The victims were left unconscious and hospitalized, with one sustaining a fractured eye socket.
According to reports, the older Muslim male attackers questioned the men about their ethnicity and whether they were Indian or Sri Lankan, accusing them of "looking at women in their group in hijabs" before launching a vicious assault after the victims identified themselves as Indian and Sri Lankan.
The 20-year-old Indian-origin British Gujarati Hindu man's mother is from Ahmedabad and his father is a Ugandan Gujarati. MP Bob Blackman raised the case in the House of Commons. The victims' families are reportedly dissatisfied with the police response, as no arrests have been made so far.

NIA Takes Over Probe into Murder of Hindu Activist Suhas Shetty in Bajpe
Mangaluru: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formally taken over the investigation into the brutal murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty, who was hacked to death in broad daylight in Bajpe town on May 1. The central agency's team reached Mangaluru earlier this week and has initiated preliminary groundwork. Mangaluru Police have officially confirmed the arrival of the NIA team, led by DSP Pawan Kumar. The team has met with City Crime Branch (CCB) officers to collect case-related documents and briefings. The Union government had transferred the case to the NIA following pressure from BJP leaders, particularly Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta, who had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking a central agency probe. The NIA investigation may also include charge of collision of officials in aiding the murder of Suhas Shetty, which the Karnataka government was wary about. It is stated by the BJP leaders that a certain police official had checked the car of Suhas Shetty twice on the day he was murdered, the checks had been carried out twice within a span of few hours to ensure that Shetty and his co passengers in the car had no weapons. Initial investigations by the local police had pointed to the involvement of a group of eight Muslim youths, allegedly affiliated with the banned organisation Popular Front of India (PFI). The calculated nature of the attack and the possible ideological motivation behind the killing raised concerns about a broader conspiracy. The NIA is likely to revisit the evidence and re-examine the suspects in custody. It may also explore whether provisions under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) are applicable if firm links to proscribed outfits are established. There are also reports suggesting that the agency will look into possible lapses by certain local police personnel. With the NIA's entry, the case is set to widen in scope, potentially extending beyond the immediate assailants to uncover a larger network, if any, behind the murder.

Bribe Claim After Air India Crash: MHA Clarifies Immigration Fee Was Legal Visa Fine
A heartbroken relative of Manish Kamdar, a victim of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, claimed a bribe of £1000 (approx. ₹1 lakh) was paid to an immigration officer so that his UK-born grandson, holding a British passport, could board the flight. Tragically, the boy died in the crash along with his grandmother and great-grandmother. The allegation sparked outrage—until the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a clarification. MHA sources stated that due procedure was followed in issuing the exit permit for the minor. The boy had overstayed in India for 1 year, 2 months, and 2 days, triggering visa fees and fines. The total legal charge amounted to ₹91,140, including a $484 visa fee and ₹50,000 overstay penalty. The MHA stressed that no bribe was demanded and the payment was a legal requirement under Indian immigration rules. Here's the full breakdown of the facts versus the emotional claim.#airindiacrash #mhaclarification #immigrationbribeclaim #visaoverstay #ahmedabadcrash #manishkamdar #rudrakishanmodha #airindia #exitpermit #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More

Chhattisgarh: Three children dead, parents critical in Kanker family suicide bid
Raipur: Three children from a family in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district have died after reportedly being poisoned by their parents, who are currently undergoing treatment in critical condition at a community health centre in Pakhanjur. The tragic incident is believed to have occurred late at night in PV-70 village, part of the Pankhajur settlement under the jurisdiction of the Partapur police station. A senior police officer told IANS that the authorities were alerted early on Saturday morning about the family's suicide bid. By the time officials arrived, the three children had already died, and the parents were rushed to hospital. 'Both parents remain unconscious, making it difficult for police to determine the cause of the incident. Once the parents regain consciousness, investigators hope to gather more information. "Meanwhile, the police are examining possible reasons that could have led to such an extreme act,' Ravi Kujur, Sub-Divisional police officer told IANS. According to the officer, the family is of Bangladeshi migrants whose ancestors settled in India during the 1970s. The children have been identified as 11-year-old Varsha Bairagi, 7-year-old Deepti Bairagi, and 5-year-old Devraj Bairagi. Their parents, currently under treatment, are Devendra Bairagi, 36, and Namita Bairagi, 32. Police have dismissed reports suggesting the poison was consumed at a lodge. 'The incident took place inside the family's home in PV-70 village. He said the couple attempted suicide along with their children by ingesting poison. All three children died, and the parents continue to receive treatment at the Pakhanjur Community Health Centre,' investigating officer Yashwant Shyam clarified to IANS. The area where the family lived is one of 133 settlements — known as Paralkot Villages (PV) — established in the region of Kapsi, Pakhanjur, and Bande. These settlements were created for people displaced from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and have been numbered as PV-1 to PV-133. Many of these migrants faced severe hardships, having lost large tracts of agricultural land and being forced to survive on minimal holdings. In 1958, the Indian government established the Dandakaranya Development Authority to support such refugees.
