Uttar Pradesh woman poisons son, daughter to be on 'honeymoon' with lover

A 24-year-old woman in Rodkali village here allegedly, with the help of her lover, killed two of her children because she considered them to be an obstacle in her love affair, police said on Friday.
Muskan, the woman, has been arrested, while the purported lover, Junaid, is on the run, they said.
Muskan's two children, son Arhan and daughter Enaya, aged five and one, were found dead Thursday in their home in suspicious circumstances, Senior Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar told reporters.
"Investigation revealed the mother's involvement in the deaths, and she was taken into custody. During interrogation, she confessed to the crime," said the Officer.
Muskan said she found her children to be an obstruction in her starting a new life with her lover, Junaid, so she decided to kill them, Kumar said.
"She gave them poison, which caused their death," the officer added.
Muskan had been in an illicit relationship with Junaid for a long time. Her husband, Waseem, is currently working in Chandigarh.
The couple allegedly planned to go for a "honeymoon" after killing the two children, police said.

Woman's body found in water drum: 9 years later, Thane court acquits bank staffer, says no proof he murdered her

More than nine years after a woman's body was found in a water drum in Thane, three months after she went missing, a sessions court this week acquitted the main accused in the case, a private bank staffer, citing lack of evidence. Neha Pawar had gone missing in July 2016, following which her father filed a complaint with the Mumbra police station in Thane district. The complaint said that Pawar, who worked at the Kurla branch of a private bank, had not returned home from work. Nearly three months later, the owner of a flat in the same neighbourhood as the victim's, called the police about a foul smell emanating from a room she had given on rent to a man named Vijaykumar Bharati. The police broke open the door and found Pawar's body in a water drum. Bharati was booked on charges of murder. The police claimed that he knew Pawar and had killed her over her refusal to marry him following frequent quarrels between them. During the trial, witnesses, including people staying in the neighbourhood and Pawar's mother, were examined. The court, however, said that there was no proof to show that it was Bharati who had murdered Pawar, even though the police claimed that the body was found in a room that he used to stay on rent. '…it cannot be said that the chain of circumstances pointing to the accused being perpetrator of the crime has been made out, and in such circumstances, even if it is taken that the dead body was found in the room where the accused was residing, and the victim was on visiting terms with the accused, that by itself would not be sufficient to conclude that the prosecution has been successful in bringing home the guilt of the accused, although a finger of suspicion can be raised towards him,' Thane sessions judge S B Agarwal said in the order passed on Wednesday. The court noted that the case was entirely based on circumstantial evidence, but there was no cogent proof about the accused's involvement.

Fury and fear rise across US as Trump's immigration enforcement intensifies

Live Events After night fell on the outskirts of Los Angeles on Thursday, around 50 people clanged metal pots and blasted air horns outside a hotel in a noisy bedtime protest targeting US immigration "No Sleep For ICE" rally underscored growing anger at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a once obscure agency that has become the focal point of President Donald Trump 's migrant crackdown."They terrorize our community the entire day. Why do they get a good night's sleep?" said Nathanael Landaverde, 23, who banged a dismantled frying pan at the images have shown federal agents, often masked and sometimes armed with assault rifles, chasing down migrants and handcuffing them at courthouses, farms and on the streets.(Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates)ICE officials have also detained some US citizens for allegedly intervening in arrests, including a mayoral candidate in New York this week. The heavy-handed approach has sparked fear among immigrants and infuriated many Americans, particularly in liberal cities such as Los Angeles, where large-scale street protests erupted this month over ICE raids."If they don't sleep they're not gonna do their job effectively. They're gonna get less people," added Landaverde, as passing vehicles honked in apparent support for the late-night was not certain whether ICE agents were staying at the three-star hotel, but protest organizers claimed to have photo evidence. Dozens of people danced to a deafening cacophony as they waved signs reading "No rest for ICE" and "ICE out of LA" towards the hotel, where some guests peered through the woman simply screamed into a megaphone. Another man wore earmuffs as he blasted distorted white noise through a speaker. "They're ripping families apart, and it's horrifying to watch in my community. They can't sleep if they're gonna do that here," said Juliet Austin, 22, who was playing a small blue was elected to a second term in large part for his promise to deport thousands of migrants. But alongside their aggressive tactics, critics have denounced federal immigration agents for wearing face masks to hide their identities -- a highly unusual but legal practice in US law enforcement."At what point will we as a nation find ourselves with a secret police?" Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute think tank, wrote last month. "For the Trump administration, turning masked raids into standard practice fits into a wider effort to dodge accountability for potentially illegal and unconstitutional actions," he California, lawmakers have introduced the "No Secret Police Act" that would restrict federal agents from wearing masks. Federal officials have rejected this criticism by claiming that agents wear masks to protect them from potential ICE has frequently boasted about its activities and posted pictures of detained migrants on social it crucially still enjoys Trump's support, who last weekend praised ICE agents' "incredible strength, determination, and courage." Still, anger over ICE looks unlikely to go away as long as immigration arrests continue, and protesters Thursday were adamant they would not back down."I think it's a modern Gestapo here in America," said Austin, a dance teacher. "This city is not the one to mess with... We're not gonna let it happen. We're not tired," she added.
