  • Police find new clues in Shahrukh Khan death threat case

    Police find new clues in Shahrukh Khan death threat case



    The lawyer who issued death threats to Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has reportedly been actively collecting his sensitive details online. 



    The officials, during the investigation, discovered that Faizan Khan, the accused, extensively researched and gathered information about Khan’s son Aryan Khan and their family’s security and movement.     Before threatening to kill the actor and demanding India Rs 5 million in extortion, Faizan complied details through online searches.



    The Bandra police uncovered the findings when they recovered a second mobile phone belonging to the accused.


    Faizan called the Bandra police on November 7 landline and directly threatened to kill Shah Rukh Khan.

    The accused, who have been in judicial custody for 10 days, purportedly dodged and evaded questions related to the collection of such information during his police interrogation.

    The Bandra police came up as prompt responders to securing public figures. The incident is a wake-up call for increased vigilance in the protection of sensitive data in this age of digitalization.

    Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has also faced multiple threats over the years, especially from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. But now, Shah Rukh Khan is in the news for receiving a threatening call from unknown callers, demanding Indian rupees 50 lacs. The call, made on November 5, led to an investigation by police from both Mumbai and Chhattisgarh.

    According to Indian media reports, authorities from both Mumbai and Raipur are now investigating the incident.     Chief Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar confirmed the case, stating that Mumbai Police had informed their Raipur counterparts about the case registered at Bandra Police Station.

    This is not the first time Shahrukh Khan has received threats.

    In October, the actor was also targeted after the success of his films Pathaan and Jawan, prompting Mumbai Police to increase his security to a Y+ level, providing him with six armed personnel for around-the-clock protection.

    Reports printed in Indian media have said that WhatsApp messages sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police stated, “Salman Khan will be killed if the money is not paid.”

    After the fresh threat, a case has been registered against the unknown person who sent the WhatsApp messages while police search for the suspect.

    A 20-year-old man who threatened to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan two days ago was arrested from Noida in Uttar Pradesh.

    According to reports, the 20-year-old had threatened to kill Zeeshan Siddiqui along with Salman Khan.

    Khan’s close friend, Muslim politician, Baba Siddiqui was killed in Mumbai this month.

    The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for Baba Siddiqui’s murder. Apart from this, incidents of firing outside Salman Khan’s residence have also raised concerns about his safety.

  • Taylor Swift got police escort to London gigs after Austria terror plot

    Taylor Swift got police escort to London gigs after Austria terror plot

    US star Taylor Swift got a special police escort for her London concerts after an alleged suicide attack plot led to the cancellation of three performances in Vienna.

    Culture Minister Lisa Nandy denied the singer was given preferential treatment, after reports she had a motorbike escort usually reserved for senior members of the royal family and politicians.

    Her denial comes with the new Labour government under attack for accepting free gifts, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was given six tickets to the Swift concert.

    Starmer, who attended the concert with his wife Victoria, announced last week that he had repaid thousands of pounds worth of gifts including the concert tickets.

    But Nandy said the police escort, first reported by The Sun newspaper, was not the result of pressure from senior politicians.

    “I utterly reject that there’s been any kind of wrongdoing or undue influence in this case,” she told Sky News television.

    The interior minister, Yvette Cooper, would not have insisted “any individual got the top level of private security arrangements. That is an operational matter for the police, not for the government,” she said.

    Other Labour politicians who enjoyed free tickets for the “Eras” tour shows included Education Minister Bridget Phillipson, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Nandy herself.

    The Swift tour wrapped up its European leg in August in London following dates across a dozen countries.

    The last month of the Europe tour, however, was marred by the thwarted Austria attack, with authorities there revealing that an Islamic State sympathiser was planning a deadly attack at a concert in Vienna.

    Three suspects were detained and all three August concert dates in Vienna were cancelled after an investigation conducted with the help of US intelligence.

    According to The Sun report, Swift’s mother and manager threatened to axe the London shows in August unless she received the police escort.

    It alleged that the Met Police agreed after “personal interventions from Cooper and Khan”, stressing that any cancellation would be “economically damaging and embarrassing”.

    The Swift tour had been forecast to boost the UK economy by almost £1 billion ($1.3 billion), Barclays bank said in a study entitled “Swiftonomics”.

    London’s Metropolitan Police told AFP the force was “operationally independent” with decisions taken on the basis of a “thorough assessment of threat, risk and harm and the circumstances of each case”.

  • Suicide bombers given numbing injections, reveals arrested terrorist

    Suicide bombers given numbing injections, reveals arrested terrorist

    An apprehended terrorist belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Rooh Ullah, has revealed that suicide bombers are administered injections to numb them two days before planned attacks.

