Snapback sanctions could collapse the Iranian economy as the Islamic Republic scrambles to rebuild its nuclear facilities.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian speaks during an interview in Tehran, Iran, August 28, 2025.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully coordinated the return of wanted fugitive Parminder Singh, also known as Nirmal Singh or Pindi, from the UAE through INTERPOL channels.
Parminder Singh was wanted by the Punjab Police in connection with multiple serious offences, including extortion, violations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for raising funds for terrorist activities, attempt to murder, and criminal intimidation. He had fled India and was absconding until his recent capture.
The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, and Punjab Police, coordinated efforts to bring Parminder Singh back to India on 26 September 2025. Upon his return, he was escorted by a team from Punjab Police.
Earlier, on 13 June 2025, the CBI facilitated the publication of a Red Notice against Parminder Singh through INTERPOL, acting on a request from the Punjab Police. Following his arrest by UAE authorities, a decision was made to extradite him to India.
Red Notices issued by INTERPOL are circulated globally among law enforcement agencies to aid in the tracking and apprehension of wanted criminals. As India’s National Central Bureau for INTERPOL, the CBI coordinates closely with law enforcement agencies across the country through BHARATPOL, ensuring effective assistance via INTERPOL channels.
In recent years, more than 130 wanted criminals have been repatriated to India through successful coordination using these international cooperation mechanisms.

**Communal Tension Surfaces in Jabalpur Over “I Love Mohammad” Banners**
Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): A fresh wave of communal tension was witnessed in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur following the appearance of massive banners bearing the slogan “I Love Mohammad” in several Muslim localities across the city.
A large poster prominently displayed at Mohammadi Gate in the Naya Mohalla area caught the attention of residents, while similar banners were spotted on a mosque under the jurisdiction of Hanuman Tal police station. These banners, with the message written in English, quickly became a hot topic of discussion not only within Jabalpur but also nationwide.
Reports indicate that more such posters may soon be put up across various Muslim-dominated areas throughout the city. Images circulating on social media showed members of a community standing in rows, holding “I Love Mohammad” posters, further fueling discussion and reactions.
The display of these banners has prompted the Hindu Seva Parishad to file a formal police complaint at Omati police station. In response, Hindu organizations have put up posters with slogans such as “I Love Shri Ram,” “I Love Mahakal,” and saffron flags at various locations throughout the city. These groups have stated that they are fully prepared to maintain peace and will not allow any untoward incident to disturb the harmony of Jabalpur.
It is noteworthy that similar “I Love You Mohammad” posters have been reported not only in Jabalpur but also in other parts of India. Police complaints regarding this matter have also been filed in cities like Kanpur.
Meanwhile, the Jabalpur administration and police are closely monitoring the situation to ensure law and order is maintained and to prevent any escalation in tensions.

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday to seek assistance for farmers who have suffered losses due to the recent heavy rains that lashed the state.
Fadnavis handed over a memorandum to the Prime Minister and briefed him about the situation in Maharashtra following the heavy rainfall. “The Prime Minister asked the state government to send a proposal in this regard which will be considered constructively,” the Chief Minister told reporters.
He also highlighted that the BJP manifesto includes a commitment to waiving farmers’ loans, and the government is focused on making this promise more effective. “We will certainly fulfill the assurance of loan waiver given by us in the manifesto. A committee has been set up in this regard and it will decide on the loan waiver. A loan waiver cannot be done time and again, so the focus will be on how to make it more effective,” Fadnavis explained.
Addressing the concerns about loan repayment, he added that the loans taken for the kharif crop will have to be repaid next year. “The immediate concern of the farmers is help in their accounts. So it will be our priority to extend this help,” he said.

