Karan Wahi has finally given fans what they have been asking for, a glimpse into his life beyond the screen.

During his interaction with the paparazzi, Karan was jokingly asked why he was at the airport when he could be flying out in a helicopter, a cheeky reference to his recent Khatron Ke Khiladi stint. Karan quipped, Move on Khatron, I have moved on, before getting on with his different kind of adventure. He took his fans through the entire airport experience, showing them what happens post celebrities get papped. From exploring the airports architecture and installations to discovering its food, retail and leisure offerings, Karan found enough reasons to keep him occupied before the flight. Welcomed by the Pranaam team on arrival, Karan explored the airport, including the Experience Centre, where the striking art, scale and design caught his attention. He also checked out the range of restaurants and outlets, and mentioned that some of the options were hard to find elsewhere in the city. But the highlight of the visit was when he headed to the airport lounge and discovered something rather unexpected mini-golf, a first-of-its-kind offering at an Indian airport. After testing out his golfing skills and unwinding at the lounge, Karan made his way to the boarding gate.

'Result of BJP's frustration': Arvind Kejriwal after CBI raids Punjab CM's camp office
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the Punjab Chief Minister's camp office in Chandigarh for evidence in a graft case linked to the CMs Officer on Special Duty (OSD), calling it the esult of BJP's frustration. The CBI took over the investigation into alleged corruption involving Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns OSD Rajbir Singh Ghuman and other associates and conducted searches at eight locations in Chandigarh, Mohali, Jalandhar and other cities. It also registered an FIR against Punjab CM Mann's OSD and five others. In a post on the social media platform X, Kejriwal said: The CBI raid on the Punjab Chief Minister's office two months before the elections is the result of the BJP's frustration. Ever since the BJP government came to power at the Centre, it has always pushed 'Punjabis' aroundbe it the farmers' movement, the issue of Punjab's water, or the Punjab University issue. And now, it's even pushing around their elected Chief Minister, he added. The AAP chief remarked that because the BJP can't win elections by contesting in Punjab, so it wants to fight the elections with the help of ED-CBI. However, he expressed confidence in the AAP's victory in the upcoming Assembly polls in the state, saying: But Punjabis have made up their minds, and they will respond to the BJP's CBI raid in the upcoming elections by electing Bhagwant Mann with 100+ seats and making him Chief Minister again. During the searches, the CBI collected incriminating evidence such as laptops, mobile phones and documents and sent them to a forensic lab for extracting data linked to the alleged bribery and impropriety, a CBI official said in a statement. The probe agency said it registered an FIR in the matter following orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and receipt of a report from the Enforcement Directorate. The CBI has booked six persons, including two public servants, middlemen and associates, namely Rajbir Singh Ghuman, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Chief Minister, Punjab, Nitin Gohal, Jitin Gohal alias Raja, Romi Raja Mahajan, Bir Devinder, R.S. Nagra and unknown public servant(s) and private person(s).
Punjab: CBI books 6, raids 8 locations for evidence in graft case linked to CM Manns OSD
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 6 (IANS) The CBI on Tuesday took over the investigation into alleged corruption involving Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns OSD Rajbir Singh Ghuman and other associates and conducted searches at eight locations in Chandigarh, Mohali, Jalandhar and other cities. During the searches, the CBI collected incriminating evidence, laptops, mobile phones and documents and sent digital devices to forensic lab for extracting data linked to the alleged bribery and impropriety, a CBI official said in a statement. The probe agency said it registered the FIR in the matter following orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and receipt of report from the ED. The CBI has booked six persons, including two public servants, middlemen and associates namely Rajbir Singh Ghuman, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Chief Minister, Punjab, Nitin Gohal, Jitin Gohal alias Raja, Romi Raja Mahajan, Bir Devinder, R.S. Nagra and unknown public servant(s) and private person(s). An official statement said that the CBI has registered the FIR to investigate the allegations of corruption against the OSD to the Punjab Chief Minister (CM) and his associates for influencing and manipulating postings of officers, including that of IAS and IPS officers, departmental proceedings and matters pertaining to policy formulation. The probe will also cover decisions of the accused aimed at manipulating administrative approvals, tender conditions, licensing matters, land use conversion matters, property disputes, revenue and land related issues in lieu of pecuniary benefits, said the statement. It is also alleged that the accused public servants purportedly accessed and provided drafts of orders and policies to private persons prior to their issuance by the government. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that the CBI action was politically motivated. The allegations came a day after the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the CBI to register a case and submit a status report within two months regarding allegations of corruption involving CM Manns OSD Ghuman and others. The ED had earlier written three letters to Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav alleging that Ghuman and his associates, Nitin Gohal and Bir Devinder, were involved in corruption-related activities. The anti-money laundering agency alleged that they were interfering in administrative transfers, postings and government tenders, and had sought registration of an FIR. After the Punjab Police did not register a case on the basis of the ED communications, advocate Nikhil Saraf filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the High Court seeking a CBI investigation. In the petition, Saraf argued that the ED letters contained serious allegations involving persons linked to the Punjab Chief Ministers Office and sought a fair and independent investigation free from the influence of the Punjab Police and Punjab Vigilance Bureau.

