NEW DELHI: In response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, including a Nepali national, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified their crackdown on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives. On Friday night, five homes belonging to terrorists were demolished across Shopian, Kulgam, and Pulwama districts. Among those targeted was LeT commander Shahid Ahmed Kutte, whose residence in Chotipora was reduced to rubble; he is linked to various anti-national activities over the past few years. Other homes destroyed included those of terrorists Zahid Ahmed, Ahsan Ul Haq, Ehsan Ahmad Sheikh, and Haris Ahmad, with some houses containing explosives. Following the attack, which involved multiple gunmen opening fire in Baisaran Valley, authorities have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, offering a reward for information on two Pakistani nationals suspected of involvement. Prime Minister Modi has vowed to hold accountable all responsible for the attack.

Haider, who entered India illegally with her four children, has publicly appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to allow her to remain in India, stating, "I was Pakistan's daughter, but now I'm India's daughter-in-law." Her lawyer argues that she should be exempt from the visa suspension, claiming her citizenship is now tied to her Indian husband, with whom she has a daughter, Bharti Meena. The Indian government has instructed all Pakistani nationals in the country to leave before their visas expire, heightening Haider's fears of deportation.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 1 pmeznews.inA recent review by seismologists at Los Alamos National Laboratory indicates that some earthquakes may be misidentified as clandestine underground nuclear tests. Led by Joshua Carmichael and published in the *Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America*, the study highlights the difficulty in distinguishing between natural seismic events and nuclear explosions due to their similar seismic signals. Advanced detection techniques, which analyze the ratio of compressional (P) waves to shear (S) waves, have improved differentiation, yet the study reveals that overlapping waveforms can significantly hinder detection. For instance, a buried explosion's detection rate drops from 97% to 37% when masked by an earthquake occurring nearby. The findings raise concerns about underestimating low-magnitude seismicity, particularly in regions with active seismicity like North Korea, where increased seismic activity near test sites has been observed. Overall, the research suggests a need for reevaluation of how seismic data is interpreted in the context of nuclear test monitoring.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 12 pmeznews.inAssam Police have arrested eight individuals, including Md Aminul Islam, an MLA from the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), following comments perceived as supportive of Pakistan after a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the arrests, stating that Assam will not tolerate any support for Pakistan in the wake of such attacks. The crackdown, which included six arrests on Friday and two on Thursday, targeted individuals who made social media posts deemed inflammatory. Islam's remarks suggested that recent attacks were government conspiracies, prompting police action under multiple charges. AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal has distanced the party from Islam’s statements, emphasizing a united front against terrorism and affirming that such acts defame Islam. Islam has been remanded to police custody for four days following his court appearance.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 12 pmeznews.inAdil Ahmed Thoker, a key figure in the April 22 Pahalgam massacre that resulted in 26 deaths, is believed to have returned to India after spending six years in Pakistan. Originally from Gurre village in Anantnag, Thoker left India in 2018 on a student visa, reportedly showing signs of radicalization prior to his departure. During his time in Pakistan, he underwent training with the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Thoker re-entered India in October 2024, crossing the Line of Control with a group that included Pakistani national Hashim Musa, another suspect in the attack. On the day of the massacre, Thoker and his accomplices targeted tourists in Baisaran, asking victims about their religion before opening fire. Thoker has since been named one of the principal suspects, with authorities offering a reward for information leading to his capture. Security forces are actively searching for him and his associates.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 11 ameznews.inPakistani Hindu refugees in India are increasingly anxious as a deadline approaches for Pakistani nationals to leave the country following a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir. India issued a Sunday ultimatum for Pakistani citizens to depart after terrorists killed 26 civilians, although long-term visas for Hindu refugees remain valid. Many refugees, who fled religious persecution in Pakistan, fear returning could put their lives at risk. At the Eklavya Bhil Basti refugee colony in Rajasthan, families expressed their distress, with one refugee, Kheto Ram, stating that he would rather die in India than return to what he described as a "hell like Pakistan." Another refugee echoed this sentiment, pleading not to be sent back after having left everything behind. A recent report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom highlights the deteriorating conditions for religious minorities in Pakistan, further amplifying their fears.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 11 ameznews.inBENGALURU: Kannada actress Ranya Rao has been charged under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (COFEPOSA) in a gold smuggling case, according to sources. The Central Economic Intelligence Bureau invoked the Act, following recommendations from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), which is investigating the case. This means Rao, arrested on March 3 for allegedly smuggling 14.2 kilograms of gold worth over Rs 12.56 crore, will not be eligible for bail for one year. The DRI's investigation suggests Rao was involved in hawala transactions with co-accused Sahil Sakaria Jain, allegedly disposing of 49.6 kg of gold and transferring Rs 38.4 crore to Dubai. Additionally, a special team has been formed to investigate the role of her stepfather, DGP Ramachandra Rao, in the case. Rao and the other accused are currently detained at Bengaluru Central Prison.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 10 ameznews.inIn a significant diplomatic move, the Pakistani flag has been removed from the historic table at the Himachal Pradesh Raj Bhawan, where the Simla Agreement was signed in 1972, just a day after Pakistan suspended the accord in response to India's actions following the Pahalgam terror attack. The Simla Agreement, aimed at establishing peace and delineating the Line of Control, has been previously violated by Pakistan. Islamabad's suspension of the agreement comes after over 50 years, with claims that any diversion of water under the Indus Water Treaty would be deemed an "Act of War." This decision follows a deadly attack in Baisaran Valley, which killed 26 people, prompting India to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty and close the Attari-Wagah border. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to identify and punish those responsible for the attack, escalating tensions between the two nations.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 10 ameznews.inPakistani troops have once again violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control, marking the second instance of unprovoked fire in two nights, amid escalating tensions following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead. The Indian Army reported multiple firing incidents from Pakistani posts and responded appropriately, with no casualties on either side. The recent ceasefire violations are seen as provocations following India's stringent measures in response to the Pahalgam massacre, for which the Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty and taken a hardline stance against terrorism, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowing to pursue those responsible. Diplomatic relations have soured further, with both nations withdrawing staff and halting visa services, while cross-border travel is unlikely to resume until tensions ease.

He referred to the recent attack as "bad" and noted that such tensions have existed along the border for 1,500 years. Despite the ongoing strife, Trump expressed confidence that both nations would eventually find a resolution. In response to the attack, India has announced a series of retaliatory measures against Pakistan, further escalating the already fraught relations between the two countries.
