New study reveals Indians primarily from three ancestral groups: South Asian hunter-gatherers (Ancient Ancestral S. Indians), Eurasian Steppe pastoralists, Neolithic farmers related to Iranian and Central Asian cultures. 1-2% Neanderthal, Denisovan lineage https://t.co/W3y7HNuQCG
❤️🇮🇳 He wasn't a firefighter.
He wasn't a trained rescuer.
He wasn't wearing a uniform.
He was simply a man who saw a child in danger and decided that walking away was not an option.
When Vipin Kumar, an Indian construction worker living in Romania, witnessed a young girl fall into the icy waters of a frozen lake, he didn't stop to think about the risks.
He jumped in.
The water was freezing.
The temperatures were brutal.
And every passing second increased the danger to both the child and the man trying to save her.
But Vipin refused to let go.
For nearly 30 minutes, he reportedly held the little girl above the freezing water, battling exhaustion and extreme cold while waiting for rescue teams to arrive.
He had no guarantee that help would reach them in time.
No certainty that he would make it out safely himself.
Only one goal:
Keep the child alive.
His courage saved a life.
And his actions touched an entire country.
Months later, the Romanian city of Craiova honored Vipin Kumar with honorary citizenship, one of its highest civilian recognitions, acknowledging the extraordinary bravery of a man who put a stranger's life ahead of his own safety.
Stories like this remind us that heroes don't always wear uniforms.
Sometimes they wear construction helmets.
Sometimes they speak a different language.
Sometimes they're ordinary people who make an extraordinary choice when it matters most.
A stranger's child became his responsibility.
And because of that choice, a family got to take their daughter home.
Salute to Vipin Kumar. 🇮🇳❤️

ACB Arrested Sunkari Narhari Rao, Deputy Director, Multi Zone-II, Survey & Land Records, #Telangana , for #DisproportionateAssets
Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (#ACB) seized Assets: 1.24 acres land, 4 flats, 2 Buildings... worth ₹13.05 crore (Market value over ₹100 crore)
On June 16, ACB officials conducted simultaneous searches at the officer’s residence and 9 other places belonging to his relatives, benamis and associates.
During ACB raids, officials found assets worth over ₹13.05 crore:
🔹1.24 acre Agriculture land at Maheshwaram
🔹1 residential flat admeasuring 2,500 sq. ft. in a high-rise building at Puppalaguda.
🔹2 residential flats each admeasuring 1,860 sq. ft. in a high-rise building at Narsingi.
🔹1 residential flat admeasuring 1,377 sq. ft. in a high-rise building at. Rajendra Nagar.
🔹G+3 building located at TNGOs Colony, Gachibowli.
🔹G+2 residential building at Chatrinaka were also detected.
🔹Cash ₹1.54 Cr
🔹Bank balances amounting to ₹2.29 Cr
🔹Fixed Deposits worth ₹5.04 Cr
🔹Gold weighing about 1.3 kgs
🔹Silver - 8 kgs
Two lockers standing in the name of the wife of the AO.
Total value of the assets detected during the searches is ₹13,05,67,100/- (Market value of the Immovable properties is expected to be many times higher than the document value).
The Officer is being produced before the Nampally court, for Judicial remand.
I personally do not agree with the stand taken by the Income Tax Department. If cash deposits amounting to ₹70 lakh were made, while nearly ₹200 crore was received through banking channels by way of cheques, the addition ought to have been confined, at the highest, to the cash component. Instead, the Department appears to have made an addition of the entire amount, which is wholly disproportionate.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov on Tuesday criticised the government's temporary ban on the messaging app ahead of the NEET-UG re-examination, saying it punishes ordinary users of the app.

This girl had taken a ₹65,000 policy from the market for her brother, Aditya Birla Health Insurance.
Now her brother has been hospitalized for 5 days, and the insurance company is rejecting their claim.
They are saying it’s just a normal fever and that he will get better at home, even though they had made big promises while selling the policy.
A holiday trip to Uttarakhand that began days after a young couple set out from Delhi has ended in a baffling death, with a 27-year-old software engineer from Gurugram found dead inside a homestay room and investigators now waiting for forensic and post-mortem findings to explain what happened.
P Radha Gayatri, a software engineer employed with an information technology firm in Gurugram, was discovered unconscious inside a room at a homestay on the Mussoorie-Dhanolti road on Monday morning. By the time emergency responders reached the property, she had died.
The circumstances surrounding her death have triggered a police investigation, with officers recovering bloodstains from the room and ordering a videographed post-mortem by a panel of doctors.
According to police, Gayatri and her husband, Soumya Sricharan, had travelled from Delhi to Uttarakhand on June 13.