Jeevna Kaur Notay on meeting Diljit Dosanjh on stage and the moment she
Highlights Eight-year-old Jeevna Kaur Notay was invited on stage by Diljit Dosanjh after he spotted her dancing in the crowd at his Manchester concert. The Leeds girl, who was born with a congenital limb difference, told Eastern Eye about the emotional moment and why wearing her pagh on stage made her proud. Her father Surjeet Singh Notay explains how amputee football helped Jeevna find a community and why he hopes her story will encourage other families. Eight-year-old Jeevna Kaur Notay arrived at Manchesters Co-op Live on September 20 expecting to spend the evening watching her favourite singer, Diljit Dosanjh. Instead, the Leeds girl found herself on stage with the Punjabi superstar, microphone in hand, as thousands of people cheered her on. Jeevna had been dancing in the crowd when Diljit noticed her, waved at her and eventually invited her up. She proudly shouted his famous Panjabi aa gaye oye! before telling him she was from Leeds. The moment became one of the most memorable parts of the show when Diljit sat beside her and sang Ik Kudi . For Jeevna, the experience was almost impossible to take in. I felt really happy and excited, she told Eastern Eye. I couldnt believe everyone was cheering for me! When Diljit began singing Ik Kudi , she found herself wondering whether it was really happening. I was just thinking, Is this actually happening?! she said. I was really happy and couldnt stop smiling. Jeevna was born with a congenital limb difference and lost her left foot when she was two Surjeet Singh Notay What made the moment particularly special was that Jeevna was wearing her pagh, something she says is closely tied to her identity. Standing on stage in it made her feel proud to be Punjabi and Sikh, while for her father, Surjeet Singh Notay, the significance went beyond meeting a singer his daughter admires. Watching Diljit notice Jeevna in the crowd gave him the feeling that his daughter was finally being seen for who she is. Not only did Diljit see her, but the whole world has seen her, Surjeet said. Thats what made me think, wow, she has been seen. Shes not going to be defined by her disability Jeevna was born with a congenital limb difference and lost her left foot when she was two. At four, she underwent major reconstruction on her right leg and had to learn to walk again. She is now going through another period of treatment, using a frame on her leg and a wheelchair while she recovers, but Surjeet says the family has spent years making sure those challenges do not become the way she sees herself. For everything weve been working on for the last eight years, bringing her forward, making her confident, he said, when she steps out into the world on her own, me and my wife know weve done a really good job. For him, the goal has always been to make sure Jeevna is recognised for the person she is rather than defined by her disability. Shes not going to be defined by her disability. Shes going to be defined by who she is. Jeevna has developed her own way of expressing that attitude Surjeet Singh Notay Jeevna has developed her own way of expressing that attitude. I just keep going and dont give up, she said. Like I always say, Im not disabled, Im differently abled. The phrase has been part of her familys vocabulary since before she was born. Surjeet recalled travelling with his wife in India, from Delhi towards Punjab, when he noticed the term differently abled being used in relation to access. He never expected it to become something so personal to his family, but the expression stayed with him and eventually became the language Jeevna chose for herself. How football gave Jeevna a team of her own Football has also become an important part of Jeevnas life. She has loved the sport since she was four, and after her first frame came off, the hospital introduced the family to the England Amputee Football Association. Surjeet said the organisations junior programme gave Jeevna an opportunity to meet other children and families who understood experiences similar to hers, turning what could have been an isolating part of her childhood into a community. Joining them really helped us, because we were with like-minded people in the same situation as us, he said. Weve really become like a family now, no matter what background youre from. Jeevna continues to play amputee football, and for Surjeet, being part of that team has been about much more than sport. It has given his daughter another space where she can simply be a child, meet people and take part without being defined by the medical challenges she has faced. See on Instagram That same determination is what Surjeet saw on the Manchester stage. He often describes Jeevna as someone who gets knocked down and gets back up again, and she has a simple answer when asked how she keeps going: she does not give up. Her advice to another child who might be frightened to come forward and follow what they love is just as direct. Youve got this. Just be brave and believe in yourself, no matter what you do. There is light at the end of the tunnel The reaction to Jeevnas appearance has made the