New update on Indian-origin man who changed name to live in US: Judge cancels Gurdev Singh Sohal’s citizenship
An Indian man became a US citizen by changing his identity in 2005 but was caught through fingerprints in 2020.
The Justice Department had filed a civil denaturalization complaint against an Indian-origin man who changed his identity to obtain US citizenship. A federal judge has ruled in favor of the DOJ and ordered him to revoke the citizenship of a man he said committed immigration and identity fraud.Gurdev Singh Sohal, also known as Dev Singh and Buta Singh Sundu, became a naturalized US citizen in 2005. After living in the US continuously for 3-5 years on a Green Card, a person becomes a naturalized citizen of the US.But Sohal was ordered deported in 1994 when he went by his first name, Dev Singh. Instead of leaving America, he took on a new identity, new date of birth, new date of entry into the United States, and became Sohal with an entirely new background. Sohal was naturalized under a new and assumed identity. Sohal concealed his prior immigration history under the Dev Singh identity in any of his immigration applications or proceedings under the new identity.In 2020, fingerprint analysts confirmed that the two were the same person.On April 13, the court found that Sohal obtained his US citizenship illegally because his unlawful acts by concealing his prior identity made him unable to show that he had inherently good moral character.“This case demonstrates the strength and commitment of this Administration to ensure the sanctity of American citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “The collaboration between the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security reflects a strong partnership to protect the country from immigration and identity fraud.”Sohal’s case was the ninth denaturalization action since January 20, 2025, when the department filed it.

देहरादून के पटेलनगर कोतवाली क्षेत्र में सोमवार देर शाम एक भाजपा नेता की कार से कुचलकर हत्या की कोशिश और फिर अपहरण का सनसनीखेज मामला सामने आया है। घटना से इलाके में दहशत फैल गयी.

Yankees pitcher Cam Schlitler received threats before Fenway Park debut, fears ignored before Red Sox clash | mlb news
The rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox is already one of the most intense in baseball. But this time the focus has gone off the field. Young pitcher Cam Schlitler is preparing for his first game at Fenway Park, and the buildup has taken an uncomfortable turn.Before stepping onto the mound, Schlitzer revealed that he and his family had received threats from Red Sox fans. Despite this, he is not letting it dominate him. Instead, he is choosing to stay focused on his game and lean on his past performance against Boston as he enters one of the toughest environments in baseball.
Cam Schlitler remains focused despite past threats Fenway Park debut
Cam Schlitler spoke openly about the situation and kept his response calm and clear. “I have seen things like this before,” he said. It comes with rivalry. I’m not going to let it distract me or affect my pitching.” He also said he doesn’t feel the need to involve law enforcement right now, instead choosing to keep his focus on baseball.Interestingly, Schlitzer grew up as a Red Sox fan. Which makes this moment even more unique for them. Now, he’s walking into Fenway Park as a Yankees pitcher, knowing the crowd won’t back down. Fans are expected to be noisy, and there is even concern about objects being thrown or rude comments coming from the stands.Still, Schlitler’s numbers show why he’s confident. He currently has a 2-1 record with a 1.95 ERA in five games this season. He has dismissed 36 batsmen in just 27.2 innings. These are strong numbers for a young pitcher stepping into a high-pressure situation.His past against Boston also gives him confidence. In last season’s AL Wild Card Series, he threw eight scoreless innings and recorded 12 strikeouts. That performance proved he can handle big moments even against tough opponents.As he prepares for his Fenway debut, all eyes will be on how he handles both the crowd and the game. The Yankees will rely on him to remain cool, while Red Sox fans will try to make it as difficult as possible.For Schlitler, the plan is simple. Block out the noise, trust her ability, and let her voice speak.
‘Make it harder for them to live and reproduce’: Greg Bovino says there are 100 million illegal people in the US and ‘they all need to go’
Greg Bovino was removed from his post in January following a controversial incident involving the deaths of two US citizens during a federal operation.
