On 17 September 2025, police in Mayiladuthurai district arrested a 28-year-old man, identified as Mohamed Abrith, on charges of spying on a college student and four other women by secretly monitoring their mobile phone activities without their consent.

The accused, a resident of Agaravallam village near Perambur, worked at a browsing centre near the Old Bus Stand in Mayiladuthurai. According to police reports, a first-year college student from a nearby village visited the browsing centre on 10 September to register for a passport. Abrith allegedly told her to install a widely known parental control application on her phone, falsely claiming it was required for the passport registration process.

Unbeknownst to her, Abrith used the app’s screen mirroring and surveillance features to monitor her phone remotely. He gained unauthorized access to her photo gallery, WhatsApp messages, and even activated her phone’s camera to track her daily movements. The student grew suspicious after noticing unusual notifications and rapid battery drainage. Concerned, she informed her parents, who promptly filed a complaint with the local police.

Sub-Inspector C. Arun Kumar from the cybercrime unit led the investigation, which confirmed that Abrith had been digitally stalking the student. He was arrested by a police team on 17 September.

Further inquiry revealed that Abrith had similarly spied on four other women who had visited the browsing centre for unrelated services. He was later produced before a judicial magistrate and placed in judicial custody.

Mayiladuthurai Superintendent of Police G. Stalin urged the public to be cautious about installing unfamiliar apps and warned against sharing personal devices in public browsing centres. He emphasized the importance of digital awareness and vigilance to prevent such violations of privacy.

“I’ve Been To Pakistan And I Feel At Home”: Rahul Gandhi’s Motormouth Aide Sam Pitroda Expresses Love For Islamist Terror State Pakistan

Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda is back in the spotlight with his latest remarks about India’s neighbours.

On 19 September 2025, Pitroda called for India’s foreign policy to prioritise relationships with neighbouring countries, saying he “felt at home” during visits to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

“Our foreign policy, according to me, must first focus on our neighbourhood. Can we really substantially improve relationships with our neighbours? They are all small, they all need help, they are all going through difficult times, and there is no need to fight. Of course, there is a problem of violence, terrorism, all that is there. But at the end of the day, in that neighourhood, there is common gene pool. I’ve been to Pakistan, and I must tell you; I felt at home. I’ve been to Bangladesh, I’ve been to Nepal, and I feel at home. I don’t feel like I’m in a foreign country. They look me, they talk like me, they like my songs, they eat my food. So I must learn to live with them in peace and harmony, that is my first priority.” Pitroda said.

Can we really substantially improve relationships with our neighbours?… I’ve been to Pakistan, and I must tell you, I felt at home. I’ve been to… pic.twitter.com/DINq138mvW

Pitroda’s statement adds to a growing catalogue of his controversial interventions on India’s foreign policy matters, which the BJP has repeatedly cited to question the Congress party’s stance on national security.

This is not the first time Sam Pitroda has been at the centre of a political row. Earlier in February, when ties with China were still strained, he sparked controversy after suggesting that India exaggerates the threat from China. Speaking in an interview to IANS, he argued that New Delhi should stop treating Beijing as an enemy and instead adopt a collaborative approach.

“I don’t understand the threat from China. I think this issue is often blown out of proportion because the US has a tendency to define an enemy. I believe the time has come for all nations to collaborate, not confront. Our approach has been confrontational from the very beginning, and this attitude creates enemies, which in turn garners support within the country. We need to change this mindset and stop assuming that China is the enemy from day one,” Pitroda had said.

In 2024, he made racist remarks about Indians and said, “We could hold a country together as diverse as India where people on the East look like Chinese, people on the West look like Arab, people on the North look like maybe White and people in the South look like Africa. Doesn’t matter. 

In May 2019, Sam Pitroda faced backlash for his dismissive response, “hua toh hua” (“so what”), when questioned about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots although he later apologized. He deflected attention to the current government’s failures, avoiding accountability for the tragic events of 1984.

Complaint Filed Against Sivaganga Govt Hostel Warden For Allegedly Forcing Students To Read Bible

sivaganga warden bible

In a controversial and alarming incident, a formal complaint has been lodged against the warden of a government girls’ hostel in Kalayarkoil, Sivaganga district, accusing her of coercing students into reading the Bible and attempting to convert them to Christianity.

