J-K Crime Branch files chargesheet against health worker over alleged forged Class 10 certificate
Jammu, Oct 24: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Jammu on Saturday filed a chargesheet against a health department employee for allegedly securing a government job as a dental assistant using a forged Class 10 certificate nearly two decades ago, an official said. The chargesheet was filed against the employee, Sohan Lal Singh, and his deceased father, Veer Singh, before the court of the fourth Additional Munsiff, Jammu, in a case registered last year, a Crime Branch spokesperson said. The case originated from a communication received from the CID Headquarters, Jammu and Kashmir, alleging that Singh had been working as a dental assistant at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Arnia, Jammu, for nearly two decades on the basis of a fraudulent matriculation certificate purportedly issued in Bihar or Uttar Pradesh, the spokesperson said. The investigation revealed that Singh had passed Class 8 but had never cleared the Class 10 examination through his school, he said. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Jammu, confirmed erasures and chemical alterations in the mark sheet, while school records revealed discrepancies in his date of birth, the spokesperson said. Statements and other evidence corroborated that Singhs father, who has since died and worked as a driver in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, had allegedly procured forged documents for his minor son. The falsified records were subsequently used to establish his eligibility for dental assistant training and secure an appointment through the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board, he said. The spokesperson said offences under various sections of law had been established against the accused based on the evidence collected during the investigation. The chargesheet has been filed for judicial determination, he added.

U.S. intelligence warns Iranian plots to kill Americans are in 'advanced stages'
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton warned Friday that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel abroad, with plots to kill Americans reaching advanced stages in the Middle East and other countries. The warning, contained in an unclassified memo that was sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and obtained by CBS News, comes as the State Department adjusts staffing at diplomatic posts across the Middle East , and the U.S. military pares back its footprint in the region, amid concerns about direct threats from Iran and threats from the Iranian-backed Houthi movement in Yemen. The lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries, Clayton wrote. The memo, which was issued as the Trump administration weighs resuming military strikes against Iran, does not identify specific targets or countries where the alleged plots are underway, or indicate whether attacks may be imminent. Clayton said the U.S. intelligence community is working to downgrade sensitive intelligence received through various channels so it can be shared more broadly with State Department personnel. CIA Director John Ratcliffe was copied on the memo. Axios was first to report on the memo. The warning follows a series of precautions at U.S. diplomatic facilities across the region. Earlier this week, the State Department ordered non-essential U.S. embassy personnel and their families to depart Saudi Arabia. Several other American embassies in the region adjusted their staffing under restricted operations status, which allows them to reduce the number of personnel without formally going on ordered departure, CBS News previously reported. When it comes to our staffing at embassies, we constantly evaluate new information about the security environment, a U.S. official told CBS News on Friday. The threat of Houthi attacks and of Iranian terror plots targeting U.S. officials are informing our decisions on staffing adjustments for embassies on RO [Restricted Operations] Status in the region. A U.S. official and a senior U.S. military official also told CBS News this week that the military has been quietly reducing its footprint at posts in the Middle East due to ongoing threats. Houthi militants have stepped up drone and missile attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting oil infrastructure and airports. One strike on Riyadh's King Khalid Airport earlier this month killed at least a dozen people , including a U.S. citizen, and injured hundreds more. Last weekend, U.S. embassies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other countries warned Americans to exercise caution due to Houthi attacks. Although the U.S. and Iran have refrained from striking each other in recent weeks, President Trump has not ruled out restarting hostilities after next month's midterm elections. Iran has also continued to take responsibility for attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. At a campaign rally in Florida on Friday, Mr. Trump suggested the U.S. could launch another operation against Iran if Tehran failed to reach an agreement. We may do another little Epic Fury, or they'll agree, the president said, invoking the name of the U.S. military campaign launched in February.