A former US Border Patrol commander has called for sweeping immigration measures, saying life should be made so difficult for undocumented immigrants that they are forced to leave the country.Greg Bovino, who recently retired, made controversial comments in a video interview in which he claimed that current anti-immigration enforcement efforts are not strong enough. He said, “We need an increase of DHS agents in all major cities. We need to make it so difficult for them to live, work, reproduce, do anything in the United States that they have no choice but to self-deport.”He also rejected the focus on targeting serious criminals, warning that it sends the wrong message. “They should have incentives to self-deport. Saying we are targeting ‘the worst people’ is signaling to most illegals that they are safe from deportation,” Bovino said.Going further, he claimed that the scale of undocumented immigration is much larger than publicly available statistics. “There’s still a lot of work to be done… They all need to go. We’re talking about potentially 100 million people who are still living here illegally.”Bovino previously played a key role in early immigration actions under President Donald Trump, overseeing operations in blue cities including Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis. He was later reassigned to California following a controversial incident in January in which two US citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretty, were killed by ICE agents.He retired at the end of March, after which his access to official government social media accounts was revoked. However, he has been active online through a personal account.In recent days, Bovino courted controversy for publicizing a blog post in which he was praised as “Commandant Greg Bovino” and his policies were described as “support for mass deportation.” The article was written under the name “Federale”, an anonymous person associated with extremist online content.The account that authored the article had a history of posting racist and anti-Semitic content, including praise of Adolf Hitler and use of offensive profanity. The anonymous author is linked to platforms associated with white nationalist views, the Daily Beast reports.This adds to Bovino’s earlier criticism. He has previously been accused of using offensive language about colleagues and appeared in a government video that criticized some of the imagery compared to Nazi symbolism.
‘Demand a public apology’: BJP moves Election Commission against Mallikarjun Kharge over ‘terrorist’ remarks, demands action under election code of conduct. india news
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wrote a letter on Tuesday Election Commission of India (EC) is seeking action against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge over his “terrorist” remarks Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party termed Kharge’s remarks as a “grossly derogatory” statement and a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).In a formal complaint to the Election Commission, the BJP wrote: “As has been widely reported, Mr Kharge, while addressing a conference, has called Hon’ble Shri Narendra Modi ‘he is a terrorist.’ “This comment has been widely circulated in print, television and digital media, which has great potential to vitiate the election environment.”The party argued that such comments amounted to “extreme personal condemnation” and violated the standards of campaign discourse mandated under the MCC, which is in force in the electoral state of Tamil Nadu.Earlier in the day, Kharge had courted controversy by calling PM Modi a “terrorist” while criticizing the AIADMK-BJP alliance in Tamil Nadu during a press conference. However, later, the Congress chief clarified that he meant that the PM was “terrorizing people and political parties” and insisted that he had not literally called him a terrorist. Now BJP has given a sharp response by going to the Election Commission regarding its five-point demand.The BJP urged the Election Commission to “take immediate cognizance of the statement which prima facie violates the Model Code of Conduct” and sought directions to Kharge to issue a “public apology/retraction” or face appropriate campaign sanctions.It also called for punitive action under provisions of the Indian Judicial Code, including sections 175, 171/174, and 356(1). The party said: “Calling a political leader contesting an election a ‘terrorist’ is not a mere policy criticism; it is a serious allegation touching personal character and conduct.”Furthermore, the BJP requested the Election Commission to “immediately stop further dissemination of the disputed statement in campaign material and digital campaign” and direct the media and social media platforms to remove such content.It also urged the election body to “pass such orders as necessary to maintain the dignity of the electoral process and ensure a free, fair, peaceful and issue-based campaign.”“Such rhetoric lowers the level of campaign discourse, inflames emotions and undermines free and fair elections,” the letter said.The party further claimed that “branding a political opponent in criminal-terrorist terminology in front of voters is an attempt to distort voter choice through fear, demonization and false personal branding rather than legitimate political persuasion.”The complaint came hours after the intensive operation in Tamil Nadu ended on Tuesday evening. The Election Commission has not yet issued its reply to BJP’s letter.

