Iran President, Foreign Minister Die In Helicopter Crash.

About thirty minutes into the journey, the chopper carrying President Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and other officials lost communication.

Iran President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in East Azerbaijan province on Sunday, Iranian media said. The chopper carrying Iran President Raisi and his foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian had disappeared over a mountainous region

There was “no sign” of life among passengers of the helicopter, Iran’s state television said. “Upon finding the helicopter, there was no sign of the helicopter passengers being alive as of yet,” the state TV said. 

This incident follows a period of heightened regional tensions, particularly in light of the Gaza conflict and Iran’s recent escalations with Israel. President Raisi, who has been in office since 2021, has pledged Iran’s steadfast support for Palestine, a stance reiterated during his recent dam inauguration speech.

Here are the LIVE updates on Iran President’s helicopter crash:

JEE Advanced 2024: Key Chapters by Subject for Last Week.

JEE Advanced 2024: With the exam set on May 26, students are already well into their study sessions for JEE Advanced. As the exam provides entry to the nation’s most sought-after IIT institutes, candidates should strengthen their preparation with a solid plan.

In order to assist students in streamlining their study methods during the final week, the article concentrates on subject-by-subject preparation for the forthcoming exam.

Also Read RBSE 12th Result 2024 Live Updates: BSER Rajasthan Board Class 12 Results Link After Press Conference.

Physics

As the exam is just a few days away, students should concentrate on chapters that carry a lot of weight. Work power energy, Current Electricity, Laws of Thermodynamics, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current, Magnetic Effects of Current, and Electrostatics are all very important from the standpoint of JEE Advanced 2024.

It is strongly advised that applicants review the key ideas on the subjects. Reviewing difficulties that have already been resolved can help to reinforce understanding rather than creating new ones. This method helps with concept reinforcement as well as error detection and correction, which is an important part of exam preparation. Furthermore, students may benefit from memorization of important formulas and derivations during the exam.

Chemistry

In Chemistry, Chemical bonding and molecular structure, General organic chemistry, Electrochemistry, Carbonyl Compounds — aldehydes and Ketones, and Atomic structure are important topics that are more likely to be asked in exams.

When studying Chemistry, one should be well-versed in the important reactions and the various organic chemistry mechanisms. Considering that chemical bonding and periodic tables form the basis for various concepts, during preparation, students should focus on getting a good grasp of the fundamentals to amplify their performance in the section.

Mathematics

To score well in Mathematics, prioritise Continuity and Differentiation, Definite integration, Circle, Probability, and Differential Equations. Students should solve as many mock tests as possible and time themselves to increase their speed and accuracy while solving the problems. Going back to the notes maintained over the year can be very helpful in keeping the important formulas at the tip of the finger.

While the subject-wise strategy is essential, it’s equally important to cover the entire syllabus and not solely focus on high-weightage chapters. Regularly solving mock tests can familiarize students with the paper pattern and enhance their application of concepts.

Ruskin Bond Paid More to Enter the Temple After Being Compared to a “Foreigner.”

Celebrated writer Ruskin Bond, who turned 90 today, related an event in which he was told he was a “foreigner” and had to pay extra to visit the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha.

  • Ruskin Bond turned 90 on Sunday
  • He paid extra at Odisha’s Konark Sun Temple to avoid arguing he wasn’t a foreigner
  • Ruskin Bond identifies himself as an Indian despite being born to British parents

Born in 1934 to British parents in Himachal Pradesh’s Kasauli, Bond has always identified himself as an Indian and has lived in India for several years. Despite his strong connection to India and his identification as an Indian, Bond has faced instances where people perceive him as a foreigner living in the country.

“They charge extra from foreigners for entering Konark (Sun Temple in Odisha). I said, ‘I am not a foreigner, I am an Indian’. But then to avoid an argument I paid extra,” he told news agency PTI.

There was a Sardar Ji behind me. Despite his British passport, they let him entry. He laughed, “He wasn’t charged more because he didn’t look like a foreigner.

According to Bond’s previous statements, he is an Indian not only by birth but also by choice, and he has acknowledged and experienced the changes India has undergone both before and after independence.

He has authored more than 500 novels, essays, and short stories, as well as 69 children’s books. He has also won numerous honours, including the Padma Bhushan, the Sahitya Akademi, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, and the Padma Shri.

Saudi King Salman to Get Lung Inflammation Treatment at Palace.

According to the state-run Saudi Press Agency, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia is undergoing antibiotic treatment at Al Salam Palace in Jeddah due to lung inflammation.

Who is Saudi Arabia’s King Salman?

King Salman held positions as Defence Minister and Governor of the central Riyadh region before to ascending to the throne of Saudi Arabia. He has been 88 years old and king or queen since 2015.

Mohammed bin Salman, his son, is widely regarded as the de facto ruler of the nation and was named crown prince in 2017.

The Kingdom at the time denied rumours that the king was getting ready to abdicate and give way to his son.

In 2020, King Salman had surgery to remove his gallbladder.

In March 2022, he was hospitalized to change the battery of his pacemaker.

Since stepping into the limelight, the crown prince has implemented social and economic reforms in an apparent push to make Saudi Arabia less reliant on oil in the future.

Saudi Arabia has undertaken major construction projects, including building the desert city of Neomunder Mohammed bin Salman, with the goal of increasing tourism to the kingdom.

The prince has also overseen a crackdown on dissent.

According to the state-run Saudi Press Agency, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia is undergoing antibiotic treatment at Al Salam Palace in Jeddah due to lung inflammation.

