'Lack of trust in Ladakh': Sonam Wangchuk says no date has been announced for the next round of talks with the government

New Delhi: Ladakh based activists Sonam Wangchuk The region is “oscillating between trust and distrust” due to the delay in the next round of talks with the Centre, it said on Monday, warning that a prolonged gap risks deepening divisions in the sensitive border area.In a post on X, Wangchuk said that more than two months have passed since the last round of talks on February 4, with no new date announced. “People have become frustrated and demoralized in this sensitive border area,” he said, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to take “timely measures” to resolve the issues.He also warned that the delay was allowing “shadowy entities” to “sow the seeds of Leh-Kargil (Buddhist-Muslim) divide”, raising concerns over social cohesion in the Union Territory.

Cancellation of house arrest raised hopes, but talks stalled

Wangchuk pointed out that it has been a month since his detention under the National Security Act (NSA) was revoked on March 14, a move that had raised hopes of “building mutual trust” and starting “constructive and meaningful dialogue”.He was detained by the government citing law and order concerns following the unrest in Leh in September 2025. His release came with the Centre’s assurance about continued engagement with stakeholders in Ladakh.

Demands remain intact amid calls for flexible talks

Ladakhi groups, including the Leh apex body, have been pressing for statehood and Sixth Schedule status, with Wangchuk saying the demand comes under the Constitution. He has advocated a “flexible approach” to the talks, urging both sides to avoid a “win-lose” outcome.The first round of talks, including October and February meetings between Ladakhi representatives and the Union Home Ministry panel, remained inconclusive, leading to calls for fresh talks.The government has said it is committed to addressing the concerns of Ladakh through dialogue and mechanisms such as the High Powered Committee. It emphasizes the need to maintain peace, stability and mutual trust in the region.

Dacre Montgomery says OCD was the ‘most relatable’ part of his villainous role in ‘Faces of Death’

Dacre Montgomery says OCD was the 'most relatable' part of his villainous role in 'Faces of Death'.
Dacre Montgomery found his role as a killer in the new ‘Faces of Death’ movie relevant because of his own experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He is associated with the subtle nature of the character and attention to detail, a trait he brings to all his performances. Director Daniel Goldhaber felt that Montgomery’s personal relationship was important in shaping the villain.

dacre montgomery Considering his ‘Faces of Death’ villain role. The actor says that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was the most relatable part of the role. Australian actor stars opposite ‘Euphoria’ star barbie ferreira‘ as Arthur in the new horror film, who recreates and uploads videos of the murders shown in the 1978 film of the same name.

Dacre Montgomery says OCD was the most relatable part of the character

Speaking with People, Montgomery shared that what she found most relatable about her masked and red contact-wearing killer was her experience with OCD. “Certainly the thing about Arthur that was relevant to me was, to be honest, OCD,” he says. “It’s definitely my thing. I live with it and manage with it.”Elaborating on what he found relevant about the villain, the ‘Stranger Things’ alum says, “All the characters I’ve played have that kind of meticulousness and attention to detail, but he’s very methodical.”Montgomery said of Arthur, “By the time you see him in the movie, he’s halfway through executing his plan and he’s put a lot of thought into it.” “And I think I can definitely relate to not having to work toward a murderous plot in my life, but definitely just the attention to detail thing, I felt like I connected with it, yes, in a big way.”

‘Faces of Death’ director believes Dacre Montgomery was best suited for the role

Director of ‘Faces of Death’ Daniel Goldhaberwho also co-wrote the film with Issa Mazzei, says that this overlap in Montgomery and her on-screen killer helped craft the final look of the character. According to the filmmaker, if the role of Arthur had been played by another actor he would have looked very different. “I met with a handful of people for this film,” Goldhaber told the outlet. “As soon as I met Dacre, I felt like it just had to be him because everyone else… they came to this character they were talking about like no one else, like this guy they’d seen in the media. Dacre came in and was like, ‘Here are all the ways I personally relate to Arthur.’ “‘Faces of Death’, which also stars Charli XCX, Josie Tota, Aaron Holiday and Jermaine Fowler, will be released on April 10.

