The shooting has fuelled fears among some people in Sweden of a rising tide of gang violence, although police have not confirmed that the shooting was gang-related.
According to the Swedish press, at least one of the victims had ties to organised crime. Police have not confirmed that claim. Sweden has been seeking in recent years to stem a wave of violence between rival gangs vying for control of the drug trade.
Uppsala has long been the base of Sweden's two most notorious rival gang leaders, Ismail Abdo and Rawa Majid, although both are suspected of orchestrating their operations from abroad.

Kolkata wards stay on edge after night of violence, locals blame outsiders for unrest near police stations
People in Maheshtala stayed awake the whole of Wednesday night as fear of vandalism and looting continued to grip this locality where Hindus and Muslims have always lived peacefully. The locals claim that the rampage of the previous day was the handiwork of outsiders who destroyed people's vehicles, pelted stones on houses and looted shops even as policemen and the residents were attacked. And what baffles them the most is that the violence erupted in Kolkata's Ward No-7 which is in close proximity to Nadial police station in South 24 Parganas and Rabindranagar Police Station. Shah Alam Shah, who owns a readymade garment shop in Akra Fatak Fultala area, blamed the police for not taking action promptly. "The incident happened at a stone's throw from the police station but no one intervened for the first few hours. Hindus and Muslims have been living together in harmony. We never attack each other," Shah told ET. Opposite Alam's house, lives Piyali Devi, who said, "I was born here and have been living here for the past 50 years. I have never seen an incident like this. We have Muslim neighbours and the locals were not engaged in the attack. We are very scared. Stones were pelted and the attack continued for hours." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo According to the Diamond Harbour Police Superintendent Rahul Goswami, trouble started over building of a tulsi mancha where a woman from the minority community used to sell fruits. "There is an allegation by a group of a tulsi mancha," he said. What followed was mayhem. Live Events "I had a narrow escape. It all started when a mob of Muslims gathered and headed to the market. They vandalised my shop. The miscreants have broken the lock and destroyed everything. I have six family members and they are scared. There has been loss of over ₹50,000," Kuldeep Thakur, who runs a barber's shop, told ET. Thakur's shop was strewn with glasses, pieces of cosmetics bottles, scissors and broken chairs. Gopal Basu and RajKamal Das, who work at a roadside eatery, said, "Our eatery was vandalised and we were beaten up. There were young boys in the mob who were around 12 to 15 years."

Eight Tuljabhavani priests face action for spitting tobacco on the temple premises
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The temple administration of Tuljabhavani has issued notices to eight priests after surveillance footage showed them using tobacco and spitting inside the temple grounds, which officials consider a violation of the shrine's sanctity. The temple trust has indicated possible three-month entry restrictions for the priests, citing the Deul-e-Kawayat Act's sections 24 and 25 as grounds for disciplinary action. The administration said this conduct violated both priestly protocol and the sacred nature of the premises. The notices highlight how such actions negatively impact the temple's reputation and disrupt its functioning. Dharashiv collector Keerthi Kiran Pujar verified the situation and told TOI: "The CCTV cameras installed on the temple premises caught eight priests spitting. Notices have been served to those priests by the temple administration for explanation. Strict action will be taken against the guilty and they will be banned from temple entry for a fixed duration." The notices were issued to Vaibhav Bhosale, Vishal Magar, Lakhan Bhosale, Vishal Chavan, Vishal Gangane, Akshay Kishor Kadam-Bhaiyye, Rahul Pawar, and Dheeraj Chopdar. A senior temple administrator confirmed that the priests must provide written explanations within three days or face a three-month entry prohibition. 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 The violation was discovered during standard CCTV footage review, which showed the priests consuming tobacco and spitting within the temple complex, breaking established rules. The administration stressed that tobacco products are forbidden in the temple premises, and violations, particularly by religious officials, warrant strict action. This enforcement action, while not unprecedented, represents one of the strongest disciplinary measures taken recently to maintain proper conduct among staff at this significant Maharashtra Shakti peetha.

Work on at synagogue despite notice: Plaint to civic chief
Mumbai: The standoff over "illegal repair work" at the Magen David Jewish synagogue in Byculla continues despite the stop work notice issued by BMC. Complainant Moshe Shek who has been pursuing the alleged illegal restoration of the heritage structure met BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani on Thursday. Shek, himself a Jew, revisited the synagogue on June 6 and found that labourers were continuing "heavy repair work" behind closed doors despite lack of requisite permissions. Police were called to the site. Synagogue trust chairperson Solomon Sopher said no violations were being committed and that everything was in consonance with the law. "Propping work is on to safeguard schoolchildren who are only about 50ft away. No additional repair work is undertaken until the necessary permission is obtained." Arun Chavan, designated officer from BMC's E ward, said the trust has appointed an architect and a structural consultant. "We have been informed that scaffolding made of mild steel has been erected to support the ceiling. As approvals can take time, it is necessary to have temporary support to ensure the ceiling does not collapse." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo He said the architect confirmed that the ceiling is wooden and requires support to avoid any structural failure. "We shared photos of the structure and the scaffolding with the complainant, but he remained unconvinced." Shek told TOI, "Community members informed me that a lot of civil work was happening behind closed doors even after the notice was issued. I called BMC, which denied any such work taking place. On June 6, my team shot videos of labourers with gas cutting machines, welding irons all working... I met the building and factories officer on June 11, seeking the permission letters granted. Thereafter, I met Gagrani, who promised to monitor the matter. I also approached the civic heritage department." Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