experience bigger than one concert. After Diljits video spread online, Surjeet began hearing from parents of children with disabilities, including parents of autistic children, who wanted to connect with the family. For him, that response has been one of the most meaningful parts of what happened because he remembers what it felt like when his own family did not know where to turn. It gave a platform for other parents in my situation who may not be confident to come forward, he said. Jeevna will achieve, behind closed doors or in the open. That doesnt matter to me. What matters is that I help somebody else in my position, because when I was there, I didnt have anybody to help me. Surjeet hopes their experience can reassure parents who may be frightened about giving their children more independence. We want to be the beacon for somebody. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Its not the end of the world, he said, urging parents to have faith and allow their children to experience life rather than letting fear dictate what they can do. For Jeevna, though, the night in Manchester is also something much simpler: a childhood memory she will hopefully carry with her for years. Surjeet remembers being nine when his own father took him to see Michael Jackson at Wembley, an experience that has stayed with him decades later. Now he feels he has given his daughter a memory of her own. When I was nine years old, my father took me to see Michael Jackson at Wembley. That has stayed with me, and Im 45 now, he said. This is something Im giving her. Ive given her this memory, and thats like a medal for me. Memories are worth more than material things, he added. I just want her to know that whatever shes going through, shes loved and blessed and cared for. And perhaps the best way to understand Jeevna is through the words she would offer another child facing their own challenges: Youve got this.

Maha CM launches 'Participate Mumbai' platform to boost CSR-led development partnerships
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 6 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday inaugurated Participate Mumbai, a digital platform to enhance collaboration between the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), corporates, NGOs, experts and citizens for the citys development through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. He said that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the 'Samagra' organisation will help improve the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporations (BMC) service delivery system, simplify administrative processes, and boost efficiency. Both these initiatives will combine public participation with swift administration to speed up Mumbai's development. CM Fadnavis remarked that 'Participate Mumbai' is not just a platform to secure CSR funds, but a collaborative platform centered on the idea of What can you and I together do for the last person in society? Information about various projects on BMC's requirements for partnership will be made available on this portal. Companies, NGOs, or citizens willing to work in sectors such as education, healthcare, water, employment, environment, parks, beautification, and poverty alleviation can select projects aligned with their interests, he said. If an organisation wishes to work in a specific field, it can also present its own proposal on the platform. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that this would bridge the gap between the BMC and the social and corporate sectors, thereby accelerating development work. CM Fadnavis emphasised that rather than focusing solely on the amount of funds spent through CSR, what matters more is how much public welfare was achieved and what real impact was created. Through CSR partnerships, the government gains access to new technologies, modern management practices, robust monitoring mechanisms, and flexible working methods. Traditional government administrative processes have certain limitations; therefore, combining government machinery with CSR partners yields far more effective results. While the BMC has executed major work in infrastructure, there is an urgent need for more effective interventions in education, health, and nutrition. Issues like malnutrition, stunting, and wasting among children persist in certain parts of the city. CSR partnerships must be effectively leveraged to reach children in slums and underprivileged areas with proper nutrition. He said nutrition directly impacts brain development, academic performance, and immunity in children; thus, targeted interventions will yield long-term benefits for the next generation. An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based system has been implemented in the BMCs building proposal department for scrutinising construction plans. CM Fadnavis stated that the goal moving forward should be to minimise or eliminate human intervention in this process, which will significantly boost ease of doing business in Mumbai. The administration must adapt with time, and the mindset of We have done it this way for years; who is going to teach us? needs to change, Fadnavis said.