‘The enemy will be caught in a deadly whirlpool’: Iran claims ‘complete control’ over Strait of Hormuz

'The enemy will be caught in a deadly whirlpool': Iran claims 'complete control' over Strait of Hormuz
Image used for representative purposes

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed its extensive control over the Strait of Hormuz, even indicating that civilian maritime traffic is allowed under regulated conditions.In a statement quoted by AFP, the Guards’ naval command said, “All traffic … is under the full control of the armed forces,” with footage showing ships targeted through the crosshairs. The warning was further extended with the message, “If the enemy makes a wrong move he will be caught in a deadly whirlpool in the straits.”

Iran Army’s most lethal warning to America; ‘One wrong step will turn Hormuz into a deadly whirlpool’

This statement came after the US President donald trump Ordered a US naval blockade of the strategic waterway, a move that sharply increased tensions in the region.Despite harsh rhetoric, the IRGC tried to downplay fears of a complete shutdown. In a separate communication, it said that, “contrary to the false claims of some enemy authorities”, the Strait of Hormuz “is open to the harmless passage of civilian vessels in compliance with specific relevant regulations”. However, it stopped short of clarifying what those rules included.The statement also drew a clear red line on troop movement, warning that, “Any military ship that intends to proceed towards the Strait of Hormuz under any pretext will be considered a violation of the ceasefire and will be dealt with severely.”Trump, meanwhile, outlined a long-term objective in a social media post, indicating that Washington aims to clear the strait of mines and restore full commercial access. Until then, he stressed, Iran should not benefit economically from its hold on the route.Iran’s effective blockade of the strait began after the conflict with the US and Israel erupted on February 28, disrupting one of the world’s most important oil transit corridors and sending global energy prices soaring.Although a two-week ceasefire was agreed upon last week, its durability remains uncertain, especially after the recent collapse of US-Iran talks in Islamabad after Vice President JD Vance, who was leading the delegation, left Islamabad.

Kabir admits, ‘1,000 crore BJP deal’ video is real; TMC asked questions to PM Modi. india news

Kabir admits, '1,000 crore BJP deal' video is real; TMC raised questions on PM Modi

Kolkata: Suspended Trinamool MLA Humayun Kabir has admitted that a video released by the party – purportedly showing him demanding Rs 1,000 crore from the BJP and calling Muslims “naive” – ​​is authentic, but alleged that it was selectively edited from a 51-minute recording. The admission, which follows PM Narendra Modi’s comments on TMC circulating AI-generated clips, has handed Trinamool fresh ammunition against the BJP ahead of the Bengal elections. Kabir said, “The video is true, but only 19 minutes of the 51-minute conversation is shown. I was talking to two persons – one claimed to be a sadhu from Siliguri, the other claimed to be a journalist from Delhi. I have the entire video to support my claims.” He alleged that TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee had organized a sting operation in which a person “disguised as a Maharaja” and a Delhi-based journalist were sent to trap him. The 19-minute clip, titled ‘The Reality of HK’, has not been independently verified. “I will identify them and take legal action,” he said. I have six lawyers ready.” He said, adding that the recording took place on December 19, 2025, at his flat in Berhampur. “There is no footage of me meeting any BJP member – neither Modi, nor Shah,” he said. TMC was quick to use this admission to target BJP. “When Kabir himself has said that the video is real, why did the PM call it AI-generated?” a party official asked. CM Mamata Banerjee pounced on the admission. “You are seeing how a deal worth Rs 1,000 crore has been made to divide Hindus and Muslims. The person in the video is saying it is real – how will it be covered up now?” he asked at a rally in Onda, Bankura. This controversy has already caused political damage. AIMIM broke its alliance with Kabir’s AUJP within a day of the video surfacing, saying it “cannot be associated with statements where the integrity of Muslims is questioned” and announced that it would contest the Bengal elections independently. The alliance announced a few weeks ago envisaged AJUP contesting 182 out of 294 seats in Bengal and AIMIM 17 seats.

