Cops alone can't stop rapes, says MP DGP, blames obscene content
Indore: Madhya Pradesh DGP Kailash Makwana highlighted that police action alone is insufficient to prevent sexual assault cases, pointing to declining social values attributed to widespread access to explicit content through digital devices and internet connectivity.

Addressing media Saturday about rising sexual assault cases, the DGP said, "There are many reasons why I believe this is happening - availability of internet, mobile phones, obscene content, alcohol. Through mobile phones, anyone can connect with anyone from anywhere. There is a serious decline in morality. There are many such reasons, and to expect the police to handle all of this alone is not possible."
Makwana said domestic supervision has weakened considerably.
"Within homes, people are no longer able to keep a watch on each other. Many of the boundaries have been broken, and the kind of obscenity being served through the internet from a young age is undoubtedly distorting children's minds. That, somewhere, is contributing to the increase in such crimes," he added.
'MP police neutralised 10 Naxals in past 6 months'
Speaking to journalists in Indore on Sunday after a comprehensive review meeting, DGP Makwana announced significant progress in anti-Naxal operations.
'In its fight against Naxalism, MP police have neutralised 10 Naxals in past six months alone — marking the highest such figure recorded in any single year in the state. Previously, the maximum number of Naxals eliminated in a year stood at six,' the DGP said.
The meeting included senior officials from Indore commissionerate and SP and DSP-ranked officers from all eight districts in Indore range. The DGP said, 'While Naxal problem remains widespread in Chhattisgarh, the issue in MP is restricted to Balaghat and Mandla. Among these, Balaghat continues to be most affected. In a major boost to the state's counter-insurgency efforts, 325 new posts have been approved in specialised anti-Naxal force.

How anti-Zionist Boom, Boom, Tel Aviv song set internet on fire
The Israel-Iran war left the world divided. While some argued the Jewish state had the right to pre-emptively strike Iran, its avowed nemesis, others said the Islamic republic had the right to a peaceful nuclear programme. As both countries had a go at each other, dropping bombs and firing missiles, a viral anti-Zionist song divided people further. 'Boom, Boom Tel Aviv', written by a controversial American war veteran, celebrates the Iranian missile barrage on the Israeli Boom, Tel Aviv' has been circulated widely by Iranian and Russian media outlets since its release on June 20, and it went viral immediately across social media platforms like Instagram, X, and TikTok, with 577 million views in less than 24 hours, according to a report by IRNA, an Iranian wire service.A report on the song was featured on the front page of the Tehran Times on June 25 with the headline -- 'Audio Warhead: Boom Boom Tel Aviv'. Though it has been taken down by social media platforms for violating their policies, it has been posted and re-posted by people who see it as an "anthem" of Iran's resistance against Israeli video of the song shows a missile barrage hitting Tel Aviv buildings and destroying song has crossed over into the real world.

He is a radical figure, being branded by several critics as a "neo-Nazi" figure."Angelo John 'Lucas' Gage poses as pro-Palestine, but is a Nazi who openly expresses his hate for Jews and promotes Hitler. He seeks to discredit anti-Zionism by conflating it with anti-Semitism, exactly as Zionists do. He's a dangerous fanatic and a tool of the deep state," wrote journalist Dan Cohen in October, long before Gage's song went also uses racial terms for Indians who have criticised him for "spreading hatred".GAGE HITS BACK AS PLATFORMS REMOVE BOOM, BOOM, TEL AVIVThe track struck a nerve online, with many users syncing it to footage of Iran's missile strikes, amplifying its reach.

