The two stayed together in a hotel on December 16 from where Li posted several photos of her in an intimate positions with Zeus. Zeus, too, sent the photos and videos of the two staying together in the hotel to his fan group.
Soon, the photos became viral on the Chinese social media and online users tracked down the female student to be studying at the Dalian Polytechnic University.
Almost seven months after the alleged sexual encounters between the two, the Dalian Polytechnic University issued a public statement on July 8, announcing Li was to be expelled for her misconduct due to her relationship with Zeus on December 16, 2024.

HC dismisses bail plea of accused in money laundering case registered by ED
The Kerala High Court has dismissed the bail plea of Sayid Muhammed of Vadakara, who had been arraigned as the fifth accused in a money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The allegation was that he was involved in laundering ₹121 crore in connection with a Chinese loan app scam. He allegedly arranged 289 mule bank accounts in the name of individuals and shell business entities, for which he reportedly received remuneration from cyber fraudsters. He was arrested in February 2025 and has been in custody since then. Opposing his bail plea, the ED submitted that he paid ₹5,000 per account to arrange the mule bank accounts, which were allegedly used to operate illegal loan applications that cheated the public. A probe revealed that money collected from victims through online platforms was credited into mule accounts. These were then routed through these accounts and parked in different companies, which were merely shell entities. The ED also alleged that the funds were eventually diverted to bank accounts that were maintained outside India. The agency further said that ₹121 crore was collected from victims and transferred to four foreign wallets located outside the country. While dismissing his bail plea, the Bench of Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas observed that the materials clearly indicated the accused's active involvement in acquiring and transferring the proceeds of crime.

EU, UK hit Russia with new sanctions; Moscows energy revenue, spies targeted
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Brussels, Jul 18 (AP) The European Union and Britain on Friday ramped up pressure on Russia over its war on Ukraine, targeting Moscow's energy sector, shadow fleet of aging oil tankers and military intelligence service with new sanctions. 'The message is clear: Europe will not back down in its support for Ukraine. The EU will keep raising the pressure until Russia ends its war," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said after the bloc agreed its new measures, including a new oil price cap. Kallas said it's 'one of its strongest sanctions packages against Russia to date" linked to the war, now in its fourth year. It comes as European countries start to buy US weapons for Ukraine to help the country better defend itself. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the new measures, describing them as a 'timely and necessary" step amid intensified Russian attacks. 'All infrastructure of Russia's war must be blocked," Zelenskyy said, adding that Ukraine will synchronize its sanctions with the EU and introduce its own additional measures soon. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov brushed off the EU move, saying that 'we consider such unilateral restrictions unlawful". 'At the same time, we have acquired certain immunity from sanctions. We have adapted to living under sanctions," Peskov said in a conference call with reporters. 'We will need to analyse the new package in order to minimise negative consequences from it." The UK has Russia's spies in its sights The UK, meanwhile, imposed sanctions on units of Russia's military intelligence service, GRU. Also added to the list were 18 officers the UK said helped to plan a bomb attack on a theatre in southern Ukraine in 2022 and to target the family of a former Russian spy who was later poisoned with a nerve agent. Hundreds of civilians sheltering in the theatre in Mariupol were killed in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. 'GRU spies are running a campaign to destabilise Europe, undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and threaten the safety of British citizens," UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said. NATO also condemned Russia's cyberattacks, saying in a statement that 'we will respond to these at a time and in a manner of our choosing, in accordance with international law, and in coordination with our international partners including the EU". Targeting Russian energy interests The European Commission, the EU's executive branch, had proposed to lower the oil price cap from $60 to $45, which is lower than the market price, to target Russia's vast energy revenues. The 27 member countries decided to set the price per barrel at just under $48. The EU had hoped to get major international powers in the Group of Seven countries involved in the price cap to broaden the impact, but the Trump administration could not be brought onboard. Oil income is the linchpin of Russia's economy, allowing President Vladimir Putin to pour money into the armed forces without worsening inflation for everyday people and avoiding a currency collapse. A new import ban was also imposed in an attempt to close a loophole allowing Russia to indirectly export crude oil via a number of non-EU countries. The EU also targeted the Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany to prevent Putin from generating any revenue from them in future, notably by discouraging would-be investors. Russian energy giant Rosneft's refinery in India was hit as well. The pipelines were built to carry Russian natural gas to Germany but are not in operation. On top of that, the new EU sanctions targeted Russia's banking sector, with the aim of limiting the Kremlin's ability to raise funds or carry out financial transactions. Two Chinese banks were added to the list. Agreeing sanctions is getting harder The EU has slapped several rounds of sanctions on Russia since Putin ordered his troops into Ukraine in February 24, 2022. More than 2,400 officials and 'entities" — often government agencies, banks, companies or organisations — have been hit with asset freezes and travel bans. But each round of sanctions is getting harder to agree, as measures targeting Russia bite the economies of the 27 member nations. Slovakia held up the latest package over concerns about proposals to stop Russian gas supplies, which it relies on. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he had spoken to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico 'almost daily" in recent days to convince him to change his mind. 'But it took a very long time again — the processes are too sluggish," he told reporters in Berlin. The last raft of EU sanctions, imposed on May 20, targeted almost 200 ships in Russia's sanction-busting shadow fleet of tankers. On Friday, 105 more ships were blocked from European ports, locks and from ship-to-ship transfers, bringing the total number of vessels now sanctioned to more than 400.

Two siblings held with 325 reels of Chinese manjha
New Delhi: In a crackdown ahead of Independence Day, Delhi Police arrested two siblings from northeast Delhi's Sunder Nagri and seized 325 reels of banned Chinese manjha from their possession.