MS Dhoni’s net session boosts CSK’s morale for Mumbai clash
MS Dhoni has given hope to Chennai Super Kings as they prepare for the El Clasico clash against Mumbai Indians. The former Indian captain has returned to the nets this time wearing wicket-keeping gloves. Dhoni, who has been away from the field this season due to a calf muscle strain, remained out of action for the first two weeks of the tournament.
Despite being absent from the matches, Dhoni has been actively training in the nets Even went to Hyderabad with CSK team for the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, he did not participate in the game, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his return to the league.
On Tuesday, April 21, CSK shared a video of Dhoni practicing in the nets wearing gloves. The CSK legend looked excited and made fun of the batsman after stumping him. Full video is available to watch.
No clarity on Dhoni’s return
There is no confirmation from CSK yet regarding when Dhoni will return to the field. Questions remain about whether Dhoni will be a regular in the starting eleven or will he be used as an impact option when Chennai is batting.
When asked about Dhoni’s return, batting coach Michael Hussey said, “Not really, I’m not sure.” “He’s progressing well with his rehab, and I’m pleased with how he’s batting.”
Sanjay Manjrekar has expressed concern over how CSK will manage Dhoni’s return.Explaining, “Maybe, but then you have to play Dhoni on the field. And how do you do that? Increasingly, he is finding it difficult to bowl. It was a bit of a joke when he came down to face three or four balls and the coverage publicized it as ‘What an innings’. It lasted four balls.”
Manjrekar added, “So that’s not possible now, and it’s never going to be a long-term solution. I can’t pretend to know how Ruturaj felt when MS was on the field but not captaining, when he wasn’t there at all.”
Dhoni has a strong record against Mumbai Indians, having played 44 matches and scored 772 runs at an average of over 35.

India-Germany strategic partnership: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh visits Germany to strengthen strategic ties
Three months after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to India, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is in Germany on a three-day visit. Merz visited India to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the India-Germany strategic partnership. Both countries are working towards greater defense cooperation. During Chancellor Merz’s visit in January, the two countries signed a defense industrial cooperation roadmap. The roadmap focused on co-development and co-production of defense hardware. Defense relations between the two largest economies are based in the 2006 Defense Cooperation Agreement and Inter-Governmental Cooperation (IGC).During his visit to the Western European country, Rajnath Singh is scheduled to meet his German counterpart Boris Pistorius. The two leaders are expected to review existing defense cooperation initiatives and identify new areas where the two countries can cooperate. The Defense Minister will meet representatives of the German defense industry and promote co-production under the Make in India initiative.Defense cooperation between India and Germany began in the 1950s. The first symbol of this relationship was the production of the Shaktiman truck, known as the 3-Ton in the Indian Armed Forces. The Shaktiman truck was a licensed copy of the German MAN design. Production of this vehicle began at the Vehicle Factory Jabalpur (VFJ) in 1959 and ceased in 1996, with a total of 75,000 trucks made, according to Jane’s.Another iconic symbol of this cooperation is the Dornier-228. The aircraft is the workhorse of the Indian Air Force’s light fixed-wing transport fleet. The Navy and Coast Guard largely use the same aircraft for maritime patrol.This cooperation extends below the waves, as India’s Shishumar class submarines were acquired from Germany. India is currently in the final stages of cost negotiations with German firm ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) for its procurement. Six Type-214 diesel-electric submarines equipped with Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system under Project-75I. These state-of-the-art submarines can remain underwater for longer periods of time than other conventional submarines, allowing them to become more stealthy. based in hyderabad VEM Technologies has signed an agreement with TKMS to manufacture heavyweight torpedoes in India..With Germany and other NATO members under pressure to increase defense budgets and the United States threatening to leave the alliance, European countries are considering new strategic options. The pace of expansion of India-Germany partnership is strong. With strategic goals and a mature industrial sector, the partnership between India and Germany can shape undersea dominance, defense electronics and co-produced platforms, contributing to Indo-Pacific stability and genuine strategic autonomy for both sides.
