Agra deportation countdown: 38 Bangladeshi nationals, 8 children set for Jan 13 handover

Agra deportation countdown: 38 Bangladeshi nationals, 8 children set for Jan 13 handover

Police in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, announced that 38 Bangladeshi nationals, including eight children, will be deported on Jan. 13 following an Agra court’s order after serving three-year prison sentences. The group was arrested in February 2023 in Sector 14 of Awas Vikas Colony, Sikandra area, when officers found 35 forged Aadhaar identity cards and a fake PAN tax card, police said. They are being escorted to Kolkata for handover, coordinated by the Intelligence Bureau, India’s domestic intelligence agency, and the Border Security Force, responsible for border security. “They were arrested for residing here illegally,” said deputy commissioner of police Syed Ali Abbas. The case is significant because it merges illegal residence with suspected identity fraud—a combo that usually jumps quickly from police records to the courts. When fake documents come to light, local authorities are forced to answer tough questions about how long the person lived under the radar and which services they used with those papers.

Tennessee crackdown hits Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com sports contracts — Kalshi says it’s suing

The companies received cease-and-desist letters demanding they stop operations immediately. This shift is significant as sports-linked prediction markets have grown rapidly, muddying the waters between trading and gambling. States that regulate sportsbooks are now pushing to regulate these contracts similarly, aiming to curb their rise as a go-to method for “betting” on games.

  • Tesla up 8% as delivery outlook, FSD hopes lift stock; $420 target in sight by 2026
    June 30, 2026, 2:19 AM EDT. Tesla shares jumped 8% to near $412 after Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and Goldman Sachs raised forecasts for second-quarter deliveries, outpacing Tesla's own guidance. Investors responded to steadier demand in China and Europe and new focus on Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, seen as a potential driver for recurring revenue. The company cited record order backlog, higher output at Giga Berlin, and better auto margins. A model with 14% revenue growth and 9% operating margin pegs the 2026 target at $420, making the stock look fully valued after the move. Tesla's sales, FSD take-up, and energy storage progress remain key for next steps.