The hostel, located opposite the Kalaiyarkoil Government Teachers Training Institute, houses 68 female students from classes 6 to 12. The warden in question, identified as Lakshmi from Karaikudi, has come under scrutiny following allegations raised by a concerned parent.

Manimekalai, a resident of Maruthanganallur and the mother of one of the students, submitted a complaint to District Collector P. Porkodi. In her statement, she alleged that Lakshmi was pressuring her daughter and other students to read the Bible daily and participate in religious worship services, claiming it amounted to an attempt at religious conversion. She further complained about poor living conditions, stating that meals were being prepared with spoiled vegetables.

“My daughter is being forced to take part in Bible readings and worship sessions. The hostel food is also being made with rotten vegetables. I’ve brought this to the collector’s attention,” Manimekalai stated in her complaint.

Responding to the allegations, warden Lakshmi clarified, “During quarterly and half-yearly examinations, students were encouraged to sing hymns and read the Bible for moral support. After receiving the complaint, we immediately stopped the practice. I have already submitted a written explanation to the District Adi Dravidar Welfare Office.”

The matter is currently under review by district authorities, and further action is expected following the investigation.

“Cannot Be Shown Leniency Because Of His Celebrity Status”, Gujarat High Court Declares TMC MP Yusuf Pathan An Encroacher, Orders Him To Vacate Vadodara Govt Plot

"Cannot Be Shown Leniency Because Of His Celebrity Status", Gujarat High Court Declares TMC MP Yusuf Pathan An Encroacher, Orders Him To Vacate Vadodara Govt Plot

The Gujarat High Court has declared former India cricketer and Trinamool Congress MP Yusuf Pathan an encroacher on government land in Vadodara, directing civic authorities to remove the encroachment. The single-judge bench of Justice Mona Bhatt issued the ruling last month, rejecting Pathan’s petition to retain control of a disputed plot adjacent to his bungalow in Vadodara’s Tandalja area.

The court stressed that celebrities cannot be above the law and exempting them sets a wrong precedent. “Just because of his celebrity status, Pathan cannot be shown any leniency. She also stated that granting any kind of leniency to Pathan will send a wrong message to the society,” the judgment said.

Citing Supreme Court principles, the court observed: “As a national representative and public figure, Pathan’s responsibility to follow the law is greater. Celebrities, due to their fame and public presence, have a profound impact on public behaviour and societal values. Granting concessions to such individuals despite flouting the law sends a wrong message to society and undermines public trust in the judicial system.”

The dispute dates back to 2012, when the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) issued a notice to Pathan asking him to vacate government land he had occupied since that year. Pathan had approached the VMC in 2012 seeking to purchase the open residential plot at market price, citing “security concerns for himself and his family as an international cricketer.”

In his petition, Pathan stated that he and his brother, former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan, should be permitted to purchase the land to ensure their family’s safety. “He also requested permission from the state chief minister to buy the plot on the grounds that he and his brother Irfan Pathan are both internationally renowned sports personalities and, considering their family’s security, the plot should be allotted to them,” the petition said.

The municipal authorities evaluated the request and forwarded it to the state government, which rejected the proposal in 2014. Despite the rejection, Pathan continued to occupy the property.

In 2024, after Pathan won the Lok Sabha election from Baharampur in West Bengal, the matter resurfaced and the VMC again issued a notice asking him to vacate the land. Pathan challenged this notice in the Gujarat High Court, but the bench found him to be in unauthorised possession.

Justice Bhatt’s order has now directed the civic body to act against the encroachment and ensure the property is vacated in accordance with law.

Poster Of 'Ajey: The Untold Story Of A Yogi' Film Vandalised Outside Chennai Theatre

A poster of the film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi, that releases on 19 September 2025 based on the life of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, was vandalised earlier this week outside the historic Woodlands Theatre in Chennai.

Eyewitnesses reported that two unidentified individuals were seen defacing the promotional material displayed outside the theatre. The incident has not yet been reported by mainstream media outlets but has drawn attention on social media, where users shared visuals of the damaged poster and condemned the act.

The film, inspired by Shantanu Gupta’s book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, stars Anant Joshi in the lead role. It traces Adityanath’s journey from a boy in Uttarakhand to a Hindu monk and later the Chief Minister of India’s most populous state.

The movie had earlier faced restrictions abroad, with reports of a ban in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Many on social media have accused the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government in Tamil Nadu of fostering an environment of intolerance towards Hindi and Hindu culture, allegations that the state government has denied in the past regarding similar incidents.

