A thick layer of smog enveloped Delhi’s Anand Vihar on Saturday as the Air Quality Index (AQI) plummeted to 334, classified as ‘very poor’, raising health concerns across the national capital. The Central Pollution Control Board has warned that prolonged exposure to this level of pollution can cause severe respiratory illnesses, especially for vulnerable groups.

Adding to the pollution, temperatures remain higher than usual, with the IMD reporting maximum temperatures of around 34-35 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures dropping to 18 degrees Celsius. The current wind patterns are contributing to stagnant air, trapping pollutants, and exacerbating the already critical situation.

A suspected member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has reportedly issued a threat to the Mumbai Traffic Police, demanding Rs 5 crore from actor Salman Khan to resolve the ongoing dispute with the gangster. The message warned that if the payment was not made, Salman’s fate could be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was killed last week.

The message stated, "If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and wants to end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, then he will have to pay Rs 5 crore. Do not take this lightly, otherwise Salman Khan's condition will be worse than Baba Siddique."

An Indian RAW official was involved in a plot to kill a separatist Sikh American national last summer in and around the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, federal prosecutors alleged on Thursday in a damaging indictment filed in a US court in New York.



The official identified as Vikas Yadav, 39, was employed by the Cabinet Secretariat, which houses India's foreign intelligence service, the RAW, the federal prosecutors claimed.



Yadav, who is believed to be no longer a government employee, has been charged with three counts, including murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