Air traffic controllers who handle flights arriving and departing from the airport faced significant challenges earlier this year due to multiple communications and radar outages. These issues led to thousands of cancellations, disrupting travel plans for many passengers.
While the FAA continues to limit flights, the number of takeoffs and landings is gradually increasing by four per hour, now reaching 72 operations per hour. However, this figure remains well below the more than 80 flights per hour that the airport experienced before the current caps were put in place.
United Airlines, which operates a major hub at Newark, has expressed support for limiting the number of flights into the airport. CEO Scott Kirby emphasized the importance of this approach, stating, “The reduced operations, along with continued focus on technology upgrades and ATC staffing increases, are critical milestones toward Newark’s long-term operational certainty. Things will only get better as we head into the fall and winter seasons.”
In testimony before members of the House in June, former acting head of the FAA Chris Rocheleau projected that by October, the Philadelphia air traffic control facility—which manages flights in and out of Newark—would reach healthy staffing levels and resolve ongoing technology issues.
The FAA has reported a successful transition to a brand-new fiber optic communications network linking New York and the Philadelphia TRACON. Staffing numbers have also improved, with 22 fully certified controllers and five certified supervisors currently on duty. Additionally, 27 controllers and supervisors are in training to further bolster the team.
These developments signal progress toward restoring more stable and efficient air traffic operations at Newark, with continued improvements expected in the coming months.

**Mumbai: Women Doctors at Nair Hospital Allege Silencing Amid Sexual Harassment Complaints**
Member of Parliament and NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule has raised concerns over the treatment of women doctors at Mumbai’s civic-run Nair Hospital who have reported sexual harassment. Speaking on Friday, Sule stated that these women are being silenced despite their repeated requests to be heard. She urged government authorities to take urgent action, emphasizing that the issue severely jeopardizes women’s safety.
“Despite them requesting to be heard, government authorities are turning a blind eye to this entire issue. We demand urgent action now, it is gravely jeopardising women’s safety,” Sule wrote in her post on X.
### Rising Complaints Against a Suspended Assistant Professor
The issue came into sharper focus during a hearing held on Thursday, where several more female students stepped forward to lodge complaints against a suspended assistant professor from BYL Nair Hospital. To date, approximately 10 complaints have been officially filed against the professor.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, the hearing was organized following a directive from the Additional Municipal Commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The session was conducted by the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and Sexual Harassment Prevention Committee at the Workplace, under the Savitribai Phule Women’s Resource Centre.
### What Is the Nair Hospital Case?
The case originated when a female student studying at Bai Yamunabai Laxman (BYL) Nair Hospital and Medical College, located in Mumbai Central, filed an official complaint accusing an associate professor of inappropriate conduct and sexual harassment. The hospital’s internal Sexual Harassment Prevention Committee initially examined these allegations.
Earlier this month, the Dean of Nair Hospital disclosed that the internal complaints committee had informed him about the sexual harassment case on April 12. Following the investigation, the professor was removed from all academic activities by the first week of June.
On September 15, the BMC officially announced that the professor had been suspended following the multiple sexual harassment complaints. Subsequently, the case was escalated to the Municipal Headquarters’ Complaint Committee under the Savitribai Phule Women’s Resource Center for further action.

Imagine you’re hungry and about to open a salad pouch you recently purchased from a store, only to find a toad staring back at you from inside the bag. You would probably scream out loud after spotting the unexpected creature in your food pack, wouldn’t you?
Something similar recently happened in England when a person unwrapped a salad bag bought from a supermarket and found a live toad inside. A staff member from the Waitrose distribution center in Bracknell contacted the local animal rescue team after discovering the toad hidden in the salad bag.
Did they ensure that this salad bag with the toad wasn’t placed on the shelves to prevent any customer from accidentally picking it up? No. They only found out about the live toad after a customer complained.
Soon after, the pouch was set aside and the rescuers were called in for assistance. Berkshire Reptile Rescue responded to the incident and confirmed that the toad was found by a customer in a bag of salad and was subsequently returned to Waitrose.
The toad was safely collected and isolated by the rescuers while they investigated how it ended up inside the food package. “I have no idea where he came from but he’s happy where he is… We are just going to keep him,” rescuer Graham Martin told the BBC.
Martin also pointed out that incidents like this have surprisingly become more common recently. People often seek his help to rescue stowaway reptiles found in their holiday luggage or even in imported fruits and vegetables.

