**Bhopal: Police Seize Rifle for Ballistic Examination Following Death of 10-Year-Old Girl During Dussehra Celebrations**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Police have seized a .315 bore rifle and fired cartridges from a licensed owner and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Sagar, for ballistic examination following the tragic death of a 10-year-old girl during Dussehra celebrations in Bhopal.
Sources from the police department revealed that the firearm belongs to a senior retired police officer, and the firing took place in an open-air location.
The victim, Riya Rajak, daughter of Sunil Rajak and a resident of Shashi Hi-Tech City, Rajharsh Colony, was injured on October 2 when a stray bullet struck her shoulder. She was rushed to a private hospital around noon but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries at 4:55 p.m.
Initially, doctors did not confirm a gunshot wound, and a case under the relevant section was registered. However, a postmortem conducted at Gandhi Medical College on October 3 revealed a .315 bore bullet inside her body, confirming that the cause of death was a firearm injury. Subsequently, an FIR was filed against an unknown person.
Investigations by a special police team revealed that the bullet was fired during Dussehra puja from an open area roughly one kilometer away from where Riya was struck.
Authorities have stated that further action will be taken based on the FSL report, as the investigation continues to identify the person responsible for this tragic incident.

When asked by reporters for a message to fans, Kusama once again bowed, tears in his eyes, saying, “I am truly sorry.”
Kusama, 29, was arrested early in the morning on October 4th on suspicion of public indecency after allegedly exposing his lower body near the entrance of a building in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward. A witness reported the incident to the police, and officers who arrived at the scene took him into custody. It is believed that he was intoxicated at the time.
The incident occurred about a year and a half after A! Group made their CD debut, during a period when Kusama had been active as both a singer and actor. His management company released a statement on October 4th saying, “We take this matter very seriously given its social impact and have decided to suspend Kusama’s activities.”
Two days after the arrest that shocked fans nationwide, police transferred Kusama to the prosecutors’ office on the morning of October 6th. As prosecutors did not file a request for detention, he was released the same afternoon. Authorities stated that investigations will continue while Kusama remains under non-custodial status.

**Aahana Kumra Receives Death and Rape Threats from Pawan Singh Fans**
*By Shreya Mukherjee | October 6, 2025, 11:18 AM*
Actor Aahana Kumra, recently evicted from the reality show *Rise And Fall*, has opened up about receiving severe death and rape threats from fans of fellow contestant Pawan Singh. Despite publicly reconciling with Singh on stage, the online harassment persisted, prompting Kumra to report the incidents to the show’s makers.
**Harsh Threats and Online Abuse**
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Kumra revealed the extent of the abuse she faced. “I came out of the show and got a lot of death and rape threats,” she said. She also shared that she had forwarded screenshots of these threats to the show’s producers.
Kumra expressed her confusion over the hostility, stating, “So why was I getting such threats? Maine toh aisi koi baat nahi kahi thi (I didn’t say any such thing).” She made it clear that she neither used abusive language nor behaved offensively during the show.
**Shocked by the Intensity of the Threats**
Reflecting on the experience, Kumra said, “I was like, oh wow, hum log kaunse zamane mein reh rahe hain? (What era are we living in?) Kis sadi me hai ki meri ek baat kehney par mujhe itney threats mil rahe hai – par kisi aur ko kuch nahi kaha ja raha (Which century is this where I’m getting so many threats just for saying one thing, while no one else is getting targeted).”
**Resolution and Reconciliation**
Despite the initial backlash, Kumra shared that the issue was resolved on stage. She said, “In fact, today I hold him in high regard, kyunki bahut contestants ne mere baare mein bahut kuch kaha aur aaj tak sorry nahi bola (because many contestants said a lot about me and haven’t apologized to this day).”
She recalled a heartfelt moment when she touched Pawan Singh’s mother’s feet as a gesture of respect, which Singh acknowledged openly during the show.
**Understanding Fan Reactions but Seeking Respect**
Kumra acknowledged that fans can get emotional. “I understand ki log gussa ho jaate hain, aur unhe lagta hai ki maine kuch aisa keh diya jo unhe bura laga (I understand that people get angry, and they feel that I said something that hurt them).” However, she hoped that fans would respect the reconciliation between her and Singh.
**About Aahana Kumra**
Outside the realm of reality TV, Aahana Kumra was last seen in the film *Salaam Venky*, starring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa, which released in December 2022.

