101-page lawsuit alleges rape was mentioned in Cornell fraternity group chat
The Chi Phi fraternity house at Cornell University in Ithaca on Monday. - Heather Ainsworth/AP A former Cornell University student filed a lawsuit this month alleging she was drugged and gang raped inside a fraternity house in 2024, and the fresh scrutiny has prompted prosecutors to reopen the investigation . The 101-page lawsuit details disturbing allegations about what the woman, identified as Jane Doe, says unfolded inside Chi Phis frat house the night of October 19, 2024, and how the university and local prosecutors in Ithaca, New York, handled the case. Doe is accusing seven members of the frat of participating in the assault while she was unable to consent. The Tompkins County District Attorneys Office said Monday it reopened the case to seek a grand jury review after being asked by the community to revisit the decision whether to pursue criminal charges against the seven fraternity members. County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said no criminal charges were initially filed because Doe had not provided police in 2024 with the same key allegations outlined in the new lawsuit. Does attorney says the information was promptly given to Cornell authorities, and the report was not materially different from what is contained in the (2026) complaint. The legal dispute, lack of criminal charges and universitys response has prompted fierce backlash and revived concerns about how schools respond to allegations of campus sexual assault. Heres what we know: Lawsuit alleges hours-long gang rape advertised in frat group text The complaint names more than a dozen defendants, including the seven fraternity members from 2024, Cornell University, and the Chi Phi fraternity. Allegations include negligence, breach of contract, sexual assault and battery, and violations of New Yorks Human Rights Law. CNN has sought comment from the Cornell University Police Department, the Chi Phi fraternity and others named in the lawsuit. The complaint says Doe was 20 years old and had been drinking at her sorority house and a bar before she arrived at the Chi Phi house to visit a friend, who was one of the fraternity members, on the night of October 19, 2024. According to the suit, Doe had already consumed about 10 standard drinks within the past three hours when she arrived at the fraternity house. The complaint alleges the friend and another fraternity member gave her more alcohol and pressured her into snorting a substance they described as ketamine, and that she was then sexually assaulted while incapable of consent. A third fraternity member eventually entered the room and also sexually assaulted her, the complaint alleges. At roughly 1:42 a.m., one of the men allegedly sent a message to the fraternitys Snapchat group chat a message titled Chi Phi Actives stating there was free p*ssy upstairs. By doing this, the suit alleges, one of the accused encouraged other chapter members to join in on the gang rape of plaintiff. A photo of a portion of the chat is included in the filing. Multiple fraternity members then entered the room, where one of the newcomers kissed her without her consent, and one of the first three men commanded her to take more ketamine and groped her, according to the complaint. The seven defendants in the complaint poured ketamine onto her body and snorted it, the complaint says. Eventually, five defendants left the room, and the remaining two men led her to a different room, where those two instructed her to take more ketamine and sexually assaulted her until about 5:45 a.m., the complaint says. An attorney for one of the accused fraternity brothers denied any wrongdoing by his client. Even the district attorneys office, led by a chief prosecutor with the duty to pursue justice and uphold the rule of law without bias or favor, filed no charges against (him) because what she alleged did not happen, attorney Jeremy Saland said in a statement to CNN. He said his client never sexually assaulted or even touched the plaintiff in any way. An attorney for a different student gave ABC News a statement acknowledging that student participated in the Snapchat conversation mentioned in the complaint but denying that he engaged in sexual activity. I did not participate in any sexual activity or drug use. I was not found responsible by Cornell for any of the accusations involving sexual activity and drug use for which others received serious consequences, the student said through his attorney. I thoughtlessly engaged in Snapchat and briefly stopped in the room where misconduct happened but not when it happened. CNN is working to determine if the other fraternity brothers have representation. District attorney says Does 2024 statement varies from new lawsuit unknown content item - The district attorney said the initial report Jane Doe made to university police differs significantly from the allegations in the lawsuit. Nothing in Does original statement indicated she was drugged without consent or had sex against her will, Van Houten said. According to the accusers statement, each time Jane Doe asked to stop the sexual conduct, the sexual conduct stopped. Van Houtens office has not released the full police report. CNN has asked Does attorney for a response to Van Houtens statement and for a copy of her complete 2024 police statement. During a contentious interview Monday, CNNs Jake Tapper pressed Van Houten on why there wasnt a more expansive investigation from law enforcement or the DAs office after the initial report was made in 2024. We cant change what happened in the past as much as the community is outraged, Van Houten said. My job under the New York State Constitution is to apply the penal law of New York state. We are constrained by that law. Whether you agree with it, whether you think someones conduct is morally repugnant or vulgar or disgusting. Im still constrained by the law. Van Houten acknowledged that the text message screen shots between the men were completely vulgar and disgusting, but they had nothing to do with her consent. Tapper asked when Van Houten got copies of the text messages, included in the complaint, that the fraternity brothers sent each other. Van Houten said that his team did not see the text messages evidence initially. They were not part of our initial analysis, but I understand that Cornell had them, and they sent them to our team, he said. Earlier, Does attorney, Thomas P. Giuffra said in a statement he believes the initial investigation was inadequate. It is challenging for me to understand how a thorough criminal investigation could have been conducted when she never spoke with anyone other than the officer who took her original complaint, Giuffra said. Other than her initial contact with Cornell police, she was not contacted by investigators from the Tompkins County District Attorneys Office or any investigators trained in interviewing rape survivors, Giuffra said. If the district attorneys office is now considering prosecution, I believe that it is a step in the right direction, albeit a late one. The Ithaca Police Department said Monday that it was disturbed to hear about the 2024 allegations. The department noted it learned about the alleged incident only recently through the media and said the incident was not reported to the agency. Students at the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, on April 11, 2023. - Bing Guan/Bloomberg/Getty Images Complaint faults Cornell for failing to discipline the accused Doe reported the incident to Cornell University police on November 8, 2024, the complaint says. Does attorney said Cornell expelled two of the seven accused students while the others received lesser punishment, including suspensions, workshops or written assignments. Cornell countered that claim Monday, saying there was a range of sanctions for the accused students, including suspensions and expulsions. But none of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a sole consequence of their involvement, the university said. In a September 21 statement, Cornell declined to confirm the individual disciplinary outcomes, citing federal student privacy law. The school said violations of university policy could lead to sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion, adding, We will respond in detail through the legal process. The sanctions came after it conducted a formal Title IX investigation, separate from the criminal proceeding, and a panel of trained faculty and staff heard evidence over multiple days, the school said. The school also said it had closed the chapter of the Chi Phi fraternity, and that the chapter remains barred from campus. The lawsuit faults Cornell for failing to properly discipline after the assault, all the while sheltering them from speaking to law enforcement, and silencing victims. Cornells conduct was so outrageous, shocking, despicable, and contemptible that it exceeds the reasonable bounds of decency as measured by what the average member of the community would tolerate and demonstrates an utter disregard for the consequences that would follow, the lawsuit says. The complaint is seeking a jury trial to determine monetary damages. Cornell said Monday it supports the decision of the Tompkins County District Attorney (DA) to provide an opportunity for the victims story to be heard by a criminal grand jury. Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false, Cornell said in a release. A continuation of the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe and supported, and will perpetuate the underreporting of sexual assault. A growing backlash and calls for accountability The lawsuit along with a lack of criminal charges and accusations of inadequate discipline has drawn a wave of outrage. Cornell student Hayden Watkins, executive vice president of the Student Assembly, said many students are talking about the allegations and the feeling on campus is pretty grim. I think a lot of people are upset about it knowing that it happened on campus, and truthfully I think a lot of people feel not enough was done, Watkins said. Ithaca Mayor Robert G. Cantelmo on Monday called for a pause on Cornell Universitys Greek life and student group gatherings. The mayor said on Instagram that the moratorium would be in place until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe. A Cornell spokesperson said the university shares the mayors interest in student well-being and safety, and that the university will work with him to address his concerns. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called the allegations horrifying, and said she supported the district attorneys decision to reopen the criminal investigation. No student should ever be left wondering whether the institutions meant to protect them will listen and act, she said in a release. She also called for outside counsel to conduct an independent review of the universitys response, saying there are serious questions about Cornells campus culture and its systems for prevention, reporting, and response. US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York City, condemned what she described as a culture of rape at elite universities and institutions during a Sunday town hall in Ithaca. Those men posted in a group chat, Ocasio-Cortez said , referencing allegations in the lawsuit. That means it was normal to them, that means it was acceptable to them. This is a culture, this is norms, these are practices, and what we must do is understand that we cannot protect those spaces anymore. Actor Florence Pugh also posted an impassioned statement on Instagram Sunday, writing, Im no longer tired Im enraged by schools protecting boys, in fear of their futures being wrecked. What about the life that those girls then have to endure, with the knowledge that his reputation is more precious than her truth? she added. Pugh also addressed Doe directly, calling her so unbelievably powerful and so strong willed. Know that women everywhere are here to hold you and help you on your healing journey, she wrote.

Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2 confirmed by makers
After a successful season one, Netflix has announced season 2 of the reality show, Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. Making the announcement, Netflix confirmed the news on their official Instagram handle
Sanjay Leela Bhansalis upcoming film Love & War has found an unexpected connection with a road safety campaign. Mumbai Police has used Ranbir Kapoors first-look poster from the much-awaited film to spread awareness about the importance of wearing a seat belt while driving, giving the promotional material a creative twist. The first-look posters of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal were recently unveiled by the makers of Love & War, giving audiences their first look at the three central characters. While the posters have been generating attention online, Mumbai Police has now joined the conversation by using Ranbirs poster for a road safety message. The department shared the creatively adapted poster on its social media platforms and used the visual to underline the importance of buckling up before driving. The caption accompanying the post read, Seatbelt over wheels is the only deal. #LoveAndWar neither excuses an unbuckled ride. #LoveAndSafetyOnRoad. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mumbai Police (@mumbaipolice) By incorporating the visual associated with Love & War into its road safety messaging, Mumbai Police has brought the film into a public-awareness campaign while also tapping into a piece of current pop culture. The post connects the films title with a simple reminder for motorists to prioritise seat belts while travelling. The films first-look campaign has already introduced audiences to the three leads in their respective looks. The three actors are coming together for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, which has been among the closely followed upcoming Hindi film projects since its announcement. Love & War also marks a collaboration between Bhansali and Ranbir Kapoor after Saawariya and Bajirao Mastani, while Alia Bhatt previously worked with the filmmaker on Gangubai Kathiawadi. Vicky Kaushal is also collaborating with Bhansali for the first time with the project. As the makers continue to build anticipation around the film through its promotional material, the Mumbai Police post has given one of its first-look assets a different context. The road safety campaign has also brought the Love & War imagery into a conversation beyond the film itself. A Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, Love & War stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. The film is scheduled to release worldwide on January 21, 2027, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

