Thiruvananthapuram: Karamana police on Wednesday registered a case against two women who cheated a private finance firm of Rs 30 lakh.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The women were reportedly sisters and were identified as Suni and Sumi of Pappanamcode. The complainant Sanooj, 26, runs a private finance firm at Kattakada. The women approached him, stating that they pledged 420g of gold at the Bank of India branch at Kaimanam and also at a private firm opposite the bank. They promised him that the gold would be pledged at his firm if he helped them to release it from the bank. "I sent my staff to the bank along with the women to release the gold and Rs 30 lakh was given to them at the bank for this. After some time, the women claimed that the gold was released and that they also wanted to release some more gold pawned at another finance firm opposite the bank. However, soon after that, the women went missing. During inquiry, the bank staff claimed that the women did not pledge any gold at the bank," said Sanooj. He soon approached Karamana police with a complaint. "The women have earlier pledged gold at my firm and the identity proof showed that they belong to Pappanamcode. However, when we reached there, the house was locked," Sanooj added. Karamana police intensified the search for the women after registering a case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 316 (2) for criminal breach of trust and 318 (2) for cheating. The women were allegedly involved in similar cheating cases before as well, police said.

How Astronauts Suni Williams & Butch Wilmore's Mission Went Awry
Originally appeared on E! Online Back in June, NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore blasted off into space for what was supposed to be an eight-day stay at the International Space Station. However, the Boeing Starliner capsule they rode on for its first crewed test flight experienced thruster failures and helium leaks following takeoff. And while they were able to dock safely, the game plan surrounding their return to Earth suddenly shifted. Now, after being in space for 286 days, more than nine months, the veteran astronauts are finally home. Upon their splashdown in the Gulf of America March 18, Suni, 59, and Butch, 62—as well as fellow astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—were carried out of a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on stretchers and sent to Houston to undergo health checks for several days. While the two have not spoken out since then, they duo emphasized that despite their prolonged stay in space—the sixth-longest in NASA's history—they had been faring well up at the ISS. He continued, "This is not an easy business that we're taking part in. It is very difficult. Human spaceflight is tough and sometimes you run into situations that are unexpected and we found ourself in one." During their time aboard the orbiting space station, the pair continued to work as usual, conducting scientific experiments and maintenance tasks alongside several U.S. and Russian colleagues. And they made the most of their prolonged stay. "Having been up here for a while, you get a little bit more time to enjoy the view out the window," said Suni, 59. "You get a little more time to adapt to space. You get a little more time to actually talk to people on the ground." When she and Butch returned to Earth, they were greeted by not just humans. A pod of dolphins emerged and swam playfully around their spacecraft. Read on for more about Suni and Butch's space journey... More from E!

It's wonderful enjoyment. It's fun. It's been trying at times, no doubt," Butch said on the March 14 episode of New York Times podcast The Daily, five days before he and Suni would return to Earth. "But 'stranded?' No. 'Stuck?' No. 'Abandoned?' No." He continued, "This is not an easy business that we're taking part in. It is very difficult.

Suni Lee Floats Retirement After China's Yang Beats Her To Performing Original Skill
US' Sunisa Lee competes in the floor exercise event of the artistic gymnastics women's all around ... More final during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Bercy Arena in Paris, on August 1, 2024. (Photo by Loic VENANCE / AFP) (Photo by LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images) Olympic Champion Suni Lee hinted at retirement on Thursday. The six-time Olympic medalist took to X to react after learning of breaking news out of Antalya, Turkey. China's Yang Fanyuwei became the first gymnast to successfully land one of the most challenging skills in gymnastics: a full-twisting Jaeger on the uneven bars. In a video seen here, Yang caught the skill in Antalya's qualification round on Thursday. In order for an athlete to 'own' a skill in the FIG Code of Points (COP), the athlete must be the first to perform said-skill in a major international competition. With Yang's successful attempt today, the skill will now take her name in the official COP. However, roughly a year earlier, many hoped the same skill would be named 'The Lee"– including Suni Lee herself. In 2024, Lee arrived at the U.S. Winter Cup with her biggest trick: the now-infamous full-twisting Jaeger. 'I'm just excited because I think it'll be pretty cool having the skill being named,' Lee told in an interview just prior to the Winter Cup. Her Coach, Jess Graba, emphasized the emotional value of the skill for Suni. 'The whole reason we're doing Winter Cup is so that we can go to Baku and get the skill named." "Suni really wants to get that out of the way," he added. Unfortunately, Lee fell on the skill in competition. Despite multiple promising routines in the practice sessions, Lee's low score of 11.800 was not enough to send the Olympic Champion to Azerbaijan. Suni's 'Lee' would have to wait. While the Olympics were on her mind, Lee was still devastated. In a TikTok comment posted in February 2025, Lee would later reveal that she 'begged' USA Gymnastics to send her to Baku, adding that she 'offered to pay' for her own travel expenses. Nonetheless, Lee and her training team had to refocus on their primary goal: Paris. Though their goal was successful and Lee left Paris with another trio of medals, she opted to compete an uneven bars routine devoid of 'The Lee.' With the skill still unnamed and unclaimed through the end of 2024, fans hoped Suni would eventually stage a comeback to avenge her skill. However, with Yang's performance in Turkey, the gymnastics community's hope for a comeback is dwindling. Shortly after Yang's successful attempt was made public, Suni engaged with online users to share her disappointment. 'I'm crying,' Lee commented, responding to a post expressing empathy for Lee. 'Does this kill Suni's chances of coming back?" One fan asked. 'yes,' responded Lee. Though not an official statement, the posts indicate an apparent preference for closing her chapter with competitive gymnastics. Lee currently ranks as the fourth most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time and remains the only Asian gymnast to become Olympic All-Around Champion. Regardless of her decision moving forward, the Olympic legend's legacy is undeniable.
