Pahalgam Mastermind, LeT-Linked Leaders Attend Shoaib Akhtar's Brother's Funeral, Video Sparks Row

The funeral of Shahid Akhtar, the elder brother of former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, has ignited controversy after videos emerged showing the presence of leaders associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its political affiliate at the funeral prayers in Islamabad. Footage circulated by the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), widely regarded as the political wing of the banned terror outfit, showed several senior party functionaries attending the Namaz-e-Janaza held at the H-8 graveyard. Among those seen in the video were PMML Islamabad chief Inam-ur-Rehman Kamboh, deputy general secretary Abdullah Toor, zonal general secretary Hafiz Umar and Khidmat Committee chairman Amjad Bhatti. LeT Deputy Chief Also Seen At Funeral The video also showed the presence of Saifullah Kasuri, identified as Lashkar-e-Taiba's deputy chief. Kasuri has drawn particular attention from Indian security agencies, which accuse him of playing a key role in planning the April 22, 2025 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed the lives of 25 tourists. Following that attack, India launched Operation Sindoor, carrying out strikes on what it described as terror infrastructure, including Lashkar-e-Taiba's headquarters in Muridke, along with military installations across Pakistan. Indian authorities have also alleged that Kasuri has continued to issue threats after the operation, including warnings of another 26/11-style attack targeting India through the sea route.

The Pakistan Markazi Muslim League was formed as a political platform linked to Hafiz Saeed and contested Pakistan's 2024 general elections despite international sanctions imposed on organisations associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba, including Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and the Milli Muslim League (MML). The appearance of PMML office-bearers and other LeT-linked figures at a public funeral has once again drawn attention to India's long-standing allegations that Pakistan has failed to dismantle extremist networks operating within its territory.

He said, “I’m very saddened to share that my beloved older brother, Shahid Akhtar, has returned to Allah Subhana wa Taala. Namaz-e-Janaza time & place will be informed in the morning.” The former cricketer has not publicly commented on the attendance of LeT-linked leaders at the funeral.

How Smartphone Apps Detect Snake-Prone Zones And Protect Families During Monsoon In India

The risk of snake encounters rises sharply during the monsoon, especially in areas close to farms, forests and villages. Every year, thousands of people in India are affected by snake bites, making early awareness and quick action critical. Technology is now playing an important role in improving safety. Several mobile apps are helping users track snake sightings, identify high-risk zones and access emergency guidance during snake-related incidents. These digital tools are proving useful for people living in snake-prone regions by offering real-time alerts, reliable information and practical support when immediate decisions can make a major difference during emergencies. Snake Alert Apps Mobile apps focused on snake safety are becoming increasingly useful in India, particularly during the rainy season, when snake activity increases. These platforms are designed to help people stay informed about nearby snake sightings and avoid high-risk areas before danger escalates. One of the widely discussed tools in this space is the Big 4 Mapper app. Its biggest feature is location-based mapping, which allows users to view areas where snakes have recently been spotted. This gives people a clearer understanding of which zones may require extra caution. The app is especially useful for farmers, residents near forest belts, and people travelling outdoors after dark. ALSO READ | Are Divorce Rings The New Trend? Designer Shahla Karimi Says Love Symbols Are Changing Big 4 Mapper App Features The app uses GPS technology to identify nearby snake-prone zones. This makes it easier for users to stay alert while moving through areas with higher snake activity. Real-time location-based information can help people avoid unnecessary risk. For those living in rural areas, this feature can serve as an important safety tool. Identifying whether a snake is venomous can be difficult, especially in stressful situations. The app helps users recognise different snake species through visual references and detailed information. This can improve awareness and reduce confusion during unexpected encounters. It also focuses on India’s most dangerous venomous snakes. ALSO READ | ABP Live Pet First | 10 Warning Signs That Require Immediate Veterinary Attention India’s Most Dangerous Snakes The app highlights four highly venomous snakes responsible for many snakebite cases in India. These include the cobra, common krait, Russell’s viper and saw-scaled viper. Awareness about these species can help people respond more cautiously during encounters. Emergency Help After Snake Bite Quick action after a snake bite can be life-saving. The app offers immediate guidance on what to do during an emergency, including basic first-aid measures and the importance of seeking urgent medical care. This is especially helpful because panic often leads people towards unsafe home remedies or ineffective traditional practices. Beyond mobile apps, several states have introduced systems that directly connect snake sightings with rescue teams and forest department officials. This allows trained personnel to safely handle and relocate snakes, reducing risk for both humans and wildlife. As snake-related risks rise during the monsoon, digital tools are becoming an important layer of protection. With alerts, identification support and emergency guidance, these apps are helping people stay informed, prepared and safer during critical moments.