ब्रिटेन: भुजियाघाट में मिला पोस्टमैन का शव, सवालों में घिरी मौत- हत्या या आत्महत्या? भुजियाघाट में मिला डाकिया का शव।

शनिवार शाम भुजियाघाट के गधेरे में मिले बैलपोखरा के बंदरजुड़ा निवासी नवीन चंद्र (52 वर्ष) की मौत की कहानी हत्या या आत्महत्या में उलझी हुई है। उनकी बड़ी बेटी भावना की शादी 21 अप्रैल को है। वह शादी के कार्ड बांटने के लिए अपने पैतृक गांव सुयालबाड़ी (अल्मोड़ा) जाने के लिए घर से निकले थे।

शुक्रवार रात को परिवार के लोगों से भी बात की। कहा कि रात भवाली में गुजारेंगे और शनिवार सुबह निकलेंगे। बातचीत के बाद मोबाइल बंद हो गया। बाद में उसका शव भुजियाघाट में मिला। शरीर पर किसी प्रकार की कोई चोट के निशान नहीं मिले। हालाँकि, कुछ हिस्सों पर फिसलन के निशान हैं। ऐसे में सवाल उठ रहे हैं कि आखिर नवीन कैसे फिसल गए. इससे भी बड़ा सवाल यह उठ रहा है कि जब उसे सुयालबाड़ी जाना था तो वह भुजियाघाट कैसे पहुंच गया। उसका फोन भी बरामद नहीं हुआ.

आधार कार्ड से हुई पहचान

जल पुलिसकर्मी प्रताप टीम के साथ तालाब पर पहुंचे तो नवीन का शव पानी में था। मुड़े हुए पैरों के साथ पाया गया. जिस स्थान पर वह डूबा वहां आठ से दस फीट पानी है। पानी में ही उसके काले बैग में आधार कार्ड मिला, जिससे पहचान हुई। बैग में मिले शादी के कार्ड पर लिखे प्रिंटिंग प्रेस के नंबर से परिजनों से संपर्क किया। उसके चचेरे भाई धीरज गुणवंत ने व्हाट्सएप पर भेजी गई फोटो से उसकी पहचान की। धीरज ने बताया कि नवीन चंद्र कोटाबाग के पवलगढ़ डाकघर में पोस्टमैन के पद पर तैनात थे। उनकी तीन बेटियां हैं. रविवार को पोस्टमार्टम के बाद शव परिजनों को सौंप दिया गया।

पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट का इंतजार है. इसके बाद ही अगली कार्रवाई की जाएगी। मोबाइल की भी तलाश की जा रही है. इसके अलावा नंबर की सीडीआर भी जारी की जा रही है. जांच पूरी होने पर सच्चाई सामने आ जायेगी. -अमित कुमार सैनी, पुलिस क्षेत्राधिकारी हल्द्वानी

शादी का ऐसा खेल आपने नहीं देखा होगा, दूल्हा असली, दुल्हन नकली… फिर नकली पुलिस ने आकर मचा दिया हंगामा.

गोरखपुर समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के गोरखपुर जिले से एक सनसनीखेज मामला सामने आया है, जहां शादी के नाम पर संगठित धोखाधड़ी और लूट का खुलासा हुआ है. इस गिरोह ने पहले एक परिवार को फर्जी शादी का लालच देकर शादी की रस्में पूरी करवाईं और फिर फर्जी पुलिस बनकर धमकी देकर लाखों रुपये ऐंठ लिए. पुलिस के मुताबिक, पूरी घटना एक सोची-समझी साजिश का हिस्सा थी, जिसमें अलग-अलग भूमिका में कई लोग शामिल थे. जांच के बाद पुलिस ने इस गिरोह के 7 आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया है.

