Nehal Modi Arrested: Nehal Modi, brother of fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, has been arrested in the United States in connection with the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam. This marks a significant diplomatic victory for India. According to the US Department of Justice, Nehal Modi, a Belgian citizen, was taken into custody on 4 July. The US prosecution complaint alleges two charges against him: money laundering under Section 3 of the PMLA, and criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">₹13,500 Crore Scam</h2>



Nirav Modi, his uncle Mehul Choksi, Nehal, and others are wanted by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly defrauding PNB of approximately ₹13,500 crore using fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LOUs). While Nirav Modi&#8217;s extradition has already been approved by the UK High Court, the process of bringing him to India is delayed due to several appeals filed by him.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preparations Continue to Bring Nirav Modi to India</h2>



Nirav, currently imprisoned in London, was declared a fugitive economic offender in 2019. Earlier this year, the Belgian government stated that 65-year-old Choksi was arrested in Antwerp following India&#8217;s extradition request. Choksi fled India in 2018 and has since been residing as a citizen of Antigua and Barbuda.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Next Hearing in Extradition Proceedings Scheduled for 17 July</h2>



The charges against Nehal Modi stem from ED and CBI investigations which revealed his crucial role in laundering the proceeds of crime on behalf of Nirav Modi. He now faces extradition from the UK. He is accused of assisting in concealing and transferring large sums of illicit money through a network of shell companies and complex foreign transactions to hide the proceeds of crime. The next hearing in the extradition proceedings is scheduled for 17 July. During this hearing, Nehal is likely to apply for bail. The US prosecution has stated that it will oppose his application.

New COVID Strain: A surge in COVID-19 cases is being observed globally, including in India. Covid-19 is once again in the spotlight. Meanwhile, a new variant, &#8216;Stratus&#8216;, has emerged in the UK. Scientifically, this variant is referred to as XFG and XFG.3. This new strain is spreading rapidly and, according to experts, may be more contagious than previous variants. Let&#8217;s understand what &#8216;Stratus&#8217; is and what its symptoms might be. This article provides complete information to help you protect yourself.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stratus Spreading Rapidly in the UK</h2>



According to data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Stratus accounted for approximately 10% of total COVID cases in May, but this increased to 40% by mid-June. Because of this, Stratus has now become the dominant variant in England.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the Stratus (XFG) Variant?</h2>



Stratus is a new variant of Omicron, which scientists are also calling a Frankenstein or Recombinant Variant. This means the variant was created when an individual was simultaneously infected with two different COVID variants, and their combination produced a new strain.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stratus Has Two Types</h2>



XFG and XFG.3 (spin-off variant). Both are spreading rapidly, and experts believe they could trigger a new wave of infections in the coming time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Vaccines Offer Protection?</h2>



According to Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, Stratus is not currently causing more severe illness. However, he also stated that COVID vaccines are still effective in preventing serious illness and hospitalisation. The WHO (World Health Organization) has declared Stratus a ‘Variant Under Monitoring’ and considers its growth rate to be quite rapid. Currently, it is found in approximately 22% of COVID cases worldwide.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are the Symptoms of the Stratus Variant?</h2>



According to the NHS, the symptoms of Stratus are mostly the same as those of older COVID variants, such as:



<ul>
<li>Shortness of breath</li>



<li>Changes in smell or taste</li>



<li>Fatigue</li>



<li>Fever or chills</li>



<li>Runny or blocked nose</li>



<li>Body aches</li>



<li>Persistent cough</li>



<li>Sore throat</li>



<li>Headache</li>



<li>Diarrhoea</li>



<li>Loss of appetite</li>



<li>Nausea</li>
</ul>



However, according to Dr. Kevan Khan, a distinctive symptom of Stratus is hoarseness. He explained that these symptoms can range from mild to moderate, but since this variant is highly contagious, isolation at home is crucial upon testing positive.



Prevention is the Best Cure



<ul>
<li>Wash your hands regularly</li>



<li>Wear a mask in crowded places</li>



<li>Get tested immediately if you experience symptoms</li>



<li>Maintain distance from others if you test positive</li>



<li>Don&#8217;t forget to get your booster vaccine</li>
</ul>

Police and health department rescue teams arrived at the scene immediately after receiving information about the incident. The injured were taken to Ramban District Hospital for first aid (Treatment).



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">36 Pilgrims Injured</h2>



Ramban&#8217;s Deputy Commissioner, Mohammad Alyas Khan, stated that the last vehicle of the Pahalgam convoy lost control and collided with stranded vehicles at the Chandrakot Langer site. Four vehicles were damaged in this accident, and 36 pilgrims sustained injuries.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 1: The film Metro In Dino hit the box office this Friday, 4 July. Its promotion had been extensive, and now the impact on its opening day is evident. The film received mixed reviews on its first day. This film is seen as competing with Kajol&#8217;s Maa and Akshay Kumar&#8217;s Kannappa. Despite this, the film surpassed Maa on its opening day.



Let&#8217;s find out how much Metro In Dino collected on its opening day and how much Maa earned…



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maa Collects This Much on its 8th Day </h2>



Kajol&#8217;s film Maa was released on 27 June. The film had a fantastic opening weekend, but its earnings have since dropped significantly. Meanwhile, Metro In Dino has overtaken it. On its 8th day of release, Friday, 4 July, Maa collected a mere ₹1 crore. The film&#8217;s total earnings now stand at ₹27.50 crore. Even after a week, the film hasn&#8217;t entered the ₹50 crore club. The film appears to be heading towards the flop category.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 1</h2>



Meanwhile, Metro In Dino saw a significant clash with Maa on its opening day, but on 4 July, Metro In Dino surpassed Maa, collecting ₹3.35 crore. The audience reaction to the film has been excellent, with people giving it overwhelmingly positive reviews. The film earned more than Maa on its opening day, outperforming Kajol&#8217;s film. It remains to be seen how the film performs over the weekend.
