New CCTV footage emerges of Indore honeymooners in Meghalaya, CM seeks CBI probe
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to initiate a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the murder of an Indore-based newly-wed man Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya, saying that 'every possible effort' was made to trace his missing wife Sonam. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav wrote in his X account: 'In this hour of crisis, Madhya Pradesh stands with Mrs. Sonam Raghuvanshi and her family. I have discussed this matter with the Chief Minister of Meghalaya. Senior police officers from Madhya Pradesh are in constant contact with Meghalaya officials. I have requested the Honorable Union Home Minister, Shri @AmitShah ji, to order a CBI investigation in this case. Every possible effort is being made for the safe return of Mrs. Sonam Raghuvanshi.' The mystery of what happened to the newlywed couple Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam Raghuvanshi from Madhya Pradesh's Indore who had travelled to Meghalaya for their honeymoon on May 20 — nine days after their wedding — continues to confound investigators. The couple had checked out of the Shillong hotel on May 23 and travelled to an area near Cherrapunji. They last talked to their family that afternoon. Raja's body was found with wounds inflicted by a Dao (machete) while Sonam has yet to be found. A Special Investigation Team was formed to look into the incident, although police have yet to make any arrests. The search operation for Sonam has also run into difficulties posed by tough terrain, dense forests and unrelenting rains, which have resulted in the rescue teams managing to work for a few hours before calling it a day. A new CCTV footage released Saturday shows Raja and Sonam arriving at a homestay in Shillong on a scooter to drop off their luggage before riding off again. The video, which is four minutes long, shows Raja and Sonam arriving at the homestay with a white suitcase and wearing black jackets. The video shows the couple interacting with each other before Raja goes inside to talk to the staff at the registration desk. Sonam is seen taking off her jacket and fixing her hair. Moments later, Raja comes out, takes a few things out of the suitcase, and hands them over to Sonam. The white shirt Sonam is seen wearing in the CCTV footage was later found near Raja's body. Meanwhile, as Sonam's brother Gaurav waits anxiously for news of his sister, he says he's 'relieved' at the MP government decision to seek a CBI probe. Gaurav has been in Shillong for the last few days as the police continue to look for his sister. 'I have been with the police and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) for days now and there is no headway in the case. Even the new CCTV footage we had traced and leaked to the media. The police are not able to crack the case,' Gaurav told The Indian Express. East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem did not respond to calls or messages.

Navis Capital exits Godaco Seafood in management buyout
Malaysia-based investor Navis Capital Partners has exited its entire controlling stake in Vietnam's Godaco Seafood through a management buyout. Founded in 1997 and based in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, Godaco is one of the country's largest exporters of pangasius, or freshwater catfish. Apart from its domestic market, the seafood processor and distributor currently supplies to more than 70 countries and regions, including China, Europe, the Middle East, South America and South East Asia. Navis managing partner Nicholas Bloy said in a statement: 'Godaco has evolved from a medium-sized pangasius processor to a leading and fully integrated seafood company with globally competitive quality and pricing. "Our partnership with the founder and CEO Mr. Dao has been excellent and we wish the entire management team great success as they move into their next chapter of development." Godaco operates an integrated platform encompassing an in-house feed mill, farms, primary and value-added processing plants, and cold storage facilities. The investor added that this type of structure ensures traceability, consistency, and quality, while maintaining globally 'competitive' production costs. Under its guidance, Navis said Godaco made 'strategic investments" in expanding farm operations and its feed capabilities. Furthermore, the PE firm invested in the development of additional primary processing, by-product processing and a cooking facility for the production of ready-to-cook meals. 'These investments catapulted Godaco into one of the leading and fastest-growing seafood companies in Vietnam allowing it to diversify its product mix and to reduce its exposure to the volatile commodity cycle common in the industry,' the firm said. The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) estimates Vietnam's pangasius exports reached more than $2bn in 2024, up 10% from the previous year. Pangasius exports also accounted for 20% of the country's total seafood export value, the trade body said. Looking ahead, VASEP forecasts pangasius exports from Vietnam will grow by 5-10% in 2025, driven by its competitive edge over other whitefish from countries such as Russia and China.