**Youth Murdered and Body Attempted to Be Burned in Nanded District**
Nanded: A shocking incident unfolded in the Gadga area of Naigaon taluka, Nanded district, where 17-year-old Jishan Latif Syed was brutally murdered, and an attempt was made to burn his body. The incident came to light on October 2, coinciding with the Dussehra celebrations.
According to the complaint lodged by Jishan’s father, Latif Chandulal Syed, the Naigaon police promptly registered a case at the local police station. Demonstrating swift action, the police resolved the case within six hours of the incident, arresting the accused, Abbas Ramjaansaab Shaikh.
The motive behind the murder stemmed from Abbas’s suspicion that Jishan had illicit intentions towards his wife. Jishan and Abbas were friends, but Abbas harbored doubts that Jishan looked at his wife with malicious intent. Their strained relationship escalated following a severe quarrel during Muharram, which was initially resolved through the intervention of community elders. However, Abbas’s suspicion lingered.
On October 1, both Jishan and Abbas were seen leaving the village together on a motorcycle. Later that day, Jishan did not return home. When his family members tried to reach him by phone, his phone was switched off. Attempts to inquire about Jishan were made to Abbas, but he provided no positive response and eventually switched off his phone as well.
The police investigation relied on evidence found at the crime scene, including liquor bottles, footwear, and other items. Additionally, CCTV footage helped authorities track the suspect. Consequently, Abbas was arrested from Deglur.
The case highlights the importance of community vigilance and swift police response in ensuring justice. Further investigation is ongoing.

Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez has been arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) following a violent confrontation in downtown Indianapolis that left him hospitalized with stab wounds. The 38-year-old, best known for leading the New York Jets to consecutive AFC Championship appearances, is now facing three misdemeanor charges.
### What Happened to Mark Sanchez in Indianapolis?
The IMPD confirmed that officers responded to a disturbance involving two men shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Saturday in an alley near the Indiana Statehouse, within the bustling Wholesale District nightlife area. According to police, the altercation escalated from a verbal argument to a physical confrontation, leaving one man with lacerations and Sanchez with injuries consistent with stab wounds.
Detectives later reviewed surveillance footage of the incident and arrested Sanchez on suspicion of:
– Battery resulting in injury
– Unlawful entry of a motor vehicle
– Public intoxication
All three offenses are classified as misdemeanors under Indiana law. The IMPD clarified that no additional suspects are being sought and added that the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office will make the final decision on formal charges.
### Is Mark Sanchez Still Hospitalized?
Yes. Police confirmed that Sanchez remains hospitalized and is in stable condition. As of Saturday evening, he had not yet been booked into a detention facility.
Earlier in the day, Fox Sports issued a statement expressing gratitude for the medical care Sanchez has received:
> “We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”
### Was Sanchez Scheduled to Broadcast a Game This Weekend?
Sanchez had been slated to serve as part of the broadcast team for Sunday’s NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. However, Fox Sports has since replaced him with fellow analyst Brady Quinn, according to Front Office Sports.
### What Do We Know About the Scene of the Incident?
By Saturday evening, locals and NFL fans visiting downtown Indianapolis were still discussing the early-morning altercation. Witnesses reported dried blood visible on the pavement along the 300 block of West Washington Street, near Loughmillers Pub & Eatery and Pronta Pizzeria, where the confrontation reportedly occurred.
Despite the overnight violence, nearby restaurants and businesses were operating as usual.
### Who Is Mark Sanchez?
Mark Sanchez was a standout collegiate quarterback at the University of Southern California (USC) from 2006 to 2008. He led college football in passing yards and touchdowns before being drafted fifth overall by the New York Jets in 2009.
Sanchez guided the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship Games in his first two seasons and compiled a 33-29 record during his tenure with the team. He also had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington before retiring from the NFL in 2019.
In 2021, Sanchez joined Fox Sports as a television analyst, quickly becoming a familiar presence on national broadcasts.
In a show of support, the New York Jets posted to X (formerly Twitter):
> “Sending our thoughts and love to Mark Sanchez and his family. Hoping for a speedy recovery. #6”
### Has Downtown Indianapolis Seen Recent Violent Incidents?
This latest case comes amid growing concern about crime in downtown Indianapolis, particularly after a mass shooting over the July 4 weekend that left two teenagers dead and five others injured.
The stabbing involving Sanchez has reignited scrutiny of safety conditions in the city’s nightlife districts, though police have not suggested any broader connection between the incidents.
### What Happens Next?
Sanchez remains under hospital care as detectives finalize their investigation. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office will review the evidence before determining whether to proceed with formal charges.
For now, the former NFL quarterback’s future with Fox Sports remains uncertain, as both the broadcaster and his representatives have declined to comment beyond their initial statement.

