Trump Kill Bid: How a Series of Security Lapses, Failures Led to Near Fatal Shooting | Details

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection.

BIG TROUBLE! Amit Malviya Accused Of ‘Sexual Exploitation’ by RSS’s Shantanu Sinha, Congress Reacts

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate has called for the immediate removal of Amit Malviya, head of the BJP IT Cell, following serious allegations of exploitation. Shrinate highlighted accusations made by Shantanu Sinha, an RSS member linked to BJP leader Rahul Sinha, who claimed Malviya was involved in nefarious activities, including the exploitation of women in 5-star hotels and BJP offices in West Bengal. Emphasising the gravity of the charges, Shrinate insisted that justice for the women involved is paramount and that an independent inquiry is only possible if Malviya is removed from his influential position.