Are Divorce Rings The New Trend? Designer Shahla Karimi Says Love Symbols Are Changing

Jewellery designer Shahla Karimi is changing how people think about rings, love and commitment. Based in New York, Karimi has built a brand around deeply personal jewellery that reflects relationships, emotions and individual stories rather than outdated traditions. From designing rings for divorces to creating pieces for non-traditional relationships, her work mirrors how modern love has evolved. She has also made waves in the diamond industry as a successful woman in a male-dominated business. Through her brand and reality series Diamond Divas, Karimi is pushing conversations around relationships, identity and commitment in a fresh, honest and contemporary way. Shahla Karimi Design Rings For Divorce Shahla Karimi says rings today are no longer limited to engagements or marriage. She has designed rings to mark divorces as well, reflecting how people now view jewellery as a symbol of personal journeys rather than traditional milestones alone. For Karimi, a ring can represent change, healing, and a new chapter. Her work acknowledges that love and commitment can take many forms, and jewellery can hold meaning even beyond conventional relationships. ALSO READ | ABP LIVE Doc Talk | Is Pelvic Pressure Normal After Childbirth? Experts Explain Shahla Karimi Jewellery Shahla Karimi does not traditionally approach jewellery design. For her, a ring is never just about the stone or the setting. Instead, every piece begins with a personal story. She designs jewellery around a client’s relationship, emotions and shared experiences, making each creation deeply individual. Karimi’s process starts with conversations that go far beyond jewellery preferences. She asks detailed questions about relationships, including how couples met, their first kiss, and what makes their bond unique. These conversations often become emotional because clients are encouraged to open up in unexpected ways. This personal approach helps her create pieces that carry meaning beyond aesthetics. ALSO READ | Can Pigeons Spot Cancer? Scientists Say These Birds May Help Improve Future Diagnoses Modern Love And Changing Ring Trends Karimi believes engagement culture has shifted dramatically. More couples now shop together instead of following old traditions where one partner makes the decision alone. She also sees increasing demand from same-sex couples, women proposing to men, and people in non-traditional relationships. Her clients reflect a broader change in how relationships are formed and defined today. Traditional ring styles are losing popularity. Karimi says customers are gravitating towards unusual shapes, warmer tones, and statement designs that feel personal. Solitaire rings are no longer the obvious choice. Many buyers now prefer bold rings that look more like fashion or cocktail jewellery rather than conventional engagement pieces. Building a name in the diamond business came with challenges. As a woman entering a male-dominated industry, Karimi says she often faced resistance and was underestimated. Gaining respect was not easy, and she had to navigate an environment where women were rarely taken seriously. Today, she is part of a growing wave of independent female designers reshaping the space. Karimi expanded her storytelling through Diamond Divas, a self-funded reality series focused on the women in her showroom and the diverse clients they work with. The show explores modern relationships while challenging long-standing myths around engagement rings and marriage expectations. It also offers a closer look at how love and commitment are evolving in real time. Shahla Karimi is not simply designing jewellery. She is reflecting the realities of modern relationships through every piece she creates. In doing so, she is helping redefine what commitment, love, and partnership look like today.

Air India Ends Laundry Service For Crew On International Layovers From July 1

Air India has decided to discontinue routine laundry services for pilots and cabin crew during international layovers from July 1, in a move to rein in costs. The development comes as the airline group reviews expenditure after reporting losses running into thousands of crores in the last financial year. According to a report by the Times of India, crew members were informed of the change through an internal email, which acknowledged that the decision marked a departure from a long-standing practice and would require "some adjustment". "We acknowledge that this represents a change from a long-standing arrangement during international layovers and understand this may require some adjustment," the airline stated in the communication. ALSO READ: Champat Rai Resigns: How A Chemistry Professor Became A Key Face Of Ram Mandir Movement Ironing Facilities To Replace Laundry Service Instead of hotel laundry services, Air India said an iron and ironing board would be provided in crew members' hotel rooms during overseas layovers, the TOI report stated. The airline also advised employees who anticipate needing additional uniform sets to submit requests through a designated portal and "plan accordingly for their layovers in light of this change." The laundry facility will continue to be available during domestic layovers. Air India, however, has exempted certain overseas assignments from the new policy. Laundry services will continue to be provided during "flight diversions and simulator/class training-related duties in international stations." ALSO READ: Trump Thanks India After Hyderabad Road Named 'Donald Trump Avenue' Airline Says Policy Matches Global Practice Defending the decision, Air India sources said pilots and cabin crew are issued four sets of uniforms, which they believe are sufficient to meet operational requirements during international trips while allowing time for rotation and maintenance. "This is in line with policies followed by global carriers where uniform maintenance during layovers is treated as part of routine outstation expenses covered within per diem allowances," TOI quoted its airline sources as saying. The decision has not gone down well with several crew members, as per the report. Some reacted with humour, joking that they may now have to carry a bucket, detergent and clothesline with them on international trips to keep their uniforms clean between flights.