Indian Americans in Michigan courted as Trump heads to Port Huron
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 24 (IANS) Michigans Indian American community, the largest Asian group in a state that could decide control of Congress, is being courted by Asian American political groups in the closing days of the midterm campaign, as President Donald Trump prepares to rally supporters in Port Huron on Sunday. Trump is scheduled to speak at McMorran Place in Port Huron on Sunday, according to the White House schedule, his third rally in three days after Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday and Perry, Georgia, on Saturday. The AAPI Victory Fund, a super PAC that backs Asian American candidates and voters, held a reception at the Godfrey Hotel in Detroit on October 17 attended by Senator Elissa Slotkin and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Democratic candidate for governor, according to The Oakland Post, Oakland Universitys student newspaper. We established a super PAC, but that was a very explicit recognition, the groups president, Linh Nguyen, told the paper. There was not enough political money thats actually backing and supporting Asian voters and then Asian candidates. Nguyen said states such as Michigan and Georgia, with large Asian American populations and a history as battlegrounds, had become increasingly important to the groups organising. We can be voting for people like Abdul El-Sayed and be proud of doing that, Nguyen said, referring to the Democratic Senate candidate. The groups Michigan endorsements include El-Sayed, Benson, Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II and Indian American state legislator Ranjeev Puri. Indian Americans number about 138,644 in Michigan, the largest Asian ethnic group in the state, according to an AAPI Data fact sheet. The state has about 123,545 eligible Asian American voters. Michigans Indian American population is concentrated in Oakland County suburbs such as Troy, Novi, Canton and Farmington Hills, which fall in or near competitive House districts. The states only Indian American member of Congress, Democrat Shri Thanedar, represents the Detroit-based 13th District. Port Huron, in St. Clair County, lies in a Republican-leaning part of the states Thumb region. Indian American voters have leaned Democratic in recent elections, but Republicans have made gains with some immigrant communities. Both parties are competing this cycle against a backdrop of tighter H-1B visa rules and a surge in anti-Indian rhetoric online. Michigan voters will choose a governor, a US senator and all 13 House members on November 3.

Indian American student says Campus Reform dropped him after anti-bigotry vote
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 24 (IANS) A 21-year-old Indian American student journalist in Texas says the conservative higher-education outlet Campus Reform has ended his role as a correspondent after he publicly said he voted for a Democrat to protest anti-Indian bigotry, a case that has become a flashpoint in the debate over rising hostility towards Indian Americans on the American right. Vasant Bhatt, a political science student at the University of Houston, announced the move in a post on X on Friday. I exercised my constitutional right to vote according to my conscience, spoke out against anti-Indian bigotry, and refused to toe the Republican Party line. My participation in Campus Reform's correspondent program has now been terminated, Bhatt wrote. Losing a place in a program will not make me retract my beliefs or abandon my community, he said. Campus Reform has not commented publicly on Bhatt's claim. Its online profile page for Bhatt, which described him as a Senior Correspondent, no longer appears among the site's author listings. Bhatt drew attention earlier this month when he said he had voted for Democrat James Talarico over Republican Ken Paxton in Texas's US Senate race, saying he was disgusted by the xenophobia and attacks on Indian Americans' identity. Bhatt's Campus Reform biography said he previously interned with Senator Ted Cruz's re-election campaign and worked with the Texas Youth Summit, which it described as one of the largest gatherings of young conservatives in the state. Suhag Shukla, executive director of the Hindu American Foundation, criticised the far-right attacks on Bhatt in a personal post on X, linking them to the climate that preceded the foiled plot at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. Campus Reform is a project of the Leadership Institute, a conservative non-profit based in Virginia that trains young activists. The episode comes amid a wider row over anti-Indian rhetoric in American politics, including the attacks on Indian American candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections and online abuse targeting Indian H-1B workers. Indian American lawmakers have said such rhetoric is spilling into violence, citing the Aurora temple plot. Texas has one of the largest Indian American populations in the country, concentrated in the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth areas.
Indian-American Saritha Komatireddy wins New York Post backing against Letitia James
Digital Desk | New York, Oct 24 (IANS) Indian-American Republican Saritha Komatireddy, who is challenging New York Attorney General Letitia James, has won the endorsement of the New York Post editorial board as early voting opens in the state on Saturday. The Post enthusiastically endorses Saritha Komatireddy over Attorney General Letitia James, the papers editorial board wrote on Friday. Komatireddy is a career prosecutor whos worked under both parties to put away terrorists, cartel members, cybercriminals and other bad guys and now is determined to use all the powers of the state attorney general to crack down on crime, including fraud and corruption, as well as making the streets safe, the editorial said. The headline called James a political hack. The paper also endorsed Republican Bruce Blakeman for governor and Congressman Mike Lawler in the 17th congressional district. Komatireddy, 41, told the Post that her own family had been affected by crime in the city. Weve had a member of my family assaulted in the subway, taking my kids to school. We have a family friend who had a stray bullet come through her bedroom while she was sleeping, she said. New Yorkers dont feel safe, they feel less safe now than when Tish James began as attorney general and the reason is simple: They are less safe now, she said. She stopped doing the job. The editorial quoted James as saying the attorney generals job is focused on civil matters and not criminal matters. As a federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, Komatireddy handled cases involving international terrorism, cybercrime, narcotics trafficking, money laundering and public corruption, the Post has reported. Komatireddy shared the endorsement on X, where she also posted a new campaign ad on homelessness on Friday. Her campaign has been pushing an internal poll by OnMessage Inc., first reported by the Post on October 18, which showed James leading 50.7 per cent to 44.7 per cent. The pollster surveyed 1,000 likely voters from October 12 to 14. Among the one in five respondents who watched the candidates October 8 debate, Komatireddy led 81 per cent to 19 per cent, the poll showed. A Siena survey last month had James ahead by 13 points. The James campaign dismissed the poll. Saritha Komatireddy wouldnt protect New Yorkers from fraudsters or the federal government, because theyre the ones propping up her candidacy, a James campaign spokeswoman told the Post. Trump endorsed her, and shed repay him by looking the other way while he sows chaos in New York. James, a Democrat, was first elected attorney general in 2018 and won a second term in 2022. She drew national attention for her civil fraud case against President Donald Trump and his company. Early voting in New York runs from October 24 to November 1. The general election is on November 3.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Womens network emerges, 3rd taken into custody by Mumbai Crime Branch
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) A suspected network of women has emerged as a significant aspect of the investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car, with the Mumbai Crime Branch taking another woman into custody for questioning. The development comes after the arrest of two women in connection with the case, while investigators continue to pursue suspects across multiple states. According to officials, the woman was brought to the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch for questioning. However, investigators have not yet disclosed her alleged role in the firing incident or the nature of her links to the other accused. Earlier, two women, identified as Radha and Babita, were arrested in Delhi in connection with the case. In a parallel development, the Anti-Extortion Cell arrested three more accused from Sonipat in Haryana on Thursday. Mumbai Police have been conducting raids in different states based on intelligence inputs as part of the ongoing investigation.

