US Teen Accused of Plotting Hindu Temple Mass Shooting
A 19-year-old man, Alexandros Paporakis, has been arrested in Illinois for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at a Hindu temple. He is accused of researching the target and writing an eight-page manifesto. The alleged plot was reportedly foiled after a tip-off from a Taco Bell employee. The incident has prompted reactions from India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which stated there is a "growing anti-India hate" and suggested a rise in anti-Indian racism.
