**Tim Allen Moved by Erika Kirk’s Forgiveness in Memorial Speech**

Tim Allen has opened up about how Erika Kirk’s memorial speech “deeply affected” him. On Thursday, Allen took to X to share that he was personally moved by Kirk’s act of forgiving the man who allegedly killed her husband, Charlie Kirk—a forgiveness that has not come as easily for Allen himself.

“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: That man. That young man. I forgive him. That moment deeply affected me,” Allen wrote.

Allen revealed that he has struggled with forgiveness for decades. “I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: I forgive the man who killed my father. Peace be with you all,” he added.

Allen’s father died in 1978 after being hit by a drunk driver. Allen was just 11 years old at the time.

### Erika Kirk’s Message of Forgiveness

At Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday, Erika publicly forgave Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of killing the Turning Point USA founder.

“Charlie wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” Erika said. Quoting scripture, she continued, “Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That young man… I forgive him.”

Erika further explained, “I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”

### The Incident

Charlie Kirk was tragically assassinated at a Turning Point USA event held at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on September 10. Tyler Robinson was arrested and now faces several charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.

**Hundreds Gather for Funeral Services Honoring Slain Northern York County Detectives**

*Red Lion, Pa., September 25, 2025* — Hundreds of police officers gathered on Thursday for a closed funeral service honoring three Northern York County Regional Police detectives who were tragically shot and killed last week. Detectives Cody Michael Becker, Mark Edward Baker, and Isaiah Emenheiser lost their lives in the line of duty while responding to a call involving a stalking suspect.

The service was held at Living Word Community Church in Red Lion, beginning at noon following a motorcade that escorted the detectives’ bodies from a local funeral home. Although the ceremony was closed to the public, the church provided an online stream of the service.

This marks the second time this year that Living Word Community Church has hosted services for officers killed in the line of duty.

**Details of the Incident**

Autopsy results released this week revealed that all three detectives died from multiple gunshot wounds. The attack occurred when the suspect, 24-year-old Matthew James Ruth, opened fire as officers arrived and entered the home of a woman he was accused of stalking. Two other officers were seriously wounded in the exchange of gunfire. Ruth died at the scene.

York County District Attorney Tim Barker stated that Ruth had likely planned to ambush the woman he was stalking.

**Remembering the Officers**

The three detectives were veterans of the Northern York County Regional Police Department and are remembered as dedicated public servants devoted to their families and community.

– **Sergeant Cody Michael Becker**, 39, of Spring Grove, had served on the force for 16 years. A star multisport athlete in high school, Becker was known for his bravery — notably climbing to the second story of a burning building in 2010 to rescue children escaping through a window. He is survived by his wife and two children. A separate public funeral service for Becker will be held Sunday at Spring Grove Area High School.

– **Detective Mark Edward Baker**, 53, of Dover, was a U.S. Army veteran who previously served three years with the Philadelphia Police Department before joining Northern Regional in 2004. He specialized in computer forensics and had been a detective for 15 years. Baker was an Eagle Scout and an active adult Scouting leader. He is survived by his wife and four children; a fifth child predeceased him.

– **Detective Isaiah Emenheiser**, 43, of York, graduated from York College with a degree in criminal justice and served in the U.S. Secret Service before joining Northern Regional. During his more than 20 years with the department, Emenheiser earned multiple honors, including being named officer of the year, and made over 100 DUI arrests in 2010 alone. He was also recognized for his heroism when he rescued a man from a burning mobile home in 2005. Outside of work, Emenheiser enjoyed fitness, home renovations, and coaching youth soccer. He is survived by his wife and two children.

**Community Response**

The tragic loss has deeply affected the Northern York County community and law enforcement agencies throughout the region. Many have expressed condolences and praised the detectives for their dedicated service.

Living Word Community Church’s online streaming of the funeral allowed members of the public and law enforcement officers from across the country to pay their respects.

Mumbai Fraud: Builder Duo Duped Of ₹1.85 Crore In Fake ₹50 Crore Loan Scam; Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Register 2 FIRs

**Mumbai Construction Businessmen Duped of Rs 1.85 Crore in Elaborate Loan Fraud**

In a shocking case of financial fraud, two construction businessmen have been cheated of a total Rs 1.85 crore by scammers posing as loan arrangers promising Rs 50 crore loans for their businesses. The Vinoba Bhave Nagar police have registered two separate FIRs and launched detailed investigations into the matter.

### First Case: Advocate and Brother-in-Law Defrauded of Rs 1.37 Crore

Advocate Prasad Gurunath Shelke (44), a resident of Shirgaon Yadavnagar, Badlapur East, filed a complaint alleging that he and his brother-in-law, Avinash Bhoir, were duped of Rs 1.37 crore.

