'Neha Gupta, come to the front door. Do it now,' a US Marshal shouted. 'US Marshals. We have a warrant for your arrest. Come to the front door. Do it now.'
In the footage, Neha Gupta can be seen hiding in a dark corner behind the sliding door of the laundry room. She was placed on the ground and cuffed immediately.
Gupta allegedly killed her four-year-old daughter Aria Talathi while on vacation with her in Miami. The mother and daughter were staying at a short-term rental on June 27 when Neha Gupta called 911 and reported the accidental drowning of her daughter.
The first responders arrived and found Talathu in the pool unresponsive. When she was taken to the hospital, she was pronounced dead.
The autopsy report later found that there was no water in Talathi's lungs or stomach but she had injuries in her mouth and cheeks, suggesting that she died from asphyxiation by smothering. It was medically concluded that she died before being placed in the pool.
Gupta, however, claimed she woke up at 3.20am to some noise outside and found her daughter in the pool.
She said they had dinner at 9pm though Talathi's stomach was found empty.
Gupta recorded her statement in Miami and came back to Oklahoma when police got a warrant for her arrest. The Miami-Dade Police, with the help of the Oklahoma Police, tracked down Gupta and arrested her. She was extradited to Florida and is now in jail.
The 36-year-old doctor was recently fired from OU Health and the University of Oklahoma. She was in a bitter battle with her ex-husband Dr Saurabh Talathi over the custody of their daughter. Neha Gupta was denied sole custody of their daughter.

Another Cooch Behar man gets Assam NRC notice
Jalpaiguri: Yet another Cooch Behar resident has received an NRC notice from Assam's Foreigners Tribunal. Baxirhat resident Dipankar Sarkar, who works as a carpenter in Guwahati's Paltan Bazar, has been residing in Assam for over a decade. In 2014, he was summoned by Assam Police on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi intruder and a case was registered against him in 2015. The notice, dated Jan 24 this year, was received by Sarkar in March. It directs him to appear before the tribunal with documents to establish his Indian nationality.

Soon, Cooch Behar TMC president Avijit De Bhowmik shared an image of the notice on social media. While TMC has advised Sarkar to disregard the notice and assured him of all necessary assistance, BJP accused TMC of trying to play the "Bengali card". Similar notices were earlier issued to three other residents of Cooch Behar — Uttam Kumar Brajabashi, Nishikanta Das and Mamina Bibi.

'Rahul Gandhi told you so in 2018': Congress on ED summoning Anil Ambani; attacks PM Modi
NEW DELHI: With ED summoning industrialist Anil Ambani for alleged loan fraud involving a massive sum, Congress hurled a "Rahul told you so" barb at BJP, asking whether PM Narendra Modi would answer the allegations made by Rahul Gandhi during the row over the Rafale purchase seven years ago. Congress spokesperson and MP Manickam Tagore reposted on X Rahul's post from 2018 in which he had slammed the awarding of the Rafale offsets contract to Anil as cronyism by Modi, saying "the PM and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a Rs 130,000 crore surgical strike on Indian defence forces... you betrayed India's soul." Tagore said, "Then, many laughed, few believed. Now, ED has summoned Anil Ambani in a Rs 17,000 crore loan fraud case, days after raids on his premises. The same Anil Ambani whose debt-ridden firm was picked for the Rafale offset deal - replacing HAL. Will Modi answer now?"

Afghan man arrested in Jabalpur for ‘illegally' obtaining Indian passport, running racket; two others held too
The Madhya Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested a man from Afghanistan for allegedly getting an Indian passport using forged documents and two of his accomplices from Jabalpur, police said on Friday (August 1, 2025). As per a statement from the M.P. Police, the accused — identified as Sohbat Khan, currently residing in Jabalpur, Dinesh Garg and Mahendra Kumar Sukhdan, both residents of Jabalpur — were arrested based on a tip off received by the city unit of the ATS. Mr. Garg is a forest guard in the Forest Guard and has been working in the election cell of the Jabalpur Collectorate for the past two years, the police said. 'The Jabalpur unit of the ATS had received a tip off from an informer that some Afghanistan nationals were living illegally in the city. Sohbat was living illegally in Jabalpur for the last 10 years and he had also married a local woman,' the police said. Apart from having obtained his own passport using fake documents, Mr. Khan was also getting Indian passports made for his Afghan friends living in West Bengal and Chhattisgarh by preparing documents on wrong addresses in Jabalpur and taking money for them, the police added. 'So far, the ATS has received information about about 20 such Afghan youths whose passports were tried to be made from Jabalpur addresses, out of which passports of Akbar and Iqbal, residents of West Bengal, have been made from fake addresses of Jabalpur,' it said, adding that information about transactions of about ₹10 lakh has been obtained so far. The police said that Mr. Khan is being questioned to find out about the people helping him in securing police verification, fake addresses from the post office and other necessary documents required for passports.