The 88-year-old monarch suffered joint pain and a high fever, the agency said early on Sunday. At the Royal Clinics at Al Salam Palace, he was examined by medical professionals.

He was admitted to the hospital in April and then left after receiving a standard examination, according to SPA at the time.

Since 2015, King Salman has been in charge of the biggest oil exporter in the world. Most of Saudi Arabia’s daily operations are managed by his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman III.

This week, the crown prince was supposed to make his uncommon journey outside of the Middle East—to Japan. The Japanese government stated that MBS, as he is known, was scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during the May 20–23 visit.

In a thrilling encounter, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) emerged victorious over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 27 runs, securing their place in the playoffs of IPL 2024. Rachin Ravindra’s explosive 61 off 37 balls and Faf du Plessis’s solid 54 off 39 balls laid a strong foundation for RCB. On the bowling front, Shardul Thakur and Yash Dayal delivered crucial spells, each taking two wickets, helping RCB to restrict CSK effectively.

Despite a valiant effort, CSK couldn’t chase down the target, leading to their elimination from the tournament. This win not only bolsters RCB’s confidence as they head into the playoffs but also marks a disappointing end to CSK’s campaign. RCB’s all-round performance highlights their potential as strong contenders for the title this season.

Swati Maliwal Case: ‘Slapped 7-8 Times, Kicked in Chest, Stomach’, FIR Details Against Arvind Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar.

Swati Maliwal detailed a harrowing account, accusing Mr Kumar of slapping her 7-8 times on the face and hitting her chest, stomach, and sensitive parts.

Slapped, dragged, and kicked in the chest – AAP leader Swati Maliwal’s complaint against Bibhav Kumar, an aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, raises serious charges of assault. Ms. Maliwal claims that on Monday morning, she was assaulted by Mr. Kumar in the drawing room of the Chief Minister’s official residence, with Mr. Kejriwal present in the house at the time.

In the FIR filed last night, Ms Maliwal said she arrived at Arvind Kejriwal’s home at 6, Flag Staff Road, Civil Lines, and attempted to contact the chief minister’s aide but received no response. She said she informed the staff of her presence and was asked to wait in the drawing room.

She alleged that while she was waiting, Bibhav Kumar burst into the room and started verbally abusing her. Ms Maliwal gave harrowing details, accusing Mr Kumar of slapping her seven times on the face and hitting her chest, stomach, and sensitive parts. “Bibhav came and started abusing and kept slapping without provocation,” Ms Maliwal claimed in her complaint. “I made noise and said ‘Let me go’, but he kept beating me continuously and abusing me in Hindi. He threatened, ‘We will see, we will deal with it’. I informed him that I was menstruating and in considerable pain, begging him to leave me alone.”

“I felt absolutely shocked and was screaming for help over and over again. In order to protect myself, I pushed him away with my legs. At that time, he pounced on me, brutally dragged and deliberately pulled my shirt up,” the FIR reads. “Bibhav Kumar did not relent and attacked me by kicking me in my chest, stomach and pelvis area with his legs.”

Ms Maliwal added in her complaint that she managed to run out of the house and call the police.

“I was in a terrible state of shock at this attack. I was deeply traumatised and called the 112 number and reported the incident,” Mr Maliwal stated in the FIR.

When the security personnel arrived, instead of assisting Ms Maliwal, they allegedly followed Mr Kumar’s instruction to throw her out. Despite her condition, she was forced to leave and wait outside the Chief Minister’s residence until the police arrived.

“Bibhav came back with the security personnel working at the main gate. I kept telling them that I was brutally beaten up and they should look at my condition and wait until the police comes but they asked me to leave the premises,” Ms Maliwal’s statement reads.

Late last night, Delhi Police escorted Ms Maliwal to the AIIMS Trauma Centre for a medical checkup. When the police reached Mr Kumar’s residence in the Chandrawal Nagar area of the national capital, he was missing. Teams from the Crime Branch and Special Cell are looking for Mr Kumar, aiming to bring him into custody.

The Delhi Police registered an FIR under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including assault or criminal force on a woman with intent to outrage her modesty, criminal intimidation, insulting modesty, and assault. The FIR was filed after Ms Maliwal’s statement was recorded by a police team led by Additional Commissioner PS Kushwaha.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has stepped into the controversy, summoning Mr Kumar for a hearing today.

Following the police visit, Ms Maliwal posted on social media about the distressing experience and appealed against politicising the issue.

“What happened to me was very bad. I have given my statement to the police on the incident that happened to me. I hope that appropriate action will be taken. The last few days have been very difficult for me. I thank those who prayed for me. Those who tried to do character assassination said that I was doing it on the instructions of a party. May God keep them happy too. An important election is underway in the country. Swati Maliwal is not important, the issues of the country are important. There is a special request to the BJP to not do politics on this incident,” Ms Maliwal posted last night.

Mamata Banerjee, “PART OF INDIA” “You should not trust,” Adhir Ranjan says.

The incident has triggered a political storm. The BJP has heavily criticized Mr Kejriwal for his silence, with its spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia even going as far as labeling Mr. Kejriwal the “main criminal” due to his apparent inaction during the assault.

Mr Kejriwal deflected questions regarding the incident during a press conference in Lucknow yesterday, where he appeared alongside Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and AAP MP Sanjay Singh. Mr Singh, addressing the press, acknowledged Mr Kumar’s misconduct and deflected criticism towards the BJP, demanding accountability for various women’s issues under their governance.

The Congress, allied with AAP in the opposition INDIA bloc for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, echoed similar calls.
