In a shocking incident, a woman was allegedly gang-raped inside a stationary sleeper bus in Delhi on May 11. The bus driver and conductor have been arrested. According to the victim's complaint, she approached a man standing near the bus door to ask for the time, after which she was forcibly pulled inside the vehicle. The accused then drove the bus towards Nangloi, where the assault allegedly occurred. After the incident, the woman was thrown out of the bus. The victim, a 30-year-old married woman with three children, works at a factory in Mangolpuri. Following her medical examination, an FIR was registered, and the two men were arrested. Delhi Police have seized the bus and are investigating all possible angles, including whether the bus was operational at the time of the assault and if any other passengers were present. The incident has drawn strong political reactions, particularly from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has condemned the BJP-led government over safety concerns in the national capital. AAP leaders, including former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, have compared the incident to the 2012 Nirbhaya case, citing the continued danger to women in Delhi’s public transport system. The case remains under investigation, and authorities are expected to gather further details, including forensic and medical reports. The arrest of the accused men brings some measure of accountability, but concerns about women’s safety in Delhi remain high.

Kouri Richins was sentenced to life without parole in the Utah fentanyl murder case involving her husband, Eric Richins, ending a high-profile trial that drew national attention. The Utah mother and real estate agent was convicted in March of aggravated murder in the 2022 death of Eric Richins at their home near Park City. Kouri Richins Sentenced in Utah Murder Case A judge in Park City ruled that Richins, 35, will never be eligible for release. The sentence followed her conviction in the death of her husband, whose killing became widely known after Richins promoted a children’s book about grief following his death. Prosecutors said Richins gave Eric Richins a cocktail containing five times the lethal dose of fentanyl. Jurors also convicted her of four other felonies, including insurance fraud, forgery and attempted murder. Prosecutors Cited Fentanyl, Debt and Insurance Policies The attempted murder conviction was tied to an earlier allegation that Richins tried to poison her husband on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich. Authorities said Richins was millions of dollars in debt, operated a house-flipping business and was planning a future with another man. Prosecutors said she opened several life insurance policies on Eric Richins without his knowledge and wrongly believed she would inherit an estate worth more than $4 million after his death. Family Statements Describe Impact on Children Judge Richard Mrazik imposed the sentence on the day Eric Richins would have turned 44. Prosecutors urged the court to make sure the couple’s three sons would not have to fear a possible future encounter with their mother. During sentencing, relatives described the impact of Eric Richins’ death on the children, who were 9, 7 and 5 when he died. Social workers read statements from the boys, who said they would feel unsafe if their mother were ever released. Richins maintained her innocence in court, calling the verdict false and asking her sons not to give up on her. Her defense team had argued that prosecutors failed to prove murder, but the jury found her guilty on all counts after less than three hours of deliberation. The case remains significant because it combines a fentanyl murder conviction, alleged financial motive, insurance fraud claims and the national attention surrounding Richins’ grief book after her husband’s death.

PHILADELPHIA — A CBP canine named Nitro helped officers seize more than $44,000 in hidden cash from a passenger preparing to board a flight to Cancun, Mexico, at Philadelphia International Airport on Wednesday, April 30. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, the 54-year-old traveler initially claimed he was carrying only $10,000. However, officers later discovered more than $44,000 concealed inside separate envelopes in the passenger’s carry-on bag after Nitro alerted authorities during an outbound enforcement inspection. Why Was the Cash Seized? Federal law does not limit how much cash travelers can carry into or out of the United States. However, travelers must report amounts exceeding $10,000 to the U.S. Treasury. CBP officials said the passenger failed to properly declare the money and attempted to conceal the currency to evade federal reporting laws. Authorities seized the cash and later returned $240 before releasing the traveler. “This traveler concealed currency in multiple locations for the purpose of evading federal currency reporting laws,” Acting Area Port Director Elliott Ortiz said in a statement. CBP Says Currency Seizures Remain a Major Focus Nitro, a three-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever trained to detect currency, firearms, and ammunition, played a key role in the airport cash seizure. CBP said officers and agents seized an average of nearly $180,000 in unreported or illicit currency every day across U.S. borders during 2025, highlighting growing enforcement efforts tied to international travel and bulk cash smuggling investigations.

