Liquor manufacturing unit staffer beaten to death in Balangir
The deceased has been identified as Sarada Yadav (68), a native of Bihar.
"Yadav was found in critical condition by police at a farmland near the village on Tuesday evening. He was immediately rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. The miscreants had fled the scene after committing the crime," said Saroj Kumar Upadhyaya, SDPO, Balangir.
According to police, the assailants took Yadav to an abandoned location near the liquor unit and beat him with wooden planks.
They fled the spot after he collapsed and lost consciousness. Locals informed the police, following which a team reached the location and rescued the unconscious victim. Yadav was admitted to Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital, police added.
Preliminary investigation revealed that four middle-aged men from the same village were involved in the attack. The accused reportedly had a long-standing enmity with staff members, including the manager of the liquor unit, which led to the deadly confrontation, Upadhyaya said.

Local sources claimed the liquor unit's manager was allegedly involved in an illicit relationship with a woman from the village. Tensions escalated after the accused warned the manager to end the affair. In response, the manager allegedly asked Yadav to confront the men, which eventually triggered the violent incident.
Yadav had joined the liquor unit as a security staff member just two weeks ago. His body was handed over to his family after the autopsy, said Upadhyaya. "We have launched a manhunt to arrest the accused. Two police teams are actively involved in the search operation, and arrests will be made soon," he added.

US DOJ to open grand jury probe into Obama officials, source says
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury probe into allegations that members of Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration manufactured intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. The Justice Department said late last month it was forming a strike force to assess claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about "alleged weaponization of the U.S. intelligence community ."

The report cited a letter from Bondi and a source. A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment. Last month, Trump accused Obama of treason, alleging, without providing evidence, that the Democrat led an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump won the 2016 election against Democrat Hillary Clinton. Live Events A spokesperson for Obama had denounced Trump's claims, saying "these bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction." Gabbard had declassified documents and said the information she released showed a "treasonous conspiracy" in 2016 by top Obama officials to undermine Trump, claims that Democrats called false and politically motivated. An assessment by the U.S. intelligence community published in January 2017 concluded that Russia, using social media disinformation, hacking, and Russian bot farms, sought to damage Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and bolster Trump, who won that election. The assessment determined the actual impact was likely limited and showed no evidence that Moscow's efforts actually changed voting outcomes. Russia has denied it attempted to interfere in U.S. elections.