The Chennai Police have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident or confirmed if a formal complaint has been registered.

“Victims Still Waiting”: Calcutta High Court Raps Mamata Banerjee Govt Over Delay In Compensation For Murshidabad Violence

calcutta high court mamata banerjee murshidabad

On 17 September 2025, the Calcutta High Court sharply criticized the West Bengal government for its delay in providing compensation to Hindu families affected by the recent anti-Hindu violence in Murshidabad. The unrest, sparked by protests against the Waqf Amendment Bill, caused significant damage, with homes destroyed, businesses looted, and communities left in distress.

During the hearing, the bench expressed deep concern over the slow response to the crisis, highlighting that many Hindu families are still waiting for support months after the violence. Despite widespread destruction, including burned houses and looted shops, the court noted that victims have not yet received meaningful compensation or assistance for their rehabilitation.

The judges demanded that the state government provide a clear timeline for disbursing compensation and a detailed rehabilitation plan for the affected Hindu families. They warned that the continued delay in providing relief could exacerbate the suffering of victims and heighten communal tensions in the already volatile Murshidabad region.

Legal experts have emphasized that the court’s intervention underscores the judiciary’s commitment to safeguarding the rights of communities impacted by targeted violence. The bench reminded the government of its duty to protect the welfare and safety of all citizens, asserting that victims of communal violence should not be left waiting for bureaucratic processes to unfold.

Eyewitness reports and local accounts from Murshidabad paint a troubling picture of the aftermath. Many Hindu families were displaced, with some seeking shelter in relief camps, while others struggled to rebuild their lives without adequate government assistance. The court’s directive is expected to expedite the distribution of compensation and bring relief to these communities.

This action by the Calcutta High Court sends a strong message to the West Bengal government that communal violence, particularly when it targets vulnerable Hindu communities, must be addressed swiftly and effectively. Authorities have been ordered to present a practical plan for immediate compensation and long-term measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The violence in Murshidabad, coupled with the court’s decisive stance, has reignited debates on communal harmony, the accountability of the government, and the protection of minority groups in West Bengal, highlighting the pressing need for preventive actions to avert further unrest.

“More Than Sacred”: DMK Stooge Kamal Haasan On MNM–DMK Alliance Ahead Of 2026 Assembly Polls

kamal haasan dmk stalin rajya sabha mnm karur stampede

Kamal Haasan, the leader of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), and now Rajya Sabha MP backed by the DMK, has emphasized that his party’s alliance with the DMK is not just a political partnership but something “more than sacred.” During an advisory meeting on Tamil Nadu and Puducherry’s upcoming assembly elections, which is being held from 18 September to the 21 September 2025 at Raja Annamalaipuram, Chennai, Haasan consulted with district administrators from Chennai on 18 September 2025. In the evening, he continued his discussions with administrators from Kanchipuram and the party’s local branches.

In the coming days, Kamal Haasan will hold consultations in various regions: Coimbatore tomorrow morning, Madurai in the evening, Nellai and Trichy the day after, and finally in Villupuram, Salem, and Puducherry on the 21st. These meetings will involve the party’s state administrators, branch leaders, and MPs, all of whom will meet Haasan to discuss MNM’s strategies and preparations for the elections.

When asked about the popularity of MNM, sources say Kamal Haasan is actively gathering input from the party’s leaders about which constituencies they can contest in the upcoming assembly elections. He is also focusing on strengthening the party’s foundation and improving its organizational structure.

Speaking to the party’s administrators, Haasan stated, “I am not the living Kamaraj. My real name is Parthasarathy.” He went on to quote poet Bharathi, who had advocated for a society without caste divisions and suggested conducting a caste-based census. Haasan also expressed his belief that politics should avoid exploitation and should focus on nationalism.

Haasan further elaborated that leaders should emerge from within the party after him, stressing the importance of continuity. “Some say we’ve joined the DMK, but the DMK itself originated from the Justice Party, and our party’s name also reflects justice. This is not just an alliance, it is something more than sacred,” he remarked. According to Haasan, MNM is the only centrist party in Asia, and the country should avoid being divided into rigid left and right ideologies.

MNM, launched in 2018 as an alternative to the two dominant Dravidian parties, has yet to secure a significant electoral victory. In the 2021 Assembly elections, Haasan contested from Coimbatore South but narrowly lost to the BJP’s Vanathi Srinivasan.