A man wanted for the murder of a fellow worker in Khopoli was arrested at the India-Nepal border on September 29, after evading police for nearly three weeks.
The accused, Akhtar Habib Baitha (27), a resident of Pirokhar village in Madhubani district, Bihar, had been absconding since September 11, the day the murder occurred.
### Murder Linked to Money Dispute
Police reported that Baitha allegedly attacked Paras Harihar Singh (50) of Sitamarhi, Bihar, by hitting him on the head with a stone inside a rented room and shed in Devanhave, Khalapur taluka, Raigad. Singh later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigations revealed that the attack stemmed from a financial dispute. Singh had lent Rs 6,000 to Baitha, who was asked to return the money, leading to the fatal confrontation.
### Accused Flees Across Multiple Districts
Following the murder, Baitha fled from Raigad to Thane, then to Dahanu in Palghar district, switching off his phone to avoid detection. Police teams conducted searches in Surat, Ahmedabad, Madhubani, and Sitamarhi but were initially unable to trace him.
### Arrest Coordinated with Nepal Police
Acting on intelligence, authorities learned that Baitha was hiding in Mahottari, Nepal. A special police team, in coordination with local Nepalese police, tracked his movements and successfully detained him at the India-Nepal border.
Superintendent of Police Anchal Dalal praised the operation, stating, “Tracking and arresting an accused across state borders and near an international boundary was a major challenge.”
Baitha was arrested at 2:45 pm on September 29 and produced before the court, which remanded him to police custody until October 4.
### Ongoing Investigation
The investigation is currently being supervised by Additional SP Abhijit Shivthare, SDPO Vishal Nehul, and PI Sachin Hire. Authorities continue to follow up on all leads to ensure a thorough inquiry into the case.

**Cassie Ventura’s Lawyers React to Diddy’s Sentencing: ‘Bravery, Inspiration to Many’**
*By Apoorva Rastogi | October 4, 2025, 4:46 PM*
Sean “Diddy” Combs’s former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s legal team, has responded to his recent sentencing following a high-profile federal trial.
On Friday, the former music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution in July. The sentence includes four years and two months of supervised release and a $500,000 fine—the maximum penalty allowed.

### Lawyers’ Statement on the Sentencing
Ventura’s attorneys, Douglas Wigdor and Meredith Firetog of Wigdor LLP, issued a statement shortly after the sentencing:
*”While nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the sentence imposed today recognizes the impact of the serious offenses he committed. We are confident that with the support of her family and friends, Ms. Ventura will continue healing knowing that her bravery and fortitude have been an inspiration to so many.”*

### Background: Ventura’s Allegations Against Combs
Cassie Ventura and Sean Combs were involved in a turbulent relationship spanning from 2007 to 2018. During this period, Ventura alleged that Combs would organize days-long “freak offs,” where he hired male escorts for her to engage in sexual acts while he watched.
Ventura also claimed that Combs physically assaulted her and blackmailed her with videos of these “freak-offs,” to silence her from exposing the abuse. During her testimony, she stated that Combs controlled many aspects of her life.
—
### The Conviction Overview
**What was Combs convicted of?**
Combs was found guilty on two counts of arranging paid male escorts to cross state lines for drug-fueled sexual encounters involving his girlfriends. While he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges—which carried the potential for a life sentence—prosecutors alleged that Combs used violence and intimidation to coerce Ventura and another woman into these acts.
—
### Legal Strategy and Next Steps
Sean Combs pleaded not guilty throughout the trial and plans to appeal his conviction. His defense attorneys acknowledged that he had physically abused his girlfriends but argued that the women willingly participated in the sexual activities.
During sentencing, the defense recommended a 14-month prison term, which would have potentially allowed Combs to be released by the end of the year after accounting for time served. However, the judge imposed the significantly longer sentence.

The sentencing marks a pivotal moment in a case that has drawn significant attention to issues of coercion and abuse within the entertainment industry. Cassie Ventura’s legal team emphasizes her resilience and hopes her story serves as an inspiration to others who have endured similar trauma.
