Two bodies found inside oil tanker in Kot Addu

 

Two bodies have been discovered inside an oil tanker in the Gujarat locality of Kot Addu, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

According to Rescue officials, the oil tanker had been parked at a local hotel after unloading its cargo two days earlier. The vehicle had remained stationary since completing its delivery, and the bodies were found during a subsequent inspection.

The deceased have been identified, and both were residents of Rahim Yar Khan, a city in southern Punjab. Their identities have been confirmed by rescue authorities, although their names have not yet been released publicly.

Officials stated that the exact cause of death remains unknown. Rescue teams and law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the incident to determine how the two men ended up inside the tanker and what led to their deaths. Authorities have not ruled out any possibility at this stage.

The bodies have been shifted for further examination, and medical experts are expected to conduct post-mortem examinations to help establish the cause of death. Investigators are also gathering evidence from the scene and questioning individuals who may have information about the incident.

Initial reports indicate that the tanker had completed its oil delivery and was parked at a hotel for approximately two days before the bodies were discovered. Authorities are examining whether the victims entered the tanker accidentally, intentionally, or under other circumstances. They are also reviewing the vehicle’s recent movements and speaking with the driver and other relevant individuals.

Rescue officials emphasized that the investigation is still in its early stages and urged the public to avoid speculation until the official findings are released. They noted that determining the cause of death will require a thorough forensic examination and detailed inquiry.

The incident has raised concerns among local residents due to the unusual nature of the discovery. Authorities have assured the public that all necessary steps are being taken to uncover the facts and ensure that, if any criminal activity is involved, those responsible will be brought to justice.

Police and rescue teams continue to coordinate their efforts as they work to establish a clear timeline of events. Investigators are expected to review available evidence, including witness statements and forensic reports, before reaching any conclusions.

For now, officials have confirmed only that two men from Rahim Yar Khan were found dead inside an oil tanker parked in the Gujarat area of Kot Addu after it had unloaded its cargo. The investigation into the cause and circumstances of their deaths is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the inquiry progresses.

    Kaia Gerber, Lewis Pullman’s romance reaches maj…

    Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman are quietly taking their romance to the next level. While the couple has largely stayed out of the spotlight, new reports suggest their relationship has reached a significant milestone, with those closest to them believing it has become more serious than ever.  According to an insider, Gerber and Pullman are “so in love,” and their connection has only deepened since they first sparked dating rumors in early 2025. Although they prefer to keep their relationship private, the source said the romance has been genuine from the very beginning, with both stars choosing to focus on building a strong foundation away from constant public attention.  One of the biggest signs of how serious the relationship has become is the warm welcome Pullman has reportedly received from Gerber’s family. The insider revealed that Kaia’s parents, supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, already see the actor as “part of the family.” Their approval reflects how naturally Pullman has fit into Kaia’s personal life and family circle.  Despite both having demanding careers, the pair are said to make their relationship a priority. Friends describe them as grounded and supportive of one another, adding that they enjoy spending quality time with family rather than chasing the Hollywood spotlight. Their low-key approach has helped the romance flourish without unnecessary pressure.  Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford, has continued balancing a successful modeling career with growing acting opportunities. Pullman, meanwhile, has become one of Hollywood’s rising stars thanks to acclaimed performances and several high-profile projects. Even with busy schedules, sources say the couple has found a healthy balance between work and their personal lives.  The couple has also made a handful of public appearances together over the past year, including outings at the Venice Film Festival and the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. While they rarely discuss their romance in interviews, their public moments have shown a comfortable and affectionate relationship that continues to grow stronger.  According to those close to the pair, there has never been any rush to define the relationship publicly. Instead, Gerber and Pullman have focused on getting to know each other away from the cameras, allowing their bond to develop naturally. That patient approach is said to be one of the reasons their romance has remained so stable.  While neither Kaia Gerber nor Lewis Pullman has commented publicly on the latest reports, insiders believe their relationship is stronger than ever. With family support, shared values and a commitment to keeping their love life private, the couple appears to have found a balance that is rare in Hollywood—proving that sometimes the strongest romances are the ones lived quietly.

    Poland’s main opposition party splits following loyalty pledge ultimatum

    Poland’s main opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party has fractured following a severe internal dispute over its political strategy, with former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and dozens of his allies breaking ranks with longtime leader Jarosław Kaczyński. The split occurred after Kaczyński issued an ultimatum demanding all PiS lawmakers sign a strict loyalty oath committing them not to collaborate with outside political groups. Dozens of parliamentarians, led by Morawiecki, refused to sign the pledge before the deadline, leading Kaczyński to declare that those who abstained had effectively resigned from the party. The former prime minister confirmed that his faction includes 40 members of parliament, three members of the European Parliament, and one senator, though he maintained that his group sought to preserve unity while broadening the right-wing electoral base toward younger, centre-right voters. The division threatens PiS’s status as the largest party in the Polish parliament, a position it held despite losing power to Donald Tusk’s pro-European coalition in 2023. As the conservative vote increasingly fragments across competing factions ahead of the 2027 parliamentary elections, the formal expulsion of the dissident lawmakers is scheduled to be processed at a party leadership meeting.