'Barron Trump should be deployed in war against Iran': Trump's son faces huge outrage, faces call to join US Army
Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald Trump and Melania Trump, is facing a huge criticism on social media, urging him to enlist in the United States Army. Barron Trump, who is 19-year-old and has just completed his freshman year at New York University, has found himself at the center of a controversy where netizens reacted to Trump's Iran bombings with the growing demand of enlisting Barron Trump in the US army . This is in recompose for Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities without receiving clearance from Congress. After Trump sent B-2 bombers to hit Iran's main uranium enrichment site, Fordow, using powerful 'bunker buster" bombs and without getting approval from Congress, people on social media began suggesting that Barron should join the US military. ALSO READ: 'If he gets in...': Trump vs Zohran Mamdani escalates as US President threatens to pull the plug in fiery clash by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brought to you by Undo Why is Barron Trump facing heat online? Posters on social media joked that Barron Trump would likely avoid a draft if one were to be implemented using the same "bone spurs" excuse his father did in 1968. Many on X, formerly known as Twitter, gave a common opinion that if President Trump is prepared to send other people's children into harm's way, shouldn't his own son be first in line? 'Don't panic, MAGA; not a single Trump 'male' will be anywhere near the fighting,' one person posted on X. Live Events 'If Trump decides USA should get involved in a ground war in Iran, I assume Barron will be enlisting since Trump family has so much love and support for our troops? Be a patriot!' another said. 'Barron trump should be the first young American to be deployed in donald trump's war against Iran,' one posted. "Trump has us at war. Barron should sign up for the Army now", reacted one user. ALSO READ: Russia's bone-chilling World War III threat to this western country after secret 'anti-Putin campaign' Another commented, "POTUS @Trump should order his son Barron to immediately enlist into US Army and be sent to fight Iran. Bravo' "And with the first pick of the 2025 US Draft, the US Army Selects…Barron Trump out of Mar-a-Lago" "It should be mandatory that any sitting President who starts a war (which means every Republican) their sons MUST enlist and MUST serve in combat," another user said. "There is no reason why Barron is living in NYC with his Step Daddy Hank, living life like a normal 19 year old. He should be in boot camp right now. Or, get deported back to the country of which he sprung with his Mother." It's worth noting that the President received five deferments during the Vietnam War—four because he was in college and one due to a claimed foot condition called bone spurs. However, that last deferment has been doubted for years. In 2019, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump admitted he made up the injury. ALSO READ: Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of US citizenship? Shocking twist as New York's mayoral race heats up 'He told me not to answer detailed questions from reporters and just say he got a medical deferment," Cohen said, according to CNN. 'He ended the conversation by saying, 'You think I'm stupid? I wasn't going to Vietnam.'" And it is worth noticing that there is no legal requirement for children of the US Presidents to serve in the Army. Barron Trump, by all public accounts, has maintained a low profile since his father returned to office and to date no member from the Trump family has served in the US Army.

YSRCP urges SP to follow HC orders allowing Tadipatri former MLA to visit his home
A delegation of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders met Anantapur Superintendent of Police P. Jagadeesh and sought implementation of High Court orders which permitted former MLA Kethireddy Pedda Reddy to visit his residence in Tadipatri. Led by Anantapur district president Ananta Venkatarami Reddy, Mr. Pedda Reddy and others, the delegation submitted a representation to the SP on Monday (June 30), a day after police forcibly shifted the former MLA to Anantapur from his residence in Tadipatri. Speaking after meeting the SP, Mr. Venkatarami Reddy said the YSRCP has taken up a program 'Recalling Chandrababu Manifesto' in every Assembly constituency to expose the failure of the NDA government to implement its pre-poll promises. 'We want to take up the programme in Tadipatri also and the police should allow us to do it,' he said. Mr. Venkatarami Reddy said the government is resorting to vindictive politics and anarchy is prevailing in Tadipatri. 'If there are any restrictions on Mr. Pedda Reddy visiting Tadipatri, the police should give it in writing,' he demanded. Mr. Pedda Reddy said the High Court has issued orders to provide necessary security for his visit to Tadipatri two months back but the same were not being implemented. 'Though Tadipatri Municipal chairperson Prabhakar Reddy is issuing warnings and making provocative statements and attacking my supporters, the police are not taking any action against the TDP leaders,' he said. Mr. Pedda Reddy further said that there used to be a peaceful atmosphere in Tadipatri while he was an MLA.
