admin 0

A 27-year-old model allegedly fatally shot her husband before taking her own life inside their luxury home in Florida, US. According to the New York Post, the incident occurred on Wednesday at 12:30am. Cops responded to a report of multiple shots fired at the Beach Club II Hallendale at 1830 South Ocean Drive. Upon arrival, they discovered Pajtim Krasniqi, 34, and his wife, Sabrina Krasniqi, 27, lying on the balcony of their lavish condo. They were both pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

In a heartbreaking Facebook post, Albana Krasniqi Munrett wrote, “My Thanksgiving Eve wasn’t spent with my husband and children. It wasn’t spent with friends. It was spent with police officers, detectives and news reports talking about the vicious and senseless murder of my youngest brother by his wife.” 

“Pajtimi’s wife chose to take my brother’s life away from him when she shot 5 bullets into his chest. The person he trusted the most, the person he chose to spend his life with was the one who took his away from him. She betrayed him, his love and his trust. She shattered my family. My siblings and I will never be the same. I’m terrified my mother will not ever recover,” the post continued.

According to The Post, aerial footage of the police investigation revealed what appeared to be bullet holes in a glass door, with pools of blood nearby. Inside the unit was a teddy bear, a box of roses with a heart on it and the TV still on, per the outlet. 

The cops responded to the scene after receiving an alert from ShotSpotter, a gunfire detection program. This program captured at least five shots erupting in quick succession, followed by a brief pause and then a sixth gunshot.

Washington: A Indian national, identified as Sanjay Kaushik, was arrested in the US for allegedly procuring aerospace components on behalf of Russian entities in violation of export control laws.

The 57-year-old, Managing Partner of New Delhi-based air charter services provider Arezo Aviation, was arrested in Miami on October 17 after he landed from India on an official travel, the Department of Justice said in a press release.

According to the company’s website, Arezo Aviation is based out of Maharam Nagar in Delhi Cantt area and is an aviation services firm involved in air charters, air ambulances, and the distribution of aircraft spare parts, lubricants, and pilot supply for commercial, general, and corporate aviation.

Currently detained in an Oregon jail, Kaushik has not sought release. US Magistrate Judge Stacie F Beckerman on Friday ordered that he remain in custody, citing him as a flight risk.

If convicted, Kaushik faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million per count under the indictment. “Kaushik is part of an illicit procurement network unlawfully obtaining aviation goods and technology from the United States for entities in Russia,” federal prosecutors told the court.

They claimed that Kaushik worked in collaboration with his Austria-based associate Markus Kaltenegger and others to obtain US-origin aviation goods for end-users in Russia.

According to court filings, Kaushik exported aircraft parts, components, and technology, from the US to Russia and Russian end users without obtaining the required license or authorisation from the Department of Commerce for such exports and re-exports.

“Sanjay Kaushik is part of an illicit procurement network unlawfully obtaining export-controlled aviation goods and technology from the United States for entities in Russia, including sanctioned entities reportedly involved in providing aviation goods to the Russian government or military,” federal prosecutors alleged.

The evidence shows that Kaushik conspired with Kaltenegger and others to “facilitate the purchase, shipping, and negotiation of aviation goods from the US for re-export to Russian clients, splitting the profit from such illicit sales, in violation of the ECRA (Export Control Reform Act) and smuggling statutes,” they alleged.

Jaiswal, Rahul power India’s stunning turnaround, lead by 218 runs at Perth Test

admin 0

After the heavy roller was used before play on Day 2 and again after Australia’s first innings ended at 104, India gained a useful 46-run lead, which helped ease the pitch under the scorching sun. This made batting easier for Jaiswal and Rahul, who finished Day 2 unbeaten on 90 and 62, respectively. The pair have put India in a strong position, with their second innings total standing at 172/0 after 57 overs.

Jaiswal, Rahul power India’s stunning turnaround, lead by 218 runs at Perth Test


Perth: After a fast-moving opening day where 17 wickets fell in 76.4 overs, many expected for day two of the first Test to follow the same route. But with the pitch flattening out, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul led India’s stunning turnaround to end day two with a 218-run lead at the Perth Stadium on Saturday.

With the heavy roller used before day two’s play began and once after Australia’s first innings ended on 104, as India grabbed a handy 46-run lead, it meant the pitch eased out under the baking sun. That made life easy for Jaiswal and Rahul, who ended Day 2 not out on 90 and 62 respectively, as the duo have now put India into a potential winning position, with their second innings score standing at 172/0 in 57 overs.

