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.

Police urge citizens to use new anti-narcotics helpline
Jaipur: Rajasthan Police has urge citizens to actively use the Union govt's newly launched anti-narcotics helpline, MANAS-1933, aimed at curbing drug trafficking and supporting rehabilitation of those affected by drug addiction. The 24x7 helpline allows the public to confidentially share information related to narcotics smuggling, as well as seek counselling and guidance for individuals battling substance abuse. The initiative is part of the Union govt's "Zero Tolerance" policy towards drugs and is linked with anti-narcotics task forces (ANTFs) across India. According to officials, the helpline is a key component of the govt's broader vision of achieving a drug-free India by 2047. The identity of informants will be kept strictly confidential, ensuring both security and trust, they said. The directive for state-level implementation and mass awareness of the helpline comes from Mahendra Kumar Khinchi, joint secretary of the home department. All departments have been instructed to ensure widespread promotion of MANAS-1933, with efforts extending down to schools, colleges, and village councils. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Düsseldorf: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo To support this awareness drive, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has launched an official awareness portal — — offering posters, brochures, videos, and other materials that can be downloaded and shared with the public.

Facial recognition along Amarnath route
Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police have mounted facial recognition systems (FRS) along the Pahalgam route of Amarnath Yatra to fend off against any terror attacks against the pilgrims, an official said here on Monday. The system has a feature that alerts security forces in real time in case any blacklisted person comes into the frame of the surveillance cameras, the person said. Images of active terrorists and suspected overground workers have been fed into this system to ensure fool proof security for the Amarnath Yatra. "As soon as any of the blacklisted persons walks into the frame, a hooter will go off at the surveillance centre manned by security forces so that steps to eliminate the threat can be initiated in real time," the official, involved in the enterprise, said. The FRS identifies an individual by analysing facial features from digital photographs or videos and looking for a match in the database. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Rwanda (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo

Nagpur: Central Railway's Nagpur division launched a crackdown on illegal ticketing under ongoing "Operation Uplabdh" and also unauthorised vending. While the Railway Protection Force (RPF) targeted ticket touts, the commercial department's catering department acted against the unlicensed vendors to ensure passenger safety, hygiene, and revenue protection. In a recent operation at railway reservation centre at Nagpur station's Santra Market end, the RPF's crime intelligence branch, led by ASI Pankaj Sharma and constable Harvinder Singh, apprehended an individual with a live "tatkal" ticket. The suspect admitted to booking tickets for others for a commission. A search of the individual's phone revealed multiple "tatkal" tickets amounting to over ₹29,000, indicating a systematic illegitimate operation. And booked him under Section 143. CR urged passengers to book tickets only through official platforms or authorised agents, especially with the summer travel rush increasing passenger traffic. The commercial department intensified efforts against unauthorised vending. Over the past two weeks, 122 unlicensed vendors were nabbed across key trains, including Secunderabad–Danapur Express, Sanghamitra Express, and Nagpur–Ballarshah sections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Inspecting teams confiscated and destroyed unhygienic items like unapproved buttermilk, non-Rail Neer water, and contaminated "chana", which pose serious health risks.
