Gurgaon stunt videos on tractors near Cyber Hub spark probe; cops suspect AI-generated clips; no number plates, loud music, zero traffic
GURGAON: Two videos of unidentified persons performing stunts on city roads on two tractors near Cyber Hub have been making rounds on social media for the past two days, leaving even the police puzzled. The tractor occupants can be seen speeding near the Golf Course road without any check by the police. Surprisingly, the videos show minimal traffic on a road that typically experiences heavy congestion. Moreover, the tractors were seen without the number plates, with 'Shera' and 'Sniper' mentioned on the number plates.

ASI Sandeep, a police spokesperson, stated, 'We found the videos on the internet and have started our investigation, but these are seemingly AI-generated videos.' An ACP rank officer added that authorities are reviewing CCTV footage from the area before taking appropriate legal action. Several people have been charged with acts like rash driving, performing stunts on busy roads, and endangering lives in the past. On July 16, DLF 1 police registered a case against unidentified persons after a video of a Lamborghini performing stunts on Golf Course Road went viral. An FIR was lodged under BNS Sections 125 (endangering life), 281 (rash driving), and 57 (abetment of offences by the public or by more than ten persons). Authorities included Section 57 because multiple vehicles were seen trailing the Lamborghini while recording the stunt, suggesting coordinated participation. Police have yet to arrest the Lamborghini driver or identify the owner as the vehicle lacked a number plate. Earlier, on June 8, police arrested four students following a social media video that captured reckless driving and dangerous stunts on the Dwarka Expressway near Bajghera police station.

Hysterics at Puppy Tries To Get Upstairs, Is Confused by One Crucial Detail
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Animal lovers were left in stitches by a puppy who couldn't figure out the concept of a glass staircase. German shepherd dog Sniper is now 6 months old, and has a dedicated TikTok account, @sniperonduty, where he has recently gone viral. The pup's owner shares plenty of moments of life with Sniper to the account, from walks, playtime, dressing up, and even him trying to soothe his teething on a laptop. But one particular video sent millions to Sniper's page, as his owner shared a throwback to the dog as a younger puppy, who "can't figure out glass stairs." In the video, viewed more than 4.2 million times since being posted on June 21, a woman stands on a flight of glass stairs, looking down at the puppy below, who is staring up at her, looking confused. "You've got to go up the stairs," she says—but Sniper instead lets out a series of high-pitched barks and runs out of the room, trying to find a way up to her but unable to figure out the entrance to the stairs. @sniperonduty Sniper as a puppy still trying to figure out the glass stairs 😂🤦🏻♀️ he's 6 months now and still skeptical. German shepherd puppy. ♬ original sound - SniperOnDuty The owner calls him back, and tries to direct him to the staircase, but Sniper instead runs every way except up the stairs—even as he stands right beside the bottom step. "Come on, Snipe," the woman tells him. And while Sniper looks at her expectantly, the video ends with him standing at the foot of the stairs, as he still hasn't quite figured out how to walk on them. The poster wrote in the caption: "Sniper as a puppy still trying to figure out the glass stairs. He's 6 months old now and still skeptical." TikTok users had a big reaction, awarding the clip close to 300,000 likes. One commenter joked, "He thinks you're floating in the air," and another posted: "I'm on the dog's side! Lol [laugh out loud] those stairs are pretty but they look sus [suspicious]!" Some theorized that Sniper may genuinely have not been able to see the stairs due to dogs' eyes working differently to human ones: canines' vision has evolved to help them see in low light conditions, and they are more focused on movement than fine details. This means dogs may have issues with colorless glass, and may be reluctant to go through a glass door, even if it is opened. Sniper the puppy stands at the bottom of the glass staircase, unable to figure it out. Sniper the puppy stands at the bottom of the glass staircase, unable to figure it out. TikTok @sniperonduty Other commenters worried the glass staircase could be dangerous, or that Sniper would always be fearful or confused by it—but, in response, his owners shared a follow-up video showing the pup now, sprinting up the staircase without missing a beat. "Sniper was 4 months old when learning to go up the stairs. He's perfectly fine and can go up and down no problem," the poster wrote in the follow-up clip, adding: "If you own a German shepherd, you know they are just dramatic!"

