Karnataka high court directs reporting & verification of foreign nationals
Bengaluru: Through an interim directive, Karnataka high court has instructed the additional chief secretary, home department, to issue a govt circular/notification by June 18 to various entities — including educational institutions, medical facilities, employers, state police, local authorities, intelligence bureaus, district collectors, and police commissioners — concerning foreign nationals.
The mandated circular shall stipulate that all interactions with foreign nationals must be promptly reported to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in a designated format. Additionally, all current foreign nationals affiliated with these institutions require audit and verification. Regular status updates must be submitted to FRRO and state police. Justice Suraj Govindaraj noted that non-compliance would result in civil, criminal, or administrative sanctions under the relevant laws.
The court was addressing a petition from six Syrian nationals, residing in Banaswadi, Bengaluru, requesting visa extension after their permits expired in 2015. The petitioners are also requesting refugee status.
"The phenomenon of overstaying by foreign nationals has emerged as a significant concern. It's evident that such overstays have cascading implications, including but not limited to threats to national security, strain on local administration and law enforcement, challenges in public health tracking, and exploitation in informal employment sectors," the judge noted while directing the respondents to submit affidavits/reports by July 16 for consideration on July 21 regarding potential SOP or model guidelines implementation.

Hyundai Creta, Fortuner, Maruti Brezza: This family gang stole 25 SUVs in Delhi in past 1 year, 3 held
Family gang of 3 stole 25 SUVs in 10 months, held NEW DELHI: Stealing high-end SUVs from upscale areas in Delhi and selling them became a family operation for a 56-year-old man and his son and son-in-law over the past 10 months. All of them have been arrested. The trio didn't include anyone else in the gang to prevent any information leak, said police. Using sophisticated tools to bypass vehicle security systems, they managed to steal 20-25 SUVs over this period and sold them illegally through receivers based in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. After studying the pattern and timing of the thefts and analysing CCTV footage from various cases, police found that the gang primarily operated during the early hours of the day, targeting three specific types of SUVs—Hyundai Creta, Fortuner and Maruti Brezza—usually stationed near parks and gyms. The footage showed them disabling, starting and stealing the vehicles in five to seven minutes, often taking only a few seconds to gain entry. Deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka) Ankit Singh said during the investigation, around 200 CCTV cameras were reviewed. Footage revealed that a car was repeatedly seen trailing the stolen vehicles in multiple incidents. Acting on a tipoff, police laid a trap near a drain in Uttam Nagar and arrested Raman, a resident of Rohini, along with his son Sagar, as they arrived in a white car with a fake numberplate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Upon searching the car, police recovered several tools commonly used for car theft, including two car scanners, one hand clip with wire, two key connectors, one engine control module, two hammers, six lock T tools, a wire cutter, a cutting plier, twelve keys and two numberplates. Interrogation revealed that Raman and Sagar were part of a family-based gang in Delhi, which also included Neeraj, Raman's son-in-law, who was arrested later. Records showed that Raman was involved in 18 such cases, Sagar in 12 and Neeraj in 14. The accused admitted to stealing 20-25 SUVs. Raman, identified as the gang's kingpin, explained that he formed this close-knit, family-only gang to avoid leaks and prevent infiltration by unknown associates. Their unique modus operandi involved using sophisticated tools to exploit the vehicles' onboard diagnostic ports. These ports, typically used by authorised technicians to diagnose vehicle systems, were manipulated by the gang to disable security systems and steal the cars.

The IDF also intercepted several Iranian drones, and sirens rang out in multiple cities across the Jewish State. — IDF (@IDF) Iran, on the other hand, began the "next phase" of its Operation True Promise 3, which was its response to the rival's Operation Rising Lion, under which the IDF hit Tehran's nuclear facilities. The crisis began on Thursday night, when, in a sweeping and highly coordinated attack, 200 IDF fighter jets struck deep inside the Islamic Republic. Key targets included parts of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile production sites, and command centres. The strikes also killed top commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, and the country's nuclear scientists.

The powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the retaliatory attacks. "Using a combination of precision-guided and smart systems, Iran targeted military centres and airbases that served as the source of the criminal aggression against our country," an IRGC statement read.

American air defense systems and Navy assets in the Middle East helped Israel shoot down incoming ballistic missiles Tehran launched in response to Operation Rising Lion. The US has both ground-based Patriot missile defense systems and Terminal High Altitude Air Defense systems in the region, capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. UK to move fighter jets to Middle East The United Kingdom is deploying fighter jets and other "assets" to the Middle East amid the escalating conflict, its Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Saturday. "We are moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support," AFP quoted Starmer as saying.

Who is Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect of the deadly Minnesota shooting
Vance Luther Boelter, 57, has been marked as the primary suspect in the tragic shootings of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman on June 14. The attacks, which resulted in Hortman's death and Hoffman's critical injury, are being investigated as politically motivated. Boelter, who remains at large, is considered armed and dangerous, with the FBI offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to his capture. The Minnesota shooting The attacks began around 2 AM on June 14, Saturday. Boelter, disguised as a police officer using a latex mask and fake uniform, entered the home of State Senator John Hoffman in Champlin, Minnesota, shooting both Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Approximately an hour later, he went to the Brooklyn Park residence of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman, fatally shooting her and her husband, Mark. After the police arrived, Boelter engaged in a brief gunfight before fleeing the scene. A statewide manhunt is currently underway. Boelter's background and career Boelter has a diverse professional history spanning security, international development, and religious ministry. However, as reported by Reuters, Boelter listed himself as having no political party preference. On a LinkedIn post six years ago, Boelter urged Americans to vote and value the process: "If you believe in prayer, please keep the United States in your prayers." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo As per the same profile, he graduated from St. Cloud University with an undergraduate degree in international relations. He then went on to Cardinal Stritch University to receive a master's degree in management and a doctorate in leadership for the advancement of learning and service. As reported by Fortune, he co-founded Praetorian Guard Security Services, a private security firm that provides 'residential security patrols' by 'armed' and 'uniformed' guards, according to its website, and served as its Director of Security Patrol. The website's leadership page features Boelter next to the CEO and president of the business. The website's biography states that he 'has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America, and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip. ' Additionally, he led Revoformation Ministries, a Christian nonprofit focused on missionary work in conflict zones, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. Boelter also directed the Red Lion Group, a development company based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, involved in sectors like agriculture and media. 'I have been doing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa for the last three years with the Red Lion Group,' he wrote on his LinkedIn page in May, stressing that he is currently open to work. In 2016, Boelter was appointed to Minnesota's Governor's Workforce Development Board by then-Governor Mark Dayton, and he was reappointed in 2019 by Governor Tim Walz. Political affiliation Boelter's political views appear to align with far-right ideologies. As reported by The New York Times, Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley confirmed that a 'manifesto' was found inside Boelter's vehicle, listing 70 targets, including Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates. The document reportedly included a list of names, prompting law enforcement to increase security across the state. Chief Mark Bruley said in a press conference, "When we did a search of the vehicle, we did find a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. We immediately made alerts to the state to provide security wherever necessary.' According to CNN and ABC News, the list featured names such as Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, Governor Tim Walz, US Senator Tina Smith, and US Representative Ilhan Omar. Additionally, flyers associated with the anti-Trump 'No Kings' movement were found, suggesting Boelter's opposition to the former president and his policies. Boelter's actions and the materials recovered from his vehicle indicate a deep-seated political animus and a willingness to resort to violence to express his views. Personal life Boelter was married to Jenny Boelter. The couple seems to have daughters – Faith, Hope, and Grace, according to public documents. According to Minnesota wedding websites that correspond with their names, two of the daughters appear to be married. Some of Boelter's five children—four daughters and a son—were homeschooled, as indicated by family members' posts. Vance and Jenny Boelter co-led Revoformation Ministries. He was ordained as a clergyman in 1993. His personal beliefs and activities indicate a strong commitment to his faith and a history of engagement in international missions.