Elizabeth Banks drew on her Pittsfield roots for ‘The Better Sister'
But beyond her role, what drew Banks to this family drama (Prime Video, May 29) mixed with a murder mystery was that the story has an 'operatic' sweep. Or, as this classically trained actor (she has an MFA from the American Conservatory Theatre) put it, this story is a fun, sexy whodunit, but it features 'two sisters who were both married to the same murdered man and a son stuck in the shadow of his father, so it feels Shakespearean.' Heightening that Shakespearean vibe is the fact that the dead guy, Adam, played by Corey Stoll, appears not only in flashbacks but as an apparition to his loved ones. That ambition for a murder mystery makes sense given its provenance. While the series is adapted from Alafair Burke's novel, the show's creators, who added characters and story lines, hail from that most Shakespearean of dramas, ' Advertisement 'There's a quote my pops would often say: 'When the Dao is lost, men begin to speak of good and evil,'' Olivia Milch says. (That's Milchian for when the natural harmony of the universe is disrupted by human behavior, we can go to extremes.) 'The true uncharted middle is the stuff of life: You're trying to be good, but you're bad and hurt people you love, and you're desperate to be seen as your truest self and be able to be loved even when you're a liar and you're broken,' she continues. 'That's at play for all of our characters at all times.' The central characters are Nikki, her too perfect sister, Chloe (Jessica Biel), and Adam, whose murder in the opening moments sparks the excavation of one secret after another, and forces the sisters to reconnect for the first time in years. Corey Stoll in "The Better Sister." Jojo Whilden/Prime 'When I finished reading the scripts they sent me, I wanted more, because I wanted to keep following this crazy twisty story,' Stoll says, adding that while some series are all about the dialogue, what he loved about 'The Better Sister' was that 'a lot of the most interesting things happen between the lines, that a lot of it is what's unsaid.' In flashbacks we learn that years ago, when Nikki was drinking heavily, Adam took away their baby Ethan (played in the present as a teen by Maxwell Acee Donovan) and took away her sister too, marrying Chloe and moving to New York. Advertisement There he became a rags-to-riches attorney working for a sleazy firm headed by Bill Braddock (Matthew Modine), while Chloe became a magazine editor and truth-to-power publishing superstar. Adam's image takes a beating as the show goes on. But Stoll says that while he remains 'clear-eyed' about his character's many foibles and failings, he empathized with him because of how 'he cares about and identifies with his son — he just does it to a fault so he doesn't allow his son to be his own person.' Adam is not a typical villain, nor is he, despite being dead, a typical victim. He's inflicted more than his fair share of damage on everyone in his family, and Chloe and Nikki gradually earn the audience's empathy as the series goes on and they slowly and tentatively reconnect. Kim Dickens and Bobby Naderi in "The Better Sister." Cara Howe/Prime The lead detective on Adam's murder, Nancy Guidry ('Deadwood' alum 'Deirdre O'Connell, who plays Adam's mother, described all the women on the show as 'ferocious hustlers,' which I loved,' Corrado says. Banks says she was encouraged to play her character as 'messy' and strived to add humor (often through sarcasm) to her bitterness. 'Nikki's character is taking the piss out of this world,' Milch adds, 'which is part of the ethos of the show — it's a rarefied world with rich people behaving badly and murder in the Hamptons, but we also wanted to show the class view from the other end, which views all that as b.s.' Advertisement The creators doubled down on that by creating story lines for Guidry and her partner Matt Bowen (Bobby Naderi) that were not in the novel. Corrado says she learned on 'Deadwood' that a good series creates a community that 'feels like a living organism' and that fleshing out even the smallest roles is necessary to keep the story grounded and the stakes high. 'I remember sitting with David and we'd be working on a scene with the leads and he would just go to another one with the supporting roles and I'd think, 'But I was really enjoying that,'' she recalls. 'But he taught me to honor every character and the smaller stories, because they hold everything up.' 'It made the producers very happy,' Milch jokes about their dedication to those details on 'The Better Sister,' to which Corrado adds, 'Do we really need bellhop number two's backstory?' Dickens says 'some of the phrasing and the melody of the lines' remind her of 'Deadwood,' though she's not someone who offers a steady stream of sardonic commentary in real life: 'I don't have that confidence and swagger.' But she says Milch and Corrado know her sense of humor and incorporated that into Guidry. While Guidry and Nikki share similar worldviews, they're instantly wary of each other. 'We're super-obsessed with each other because we mirror each other — we see the other's damage and it irritates us,' Dickens says, which produces spicy antagonistic banter between the two characters, particularly when they run into each other while Nikki is buying a rug. 'That's one of my favorite scenes. It has so many layers and it's on the page, but acting with Elizabeth made it a little more electric.' Advertisement Guidry is a deeply flawed person and detective, Dickens says, adding: 'I tried to carry the weight of her dark past in my boots, and that's part of her bravado, too.' But she believes she's also the 'audience surrogate,' calling out the 'spoiled' behavior of the wealthy and powerful. 'The show doesn't offer commentary, it just holds up a mirror for all of us,' Dickens says.
