A US court has sentenced Harsh Patel, alias 'Dirty Harry', to 10 years in prison for running a smuggling ring that led to the deaths of four of a Gujarati family at the US-Canada border in 2022. His partner, Steve Anthony Shand, will spend six years and six months in jail. But despite global headlines the tragedy made, the illegal migration pipeline remains active
The sentencing of two men in a US court this week for a 2022 border crossing tragedy has delivered justice, but will it serve as a deterrence?
More than three years after four members of a Gujarati family — Jagdish Patel , 39, his wife Vaishali, 37, and their children, Vihangi, 11, and Dharmik, 3 — were frozen to death in a snow-covered field along the US-Canada border, the human smuggling pipeline that led them there continues to thrive.

Smuggled North Korean phone reveals a chilling surveillance system
Smuggled North Korean phone reveals a chilling surveillance system Team TOI Plus Jun 5, 2025, 22:47 IST IST From replacing 'Oppa' with 'Comrade' to labeling South Korea a 'puppet state', a smuggled phone uncovers how Pyongyang has turned everyday tech into a tool of total control At first glance, it looks like any other budget smartphone — touchscreen interface, Android-style icons, even a familiar camera app. But this device smuggled out of North Korea in late 2024 tells a darker story. Beneath the façade of consumer tech lies a meticulously engineered surveillance tool, designed not to connect users to the world but to keep them firmly walled inside Pyongyang's ideological fortress.

44-yr-old from Gujarat gets 12 yrs in US jail for scamming elderly citizens
Ahmedabad: A Gujarati man living illegally in the US for 12 years was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for his role in a fraud scheme that targeted elderly people in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. The punishment was announced by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Illinois on Tuesday. The 44-year-old man who hails from North Gujarat, was convicted in Feb by a federal jury. The charges included one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud, and one count of illegal entry into the US, the officials said. "This illegal alien admitted that he came to Illinois because the state would give him a driver's licence, and then he used that licence to steal from the elderly all across the Midwest," said US attorney Steven D Weinhoeft. The fraud was carried out as an imposter scam. Victims received texts or emails saying their Amazon accounts were compromised. When they responded, they were connected to fraudsters pretending to be federal agents. The victims were told to withdraw their savings for protection against supposed identity theft and deposit the funds into fake US govt accounts. In reality, the money was stolen and sent to accounts in India controlled by the scammers, the officials said. The accused worked as a courier, personally collecting cash, gold, and other assets from the victims. According to trial evidence, he once picked up $177,000 worth of gold bars from an elderly woman using a walker and oxygen at her assisted living facility. "These scams need people on the ground in the US in order to be successful, and those willing to help them should receive stiff sentences," the court said during sentencing. The accused had entered the US illegally near Vancouver. He later connected with the fraud group in Georgia and moved to Chicago. There, he obtained a driver's licence illegally and travelled through Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana to collect money on behalf of the network. "This case highlights the serious public safety risks posed by individuals who enter the US illegally and exploit our systems to target some of the most vulnerable among us," said Matthew Scarpino, ICE Homeland Security Investigations Chicago special agent in charge. The federal trade commission reported in March 2025 that imposter scams are now the most common type of consumer fraud in the US.

Tragedy mars RCB's IPL title celebrations: BCCI questions organisers who were caught off guard by huge crowd
AP Photo NEW DELHI: At least eight are feared dead and over 40 were injured after a stampede broke out outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Royal Challengers Bengaluru had planned their IPL 2025 victory celebrations but things got out of control shortly before the event was due to begin inside the stadium. Around 5pm, multiple reports of injuries and deaths emerged from outside the stadium but the programme continued as planned. It is understood that Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council Chairman Arun Dhumal had to call up the franchise, who were unaware of the events which unfolded outside the venue. Dhumal was assured that the event will be wrapped up quickly inside the stadium but the damage was already done outside it. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Even after getting a call from the IPL chair, why wasn't the event wrapped up? reached out to RCB for a comment on the unfortunate incident but they are yet to respond. 'A particularly special feeling': Andy Flower hails Virat Kohli, RCB after historic title win In what was a clear case of poor planning, a lot of innocent lives were lost and panic gripped the city which was in the mood to celebrate RCB's maiden IPL title. has reliably learnt that the event management company DNA was only asked to ensure the sound and stage arrangements inside the stadium. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo Clearly there was a lack of preparedness and a sudden influx of people overwhelmed the security personnel stationed outside the cricket ground. Additionally, there was a lot of confusion regarding the team's open bus parade with the IPL title and the situation could have gotten much worse had it happened. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Davajit Saikia termed the incident "unfortunate" and felt the organisers should have done better. "It is very unfortunate. This is a negative side of popularity. People are crazy for their cricketers. The organisers should have planned it better. My deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. I wish early recovery of the injured," said Saikia in an interaction with PTI. "When one organises a victory celebration of this magnitude, proper precautions, safety and security measures need to be taken. There have been some lapses somewhere. After such a glorious ending to the IPL, this has been an anti climax. There have been IPL celebrations in the past as well, like in Kolkata last year when KKR won but nothing happened there," he added. There have been plenty of celebrations in the country in the past but did the authorities not get adequate time to be prepared for an event of this magnitude? Could there have been a better way to go about this? Who exactly is at fault? The event management company, the franchise, the government? There are plenty of questions but no answers at the moment.