Civilian cargo ship sinks and crew is missing after Black Sea drone attack
Two injured crew members from one of the ships have been sent for treatment [Petko Momchilov / Reuters] A civilian cargo ship has sunk and its crew is missing after being attacked by drones in the Black Sea, Bulgarian officials say. A second vessel - carrying grain - was also hit within Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone, Prime Minister Rumen Radev said. Its 18 crew were rescued. Radev did not say who was behind the attacks, which come as Russia intensifies strikes in the Black Sea, particularly the eastern side, as part of its war against Ukraine. Moscow has not commented on the latest incident, a day after it was accused by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of striking a civilian vessel carrying corn. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the attacks were unacceptable. Air and sea drones were involved in the attacks at about 03:00 (23:00 GMT), some 70 miles (112 km) off the coastal town of Byala in eastern Bulgaria, Radev said. The sunken ship was flying under the flag of Togo, he said. Named the Alfa Watan, it was a Turkish-owned general cargo ship and was reportedly heading for Sulina, Romania. It is not clear what the Alfa Watan was carrying or how many people were on board. A Bulgarian vessel was close by, but when they arrived all they saw was an overturned boat and rafts as well as life jackets. A search operation has been launched. Radev said Bulgarian sailors had rescued the crew members from the second ship - including two who were injured in a fire on board. Eleven were Turkish and seven Indian nationals. That ship, the Able, was flying the flag of Palau and transporting grain. Its last reported position was five nautical miles (9km) from the Alfa Watan. Radev condemned the strikes as a flagrant violation of maritime law. He told reporters: Such an attack within the Bulgarian exclusive economic zone is absolutely unacceptable. He did not accuse Russia of carrying out the strikes, but referred to the war in Ukraine, saying: As I have long maintained, if this war is not halted in time, it will continue to expand its geographical reach and increase risks, including the risk of a global conflict. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X: The situation in the Black Sea is increasingly concerning. Commercial ships and innocent crews are being targeted, with lives already lost at sea, she said. While exact circumstances of these incidents are still being established, the developments are very concerning. Attacks on civilian shipping are unacceptable. Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea is just over 29,000 sq km (11,197 sq miles), about 6% of the total size of the Black Sea. A separate attack on Tuesday, near Odesa, saw a crew member killed and seven more injured. The ship was flying the flag of the Marshall Islands, according to Ukrainian media. On Sunday, Russia's defence ministry said it would intensify its strikes across Ukraine in response to comments made by Zelensky earlier last week, in which he said Kyiv would ramp up its attacks on Russian oil refineries. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

'She Inspired Countless Young Girls': Shukla Congratulates Harmanpreet On Captaincy Stint
BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla: BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla hailed Harmanpreet Kaur as a 'true inspiration' for Indian womens cricket after she stepped down as captain across all formats on Tuesday. Shukla said Harmanpreets leadership, particularly Indias historic 2025 Womens World Cup triumph, had inspired a generation of young girls to take up cricket and pursue their dreams. Harmanpreet Kaur has been a true inspiration for Indian womens cricket. As captain, she led India to the historic 2025 Womens World Cup title and inspired countless young girls across the country to take up cricket and pursue their dreams, Shukla wrote on X. As she steps down as captain, wishing Harmanpreet Kaur the very best for the journey ahead, he added. Harmanpreet announced her decision to relinquish captaincy across all formats on Tuesday, bringing an end to a leadership tenure in which she guided India to several landmark achievements. The 37-year-old took over as Indias full-time T20I captain in 2018 and became the ODI captain in 2022 after succeeding legendary batter Mithali Raj. Her biggest achievement as captain came in 2025 when she became the first woman to lead India to a senior ICC Womens Cricket World Cup title, with the team defeating South Africa in the final on home soil. Harmanpreet also guided India to four Asia Cup titles as captain in 2012, 2016, 2022 and 2026. Under her leadership, India won consecutive Asian Games gold medals in Hangzhou in 2022 and Aichi-Nagoya in 2026. During her captaincy, India also recorded their