The National Commission for Women’s report on the TCS Nashik case has flagged alleged POSH Act failures, workplace harassment and serious governance lapses at the company’s Nashik office. The findings have brought renewed attention to workplace safety, internal complaint systems and HR accountability in India’s IT sector. Reports said the NCW panel described the office environment as deeply toxic for women employees. What the NCW Probe Found The inquiry was conducted by a fact-finding committee led by retired Bombay High Court judge Justice Sadhana Jadhav. The panel reportedly met complainants, police officials, HR representatives and company authorities before submitting its findings. According to the report, several women employees alleged sexual harassment, workplace bullying, verbal abuse, stalking, inappropriate conduct and psychological pressure inside the office. Some complainants reportedly said they feared retaliation or career damage if they approached internal grievance channels. POSH Act Compliance Under Scrutiny The NCW report reportedly cited “zero compliance” with key POSH Act safeguards and questioned whether internal complaint systems were trusted or effective. Investigators also flagged weak monitoring, delayed complaint handling and inadequate protection for women employees. The matter is now being viewed not only as an HR failure but as a corporate governance issue. Religious Intimidation Claims Examined The probe also reviewed allegations of religious intimidation and coercive influence at the workplace. Police are reportedly examining WhatsApp chats and digital material linked to the case. The allegations remain under investigation, and the final legal outcome will depend on evidence reviewed by authorities. TCS has reportedly initiated internal action while the case continues to draw national attention.

West Bengal continues to grapple with escalating political violence as another life was lost in a targeted attack. Chandra, the personal assistant to BJP’s leader of opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, was shot and killed in what authorities are calling a pre-planned assassination. The incident took place on the evening of [insert date], near Madhyamgram, a locality in West Bengal. According to eyewitness reports, the victim was traveling by car when a bike-borne assailant pulled alongside and shot at him at point-blank range. The assailant, described as an expert, fired two rounds before quickly fleeing the scene, suggesting the attack was meticulously planned. The car’s driver was also injured in the attack. Chandra was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Eyewitness Account of the Murder An eyewitness who was near the crime scene described the harrowing moment: "Just as Chandra’s car crossed mine, it suddenly stopped midway, and a bike-borne person came and started shooting on the left side of the car. The person seemed to be an expert and fled immediately. It appeared to be pre-planned. The shots were fired at point-blank range. I heard the sound of two rounds," the eyewitness said. The incident occurred between 10:30 PM and 11 PM, about 200 to 300 meters from a hospital. Political Allegations and Reactions Suvendu Adhikari condemned the attack as "a cold-blooded and pre-planned murder" and reassured his supporters that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. He called for peace among BJP workers in the wake of the incident. Agnimitra Paul, a prominent BJP leader, linked the murder to political motives, suggesting it was a result of the anger within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) following their electoral defeat. “This is perhaps a consequence of Mamata Banerjee’s defeat in Bhabanipur,” Paul said, further noting that CCTV footage from the area was being analyzed to identify the attackers. She also highlighted Chandra’s trusted role within the BJP, adding, “He was like a brother to our MLAs and handled several important responsibilities.” Paul questioned why Chandra, who had no direct political role, was targeted, emphasizing the shock and outrage in the community. She also pointed out a separate incident involving a BJP booth worker who was attacked and hospitalized around the same time. TMC's Response and Call for Investigation Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders condemned the murder but refrained from commenting on any political motives. The TMC has called for a CBI investigation into the killing, urging for a thorough inquiry. However, they did not address the specific allegations made by BJP leaders. Rising Post-Poll Violence in West Bengal The murder of Chandra adds to the growing list of casualties from post-poll violence in West Bengal. Since the state’s recent election results were announced, violence has claimed at least four lives across various regions, including Kolkata, Udaynarayanpur, Nanoor, and Jalpaiguri. The ongoing violence has raised serious concerns over the political climate in the state. As the investigation into Chandra’s murder unfolds, the people of West Bengal and political leaders alike await answers regarding the growing unrest and the political motives behind these violent acts.

