Assam Police bust honey-trap gang, arrest five in extortion case

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Oct 7 (IANS) An Instagram friendship that allegedly turned into an extortion racket has led Assam Police in Jorhat district to arrest five persons, including two women and the alleged female mastermind, in a honey-trapping case, officials said on Wednesday. The case came to light after a private-sector bank manager from Tinsukia lodged a complaint at Jorhat Sadar Police Station. According to Officer-in-Charge Hrishikesh Hazarika, the victim had befriended a woman from Jorhat on Instagram in July, and their online interactions later developed into a personal relationship. On August 14, the woman allegedly asked the bank manager to come to Jorhat. He reportedly arrived at around 1 a.m. and was taken to a rented house in Seoni Ali. According to the complaint, two unidentified men later arrived at the house. The woman allegedly opened the door, after which the intruders reportedly recorded compromising footage and threatened to circulate it on social media and share it with the victim's family. The gang initially demanded Rs 2 lakh, which the victim allegedly paid out of fear. Subsequently, demands for another Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh were made. Police said the victim paid a total of Rs 3 lakh before approaching the authorities. Acting on the directions of the Senior Superintendent of Police, a special team led by Hrishikesh Hazarika arrested two youths, Sanjib Das and Ankit Paul of Garmur, on October 2. They were produced before a court and remanded to judicial custody in Case No. 338/2026. Further investigation identified Moromi Das Neog as the alleged mastermind. A police team sent to Dibrugarh tracked her down and arrested her based on specific intelligence inputs. Police also arrested another woman, Baby Bora, and her husband, Ankit Bora. Preliminary examination of mobile phones seized from the accused suggests that the gang may have targeted several financially well-off individuals, including businessmen and government and private-sector employees, using a similar modus operandi. Calling it a clear case of honey-trapping, Hrishikesh Hazarika said police are examining digital evidence to identify other possible victims. The investigation is continuing.

Fenesta Open: Karthik upsets Kamboj; top seeds Manish Sureshkumar, Vaidehee Chaudhari in QF

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) Pranav Karthik, the 21-year-old from Tamil Nadu, caused a major upset on Wednesday at the 31st Fenesta Open National Tennis Championship, rallying from a set down to defeat No. 4 seed Udit Kamboj in the second round at the DLTA in New Delhi. Kamboj won the first set 6-1 and was neck-and-neck with his younger rival in the second set, which went to a tiebreak. Karthik won the tiebreak 7-3 and carried that momentum into the decider to win 1-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 in 2 hours and 31 minutes. To be honest, I was thinking I was going to lose for sure after the horrible first set, Karthik said after the win. I just kept serving well and maintaining my service games. And when it came to the tiebreak, it was 50-50. Then I just pulled it off with 3-4 good points. When I pulled off the tiebreak, I got more confidence and started going for my shots. The first game of the third set is always important because you have to keep pushing through and keep the momentum because you don't want to give him the breathing space. And thankfully, I got the break in the first game, and then I was able to run away with the match after that, he said. Meanwhile, the mens top seed Manish Sureshkumar had little trouble defeating Lakshit Sood 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. He was joined in the last eight by No. 6 seed Maan Kesharwani, No. 8 seed Rohan Mehra and Suraj Prabodh, who knocked out second seed Aditya Balsekar in the previous round on Tuesday. Sureshkumar and partner Nitin Sinha are also top seeds in the mens doubles draw and are scheduled to play their quarter-final match later in the evening. Also, the top five players in the womens singles draw booked their spots in the quarterfinals, with Vaidehee Chaudhari defeating 16-year-old Ahaan Ahaan 6-4, 6-1, while Shruti Ahlawat beat Parthsarthi Mundhe 6-2, 6-2. It was not easy or comfortable. I think the opponent was very good, Ahlawat said after the victory. I had to do everything to close the game, win the points. The score might look easy, but the match was good. I'm thinking point by point, match by match rather than thinking, I'll win the tournament. I would focus on my next round match and then see how it goes, he added. Third seed Akanksha Nitture also advanced, coming back after dropping the second set to defeat Yubrani Banerjee 6-1, 4-6, 6-1. I started well in the second set, Nitture said. I was hoping to finish it in two sets. She played well on the crucial points. But I had to reset for the third set. I knew that I needed to change a few things that I did wrong in the second set. I changed it in the third set, and it worked for me. I started keeping more balls in and started playing more consistently and mindfully. There was also a big upset in the Boys' U-18 singles draw as top seed Praneel Sharma was bundled out 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 by Veer Jiten Madam. Fourth seed Om Ramesh Patel and fifth seed Aditya Mor won their third-round matches in straight sets to join Madam in the quarterfinals. In the Girls' U-18 event, top seed Savitha Bhuvaneswaran was stretched to the limit by 14th seed Aahida Singh. The two battled for 2 hours and 45 minutes before Singh was forced to retire, with Bhuvaneswaran leading 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 3-0. Bhuvaneswaran was joined by second seed Parthsarthi Mundhe and third seed Shreeniti Chowdhury in the quarterfinals. Results: Mens Singles Second Round (Round of 16): Manish Sureshkumar [1] def.