DA defends decision not to prosecute Cornell rape case in 2024
A New York state prosecutor has reopened a criminal investigation into an alleged gang rape at a Cornell University fraternity in 2024 after a civil lawsuit filed last week by the alleged victim drew national attention. In a lengthy statement released on Monday, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten announced that he had started pursuing criminal charges against seven fraternity members and would present the case to a grand jury. He also sought to explain why he initially decided not to prosecute them. According to Van Houten, the woman identified in the civil lawsuit as Jane Doe did not say that she was drugged against her will or gang raped in her 2024 sworn statement to police. On the contrary, Jane Doe's statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual, Van Houten said. My office obviously did not and could not have based our November 2024 decision on the allegations in a civil lawsuit that would not be filed until nearly two years later. Cornell University issued a statement saying it supports the district attorney's decision to reopen the case while pushing back against claims that the school did not thoroughly punish those involved in the alleged assault following its own Title IX investigation. Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false, the university said. A continuation of the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe and supported, and will perpetuate the underreporting of sexual assault. What does the lawsuit allege? The Chi Phi fraternity house at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., is seen on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth On Sept. 14, Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against Cornell University and seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, alleging that she was the victim of a gang rape at the fraternity house when she was incapable of consent and that the school failed to protect her from sexual predators on its campus. The defendants named in the lawsuit include Cornell, the seven fraternity members, the Chi Pi fraternity, the woman's own sorority, Delta Delta Delta, and an off-campus bar that allegedly served her alcohol. She is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages resulting from sustained psychological injuries, severe emotional distress, along with pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. According to her lawsuit, Jane Doe was a 20-year-old student at the school in October 2024 when she went to visit a friend at the fraternity house on Cornell's Ithaca, N.Y., campus while intoxicated. Shortly after arriving, Jane Doe alleged that she was pressured by two fraternity brothers into snorting what they said was ketamine before sexually assaulting her. One of the men then allegedly sent a message to the fraternity's Snapchat group chat suggesting that she was available for sex. According to the complaint, multiple other members of the fraternity showed up, and she was raped for hours. Van Houten told ABC News the Snapchat messages were disgusting and vulgar and immoral, but said they did not have any relevance to the issue of whether Jane Doe consented to what was happening. During the alleged assault, the fraternity members began pouring lines of Ketamine all over her body and snorting them, according to the complaint. At around 5:45 AM, this assault concluded and Plaintiff lost consciousness, the lawsuit stated. About three weeks later, on Nov. 8, 2024, Jane Doe reported the incident to the university's police department. What was Cornell's response? A student walks past a Cornell University sign in Ithaca, N.Y., on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth According to the lawsuit, the accused fraternity members were temporarily suspended while Cornell conducted a months-long Title IX investigation that included at least 12 hearings. According to the suit, the accused fraternity members were afforded the opportunity to mitigate their conduct by submitting essays to Cornell. Two of the seven accused fraternity members were ultimately expelled, while the others received lesser sanctions, according to the complaint. Jane Doe dropped out of school. Last week, Cornell issued a statement saying it is aware of a lawsuit concerning the deeply disturbing allegations of sexual assault involving members of the student community that occurred in 2024. The school said it concluded its Title IX investigation but would not disclose individual sanctions, citing federal privacy laws. The Cornell Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies. The Xi chapter ofChi Phifraternity remains barred from our campus, the statement said: Federal privacy law prohibits Cornell from disclosing specific information regarding individualstudents and we therefore are unable tomakea public statement on any other disciplinary response.Violations of university policies could lead to sanctions up to and including suspensionor expulsion.We will respondin detailthrough the legal process. The university also pointed out that it launched a task force on campus sexual assault in the wake of the incident and issued a report in March with recommendations for an environment that fosters sexual health and safety. Several of the recommendations have already beenimplemented, while others are in development with oversight by a university implementation committee, Cornell said. Reactions to the allegations Florence Pugh attends an event for Netflix's East of Eden in New York City on Sept. 27. Jason Mendez via Getty Images The lawsuit and its harrowing allegations prompted reactions from several celebrities, including Florence Pugh, who posted a lengthy response on Instagram calling for men to speak out against sexual violence. This is really the moment where we need our men to be as horrified and as sickened as us, Pugh wrote. You need to be leading conversations about how we change the allowance and complicity of this behaviour as much as we are. How can you expect us to trust that it's 'not all men' when in moments like this, many of you stay quiet? In an expletive-laden Instagram post , actor Josh Gad tore into Cornell, seizing on allegations in the civil lawsuit that the fraternity members were required to write essays as part of the adjudication process. When we start setting a precedent that our girls and women can be brutally raped, and the resulting disciplinary action is to hand out (checks notes) ESSAYS (like it's Bart Simpson being a lil' rascal), about why it was wrong to brutally violate an innocent girl, we have lost our f***ing minds, Gad wrote. Toby Morton, a former South Park writer, launched a website, TheCornell7.org , dedicated to holding the school and the accused fraternity members accountable. Accountability is coming, Morton wrote on Instagram . At a town hall in Ithaca, N.Y., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said that the culture of rape, sexual assault and pedophilia is protected in elite institutions across the United States, including Cornell. Jane Doe, that survivor, lost her education because you cant stay in school when something like that happens to you, Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd . She had to lose her education, and those men were protected by an institution and granted an Ivy League degree as a reward. Never again. She also had a message to Jane Doe and other survivors of sexual assault. I want you to know that you are not defined by the things that have happened to you, Ocasio-Cortez said. You are bigger than that. You are stronger than them. And they will never define you for your entire life. And that you can achieve anything that you want to achieve, from one survivor to another.

Taking to his Instagram page to pen a note of gratitude to the makers of the film on the occasion of the film completing eight years, Kathir wrote, #Pariyerumperumal Some journeys never really leave you.

He went on to say, Every year, I look back and feel grateful for how far that journey took us and how much it still means to me today..

He wrote, Overwhelmed to celebrate 8 years of my first!! #PariyerumPerumalBaBl. For the unaware, director Mari Selvaraj's 'Pariyaerum Perumal' was a hard hitting film that showcased the inconsiderate and inhuman manner in which people of some communities treat people of other communities which they presume to be lower than theirs. The film, which featured Kathir and Kayal Anandhi in the lead, had music by Santhosh Narayanan. It had cinematography by Sridhar and editing by R K Selva. Apart from Kathir and Kayal Anandhi, the film also featured Yogi Babu, Karate Venkatesh and Marimuthu among others. The film was produced by director Pa Ranjith's Neelam Productions. The film came in for praise for the honest and accurate manner in which it showed how caste played a role in society. The film highlighted everything -- from honour killings to the deplorable and inhuman levels some people could stoop to to establish their so called superiority. The film not only came in for critical acclaim but emerged a huge winner at the box office.
India, US set to advance bilateral trade pact during Piyush Goyal visit
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS) As India and the US aim to advance negotiations on a balanced and mutually beneficial Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal's engagement with the US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer is being seen as key to achieve the trade deal faster. India wants domestic exporters to receive a tariff advantage over competing economies rather than simply a lower headline tariff. Goyal will attend the G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on September 30 and October 1 at the invitation of the USTR. According to an official statement, the two sides will work toward finalising an interim trade deal in line with the joint statement issued by India and the United States on February 7, 2026. During the discussions, India is expected to advocate for a rules-based, open, inclusive, transparent, equitable and non-discriminatory global trading framework, with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core. Earlier this month, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said that the proposed India-US trade deal has been more or less finalised, with the two countries now working on a framework to provide preferential market access before formally signing the agreement at an appropriate time. Agrawal said the two countries need to establish a mechanism that ensures preferential access to each others markets under the proposed agreement. He explained that India largely operates under most-favoured-nation (MFN) tariffs, while the US is currently using executive tariffs, making it necessary to develop an architecture that creates tariff differentials and provides preferential access for Indian businesses. Meanwhile, Goyal would also hold a series of bilateral engagements in the US, aimed at strengthening trade and investment ties. The discussions are expected to focus on creating greater opportunities for farmers, fishermen, women entrepreneurs, startups, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and other businesses. Apart from official meetings, Goyal is scheduled to interact with senior executives of leading American companies in sectors such as manufacturing, consumer goods, agribusiness, retail and technology in Milwaukee and Chicago.

