YouTuber Kanika Devrani claims she was drugged, robbed in AC coach, netizens air safety concerns
YouTuber and travel vlogger Kanika Devrani has claimed that she was drugged and robbed while travelling on the Brahmaputra Mail from Delhi to Assam on June 26. In a viral Instagram reel captioned 'Travel safe', Devrani shared that after a blackout moment, she realised that her iPhone was missing when the train halted at New Jalpaiguri Railway Station in West Bengal. Watch here: A post shared by Kannu Priya (@kanika_devrani) The vlogger alleged that a stranger, allegedly without a ticket, entered the 2AC compartment where she was seated, spoke to several passengers while crossing the coach, and sprayed a sedative on her. Devrani also claimed that her co-passenger had a similar experience and lost his mobile phone. 'As First class AC tickets weren't available, I had booked a 2nd AC ticket from New Delhi to Guwahati on Brahmaputra Mail. I was of the opinion that it is all safe. The train had halted at New Jalpaiguri station in West Bengal, I was asleep and my phone was put under the charge,' the YouTuber said on June 27, recounting the incident. 'Someone came to my berth, my phone was under my pillow, and took it. First of all, how can the Railways staff let in someone unknown without a ticket? I don't know who the person is,' Priya added. She also alleged that the Railway Protection Force (RPF) did not cooperate with her despite knowing her lost phone's location. The Find My Device app tracked her phone's live location to West Bengal's Malda. On X, she tagged @WBPolice and @malda_police on X, urging them to take action. Social media users have expressed safety concerns soon after the video came to light. 'Feeling so sad to hear that .. need to be more careful and the government should do something,' a user commented. 'Very sad to see this and thank god you're safe kanika. @ @railminindia Is it that easy that anyone can enter the 2S class without the ticket even under the supervision of your employers? This is the safety you're providing to your passengers and especially to females? You must look into this matter and take action as quickly as possible,' another person wrote.

Idaho shooter's now-deleted Instagram story just before the shooting is spine-chilling
Just hours before opening fire on firefighters in northern Idaho, Wess Val Roley, the 20-year-old suspected gunman, posted an ominous Instagram story. Before opening fire on firefighters in Idaho, Wess Val Roley shared a disturbing Instagram story hinting at violence.(X and Reuters ) The image, shared to his Instagram Stories and since deleted, shows Roley wearing a balaclava with what appeared to be coal-like soot smeared on his face. He had a belt of rifle shells strapped across his chest. The post was accompanied by the eerie lyrics of a Björk song: 'I'm going hunting.' That spine-chilling post was made shortly before officials say Roley intentionally started a fire on Canfield Mountain near Coeur d'Alene and ambushed first responders. Two firefighters were killed and another critically injured in the shootout that followed. ALSO READ| John Morrison identified as fallen Idaho firefighter; colleague recalls final memory: 'He loved his family' 'It's clear to me that This fire was set intentionally to draw us in,' one firefighter radioed during the attack, captured in harrowing dispatch audio, per Daily Mail. Idaho suspect's grandfather drops hints why his grandson ambushed firefighters Roley reportedly dreamed of becoming a firefighter himself. His grandfather, Dale Roley, told NBC News that his grandson had tried to join a fire department but may have been rejected. 'Maybe he got rejected or something,' he said, adding that at 5-foot-8, 'his height might have prevented him from joining the department.' 'He loved firefighters. It didn't make sense that he was shooting firefighters,' the grandfather said. 'He actually really respected law enforcement… He wanted to be part of a team that he sort of idolized.' Sheriff Robert Norris confirmed that investigators had 'information' suggesting Roley once wanted to be a firefighter. On Sunday afternoon, he allegedly launched a 'total ambush,' firing on firefighters responding to a brush fire he had set himself. 'These firefighters did not have a chance,' Norris said in a press conference. 'It's clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in.' Firefighters arriving on the scene were pinned down by gunfire. 'Send law enforcement right now! There's an active shooter zone,' one responder urgently radioed. 'Everybody's shot up here!' At around 4:30 PM, as Roley continued to shoot, Sheriff Norris gave law enforcement the green light to use lethal force. 'I am hoping someone has a clear shot,' he said. 'They are not showing any signs of wanting to surrender.' By the time authorities located Roley nearly six hours later, he was found dead beside a firearm. Officials believe he shot himself. His vehicle, where he had apparently been living, was found nearby, filled with debris, but no manifesto or clear motive. 'There is no threat to the community at this time,' Norris said. ALSO READ| Who are Wess Roley's parents? Idaho shooter's mother once accused his father of violent threats Idaho Governor Brad Little called the attack a 'heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters.'