The newlywed couple first spent time in Rishikesh before arriving at a homestay in the Tipridhar area on the night of June 14. They checked into a room named "Bliss" at around 11.30 pm.
Police said the couple had married on November 8, 2025. Both are originally from Visakhapatnam.
During initial questioning, Sricharan told investigators that he and his wife consumed alcohol during the night and went to sleep at around 3.30 am.
Hours later, he woke up to a disturbing scene.
According to his account, Gayatri was lying on the floor of the room, unconscious. He also found blood coming from her mouth and nose.
He immediately alerted the homestay management, following which police and a 108 ambulance service team were informed.
When medical personnel arrived, Gayatri was declared dead.
As investigators examined the room, they found several pieces of evidence that are now being scrutinised.
Police said bloodstains were found inside the room, including on a bedsheet. The woman's body was recovered from the floor. Two empty liquor bottles and food items were also found at the scene.
A forensic team visited the homestay and collected evidence for examination.
Investigators have not revealed whether any signs of violence or struggle were found, and have not indicated any suspected cause of death.
Officials say it is too early to draw conclusions.
Police have sent the body to Coronation Hospital in Dehradun, where a detailed post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
Given the sensitive nature of the case, authorities have requested that the autopsy be conducted by a panel of doctors and recorded on video.
Police have also begun questioning the husband and members of the homestay staff as part of the investigation.
Gayatri's family has been informed about the incident and was expected to reach Uttarakhand from Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.
So far, no complaint has been filed by the family, police said.
Officials maintain that the cause of death remains unknown and that the post-mortem and forensic reports will be crucial in determining what happened during the final hours of the young software engineer's life.
Until then, the death of the 27-year-old newlywed remains a mystery that has stunned both families and raised troubling questions about what unfolded inside Room "Bliss" on the night of June 14.
TELEGRAM BLOCKED IN INDIA - CEO RESPONDS
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has hit back at India's temporary ban on the app ahead of NEET re-exams
"India's IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions. This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India, not the insiders who leaked the exam materials"
Durov also said the ban hasn't stopped anything, the leaks have simply moved to other apps
India blocked Telegram until June 22, one day after NEET-UG re-exam on June 21, over its alleged role in circulating fake paper leak offers and fabricated proof to students
హైదరాబాద్ బంజారాహిల్స్ ఆనంద్నగర్కాలనీలో సంపు/ఓవర్హెడ్ ట్యాంక్ పొంగి తాగునీరు వృథా చేసినందుకు హెచ్ఎండబ్ల్యూఎస్ఎస్బీ ఎండీ అశోక్ రెడ్డి ఇంటి యజమానికి ₹10,000 జరిమానా విధించి, నీటిని వృథా చేస్తే కఠిన చర్యలు తప్పవని హెచ్చరించారు.
A 64-year-old grandmother had a tumor on her spine.
Sitting hurt.
Lying down hurt.
Sleeping required painkillers.
Open surgery meant screws in her back and weeks of recovery.
She refused.
Then doctors at Sydney's Liverpool Hospital offered something different. They slid a thin probe into the tumor under real-time MRI and froze it at -180°C.
The next day, the pain was gone.
"I'm back to normal," Josephine Cordina said. "It was a big relief."
This is MRI-guided cryoablation.
Australia's first dedicated system, just installed at Liverpool Hospital as part of a $1 billion redevelopment.
Here's the basic idea:
Interventional radiologists insert cryoprobes directly into the tumor. Supercooled argon gas forms a controlled ice ball that ruptures cancer cells while MRI shows the exact position in real time.
No ionizing radiation.
No large incisions.
Often just local anesthesia.
The precision is what changes everything.
Doctors can see exactly where the ice ball ends and healthy tissue begins.
Results from Liverpool's earlier cryoablation program (before MRI guidance):
→ Small kidney tumors under 3 cm: 90-98% success rates
→ Liver tumor studies: 89-98% efficacy for smaller lesions
→ Broader research: 94% five-year progression-free survival in select cases
And now MRI adds superior visibility for tumors that CT and ultrasound struggle to see clearly.
Patients often go home the same day.
Recovery that used to take weeks now takes hours.
Pain that defined someone's daily life disappears overnight.
This matters for people who aren't candidates for traditional surgery.
Tumors near major blood vessels.
Painful bone metastases in the spine.
Lesions in the liver, kidneys, soft tissues.
Dr. Glen Schlaphoff and his team at Spectrum Interventional Radiology pioneered this in Australia. It's part of a new cancer centre expected by 2027.
Medicine does not always need a louder miracle.
Sometimes it needs a better way to reach the same target, with less damage on the way in.
What should impress us more: how complex the machine is, or how lightly it touches the patient?