'It Feels Like We Are Playing At Home,' Says Deepti On Special UP Warriorz Bond
UP Warriorz: UP Warriorz all-rounder Deepti Sharma has underlined the unique bond she shares with the franchise, saying her roots in Uttar Pradesh and the support from the local crowd give her added motivation to perform in the Womens Premier League (WPL). With the five franchises having finalised their retention lists ahead of the 2027 player auction in Kochi on October 28, Deepti reflected on what playing for a team representing her home state means to her. As a player, I always think about how I can stay level-headed, and that mindset pushes me to keep improving. It feels like a great opportunity for me because I belong to UP, from Agra and playing for the UP Warriorz makes that connection special. It gives me extra motivation to perform. When the WPL family comes to watch, it becomes even more enjoyable. The crowd supports us, and it feels like we are playing at home. That kind of backing gives you confidence on the field. I want to contribute as much as I can for this team and make the fans proud, Deepti told JioStar. Deepti has also embraced the responsibility of finishing innings for Warriorz, a role that requires her to assess the situation quickly and remain composed when the pressure is at its highest. The finishers are the ones who close out the game at the end and, I have been given that role with the bat for the UP Warriorz in whatever matches I have played, right from the start. So, I always think that whatever position I bat at or however many balls I face, I must finish the job. And whatever total is on the board, that stays in my mind. I know how many balls are left and I must get the team to that total. If I stay calm and back my skills, I know I can get the job done. When we think like this during the innings, we learn a lot from that experience. Every match teaches you something new about handling pressure and finishing games, she added. Deeptis comments come as Warriorz prepare to reshape their squad after two successive seasons at the bottom of the WPL standings. The franchise has released several prominent overseas and domestic players, including Deandra Dottin, Chloe Tryon, Amy Jones, Asha Sobhana, Shweta Sehrawat and Kiran Navgire. The overhaul leaves Warriorz with an opportunity to rebuild their squad at the auction, where all five teams will seek to fill the vacant slots on October 28. Each franchise can have a maximum of 18 players. Deeptis comments come as Warriorz prepare to reshape their squad after two successive seasons at the bottom of the WPL standings.

Reflecting on the hectic pace of work during that era, Raveena said that she and Karisma were among the actresses who would often work for what felt like more than 24 hours a day. Raveena admitted that the hectic routine could become so overwhelming that they sometimes even lost track of the characters they were portraying. Reflecting on the hustle of that era, she shared, 90s mein I think do hi heroines thi jo literally 24 ghante mein 36 ghante kaam karte the. Ek Lolo ji hain aur ek main hoon. Aur 6 different productions ke 6 sets pe alag alag ek din mein hum shooting karte the. Do ghante idhar, dedh ghante udhar, teen ghante idhar toh chaar ghante udhar. Hume pata bhi nahi ki hum kaunse character mein hain. Beyond a point, hum bhool jaate the ki joh bhi bola gaya hai woh karo. Uss samay humko kahan rich spoiled brat', ek hi role tha 6 sets pe. (In the 90s, I think there were only two actresses who literally worked 36 hours in a 24-hour day. One was Lolo ji and the other was me. We would shoot for six different productions on six different sets in a single day. Two hours here, one and a half hours there, three hours at another set and then four hours somewhere else. At times, we didnt even know which character we were playing. After a point, we would forget everything and simply do whatever we were told. Back then, there was no such thing as a rich spoiled bratit was the same role across all six sets.)

Shake down middlemen, not common citizens, to finance drought aid: Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Saamana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 29 (IANS) In a sharp critique of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnaviss recent appeal urging citizens to cut back on personal celebrations and donate their savings towards drought relief, the Shiv Sena(UBT) on Tuesday questioned the state administrations intent and priorities. Terming the governments approach picking pennies from empty pockets, the Thackeray camp in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Samaana', asserted that asking a financially strained public to fund disaster management is both insensitive and inadequate. The editorial drew attention to the escalating agrarian crisis across Maharashtra, noting that four farmers had died by suicide within a span of just two days across Parbhani, Yavatmal, Solapur, and Hingoli districts due to severe drought-induced debt and hardship. It warned that without immediate, direct state assistance, drought-affected areas risk turning into graveyards, placing the entire responsibility for sustaining these communities squarely on the shoulders of the Chief Minister and his administration. Directly challenging CM Fadnavis, the Thackeray camp stated that instead of asking common citizens -- who are already grappling with inflation and economic stress -- to cut down on small family functions like weddings and naming ceremonies, the government should crack down on internal corruption, kickbacks, and contractor commissions. The editorial pointed to alleged financial irregularities in various state infrastructure initiatives, citing the controversial coastal land sales in the Konkan region and heavy fund flows around the Shaktipeeth Expressway. It further claimed that public funds are routinely diverted to favour contractors, urging the Chief Minister to curb these leakages to generate drought relief capital rather than asking the public to scrimp. The state government has become a government of commission-agents and contractors. There is looting everywhere. Inventing unnecessary projects to divert the treasury to contractors and warm one's own pockets -- even if the Chief Minister stops this loot, it will benefit the drought-affected, remarked the Thackeray camp. Taking aim at political rivalries and horse-trading allegations, the editorial called on the ruling alliance to redirect political expenditures towards rural distress. It suggested that funds allegedly set aside for political defection and electioneering be diverted immediately to help affected farmers. Furthermore, the editorial proposed several key measures for the government to generate substantial drought funds. It called upon the government to ensure pending instalments meant for political allies are transferred directly into drought relief funds and mandate substantial contributions from major Mumbai builders, Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) developers, and senior bureaucrats whose revenues remain high. The editorial urged the state government to request an allocation of Rs 2,000 crore to Rs 4,000 crore from the unutilised balance in the PM CARES Fund to support Maharashtras agricultural sector. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, in conclusion, emphasised that symbolic donations from ministers, such as giving up a single months official salary, amount to empty gestures given the vast resources controlled by ruling politicians. It urged the leadership to demonstrate true courage by shaking down the thriving nexus of corrupt officials, contractors, and political middlemen to secure genuine relief for the states 11 crore citizens.

BOOX Picco Turns Dead Minutes Into Book Chapters, Not Doomscrolls
Dead minutes are where reading habits die. You mean to open a book in a checkout line or a pickup wait, and five minutes later you are still in the feed. BOOX Picco is a roughly $100 experiment for people who want that habit back: those waits become a chapter instead of another doomscroll. It is not for everyone. If you want a couch-novel device, skip it. If you want a tiny reader that can live next to your phone, keep going. First, what it is. Picco is a standalone e-reader with its own 3.97-inch ePaper screen and its own streamlined OS. It is not a phone accessory display that borrows your phones interface. You read on Picco. The phone is optional travel scaffolding, not the brain of the product. The magnet is convenient, not required. An included magnetic ring case can snap Picco to the back of a smartphone so the two travel as one. Leave the case off and it still works in a pocket or bag. Official pages never claim MagSafe certification or publish a phone model matrix. Do not buy it as an Apple accessory badge. Loading books is the real friction , and you should know it before you click preorder. There is no Google Play Store and no Kindle app. You move files through the BOOX Tiles phone app, booxtiles.com, or a USB-C cable. Official formats include EPUB, MOBI, and AZW* family files once transferred that way. Transferring an AZW file is not Amazon library sync with DRM. Plan on a little setup before the dead-minute ritual works. Size is the other honesty check. At about playing-card size and roughly 58 g (105.5 62 5.5 mm), this panel is built for short chapters in line, not long sofa sessions. Warm/cool front light, touch, and physical page buttons help the habit. They do not make a 3.97-inch screen feel like a full-size Kindle. Skip Picco if your main use is long novels at home. Picco is the first device in BOOX Tiles, on preorder at https://shop.boox.com/products/picco . Pricing starts from $99.99 : Hong Kong warehouse $99.99, US warehouse $109.99. Shipping is expected by November. Storage starts with a 16 GB microSD in the box, expandable up to 2 TB. Connectivity is Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and USB-C. I wonder how many buyers will keep reaching for the chapter when Instagram is still one thumb away. If you want a cheap, honest test of that habit, and you accept the load friction and the small screen, this is the clearest BOOX try of the bunch right now.

