France: 60-year-old ex-firefighter commits robbery to visit grandson in prison

**Bizarre Acts of Love: A Retired Firefighter’s Desperate Robbery**

Adding to the list of bizarre things people have done for love is the story of a 60-year-old retired firefighter with no prior criminal record who entered a supermarket near a local police station. Wearing a balaclava over his mouth and brandishing a firearm, he demanded all the money in the supermarket. Oddly, he also helped himself to a piece of Emmental cheese and some wine before being arrested.

What makes this incident truly unusual is the man’s calm demeanor when he walked with the police to their car, seemingly wanting to be arrested. It later emerged that his motives were heartbreaking rather than criminal.

According to an interview with his court-appointed lawyer, the man was desperate — he didn’t even want the money. All he wished was to see his grandson or at least be allowed to go on a walk with him. The lawyer revealed that the man was heartbroken after seeing his grandson in a waiting room with a broken tooth, a result of being molested by inmates.

The 60-year-old was prosecuted for armed robbery, aggravated assault, and rebellion. He pled guilty, but his circumstances deeply moved everyone involved, including the judge. Ultimately, the judge ruled that the man acted out of desperation and spared him from the typical three to five years of prison.

In the end, the man was ordered to compensate the victims of the robbery, undergo psychological treatment, and was banned from visiting the supermarket he robbed. Importantly, he retained the legal right to visit his grandson without being incarcerated. This story appears to have a hopeful resolution for all parties involved.

**Invite-Only Burger: The World’s Most Expensive Burger**

While burgers are generally popular as pocket-friendly meals, burger prices are on the rise — but nothing like the $11,000 burger served at the Asador Aupa restaurant in Spain. This exclusive burger, costing approximately Rs 97 lakh, is the result of eight years of research and experimentation by the chefs and remains a closely guarded secret.

Unlike typical food joint burgers, this gourmet creation is not listed on the restaurant’s menu. The owner explains that their concept was that luxury doesn’t need to be flashy but rather unattainable. As such, diners must be invited to try this burger.

The restaurant’s website states: *“If you think you should be on the list, you can request it and the request will be processed.”* The exclusivity surrounding this high-priced burger — with no gimmicks, just high-quality ingredients — is certainly fascinating.

**It’s a Mall World: A Shared Dream Phenomenon on Reddit**

Reddit users have been bonding over a strange shared experience: many of them report having dreams set in the same mall-like environment. Although the events within the dreams vary, the similarity of the setting has sparked curiosity and even conspiracy theories.

To discuss this phenomenon, Redditors have created dedicated spaces where people share their dream experiences related to this “mall world,” fueling speculation about the collective subconscious or other unexplained causes.

**Who Let the Frogs In? A Painful Misguided Remedy**

In China, a woman suffering from back pain turned to an unusual and dangerous folk remedy she heard — swallowing live frogs to cure joint pain. Acting on the rumor, she swallowed eight live frogs.

Unfortunately, this extreme measure led to severe health problems, including multiple parasitic infections and blood disorders. This case serves as a cautionary tale against blindly following unverified remedies or rumors when it comes to health treatments.

**Raw-Dogging Boredom: Gen Z’s New Screen Detox Trend**

In a surprising new trend, Gen Z has found a novel method to reduce screen time — by doing absolutely nothing. This challenge, popularized on TikTok, involves staring blankly without any entertainment, sleep, or distraction, simply enduring boredom.

Nicknamed “raw-dogging boredom,” this practice could unexpectedly help teens manage their screen addiction and improve their attention spans. Whether it becomes a lasting remedy for digital overload remains to be seen, but it’s a unique approach to tackling modern life’s screen-heavy habits.

Defamation case: Bathinda court directs Kangana to appear in October

The court has ordered Kangana Ranaut to appear physically on October 27. The summons will be served through the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP).

### Background of the Case

The case dates back to January 2021, when Ranaut allegedly defamed an elderly woman farmer on social media during the farmers’ agitation.

### Allegations and Complainant

The defamation complaint was filed by Mahinder Kaur, a 73-year-old resident of Bahadurgarh Jandian village in Bathinda. She alleged that Ranaut had defamed her in a social media post by mistakenly identifying her as Shaheen Bagh protester Bilkis Bano.

Ranaut’s tweet read, “She is the same daadi who featured in Time magazine for being the most powerful Indian. And she is available in 100.”

Feeling harmed by these remarks, Kaur filed the case on January 4, 2021, claiming damage to her reputation.

### Legal Proceedings

In February 2022, the Bathinda court issued summons to Ranaut. Following this, Ranaut approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking relief; however, her petition was dismissed.

She then moved the Supreme Court, which also refused to intervene and upheld the lower court’s order.

Ranaut maintained that she had only reposted a lawyer’s social media post without making any independent remarks. Despite this, the Bathinda court found sufficient grounds to continue the proceedings and rejected her plea for a virtual appearance.

### Supreme Court’s Comments

Earlier this month, Supreme Court Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta commented on the case during proceedings. The bench observed,

*”It was not a simple retweet. You have added spice. What this means is a subject matter of trial. Don’t ask us to comment on what is written in the tweet. It may prejudice your trial.”*

The judges noted that the Member of Parliament from Mandi had not merely shared the tweet but had added her own comment, which is central to the trial.

