Mob assaults Muslim men in UP's Etah; attacks police station after cops refuse to hand over rescued victims
ETAH: An angry mob attacked two Muslim men accusing them of theft, and later caused a ruckus at a police station where the victims were taken after being rescued, officials said on Saturday. The incident occurred in the Nayagaon police station area late on Friday night. Fahim, one of the two attacked by the mob, said he and his relative Firoz were returning from a 'Chehlum' procession when a group of men stopped them. They were mistaken for thieves and beaten with sticks, he said. "We kept telling them we were not thieves but the mob didn't listen to us," he added. A patrolling team arrived at the scene, rescued the two men, and took them to the police station.

"Can't Continue The Way I Used To": Popular Food Vlogger Steps Away From Long-Form YouTube Videos
Firoz Chuttipara, the face behind Kerala's popular Village Food Channel, has said that he will no longer be making long-format YouTube videos that first brought him fame. Known for his massive cooking projects, like preparing hundreds of kilos of biryani or seafood pickle, Chuttipara's unique blend of tradition, scale and social impact earned him a huge following among food lovers in India and beyond. The Palakkad native, who returned to Kerala after working abroad, turned to YouTube with a vision. It was to cook grand meals, often for underprivileged communities, and show the process from scratch. But in a recent YouTube Live session, Firoz shared that the economics of creating such large-scale content no longer add up. 'I can't continue with YouTube the way I used to,' he said, as quoted by News18. With audiences increasingly turning to shorter videos, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, Firoz said that the shift in viewer behaviour has made long-form content financially unsustainable for creators like him. The limited earnings from short videos are not enough to offset the significant expenses involved in sourcing ingredients and handling large-scale production. Having said that, he clarified that while long videos will now be rare, short updates will continue to appear on his channel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VILLAGE FOOD CHANNEL (@villagefoodchannel_official) Looking ahead, Firoz has decided to channel his energy into a new business venture with a friend. Although he has kept the details under wraps, he said that the venture will be based in the UAE and will require much of his time and attention going forward. Firoz's journey, from expatriate to one of Kerala's most recognised culinary YouTubers, has been remarkable. While fans may miss the epic cooking sessions that made him famous, many remain eager to see how his next chapter unfolds, whether in business or short-form food content.

Woman alleges AR constable cheated her, files plaint
Puttaparthi: Tension prevailed at the Sri Sathya Sai District Collectorate after a woman from Vijayawada accused a police constable of cheating her and sought justice during the PGRS (Public Grievance Redressal System) hearing. According to the complainant, the accused, Firoz, who is currently serving as a Head Constable in the Armed Reserve (AR) wing at the District Police Office, allegedly deceived and exploited her during his duty visit to Vijayawada. The woman claimed she had approached senior police officials multiple times in the past, but no action was taken against the constable, leaving her distressed and unheard. As she arrived at the Collectorate to submit her complaint, the woman was initially stopped by security personnel. However, she insisted on raising her voice publicly, demanding strict action against the constable. Her emotional outburst and verbal confrontation with police officers at the venue created a brief commotion in the premises. She questioned why she had to remain silent when she was the victim of deception and firmly demanded justice. Despite being asked to leave the area due to the disturbance, she managed to formally submit her grievance to the District Revenue Officer (DRO) under the PGRS system. The incident sparked discussion among those present at the Collectorate, drawing attention to the seriousness of the allegations. Authorities have yet to issue an official response regarding the complaint.

Mortal remains of Shaikh to arrive today
Pune: The mortal remains of Irfan Shaikh , the 22-year-old crew member who tragically died aboard Air India flight 171 after it crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, will arrive in Pune on Saturday. Family members confirmed that Irfan's DNA matched with his father's samples, and hospital authorities in Ahmedabad are expected to hand over the body late on Friday. Irfan's uncle, Firoz, informed TOI that the flight carrying the remains is scheduled to depart Ahmedabad around 5.40am and is expected to reach Pune by 7am. His last rites will be performed at Nehrunagar in Pimpri around 9am. "Initially, the DNA samples of Irfan's brother Amir were taken, but we did not receive any updates," Firoz said. "Yesterday (on Thursday), health officials collected samples from his father, Samir, and we were informed on Friday that the samples matched. The hospital will complete the handover procedure by late tonight." A resident of Sant Tukaram Nagar in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Irfan joined the aviation industry two years ago after completing a cabin crew training course at a private institute in Pune. He began his career with Air Vistara, working on domestic routes, and following the airline's merger with Air India, he was deployed on international flights. Irfan's father, Samir, runs a small shop at Sant Tukaram Nagar, while his mother is a homemaker. His elder brother, Amir, works in the IT sector. The tragic crash claimed the lives of 241 out of 242 people on board. As many as 29 MBBS students of BJ Medical College also died in the accident when the plane struck the hostel complex. The plane's black box, which includes the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder, was found on the rooftop of the mess building in the medical college campus.