J&K Class 12 results improve to 86.36%
Srinagar, Sept 28: The Jammu and Kashmir School Education Department has reported a sharp improvement in board examination results and a decline in school dropout rates, with the Class 12 pass percentage rising from 75.95 per cent in 2024-25 to 86.08 per cent in 2025-26, while the Class 10 pass percentage increased from 79.94 per cent to 86.36 per cent over the same period. The details were presented in a government reply on the department's reformative measures. According to the reply, the department has introduced the School/Cluster Complex system to facilitate better utilisation of manpower and other resources and promote sharing of facilities among schools. The department also highlighted transfer drives and rationalisation of teachers, saying these measures were undertaken to ensure optimum utilisation of available teaching resources. Teacher capacity-building has been identified as one of the major areas of intervention. The government reply states that 78,975 elementary teachers, 21,926 secondary teachers and 40,318 pre-primary/primary teachers have undergone training through programmes including JKSCERT and online training initiatives. The department has also reported fresh recruitment initiatives for lecturers. 594 posts of 10+2 lecturers in 27 disciplines were referred to the J&K Public Service Commission under the direct recruitment quota. The government has further said that 396 schools have been upgraded and developed as exemplary schools under the PM SHRI scheme. Other measures mentioned include the rollout of Holistic Progress Cards, the introduction of the JK Attendance App using geo-facial recognition, and the establishment of the Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) for real-time tracking of academic performance and administrative efficiency. The department also said the JK-ePathshala DTH channel was launched in January 2026, with separate channels planned for individual classes. According to the reply, 3,008 schools are already covered (1,420 CAL Centres and 1,588 ICT labs) equipped with internet facility. An additional 2,388 ICT Labs and 4,597 Smart Classrooms are in the process of establishment to promote digital learning. The government has cited a decline in dropout rates as one of the measurable outcomes of the reforms. At the primary level, the dropout rate for Classes I-V was reported at 1.1 per cent in 2025-26, compared with 1.6 per cent in 2024-25. For Classes VI-VIII, the reported dropout rate declined to 2.8 per cent in 2025-26, from 3.20 per cent in 2024-25. The government has additionally said that J&K's score under the Performance Grading Index (PGI) 2.0 increased from 500.2 to 547.0, with the performance category moving from Akanshi-2 to Akanshi-1.

A total of 4,481 Vocational Labs have been established for practical education. The remaining 70 schools shall be projected in the coming PAB under Samagra Shiksha to saturate all 2,530 Government High and Higher Secondary schools in terms of vocational/skill education. Skill Education is being taught from Class 9th to 12th, and at present around 1.54 lakh students are getting vocational education. At present, 15 sector-specific trades covering 19 job roles are being offered in Government High and Secondary schools aligned with the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) to ensure standardised, competency-based training, the department said. Capacity-building programmes and training workshops are regularly conducted for teachers and Heads of Institutions to ensure effective implementation and quality delivery of vocational education. On the issue of remuneration for cook-cum-helpers in government schools, the department said the cooks-cum-helpers are being paid an honorarium of Rs 1,000 per month under the PM POSHAN schemeRs 900 from the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and Rs 100 by the UT government for a period of 10 months in a calendar year. The proposal for enhancement of honorarium to Cook-cum-Helpers has been taken up with the Ministry of Education, Government of India. About regularisation of their services, it is a policy matter and pertains to the Government of India, the department said.

