'Am I responsible for my family's actions?' Putin's alleged secret daughter denounces him; complains of being unheard by family
Russia President, left, and Elizaveta Krivonogikh (File Image) The alleged secret daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed criticism of her father through cryptic messages, condemning the individual whom she claimed had 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives.' Elizaveta Krivonogikh, aged 22, a Paris-based art school graduate believed to be Putin's youngest daughter, posted these messages on her private Telegram account, coinciding with her increased visibility on Instagram, where she's begun sharing more self-portraits, New York Post reported. Without naming President Putin in her post she wrote, "It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again," according to Bild. "It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life," she continued and added, "Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?" Her Telegram discussion group, titled "Art of Luiza," references her artistic alias Luiza Rozova. She has never denied the widespread speculation about her paternity. The young artist was born in 2003, reportedly following a relationship between Putin and her mother Svetlana, who worked as his housekeeper at the time. This revelation emerged from a 2020 investigation by Russian news outlet Proekt, noting her striking resemblance to Putin. Her birth certificate omits his name but includes "Vladimirovna," meaning "daughter of Vladimir." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 1 Household Item That Visibly Tightens Saggy Skin GlamourSkin Learn More Undo In 2021, the late journalist and opposition figure Alexei Navalny revealed Krivonogikh's Instagram account, which displayed her affluent lifestyle and her family's substantial wealth, commonly attributed to their association with the Russian president. Initially embracing public attention, Krivonogikh withdrew following Russia's Ukraine invasion in 2021 when her Instagram account was deactivated. Upon her return, she initially maintained a lower profile, often concealing her face in photographs. Her stance has apparently shifted regarding the conflict, after previously lamenting her inability to "make an extra lap around my beloved St. Petersburg." She has renounced her former luxurious lifestyle and openly criticises her presumed father's actions in Ukraine while working at a Parisian gallery focusing on anti-war exhibitions. She has additionally adopted the pseudonym Elizaveta Rudnova, after Putin's deceased associate Oleg Rudnov, appearing to mock her contested parentage. Nevertheless, Putin's critics remain sceptical of her transformed image, arguing against her employment in settings where she might encounter Ukrainians, regardless of her position. Putin is additionally rumoured to have two secret sons, aged 10 and 6, with former gymnast and Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva.

