl child from the special newborn care unit (SNCU) of the Gumla sadar hospital on Friday evening but police acted swiftly and recovered the child within hours of the crime from Ranchi district. They also arrested the woman and her husband for the crime from Bijupara Chowk, around 90km from the hospital after a late-night chase along the Gumla-Lohardaga-Ranchi state highway. Soon after the baby was stolen, Gumla civil surgeon Dr Naval Kumar filed an FIR with the Gumla police station, saying a woman, later identified as Babita Toppo (30), a resident of Pipratoli village under the Chanho police station of Ranchi district and dressed in a nurse's gown, took the child away at about 7.30 pm on Friday reportedly for inoculation. She then rushed out of the hospital with the child where her husband Suraj Lohra (22) was waiting on a motorcycle. The CCTV cameras installed at the hospital caught the couple fleeing with the child, Dr Kumar said. The child belonged to Ratni Indwar and Nago Khadia of Redwa village under the Sisai police station of Gumla district and they brought her for treatment to the sadar hospital. The child was kept at the SNCU since May 31. Soon after registering the FIR, police lodged a case under sections 97 and 303 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and started an investigation. Speaking to TOI, Gumla SP Haris Bin Zaman said, "A team of police, led by Gumla SDPO Suresh Prasad Yadav, was set up and acting on a tip-off and based on the footage captured by CCTV cameras, we set up barricades and alerted our Ranchi counterparts." He also said, "Meanwhile, the team was following the leads and chased a motorcycle with a woman pillion who held a child on her lap. After matching the motorcycle registration number from the CCTV footage, the couple was stopped at a special barricade set up at Bijupara Chowk under the Chanho police station limits of Ranchi district on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday." When their identities were verified, they turned out to be the culprit couple stealing the child, the SP said. Zaman added, "Babita confessed to us about her role in the crime during interrogation.
