Eight years after Andhra woman Sasikala Narra and her six-year-old son Anish were found stabbed to death in their New Jersey apartment, US authorities have charged Indian national Nazeer Hameed. Police said DNA taken from Hameed’s company-issued laptop matched an unknown blood droplet from the crime scene. Hameed was a colleague of Sasikala’s husband, Hanu Narra, and lived near the family before returning to India months after the murders. Investigators say he earlier stalked Hanu and may have held a personal grudge. US officials are now seeking his extradition to face murder and related charges. (PC: NDTV)

Sajeeb Wazed, son of ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, credited India with preventing his mother's assassination during last year's political crisis, expressing eternal gratitude to PM Modi's government. Speaking from Virginia, Wazed slammed Bangladesh's interim government for running an "illegal" trial that sentenced Hasina to death in absentia for allegedly ordering crackdowns on student protesters. He accused authorities of amending laws illegally, dismissing 17 judges, appointing inexperienced politically-connected replacements, and denying Hasina legal representation. The UN estimated 1,400 deaths during the July-August uprising. Wazed warned that barring the Awami League from February elections could trigger further violence as Bangladesh formally seeks Hasina's extradition from India. (PC: Awaz The Voice & Instagram)

Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen has questioned the International Crimes Tribunal’s death sentence for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. She asked why Hasina is branded a criminal while interim chief advisor Muhammad Yunus and his forces face no action. Nasreen said those who ordered firing on protesters last year should also be investigated. Hasina was found guilty of inciting violence and ordering the killing of protesters during the student uprising that removed her from power. Nasreen called the verdict biased, while Yunus praised it.

The Ministry of External Affairs has issued a travel advisory after Iran suspended its visa-waiver facility for Indian passport holders. From November 22, all Indian travellers must take a visa to enter or transit through Iran. The move follows several cases of Indians being tricked with fake job offers and then kidnapped for ransom after arriving in Iran. The MEA said many were lured by agents who misused Iran’s visa-free entry. Recent cases include men from Delhi and Punjab who were held hostage until their families paid ransom. The MEA has urged Indians to stay alert and avoid such agents. (PC: X)
