The assassination of former US President John F. Kennedy in 1963 remains one of the most controversial political murders in history, and the release of new JFK files has once again put the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) under scrutiny. While the files do not directly implicate the CIA, they suggest that the agency may have overlooked significant red flags before Kennedy’s killing.

Was there a second shooter? New evidence challenges official findings

Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas, Texas while his motorcade was passing through Dealey Plaza. The official inquiry, known as the Warren Commission, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating the president. However, newly released files challenge this narrative.

Ballistic reports and eyewitness testimonies suggest that a second shooter may have fired the fatal shot.

The bullet that killed Kennedy may have come from a grassy knoll, not from the Texas School Book Depository, where Oswald was stationed.

This contradicts the findings of the Warren Commission, fueling speculation that the assassination was more than just the act of a lone gunman.

Oswald’s connections with Soviet and Cuban embassies

Among the most explosive details in the declassified files is the revelation that Oswald had visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City weeks before the assassination.

The CIA had wiretapped communications in Mexico City from December 1962 to January 1963, keeping tabs on Soviet and Cuban embassies.

This has raised questions on whether the CIA had prior knowledge of Kennedy’s assassination but failed to act.

Internal rift between the CIA and the Kennedy administration

The files also highlight a deepening conflict between the CIA and President Kennedy. A memo from Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a close aide to Kennedy, warned that:

The CIA was overstepping its authority and interfering with the State Department’s operations.

Some CIA officials were allegedly trying to influence US allies, leading to tensions within the government.

This information supports previous theories that Kennedy’s strained relationship with the CIA may have played a role in his assassination.

Did the CIA silence one of its own? The Gary Underhill case

One of the most intriguing aspects of the JFK files is the mention of CIA agent Gary Underhill.

Underhill allegedly fled Washington after Kennedy’s assassination and took shelter at a friend’s house in New Jersey.

He reportedly told his friend that Kennedy was killed by a rogue faction within the CIA that was unhappy with the President.

Underhill also claimed that Oswald was framed for the assassination.

A few months later, he was found dead from gunshot wounds, with his death officially ruled as suicide.

Alleged Mafia involvement in JFK’s murder

Another shocking detail in the JFK files is the claim that the mafia may have collaborated with rogue CIA operatives to carry out the assassination.

Newly declassified documents link Chicago mob bosses to training Cuban militiamen, suggesting possible involvement in a larger conspiracy.

Wiretaps reportedly captured conversations hinting at a coordinated effort between organized crime and intelligence operatives.

The revelations from the JFK files have reignited debates and conspiracy theories surrounding one of the most shocking assassinations in US history. While the truth remains elusive, the new documents raise serious questions about the CIA’s role, internal conflicts, and the possibility of a larger conspiracy.

The gruesome murder of Merchant Navy officer Saurabh Rajput, allegedly at the hands of his wife Muskaan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla, has taken a shocking turn as Muskaan’s own parents have demanded the harshest punishment for their daughter.

Muskaan, accused of brutally killing her husband and concealing his body in a cement-filled drum, has been arrested along with Sahil. Speaking to the media, her parents, Pramod Kumar Rastogi and Kavita Rastogi, made it clear that they stand with Saurabh’s family and want justice for him.

Parents’ shocking stance: “She must be hanged”

Muskaan’s parents have taken a firm stand against their daughter, emphasizing that she must face the death penalty for her crime. “She should be hanged. She has lost the right to live,” said her parents in a heart-wrenching statement.

Her mother, Kavita Rastogi, recalled how they themselves ensured her arrest. “She confessed that she had killed Saurabh and we immediately took her to the police station. She told us, ‘Mummy, we killed Saurabh’,” she revealed.

Chilling details of the crime

According to police, Saurabh, who worked for a US-based company, had returned home for his six-year-old daughter’s birthday when he was murdered on March 4. Muskaan and Sahil allegedly stabbed him, dismembered his body into 15 pieces, and sealed them in a plastic drum with cement.

To mislead people, the couple used Saurabh’s phone to post pictures while escaping to the hills. However, their plan fell apart when Saurabh’s family, unable to reach him, reported his disappearance, leading to their arrest. After interrogation, they confessed to the crime, and Saurabh’s remains were recovered from the drum.

Drugs as a possible motive

Muskaan’s parents also alleged that drugs played a key role in the murder. “She told us that her friend (Sahil) feared Saurabh would stop their drug sessions,” said her father.

Her mother added that Saurabh always supported Muskaan, even after she moved away from his family. “Saurabh left everything for her, even his family and their property worth crores. And yet she got him killed,” she said.

A marriage that turned deadly

Saurabh and Muskaan had a love marriage in 2016. In an attempt to spend more time with his wife, Saurabh initially left his job in the Merchant Navy. However, this decision caused friction with his family, leading him to move out with Muskaan.

By 2019, the couple had a daughter, but trouble soon followed. Saurabh discovered Muskaan’s affair with Sahil, which led to tension and discussions about divorce. Ultimately, for the sake of his daughter, he decided to stay in the marriage and rejoined the Merchant Navy in 2023.

However, during his absence, Muskaan and Sahil’s relationship deepened, eventually leading them to commit the horrifying murder.

Now, their six-year-old daughter is in the custody of Muskaan’s parents, as legal proceedings move forward in one of the most chilling crimes to come out of Meerut in recent times.

Nagpur police have arrested Faheem Khan, a local politician from the Minority Democratic Party, in connection with the recent communal violence in the city. Khan, accused of inciting riots over demands to relocate Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb from Maharashtra, will remain in custody until Friday.

Authorities are investigating whether the violence was orchestrated by an individual or a larger group. Six cases have been registered, with complaints filed against 1,200 people—less than 200 of whom have been identified so far. The rest are being traced by the police.

Chief Minister calls violence a ‘premeditated conspiracy’

The arrest follows statements by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, who labeled the violence a “premeditated conspiracy.” The unrest began after Hindu groups, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, burned a symbolic grave made of grass bundles. According to Fadnavis, false rumors were then spread that a religious text was desecrated.

After Friday prayers, a crowd of around 250 people reportedly gathered, raising slogans. As tensions escalated and threats of arson surfaced, the police intervened.

Fadnavis also controversially linked the violence to the upcoming Hindi film Chhava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, which depicts the Maratha-Mughal conflict.

Violence spreads across Nagpur, leaving 38 injured

Nagpur, home to the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), saw widespread unrest late Monday. Mobs vandalized shops and homes, set vehicles ablaze, and reportedly hurled petrol bombs and stones at police officers. Law enforcement officials were also allegedly attacked with weapons.

A total of 38 people, including 33 police officers, sustained injuries. One officer was attacked with an axe. There are also allegations of female officers being sexually harassed during the riots.

Despite the severity of the violence, no casualties have been reported. A curfew remains in place in areas under 10 city police stations.

Political fallout and opposition criticism

The opposition, led by Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena faction, has criticized the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti government. Thackeray questioned the relevance of the issue, given that Aurangzeb has been dead for over 300 years and his tomb is a protected historical monument.

His son, Aaditya Thackeray, accused the BJP of orchestrating the controversy to divert attention from governance failures, likening the situation to the ethnic violence in Manipur.

Meanwhile, Fadnavis has acknowledged public demands to remove Aurangzeb’s tomb but stressed that any action must be within legal limits.
