How software engineer wanted for Hyderabad techie’s US murder was traced to Agra

How software engineer wanted for Hyderabad techie’s US murder was traced to Agra AGRA/HYDERABAD: A fugitive software engineer wanted by US authorities for allegedly murdering his former girlfriend in Maryland over a monetary dispute was arrested from Agra, where he had been hiding in an apartment. Arjun Sharma, 27, was produced before the court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate Animesh Bhaskar Mani Tripathi at Patiala House in Delhi on Thursday. Sharma allegedly killed 27-year-old Nikitha Godishala on December 31, 2025, at his apartment in Maryland and later fled to India to evade arrest and prosecution in the US. Delhi court clears way for extradition proceedings The Delhi court ordered that Sharma, a native of Chennai, be taken into custody, noting that the charges against him meet the criteria for extradition under the India-US Extradition Treaty. Proceedings on the US extradition request and the supporting evidence are underway. Sharma was arrested from Agra on August 24 by a Telangana Police team. He was hiding at Shankar Green Residential Society in the Ekta police station area. The Telangana Police action followed an Interpol Red Corner Notice and an extradition request from US authorities.

Advocates' Association of Western India becomes first bar body to reserve President post for women

Advocates' Association of Western India becomes first bar body to reserve President post for women The Advocates' Association of Western India (AAWI) has passed a resolution reserving the post of its president for women effective from the next election. The post will be reserved for women once in every three elections. This will make AAWI the first bar body in India to reserve the post of president for women lawyers. Besides the post of president, the post of secretary will be reserved for women during the first of the two non-reserved presidential terms. The decision was taken at a special general body meeting held on August 21 when the bar body unanimously approved amendments to its Rules and Constitution. “In its 162 years of existence, AAWI has never had a woman occupy the post of President. Today's decision marks a historic and long-overdue correction, ensuring that a woman member will lead the Association once in every three terms," a statement by the bar association said. The proposed proviso to Rule 3(a) states that the office of president shall be reserved for a woman member of the association in each third term. This reservation applies to the term immediately following two terms without reservation.

Toxic takedown? YouTubers, influencers receive legal notice over negative reviews

YouTubers, influencers receive legal notice over negative reviews Toxic takedown? YouTubers, influencers receive legal notice over negative reviews YouTubers and influencers who reviewed Yash's Toxic have received legal notices from the film's producers. The move has sharpened attention on the gap between critical opinion and allegedly false or defamatory content. Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups completed a day in theatres, but the film's release has already sparked a different kind of conversation online. YouTubers and influencers who posted critical reviews of the Yash-starrer appear to have received legal notices from the film's team, raising questions about how far filmmakers can go to control negative content. The development comes days after the producers secured an ex-parte interim injunction from a Bengaluru court restraining the publication or circulation of "false or defamatory content" about the film. YouTubers, influencers get legal notice YouTuber Suraj Kumar, on Thursday, shared a screenshot of a legal notice he received over his Toxic review. The notice was sent by Bengaluru-based Aiplex Software Private Limited on behalf of KVN-Monster Mind Creations LLP, identified in the communication as the producer and copyright owner of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups.