Serious geopolitical developments create upheaval, desperation & concern in entire Pakistan
FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS Geopolitical developments taking place at a fast pace around the world, and particularly in the region and sphere in which Pakistan is involved, create great concern and desperation in Pakistan. These upheavals for Pakistan are mostly beyond any sort of control or convenient management that could have been ordinarily or even extraordinarily possible in routine matters. Analysts, government and their agencies throughout and the media in Pakistan are in serious and worrisome wild debate and discussion on these upheavals and the sudden developments causing perceivable hurt to its international and regional position. The SCO Summit in Uzbekistan followed by the BRICS Summit in New Delhi over the last two months have been a cause of serious concern and frustration for Pakistan. The tour of two Central Asian nations by PM Narendra Modi, followed by various programmes, diplomatic and political engagements therein, including his recognition by the Uzbek nation, conferring upon him their highest public honour, has also added to the already existing frustration. The uranium supply programme discussion with the Uzbekistan government by the Indian leadership has also been a migraine-giving factor for the think tank in Pakistans establishment. The success of the BRICS summit in New Delhi, in which Russian President Putin and the Chinese President Xi Jinping also participated with great enthusiasm along with the other global leaders, created ripples in the whole socio-political set-up of Pakistan. Moreover, Pakistan's non-inclusion in the summit due to the lack of any invitation further added salt to its injury. The invitation to Iran and serious engagements with them at the Summit was also not taken kindly by it. Ever since the outbreak of the US-Iran-Israel war, the energy crisis and their prices have disturbed the whole world. Every nation has made attempts to cater to its energy demand and is deeply concerned about the supply chain of oil globally. India has been continuously and consistently playing its positive role so far as the oil supply chain and its routes are concerned. It has maintained cordial and warm relationships with the Middle East countries for the good of humanity that includes its own good too. This was visible through the BRICS summit in New Delhi when the President of Iran had cordial bilateral meetings on its sidelines with the Indian side, in which he showed a great bonhomie and also exhibited positive expectations from the Indian leadership in the context of the US-Iran war. The positive overtures of the Indian side in this regard were taken due note of by everyone. India was also successful in brokering a high-level meeting between the UAE and Iran leadership during the BRICS sidelines, which sent shockwaves through Pakistans political leadership and its strategic policy managers. The Indian leadership has taken several important steps to ensure the stability of the oil supply chain through the Middle East despite the ongoing strife there. Besides ensuring crude oil and other energy supplies from Russia (despite US sanctions), Iran and Saudi Arabia, India took tangible steps to ensure its future energy requirements as well. In this connection, it went ahead with some important steps that have far-reaching implications regionally and globally. India and the UAE are taking their long-standing energy partnership to another level. Following India's Prime Minister Narendra Modis visit to the UAE in May this year, Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Limited and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) agreed to explore significantly expanding cooperation in strategic energy storage, including the potential storage of up to 30 million barrels of ADNOC crude oil in Indias Strategic Petroleum Reserves. This is surely significant as it ensures energy freedom to India in the region. The agreement is about expanding strategic storage cooperation and strengthening energy supply security between the two nations. Pakistan analysts and the media have been crying about this proposed cooperation, which also includes ADNOCs participation in storage facilities at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh (India) and the development of reserve facilities at Chandikhol in Odisha (India), alongside its existing storage presence at Mangalore. They feel surprised that the two sides are also exploring the possibility of storing crude oil at Fujairah in the UAE as part of Indias strategic petroleum reserve framework. Cooperation in LNG and LPG storage is also being explored by the two sides and the analysts in their opinion in Pakistan view it as a major threat to Pakistan in the event of any kind of conflict between India and Pakistan. They term it as 'a big disparity in the energy security scenario in the region that has negative implications for the region, especially Pakistan'. 'For a major oil-importing economy like India, that also exports refined oil to other countries globally, strategic petroleum reserves can provide an important buffer during wars, geopolitical tensions, shipping disruptions or other emergencies that affect global energy supplies'. Indian opinion in this regard says that larger and more diversified reserves can strengthen the countrys ability to respond to unexpected supply shocks. 'This is where diplomacy and security of energy come together, thus strengthening international partnerships today while preparing for the uncertainties of tomorrow'. While the India-UAE partnership shows how long-term energy cooperation can contribute to more resilient supply chains and greater surety about the future, Pakistan views the partnership as a threat to regional and global security. The Yemen Houthi rebels drone and missile attack targeting Saudi Arabia and its energy infrastructure, and particularly the city of Mecca, has created serious doubts about the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement signed in August this year between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan. It has caused serious doubts about the collective security pact. Saudi Arabia was forced to take help from Israel in regard to the intelligence inputs regarding these and future attacks. The Agreement was put to the test, and it was observed that neither Pakistan nor Turkey could in any way come to the rescue of Saudi Arabia, particularly when the city of Mecca was under attack by the Houthis. The Agreement had said that 'any attack on any one of the signatories to the agreement would be treated as an attack on all of them'. The rebels also declared a naval blockade on the Saudi shipping in the Red Sea and Bab el Mandeb Strait, and there was virtually no response from Pakistan and Turkey in this connection, keeping in view the provisions of the Agreement between the three nations. The United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in the context of its 81st session during the month of September 2026 brought India into focus once again. The Turkish President Erdogan and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, besides Pakistan's permanent representative, raised the Kashmir issue in their addresses, which were responded well by the Indian representatives. However, the absence of the Indian Prime Minister, Chinese President and the Russian President from the UNGC session was also commented upon in various ways by the Pakistan analysts, while it was also said that the presence and address of the US President Trump in the UNGC had no major relevance in context of the current geo-political scenario. The support expressed in favour of India by the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah and Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay in the UNGC meetings and particularly the support for India's permanent position in the Security Council, was viewed very seriously by the analysts in Pakistan. The reply presented by a number of India's representatives on Kashmir had a great impact on the psyche of Pakistan's thinking minds. This can be further analysed in the context of the following development in which the Indian diplomat Khitij Tyagi serving as Counsellor at Indias Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, on September 23, 2026, delivered Indias Right of Reply during the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, responding to Pakistans remarks on Jammu & Kashmir. One of the key issues he dwelt upon was the 1990 forced mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley. Responding to Pakistans allegations concerning Kashmir, Khitij Tyagi said that Kashmiri Pandits were driven from their homes by the terrorists whom Pakistan had armed, trained and sent across the border. He added that the same terrorists subsequently killed Kashmiris belonging to different faiths. He also referred to reports of civilian deaths, arrests and shortages of food and medicine in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, and made it a point to convey that Pakistan ought to focus on development rather than territorial claims and the export of terrorism to the world and particularly to India. Ambassador Parvathineni Harish of India strongly rejected the Pakistan claims and said that Pakistan is habitually misusing the UN platforms for divisive political agendas and reiterated that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are inalienable and internal part of India. Additionally, PM Sharief, in his address, raked up the issue of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) at the UN again. However, the External Affairs Ministry of India, under the leadership of Dr S.Jay Shankar, External Affairs Minister, who was also at the UN, already issued a befitting reply from Bishkek in this context. India made its stand known to the world on the IWT issue. The statement said that the Hague-based International Tribunal ruling that 'Indias decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was not legally permissible and that the 1960 pact remains fully in force' was not in any way acceptable to India. India rejected the ruling, saying the tribunal had no jurisdiction to pronounce on its sovereign decisions. India rejected the award and also the interim measures order, reiterating that it does not recognise the Court of Arbitration and has never participated in its proceedings.

