Lionel Messi, the world-renowned football player, has become the subject of viral internet attention, but this time it's not just about his skills on the field. His bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, has gained significant online recognition for his swift and professional protection of Messi.

A video of Chueko, a former US Navy SEAL, showcased his quick responses to protect Messi from overly enthusiastic fans. The clip went viral on Reddit, receiving over 175,000 upvotes, with many social media users praising Chueko's calm yet effective demeanor.

One user commented, "Messi is one of the most famous people on the planet, so that number of psychos is as big as it could possibly be for a human being. People way less famous than Messi have been hurt or killed by random people."

Another user noted, "This dude sprints at full speed, and then he just calmly hugs the people running towards him and walks them away from him. I bet this person is expensive as hell, but worth every penny."

Chueko's background as a Navy SEAL, with service in Iraq and Afghanistan, equips him with the skills necessary to protect someone as high-profile as Messi. His role includes not just guarding Messi during games but also accompanying him on public outings and family events.

Inter Miami club president David Beckham personally recommended Chueko for the position. On the pitch, Chueko runs around the field to intercept any potential threats to Messi, ensuring his safety at all times.

In addition to his professional duties, Chueko maintains a significant presence on social media, with 768,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares videos of his boxing and martial arts training.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to list an application seeking extension of time for mandatory registration of all waqf properties, including waqf-by-users under the UMEED portal.

In an interim order, the top court had on September 15 put on hold a few key provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, including a clause that only those practising Islam for the last five years could create Waqf, but refused to stay the entire law outlining the presumption of constitutionality in its favour.

It also held the Centre’s order to delete the "waqf by user" provision in the newly-amended waqf law was prima facie not arbitrary and the argument that waqf lands would be grabbed by governments held “no water”.

Waqf by user refers to a practice where a property is recognised as a religious or charitable endowment (waqf) based on its long-term, uninterrupted use for such purposes, even if there isn't a formal, written declaration of waqf by the owner.

On Thursday, a bench headed by Chief Justice B R Gavai was urged by lawyer Nizam Pasha, appearing for AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, that a miscellaneous application seeking extension of time for registration of waqf properties be extended.

He said that six months time was given in the amended law for registration of the waqf properties and “Five months went during the judgement, we now only have one month left.”

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was in the courtroom in connection with another case, objected to the mentioning of the plea and said it should be intimated to the Centre.

“Let it be listed, listing does not mean granting (the relief),” the CJI said.

The Centre had on June 6 launched the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995 (UMEED) central portal to create a digital inventory after geo-tagging all waqf properties.

According to the mandate of the UMEED portal, details of all registered Waqf properties across India are to be mandatorily uploaded within six months.