Victim's initial statement, romantic relationship mitigating factors in POCSO bail plea: Delhi HC

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has granted bail to a 20-year-old man accused under the POCSO Act, observing that the romantic relationship between him and the 14-year-old victim, coupled with her initial statement that she had left home on her own and had no complaint against anyone, were mitigating factors that tilted the balance in favour of bail. A single-judge bench of Justice Mini Pushkarna said that the documents on record showed an intimate and romantic relationship between the applicant and the victim, who had posted photographs of the two on Instagram expressing her love for him. The Court cannot ignore the young age of both the applicant as well as the victim. The documents on record show the intimate and romantic relationship between the applicant and the victim. Further, in her initial statement, the victim stated in categorical terms that she had left the house of her own accord and that she did not want to make any complaint against anyone. These facts cannot be disregarded and serve as mitigating factors which tilt the balance towards grant of bail to the applicant, the bench said. Justice Pushkarna was dealing with the third regular bail application filed by Vicky, who has been in judicial custody for more than three years in connection with an FIR registered at Aman Vihar Police Station in July 2023. The FIR was initially registered on a missing complaint lodged by the victim's father after his minor daughter did not return home after leaving for school on July 28, 2023. She was traced on July 30 and brought to the police station. In its order, the High Court recorded that during counselling at the police station, the victim stated that she had left home in anger after being scolded by her mother and had gone to her maternal aunt's house. She also stated that she had no complaint against anyone and that no one had done anything wrong to her. The victim subsequently gave another statement alleging that the applicant had kept her against her will and sexually assaulted her, following which provisions relating to sexual assault and the POCSO Act were added to the FIR. The High Court noted that the victim was 14 years and eight months old at the time of the incident, while the applicant was 20 years and four months old. It further noted that the applicant and the victim had been in a relationship for several months before the incident and that the victim had posted various photographs of the applicant on Instagram, including photographs of the two in intimate positions. The High Court also took note of the fact that the victim had made different statements on different dates. During the hearing, the applicant's counsel had submitted that the two were in a love relationship for around eight to nine months before the incident and that their relationship was public and known to others. Counsel also argued that the applicant had already spent more than three years in custody, had no criminal antecedents, was a permanent resident of Delhi, and did not possess a passport. Opposing the bail plea, the prosecution submitted that the allegations were of an extremely grave nature involving a minor and that consent was irrelevant in proceedings under the POCSO Act. The complainant's counsel also opposed the plea, submitting that the victim had subsequently made categorical allegations of sexual assault and that the prosecution witnesses had corroborated each other. However, the High Court said that the applicant had already undergone more than three years of judicial custody and that the trial was likely to take time. There are 19 prosecution witnesses in the case, of whom only the victim and her father had been examined so far, it added. The High Court also took note of the forensic evidence. As per the FSL report, the DNA profiles of the applicant and the victim were accounted for in a mixed DNA profile obtained from the blanket recovered from the alleged place of incident. However, no male DNA could be generated from the cervical swabs and smears of the victim. Justice Pushkarna referred to an earlier judgment, in which the High Court had considered factors such as the age of the accused and the victim, their relationship, discrepancies in their statements and other real-life circumstances while considering bail in a POCSO case. In the facts and circumstances of the present case, the High Court said, it was inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Justice Pushkarna directed the applicant to appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and provide his permanent and current residential addresses to the investigating officer. He was also directed to keep his mobile number operational and report to the jurisdictional police station every Monday at 9 a.m. The High Court also directed that he should not directly or indirectly induce, threaten or promise any person acquainted with the facts of the case or tamper with evidence. It clarified that its observations were made only for deciding the bail application and would neither influence the trial proceedings nor be construed as an opinion on the merits of the case.

