**Texas Man Arrested for Killing Hyderabad Student at Gas Station**

*By Snehil Singh | October 7, 2025, 10:30 AM*

A 23-year-old Texas resident, Richard Florez, has been arrested in connection with the murder of 28-year-old Indian student Chandrashekar Pole at a Fort Worth gas station.

**The Incident**

The tragic event occurred on Friday night while Pole was working his part-time shift at a gas station on Eastchase Parkway. According to reports, Florez allegedly shot Pole before fleeing the scene. Shortly after, Florez reportedly fired at another vehicle about a mile away and then crashed his car into a gate while attempting to enter a residence on Meadowbrook Drive.

**Legal Proceedings**

Florez was apprehended soon after the crash. Authorities discovered a firearm in his vehicle. Fort Worth Police spokesperson Officer Brad Perez confirmed to NBC DFW that Florez is currently hospitalized but has been charged with homicide. The motive for the shooting remains under investigation.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office declared Pole dead at the scene.

**Victim’s Profile**

Chandrashekar Pole, a native of Hyderabad, India, had completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery before moving to the United States two years ago. He recently earned a Master’s degree in Data Analytics from the University of North Texas in Denton and was actively seeking employment.

To support himself financially, Pole took on a part-time job at the gas station where the shooting took place.

**Repatriation Efforts**

The Indian Consulate in Houston is collaborating with Pole’s family to facilitate the repatriation of his remains. However, due to a local government shutdown, formal police statements and further details have been delayed.

This incident adds to a growing list of violent attacks involving Indian students in the United States.

**Community Reaction**

Pole’s death has deeply affected the local Indian-American community, sparking fear and mourning. In response, community members have launched a GoFundMe campaign to assist with repatriation costs and support for Pole’s family.

This is not an isolated incident; on September 10, another Indian-origin individual, Chandra Nagamallaiah from Karnataka, was fatally attacked at his workplace in East Dallas, Texas, during a dispute with a co-worker.

Our thoughts are with the families and communities affected by these tragic events. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

The officials confirmed that the accused was neutralised in an armed encounter at Aastha Kunj Park, East of Kailash, during the intervening night of October 6 and 7.

The police team retaliated, firing five rounds, during which the accused sustained bullet injuries. He was immediately shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where doctors declared him brought dead,” Tiwari added, as cited by ANI.

The accused has been identified as Bhim Mahabahadur Jora, 39, son of Mahabahadur Jora, and a resident of Lalpur, Kailali District, Nepal.

He was also wanted in a recent burglary at a BJP leader’s residence in Gurugram and had been absconding for several months.

From Jora’s possession, the police recovered one sophisticated automatic pistol, one live round, several empty cartridges, and a bag containing house-breaking tools, reported ANI.

Despite the neutralisation of the Nepalese national, police officials confirmed that further investigation is underway to trace his associates and the network linked to his interstate criminal activities.

Bank Insider Gets 9-Year Jail Term for Gold and Cash Theft

TOKYO, Oct 7 — The Tokyo District Court sentenced former Mitsubishi UFJ Bank assistant branch manager Yukari Yamazaki to nine years in prison on October 6 for stealing approximately 400 million yen worth of gold bars and cash from a bank safe deposit vault.

During the trial, the defense argued that weaknesses in the bank’s security system had allowed Yamazaki to repeatedly commit the thefts. However, the court dismissed this claim in its ruling.

The court stated that the defendant, who had earned the bank’s trust and held a position of responsibility, exploited security systems in a way that only someone in her limited position could, effectively rendering the safeguards powerless.

The court further declared that Yamazaki’s actions were strongly deserving of condemnation.

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.

Two days after the arrest that shocked fans nationwide, police transferred Kusama to the prosecutors’ office on the morning of October 6th.

Aahana Kumra receives death, rape threats from Pawan Singh fans

**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.

Nanded Police Solve 17-Year-Old’s Murder In Just Six Hours

**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.

Mark Sanchez in hospital after Indianapolis stabbing — now under arrest. What we know

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.