Punjab was placed on heightened security alert on the night of May 5, IST after two separate explosions rocked military installations within hours of each other, one outside the BSF headquarters in Jalandhar and another near an Army camp in Amritsar.

Authorities are now investigating whether the two incidents are connected,

On May 5, federal prosecutors filed an additional charge against Cole Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump. The new indictment alleges that Allen assaulted a Secret Service officer with a shotgun while rushing through a security checkpoint outside a Washington press gala last month. The grand jury indictment now includes a fourth charge, adding to the original charges of attempting to assassinate President Trump and two firearms-related offenses, including discharging a weapon during a violent crime. Allen, 31, was arrested at the Washington Hilton after the incident. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was present at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, condemned the attack, stating that Allen was heavily armed and attempted to assassinate the President. However, Blanche praised the quick and courageous response from law enforcement, which prevented further harm. “Under the leadership of President Trump, violent political actors will never win; we will prosecute anyone who engages in these horrific acts to the fullest extent of the law,” Blanche said in a statement. The indictment follows earlier uncertainties about whether the bullet that struck the Secret Service officer was fired by Allen or a fellow officer. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro clarified on social media that there was no evidence suggesting the officer was injured by friendly fire. Secret Service Director Sean Curran also confirmed that evidence showed Allen fired the shot before being apprehended. The officer, who was shot at point-blank range in the chest, heroically returned fire and managed to shoot five times, according to Curran. Allen’s jail conditions have raised concerns, with Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui expressing worry about reports of Allen being held on suicide watch and in a constantly lit padded cell. Faruqui, troubled by these conditions, questioned whether they were excessively punitive. Allen had reportedly told FBI agents that he did not expect to survive the attack, raising further concerns about his mental state. Assistant US Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine highlighted that this raised potential concerns regarding suicide risk. The case has now been assigned to U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee who previously served as a police officer. As the case progresses, the additional charges against Allen reflect the severity of the attempted assassination and the significant impact on law enforcement and national security.

Australia has launched public hearings on May 4, 2026, into the Bondi Beach attack and the rising wave of antisemitism, aiming to uncover both the causes of the deadly shooting and the broader social impact. The inquiry focuses on the tragic events of December 14, 2025, when a mass shooting during a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach left 15 people dead, including a child. Authorities have confirmed the attack was driven by antisemitism, placing it at the center of a wider national concern. The hearings, taking place in Sydney, are part of a royal commission examining hate crimes and social cohesion. Witnesses appearing before the panel include victims’ families, community leaders, and individuals who have faced antisemitic abuse. Some participants have been granted anonymity due to fears of retaliation, underlining the seriousness of the situation. Victim testimonies highlight growing fear One of the first witnesses, Sheina Gutnick, whose father was killed while confronting the attackers, described receiving disturbing messages after the incident. She said the aftermath made her feel that antisemitism had become more open and normalized. Her testimony reflects a broader concern within the Jewish community about safety and acceptance in Australia. The commission is being led by former High Court judge Virginia Bell and will proceed in three phases. The first phase examines the scale and nature of antisemitism across the country. The second phase will investigate the circumstances of the Bondi Beach attack in detail, while the final phase will explore how online platforms may be contributing to radicalisation and the spread of hate. Another witness shared concerns about long-term safety, explaining that after decades of living in Australia, they are now questioning whether the country remains secure for future generations. Such accounts point to a shift in public sentiment that the inquiry aims to address. An interim report released earlier by the commission proposed 14 recommendations, including stricter firearm laws and increased security for Jewish gatherings and events. Officials have also noted that international tensions may be influencing domestic incidents, adding complexity to the issue. The hearings are expected to provide critical insights into the Bondi Beach attack and help shape policies to address antisemitism, strengthen security, and restore confidence in social harmony.
