Body of abducted HAM(S) neta found
Begusarai: Five days after armed criminals abducted Rakesh Kumar , the HAM(S) party's block president from Sahebpur Kamal in Begusarai, his decomposed body was recovered on Thursday from a field in the Sita Charan Diara area under Munger district. Rakesh's brother, Vivek Kumar, said locals informed Munger Mufassil police station on Thursday morning about a body partially buried in a field. "The body was in a decomposed state. However, upon reaching the spot, we identified it as my brother's," he said. According to Vivek, Rakesh had last been seen on Saturday evening when he was abducted at gunpoint from their home in Sandalpur village by Dablu Yadav and his associates. Dablu Yadav, reportedly operating a criminal gang in the area, has been absconding since the incident. "We had been living in agony about his safety after the abduction, and to our worst fear, we found out today that his body had been discovered," Vivek added. Several police teams from Begusarai had been conducting raids to recover Rakesh and arrest Dablu. The administration had announced a Rs 25,000 reward for any information leading to his recovery. Although Dablu remains at large, police have arrested his wife, Sita Devi, who is also the sarpanch of Sandalpur panchayat, and his mother, Rina Devi. On Wednesday, police obtained court permission to attach Dablu Yadav's property. A reward of Rs 10,000 has also been announced for information leading to the arrest of nine other named accused in the case.

Mizuho Raises Nvidia (NVDA) Price Target to $170 Following Q1 Results, Keeps Buy Rating
On May 29, Mizuho raised its price target on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) from $168 to $170, keeping a Buy rating on the shares. Vijay Rakesh from Mizuho has increased the price target on NVDA following the Q1 print, as the chip maker exceeded revenue estimates. Nvidia reported $44.06 billion in revenue for Q1 2025, surpassing the estimated $43.2 billion mark. The company's Blackwell NVL72AI supercomputer is in mass production as Nvidia continues to grow its AI footprint globally. Nvidia's Blackwell ramp was the highlight this quarter, Rakesh noted. The new architecture now makes up 70% of shipments, indicating robust adoption. Rakesh remains optimistic about Nvidia's growing AI infrastructure presence as the company projects its revenue to be around $45 billion during Q2. The analyst highlights its forecast for the July quarter as 'Better than some concerns,' especially given the drag from ongoing U.S. export limitations to China. The China ban reflects an estimated $8 billion revenue impact in Q1. Rakesh believes that this damage will be 'partially offset' by continued global rollouts of Blackwell. The analyst sees a promising future for Blackwell chips as cloud service providers are installing more than 1,000 Blackwell-based racks per week. Moreover, the upcoming launch of the GB300 Ultra will support this momentum. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a full-stack computing infrastructure company, leading the AI chips market. The company is engaged in accelerated computing to help solve various computational problems. Nvidia operates through two segments: Compute & Networking and Graphics. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NVDA and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock. Read Next: and . Disclosure. None.

Free movement, resettlement will take time, Home Ministry officials tell Meitei civil society groups
The resumption of free movement for all communities along the National Highways in Manipur, and the resettlement of internally displaced people are 'going to take some time', Home Ministry officials told a delegation of Meitei civil society groups at a meeting in the National Capital. The officials 'clearly stated' that this is 'not achievable in a few months or a few weeks', the Meitei groups said in a press conference on Wednesday (May 28, 2025), a day after the meeting. The Federation of Civil Society Organisations (FOCS), an Imphal-based coalition of civil society groups from Manipur's valley regions, met with an MHA team led by North-East Adviser A.K. Mishra on Tuesday afternoon, even as protests broke out in Imphal again related to an alleged cover-up of the word 'Manipur' on a State bus. 'There was a fruitful and constructive discussion on a range of issues with officials of MHA on Tuesday. It was clearly stated by MHA that the issues of opening National Highways, resettlement of the internally displaced persons, these are going to take some time. This is not achievable in a few months or a few weeks.' FOCS consultative member Puyam Rakesh said at the press conference. 'No specific timeline' At a security review meeting on March 1 this year, Home Minister Amit Shah had directed that from March 8, there would be free movement along the highways, which have been blocked since the ethnic violence erupted on May 3, 2023. However, on March 8, amidst attempts to enforce this direction, a 19-year-old man was killed and more than 40 people were injured in Kangpokpi district as Kuki-Zo people clashed with Central armed police forces. Speaking on behalf of the FOCS delegation, Mr. Rakesh alleged that 'the Union government is reluctant to use excessive force to reopen the highway', adding that the MHA officials did not give any 'specific timeline' for when these issues, such as free movement on the highways and resettlement of displaced persons, could be addressed. 'We understand that these issues take time, but we urged for addressing immediate concerns of displaced persons, taking care of their financial needs, taking care of medical needs, and ensuring education for the children,' he said. 'That was the message given to us by the Government of India. We look forward to having more rounds of talks and also intercommunity dialogue with the Kuki-Zo community, which will be very important for restoring normalcy and peace i Manipur,' Mr. Rakesh said. While FOCS has agreed to engage with Kuki-Zo community associations, the delegation from Coordination Committee for Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), another Meitei group which met separately with MHA officials clarified that it will engage 'exclusively with Government of India'. Also read | Bus incident: Manipur group announces civil disobedience 'State is burning again' The FOCS made it a point to note that there have been 'some concrete steps' taken by the administration since the imposition of President's Rule, with a 'successful de-escalation' in the last few months. However, Mr. Rakesh indicated that the situation has been deteriorating again since last week's incident in Gwaltabi, when security forces tried to cover up the word 'Manipur' on a State transport bus that was ferrying journalists to the hill district of Ukhrul for the Shirui Lily festival. The incident has 'hurt the sentiments of the people of Manipur, and the State is now burning again, and women and children are on the streets protesting,' Mr. Rakesh said. 'This [incident] has been perceived, rightly or wrongly, as an attempt to dismember the State of Manipur.' With reports emerging from Imphal that a group of MLAs were meeting with Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Wednesday afternoon in an attempt to stake their claim to form a government in the State, Mr. Rakesh said, 'We welcome a popular government if it has the political will to act in coordination with the Centre to do the needful which can positively change the situation on the ground. But we are not demanding it for the moment.' Gwaltabi incident 'deeply regretted' The ongoing protests in Imphal, which were part of a 'civil disobedience' call given by the COCOMI, displayed banners that said, 'President's Rule must stop insulting Manipur's integrity.' On Wednesday, the Office of the Chief Secretary of Manipur issued a press release, clarifying that there have been 'no instructions whatsoever or even remote thought of covering the name of the State, as has been alleged'. It added that the 'reported untoward incident' is being treated with 'utmost seriousness' and is 'deeply regretted', adding that once the Commission formed by the Governor submits its report, and 'those responsible for the lapses, if any, are identified, strict action would be taken'. 'Evading responsibility' Mr. Rakesh added that the FOCS delegation also raised concerns about 'seasoned politicians' — including Union Ministers Amit Shah, Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Kiren Rijiju — making comments about Manipur having a 'history or tradition' of ethnic conflicts. This was 'sending a message that is normalising the violence' in the State, the FOCS delegate said. 'We see this as getting away from responsibility rather than taking accountability for the problems of the people of Manipur. These narratives are not doing anything good for the people of the State. Such insensitive statements should be avoided,' he said.