SpaceX's Starship rocket reaches orbit for 1st time despite failure of an engine
SpaceX ( SPCX ) put Starship into Earth orbit for the first time on Monday and deployed all 26 Starlink V3 satellites on board, despite an engine going out during ascent, a SpaceX representative said during the company's live broadcast. Payload deploy complete. All 26 @Starlink V3 satellites are in orbit, SpaceX posted on X at 9:54 a.m. ET, about half an hour after the ship began releasing them. Ship 41 lost one of its six Raptor engines during ascent but finished its ascent burn and coasted on what SpaceX called a passively safe suborbital trajectory while engineers checked the ship's systems. At 9:11 a.m. ET, the company gave the Go for orbit! call. SpaceX stock fell 2.2% on Monday, falling in sympathy with the broader tech trade. Starship then fired a single Raptor engine for its orbital insertion burn. SpaceX said the burn put the ship in orbit of Earth for the first time. The company had said it was targeting an orbit of about 275 kilometers. Super Heavy Booster 21 successfully separated from Starship and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico. Every previous Starship flight stopped short of orbit, flying suborbital paths that ended in splashdowns or, on several tests, the loss of the vehicle. Starship's payload included 26 Starlink V3 satellites, built to fly on Starship because they are too large for Falcon 9, which is SpaceX's workhorse rocket. SpaceX has said each V3 satellite will carry more than 1 terabit per second of downlink capacity, well above the V2 Mini satellites now in service. Starship releases them in sequence through a door in the side of the ship. Starship has begun deploying its payload of 26 @Starlink V3 satellites. This deployment sequence will take ~30 minutes pic.twitter.com/ycIdAx5Lbe SpaceX (@SpaceX) September 28, 2026 Monday's deployment marks the first time Starship has delivered an operational payload to orbit. Starlink is SpaceX's largest business, and a working Starship is central to how the company plans to expand the network's capacity and reduce the cost of launching each satellite into orbit. Monday's flight also comes as SpaceX is now a public company, putting the rocket program under investor scrutiny. Shortly before launch, SpaceX posted that it is building the infrastructure of the future, from supercomputers to Terafab to Gigasat to a new Starbase in Louisiana. Recently, SpaceX's AI compute business has helped push the stock higher, after it dipped below $100 shortly after its IPO. Pras Subramanian is Lead Transportation Reporter for Yahoo Finance.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 28 (IANS) The statement of accused-turned-approver Pradosh Rao in the Renukaswamy murder case was recorded for nearly three hours before a court in Bengaluru on Monday, with the proceedings being held in-camera. The court adjourned the matter to Tuesday for continuation of his statement. Pradosh, who was initially accused number 14 in the case, was brought before the City Civil and Sessions Court amid tight security. After the proceedings, he was taken back to Parappana Agrahara Central Prison under police escort. Jailed actor Darshan and his partner Pavithra Gowda also participated in the proceedings through video conference from Bengaluru Central Prison. As Pradosh's statement was lengthy and had to be signed by him, the court adjourned the proceedings to Tuesday following a request by Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Prasannakumar. Pradosh is recording his statement after being permitted to turn approver in the case. During the proceedings, he is expected to provide details concerning the events surrounding the alleged assault and murder of Renukaswamy, as well as his interactions with the other accused. Meanwhile, senior advocate Hashmat Pasha, appearing for actor Darshan, has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court challenging Pradosh being made an approver and seeking a stay on the proceedings concerning his statement. Pasha said Darshan's legal team had earlier approached the trial court challenging Pradosh's status as an approver. We had approached the trial court challenging Pradosh being made an approver. However, as the trial court did not accept our plea, we have filed an SLP before the Supreme Court, he added. The recording of Pradosh's statement is expected to continue on Tuesday and is likely to be completed after the remaining portions are recorded. The police had made elaborate security arrangements in and around the court premises in view of alleged threats to Pradosh from Darshan's fans. The Central Deputy Commissioner of Police Zone Akshay M Hakay had deputed one Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), three police Inspectors, eight Sub-Inspectors and more than 40 police personnel for his security. Pradosh, who is currently lodged at Bengaluru Central Prison, will be brought to the court on Tuesday under the escort of Kamakshipalya police, which registered and investigated the murder case, along with prison authorities. Darshan's counsel had challenged the decision before the Karnataka High Court, but the petition was not entertained. As an approver, Pradosh is expected to give his account of the alleged murder and the events surrounding the death of Renukaswamy. His statement is likely to be recorded in detail by the trial court. The Renukaswamy murder case concerns the alleged killing of 35-year-old Renukaswamy, a fan of Kannada actor Darshan, in Bengaluru in June 2024. According to the prosecution, Renukaswamy was allegedly abducted, assaulted and killed, with his body later being found in the Kamakshipalya area. Actor Darshan and several others were arrested in connection with the case and are facing trial. The prosecution has alleged that Renukaswamy was targeted after he sent some vulgar messages to Darshan's partner, Pavithra Gowda. The court on Monday dismissed a memo petition filed by actor Darshan seeking to postpone the recording of Pradosh's statement as an approver. The plea was filed seeking a two-day postponement, with Darshan's counsel saying that they intended to approach the Supreme Court against the Karnataka High Court's decision dismissing Darshan's petition challenging Pradosh's status as an approver.

The Yash Chopra Foundation (YCF), the philanthropic arm of Yash Raj Films, has expanded its Scholarship Program this year, selecting 11 students, including the first-ever scholars pursuing Robotics and technology-led courses. The Foundation continues to take forward the vision of legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra by giving back to the industry that has given abundant love to YRF for over 50 years. Through the YCF Scholarship Program, the Foundation supports the children of registered Hindi film industry and FWICE union members in pursuing higher education, offering financial assistance of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per student. While the program has traditionally backed students in media, film and creative disciplines, this year it extends to a wider range of professional and technical courses, including Robotics & Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, IT, Management, Law and Medical studies. The move reflects the evolving landscape of the film and creative industries and the growing role of technology in shaping its future. The 11 students were chosen after a merit- and need-based screening process from over 300 registered applicants. They will receive financial assistance towards their course fees for the 2026-27 academic year. Among the technology-led picks, Nidhi Subhashchandra Yadav is pursuing a B.Sc. in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Systems at Thakur College, while Aryan Singh is studying B.Tech in CSE (AI & ML) at Thakur Shyamnarayan College of Engineering. Valencia Rojiyar Madhura has enrolled for a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Cyber Security) at NMIMS College of Engineering, and Uzma Sarfaraz Khan is doing an M.Sc. in IT at Vivek College of Commerce.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Yash Chopra Foundation (@yashchoprafoundation) Speaking about the initiative, Akshaye Widhani, CEO, Yash Raj Films, shared, The Hindi film industry has always been built on the contribution of people working across every level of the ecosystem, and the YCF Scholarship Program is our way of extending that support to the next generation of their families. What is particularly meaningful this year is seeing that support evolve with the aspirations of the students themselves. From media and management to Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, engineering and medicine, the 11 scholars represent a much wider spectrum of possibilities than when we first started this program. As the industry changes, it is important that the opportunities we create for its families evolve with it too. We are happy to play a small part in helping these students access the education and careers they aspire to. Through this initiative, YCF continues to support the children of the industry's behind-the-scenes workforce, including technicians, light men, spot boys and other daily wage workers who are an integral part of Hindi cinema, helping turn their academic aspirations into opportunities for a brighter future.