    In a video statement, the terrorist revealed details about his and other suicide bombers’ training in a seminary in Afghanistan and how they crossed the border to get inside Pakistan.

    He said that he was a student of the seminary Tarteel-ul-Quran in Tortam village in Afghanistan’s Dangam area for one year.

    He’d received the training for 10 days under the supervision of men named Molvi Sibghatullah along with Farooq and Zakir.

    He stated that the injections were administered to suicide bombers two days before their departure so they could no longer understand what was happening around them.

    Rooh Ullah stated that after completion of their training, he, along with four other suicide bombers, travelled to the Afghan border, where a facilitator named Jawad helped them get inside Pakistani territory.

    Then, the group’s responsibility was taken over by another man, Sajjad, who separated the suicide bombers and took Rooh Ullah to a mosque.

    The terrorist had now been instructed to meet another individual, Suleman, whom he got to meet after travelling for one hour.

    Suleman instructed the terrorist to receive a suicide vest from Jameel, who would also guide him about carrying out the attack in a cantonment area.

    Pakistan is witnessing the most significant surge in terrorist attacks over the last two years as it blames the Taliban government in Kabul for not taking action against the TTP.

  • Pakistan approaches international community on radioactive smuggling in India

    Pakistan approaches international community on radioactive smuggling in India

    Pakistan has reached out to the international community over the arrest of a gang charged with smuggling radioactive substances called ‘californium’ in India.
    Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) has questioned how hazardous Sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material was stolen.

    The Bihar Police have arrested a member of a gang smuggling californium, a radioactive chemical that is used to cure cancer. It is reportedly worth RS 17 crore a gram, Indian Media report

    “It is dangerous for such sensitive material in India to be routinely found in the wrong hands. Pakistan reiterates its call for a thorough investigation of these incidents and for adequate measures to prevent their recurrence. Pakistan is gravely concerned at the reports of recurring incidents of theft and illicit sale of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India,” said the Foreign Office.

    Quoting last month’s incident where five individuals with a radioactive device reportedly stolen from Bhabha Atomic Research Center were also found from Dehradun, the FO expressed strong reservations on the developments.

  • Dr. Omer Adil arrested after Gharida Farooqi’s legal complaint

    Dr. Omer Adil arrested after Gharida Farooqi’s legal complaint

    Lahore police have arrested cultural analyst and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Omer Adil after a legal complaint by anchor Gharida Farooqui, who accused Dr. Adil of passing derogatory and obscene remarks against her and other female television hosts.

    In July, during an appearance on the podcast Dil Ki Baat hosted by Zohaib Butt, Dr. Adil went on a misogynistic rant: “These anchors are somehow in touch with high profile Pakistanis. Female anchors are treated in an extraordinary manner. Nobody cares about the male anchor sitting next to the female anchor.”

    Dr Umer Adil added that even their show’s producers have no guts to instruct the women or criticize them on their mistakes. In fact, in those cases, producers leave the show and run away.

    In a statement shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Gharida Farooqui wrote, “Dr. Omer Adil has been arrested after my legal request. Dr. Umar Adil made obscene, vulgar and defamatory allegations against me and all women working in the media on the digital platform; In which especially my name was taken. I gave an opportunity to Dr. Omar Adil in legal proceedings to apologize publicly, but he did not do so. Salute to all the law enforcement agencies who acted on my request for the protection of women. It is hoped that justice will be done and the perpetrators of crimes against women will be brought to an end, and women will get full protection in Pakistan.”

    Farooqui also wrote in her tweet, “This arrest has been made by FIA, and all the officials of Cybercrime Wing Lahore, including DG FIA, deserve a lot of thanks and appreciation. They are doing the legal process in the best way with full professional responsibility.”

    Social media users have shown their support for Farooqui by expressing sympathy and supporting her stance against misogyny and defamation on her X account.

    TLP’s Pir Zaheerul Hassan Shah still at large as police continues hunt

    The News has said that previous media reports of arrests of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) vice emir Pir Zaheerul Hassan Shah turned out to be not true as the police are struggling to arrest him.

    Reportedly, Shah has fled to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa since late Monday when the government tightened the noose around TLP leaders for targeting the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa.

    “We have zeroed in on the cleric. We are not far from getting a hand on him,” said an official to The News.

    Previously, the culprit had announced a head-money of Rs10 million on Qazi Faez Isa in reaction to a decision of a three-member bench in the Mubarak Sani case.

    Meanwhile, FIRs have been filed against more than 1500 TLP members across the Punjab province after the government took a firm stance against the right wing religious party.