Barbaric! Netanyahu Commits Another WAR CRIME; IDF Kills Disabled Syrian In Daraa Raid | Big Chaos
A Syrian village has held a large funeral for Muaz Salama al-Baair, who was shot dead during an Israeli military operation in the Daraa countryside. Local accounts describe al-Baair as a civilian with disabilities. The Israeli military gives a different account, saying troops opened fire because he posed a threat during the operation. Footage from the funeral shows mourners carrying his coffin through the village as chants directed against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ring out. The disputed killing comes amid repeated Israeli military operations inside southern Syria, including incursions into areas of Daraa and Quneitra. Israel says such operations are driven by security concerns and efforts to prevent hostile armed groups from establishing themselves near Israeli-held territory. For communities on the Syrian side, however, al-Baairs death has become another flashpoint as Israeli troops, checkpoints and raids increasingly feature along an already volatile frontier.

Srinagar, Oct 22: The Special Crime Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir on Thursday filed a chargesheet against a former branch manager of J&K Grameen Bank for allegedly cheating customers and misappropriating bank funds in north Kashmir's Kupwara district. In a statement, Crime Branch Kashmir said the chargesheet was filed before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Sogam, Lolab, against Abhisek Prajapat, who had served as branch manager at the bank's Lalpora branch. The case involves alleged financial irregularities during his tenure at the bank's Lalpora, Kanthipora and Kupwara branches. According to the Crime Branch, the investigation found that Prajapat allegedly transferred Rs 1.19 lakh from various customer accounts into his personal bank account under the pretext of loan documentation charges, file fees and other expenses. Investigators also identified the alleged diversion of Rs 25,850 from official bank expenditure accounts, besides Rs 24,100 shown as unwarranted expenditure, causing a reported loss of Rs 49,950 to the bank. The case originated from a complaint filed by the Regional Manager of J&K Grameen Bank, Kupwara, which was forwarded by the Anti-Corruption Bureau to Crime Headquarters for action. Following preliminary verification by the Economic Offences Wing, FIR No. 09/2026 was registered at Police Station Special Crime Wing on May 13, 2026. The Crime Branch said Prajapat had been dismissed from the bank's services on February 13, 2025, following departmental proceedings.
