    Third user had a witty take on the Apple company. “apple has inbuilt antvirus,” he said.

    Amid all the comments on the post, one of the users tried giving an explanation, saying that he faced a similar issue in the past. “Most likely it did not go into screen. This insect is most likely an egg that was in the screen during manufacturing. The heat generated during laptop use helped it hatch. I had the same issue around 2020. Had to fight with Apple Support in India to get the screen replaced for free. They tried to blame it on me lol.”

    I have experienced this. So please read this fully:

    However, Aditya expressed his disapproval of the theory given by the user. “No way it was inside since past 4 years (bought in 2020). Actually, on my desk I’ve noticed these tiny ants, so maybe it could’ve entered from the charging port cavity or any other entry point in the hardware,” he responded.

His wife and son, present there, rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was put on a ventilator.

    According to Rahul, Sunil was declared dead after one hour. Speaking on the incident, Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said the death could be linked with COVID vaccine. “It is a common discussion that after the COVID-19 vaccine, such cases are continuously appearing in India, where young people are dying of heart attacks while walking,” he said on X in Hindi.

  • How This Kanpur Couple Duped Rs 35 Crore By Promising Age Reversal Through ‘Israel-Made Time Machine’ |

    In the pursuit of beauty, people often resort to extreme measures—ranging from Botox and rhinoplasty to facial implants—undergoing painful surgeries just to look younger and more attractive. Capitalizing on this desire, a couple from Kanpur allegedly swindled dozens of elderly individuals out of a staggering Rs 35 crore. However, instead of offering the usual cosmetic procedures, they promised youthfulness through an ‘Israel-made time machine.’ 

    Rajeev Kumar Dubey and his wife, Rashmi Dubey, reportedly set up a therapy centre called Revival World in Kanpur’s Kidwai Nagar, where they claimed to have imported a machine from Israel that could reverse the ageing process, supposedly transforming a 60-year-old into a 25-year-old. This miraculous feat, they claimed, would be achieved through ‘oxygen therapy.’  

    Living in a rented flat in Kanpur, the couple allegedly deceived people by asserting that the city’s polluted air was accelerating the ageing process. Their ‘oxygen therapy’ was pitched as a solution that could reverse these effects within months.  

    Their packages, according to reports, started at Rs 6,000 for 10 sessions, with a more expensive option priced at Rs 90,000 for a three-year ‘reward system.’ Media sources revealed that this scheme had elements of a pyramid structure, offering rewards for each referral. 

    The scam came to light when three customers filed an FIR with local authorities. One victim accused the couple of defrauding her of Rs 10.75 lakh and claimed that hundreds of others had been cheated out of nearly Rs 35 crore. 

    Following the complaint, police registered a case of fraud and are now searching for the couple, who are believed to have fled the country.

    Dantewada: Security personnels have registered massive success in Naxal crackdown in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region as 28 Naxalites were neutralised in a fierce encounter on Friday, PTI reported citing a senior police official. 

    A gunfight erupted at around 1 PM in the forest between Thulthuli and Nendur villages, located on the Narayanpur-Dantewada inter-district border, during an anti-Naxal operation by a joint security team, according to Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range), Sundarraj P’s statement to the news agency. 

    He further informed that a total of 28 naxals were killed during the encounter that involved state police’s District Reserve Guard (DRG) and Special Task Force (STF). 

    An arsenal of weapons, including an AK-47 and a self-loading rifle (SLR), was recovered from the site of the encounter. Dantewada Superintendent of Police Gaurav Rai earlier reported that approximately 30 Naxalites were killed in the gunfight. 

    Following the recent encounter, security forces have killed a total of 185 Maoists in separate gunfights across the Bastar region, which includes seven districts like Dantewada and Narayanpur, this year, according to police. On April 16, a significant clash in Kanker district led to the deaths of 29 Naxalites, including several high-ranking cadres.

    Meanwhile, During a one-day visit to Bijapur, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai made significant statement regarding Naxalism.

  • Signs Of Thaw? EAM Jaishankar To Travel To Pakistan For SCO Summit |

    External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is set to lead the Indian delegation to Pakistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, the ministry of External Affairs said on Friday. The announcement was made by external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal Friday.

    “EAM Jaishankar will lead a delegation to Pakistan for the SCO summit, which will be held in Islamabad on 15th and 16th October,” MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a briefing.

    Pakistan is hosting the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of Government (CHG) meeting in mid-October. EAM spokesperson Jaiswal made it clear that, at this point, there are no details available on any bilateral engagements that EAM Jaishankar may have during his Pakistan visit.

    As part of the formal process, Pakistan had extended an invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the meeting. The EAM’s participation in the meeting comes as no surprise as the SCO meeting does not require heads of states to participate and Indian ministerial delegations have been attending them in the past.

    “Extending an invitation to PM Modi and all other member states is a compulsive protocol any host country follows. Pakistan has done the same. I do not see this as a political stunt. However, I do not see PM Modi landing in Islamabad,” political analyst Kamran Yousaf had told IANS in August, this year.

    Last year, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had visited India for the SCO Foreign Minister’s meeting.