रिश्ता तय करने के नाम पर खेल शुरू हुआ
जानकारी के मुताबिक, राजस्थान के कोटा के रहने वाले मुकेश मीना अपने भाई की शादी के लिए रिश्ता ढूंढ रहे थे। इसी दौरान उसकी मुलाकात हरियाणा के बिचौलिए राजू शर्मा से हुई। राजू ने उसे गोरखपुर की तीन लड़कियों की तस्वीरें दिखाईं और उनमें से एक लड़की पसंद आने पर रिश्ता तय हो गया। इसके बाद परिवार शादी की बारात के लिए गोरखपुर पहुंचा।

नकली शादी और रस्मों का पूरा ड्रामा
12 मार्च को, राजू शर्मा परिवार को गोरखपुर ले आए, जहां हिस्ट्रीशीटर अंकुर सिंह के घर पर शादी की रस्में आयोजित की गईं। इसी दौरान अंकुर की कथित चाची शैला देवी लड़की को ले आई। जांच में पता चला कि शैला देवी ने मौसी बनने के लिए 20 हजार रुपये लिये थे. घर में शादी का पूरा माहौल बन गया और जयमाल तक की रस्में पूरी की गईं, जिससे परिवार को यकीन हो गया कि शादी ठीक से हो रही है.

‘Weak on crime’: Donald Trump criticizes Pope Leo over ‘enough war’ statement on Iran

'Weak on crime': Donald Trump criticizes Pope Leo over 'enough war' statement on Iran

us President donald trump Pope Francis on Monday criticized Leo XIV, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy,” escalating tensions between the White House and the Vatican.Trump criticized the Pope’s stances on global issues, particularly accusing him of being soft on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and opposing US military actions abroad. He also took aim at the Pope’s comments about the Trump administration, saying Leo had exposed the “fear” of his presidency by ignoring restrictions on churches during the COVID pandemic.“Pope Leo is weak on crime, and terrible at foreign policy. He talks about the “fear” of the Trump administration, but doesn’t mention the fear that the Catholic Church and all other Christian organizations had when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everyone else just for holding church services, even going out, and staying ten or twenty feet away,” said the US president on Truth Social.The US President further claimed that he did not want a Pope who, in his view, supported Iran acquiring nuclear weapons or criticized US actions in countries such as Venezuela. Defending his own record, Trump said his administration has achieved record-low crime levels and strong stock market performance, insisting he is fulfilling the mandate of his election victory. “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have nuclear weapons. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that the United States invaded Venezuela, a country that was sending massive amounts of drugs into the United States and, worse, was emptying our country of our prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and murderers. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because that’s exactly what I was elected to do. Landslides, setting record low numbers in crime and creating the largest stock market in history,” he added in a lengthy post on the social media platform.

.

In a personal dig, Trump said he liked the Pope’s brother, and described him as associated with his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement. He also alleged that Leo’s promotion to the papacy was unexpected and suggested that it was influenced by his own presidency.Trump further took a dig at the Pope, calling on him to “get his act together” and focus on religious leadership rather than politics, warning that such positions are harming the Catholic Church.Later, speaking to reporters, Trump took more of a dig at the Pope, saying, “I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. I think he likes crime… We don’t like a Pope who says it’s OK to have nuclear weapons. We don’t want a Pope who says it’s OK to have crime in our cities. I don’t like that. I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo. He’s a very liberal guy, and he’s a guy who doesn’t believe in deterrence.” Crime. He’s a guy who doesn’t think we should mess with a country that wants nuclear weapons so they can blow up the world. I am no fan of Pope Leo…” Pope Leo XIV issued a strong appeal for peace on Saturday, urging world leaders to end ongoing conflicts and reject what he described as a growing culture of power and aggression. “Enough of the idolatry of self and wealth! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!” The 70-year-old American pope warned against what he called “the illusion of omnipotence” that is becoming increasingly unpredictable and dangerous.Also read: Donald Trump intends to launch limited attacks on Iran after talks failCalling for a shift towards dialogue, Leo said leaders should choose dialogue over militarization. He said, “We shout to them: Stop! It’s time for peace! Sit at the table of negotiation and mediation – not at the table where rearmament is planned and lethal action is decided.” He also cautioned against resorting to religion to justify violence, saying that even “God’s holy name… is being dragged into discourses of death,” and stressed that “true strength is shown in serving life.”The comments come amid broader disagreements between the two leaders, with Pope Leo recently urging restraint and diplomacy in global conflicts, including the current tensions involving Iran.