first bilateral Womens ODI series win in England since 1999 in 2022, secured a historic Test victory against Australia in 2023 and registered a breakthrough T20I series win against England in 2025. Harmanpreet also became the first cricketer to captain a side in more than 150 T20 matches, surpassing leading mens captains, including MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Earlier this year, she led India to a historic 270-run victory over England in the first-ever womens Test played at Lords Cricket Ground. Announcing her decision, Harmanpreet said stepping down was an emotional call after years of memories, sacrifices and responsibility. Today, I step down as captain of the Indian Womens Cricket Team across all formats. This is not an easy decision. It carries years of memories, emotions, sacrifices, and moments that will stay with me for the rest of my life, she wrote on Instagram. I leave the captaincy today with a heart full of emotions but also with PEACE. Because I genuinely believe my team is in a good place. A team with talent, character, belief and a future that I am incredibly excited to watch and be a part of, she added. Harmanpreet, however, made it clear that her international career will continue and she remains committed to Indian cricket. Captaincy may end today, but my love for Indian cricket never will. Thank you to every teammate, coach, support staff, management, BCCI, family members, and every single fan who stood by me through the highs and lows, she wrote. Harmanpreet, however, made it clear that her international career will continue and she remains committed to Indian cricket. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

'I Have Done My Duty': Harmanpreet Steps Down As India Captain
ODI World Cup: Indian womens ODI World Cup winning skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has stepped down from captaincy across all formats after serving as the full-time T20I captain since 2018 and as the ODI captain since 2022, having taken over the reins from the legendary Mithali Raj. Today, I step down as captain of the Indian Womens Cricket Team across all formats. This is not an easy decision. It carries years of memories, emotions, sacrifices, and moments that will stay with me for the rest of my life, Kaur wrote on Instagram. I have given everything I had to this team and to Indian womens cricket my blood, my sweat, my time, and many times, a part of my own game and personal ambitions. There were moments when I had to put my individual performance, my own growth, and what I wanted for myself aside, because I believed the team had to come first. As a captain, I have had to make difficult decisions. Decisions that were not always understood, not always easy, and sometimes came at a personal cost. But every decision I made was with one intention - to make this TEAM better and to give other players the opportunity to grow, believe in themselves and become the best versions of themselves, she added. She etched her name in history books by becoming the first female skipper to lead the Indian team to a maiden senior ICC World Cup title by defeating South Africa on home soil. I have seen it all. I have seen the lowest moments, the heartbreak, the criticism, the doubts and the days when nothing seemed to go our way. And I have also experienced the highest highs - the victories, the celebrations, the pride of representing our country, and the moments that made every sacrifice worth it, Kaur wrote. Harman also led the side to a record four Asia Cup titles as captain in 2012, 2016, 2022, 2026 and also guided the team to consecutive gold medals at the Asian Games, finishing on top of the podium in Hangzhou 2022 and Aichi-Nagoya 2026. I leave the captaincy today with a heart full of emotions , but also with PEACE. Because I genuinely believe my team is in a good place. A team with talent, character, belief and a future that I am incredibly excited to watch and be a part of. I feel I have done my duty. I gave this team everything I had. I carried the responsibility with pride, and I will always be grateful for the privilege of leading Indian womens cricket. Now, it is time for me to turn the page. Captaincy may end today, but my love for Indian cricket never will. Thank you to every teammate, coach, support staff, management , BCCI , family members every single fan who stood by me through the highs and lows. Blood. Sweat. Sarifice. Pride. I gave it all. Now, Im ready to play for the love of the game again. Captaincy ends. The journey continues, she concluded. Harmans other major notable achievements as captain include leading India to their first bilateral Women's ODI series win on English soil since 1999, when the team clinched a historic win in 2022. She also commanded the team to a historic Test match win against Australia in 2023 and a breakthrough T20I series victory against England in 2025.