According to Shelke’s statement, in 2023, Bhoir was seeking a substantial loan to expand his construction business. Shelke approached his friend, Atul Bhopi, who connected him with Khalid Khan, proprietor of S.K.K. Builders and Developers. Khan claimed he could arrange large loans secured only by post-dated cheques, without requiring immediate collateral.

In June 2023, Shelke and Bhoir met Khan, who offered to secure a loan of Rs 50 crore but demanded 1.25% of the loan amount as “stamp duty” charges. Following this, Rs 62.5 lakh was paid in July 2023.

Khan also collected their PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, and cancelled cheques, stating that the loan process would be initiated through Central KYC and the funds credited shortly. He reassured them that the transaction would be legal and under proper RBI approval.

However, by August 2023, no loan had materialized. Upon inquiry, Khan promised the funds would be released by December and requested additional payments to expedite the process. Trusting him, Shelke made further payments into bank accounts linked to Khalid Khan, Rinku Rajguru, and Nimit Digra of Nimit Exim House. A further Rs 75 lakh was paid in cash, bringing the total amount lost to Rs 1.37 crore.

When the loan remained undisbursed, Shelke grew suspicious and filed an official complaint. The police have since named Khalid Khan, Nimit Digra, and Gurudeep Singh alias Rinku Singh Rajput as accused in this financial scam.

### Second Case: Pune Builder Loses Rs 76 Lakh in Similar Fraud

In a separate but similar incident, Pune-based builder Arimardan Ramsumer Singh (43), who runs AMS Buildtech Pvt. Ltd., was allegedly cheated of Rs 76 lakh by Khalid Khan and Nimit Digra.

Singh was introduced to Nimit Digra in August 2023 by a business acquaintance, Awadh Kishore Thakur. Digra presented himself as Khalid Khan’s manager and arranged a meeting with Khan. Khan claimed he could secure a Rs 50 crore loan from SKK International Builders and Developers, located at Premier Residency, Kohinoor City, Kurla (West), Mumbai.

Khan demanded a 2% processing fee for the loan. When Singh stated he could not pay the full amount upfront, he was asked to pay 50% initially.

On September 21, 2023, Singh transferred Rs 11 lakh via RTGS into the finance company’s account. Later, on October 6, he issued an ICICI Bank cheque worth Rs 65 lakh, which was deposited into Nimit Exim House’s account.

Despite these payments, Singh never received the loan. When he demanded a refund, Khan delayed and dodged the repayment. Singh deposited a cheque given by Khan, but it bounced. After repeated follow-ups, Singh managed to recover Rs 28 lakh, but Rs 48 lakh remained unpaid.

Frustrated and convinced he was defrauded, Singh filed an official complaint with the Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Station against Khalid Khan and Nimit Digra.

### Police Action and Investigation

The Vinoba Bhave Nagar police have registered two separate FIRs under Sections 316(2), 318(4), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to these fraud cases and are actively investigating the matter.

**Pune Man Arrested for Cheating Tour Company with Fake Flight Tickets for Dubai Trip**

The police have arrested Tejas Shashikant Vaishnav (31) from Pune for allegedly cheating a tour organizing company by issuing fake flight tickets for a trip to Dubai. It is reported that Vaishnav defrauded the Chaudhary Yatra Company of lakhs of rupees.

According to information received, Chaudhary Yatra Company had organized a trip from Mumbai to Dubai and Abu Dhabi back to Mumbai scheduled between January 16 and 22, 2025. To procure air tickets for 50 pilgrims traveling from Mumbai to Dubai, the tour company assigned the task to Milestone Holidays Pvt. Ltd., located in Sangamner (Ahilyanagar District). The company paid Rs. 10,82,500 through a bank account for the tickets.

Vaishnav, who works in the Pune office of Milestone Holidays Pvt. Ltd., sent supposedly Air India and Indigo flight tickets for all 50 passengers to the tour company. However, on January 16, 2025, when the passengers arrived at Mumbai International Airport, only four tickets were accepted by the airport system, while the remaining 46 were rejected.

Due to this ticketing issue, the Chaudhary Yatra Company had to cancel the entire trip. Subsequently, the company filed a complaint with the Nashik Cyber Police Station on January 18, 2025, accusing Vaishnav of cheating and causing a loss of Rs. 19.82 lakhs.