Nykaa, one of India’s leading beauty and lifestyle platforms, has announced Deepika Padukone as its new global brand ambassador. The partnership kicks off with a fresh campaign carrying a simple yet relatable message: beauty doesn’t need an occasion.
### Deepika Padukone Joins Nykaa as Global Brand Ambassador
The campaign film, titled *Sirf Bahar Jaane Ke Liye Kaun Tayar Hota Hai? Tum Hi Ho Nykaa!*, features Deepika in a playful avatar. She encourages women to see beauty as an everyday form of self-expression rather than something reserved only for special events.
Over the last decade, Nykaa has evolved from an e-commerce venture to a household name, offering a wide range of global and homegrown brands while creating immersive shopping experiences for its 45 million customers. In Deepika, the company sees a face that reflects its ethos of authenticity and individuality.
Speaking about the association, Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO of Nykaa Beauty, said,
“We are proud to welcome Deepika Padukone to the Nykaa family. Her authenticity and versatility perfectly complement our vision of leading the transformation of beauty in India and beyond.”
Deepika, who has balanced her Bollywood journey with international recognition at events like Cannes and the Met Gala, echoed the sentiment:
“Beauty for me has never been about the spotlight alone; it has always been about the everyday rituals and practicing them with consistency. Nykaa understands this better than anyone.”
As the brand’s ambassador, Deepika will front flagship initiatives including the Pink Friday Sale, Nykaaland, and the Nykaa Best in Beauty Awards.

*BOLLYWOOD NEWS LIVE UPDATES*

The Delhi High Court on Friday questioned former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede over the maintainability of his defamation plea against Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix.
Wankhede had approached the court seeking a permanent and mandatory injunction, declaration, and damages for what he described as a false, malicious, and defamatory portrayal in the web series *The Ba***ds of Bollywood*.
### Court Questions Jurisdiction
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav asked Wankhede to establish how his plea was maintainable in Delhi and whether any cause of action had arisen in the national capital. According to the court’s observations, jurisdiction was a key issue in deciding the admissibility of the petition.
In response, Wankhede’s counsel, senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, argued that the series was available for streaming in Delhi and had been viewed by audiences in the city, thereby impacting his client’s reputation locally.
The court, however, directed Wankhede to amend his plea to specifically demonstrate how a cause of action had arisen in Delhi.
### Background of the Case
Wankhede rose to national prominence for leading the investigation in the Aryan Khan drugs-on-cruise case. In his plea, he has sought Rs. 2 crore in damages. Interestingly, he has requested that the amount, if granted, be donated to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital for the treatment of cancer patients.
The plea alleged that the controversial series, reportedly produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and streamed on Netflix, was deliberately conceptualised and executed to malign Wankhede’s reputation. It further argued that the timing was prejudicial, given that related proceedings involving Wankhede and Aryan Khan are still pending before the Bombay High Court and the NDPS Special Court in Mumbai.
### Specific Objections Raised
According to Wankhede’s claims, the show includes a character making an obscene gesture—specifically showing the middle finger—after uttering the slogan *Satyamev Jayate*, which forms part of India’s National Emblem.
The plea described this act as a grave violation of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, which could attract penal consequences under Indian law.
Additionally, the petition asserted that the web series violated provisions of the Information Technology Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) by promoting offensive, obscene content that not only harmed his reputation but also outraged national sentiment.
### What’s Next?
With the High Court instructing Sameer Wankhede to strengthen the jurisdictional basis of his plea, the next hearing is expected to determine whether the defamation suit can proceed in Delhi.
Until then, the controversy surrounding *The Ba***ds of Bollywood* continues to brew, placing both Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment in the legal spotlight.