The Day Imran Khan Played Cricket in Allahabad: A Forgotten 1984 Classic
There are cricket grounds that became famous because of Test matches, international tournaments or great performances. And then there are grounds whose place in cricket history is secured by a single extraordinary afternoon. For Allahabad, now Prayagraj, that afternoon came on 26 February 1984, when Pakistan captain Imran Khan walked into the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium to play a benefit match for an Indian cricketer. It was not an India-Pakistan international. There were no championship points at stake and no official record to be created. Yet, for Allahabad's cricket lovers, it became one of the most memorable sporting occasions the city had witnessed. The match was organised as a benefit for William Ghosh, a veteran Indian Railways cricketer facing financial and health difficulties. Ghosh had played 71 first-class matches, taking 239 wickets. Imran's presence transformed what might otherwise have been a local fundraising game into an extraordinary meeting of domestic cricket and international stardom. But what brought one of the world's biggest cricket stars from Pakistan to Allahabad for just a few hours? The answer lay in an old family friendship. Ghosh was a close friend of Imran's father, Ikramullah Khan Niazi, dating back to the pre-Partition period. When Ghosh fell on difficult times, that friendship became the bridge that brought Imran to Allahabad. Imran was then at the height of his cricketing fame. Yet he agreed to make the journey for a benefit match in Allahabad. He flew from Pakistan to New Delhi and then travelled to Allahabad by train. According to local recollections, he maintained his strict fitness regime during the journey, eating nothing but oranges. Imran captained the Geep XI, walking out before a huge crowd at the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium. The ground was packed to capacity, while people also gathered outside simply to be part of the occasion. For a city accustomed to watching its own Ranji heroes, this was a rare opportunity to see a Pakistani superstar at close quarters. Imran did not disappoint. He played an aggressive innings that became the enduring cricketing memory of the day. Syed Hyder Ali, one of the leading local players in the Geep XI, recalled years later that Imran's sixes seemed to dwarf the dimensions of the stadium, with the ball sailing beyond the ground. The precise score of the exhibition innings mattered less than the memory it created. For those watching in Allahabad that afternoon, Imran was not merely a visiting Pakistani cricketer; he was a world-class sportsman suddenly playing on their own ground. The match had another remarkable feature. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi , India's former captain and the Nawab of Pataudi, was among the umpires, alongside Swarup Kishan. Pataudi reportedly officiated for the first hour before being replaced by TD Mukherji. What did it mean to Allahabad? This is where the story goes beyond Imran Khan. Local players did not merely watch Imran from the stands; they shared the dressing room and field with him. Hyder Ali, who played first-class cricket for 25 years and represented Uttar Pradesh, Railways and Bengal, regarded the 1984 match as one of the memorable moments of his career. The benefit match helped raise money for a respected cricketer at a difficult stage of his life. At the same time, it gave thousands of ordinary cricket followers an experience normally associated with international stadiumswatching one of the world's most famous cricketers in their own city. It also created a powerful image of cricket cutting across the India-Pakistan divide. The match did not become part of the history of the India-Pakistan series. But it became part of Allahabad's cricket memory. A city better known for its literary, cultural and political heritage also had its cricketing moments. Few can match the afternoon when Imran Khan arrived, captained Geep XI, shared the ground with India's cricketing royalty and sent the ball soaring into the Allahabad sky. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories For Allahabad's cricket lovers, Imran Khan's visit lasted much longer than those few hours.

Delhi Capitals Parts Ways With IPL Coaching Staff; Official Word On New Coaches To Come Soon
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals have officially parted ways with their existing coaching group ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, by making an announcement through their social media accounts. Under GMR, who were at the helm for the 2025 and 2026 seasons as per an operational agreement signed with co-owners JSW in 2024, DC had former India player Hemang Badani as their head coach, alongside director of cricket Venugopal Rao, bowling coach Munaf Patel, assistant coach Ian Bell and fielding coach John Mooney. A special coaching group, and some very special memories. Thanks for everything, Tigers, Delhi Capitals posted on 'X' and Instagram accounts on Monday. The announcement comes on the back of operational control now transitioning to JSW Sports for the 2027 and 2028 IPL cycles. Yes, the term of the Badani-led coaching group is over. In a day or two, the new Delhi Capitals coaches for the IPL 2027 season will be officially announced, said a source to IANS on Monday. As previously reported on September 14, Yuvraj Singh, Amit Mishra and Chaminda Vaas are expected to join the new-look DC coaching staff. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, currently serving as JSW's Director of Cricket, is expected to take over as head coach, though it remains to be seen if he will be hit by the Conflict-of-Interest clause as he also serves as President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). In 2019, when he was CAB President before crossing over to become BCCI President, Ganguly was the team advisor for DC in the IPL. At that time, Ganguly had stated that his position as CAB President was purely honorary and he couldnt influence anything in the IPL.

