Indians Chiranjeev Kumar, Manoj Sabharwal among 25 newly designated terrorists in Saudi Arabia
Jeddah: Saudi Arabia on Thursday released a fresh list of the Kingdom’s designated terrorists. The list includes 25 names including two Indian nationals among others.
The two Indians on the list have been identified as Chiranjeev Kumar Singh and Manoj Sabharwal.
“Saudi Arabia designates (25) names including entities involved in facilitating financial activities for the sake of the terrorist "Houthi" Group with support of IRGC-QF.” An official statement from The Presidency of State Security in Saudi Arabia stated.
According to the reports, the designated terrorists are involved in supporting and funding the terror group Houthi in Yemen with the support of IRGC-QF (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps–Quds Force).
Manoj Sabharwal, according to a file report of Al Jazeera, was a manager in a company named Maritime Shipping. He was previously named on the American list of smuggling and financers in Iran.
Chiranjeev Kumar Singh was reportedly a Managing Director of Aurum Ship Management Freezone Company. The company was banned by America earlier last month. The company owns a vessel management profile and controls oil supply to Houthi and rebel-controlled ports.

Ajit Pawar wins Baramati battle, defeats nephew Yugendra by more than 1 lakh votes
Baramati, Nov 23: Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar on Saturday won from his traditional Baramati assembly constituency by defeating his nephew and NCP (SP) candidate Yugendra Pawar by more than one lakh votes.
Ajit, who parted ways with his uncle Sharad Pawar last year and was seeking an eighth term from this family bastion in Pune district, polled 1,81,132 votes while Yugendra Pawar polled 80,233 votes.
Ajit, thus, defeated his younger brother's son by 1,00,899 votes.
Five months ago, Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) had triumphed in Baramati in the Lok Sabha elections, with incumbent MP and Sharad Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule defeating Ajit Pawar's wife Sunetra by a margin of 1.5 lakh votes.
Both the NCP factions did not leave a single stone unturned during the assembly campaign, and even Sharad Pawar's wife Pratibha Pawar and Sule's daughter Revati were seen campaigning for Yugendra, while Ajit Pawar brought his mother on stage during his concluding rally in Baramati.
While Sharad Pawar told the people of Baramati that they needed a new leadership, alluding to Yugendra Pawar whom he described as a highly-educated candidate, Ajit Pawar cautioned people not to fall prey to the "emotional pitch" by the senior Pawar.
After Saturday's results, Ajit Pawar, who along with several other NCP legislators sided with the BJP-Shiv Sena government in 2023, could claim to be the real political heir of his estranged uncle who founded the NCP in 1999.
Sunetra Pawar, now a Rajya Sabha member, thanked the people of Baramati for reposing their faith once again in `Dada' (elder brother in Marathi, as Ajit is fondly called).