The upcoming court date will be critical in determining the next steps in this ongoing defamation case involving Kangana Ranaut.

Asia Cup: Sahibzada Farhan’s gun gesture after half-century draws flak

**Asia Cup 2025: Sahibzada Farhan’s Gun Gesture After Half-Century Draws Flak**

*By Rajdeep Saha | Sep 21, 2025, 09:53 pm*

Pakistan cricketer Sahibzada Farhan has come under widespread criticism for his controversial celebration during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash against India. After scoring a well-crafted half-century, Farhan made a gun-firing gesture towards his dugout, a move that has sparked outrage, especially in light of the recent tragic Pahalgam terror attack.

### The Incident

Farhan reached his 50 with style by smashing a huge six off India’s Axar Patel in the 10th over, injecting momentum into Pakistan’s innings. However, his subsequent celebration – mimicking a firing gun towards his teammates – immediately drew heavy criticism on social media. The gesture was seen as insensitive, given that just months earlier, the Pahalgam terror attack claimed the lives of 26 innocent Indian tourists, an act attributed to Pakistan-based militants.

### Public Reaction

Social media users expressed strong disappointment and outrage over Farhan’s actions. One fan remarked, “Disappointed with Sahibzada Farhan’s gun gesture after his 50 in the Ind vs Pak match. Felt like a jab at India’s hospitality.” Another user commented, “Sahibzada Farhan showing how his brothers killed innocent tourists in Pahalgam through his half-century celebration.”

### Match Summary

In the cricketing action at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, Pakistan lost three wickets during the powerplay overs. Sahibzada Farhan eventually fell to Shivam Dube for 58 runs off 45 balls. Earlier, Dube had also dismissed Pakistan’s Saim Ayub, who scored 21 runs.

Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman’s innings ended controversially when he was caught behind off Hardik Pandya’s bowling, with Sanju Samson taking the catch. Later, Kuldeep Yadav claimed the wicket of Hussain Talat, as India sought to keep Pakistan’s scoring in check in this crucial Super 4 encounter.

The incident involving Farhan has overshadowed the thrilling cricket on display and has raised questions about sportsmanship and sensitivity in moments of celebration.

What caught our eye

**Changing Lives: Breaking Barriers and Rebuilding Dreams**

In a world where beauty standards often exclude rather than include, Pakistan’s Depilex Smileagain Foundation (DSF) and L’Oréal Pakistan, with funding from Fondation L’Oréal, recently celebrated a significant milestone. Sixty women completed a transformative four-month training course and gathered at the Depilex centre in Karachi to receive their certificates. This course is part of the *Beauty for a Better Life* (BFBL) programme.

BFBL isn’t just about teaching skills; it’s about rewriting the narrative of survival and recovery. These were not ordinary graduates — all of them were survivors of acid attacks and domestic violence. The training covered haircare, skincare, makeup, and salon management, but its impact went far beyond professional skills.

For these women, the course represented much more than simple training. It meant independence and an opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Masarrat Misbah, founder of DSF, explained at the graduation ceremony, “*Beauty for a Better Life* is more than a training programme. It restores dignity, reignites hope, and opens real opportunities.”

Despite this progress, the reality remains complex. Many survivors still face discrimination in hiring processes, exclusion from family gatherings, and suffer from limited long-term support systems. Masarrat Misbah emphasised the pressing need for practical help in securing steady employment. Vocational training is only the beginning — survivors need genuine opportunities to apply what they have learnt.

Two weeks before the graduation, *Runway SS 25* transformed what could have been just another glamorous fashion event into something profoundly meaningful. The event brought together Pakistan’s leading designers, stylists, models, choreographers, fashion writers, bloggers, influencers, celebrities, and editors.

Masarrat Misbah herself walked the runway alongside acid attack survivors and vision-impaired persons, highlighting the power of inclusion. The collaboration showcased clothes by designer Zubair Shah. Professional models accompanied survivors down the catwalk — some wore confident smiles, others displayed quiet determination. The audience, composed of Pakistan’s fashion elite, rose to their feet in applause.

This moment was more than a narrative shift from victims to survivors — it signified a true sense of belonging.

The fashion showcase was about more than just clothes. Renowned dancer Sheema Kermani performed Kathak to the poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, honouring colleagues the arts community has lost. Young dancers infused contemporary energy into classical forms. Designers presented a range of styles, from traditional bridal wear to innovative garments.

Transgender rights activist Kami Chaudhry made a striking appearance as a showstopper, reinforcing the event’s broader message of inclusion.

For Anwaar (name changed to protect identity), a young man who survived an acid attack, walking the runway fulfilled a dream he thought was lost forever.

“As a teenager, I aspired to be a model. But after the acid attack, I thought that dream was impossible. Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined walking the runway as a model again after what happened to me. This is truly a dream come true,” he shared.

Anwaar’s experience captures the deep impact of the programme: not only does it train survivors and equip them with tools for economic independence, but it also gives them the confidence to believe that their dreams can become reality.

**Beauty for a Better Life is transforming lives — one step, one dream, and one runway at a time.**