Jaiswal, playing his first Test in Australia, came off a duck in the first innings, but showed balanced composure and aggression to be in complete control of hitting seven fours and two sixes. On the other hand, Rahul was calmness and solidity personified to hit four boundaries as he and Jaiswal batted two whole sessions unscathed for India to dominate day two’s play, where just three wickets fell in 81.2 overs.

In the final session, Australia grew tiresome – Pat Cummins resorted to a brief short-ball ploy, while Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood beat the bat relentlessly and bowled some unplayable deliveries. Some overs were given to Nathan Lyon, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Marnus Labuschagne, but none could separate Jaiswal and Rahul, who amassed 22 runs in the first 17 overs of the session.

There was luck on India’s side – Jaiswal hit a drive away from his body off Starc, but Usman Khawaja couldn’t get low enough in time to take the chance at first slip. In the next over, Rahul was sent back by Jaiswal after coming halfway down the pitch, and was back to his crease in time, thus avoiding a run-out.

Amidst this, Jaiswal got to his ninth fifteen Test cricket with a drive to sweeper cover off Lyon, and then proceeded to hammer Marsh through point for four and flick Starc for a beautifully-timed six. Rahul drove Starc’s half-volley through point for four, before raising his bat for a solid fifty in 124 balls.

After scything Cummins through the gap between second and third slip for four, Jaiswal danced down the pitch to dispatch Lyon for a massive six over long-on, which became his 34th maximum hit by him in Tests in 2024, surpassing Brendon McCullum’s record for 33 sixes in 2014 to become the batter with most sixes in a calender year in the format, as he and Rahul ensured India ended the day in a commanding position, while Australia have their backs against a defiant duo and would need more than anything special to make a comeback on day three.

Brief Scores: India 150/10 and 172/0 in 57 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 90 not out, KL Rahul 62 not out) lead Australia 104/10 in 51.2 overs (Mitchell Starc 26, Alex Carey 21; Jasprit Bumrah 5-30, Harshit Rana 3-48) by 218 runs

Silver likely to outperform gold, may reach Rs 1.25L/kg on MCX, $40 on COMEX-Telangana Today

Silver has recently delivered strong performance, rising over 40% year-to-date and surpassing ₹100,000 domestically, driven by safe-haven buying and solid industrial demand, according to a report by Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (MOFSL).

Silver likely to outperform gold, may reach Rs 1.25L/kg on MCX, $40 on COMEX

Representtaional Image

Mumbai: Silver could either match or outperform gold in the medium to long term, and is likely to reach Rs 1,25,000 per kg on MCX and $40 on COMEX in the next 12 to 15 months, a report showed on Saturday.

Recently, silver has shown impressive performance, gaining more than 40 per cent (year-to-date) and breaching Rs 100,000 on the domestic front, fuelled by safe-haven buying and robust industrial demand, according to the report by Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (MOFSL).

MOFSL has also set targets for gold of Rs 81,000 in the medium term and Rs 86,000 in the long term. It expects gold to reach $2,830 on COMEX in the medium term and $3,000 in the long term.

“2024 has experienced a significant price rally fuelled by market uncertainties, expectations of rate cuts, rising demand, and a depreciating rupee. The months following the US presidential election will be critical in shaping gold’s near-term trajectory,” said Manav Modi, analyst, commodity research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

Two key factors underpinning this year’s rally in precious metals are expectations of rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East.

“Overall, the sentiment for this Diwali is projected to be positive, raising optimism for bullion,” Modi said.

Regardless of shifting narratives or market volatility, one constant remains — gold has historically served as a reliable store of value during uncertain times. According to the report, if one had invested in gold during Diwali 2019, they would be enjoying 103 per cent returns on their domestic gold investments by this Diwali. Since 2011, there have only been two instances (2015 and 2016) where the 30 days leading up to Diwali recorded negative returns.

Aside from 2022, pre-Diwali gains have consistently outpaced post-Diwali gains. “We continue to believe that gold has further upside potential wherein any dips could present buying opportunities. According to our recent quarterly report, a correction of 5-7 per cent is plausible and could serve as an accumulation zone,” said Modi.

Two key factors underpinning this year’s rally in precious metals are rate cut expectations from the Federal Reserve and rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East.

2 More Hindu Priests Arrested In Bangladesh Amid Protests: ISKCON Kolkata

Kolkata:

Two more Hindu priests were arrested in Bangladesh, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Saturday.