Janhvi Kapoor breaks silence after AI-morphed video sparks outrage:
Highlights Janhvi Kapoor has spoken out after an AI-morphed video featuring her went viral online The actress called the misuse of technology to objectify women deeply violating Janhvi said such manipulation is bordering on sexual assault She stressed that consent, choice and respect for a womans body should never be open to interpretation Janhvi Kapoor has broken her silence after an AI-morphed video featuring her likeness sparked outrage online, describing the misuse of technology to objectify women without their consent as deeply violating. The video digitally manipulated Janhvis appearance from the Chuttamalle music video from Devara: Part 1 , altering her likeness to depict her in sexually explicit circumstances. It was circulated widely on social media before being removed. Addressing the controversy on Instagram Stories, Janhvi said the incident was part of a wider problem facing women both online and in the real world. Janhvi Kapoor calls AI misuse deeply violating The criminal misuse of technology to objectify women and circulate fictionalised content without consent is deeply violating, bordering on sexual assault, Janhvi wrote. She said women in the entertainment industry have faced similar experiences and warned that the problem is increasingly affecting women more broadly. Janhvi stressed that consent should not be complicated or open to interpretation. She compared the situation with physical violations, pointing out that a womans clothing, previous choices or past consent never give anyone permission to violate her boundaries. What a woman is comfortable with, where she draws the line and what she chooses to do with her body are decisions that belong exclusively to her, she said. Janhvi says the threat has moved into the digital space The actress also connected the incident to the wider reality of being a woman navigating safety, judgement and unwanted attention. She said women are constantly negotiating where they feel safe and where their boundaries lie, adding that this threat has now expanded into the digital world. Janhvi argued that society has yet to adequately address the physical fears women experience every day, while technology has created another space in which their images and identities can be exploited. She ended her statement by asking whether it is really too much for women to expect to be treated as human beings, stressing the importance of protecting their bodies, images, boundaries and choices. Janhvi thanks Jr NTR and others for speaking out Janhvi also thanked Jr NTR, Chiranjeevi, Vijay Deverakonda and Khushbu Sundar for publicly supporting her after the AI-generated video surfaced. She expressed particular gratitude to Jr NTR for condemning what she described as a violation, saying that when influential figures speak up about issues affecting women, it can make a difference to others who have experienced similar behaviour. She also thanked Chiranjeevi, Vijay and Khushbu for amplifying calls for action against the practice. The AI-morphed clip used footage of Janhvi from Chuttamalle , the popular song from Devara: Part 1 , which was released in 2024. The film stars Jr NTR and Janhvi in the lead roles, with music by Anirudh Ravichander and vocals by Shilpa Rao.
