4 Rich Kids Found In Drugs Network
Hyderabad: In yet another shocking development in the sensational drugs scam, police on Thursday identified four youths belonging to rich and influential families in the city. Besides Tollywood celebrities, the drugs mafia kingpin Mascarenhas Calvin is also believed to have supplied the 'grass' to several youths from rich families. He was operating his business through a darknet website with restricted access. Only those in the close circle would be allowed to access the website which was blocked after the arrest of the dealer on July 2.
The four youths that include the son of an IAS officer, doctor, a company director and a software engineer procured drugs frequently through the website. Based on the disclosures made by Calvin during the interrogation, the police identified the youths and counseled them at a secret location to protect their identity. However, neither the police nor the Excise officials confirmed their names.
It's also learnt that a few teenage boys studying at some international schools in the city had also procured drugs from Calvin. The police are trying to contain the drug menace on the basis of information gathered from him.
Meanwhile, the SIT investigating the case is questioning actor Subbaraju at Excise and Enforcement office on Friday. Popular director Puri Jagannadh and cameraman Shyam K. Naidu were questioned on the first and second day respectively and a total of 12 persons were summoned from the movie industry. The interrogation of one person per day will continue till July 29.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
