On Camera, California Woman Hurls Racial Slurs At Black Lady; Police Launch Hate Crime Probe
Last Updated:
More controversies erupted after an X user identified the offender as a Hindu named Priya Sharma.
A woman in California came under fire after a video showed her abusing a black woman with racial slurs. The controversial incident reportedly unfolded at the parking lot of the Bay Area over the weekend. In the footage, the woman, sitting in the driver's seat of her car, was seen hurling racial remarks at someone. The verbal feud supposedly started over a parking issue. According to reports, the offender called the black woman 'ni**er" and even mocked her for her appearance, mentioning 'fake a** eyelashes*.
After the clip led to outrage on social media, California police launched an immediate investigation, charging the offender with a hate crime.
'Due to the nature of the verbal exchange between the involved parties, the incident has been classified as a hate incident and is currently under investigation by the department's criminal investigation bureau," the Pinole Police Department shared in its official statement.

The victim was shattered by the sudden attack. She opened up about her experience during an interaction with the California-based publication, KTVU.
'It's quite unfortunate that the verbiage she was using. It's unacceptable. I don't understand why she was using it towards anybody in public at all. She's obviously not supposed to be using that type of vulgar language," she revealed under the conditions of anonymity.
After the post came to light, several other social media buffs rubbished those claims. One of them said that the woman was not a Hindu, but a Christian named Natasha Chand who hails from Fiji. Some also put forward a screenshot of her Facebook handle as evidence.

California Police have yet to disclose the identity of the offender. She reportedly has a criminal history. The woman was allegedly charged with the offence of repeated theft at a beauty store in Concord, and the case is yet to be settled.

Gautam Adani visits Chinese equipment makers as US legal woes linger
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani traveled to China last week to meet industrial equipment manufacturers, marking what appears to be his first overseas trip since the US unveiled criminal and civil cases against him in November. The visit, including to a solar module maker, underscores Adani's continued efforts to maintain momentum in renewables even as he faces heightened scrutiny abroad. Sagar Adani , who oversees the green arm of the conglomerate's sprawling empire, accompanied his uncle on the trip, according to a social media post by one of the companies he visited. The trip to China could signal a renewed push for international engagement as Gautam Adani tries to shake off controversies, from US legal troubles to investor concerns about corporate governance practices, following a bruising short-seller report in early 2023. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Prices of Solar Panels Might Actually Surprise You Solar Panels | Search Ads Get Info Asia's second-richest person, along with his nephew Sagar, face criminal and civil charges in the US over their alleged involvement in a $250 million bribery scheme to pay regional officials in India to lock in solar-power contracts. — BROAD_ltd (@BROAD_ltd) Live Events The Adani Group has denied the claims, though both Gautam and Sagar have curtailed their international travel since the indictment was announced. The Indian conglomerate is building one of the largest renewable energy parks — five times the size of Paris — near India's western coast with solar panels and wind turbines. The billionaire visited a Jinko Solar Co. manufacturing plant, inspecting the facility's automated production lines, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement on June 4. Its energy storage solutions are well-suited to India's high-temperature conditions and will be integrated into Adani's projects to bolster grid stability and renewable energy absorption, it said. Adani also visited Broad Group's facilities, the Chinese firm said in a post on X. The company has a range of subsidiaries that includes a wind turbine manufacturer. A spokesperson for Adani didn't immediately comment. The group's renewable energy ramp up plans are crucial for two of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's policy pledges — making the country carbon neutral by 2070 and self-reliant, especially in manufacturing. India is one of the biggest markets for China's solar modules and Adani's visit could also signal room for better business ties between the two countries. While relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors remain fraught, there have recently been signs of a thawing. In January, they agreed to resume direct flights, facilitate visas and restart sharing data of trans-border rivers. A few months later, the nations announced the resumption of an annual pilgrimage to the Tibet Autonomous Region, organized by India's foreign ministry, that had been suspended for years after border clashes erupted.

Documentary screening in haste, can jeopardise murder trial: Moosewala's father
After British broadcaster BBC World Service released a two-part documentary, 'The Killing Call', on YouTube on the assassination of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala on Wednesday morning, his father, Balkaur Singh Sidhu, alleged that the screening in haste could jeopardise the ongoing criminal trial into the murder. 'The documentary builds a false narrative and maligns Moosewala's image. It has been released online in haste for commercial gains and could jeopardise the ongoing trial of his murder,' Balkaur said after a function at Musa village in Mansa district to mark the birth anniversary of the singer, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu. The documentary was originally scheduled for a public screening at Juhu, Mumbai, coinciding with Moosewala's birthday. However, amid growing controversy and legal objections, the broadcaster shifted the release to YouTube. The first part of the documentary is on Moosewala's early life, rise to fame, and controversies surrounding him. The second part delves into the circumstances surrounding his assassination on May 29, 2022, in Mansa district. The 28-year-old singer was driving his jeep without police security when attackers fired over 30 bullets at him. He was later discovered slumped in the driver's seat. Canada-based Goldy Brar, who has alleged ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the killing and has since been designated an 'individual terrorist' by the National Investigation Agency. The case remains under investigation, with no convictions yet, while Brar continues to evade arrest. New songs runaway hits Moosewala's family released three new songs of the slain rapper — '0008', 'Neal', and 'Take Notes' — on his YouTube channel at 10am on Wednesday. With this, the total number of songs released after Moosewala's death touched 11. Within four hours of the release, each of the tracks had more than 18 lakh views. Balkaur Singh said: 'We have full faith that the court will do justice in our son's murder. Unfortunately, all those who claimed to be standing with our family were seen giving interviews to the foreign broadcaster.' The Mansa court listed Balkaur's petition for hearing on Thursday but refused to stay the screening. Balkaur has named the foreign broadcaster along with two individuals, Ishleen Kaur and Ankur Jain, as respondents in the suit. The investigative documentary interviewed Canada-based gangster and key conspirator in Moosewala's murder, Goldy Brar. In the voice notes, Brar alleges why he ordered the singer's killing. The documentary has interviews with two senior police officers of Punjab and Delhi, who worked on solving the murder and arrested several accused. Besides the singer's friends, his former manager and journalists were also interviewed to trace Moosewala's journey from a village in Punjab to the 'hip-hop scene of eastern Canada'. They talked about people in his life, his association with gangsters and circumstances. 'It's a story that takes us from the turbulent history of Punjab to the contested politics of modern India, and from the shadowy world of organised crime to a chilling phone call with the fugitive gangster, who says he ordered the hit,' the BBC World Service says in the video's description. Old video clips of interviews with Moosewala and his father also find space in the documentary.

However, as per defence officials, most of these drones did not carry any payload and appeared to be for the purpose of surveillance. From January 1, 2025, to April 22, 2025, when the Pahalgam attack was carried out, a total of 35 drones were recovered or downed by BSF.
