US man beats sleeping passenger
  • A U.S. man is facing charges of assaulting a sleeping passenger.
  • The attack happened on flight UA2247.
  • He physically attacked a sleeping male passenger by punching him.

A man in the U.S. is facing criminal charges for assaulting a sleeping passenger on a United Airlines flight. According to The New Zealand Herald, the incident was described as a random and brutal attack.

According to a lawsuit filed by the FBI in Virginia, the attack happened on flight UA2247, which was traveling from San Francisco to Dulles International Airport on October 28, 2024. Two hours into the flight, Everett Chad Nelson, a Florida resident, went to the bathroom. On his way back to his seat, he unexpectedly assaulted a 44-year-old man who was sleeping.

The court documents indicate that Nelson “without notice, began physically attacking a sleeping male passenger by punching him repeatedly in the face and head until blood was drawn.” The attack lasted about a minute before other passengers stepped in to help. The victim ended up with two black eyes and a cut on his nose.

Sandhya Gupta, who was sitting behind the victim, told ABC7 News, “He was just very violently and very aggressively just pummeling the guy… This wasn’t like a bar room… I mean, this was vicious.” Nelson is charged with assault and is set to appear in court on December 11, 2024.

US woman sues Netflix for portraying her villain in ‘The Manhattan Alien Abduction’

by
Netflix
  • A U.S. woman who claimed to be abducted by aliens has sued Netflix.
  • She argued that its documentary portrays her as a villain.
  • She had claimed that aliens took her from her 12th-floor apartment.

A U.S. woman who claims she was abducted by aliens has sued Netflix, arguing that the documentary “The Manhattan Alien Abduction” portrays her as a villain for dramatic effect.

Linda Napolitano, now 77, first made headlines in 1989 when she alleged that she was taken by aliens from her 12th-floor apartment in Lower Manhattan.

In her claim, Napolitano said, “They take me up, all the way up. [The spaceship] opens almost like a clam and then I’m inside. I’m gonna shut my eyes. I don’t wanna see.” She described being examined by alien creatures and feeling like a lab rat. This story was later detailed in a book by UFO researcher Budd Hopkins.

Years later, she claimed that aliens targeted her family, causing them to suffer from “nosebleeds.” Her son, Johnny, who appeared in the documentary with his identity hidden, said, “It’s got to be the most terrifying and hopeless thing that I’ve ever felt.”

The documentary includes commentary from Carol Rainey, Hopkins’s widow, who questions Napolitano’s account. Napolitano alleges that Rainey is presented as an “expert” when she is really “an embittered, alcoholic ex-wife hell bent on revenge.” She believes the docuseries will ruin her reputation as “an honest and decent person.”

Punjab installs 30 modern air quality monitors to combat pollution

LAHORE: The capital of Punjab, Lahore has ranked second most polluted city in the world due to the poor air quality while provincial government has imposed green lockdown in different areas of the city.

The air quality of Lahore is still extremely harmful to health, due to which Lahore is the second most polluted city in the world, while the capital of India, New Delhi, is the first in terms of bad air quality.

The smog has also affected the nearby cities, including Kasur, Sheikhupura, Muridke and Gujranwala.

Due to the change in the speed and direction of the winds, there has been a slight reduction in pollution.

However, the Punjab government has decided to strictly continue the measures to prevent smog and reduce pollution regardless of the change in the direction of the winds.

It should be noted that a green lockdown has been implemented in Punjab to prevent smog, under which schools for special children have been directed to take classes online, while many offices have also been ordered to work from home.

A complete ban has been imposed on construction activities in the green lockdown areas, the plying of motor rickshaws has also been banned in these areas.

Earlier, Punjab government had issued an emergency alert for Lahore due to an alarming level of smog.

Air pollution has peaked to a ‘hazardous’ level, leaving almost the whole of the provincial capital in the grip of smog.

Lahore was ranked the most polluted city in the world with the citizens exposed to the risk of various diseases. After struggling to protect the environment of the city, the Punjab government has sought public cooperation to curb smog.

