The NYPD remembered him in a moving note shared on X. 'Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department,' the post reads. 'He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today. We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy.' Meanwhile, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that Tamura had a known mental health history. Local journalist David Charns of 8NewsNow reported that the suspect had one arrest in Las Vegas, which was a trespassing charge that was later dropped by prosecutors. Tamura is also believed to have allowed an innocent woman to exit the elevator bank without harming her while he was "spraying" gunfire across the lobby at 345 Park Avenue, officials said, as reported by the New York Post. The suspect allowed "her to walk past him unharmed" before entering the elevator, Tisch said.

Delhi HC declares Nutella a ‘well-known trademark' in Ferrero filed infringement case
The Delhi High Court has officially declared Nutella, the popular hazelnut cocoa spread, as a 'well-known trademark', observing that the brand enjoys widespread recognition not just in India but across the globe. 'This leaves no shadow of doubt that plaintiffs are well established in the markets all across the globe and are not mere fly-by-night operators. Their registered trademarks 'NUTELLA'/ and its variants are recognised all across the globe, including but not limited to India,' LiveLaw quoted Justice Saurabh Banerjee in his ruling. The Court also took into account that Nutella had already been recognised as a 'well-known trademark' by both the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the International Trademark Association. The judgment came in response to a suit filed by Ferrero SpA, the Italian confectionery company behind Nutella, against a company accused of trademark infringement. According to the allegations reported by LiveLaw, the defendant was engaged in the manufacture, supply, and sale of counterfeit Nutella products that bore identical trademarks, labels, and trade dress to that of Ferrero's original. Ruling in Ferrero's favour, the Court expressed concern over the public health risks posed by such counterfeit goods, particularly because they are edible products consumed by a wide demographic, including children.
