India Expels Second Pakistani Diplomat in Eight Days

India has expelled a second official from the Pakistan High Commission, citing "activities not in keeping with his official status," and has ordered him to leave within 24 hours. This follows the expulsion of another Pakistani diplomat on May 13 for alleged espionage. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) did not specify the charges against the latest official, but it is believed to relate to an ongoing espionage investigation by Punjab Police. These expulsions occur amid rising tensions following India's military operations against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, particularly after a deadly attack in Jammu & Kashmir in April. In a reciprocal move, Pakistan has also declared an Indian diplomat in Islamabad "persona non grata." Despite a recent agreement to cease hostilities, violations have already occurred, exacerbating the strained relations between the two nations. sources

Chennai Girl Hospitalized After Glass in Sealed Drink, Mother Reacts

A young girl in Chennai was hospitalised after mistakenly ingesting glass shards from a sealed boba drink purchased from the Frozen Bottle outlet in Thoraipakkam on April 27. Her mother, Jahnavi Sanghavi, an International History Educator, shared the alarming incident on LinkedIn, detailing how her daughter mistook the glass for ice. Following the incident, the girl experienced vomiting and required further medical attention. Despite assurances from Frozen Bottle's Marketing Lead, Vipul Chaudhary, regarding compensation for medical costs, Sanghavi reported receiving no follow-up after submitting her medical documents over 20 days ago. The company's dismissive response, stating that one incident would not impact their brand, prompted Sanghavi to file a complaint with the consumer court and call for stricter quality control in the food industry. Her post gained traction online, with many urging others to avoid the brand until it demonstrates accountability for consumer safety. sources

Rajasthan Police Arrest Serial Killer Who Fed Victims to Crocodiles

A notorious serial killer known as 'Doctor Death' has been arrested by Delhi Police after evading parole last year. Devender Sharma, 67, was apprehended at an ashram in Dausa, Rajasthan, where he was masquerading as a priest. Convicted in multiple murder cases, Sharma was sentenced to life imprisonment in seven cases and received a death penalty from a Gurgaon court. He gained infamy for dumping victims' bodies in the crocodile-infested Hazara Canal and was involved in a kidney transplant racket that facilitated over 125 illegal procedures. His criminal activities escalated after suffering financial losses in 1994, leading to targeted killings of taxi drivers, whose vehicles he sold in the grey market. Sharma had previously absconded on parole in 2020 and again in August 2023 before being tracked down by police following a six-month operation across several cities. sources

Storm in Delhi-NCR Kills 6, Nearly Hits 200 Fliers

A severe sandstorm and heavy rain in New Delhi last night resulted in at least two fatalities, including a person with disabilities, and left 11 others injured. In Ghaziabad, a 40-year-old man died when a tree fell on him while riding his bike, while another individual perished in Greater Noida due to similar storm-related incidents. The storm also disrupted air travel, with an IndiGo flight bound for Srinagar encountering turbulence, leading to passenger panic, though it landed safely despite reported damage to the aircraft. The storm caused significant property damage, uprooting trees and electricity poles, resulting in power outages across the city. Multiple injuries were reported from incidents involving collapsing balconies and falling debris. Authorities emphasized public safety, temporarily shutting off power in affected areas to prevent electrocution. sources

China's Fighter Jets: A Concern for the US and Taiwan

The recent aerial confrontation between Pakistan and India highlights China's advancing military airpower, suggesting a narrowing gap with the United States. Pakistan claimed that its Chinese-made J-10C fighters downed multiple Indian aircraft, a claim India disputes. While the J-10C lacks full stealth capabilities like the US's F-22 and F-35, it reflects China's significant investment in modernizing its People's Liberation Army Air Force by 2027. Although the US maintains a lead in military aircraft, much of its fleet is aging, while China rapidly increases its production of fifth-generation fighters. Experts warn that China's growing capabilities, particularly in systems integration and geographical advantages, pose a challenge to US dominance in the Indo-Pacific, especially regarding Taiwan. As tensions rise, Taiwan is reassessing its defense strategy, and the US must continue investing in advanced military technology to counter China's ambitions. sources

China's Unconventional Warfare Against India in Northeast Border

Life in Dimapur, Nagaland, may seem normal, but underlying issues reveal decades of decay and turmoil, exacerbated by China's non-conventional warfare strategies. Through its 'Three Warfares'—psychological, public opinion, and legal warfare—China has indirectly waged war against India, leveraging Myanmar as a conduit for smuggling narcotics, weapons, and wildlife. The region suffers from rampant drug addiction and violence, with insurgent groups like the National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) reportedly funded and armed by China. These groups engage in drug trafficking and extortion, contributing to social decay. China's influence in South Asia is evident through its support for Pakistan and Myanmar's military junta, fostering instability in the region. The situation poses serious challenges for India's northeastern states, where armed insurgents and drug problems threaten societal well-being. sources

Over 50 students from Haryana have been arrested in Arunachal Pradesh for their involvement in a mass exam cheating scheme during a recruitment exam conducted by the CBSE for non-teaching positions at the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti.

Ex-US NSA Supports India's Justifiable Operation Sindoor Action

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton stated that India is justified in taking self-defensive actions against terrorist targets in Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, which killed 26 people. Speaking to ANI, Bolton urged Pakistan to control terrorist activities within its borders, warning of severe repercussions if it does not. He expressed concern over the increasing Chinese influence in Pakistan, particularly through military support, which poses a significant threat to India. Bolton noted that India's military response to the Pahalgam attack was more robust than previous actions taken after the 2019 Pulwama attack. India's Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and resulted in over 100 terrorist deaths. In retaliation, Pakistan conducted cross-border shelling and drone attacks, leading to a coordinated Indian response that damaged strategic military assets in Pakistan, culminating in a ceasefire agreement on May 10. sources