UK social media hacking losses soar more than 400 per cent to
Reported losses from account hacking rose from 1.2m to 6.3m. Account takeovers made up 69 per cent of reported cybercrime cases. Report Fraud is urging people to use passkeys to secure their accounts. Criminals stole 6.3 million from people after hacking their email and social media accounts in the 2025-26 financial year, more than five times the amount reported a year earlier, according to new figures from Report Fraud. The losses rose from 1.2m in 2024-25, representing an increase of more than 400 per cent. Report Fraud, the national service run by the City of London Police, said account hacking was also behind 44,355 cybercrime reports during the year, accounting for 69 per cent of all such reports. The figures are based on crimes reported to authorities, meaning the true scale is likely to be considerably higher. Some victims do not report scams because they are embarrassed, while others may not consider it worthwhile when relatively small amounts of money have been lost. The growing problem is not simply about criminals stealing access to an account. Increasingly, they are stealing the trust attached to it. When your own account becomes the scam One common tactic is to take control of someone's social media account and then use their identity to approach friends and relatives. Fraudsters can advertise fake tickets for sold-out concerts or other events, making the offer appear to come from someone the victim knows. In one case highlighted by the Guardian, hackers took over an Instagram account and used it to sell fake Oasis tickets, resulting in 1,400 being stolen from the victim's friends. The impersonation can be convincing because the criminal is operating from a genuine account and may already have access to the victim's photographs, contacts and conversations. A similar tactic is behind the so-called Hi mum scam, in which criminals send WhatsApp or text messages pretending to be someone's child or another relative who urgently needs money. The scam relies on emotion rather than sophisticated technology. A message appearing to come from a son or daughter can be enough to make someone act quickly without checking who is really on the other end. Ch Supt Amanda Wolf, head of Report Fraud operations, said: For most people, being hacked isnt just a cyber issue its personal. She warned that victims can be locked out of important accounts and left concerned about what information has been accessed and whether criminals will use their identity to target others. What starts with one compromised account can quickly impact family, friends and colleagues as fraudsters exploit trusted relationships to commit further fraud, she said. The risk is part of a broader cybercrime problem facing the UK. The governments Cyber Security Breaches Survey for 2025-26 found that 43 per cent of businesses had experienced a cyber breach or attack during the previous 12 months. Among businesses that had experienced breaches, takeovers or attempted takeovers of websites, social media accounts or email accounts were reported by 5 per cent. Why passkeys are being pushed Report Fraud is now urging people to strengthen their accounts by switching to passkeys where they are available. Unlike a traditional password, a passkey uses a device and biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition, to verify the user. The credentials are designed to resist common attacks such as phishing because there is no password for criminals to steal or trick people into revealing. The advice comes as criminals continue to look for ways to exploit the growing amount of personal information held online. Andrew Bud, founder and chief executive of iProov, said social media had become one of the most potent channels for impersonation fraud. He said criminals could either create an account pretending to be someone trusted or attempt to take over a genuine account by exploiting password-reset processes. Strong identity and biometric verification could help prevent both types of impersonation, Bud said. For users, the immediate lesson is less complicated: securing an account is no longer just about protecting your own money or personal information. If criminals get inside, they can use your identity and your relationships to target the people who trust you most. And with reported losses from these account takeovers rising from 1.2m to 6.3m in just one year, that trust is becoming increasingly valuable to criminals.

Ktaka: Prison DIG held over fake SC order used to free convict
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Parappana Agrahara police in Bengaluru have arrested Prison Department North Zone DIG Somashekar on charges of allegedly releasing a life-term prisoner from jail on the basis of a fake Supreme Court order, police said on Monday. Police are questioning Somashekar as part of the investigation into the alleged forgery and illegal release of the prisoner. The prisoner, identified as Shankar, was serving a life sentence in a murder case. According to the police, a fake document resembling a Supreme Court order was allegedly prepared in 2018 to facilitate his release from prison. Police have alleged that Srikanth, a Second Division Assistant (SDA), prepared the fake order. Shankar and Srikanth have also been arrested in connection with the case. At the time of the incident, Somashekar was serving as the Jail Superintendent of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. Shankar, who had been convicted in the murder case, was released from the prison on November 13, 2018, allegedly based on the forged Supreme Court document. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the preparation and use of the fake order and the role of the accused in facilitating the prisoners release. Investigators are also looking into the possible involvement of the accused in other similar incidents and are examining whether any other prisoners may have been released using forged documents. Further questioning of Somashekar and the other accused is under way as police continue their investigation. It may be recalled that, according to data shared by then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former Home Minister G. Parameshwara, criminal cases were registered against 88 police personnel and officers in Karnataka for their alleged involvement in various criminal activities. Siddaramaiah had termed the involvement of police personnel in criminal cases as shameful and unpardonable. Parameshwara presented the official figures during a session of the state legislature, highlighting accountability within the force. Speaking at an annual conference of police officers, Siddaramaiah also expressed strong displeasure over criminal cases registered against members of the state police force. He referred to high-profile incidents, including an ATM cash van robbery in Bengaluru in which a head constable was allegedly identified as the kingpin. He also cited drug cases in Karnataka being cracked by police forces from other states instead of local law enforcement, which he had described as embarrassing. The state government had stated that it was examining stricter legal measures and seeking greater vigilance within the department to prevent such incidents.
