The Supercar Blog identified the black-coloured car as a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Porsche 911 prices in India start at ₹2 crore.
The sight of an expensive car destroyed led to condemnation from auto enthusiasts.
'They don't know how hard the owner must have worked to get it,' wrote one Instagram user.
'Notice how this is the only car I can see that's burnt at first glance. No other car nearby has been damaged like this one. It's truly sad to see people destroying others' property just because it's expensive or out of the ordinary. Really disheartening to watch,' another pointed out.
On Saturday night, police had made more than 500 arrests across France, the interior ministry said, after more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths.
In the southwest town of Dax, a 17-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the chest. A 23-year-old man riding a scooter in central Paris also died after being hit by a vehicle.

Middle-East Conflict: Who is Mossad's ‘Female Spy' Behind Irans Destruction?
Israel-Iran Tensions: As both nations continue exchanging aerial strikes, Iran's intelligence agencies and Israel's Mossad are engaged in the tensions as well, and over the past 24 hours, one name has reportedly surfaced. That face is of a female Mossad agent dubbed the 'Lady Killer' in Iran. But who is this operative, and how did she allegedly become a game-changer for Israel in Tehran? In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed the alleged female spy of Israel's agency: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | मोसाद की 'लेडी किलर' का 'ऑपरेशन ईरान'. ईरान की बर्बादी में किस 'औरत' का हाथ? मोसाद की एक महिला जासूस के बड़े खेल का खुलासा हुआ है, जिसने ईरान में घुसपैठ की.... इसके बाद शिया इस्लाम कबूल किया और देश के बड़े अफसरों के घरों तक पहुंच बना ली...और ईरान की बर्बादी… — Zee News (@ZeeNews) June 20, 2025 Over the last eight days, nine top Iranian military commanders — from army chiefs to IRGC leaders — have been eliminated by Israel. Every time, Israeli jets targeted the exact building where these officials were present, delivering fatal strikes. Faced with the loss of so many senior commanders, Iranian intelligence went on high alert. Once they began connecting the dots between these strikes, one name emerged — Katherine Perez Sheked. Iranian intelligence discovered that Mossad had planted a female spy named Katherine in Tehran, and it was through her that Mossad had been allegedly receiving pinpoint information on the top Iranian military leadership. The Iranian agencies have not captured her. According to VAJA, Iran's intelligence agency, the "spy" is a French national trained by Mossad. After completing her training, she came to Iran and expressed interest in Shia Islam. Katherine even converted, after which she started moving among the wives of senior Iranian officers. Visiting their homes and winning their trust, she quietly began gathering intelligence on Iran's top commanders. Katherine kept sending this information to Mossad, which then directed the Israeli air force to the precise locations where Iranian commanders would be. Other Female Spies In History Intelligence agencies have reportedly used women operatives worldwide for complex missions. First on that list is Indian-origin Noor Inayat Khan. During World War II, Noor joined Britain's SOE and was sent to Nazi-occupied Paris to relay information from the French resistance. From June to September 1943, she carried out her work in secret until she was eventually arrested by German forces. In 1944, she was executed. After World War II, during the Cold War, the CIA relied on a spy named Yona Montague. A former bank employee, she was placed in banks across Eastern Europe — then under Soviet influence — and supplied vital information to the CIA for 15 years. She was never caught and retired from the agency in 1993. And during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, there was Heba Selim, an Egyptian who spied for Mossad. After marrying an Egyptian officer, she passed on critical information — including air defense layouts — to Mossad, allowing Israel to inflict serious damage. Heba was eventually caught by Egyptian police in 1974 and executed alongside her husband.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov on why he fathered over 100 kids: ‘They are all…'
Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of instant messaging app Telegram, said he will leave his estimated $13.9 billion fortune for more than 100 children he has fathered. File photo of Pavel Durov(AFP) In an interview with French political magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old revealed that he is the 'official father' of six children with three different partners, while the scores of others came through sperm donation. The Russia-born tech tycoon, who recently wrote his will, said he does not differentiate between his legal children and those who were conceived with the sperm he donated. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death,' CNN quoted Durov as saying. The businessman stated that he 'started donating sperm 15 years ago' at a clinic to help his friend. Later on, he was informed that 'more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries.' This isn't the first time Durov has addressed this matter. Last year, he shared on Telegram that a doctor told him that it was his 'civic duty' to donate his 'high quality donor material'. However, Durov told the magazine that none of his children will be granted access to their inheritance for 30 years. Why so? Durov, currently in Dubai, wants them to live like 'normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account.' Asked why he wrote his will at the age of 40, Durov said his job involves risk as defending freedoms earns you many enemies, including within powerful states. Durov asserted that he wants to protect his children as well as Telegram, which looks forward to remaining 'faithful to the values I defend.' He even spoke about the criminal charges he faces in France, where he was arrested last year on charges relating to a host of crimes. These included allegations that Telegram was complicit in aiding drug traffickers as well as people spreading child pornography, according to CNN. Durov has called these charges 'absurd.' FAQs: 1. What is Pavel Durov's net worth? According to Bloomberg, he has an estimated net worth of $13.9 billion. 2. Where is Pavel Durov now? Durov is currently in Dubai, where his company is based. He holds dual citizenship of France and the UAE. 3. When was Telegram launched? Durov founded Telegram in 2013. The social media app remains highly popular in Russia.

Social media influencer found dead after disturbing Facebook Live, ‘I need help'
Zaria Khadejah Carr, a 27-year-old social media influencer, was found dead at her home in Twin City, Georgia. She had 35,000 followers on Facebook. Hours before her death, she went live on Facebook asking for help. The social media influencer was known as Duchess Dior. During the live video, her husband, Shamarcus Carr, 29, was seen arguing with her and holding a knife. He also made strange comments, saying 'the devil' was stopping him from sharing a message. Later, when police tried to arrest him, Shamarcus took his own life. Police are still investigating the case. The official cause of Zaria's death has not been confirmed. Just three hours before her body was found, Zaria posted a worrying message on Facebook under the name Duchess Dior. 'I really don't know what to do. But, I need help before I lose my life or freedom! My kids need me!' International Business Times quoted her as saying. The post shocked her followers, who quickly asked others to call emergency services. Shamarcus, known as 'The Frenchman' on Facebook, often shared videos about his French bulldog breeding business. His wife, Zaria, was also seen in many of his posts. Zaria's death is now under investigation, along with Shamarcus's. Some online viewers say parts of a heated argument between the couple were seen on a livestream. In it, Zaria reportedly accused him of not helping at home but spending on other women. At one point, he was seen with a knife though Zaria appeared to laugh and downplay the threat. So far, police and investigators haven't shared how Zaria died. A post-mortem report is awaited. When police reached her home, Zaria's car was missing. Shamarcus was also gone. Later that night, police found the car about 80 miles away in Wayne County. When officers tried to stop the car, Shamarcus shot himself. He was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries.
