15-year-old Gujarat boy shot dead in US

October 18, 2016

Vadodara, Oct 18: A 15-year-old boy having his family roots in Anand district's Demol village was shot dead by an armed robber in Cleveland Heights in Ohio, US.

Victim Sunny Patel's relatives said that the robber barged into Mr Hero restaurant owned by his uncle on South Taylor Road and shot him in the head on Friday night. The robber then stole cash from the register and fled.

Sunny's father Ravi Kantibhai Patel had moved to the US from Demol over a decade ago. "Sunny was Ravi's only child and the family is a deep shock," said Suresh Patel, a distant relative of the family.

"The boy was born in the United States. In fact, Ravi's father was a philanthropist who had donated a good amount to erect an entrance gate at Demol village," said another relative Hasmukh Patel.

On Sunday night, the Cleveland Heights police arrested a suspect who was caught in CCTV footage. He was seen wearing grey sweatpants, a black sweatshirt and a white bandana on his face. The police has, however, not identified the person nor have they filed any charges against him.

Sunny's death has added to the spate of fatal at tacks on the diaspora in the last one year.

Last year, there were at least 12 incidents where NRGs fell prey to either fatal shootings or police brutality on foreign shores mainly in the US, South Africa, Germany and the UK.

Earlier this year, Mitesh Patel, a 23-year-old NRI having roots in Umreth town was shot dead in Los Angeles when he was about to step out of his liquor store. Before Mitesh, 55-year-old Harshad Patel from Bochasan village near Borsad had died of a gunshot fired byChesterfield County police at a convenience store at The Marketplace on Walmsley Boulevard.

Explosive new Epstein files reveal Donald Trump raped 13-year-old girl, murdered newborn

News Network

January 31,2026

The US Department of Justice has released millions of new documents linked to the case of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, before removing some pages that contained complaints mentioning President Donald Trump.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Friday that approximately 3.5 million files were published to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act, following criticism that the administration had missed a December 19 deadline set by Congress.

The documents include FBI communications and complaints submitted as tips, some of which list comments mentioning Trump and others who had social or professional ties to Epstein.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to his past association with Epstein.

Pages removed from DOJ website

After their publication, pages containing complaints that mentioned Trump were removed from the DOJ website and now return a “page not found” message. Copies of the documents, however, have circulated widely on social media. CNN anchor Jake Tapper was among those who publicly noted that the pages had been taken down.

One complaint, filed by a friend of a victim, says Trump forced a girl aged 13–14 to perform “oral sex” approximately 35 years ago in New Jersey. The document states that an investigator was sent to Washington to conduct an interview.

Another complaint says Trump regularly paid an individual to perform sexual acts and adds that he was present when her newborn child was murdered by a relative. The paperwork notes that there was “no contact made” with the complainant.

A separate complaint, which provided no contact information, said “calendar girls” parties at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago involved children and sexual abuse. The document also names several public figures as present at such events.

In another account, a complainant said they witnessed a “sex trafficking ring” at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in the mid-1990s. The person noted “threats” from Trump’s head of security if she spoke publicly about what she had seen.

Other figures mentioned in the files

The latest release also includes a draft email Epstein wrote to himself in 2013, referring to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. In the message, Epstein said Gates asked him to delete emails and referenced “personal matters.”

The DOJ has not provided a detailed explanation for why certain pages were removed after publication. The department said the document release was ongoing.
