Budge Budge woman speaking in Bengali grilled by Mum cops
1 2 Kolkata: A 39-year-old Budge Budge woman speaking with her elder son in Bengali while returning from work in Navi Mumbai was taken to a local police station for questioning on being suspected to be Bangladeshi. The Budge Budge police station quickly conducted a background verification check and informed their Mumbai counterparts, leading to her release. The victim, Soma Bibi (39), said the incident took place around 8 pm on Aug 7. While returning home from the mall she works at, Soma was speaking to her elder son in Budge Budge over phone. A woman in plain clothes allegedly stopped her, asked where she lived, what she did, and demanded to see her identity documents. Despite showing multiple IDs, the woman was reportedly unsatisfied and took Soma to the police station. Soma said she refused to enter the lock-up, telling officers, "I have committed no crime. Please give me time, I will produce all documents." The hapless family in Budge Budge also approached the office of Trinamool national secretary Abhishek Banerjee, also the local MP. His office coordinated with police, the family said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Donomulyo: Unsold Sofas May Be at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Soma was released around 10.30 pm on Aug 8 after Budge Budge police intervened.

The Strokes announce short 2025 tour. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Strokes are getting their reps in. Ahead of their two weekends of headlining gigs at the 2025 Austin City Limits Festival, Julian Casablancas and co. are teaming up for a pair of 'warm-up' concerts. These shows will take place at Las Vegas' Cosmopolitan on Saturday, Sept. 27 and El Paso's Abraham Chavez Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Special guests have been teased for both shows; at the time of publication, they have yet to be announced. This quick flurry of concerts will be the first for the garage rockers since March 2024 when they performed a one-off at Chicago's Credit Union 1 Arena to support U.S. Representative Kina Collins. That night, the scuzzy, fuzzy quintet delivered a 16-song set according to Set List FM. Highlights included fan favorites like 'Is This It,' 'New York City Cops,' 'Soma,' 'Someday' and 'Reptilia' as well as the band's sublime, under-appreciated gem 'Call It Fate, Call It Karma.' 'Most of the members focus on delivering a tight sound, resulting in them standing still on stage while lead singer Julian walks and dances around, waiting for his verses,' Prowl Radio wrote in a review of the show. '…in regular fashion, Julian had a ball on stage, rambling and joking around between songs, delivering unhinged remarks such as 'Where is my elixir? My steroid juice!' with maniacal laughter as he drank and also yelled, 'People of Chicago… REPENT!'' Over the last year, Casablancas, 46, has spent time fronting his side-group, The Voidz. On July 30, they released a four-song EP titled 'Męġż of Råm,' that sounds wholly unlike The Strokes but is an acquired taste worth trying; we can't get enough of the experimental half laid-back/half metal auto-tune aesthetic the group has cultivated. Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Strokes shows and festival appearances on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the two one-off shows is Friday, Aug. 8. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. The Strokes tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar of all concert and festival dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. Austin City Limits Festival 2025 The payoff to the short tour goes down in Austin on Oct. 3-5 and Oct. 10-12. Both weekends, the 'Reptilia' rockers will be joined by big names like Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Cage The Elephant, Doechii and Rilo Kiley. Personally, we're most excited to see Dr. Dog but that might just be us. If you'd like to attend, single and multi-day Austin City Limits passes can be found here. The Strokes set list Last March, The Strokes performed in Chicago. Here's what they took to the stage at that gig, according to Set List FM: 01.) 'Selfless' 02.) 'Hard to Explain' 03.) 'You Talk Way Too Much' (First time live since 2015) 04.) 'The Adults Are Talking' 05.) 'Take It or Leave It' 06.) 'Drag Queen' (First time live since 2017) 07.) 'Bad Decisions' 08.) 'The Way It Is' (First time live since 2019) 09.) 'Last Nite' 10.) 'Juicebox' 11.) 'Is This It' 12.) 'New York City Cops' Encore 13.) 'Call It Fate, Call It Karma' (With extended outro of Julian singing bits of 'Riders on the Storm' by the Doors) 14.) 'Soma' 15.) 'Someday' Encore II 16.) 'Reptilia' Julian Casablancas new music On July 30, Casablancas' The Voidz unveiled the four-song EP 'Męġż of Råm.' It's a weird, unbridled, pure artistic expression. Tight harmonies, lush soundscapes and bizarre yet beautiful vocal choices by Jules make for a fascinating listening experience that we can't help but revisit over and over. Although we love The Strokes wholeheartedly, this side project diversion allows Casablancas to let his freak flag fly in a way his OG band never would. In the event, you'd like to listen we recommend starting with the paranoid anthem 'Blue Demon.' The almost four-minute bop is like a cursed 8-bit video game soundtrack that somehow makes you want to get up and shake it. We're also partial to the creepy yet tranquil 'Russian Coney Island,' chilled-out fantasy 'Unholy Lover' and almost ambient fever dream 'Drifto.' Want to hear? You can find 'Męġż of Råm' here. Huge artists on tour in 2025 Not in Vegas or Texas? No worries. Here are just five of our favorite gritty rockers with Strokes-like sensibilities you won't want to miss live these next few months when they come to a venue near you. • Death Cab For Cutie • Pixies • Oasis • Vampire Weekend • Nine Inch Nails Who else is out and about?