Meta unveils new AI tools to combat child sexual exploitation online

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) Meta on Wednesday announced a series of new AI-powered measures aimed at strengthening its fight against child sexual exploitation on Facebook and Instagram, as the company revealed it took action against 5.3 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content in India during the first six months of 2026. The social media giant said more than 98 per cent of the violative content removed in India between January and June this year was proactively detected by its systems before being reported by users. Between January to June 2026, we actioned 5.3 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content on Facebook and Instagram in India, with over 98 per cent found and proactively addressed before anyone reported it, the tech giant said. Globally, Meta said it actioned 33.2 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content across Facebook and Instagram during the same period, with over 97 per cent identified proactively. Globally between January to June 2026, we actioned 33.2 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content from Facebook and Instagram, over 97 per cent found and proactively addressed before anyone reported it, it added. According to the company, online predators are increasingly using sophisticated tactics to evade detection, including advertisements that appear harmless but covertly direct users to illegal content hosted outside Meta's platforms. In response, the company has upgraded its ad review systems and deployed additional artificial intelligence tools to identify such activity more effectively. Meta said the new safeguards include large language model (LLM)-based detection systems designed to identify signposting content that may appear benign but is suspected of directing users to child sexual exploitation material or related harmful activities. The company has also enhanced its ability to assess the destination of advertisements, enabling it to block links leading to violative content and take action against the accounts responsible. Once a link is blocked, we search for and then delete other content such as ads, posts or comments that contain the link. We take steps to prevent people from posting content containing a blocked link on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, and ads containing blocked links would be rejected at upload, Meta said in its official statement.

Smriti And Jemimah Pay Rich Tributes To Outgoing India Womens Skipper Harmanpreet

T20 World Cup: Newly appointed India women's cricket team captain Smriti Mandhana and middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues on Wednesday paid rich tributes to outgoing skipper Harmanpreet Kaur following her decision to step down from leadership across all formats. The BCCI on Tuesday named Smriti as the new captain of the women's national team after Harmanpreet resigned from the position. Harmanpreets leadership future came under scrutiny at a BCCI review meeting in Guwahati on Monday following India's second successive group-stage exit at the T20 World Cup in England in June. It has been a pleasure playing with you for so many years. Ten years of your leadership have been fantastic, and together, we will strive to bring many more laurels for our nation, Smriti, who will take over the reins starting with Indias white-ball series against Zimbabwe from October 16, wrote on her Instagram stories. Signing off on a high after guiding India to winning a gold medal at the Asian Games in Japan, Harmanpreet will always be remembered for captaining India to its maiden women's global championship title at last year's ODI World Cup. In all, Harmanpreet captained India in five Tests, 51 ODIs, and 155 T20Is. Echoing similar sentiments, Jemimah, who is recovering from a high-grade hamstring tear sustained while playing The Hundred in England, posted on Instagram, Congratulations on everything you've achieved. Thanks for the years of leadership and for everything you did for the team! Smritis elevation to full-time national captaincy marks a new chapter in her international career. Smriti has represented India in nine Tests, 120 ODIs, and 179 T20Is since her debut in 2013, and has been the backbone of the batting line-up alongside Harmanpreet. Echoing similar sentiments, Jemimah, who is recovering from a high-grade hamstring tear sustained while playing The Hundred in England, posted on Instagram, Congratulations on everything you've achieved. Thanks for the years of leadership and for everything you did for the team! Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Kubbra Sait on completing her first Via Ferrata summit while on her period: Trust your feet and do the hard thing

