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.

‘Tere Mele Ki Maa Ki…’: BJP Youth Leader Threatens Man With Gun During Kanpur Ramlila; Arrested After Video Goes Viral

**Kanpur BJP Youth Leader Threatens Man with Pistol During Ramlila Program; Video Goes Viral**

*Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), October 04:*

A shocking video has surfaced on social media showing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth leader allegedly threatening a man during a Ramlila program in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The footage, which is rapidly being shared across various platforms, captures the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader showering money on female dancers and brandishing a pistol when confronted about his behavior.

**Incident Details**

The person identified in the video is Amitesh Shukla, a BJYM leader. The incident reportedly took place in Bhaunti village, situated under the Sachendi Police Station jurisdiction. The Ramlila program was part of the village’s Dussehra celebrations.

According to reports, Shukla was openly showering money on dancers. When bystanders objected to his actions, he allegedly pulled out a gun, pointed it at a man, and threatened to kill him. In the video, he is heard saying,
*”Teri g**nd me abhi chadaunga aur chatse aise marunga. Dus hazar rupaiya maine udaaya, koi udaaya?”*
He then verbally abused the man, saying,
*”Are bhaag bh****ke, tere mele ki maa ki ch*t.”*

**Viral Video & Police Response**

An onlooker recorded the entire incident, and the video quickly went viral on social media. Prompted by the widespread attention, the police moved swiftly to address the situation. Amitesh Shukla was arrested, and further investigations are underway.

**Police Statement**

Deputy Commissioner of Police West, Kapil Dev Singh, confirmed the arrest and stated,
*”The identity of the young man threatening with a pistol in the viral video has been established as Amitesh Shukla. The police have taken him into custody along with the illegal weapon and registered a case against him. So far, no evidence of any political connection has been found. The investigation into the source of the pistol and other facts is ongoing.”*

**Congress Reacts**

The Uttar Pradesh Congress party also condemned the incident. Sharing the video on its official social media accounts, the party alleged a rise in lawlessness and labeled the incident as a clear example of “BJP leaders’ hooliganism.”

The Congress statement read:
*”This video is from Kanpur’s Dussehra fair. BJP Yuva Morcha minister Amitesh Shukla can be seen threatening a young man with a pistol and using abusive language. BJP hooliganism is at its peak right now.”*

The incident has once again ignited concerns about public safety and the conduct of political leaders during festive events. Further updates are awaited as the investigation continues.

US Shooting: 1 Dead, 9 Injured As Gunman Crashes Truck Into Mormon Church, Opens Fire & Sets Building Ablaze; Shooter Killed – VIDEO

In a shocking incident on Sunday morning, a 40-year-old man from Burton, Michigan, crashed his truck into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc. After the crash, he opened fire on the congregation and set the church on fire.

### Attack Details

The attack occurred around 10:25 AM at the church located at 4285 McCandlish Road, while hundreds of worshippers were attending Sunday service. According to reports, chaos erupted as the gunman exited his vehicle and opened fire with an assault rifle. During the assault, the shooter also set the church ablaze, though firefighters have since extinguished the flames.

Police described the incident as “completely unnecessary and avoidable,” praising the quick response of officers, which likely prevented further loss of life. The shooter was ultimately fatally shot by police after exchanging gunfire with responding officers.

### Victims and Community Impact

The attack tragically left one person dead and at least nine others injured. Several individuals remain missing, raising fears that the number of victims could increase as rescue operations continue. The identities of those deceased and injured have not yet been released.

The Grand Blanc community has been left shocked and grieving. Officials are providing support to victims, their families, and the congregation during this difficult time.

### Investigation Underway

Law enforcement officials are actively investigating the shooter’s residence and cell phone records to determine the possible motive behind this horrifying attack. Police have classified the event as an active shooter incident and are expected to provide more details during a press conference later on Sunday.

Emergency services continue their search for missing worshippers as the investigation unfolds. The community hopes for answers and healing following this tragic event.

MSNBC Analyst Blames ICE Policies After Shooter Opens Fire on Dallas Facility [WATCH]

During Wednesday’s broadcast of *Katy Tur Reports* on MSNBC, network Security and Intelligence Analyst Christopher O’Leary discussed the recent shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas. He argued that federal law enforcement practices should be reviewed alongside calls to reduce heated political rhetoric.

O’Leary began by characterizing terrorism as a form of communication aimed at shaping perceptions beyond those directly affected. “So, terrorism is theater. It’s intended to influence an audience beyond its immediate victims. It’s putting a message out. And terrorism falls into really three categories: It’s either religiously motivated, ideologically motivated, or, in this case, politically motivated,” he said.

He added, “The politically motivated ones don’t happen in a vacuum. It happens because conditions have been set that people start acting out against.”

According to O’Leary, the current environment has fueled anger and contributed to violent acts targeting government institutions. He cited several factors, including diminishing confidence in institutions, economic inequality, and the operational methods of federal law enforcement agencies.

“The conditions are distrust in institutions that’s been building for quite some time, attacks on institutions, the wealth gap, oppressive policies—at least this is what people perceive—and then the militarization of ICE and other federal law enforcement, the wearing of the masks, the aggressive tactics,” O’Leary explained.

He argued that these conditions create a sense among some individuals that violent acts are the only available means of protest. “So, the people who are starting to act out against this feel it’s their only recourse. Again, this is predictable. We see this happening throughout our history and in other places as well,” he said.