A new action-thriller movie just crashed the Netflix top 10 — but there's a problem
A new military action-thriller has stormed into the Netflix U.S. charts, mere months after its digital debut. The movie in question is "Sniper: The Last Stand", the 11th installment in the long-running "Sniper" franchise of military action movies. It premiered digitally back in January, but came to the streaming service in the U.S. on May 6, 2025 — where it's proving to be a popular watch. You may like At the time of writing, "Sniper: The Last Stand" has rocketed straight to the #2 spot in Netflix's top 10 movies chart, second only to "Exterritorial," the streamer's recently added German thriller. If you're curious about Netflix's newest arrival, you can find a little bit more info about "Sniper: The Last Stand" (including our verdict) below. What is 'Sniper: The Last Stand' about? SNIPER: THE LAST STAND – Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube Watch On Danishka Esterhazy's "Sniper: The Last Stand" sees ace sniper Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) and Agent Zero (Ryan Robbins) heading to Costa Verde for a dangerous new mission. The task? To prevent an arms dealer (Arnold Vosloo) from unleashing a deadly superweapon. Together, the pair lead a group of elite soldiers against, and Brandon faces a new challenge when he's tasked with taking an untested rookie sniper with 0 confirmed kills under his wing. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Collins, Robbins and Vosloo, the movie also stars Sharon Taylor, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Scott George, Sizo Mahlangu and Noxolo Dlamini. What's the problem with 'Sniper: The Last Stand'? (Image credit: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) If you guessed "Sniper: The Last Stand" would be another passable-at-best Netflix action movie, you'd be right. I wouldn't want to rag too hard on something that's obviously a lower-budget effort, but the problem here is simply that I can't seriously recommend "Sniper: The Last Stand." A lot of the acting oscillates between wooden and over-the-top; neither our main man nor the firefights themselves are all that interesting to watch, the dialogue falls pretty flat, and the characters couldn't be much blander if they tried. It at least moves at a reasonable pace, and some of the hand-to-hand brawls are staged better than the shootouts. On the whole, though? It's just not that thrilling. And as an action movie chiefly designed to keep you on the edge of your seat, that's a problem. Given the calibre of some of the high-octane watches that are streaming on Netflix, I wouldn't say I recommend making time to watch "Sniper: The Last Stand." Frankly, you can find better adrenaline-pumping action flicks on the streamer than this. (Image credit: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) The movie hasn't received much critical attention yet, so it doesn't have a rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but elsewhere, it's garnered pretty average ratings from other viewers, too. On IMDB, it's currently sitting at a 4.6/10, and it's got an average score of 2.9/5 on Letterboxd. In other words? Not the worst scores in the world, but it's equally not putting "Sniper: The Last Stand" in must-watch territory, either. If you do just want to indulge in a bit of mindless, militarized action, the back half will serve you well, and you might want to stream "Sniper: The Last Stand" on Netflix now. But if you're not sold on Netflix's new arrival, and still want an all-guns-blazing watch for your next movie night, check out our guide to the best Netflix action movies or our overall round-up of the best movies on Netflix for plenty more streaming recommendations.

Sniper: The Last Stand OTT release date Netflix - When to watch Chad Michael Collins and Ryan Robbins' film
Sniper: The Last Stand OTT Release Date - The long-running Sniper franchise recently returned with its eleventh instalment, bringing back the familiar face of Chad Michael Collins as ace marksman Brandon Beckett. This time, Beckett is joined by Ryan Robbins, portraying Agent Zero, as they embark on a high-stakes mission to defeat a dangerous arms dealer's plan to unleash a deadly superweapon. When to watch Sniper: The Last Stand online? Sniper: The Last Stand is set to premiere on Netflix on May 6, 2025, making it accessible to a global audience. In addition to Netflix, the film is available for rent or purchase on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Video, and Zee5. What is Sniper: The Last Stand all about? In this action-packed sequel, Beckett and Agent Zero are deployed to the fictional region of Costa Verde to lead a team of elite soldiers against a relentless militia. As they race against time and dwindling resources, Beckett mentors a rookie sniper, facing the challenges of leadership and the pressures of a mission that could determine the fate of many. Other than Chad and Ryan, Sniper: The Last Stand also stars Sharon Taylor as Hera, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz as Nova and Arnold Vosloo as the arms dealer antagonist. Directed by Danishka Esterhazy and written by Sean Wathen, the film continues the legacy of the Sniper series. This is the third Sniper movie that's been released on Netflix before showing up on other streaming platforms. That's because of a deal Netflix has with Sony Pictures. The first one, Sniper: Rogue Mission, came out in December 2022. Then, Sniper: G.R.I.T. was released on Christmas Day in 2023. Both movies stayed on Netflix in the U.S. for about 18 months before being removed. Older Sniper movies also come and go from Netflix from time to time.
