In Delhi's Bawana, nephew of jailed gangster Manjeet Mahal, was shot dead during a morning walk. Police suspect gang rivalry, with fugitive gangster Nandu as the main motive.
A man was shot dead in broad daylight in Delhi's Bawana area during a morning walk on Friday.
The victim is the nephew of jailed gangster Manjeet Mahal. Police suspect gang rivalry as the main motive behind the murder, Hindustan Times reported.
As per the reports, infamous gangster Nandu, who is currently in hiding in London, is the prime suspect. Notably, Mahal had a long-standing rivalry with UK-based fugitive gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu.
The victim, 43-year-old Dipak, was on a morning walk in Nangal Thakaran village with his daughter when at least two unidentified killers on a motorcycle opened fire on him.
The attackers reportedly fired seven to eight rounds, killing Dipak on the spot. His daughter sustained pellet injuries to her hand during the incident. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is now reported to be out of danger, a senior police officer confirmed.
In a similar incident that occurred in Punjab, jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria's mother and one other person accompanying her were reportedly shot dead by unidentified people on a bike in Batala. The victim, identified as Harjit Kaur, sustained critical injuries and was transferred to a hospital in Amritsar, news agency PTI reported. She died later from her bullet injuries.
'Unidentified bike-borne persons opened fire when Harjit Kaur and another person Karanvir Singh were in the car," Deputy Superintendent of Police, Batala, Paramveer Singh said.
Harjit Kaur, who hails from Bhagwanpur, was earlier elected as a member of the village panchayat.
Jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria had been detained under the PIT-NDPS Act in March. He was shifted from the central jail in Bathinda to Assam's Silchar jail. Meanwhile, Bhagwanpuria was already in the custody of the Punjab Police in the 2022 Sidhu Moosewala murder case, along with several other cases against him.

Kolkata law college gangrape survivor had ‘bite marks, nail scratches': Medical proof backs female student's complaint
Kolkata law college gangrape case: A senior official of the Kolkata Police on Friday said that the medical examination corroborated a law college student's allegation that she was gangraped, new agency PTI reported. "The evidence corroborated what the victim alleged in her complaint lodged with the Kasba Police Station. There is evidence of forceful penetration, bite marks and nail scratches on her body," the officer told PTI. Chief Police Prosecutor Sourin Ghosal said that the prime accused, a former student of the college and a practicing criminal lawyer, raped the first year law student while the other two stood guard outside the room. "According to a Supreme Court judgement, all persons in a group involved in cases of gangrape must be held liable, even if all of them did not commit the act of rape. In this case, two other persons helped in the rape. So this is a case of gang rape, and they are also accused in the case," Ghosal told PTI. A female student was allegedly gangraped inside a law college in Kolkata's Kasba on June 25. The police have arrested all three accused. According to an ANI report, the three accused, named as Monojit Mishra (31), Zaib Ahmed (19), and Pramit Mukhopadhyay (20), were former students or staff members of the same law college. All of them have been sent to a four days police custody till July 1. The alleged sexual assault took place between 7:30 pm and 10:50 pm on Wednesday within the law college premises. According to the official, one of the accused allegedly committed sexual assault, while the others were involved in the crime. The victim's family filed a police complaint against the accused, and the police have taken swift action in the matter. Two of the accused, Monojit Mishra and Zaib Ahmed, were arrested on Thursday, near Siddhartha Shankar Roy Sishu Udyan, close to Talbagan Crossing in Kolkata. Pramit Mukhopadhyay was arrested later the same night at his residence. The police have seized the mobile phones of all three accused. The Trinamool Congress on Friday highlighted the need for implementing the Aparajita Anti-Rape Bill after all three accused were arrested in the Kolkata law college gangrape case. Condemning the incident, the TMC said that the 'tragedy once again underscores the urgent need for the implementation of the Aparajita Anti-Rape Bill to establish a strong deterrent against sexual offences, emphasising the necessity for speedy investigations, swift trials, and stringent punishments.' On September 3, 2024, the West Bengal Assembly had unanimously passed the Aparajita anti-rape bill, that seeks capital punishment for rapists in the state. The anti-rape bill was moved in the wake of widespread and continuing protests that had rocked West Bengal in the aftermath of a Kolkata doctor's rape and murder. The post-graduate trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was found dead in a seminar hall of the institute on August 9. (With inputs from agencies)

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's petition rejected by court amid tensions with Iran, accused of serious charges including..., was seeking two...
(Photo: AP/Alamy) New Delhi: Amid tensions with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has received a major blow from a Jerusalem court. The District Court on Friday, 27 June 2025 rejected a petition seeking a two-week postponement of the hearing in three corruption cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman said that the petition submitted by Netanyahu's lawyer Amit Hadad did not provide any solid basis or reason that would be sufficient to cancel the hearing. Netanyahu submits copy of his schedule A few hours after the court's decision, the Prime Minister also presented a second petition, in which he also submitted a copy of his schedule for the next week to prove that he needed to postpone the hearing. Netanyahu's lawyer argued on Thursday, June 26, that amid the ongoing ceasefire after the recent war with Iran, the Prime Minister needed two weeks of relief to focus on extremely important bilateral, national and security matters. What was Israeli PM's schedule? During this petition, several media reports said that Israel and the USA were planning a comprehensive agreement to end the Gaza war and normalize the situation with Arab countries, although there has been no official confirmation of this. What is Netanyahu accused of? Prime Minister Netanyahu is accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases. He denies all the allegations and claims that all this is part of a political conspiracy, in which the police and the state prosecution department have falsely filed charges against him. Hollywood connection The accusations include accepting some $200,000 in gifts such as cigars and champagne from two billionaires, Hollywood-based Israeli movie mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian magnate James Packer, according to a Times of Israel report. Deep anger at court's decision Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich expressed deep anger at this decision of the court and prosecutors. He said that it is extremely unfortunate that the court and the prosecutors have failed to understand national priorities and interests. This situation is a big failure for the country. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir also described the decision as out of touch with reality and reiterated US President Donald Trump's appeal in which he demanded a complete halt to the trial. Likud Party MP Tali Gottlieb said on X that she is fed up with the insulting treatment being meted out to the Prime Minister. She expressed hope that Netanyahu will maintain his struggle, pride and strength, as he has shown to Israel.