Sources within the party told NDTV that the current focus is on identifying constituencies where MNM can have a stronger presence, based on the 2021 results. They are working to consolidate support in areas where the party already has a base. “We are strategizing to strengthen our position and expand our presence on the ground,” said a party functionary.

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Haasan announced an alliance with the DMK, calling it crucial to counter the BJP. In recognition of this partnership, the DMK facilitated Haasan’s entry into the Rajya Sabha. These ongoing consultations are seen as essential for MNM as it seeks a meaningful role in the alliance, particularly in the party’s first assembly election as a partner in the ruling front.

nepal gen z protest social media ban insurance gen-z

The destruction of properties during the recent Gen-Z protests in Nepal has triggered the largest-ever insurance claims in Nepal’s history from a single incident, with claims reaching close to NPR 21 billion to date.

According to data released by the Nepal Insurance Authority, the regulator of the insurance sector, on Thursday, non-life insurers have received 1,984 claims from insured individuals with claims of NPR 20.7 billion by September 16, which is a record high for damages in a single incident.

With assessments of losses being undergone, the claims are expected to rise further. The claims received by insurers so far is more than the claims during the 2015 earthquake, when claims had reached NPR 16.5 billion. Nepal had also launched an insurance scheme in 2020 to cover the risk of COVID-19, and insurers had received claims exceeding NPR 16 billion, according to the regulator.

The Oriental Insurance Company Limited, a branch of India’s Oriental Insurance, has received the largest amount of claims till September 16, according to the data released by the authority. The company alone has received claims of NPR 5.14 billion across 40 cases.

The bulk of this is said to have come from Hotel Hilton Kathmandu, which suffered one of the heaviest losses during the protests. Siddhartha Premier Insurance and Shikhar Insurance, IGI Prudential Insurance, Sagarmatha Lumbini and Company come into the top five positions in terms of receiving the highest amount of claims.

Some of the major business enterprises alone have reported damages worth over NPR 60 billion, according to an official of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), a business body, which is collecting details of damages to the properties of the private sector.

The latest protests saw major properties gutted by fire, including the Hilton Kathmandu Hotel, several outlets of Bhat-Bhateni Supermarket, the largest retail chain of Nepal, the headquarters of Ncell, the private sector telecommunication company, an assembly plant and vehicle showroom of Chaudhary Group, owned by Binod Chaudhary, Nepal’s only billionaire listed by Forbes, among others.

“Zero Tolerance”: Himanta Biswa Sarma Says 20 Bangladeshi Nationals Pushed Back From Assam Border

Consumption Of Beef Banned In Public Places In Assam. himanta biswa sarma bangladeshi illegal

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that the security forces have pushed back at least 20 Bangladeshi citizens for illegally crossing the international border to enter the Indian territory.

Taking to X handle, CM Sarma wrote: “Pushed back another set of 20 habitual offenders back to their base in Bangladesh. Our tolerance level to illegal immigrants is ZERO and will continue to be as such.” The state government has taken a strong stand against infiltration from Bangladesh with CM Sarma often issues warning for a looming threat of changing demography in Assam.

He accused the previous Congress governments of providing shelter to Bangladeshi infiltrators and the Chief Minister claimed that Bangladeshi infiltrators have been occupying the land of indigenous people. CM Sarma earlier also asserted that although some of the Bangladeshi infiltrators managed to get Aadhaar cards, they cannot enroll themselves in the voter list.

He said that there is no chance that people cross illegally the international border from Bangladesh and get themselves enrolled in the voter list in Assam because security forces have caught many people who illegally entered Indian territory, and they were pushed back within a few hours.

“Most of the infiltrators were arrested in the morning around 5 a.m., and before 9 a.m. in the morning, they were pushed back to the neighbouring country. In two or three hours, they cannot register themselves in the voter list.”

However, the Chief Minister sees no harm in remaining doubly vigilant in this matter. “We have decided to take a slew of measures against the detection of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh because there might have been possibilities that a few infiltrators could not be arrested by the security personnel,” he added.

The Chief Minister argued that people from Bangladesh come to India as poverty has increased in the neighbouring country after the recent unrest following the departure of the Sheikh Hasina government there. He also claimed that, contrary to conventional apprehension, mainly people who belong to the Muslim community have been trying to cross the border and enter India illegally for the sake of jobs.