Speaking to PTI, Radharamn Das said, “I have received information that two more ISKCON monks have been arrested by police in Bangladesh.” In a post on X on Friday night, Radharamn Das said, “In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu’s secretary is also missing. Please pray for them.” Earlier on Friday, Radharamn had posted, “Another Brahmachari, Sri Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested by Chattogram Police today.” “Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing,” Radharamn posted on X on Saturday. His comments comes comes in the backdrop of unconfirmed reports of arrest of three more ISKCON monks, days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmay Das.

Chinmay Das, who also served as a spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail on Tuesday by the Chattogram Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court.

Historically, Hindus made up approximately 22 per cent of Bangladesh’s population during the 1971 Liberation War.

The Hindu population, once a substantial demographic in Bangladesh, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades, with the minority community now comprising only around 8 per cent of the country’s total population.

This drop is largely attributed to a combination of socio-political marginalisation, exodus and sporadic violence over the years.

“Rythu Panduga” organised to deceive farmers, says Harish Rao

“Rythu Panduga” organised to deceive farmers, says Harish Rao


 Hyderabad: Ridiculing the claims of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy about farmers welfare and development of the State in last one year, Former Minister and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao accused Revanth Reddy of making false claims about farmers welfare during “Rythu Panduga” organised to celebrate one year in power.

Alleging that the claims made by the Chief Minister were false and far from reality, Harish Rao said the Congress government failed to fulfil promises made to farmers of the State. All the hopes of farmers on the government making an announcement over crop loan waiver and Rythu Bharosa for Vanakalam and Yasangi were dashed. Not to mention the promises made to tenant farmers and farm labourers, he said.

He charged that the Chief Minister had deceived the farmers yet again at the Rythu Panduga programme. “Congress was claiming a patent for the Rythu Bima scheme launched by BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao,”he said.

Countering the Chief Minister’s claim that 1.53 crore tonnes paddy was cultivated due to the projects constructed during the Congress, the former Minister said the projects were operational in 2014 as well, but why was only 68 lakh paddy cultivated then?he asked, adding that how 1.68 crore metric tonnes were produced by 2023-24.

The former Minister also sought to know how the 1.31 lakh acres in 2014-15 had increased to 2.21 lakh acres by 2023. Stressing that farmers had to suffer land loss for development, whom the chief minister was trying to threaten?he asked. Despite the tribal farmers of Lagacharla opposing pharma villages, the Congress government put them in prison, he said, adding that now, the Chief Minister was shedding crocodile tears.

On the Chief Minister’s charges that the BRS had failed to complete pending irrigation projects in Mahabubnagar during its tenure, Harish Rao countered saying that only 27,000 acres were provided water through Kalwakurthy, Bima,Nettempadu and Koyal Sagar project till 2014. This was increased to 6.5 lakh acres by the BRS government, he reminded. Similarly, 90 percent of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) was completed by the BRS government, he said, adding that even after one year the Congress government had failed to complete the balance work.

“CM should prove that BRS chief farm house was spread over 1000 acres. Failing which he should quit as CM,” Harish Rao challenged.

The former Minister said the BRS was keen to expose the Congress government’s failure at the assembly. “Will the BRS members be provided with sufficient time and mike in the House?” he asked.

Iran condemns terrorist attack on its consulate in Syria

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned an attack by armed terrorist groups on the Islamic Republic’s consulate building in Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo, stressing that Tehran will take legal action against the assault.

Baghaei made the remarks in a statement on Saturday, after Iran said that “terrorist elements” had attacked its consulate in Aleppo during an offensive in the area, following the resurgence of Takfiri terrorism in the Arab country. 

He further denounced as “unacceptable” any violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), which prohibits such attacks against diplomatic premises and representatives.

The top Iranian diplomat further noted that all consulate staff members were safe and in good health.

The Takfiri terrorists led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched a large-scale attack in Aleppo and Idlib provinces in the northwest of Syria on Wednesday, seizing several areas, according to reports.

Since then, the Syrian government forces have been engaged in fierce clashes with the terrorists to regain ground.

Syria has been gripped by foreign-sponsored militancy since March 2011, with Damascus saying the Western states and their regional allies are aiding terrorist groups to wreak havoc in the Arab country.

Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria in March 2011.

The onslaught on Aleppo marking the resurgence of Takfiri terrorism came just after Israel submitted to a ceasefire in its war on Lebanon where Hezbollah put up fierce resistance to Israeli troops trying to occupy pockets of the country’s south.
