Cold-blooded murder of teenager sends shockwaves in Bengaluru neighbourhood
Neighbours said Nischith — the only child of his parents — was a quiet boy, who loved cycling and was often seen playing football by himself along the 300-metre stretch of C Main Road.
A relative said, "Nischith was an introvert. Every day, after returning from school near Dairy Circle, he attended tuition classes from 5pm to 7.30pm. As the tuition centre was nearby, he would take his bicycle there. However, Wednesday night, he did not return home from tuition. His grandfather went to the centre and enquired about him, but was told Nischith had already left. His bicycle was later found abandoned near a park, and his grandfather brought it back.
I, too, searched for him in the locality until 9pm, but we couldn't find him. The next day, we received the devastating news that he had been kidnapped and murdered by a driver, who was working for the family on a contract basis."

It is said the family initially hired the driver using an app that helps private car owners find professional drivers. Another relative said, "The boy's mother, Saritha, works for an MNC and the father is a college lecturer.

About a year ago, the family got acquainted with the driver through the app. He was hired to drop Saritha at her office or for other family outings. It appears that over time he gained their trust, and eventually, they began hiring him directly without using the app.
"
A neighbour said, "Nischith was their only child. No family should ever go through such a tragedy. This incident raises serious concerns about the safety of children. It appears that anti-social elements do not fear police. This kind of incident is very depressing and makes us feel insecure about the society we live in."
After the postmortem, the body was taken directly from the hospital to Chandapur for the last rites.

4 Indian-origin senior citizens killed in US car crash
New Delhi: Four senior citizens of an Indian-origin family who went missing during a road trip in the US five days ago were found dead on Sunday. The Marshall County Sheriff's office said the senior citizens, all in their 80s, died in a car crash. According to a statement, their vehicle, a light green Toyota Camry, was found in a mangled mess off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road. The area was so remote that rescue teams took more than five hours to reach the crash site. Sheriff Mike Dougherty expressed condolences and said the cause of the crash was under investigation. The four senior citizens - Dr Kishore Divan (89), Asha Divan (85), Shailesh Divan (86), and Gita Divan (84) - were last seen at a Burger King outlet on Peach Street in Erie, Pennsylvania, on July 29.

Who is Adaso Kapesa?
New Delhi: When images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent UK visit surfaced online, it wasn't just the diplomacy or the optics that caught the public eye. It was the confident woman standing right behind him, calmly watching over the scene in a black suit and earpiece, someone who wasn't just present, but commanding attention. People quickly took to social media to praise her presence, and many felt a surge of pride seeing a woman in such a critical role. So, who is she? The woman behind the PM in viral images is Inspector Adaso Kapesa, a trailblazer from Manipur who has made history as the first woman from her state-and the first woman ever-to serve in the Special Protection Group (SPG), India's elite force dedicated to protecting the Prime Minister. Her journey to this prestigious role began in the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), a Central Armed Police Force under the Ministry of Home Affairs. She currently serves with the 55th Battalion stationed in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand. Her inclusion in the SPG marks a watershed moment for women in security and law enforcement in India. Adaso Kapesa's assignment to the Prime Minister's security team is more than just a personal achievement -- it's a symbol of growing gender inclusivity in Indian defence and paramilitary services. Her appearance alongside the PM during his UK visit was a visible sign of progress, one that deeply resonated with women across the country. Social media flooded with messages of admiration and pride. Many users called her a role model, and a powerful example of what determination, discipline, and skill can achieve-regardless of gender. The Special Protection Group is a highly trained and selective force responsible for the personal security of India's Prime Minister and, under certain circumstances, former PMs and their immediate families. Its members go through intense physical, tactical, and psychological training. Until recently, the SPG was an all-male unit. Adaso Kapesa's entry into this elite squad is not just historic-it opens the door for more women to break into high-stakes security roles and redefine what leadership looks like in uniform.