While noting that toning down heated political rhetoric is important, O’Leary maintained that addressing underlying policies and enforcement methods is equally necessary.

“So, we can tone down the rhetoric, and that’s the right message. But you also have to start looking at what policies you’ve implemented and what tactics you’re using, because if you tone down the rhetoric but you leave those other pieces in place, nothing’s going to change,” he emphasized.

O’Leary’s comments followed reports of gunfire directed at an ICE facility in Texas, which authorities confirmed is under investigation.

His remarks highlighted an ongoing debate over the relationship between public discourse, government policy, and violent acts targeting federal agencies. He framed the Texas shooting as part of a broader pattern in which political motivations drive individuals to target institutions they see as symbols of oppressive or unfair practices.

As the investigation into the ICE facility shooting continues, O’Leary’s analysis suggests that federal agencies may face increasing scrutiny—not only over the incidents themselves but also over the policies and tactics that critics argue contribute to the conditions in which such attacks occur.

Trump calls Charlie Kirk a ‘great American hero’ and ‘martyr’ for freedom

US President Donald Trump praised Charlie Kirk as a great American hero and martyr for freedom as he and other prominent conservatives gathered on Sunday evening to honour the slain conservative political activist whose work they say they must now advance.

The memorial service for Mr Kirk, whom Mr Trump credits with playing a pivotal role in his 2024 election victory, drew tens of thousands of mourners, including Vice President JD Vance, other senior administration officials, and young conservatives shaped by the 31-year-old firebrand.

“He’s a martyr now for America’s freedom,” Mr Trump said in his tribute. “I know I speak for everyone here today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie. And neither now will history.”

Speakers highlighted Mr Kirk’s profound faith and his strong belief that young conservatives need to get married, build families, and pass on their values to keep building their movement. They also repeatedly told conservative activists, sometimes in confrontational tones, that the best way to honour Mr Kirk was by doubling down on his mission to move American politics further to the right.

“For Charlie, we will remember that it is better to stand on our feet defending the United States of America and defending the truth than it is to die on our knees,” Mr Vance said. “My friends, for Charlie, we must remember that he is a hero to the United States of America. And he is a martyr for the Christian faith.”

Mr Kirk’s assassination at a September 10 appearance on a Utah college campus has become a singular moment for the modern-day conservative movement. It has also set off a fierce debate about violence, decency, and free speech in an era of deep political division.

The shooting has stirred fear among some Americans that Mr Trump is trying to harness outrage over the killing as justification to suppress the voices of his critics and political opponents.

Those close to Mr Kirk prayed as the floors shook from the bass of Christian rock bands. The home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals took on the feel of a megachurch service.

“Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus,” said the Reverend Rob McCoy, Mr Kirk’s pastor.

People began lining up before dawn to secure a spot inside State Farm Stadium west of Phoenix, where Mr Kirk’s Turning Point organisation is based. Security was tight, similar to the Super Bowl or other high-profile events. The speakers delivered their tributes from behind bulletproof glass.

The 63,400-seat stadium quickly filled with people dressed in red, white, and blue, as organisers suggested.

Mr Kirk’s widow, Erika, in her own address, said in the midst of her grief, she was finding comfort that her husband left this world without regrets. She also said she forgives the man charged with killing him.

“My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” said Erika Kirk, who is taking over as Turning Point’s leader. She added, “I forgive him.”

Mr Trump has blamed the radical left for Mr Kirk’s death and threatened to go after liberal organisations, donors, or others who he feels are maligning or celebrating Mr Kirk’s death.

Dozens of people, from journalists to teachers to late show host Jimmy Kimmel, have faced suspensions or lost their jobs as prominent conservative activists and administration officials target comments about Mr Kirk that they deem offensive or celebratory.

The retaliation has, in turn, ignited a debate over the First Amendment, as the Republican administration promises retribution against those who air what are seen as disparaging remarks in the wake of Mr Kirk’s death.

Some speakers at the memorial said Mr Kirk was battling evil and referred often to a vague “they” as the enemy. Others were blunt.

“You have no idea the dragon you have awakened, you have no idea how determined we will be to save this civilisation, to save the West, to save this republic,” said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Mr Kirk was a provocateur who at times made statements that some called racist, misogynistic, anti-immigrant, and transphobic. That has drawn backlash from conservatives who view the criticism as cherry-picking a few select moments to insult the legacy of someone they see as an inspirational conservative leader.

A 22-year-old Utah man, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with killing Mr Kirk and faces the death penalty if convicted of the most serious charges. Authorities have not revealed a clear motive in the shooting, but prosecutors say Robinson wrote in a text to his partner following the shooting that he had enough of Mr Kirk’s hatred.

Turning Point, the group Mr Kirk founded to mobilise young Christian conservatives, became a multi-million-dollar operation under his leadership with enormous reach.

“Charlie’s having some serious heavenly FOMO (fear of missing out) right now,” said Tyler Bower, Turning Point’s chief operating officer, likening the moment to bringing the Holy Spirit into a Trump rally.

The crowd was a testament to the massive influence he accumulated in conservative America with his ability to mobilise young people. Mr Kirk was a MAGA celebrity with a loyal following that turned out to support or argue with him as he travelled the country for events like the one at Utah Valley University, where he was shot.

Mr Kirk grew the organisation, in large part, through the force of his personality and debating chops.

“He slayed ignorance,” said Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. “He cut through lies. He woke people’s minds, inspired people’s hearts, and imparted wisdom every day.”
