Sikh activist murder probe leads to Tinder account ‘linked' to Amritpal Singh
The Faridkot police, in a letter to Tinder on May 26, said it was probing the murder case of Sikh activist Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau, who was shot dead on October 9 last year while returning home from a local Gurdwara. Nau was a member of the radical outfit 'Waris Punjab De' headed by Amritpal Singh. He used to run a Facebook page 'Hari Nau Talks' and had openly opposed Amritpal Singh's radical views, revealed sources.
Police have sought from Tinder the subscriber details, name, DOB, phone number, location information, and IP address logs since January 1, 2019. It has also sought information on all linked e-mail IDs and phone numbers, photographs and media files uploaded, friends/contacts list and mutual matches, chat history and messages exchanged via the Tinder platform and any other detail.

Hero bystanders stopped Walmart stabber: Ex-marine Derrick Perry held attacker at gunpoint; watch
Derrick Perry holds attacker at gunpoint in Walmart parking lot (Picture source: X) A stabbing attack at a Walmart store in Traverse City, Michigan, left 11 people injured on Sunday. But what could have been far worse was stopped by a group of bystanders, and one man in particular is being praised across social media, Derrick Perry. Video from the scene, later verified by CNN, shows the suspect being cornered in the parking lot by a group of civilians. One man stands out, pointing a gun directly at the suspect, keeping him frozen in place until police arrived. That man is Perry. While authorities haven't officially named him, Perry's family and locals have identified him in Facebook posts, calling him a 'true hero.' One post read, 'This is Derrick Perry! He is the man who took his gun out and risked his life to save many lives.' A woman added in the comments, 'So proud to be his daughter-in-law. He protected so many.' — GrahamAllen_1 (@GrahamAllen_1) The attacker, identified by police as 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, allegedly began stabbing people near the checkout area. He was reportedly trying to flee when two former Marines, Matt Kolakowski and Perry — intervened. Kolakowski told CNN that he had no weapon but charged at the attacker with a shopping cart, hitting him hard enough to knock him down. Perry, a veteran himself, then drew his licensed weapon and held the man at gunpoint until others tackled him and officers arrived. Eleven victims were taken to Munson Medical Center. Three underwent surgery. Their names and conditions have not been made public.

Trading fraud: Bengaluru-based businessman clicks on Facebook advertisement, loses Rs 89 lakh
Bengaluru: A 50-year-old businessman from Horamavu has reportedly lost Rs 89 lakh in an online trading scam over two months. The victim, Sunil (name changed), lodged a complaint with the East CEN crime police after realising he had fallen prey to fraudsters operating through a fake trading platform. According to his complaint, Sunil came across an advertisement on Facebook two months ago, promoting high returns on stock market investments through an online platform named 'FXROAD @FXRoad_Account_Mngr_bot'. Interested by the promise of quick profits, he clicked on a free registration link and submitted his basic details. Soon after, he received a call from a woman who explained the process and persuaded him to invest $200 (around Rs 17,000). The next day, another person contacted him, urging further investment by assuring daily profits. They showed a small credit of $50 on the portal and claimed that profits would be automatically added. Trusting the process, Sunil continued to invest more money as he was regularly shown fictitious profits on the trading dashboard.

Despite mounting doubts, Sunil invested further, including a lump sum of $50,000 after three weeks, hoping to recover his earlier losses. The scammers claimed market fluctuations had caused a loss and delayed withdrawals. They later demanded an additional $300,000 (Rs 2.6 crore), which he refused. When Sunil insisted on retrieving his money, the fraudsters began threatening legal action. Realising he had been conned, he contacted the cyber helpline and filed a complaint with the police. The East CEN crime police are investigating the matter.