Dnyaneshwar Mohite, in charge of the Anti-Gunda Squad, revealed that Vaishnav’s involvement was confirmed during the investigation. Acting on the guidance of his superiors, Mohite arrested Tejas Vaishnav from the Baner area of Pune and handed him over to the Nashik Cyber Police.

The operation was successfully conducted under the leadership of Police Commissioner Sandeep Karnik and Police Assistant Kiran Kumar Chavan. The in-charge of the Anti-Gunda Squad, Dnyaneshwar Mohite, along with officers Vijay Suryavanshi, Pradeep Thackeray, Sunil Adke, and Ganesh Bhagwat, jointly contributed to the arrest.

The case highlights the importance of vigilance and verification in travel arrangements to avoid such frauds. The investigation is ongoing.

**Noida Cab Driver Arrested for Verbally Abusing and Threatening Women Passengers**

A cab driver in Noida was arrested on Tuesday, September 23, after a video of him verbally abusing and attempting to attack a group of women passengers with a stick went viral on social media. The incident, reported from Sector 128, has raised serious concerns about the safety of female passengers in the city.

**What Happened?**

According to a detailed Instagram post by passenger Tashu Gupta, five women had booked an Uber cab from Botanical Garden metro station to their office in Sector 128. The vehicle, registered as UP 16 QT 4732, was driven by a man named Brijesh.

Gupta explained that the women requested the driver to take the underpass instead of making a U-turn due to heavy traffic. However, despite their repeated requests, the driver ignored them and took the U-turn.

When the passengers questioned his decision, the driver became aggressive. Gupta quoted him saying in Hindi, “Chup chap se baithi reh, jo maps par dikha raha hai vahi se leke jaunga” (Sit quietly, I will only drive as per the map).

When the women asked him to speak politely, he responded with abusive language: “Tere jaisi 10 rakhi hai mere paas kaam karne ke liye, 12-13 gadiyan chalti hain meri” (I have ten like you working for me, I run 12-13 cars).

**Escalation of the Incident**

Gupta further alleged that when she tried to step out of the cab, the driver pushed her and demanded payment. The situation escalated when the driver retrieved a white rod from the car’s trunk and threatened to hit the passengers.

She recalled him saying, “Tu ruk, tujhe to main abhi batata hun, aaj tujhe maarke jail bhi jana pade to chala jaunga” (Wait, I will deal with you right now, even if I have to go to jail for it).

The passengers then began filming the driver, after which he allegedly tried to snatch their phone.

**Police and Uber Respond**

Noida Police acted swiftly after the video surfaced on social media. ACP-1 Praveen Kumar confirmed that the accused driver was identified and arrested within half an hour of the video going viral.

“Necessary legal action is underway,” he added.

Uber India also responded to the incident, stating, “Hey there, this is concerning. Such behavior is unacceptable, and we prioritize your safety above all else. Kindly send your registered Uber account contact details through Direct Message, and our safety team will contact you shortly.”

**Public and Official Reactions**

In her Instagram post, Gupta tagged local police, women’s helplines, and government officials, urging strict action against the driver and calling the incident a “major safety concern for women”.

This incident highlights the ongoing need for stringent measures to ensure the safety and dignity of female passengers using cab services in urban areas.

**Bombay High Court Seeks Response from Maharashtra Police in Assault Case of YouTuber-Journalist**

*Mumbai:* The Bombay High Court on Wednesday sought a response from the Maharashtra police while hearing a petition filed by a YouTuber-journalist who was allegedly assaulted in July this year and has since been receiving threats.

The court noted the rising incidents of harassment against journalists in recent times. A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad remarked, “This is happening. We have this understanding that they are doing it with the journalists. Whoever reports something against them, they try to harass.”

**Details of Assault and Petition**

The petition was filed by Sneha Barve, who alleged that she was assaulted with an iron rod on July 4, 2025, while reporting on an alleged illegal construction in Pune. She had initially sought police protection but, after not receiving any response, approached the High Court.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the court asked Barve’s counsel, Mihir Desai, whether she was willing to pay for police protection. On Wednesday, Desai informed the bench that she was ready to bear the charges as per the state government’s policy.

He further explained that Barve sustained serious injuries in the July attack and has been receiving threats since. Despite writing three letters to the Superintendent of Police seeking protection, no decision has been taken, Desai added.

**Evidence and Court Observations**

When questioned by the court, Desai emphasized that there is video evidence showing Barve being assaulted with an iron rod during her investigation of the illegal construction site.

However, the court observed that the petition was not drafted properly and lacked submitted evidence. It noted that affidavits from witnesses to the threats should have been attached to the petition.

The court has asked the state to file its response to the petition and adjourned the hearing to September 29.