    Father challenges medical report in Mir Raza case

    The mystery surrounding the death of young businessman Mir Raza Ali Khan remains unresolved as investigators continue to examine evidence, while the victim’s family insists he was murdered and has raised questions about the findings of the preliminary medical report. Mir Raza’s father, Hussain Raza, has rejected the possibility of suicide. He claimed his son was killed and alleged that attempts were being made to present the case as a suicide. He expressed concern over the medical report, saying it mentioned only the gunshot injury and did not describe what he believes were signs of physical violence on his son’s body. According to the father, Mir Raza had injuries on his face, hands and other parts of his body. He also claimed his son was shot from behind and questioned why the report did not include details of the alleged injuries. He further asked investigators to explain what happened during the period between his son’s disappearance on July 28 and the recovery of his body the following day. He said Mir Raza had spoken to his sister before leaving home and appeared to be in good spirits. The taxi driver who transported him also reportedly told investigators that Mir Raza seemed relaxed and was listening to music during the journey. The family has appealed to senior authorities for a transparent and impartial investigation. The investigation has made further progress with the recovery of another CCTV recording showing Mir Raza’s movements before his death. The footage reportedly captures him taking his mobile phone out of his pocket and throwing it away. Investigators are conducting forensic and technical analysis of the video to determine its significance. Police said the preliminary medical examination found that Mir Raza died from a gunshot wound to the chest. However, the firearm used in the incident and the spent bullet casing have not yet been recovered, leaving investigators without key physical evidence. As part of the ongoing investigation, police are also looking into Mir Raza’s financial dealings. Initial inquiries suggest he had borrowed money from several individuals. Authorities are preparing a list of those people and are questioning them to determine whether any financial dispute may have contributed to the incident. Investigators have so far included 12 individuals in the inquiry and recorded statements from 15 people connected to the case. Earlier CCTV footage showed Mir Raza leaving his shop in Bahadurabad during the early hours after taking a security guard’s pistol from a drawer. He later returned home, where he left behind his car, smartwatch, house keys and Rs39,000 before booking an online taxi. Further footage showed him traveling alone to Gulistan-e-Jauhar. Investigators believe he switched off his mobile phone near Johar Mor before reaching Block 2, where he was last traced.

    ICC member states decide Karim Khan’s future

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) member states met on Friday to decide the future of suspended Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who is facing allegations of sexual misconduct made by a former staff member. Khan has firmly denied all accusations and insists he has done nothing wrong. Representatives from the court’s 125 member countries gathered at the United Nations headquarters in New York to vote on whether Khan should continue in office or be removed permanently. The decision is being made through a secret ballot, and an absolute majority is required for a final outcome. Karim Khan stepped aside from his duties in May 2025 after the allegations emerged and an internal investigation was launched. Last month, the ICC’s governing bureau suspended him from office, stressing that the suspension was a temporary administrative measure and did not represent a final judgment on the case. During the meeting, Assembly of States Parties President Päivi Kaukoranta described the issue as a complex and sensitive disciplinary matter. She urged member states to conduct the proceedings fairly while respecting the rights, privacy and dignity of everyone involved and protecting the credibility of the court. The allegations gained wider international attention after the complainant, identified only as Sarah, publicly shared her account in a recent media interview. She alleged that repeated inappropriate behaviour by Khan eventually led to physical assault. She also said the significant difference in authority between them meant there could be no genuine consent. Khan has repeatedly denied the allegations. His legal team recently urged ICC member states not to remove him, arguing that he had not been given a fair opportunity to defend himself during the disciplinary process. His lawyers also warned that dismissing the prosecutor without proper legal safeguards could weaken the independence of future ICC prosecutors. Supporters of Khan argue that the investigation did not conclusively establish misconduct and say the case could create a dangerous precedent for future office holders. Others believe the seriousness of the allegations requires decisive action to maintain public trust in the court. Since becoming the ICC’s chief prosecutor in 2021, Khan has overseen several major international investigations. He gained global attention after seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over the Gaza conflict. The court also issued arrest warrants for several Hamas leaders during his tenure. Those decisions led to strong criticism from Israel and sanctions imposed by the United States on Khan and several ICC judges, increasing political pressure on the court. Legal experts remain divided over the case. Some argue that removing Khan is necessary to protect the ICC’s credibility and public confidence. Others maintain that any decision must be based strictly on due process and the rule of law rather than political considerations.
