The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs began with opening statements on Monday, following a week-long jury selection. Diddy’s legal team, led by attorney Teny Geragos, adopted a bold strategy, suggesting that the case revolves around "jealousy" rather than criminal behavior. According to Inner City Press, Geragos explained, “This case is about love, jealousy, and money,” emphasizing that the charges were being misrepresented as racketeering. She assured the jury that they would hear from witnesses who would help clarify the true nature of the case, which she claimed was sensationalized by the media. Geragos acknowledged that Diddy had made mistakes in his personal life, admitting that he could be "jealous or angry" or even “mean,” but she firmly stated that these traits were not the charges he faced in court. The defense lawyer also referenced past incidents, including Diddy's relationships with Kim Porter and Cassie, highlighting jealousy as a driving force behind con...

Lt Gen Chaudhry reiterated that the Pakistan Armed Forces had made three clear commitments at the outset of the conflict: “We will give a befitting response to Indian aggression. That response will come at a time, place, and through methods of our own choosing. And when we hit back, the entire world will know—it won’t be something you’ll need the Indian media to tell y...

Authorities in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Abbottabad district have imposed a two-month ban on the use of all types of drones, citing heightened national security risks and public safety concerns, officials said on Friday. The restriction, enforced under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, aims to prevent potential misuse of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that could pose threats to public life, property, or national security, the Deputy Commissioner’s Office said in a statement. Officials said the measure was taken in response to a 'sensitive' security environment, aiming to prevent aerial surveillance or unauthorized recordings that could be exploited by anti-state elements or miscreants. “Maintaining law and order is our utmost priority,” the statement said, urging residents to report any suspicious drone activity to local police. Violators of the ban may face legal action, including fines and imprisonment, authorities warned. The statement comes as the Pakistan Army interc...
