Devendra Budhia Sent to Two-Day Police Remand After One Month; Police to Recover Mobile Phone and Identify Crime Scene.
Hisar: Devendra Budhia, 58, former president of the All-India Bishnoi Mahasabha and a controversial figure in Haryana politics, was taken into two-day police custody on Monday in connection with a rape case involving a 20-year-old woman from the Bishnoi community. The Hisar court granted the remand on a production warrant based on a petition from Bhiwani's crime branch. Budhia is accused of repeated sexual assault in Chandigarh and Jaipur. Police allege he used his influence under the pretext of helping the woman with IELTS coaching for a planned move to Australia. The state crime bureau arrested him in Jodhpur on June 29, after which he moved into judicial custody initially. The police remand will allow cops to recover the mobile phone that was used allegedly in the crime and to conduct crime scene identification. The district court, Punjab and Haryana high court, as well as the Supreme Court had rejected Budhia's earlier pleas for anticipatory bail. The FIR (first-information report), which Hisar police had filed on Jan 25, suggests that Budhia lured the woman with false promises of academic support, took her to different cities, and raped her repeatedly. She also alleged that he issued death threats to silence her. Legal twist: Remand under new law An earlier attempt by police to seek Budhia's remand on July 14 was rejected by the judicial magistrate, citing procedural limits under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which do not allow police remand after 15 days of judicial custody. However, the police challenged that decision successfully, arguing that since the FIR was registered after July 1, 2024, the case falls under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced key sections of the CrPC. The district court accepted the argument and approved the two-day custody. Budhia, who has been embroiled in past political clashes with former MP Kuldeep Bishnoi of the BJP, now faces serious criminal allegations that may test the implementation of India's newly enacted criminal justice code. Police say further action will follow pending forensic and electronic evidence recovery. Caption: Police escorting Devendra Budhia on Monday after securing his custody in Hisar for two days.

WWE Star Chelsea Green Faces Backlash After Comments On Hulk Hogan, Leaves Social Media
Canadian professional wrestler Chelsea Green, who is a former WWE Women's United States Champion and an ex-WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, has taken a break from social media after severe social media backlash for her remarks about WWE legend Hulk Hogan after his death. After the death of Hulk Hogan, Green appeared on CBS News' 24/7 show called him an "absolute icon" despite having "polarising political views." This comment drew severe backlash. During the 2024 US Presidential Election, where he was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, leaked audios allegedly showed him making racist remarks. In such a backdrop, Green's comments enraged Hulk Hogan's fans. "A significant part of my role at @WWE involves engaging w the public & responding to questions, often on live platforms," Green wrote on X. "Yesterday, I was asked to comment on Hulk Hogan on live tv. Let me be clear: my stance on racism is unwavering. I do not condone it—period. "If my response (or tweet) seemed dismissive of real concerns, I sincerely apologize. That was never my intention. I tried to acknowledge a death respectfully, even when the legacy is complicated. I am learning one day at a time and will continue to learn." Ultimately, Green stepped away from social media. "I've tried to keep my page positive and comedic, but today, a lot changed… and it hit harder than I expected. The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts," she added. I've tried to keep my page positive and comedic, but today, a lot changed… and it hit harder than I expected. The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts.

It's been overwhelming and I… — CHELSEA GREEN (@ImChelseaGreen) July 26, 2025 Hulk Hogan, the mustachioed, headscarf-wearing icon in the world of professional wrestling, died at the age of 71 on July 24. In Clearwater, Florida, authorities responded to a call on Thursday morning about a cardiac arrest. Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital, police said in a statement on Facebook. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even company chairman Vince McMahon.

Trump Eyes 'World Tariff' Of 15-20% For Most Countries
President Donald Trump said on Monday most trading partners that do not negotiate separate trade deals would soon face tariffs of 15% to 20% on their exports to the United States, well above the broad 10% tariff he imposed in April. Trump told reporters his administration will notify some 200 countries soon of their new "world tariff" rate. "I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15 to 20% range," Trump told reporters, sitting alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his luxury golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland. "Probably one of those two numbers." Trump, who has vowed to end decades of US trade deficits by imposing tariffs on nearly all trading partners, has already announced higher rates of up to 50% on some countries, including Brazil, starting on Friday. The announcements have spurred feverish negotiations by a host of countries seeking lower tariff rates, including India, Pakistan, Canada, and Thailand, among others. The US president on Sunday clinched a huge trade deal with the European Union that includes a 15% tariff on most EU goods, $600 billion of investments in the US by European firms, and $750 billion in energy purchases over the next three years. That followed a $550-billion deal with Japan last week and smaller agreements with Britain, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Other talks are ongoing, including with India, but prospects have dimmed for many more agreements before Friday, Trump's deadline for deals before higher rates take effect. Trump has repeatedly said he favors straightforward tariff rates over complex negotiations. "We're going to be setting a tariff for essentially, the rest of the world," he said again on Monday. "And that's what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States. Because you can't sit down and make 200 deals." Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday trade talks with the US were at an intense phase, conceding that his country was still hoping to walk away with a tariff rate below the 35% announced by Trump on some Canadian imports. Carney conceded this month that Canada - which sends 75% of its exports to the United States - would likely have to accept some tariffs.