American rapper Young Thug released after pleading guilty to criminal case

by
Young Thug
  • Rapper Young Thug was released from jail on Thursday.
  • He pleaded guilty to involvement in drugs and firearms.
  • He was among 28 alleged gang members.

Rapper Young Thug was released from jail on Thursday after pleading guilty to charges related to gang involvement, drugs, and firearms. This marked a surprising turn in the longest trial in Georgia’s history. The 33-year-old artist, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, was among 28 alleged gang members indicted in May 2022 on racketeering charges.

Prosecutors claimed Young Thug was the leader of YSL, or Young Slime Life, which is associated with the Bloods gang. He faced accusations under state racketeering laws, with charges including murder, assault, carjacking, drug dealing, and theft.

Young Thug entered a no contest plea to racketeering and acknowledged being a leader of a criminal gang. He also pleaded guilty to six other charges related to firearms and drugs. According to The New York Times, he was sentenced to time served and 15 years of probation by Judge Paige Reese Whitaker.

Online jail records confirmed his release under his birth name, with the charges listed as “time served” or “probation.” Jury selection began in January 2023, but the trial didn’t start until November. Prosecutors argued that YSL was a crime organization, stating, “The evidence will show that YSL checks all of the boxes for being a criminal street gang.” The defense claimed YSL is simply Young Thug’s music label, not a gang.

by
Naqvi

LAHORE: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi accorded a stately welcome to the visiting overseas Sikh yatrees(pilgrims) and invited them to the State Guest House in Lahore for a luncheon.

The 44-member Sikh yatrees delegation from the United States (US) is led by Dr. Dilvir Singh Panu, Surjeet Singh Hoti, Ranjeet Singh Kahlon and Lakshman Singh.

Welcoming the Sikh yatrees, the Interior Minister said the government had created ease for the Sikh yatrees to visit their places of worship in Pakistan, adding that the Sikhs had to face difficult in acquisition of visa in the past.

“During my stint as Chief Minister Punjab, I tried to resolve the issues faced by the Sikh yatrees,” Naqvi said, adding it was a priority to facilitate the Sikh yatrees in Pakistan.

He said the visa process had been made easy for the American, Canadian and British Sikhs, adding they could apply for the free of charge visa online now.

“The Sikhs holding British, American and Canadian passports may get a visa within 30 minutes if they apply for the visa online,” the Interior Minister said. He said the American, Canadian and British Sikhs of Indian origin may also avail this facility.

He said the yatrees would be welcomed with the same warmth whether they visited Pakistan once or multiple times in a year.

“The land of Pakistan is as holy for the Sikhs as Saudi Arabia for Muslims,” Naqvi acknowledged, adding that the other holy sites of the Sikh community would be opened and no permit would be required for the visit.

He said the Sikh yatrees would be able to visit other holy places in future besides Hasan Abdal, Kartarpur, Nankana Sahib and Lahore, adding that all obstacles would be removed in this regard.

 

The Interior Ministers said the government wished that more and more Sikh yatrees including the young Sikh should visit Pakistan to pay homage to the father of Sikh religion Baba Guru Nanka Dev Ji.

Sean Diddy
  • A new witness has come forward in the case of Sean Diddy.
  • The witness has claimed to have evidence against Diddy.
  • Attorney Ariel Mitchell shared that her client has videos as proof.

In the ongoing case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, a new witness has come forward, claiming to have important information and evidence that supports the accusations against him.

The witness testified before a federal grand jury in Manhattan, while Diddy remains in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting his trial, which is set for May 5, 2025.

Attorney Ariel Mitchell shared with reporters that her unnamed client testified, claiming to have videos featuring celebrities who may have been harmed by Diddy.

According to CNN, Mitchell confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security first contacted this witness during the investigation. She stated, “My client was subpoenaed and has the evidence required to prove that her allegations against Diddy are true.”

The subpoena reportedly requested all digital records related to Diddy. The witness also mentioned she possesses unedited writings from Kim Porter, Diddy’s late ex-girlfriend and mother of four of his children. Mitchell suggested they plan to collaborate with Amazon to publish this material, although no timeline has been set.