32 years on, families of 1993 Tarn Taran fake encounter victims see justice as 5 ex-cops jailed
Chandigarh, Nishan Singh was yet to be born when his father was among seven, who were killed in a fake encounter by police in 1993, and he now recalls how his mother faced hardship to get justice which took 32 long years. 32 years on, families of 1993 Tarn Taran fake encounter victims see justice as 5 ex-cops jailed Now, aged 23, he recalls how his mother Narinder Kaur used to wash dishes and work as a farm labour for looking after the family. When her husband Shinder Singh was killed, she was pregnant. Nishan was born two months after his father's death in the fake encounter. The family is now satisfied with the verdict of a CBI court in Mohali which sentenced five former police officials to rigorous life imprisonment in the 1993 fake encounter of seven persons of Tarn Taran district on Monday. The court of CBI special judge Baljinder Singh Sra had found them guilty of criminal conspiracy, murder and destruction of evidence under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code on August 1. The then deputy superintendent of police Bhupinderjit Singh , who later retired as SSP, the then assistant sub-inspector Devinder Singh , who retired as DSP, the then assistant sub-inspector Gulbarg Singh , the then inspector Suba Singh and the then ASI Raghbir Singh were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for life by the court on Monday. Five other accused police officers the then inspector Gurdev Singh, the then sub-inspector Gian Chand, then ASI Jagir Singh and then head constables Mohinder Singh and Aroor Singh died during the course of the trial. These former police officials were accused of killing special police officers Shinder Singh, Desa Singh, Sukhdev Singh, besides four others Balkar Singh, Mangal Singh, Sarabjit Singh and Harvinder Singh on July 12, 1993 and July 28, 1993 in a staged encounter. The case was handed over to the CBI following a Supreme Court order on December 12, 1996 in connection with mass cremation of unidentified bodies in Punjab. The CBI registered the case in 1999 based on the complaint of Narinder Kaur, the wife of Shinder Singh. Shinder's son Nishan Singh on Tuesday says his mother went through many hardships in her life but she fought the battle to seek justice with courage. "It was a long struggle for a poor family. My mother used to clean dishes and do work as farm labourer," says Singh, who hails from Rani Wallah village in Tarn Taran district. Kaur recalls that she came to know about her husband's killing through the media. "We were not even given the body," says Kaur, who is now 60-year-old. "We are happy with the court verdict, the stigma attached to the family being called militants is wiped out," she said. Kaur demands from the state government to give a government job to her son. Ranjit Kaur, the wife of victim Sarabjit Singh, claimed how her family gave a bribe of ₹30,000 at that time by selling a piece of land to then Inspector Suba Singh for her husband's release. But her husband, who was picked up by police, was not released and was killed in 1993. When Kaur's husband was killed, her son was one-and-a-half-year old and her daughter was aged three. She says only she knows how difficult it was for her to raise her children while fighting a long court battle. On the court's verdict, Ranjit Kaur said the convicted former police officials will now realise the pain and sufferings which they victim's families went through. Kaur too seeks her son to be given a government job. Her son Jagjit Singh is working in a factory. According to the investigation conducted by the CBI, a police team led by the then station house officer of Sirhali police station Gurdev Singh picked up SPOs Shinder Singh, Desa Singh, Sukhdev Singh and two others Balkar Singh and Daljit Singh from the residence of a government contractor on June 27, 1993. They were falsely implicated in a robbery case, the CBI probe found. On July 2, 1993, the Sarhali police registered a case against Shinder, Desa and Sukhdev, claiming that they had absconded along with government-issued weapons. A police team led by the then DSP Bhupinderjit Singh and then inspector Gurdev Singh, on July 12, 1993, claimed that while escorting one Mangal Singh to Gharka village for a recovery in the dacoity case, they were attacked by militants. In the crossfire, Mangal Singh, Desa Singh, Shinder Singh and Balkar Singh were killed. However, forensic analysis of seized weapons pointed to serious discrepancies and post-mortem examination reports also confirmed that the victims were tortured prior to their death, as per the probe. Despite being identified in records, their bodies were cremated as unclaimed, the CBI investigation revealed. On July 28, 1993, three more persons Sukhdev Singh, Sarabjit Singh and Harvinder Singh were killed in a staged encounter involving a police team led by the then DSP Bhupinderjit Singh, according to the CBI investigation.

Jagan urges legal fraternity to lead fight against 'misuse of power' by TDP-led govt
YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday called upon lawyers to spearhead the fight against what he alleged was a "dangerous misuse of power " by the TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh. Addressing a meeting of the YSRCP legal cell at the party headquarters in Tadepalli, Reddy urged advocates to stand with victims and lead efforts to uphold justice amid what he described as growing political repression .

Innocent people are being jailed without evidence, and false cases are being filed for political reasons. Lawyers must take the lead in fighting for justice," Reddy claimed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo He described the current situation as extraordinary and said it placed greater responsibility on the legal community. Reddy accused the government, led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, of "trampling on justice and ethics, and of jailing political opponents without due process." He also alleged that confessions were being extracted through threats and bribes, and falsified evidence was being created. Live Events Calling the YSRCP's legal cell the party's "pillar of strength", Reddy said justice cannot be expected unless petitions are filed and arguments are made in court. He assured the legal fraternity that their efforts would be recognised and remembered by the party. The former chief minister recalled the initiatives taken for lawyers during the previous YSRCP regime, including the allocation of Rs 100 crore to the Advocates Welfare Fund and the government's contribution towards one-third of their insurance premiums. He also cited the 'Law Nestham' scheme, which provided financial support to young advocates, and noted that reservations were extended to backward-class lawyers in legal jobs. Reddy alleged that the current government had betrayed the legal community, comparing it to what he called "false" election promises like the 'Super Six' schemes. Accusing the TDP-led government of widespread corruption, Reddy claimed illegal liquor shops , known as "belt shops", were operating in every village. He also alleged that liquor was being sold above the maximum retail price and that large commissions were being collected in construction contracts, with mobilisation advances being misused. "While the YSRCP government signed power purchase agreements at Rs 2.49 per unit, the current government is signing them at Rs 4.60," Reddy claimed, adding that entrepreneurs were being forced to pay bribes even to start small businesses or industries. He further alleged that some police officers were actively supporting gambling clubs and other unlawful activities. Reddy also announced that the party would soon launch a mobile app that would allow citizens to report injustices and upload supporting evidence. "This data will be stored in a digital library and will help initiate action against those misusing power," he claimed. There was no immediate response from the ruling Telugu Desam Party.
