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.

Robert Vadra ready to appear before ED, no intention to avoid summons: Lawyer
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra 's husband Robert Vadra has no intention of avoiding summons and is ready to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) anytime before or after his travel abroad later this month, his lawyer Suman Khaitan said on assertion came two days after Vadra failed to appear before the ED after he skipped the agency's summons on June 10 for questioning in a money laundering case linked to UK-based alleged arms consultant Sanjay the Wayanad MP's husband, was summoned by the probe agency to record his statement in the case on June 10 but could not appear as he had flu-like symptoms on June 9 and undertook a COVID test according to the health protocol, his lawyer said Vadra was ready to record his statement virtually but the agency did not accept the plea and wanted his physical presence to do the needful."My client Robert Vadra has been made aware of certain media reports that erroneously suggest that my Client has been avoiding ED summons. My client would like to bring the true facts to your attention and would like to state unequivocally that such media reports are completely untrue."Vadra has complied with all the ED summons, demands for information and documentation for the last ten years. He has repeatedly affirmed and demonstrated his full cooperation with the authorities and will continue his full cooperation as a law-abiding citizen of India," Khaitan said in a said Vadra received a summons to appear before the ED on June 10 in respect of a case in which he has already appeared before the agency on multiple occasions dating back to 2019 when he also filed voluminous documents."On 09.06.2025, he came down with flu-like symptoms and was advised to take a COVID-19 test . This is in keeping with the current practice being followed by many institutions including the PMO. Consequently, he informed the ED that he would not be able to attend proceedings in person on 10.06.2025."He also informed the ED that as a law-abiding citizen who is keen on clearing his name, he is happy to attend the proceedings in person as soon as he is medically cleared to do so.

Man's Body Found In Ice-Cream Freezer: Timeline Of Tripura Murder Case
Agartala: Sariful Islam, 24, a resident of Agartala's Indranagar who works as an electrician in Tripura capital's Smart City project, was in a relationship with a 20-year-old college student from Chandrapur neighbourhood. But they were about to break up since both belonged to different faiths. Some seven months ago, the girl's cousin Dibakar Saha returned to Tripura from Bangladesh after completing an MBBS course and began studying for India's exam to get a medical practice licence. Dr Saha had been eyeing his cousin initially, and both started having intimate chats on the internet, which the police have seized as evidence. Sariful knew Dr Saha through his girlfriend. However, the doctor had plans to kill Sariful for a long time. A few months ago, he made the first murder attempt when he called Sariful to a place which they frequented. He mixed sleeping pills in fruit juice and gave it to Sariful, who reached home before the effects of the pills kicked in. Sariful then fell ill for many days, but did not doubt Dr Saha. Dr Saha also had another girlfriend, Nabanita Das, a postgraduate who was preparing for a teaching job. On June 8, Dr Saha invited Sariful to the house of Joydeep Das, a relative of the doctor, to accept a gift. Dr Saha also brought his girlfriend Nabanita Das and a common friend, Animesh Yadav, who is a BPharma student. After Sariful reached Joydeb Das' house in Indranagar, he and Dr Das had an altercation over the 20-year-old woman. After that, Dr Saha strangulated him. With the help of the others and using his medical knowledge, he put the body in plastic wrappers and tied the limbs with ropes. Two days earlier, he had bought a huge trolley bag. He put the body inside the bag and took it to the house of Mousumi, a friend of Nabanita Das. They told Mousumi that it contained Nabanita's personal items. The police are however looking at Mousumi's role too. The three then left Indranagar on an Uber Auto, whose driver the police have questioned. On June 9 morning, the police received a missing person complaint from Sariful's parents, after which a search and investigation began. The same morning, Dr Saha's parents came from their hometown Gandacherra in Tripura's Dhalia district, 120 km from Agartala. They took the trolley with them and dumped it under an ice cream freezer at their grocery shop in Gandacherra and locked the place. Dr Saha's father alone returned to Agartala the same evening. He began contacting right wing groups to turn the matter into a Hindu-Muslim couple love affairs case, police sources told NDTV. Led by West Tripura Superintendent of Police (SP) Kiran Kumar, the police launched a massive hunt for Sariful. From his phone records, the police found he made the last call to Dr Saha. When the police summoned him, Dr Saha behaved as if Sariful was his close friend and he was worried about the missing man. He told the police that he invited Sariful to give him a gift. The police then put him under surveillance. The first clue was the motorcycle of Sariful, which was found parked near Joydeep Das' house. When he was questioned, he too tried to mislead the cops. Sariful's family then told police about his relationship with a 20-year-old girl, who is a Hindu. When the police spoke to her, she said she had doubts about his cousin Dr Saha. Police took her phone and found chats that became the clinching evidence. Despite this, Dr Saha did not admit to the crime and tried to mislead the investigation again. The police then turned their attention to Nabanita Das, Dr Saha's girlfriend. When the police told her about Dr Saha's relationship with his 20-year-old cousin sister, Nabanita Das broke down and told the whole matter, following which the police detained her. On the night of June 9, the police detained Dr Saha, Animesh and Joydeep, and also Dr Saha's father. On June 10, the police took Dr Saha's father to Gandacherra and in the presence of a magistrate recovered the trolley from the ice cream freezer. They found the body inside. The police detained Dr Saha's mother too. When all the accused were cross questioned, Dr Saha admitted to the crime, the police said. The police on June 11 did a crime scene reconstruction and in the late evening announced the case to the media. The Tripura Police cracked the case within 24 hours of receiving a missing person complaint. They plan to take 10-day custody of the accused.