Telangana: Khairatabad Assembly seat declared vacant after Nagenders disqualification
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 28 (IANS) The Khairatabad Assembly seat has been officially declared vacant following the disqualification of Danam Nagender as a member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Assembly issued a gazette notification stating that Nagender stood disqualified with effect from April 23, 2024, under Paragraph 2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule read with Article 191(2) of the Constitution. Consequently, the seat stands vacant. Rendla Thirupathi, Secretary to the Legislature, issued the notification dated September 26 in pursuance of the Telangana High Court judgment delivered on September 18. Nagender was elected from Khairatabad in the 2023 Assembly elections as a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) candidate. He later switched loyalties to the ruling Congress and contested the Lok Sabha elections from Secunderabad constituency on a Congress ticket. Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar had dismissed petitions filed by BRS MLAs and a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA seeking Nagenders disqualification. The petitioners challenged the Speakers decision in the High Court. On September 18, a Division Bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin held that Nagender stood disqualified under Paragraph 2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule read with Article 191(2) of the Constitution, after contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as a Congress candidate despite being elected as a BRS MLA. The High Court declared the Khairatabad seat vacant. It directed that a copy of its order be communicated to the Secretary of the Telangana Legislative Assembly and the Election Commission of India. The judgment came on petitions filed by BJP Legislature Party leader Alleti Maheshwar Reddy and BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy, challenging the Speakers March 11, 2026 decision dismissing the disqualification petitions. The High Court recorded that Nagender was elected as a BRS MLA in December 2023 and subsequently filed his nomination on April 23, 2024, as a Congress candidate for Secunderabad, where he campaigned against the BRS nominee. Nagender approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court order, but the apex court dismissed his petition, finding no ground to interfere. Meanwhile, Nagender said he was confident he would win the Khairatabad by-election. He told the media that the bypoll result would shock his political opponents. He also said the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) would have no impact on the constituency.
Biting Gold Medal Is A Next-level Feeling: Cricketer Deepti Sharma Reflects On Asian Games Glory
Cricketer Deepti Sharma: Describing the act of biting her gold medal on the podium as a next-level feeling, Indias off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma said there was an overwhelming sense of pride in winning the yellow metal in the womens T20 event at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya. Deepti was a member of the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side that defended their gold medal with a thumping 147-run win over Sri Lanka at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin. I can't even express the feeling of winning the gold medal because we haven't had that much of a habit of getting it yet, just like how we have been winning trophies. But it felt really good on the podium with the national anthem, and when everyone was lined up with the team, it felt really good. When our flag was there, it was an amazing feeling. The feeling of a gold medal is always different, and when you wear it and even bite it for a bit, I can tell you, it's a very different level of feeling because we've only had the trophies so far, but it's a next level feeling, Deepti said to broadcasters Star Sports on the WPL 2027 retention deadline show on Monday. Turning her focus to WPL 2027, where UP Warriorz (UPW) retained her, the Agra-born Deepti highlighted the emotional grounding that comes with playing for the franchise in the five-team competition. Deepti was acquired by the franchise for Rs 3.2 crore at the mega auction held in New Delhi in November 2025. As a player, I always think about how I can stay neutral, and this is the thing that keeps me moving forward. How can I do better? So, I think it's a good opportunity because, obviously, I belong to UP, from Agra, and playing for the UP team, I feel that connection is on a different level. When the family comes to see WPL, it's even more fun. It feels like we're at home, she said. In the WPL 2026 season, Deepti wasnt at her best - making 131 runs with the bat and picking up seven wickets. The finishers are those who finish the game at the end, and as a finisher, I've been given the role that I've been given in matches from the start. As a player, I always think about how I can stay neutral, and this is the thing that keeps me moving forward. How can I do better? So, I think it's a good opportunity because, obviously, I belong to UP, from Agra, and playing for the UP team, I feel that connection is on a different level. When the family comes to see WPL, it's even more fun. It feels like we're at home, she said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
Why is Mammootty facing backlash over a tilak? Here
Highlights Mammootty faced criticism online after a video showed him receiving a tilak during his visit to Gujarat The actor was in the state to receive his National Film Award for Bramayugam A social media user questioned Mammootty for accepting the traditional gesture The incident sparked a wider debate about religion, culture and public gestures Mammootty has faced backlash on social media after a video from his recent visit to Gujarat showed him receiving a tilak during a traditional welcome. The Malayalam superstar had travelled to the state to receive his National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Bramayugam . During the welcome, a tilak was applied to his forehead, with the moment later drawing criticism from some social media users. Why is Mammootty being criticised over the tilak? The video shows Mammootty being welcomed in Gujarat before attending the National Film Awards ceremony. As part of the traditional welcome, he was presented with a bouquet and had a tilak applied to his forehead. The gesture itself was part of the welcome ceremony, but one social media user questioned Mammootty for accepting it. The criticism focused on the actor's religious identity and whether he should have participated in the ritual. The comments quickly drew attention online, with others defending Mammootty's decision to accept the welcome as a cultural gesture rather than viewing it solely through a religious lens. What happened during Mammoottys Gujarat visit? Mammootty travelled to Gujarat to receive his fourth National Film Award for Best Actor. He was honoured for his performance in Bramayugam , the Malayalam period horror film directed by Rahul Sadasivan. The actor has received widespread recognition for the performance, which saw him play the mysterious character Kodumon Potti. His latest win added another National Award to a career spanning more than four decades. The controversy surrounding the tilak came from footage of Mammootty's welcome in Gujarat and was separate from the award itself. Why has the video sparked a wider debate? The incident has prompted discussion around the difference between religious practices and cultural traditions, particularly when public figures are involved. For Mammootty, the moment took place during an official visit connected to one of the biggest honours in Indian cinema. The online reaction has instead shifted attention towards the meaning attached to a simple traditional welcome gesture. The debate also reflects how moments involving religion and celebrities can quickly become contentious on social media, even when the original context is ceremonial or cultural. See on Instagram

In a video shared after a meditation retreat in Atlanta, she spoke about information she says she recently received from the person who conducted his post-mortem. Her comments have drawn attention because they differ from the findings reported in the 2020 post-mortem, which stated that there were no external injuries or signs of struggle. What did Shweta Singh Kirti say about Sushant Singh Rajputs post-mortem? Shweta claimed that the person who conducted Sushant s post-mortem told her that a stun gun had been used on the actor, pointing towards his neck.

Instead, she said the fight for justice should come from the space of love and not revenge. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020. He was 34.

Nirvan is the son of Salman Khans brother Sohail Khan. Ayaan is the son of actor-producer Alvira Khan Agnihotri and filmmaker Atul Agnihotri. While he has been pursuing music independently, he recently made his Bollywood playback singing debut with the song Cmon Baby from Bobby Deol-starrer Bandar, directed by Anurag Kashyap. The track marked Ayaans first Hindi film song. He was reportedly encouraged by producer Nikhil Dwivedi to lend his voice to the number. Before entering playback singing, Ayaan had released independent tracks such as You Are Mine and Universal Laws. Interestingly, Cmon Baby is a recreated version of a song from the 1977 film Videsh, which starred Mahendra Sandhu, Shoma Anand and Prem Krishen. The new version retains the original lyrics, while the music has been reworked by Aditya Dev and Payal Dev.
