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.

Refusal To Take Pre-Wedding Bath Finally Exposed Kerala Bride Who Married 12+ Men In 10 Years
Last Updated: 'Nahanam', a key Hindu wedding ritual in Kerala symbolising purification, was skipped by Reshma, who insisted on going straight to a beauty parlour before the ceremony A 30-year-old man in Thiruvananthapuram recently uncovered an elaborate marriage fraud involving a woman named Reshma, thanks to a suspicious refusal to participate in a pre-wedding bathing ritual. This ritual, known as 'Nahanam', is a significant part of Hindu wedding traditions in Kerala, symbolising purification before marriage. The groom, Aneesh and Reshma had connected through a matrimonial site and, after extensive conversations, had set a wedding date. However, on the day of the wedding, Reshma refused to partake in the Nahanam ritual and insisted on going directly to a beauty parlour. This refusal raised suspicions, leading to a search of her belongings, which revealed documents of her previous marriages. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Reshma, a resident of Udayamperoor in Ernakulam, had been involved in a decade-long scam, marrying over a dozen men, and absconding with jewellery and other valuables each time. Reshma's pattern involved meeting men through matrimonial sites, weaving convincing tales, and then disappearing post-marriage with their possessions. The police, informed by Aneesh, confirmed that she had a two-year-old child. In the latest case, Reshma introduced a woman as her mother. The groom, Aneesh, had posted a marriage advertisement in a matrimony group. Reshma met Aneesh and claimed she was adopted by her foster mother, who was not interested in her marriage. Aneesh believed her story and agreed to marry her. A day before the wedding, Aneesh arranged for Reshma to stay at his friend's house, who was a member of another village panchayat. On the wedding day, Reshma refused to bathe and said she would go straight to the beauty parlour. This made Aneesh's friend suspicious of her. The wedding and banquet preparations were all in place, but a search of Reshma's bag uncovered documents related to her previous marriages. Acting on a complaint by Aneesh, a team led by Kattakada DySP N. Shibu, SHO V.S. Ajeesh, and SI Venu made a dramatic entry into the marriage hall and arrested Reshma. During interrogation, Reshma confessed that she had married another man just 45 days ago and was planning to marry yet another man from Thiruvananthapuram next month. Despite her claims of seeking true love, police suspect the list of her marriages may be more extensive, though victims are reluctant to come forward due to embarrassment. Reshma's history of deception began in 2014 when she eloped with a man from Ernakulam during her degree studies, living with him until 2017. She subsequently married four more times by 2022 and had a child in 2023. Remarkably, she managed to marry twice within ten days in 2025. First Published: June 11, 2025, 12:17 IST

'Go after them and their families': Islamist terror leader calls for assassination of Donald Trump, JD Vance in 30-minute rant; watch video
(Photo: X) An Islamist terror group leader has released a disturbing video calling for the assassination of US President Donald Trump , Vice President JD Vance, and several top advisers. He said their strong support for Israel was the reason behind the threat, according to the New York Post. The Yemen-based figure is Sa'ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, who is the leader of al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In a disturbing 34‑minute video titled 'Inciting the Believers', released on Sunday, the terror leader urged American Muslims to 'take revenge' and strike at those he called 'infidel Americans'. He named Trump, Vance, as well as figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio , Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and billionaire Elon Musk . 'Go after them and their families and all those who have any ties or are close to the politicians of the White House,' al‑Awlaki said. He further said, 'There are no red lines after what has been happening to our people in Gaza,' and endorsed recent antisemitic attacks and prior assassination attempts on Trump, according to security sources. The video also includes a broader incitement of violence against Jewish people in the US. 'Do not leave a single safe place for Jews — just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,' al‑Awlaki said. 'Even hospitals are being bombed … Take revenge.' Al‑Awlaki became head of AQAP in March 2024 and has a $6 million US bounty on his head offered by the State Department. AQAP is officially designated a foreign terrorist organisation by the US government. The Associated Press reported that al‑Awlaki's video was his first since assuming leadership and also urged lone‑wolf attacks targeting leaders in Egypt, Jordan and Gulf states over the Gaza conflict. According to analysts, AQAP appears to be trying to regain prominence amid growing tensions in Gaza and rising influence of the Iran‑backed Houthi movement in Yemen.
