An Indian-origin man, described by UK police as a “dangerous” individual, has been convicted of the murder of a former friend due to a feud over drugs worth around 5,000 pounds. Amraj Poonia, 27, from Horley in south-east England, was found guilty of murder at a trial at the Old Bailey court in London on Thursday.

The Metropolitan Police said their four-year-long extensive and detailed police investigation into the murder of Mohammed Shah Subhani, 27, dates back to when he was murdered in west London and his body was eventually recovered in a woodland in December 2019. “We have achieved justice for Shah, his family, and his partner by securing these convictions against the man responsible for his cowardly murder and those who helped to dispose of his body,” said Detective Chief Inspector Vicky Tunstall. “Amraj Poonia is a da...

India is an "indispensable" partner in achieving a free and open Indo-Pacific and Japan intends to deepen cooperation with New Delhi in all areas to expand the special strategic and global partnership between the two sides, Japanese foreign minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said on Friday.

The Japanese foreign minister was speaking at the India-Japan Forum, convened by Ananta Centre and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

A portion of a building perched on a hillside collapsed in a matter of seconds and fell into the valley in Mizoram's capital today. Dramatic videos of the collapse show the structure standing one second and gone the next while a woman is heard screaming. The falling portion can also be seen taking down parts of the main building with it. The incident took place in the Zohnuai locality of Aizawl. The building was home to five families, all of whom were evacuated when the structure began to shake.  An additional 18 families living close to the building have also been evacuated, said officials.