“Rahul Gandhi Came To Save Infiltrators, Not Bihar’s Youth”, Says Union Home Minister Amit Shah

After Haryana Poll Win, Amit Shah Hits Out At Rahul Gandhi For Tarnishing India's Image Abroad

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on Thursday, launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recently concluded Voter Adhikar Yatra and termed it as an infiltrator saving campaign.

“Rahul Gandhi did not come to Bihar on a Voter Adhikar Yatra but on a ‘Save the Infiltrators Yatra’. His tour was not about education, jobs, electricity, or roads for Bihar, but about protecting infiltrators from Bangladesh. It was nothing less than an Infiltrator Rescue Tour,” Union Minister Shah said while addressing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers at Dehri in Bihar’s Rohtas district.

The Union Minister asked BJP workers to take this message to the people. “Should infiltrators get the right to vote? Should they get free ration, jobs, housing, and Ayushman Bharat medical treatment worth Rs 5 lakh while our country’s youth are left behind?” he asked. Accusing the Opposition of misleading people, Union Minister Shah said, “Rahul Gandhi and company are giving jobs to vote-bank infiltrators instead of our youth. If their (Opposition-led) government is formed by mistake, infiltrators will spread everywhere in Bihar.”

He added that the BJP would never allow the SC/ST/OBC reservation system to be dismantled, saying, “As long as even one BJP MP is in Parliament, reservations will remain protected.” He also praised the Prime Minister’s dedication, noting that Narendra Modi has served as the Chief Minister and Prime Minister for 24 years without taking a single day’s leave.

In an indirect swipe at Rahul Gandhi, he added, “Some leaders cannot sleep if they don’t go abroad every six months. But PM Modi always put the country first, then the party, then the party workers — never his family.” Union Minister Shah also responded to Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, who had recently questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s work.

“Lalu Prasad Yadav asked what PM Modi has done so far. I want to remind him — between 2004 and 2014, when he was a Union Minister, Bihar received Rs 2.8 lakh crore from the Centre. But from 2014 to 2024, under PM Modi, Bihar has received Rs 9.85 lakh crore,” he said. Admitting that the BJP had underperformed in the Magadh and Shahabad regions in the 2020 Assembly election, Union Minister Shah urged his party workers to ensure a strong poll performance this time.

“We must ensure NDA’s victory in more than 80 per cent of seats here. All workers should pledge that 80 per cent of these seats go to the BJP,” he said. Union Minister Shah addressed BJP workers from Bihar’s Shahabad and Magadh regions in Dehri, where he hailed the achievements of the Narendra Modi government.

“Could you have imagined that a Ram temple would be built in Ayodhya in 11 years? But PM Modi laid the foundation stone and consecrated it with the chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’. He abolished Article 370, ended triple talaq, introduced the CAA, carried out surgical strikes, air strikes, and Operation Sindoor to destroy terrorists inside Pakistan. He even sent a spacecraft to the Moon’s South Pole and named it ‘Shiv Shakti Point’,” he said.

The Union Home Minister highlighted India’s rise on the global stage, claiming that the Indian economy has grown from 11th to fourth position under PM Modi’s leadership. He also announced that a Sita Mata temple worth Rs 800 crore is being built in Sitamarhi.

“By reducing GST rates, the burden on the kitchens of mothers and sisters has been reduced by 20 per cent. Bihar’s poor have benefited the most, with 81 crore people across India receiving free ration,” he added. Listing the NDA government’s welfare measures, Union Minister Shah said, “As many as 56 crore bank accounts were opened for the poor, 42 crore beneficiaries under Ayushman Bharat, 15 crore households provided tap water, 12 crore homes built toilets, 10 crore homes given gas connections, four crore families given housing, and 1.5 crore citizens became millionaires through entrepreneurship and support schemes.”

He predicted a massive victory for the NDA in the upcoming Assembly polls in Bihar, saying, “This time our majority will be such that the Opposition will be completely marginalised. Tejashwi Yadav will not even dare to contest the next Assembly election.” Directly targeting RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Union Minister Shah said, “A government of ransom, kidnapping, and murder can never bring prosperity. Bihar needs a government under Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar. Only this double-engine government can ensure development.”

The programme was also attended by Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, State BJP President Dilip Jaiswal, Ministers Santosh Singh and Prem Kumar, party in-charge Bhikubhai Dalsaniya, former MP Gopal Narayan Singh, and MLC Nivedita Singh, among others.
