Chennai police induct 11 puppies into Sniffer Dog Squad
The Greater Chennai Police (GCP) have inducted 11 new puppies into its Sniffer Dog Squad. This marks a significant enhancement of the existing capabilities of the dog squad. A formal ceremony was held on Monday (June 9, 2025) at Rajarathinam Stadium, Egmore, to induct and officially name the 11 newly-selected puppies. Additional Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Vijayendra Bidari formally named the puppies. Aged around three months and comprising eight males and three females, the puppies belong to the breeds Labrador, Doberman, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherd, which are known for their exceptional tracking and detection capabilities. The puppies are named: 'Vetri', 'Vikram', 'Nithra', 'Mugilan', 'Silamban', 'Kurali', 'Kaari', 'Gugan', 'Venbha', 'Dheeran', and 'Alexander'. Six of them were assigned to explosives detection, four to narcotic detection, and one to crime case detection.

We have instructed our officials to train them well.' The Sniffer Dog Squad functions through dedicated units at Kilpauk and St. Thomas Mount. The Kilpauk unit currently comprises 16 trained dogs — 11 for explosive detection, three for crime case detection, and two for narcotics detection work. The St. Thomas Mount Unit comprises seven dogs specialised in explosives detection and three in tracking accused involved in murder and robbery cases. Since the beginning of 2024, the dog squad has actively participated in 3,855 deployments, including 3,657 anti-sabotage checks, 137 bomb threat verifications, and 61 crime scene investigations. The induction of the puppies marks a significant step forward in enhancing the operational capabilities of the GCP's dog squad, the police said.

Rajaputhiran Movie Review: Shines in character development, stumbles in narration
In director Mahaa Kandhan's Rajaputhiran, a major plot development is given away in the very first scene, a narrative flaw that undermines the impact of the film. While this presents a challenge, the film boasts many notable positives holding it together. The chief among them is the sparkling camaraderie between Prabhu and Vetri as father and son. Prabhu's character has groomed his son as a 'prince' from a young age, pampering him and never letting him feel the absence of his mother. However, when the boy grows up, he joins a Hawala racket as a money carrier, unbeknownst to his father, a decision that gains him some allies, friends, and many foes. Rajaputhiran's beauty lies in its simplicity, which is especially evident in the interactions between Vetri's and Prabhu's characters and the former and his love interest (Krishnapriya). What drives the love story at the centre of the film is not grand romantic gestures, sweeping promises or dramatic conflicts but rather the pleasantries between the two leads that radiate charm. The allure that emanates from these simple exchanges carries the film's romantic thread gracefully through its runtime. Director: Mahaa Kandhan Cast: Prabhu, Vetri, Krishnapriya, Komal Kumar

Vijay Faces Ultimate Fan Moment As Man Jumps Down From A Tree At His Rally
Last Updated: Actor Vijay was campaigning for his political party in Coimbatore when a fan decided to surprise him by jumping on his car from a tree above! Talk about an unexpected fan moment! Actor Vijay was out campaigning for his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), in Coimbatore on Saturday when he got the shock of his life. While waving to his supporters, a fan decided to take things up a notch by literally jumping down from a tree and landing on Vijay's vehicle! The whole thing was caught on camera, and the videos quickly made their way around the internet. In a video captured by Sun News, Vijay can be seen waving at a massive crowd surrounding his vehicle, eager to meet him. Everything's going smoothly when suddenly, there's a commotion behind him. Vijay turns around just in time to see a fan dramatically jumping down from a tree and landing right on his vehicle. The actor's face says it all as he is in pure shock for a moment. However, he quickly helps the fan up and offers him a scarf in the party's colours. As if that wasn't enough excitement, another fan gets the courage to climb onto the vehicle to meet Vijay, clearly inspired by the first guy's bold move. At this point, Vijay starts heading inside while his security team scrambles to keep the situation under control and prevent any more fans from scaling the vehicle. Vijay, who kicked off his acting career as a child artist in 1984 with Vetri and then took on his first lead role in 1992's Naalaiya Theerpu, was most recently seen in Venkat Prabhu's 2024 film The Greatest of All Time.