Actor, author and adventurer Kubbra Sait recently completed her first-ever Via Ferrata summit while on her period. Sharing pictures from the challenging climb, the Sacred Games and Farzi actor reflected on the experience and spoke about resilience, adaptability and trusting ones body. Kubbra described the climb as a physically demanding experience that also gave her an opportunity to reflect on what the human body can manage in challenging circumstances. In her post, she highlighted the importance of stepping outside familiar situations and taking on difficult experiences. Reflecting on the lesson she took away from the climb, Kubbra wrote, Trust your feet. She noted that while people often discuss change, prepare for it and try to understand it, real transformation comes from putting oneself in unfamiliar situations and facing challenges. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kubbra Sait (@kubbrasait) The actor also shared her thoughts on deliberately choosing difficult experiences. She pointed out that life can bring unexpected challenges without warning, and believes that voluntarily taking on hardships can help people develop the mental and emotional resilience needed to deal with uncertainty. Kubbra also revealed that her 69-year-old mountain guide has been climbing for more than four decades. She added that even young children have completed the route, a realisation that made her reflect on how fear can sometimes appear bigger than the challenge itself. Her experience also brought attention to the way menstruation is often viewed as a reason to avoid physically demanding activities. By sharing her own experience of completing the climb while on her period, Kubbra highlighted how the body can adapt to demanding situations. Concluding her reflection, Kubbra encouraged people to face challenges instead of avoiding them. Her message focused on trusting oneself, taking on difficult experiences and discovering what one is capable of through them: climb the mountain, trust your feet and do the hard thingyou may discover a version of yourself you never knew existed.

Anupam Kher pays tribute to Jeffrey Archer, recalls meeting the late author at Dubai Literature Festival: It is a memory I will always cherish

Actor and author Anupam Kher paid tribute to celebrated British author Jeffrey Archer, remembering a meeting that became a particularly meaningful moment in his own journey as a first-time author. Sharing an old photograph from their interaction, Kher recalled meeting Archer at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai and presenting him with his first book, The Best Thing About You Is You. Kher shared the photograph on social media along with a heartfelt note following Archers passing. Reflecting on the authors contribution to literature, he remembered himself as a longtime admirer of Archers work, particularly books such as Kane and Abel and Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less. Deeply saddened by the passing of the great storyteller, #JeffreyArcher. I have been, and will always remain, a great admirer of his writing, Kher wrote. Anupam Kher recalls meeting Jeffrey Archer Kher said he had the opportunity to meet Archer at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai, where he presented the author with his debut book. I had the opportunity to meet him at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai and present him with my first book, The Best Thing About You Is You. It was a brief yet very important meeting for me! One of the highlights of my life, he recalled. For Kher, the photograph from that occasion has taken on a deeper meaning with Archers passing. Looking at this photograph today, what touches me most is that he is holding my book in his hand. A writer whose books I had held with such admiration was now holding mine. There was something so beautiful about that moment, Kher wrote. He also remembered how he viewed himself during the meeting, despite being an established actor and a newly published author. I was an actor and a first-time author, but beside him, I was simply an excited admirer, he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The advice that stayed with Anupam Kher Kher also recalled the conversation he shared with Archer during their meeting. He remembered asking the author what he considered most important for a writer: We had a lovely chat. I remember asking him what he considered the most important thing for a writer. What stayed with me from his answer was the importance of memory and imagination. Those words have remained with me ever since. Looking back at the encounter, Kher connected Archers words with his own memories of the meeting. Today, my memory takes me back to that meeting, while his imagination lives on through his stories, he wrote. An old photograph becomes more precious Kher reflected on how the loss of someone admired can change the meaning of memories and photographs associated with them. He acknowledged, We all know that everyone has to go one day. Yet, when someone we admire is suddenly no longer here, we feel a vacuum that this knowledge cannot fill, he wrote. For Kher, the photograph with Archer has now become a lasting reminder of their brief interaction. An old photograph becomes more precious. A brief conversation returns with unexpected clarity. And we wish we could have that moment once more, he added. Concluding his tribute, Kher thanked Archer for his work, his warmth and the memory they shared. Thank you, Mr. Archer, for your stories, your warmth, and for holding my first book with such kindness. It is a memory I will always cherish, he wrote, while offering his condolences to Archers family and readers. Rest in peace. You will always have an admirer in me, Kher concluded.

Bigg Boss 20: Kaashvi Hiranandani BREAKS silence on Scout OPs confession of feelings changing for Love Gill; says, Trying to handle things outside

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Scout OP, also known as Tanmay Singh, has been at the centre of discussion over his changing equation with fellow housemate Love Gill. Amid growing speculation around his feelings for Love, his girlfriend and gaming creator Kaashvi Hiranandani has now addressed the buzz during a recent livestream. Scout OP and Kaashvi, who is also known as Kaashi, have reportedly been in a relationship for around five years. Inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, Scout has referred to Love as his sister. However, a recent conversation with Yung DSA has led viewers to question whether his feelings towards her may be changing. Scout OP talks about his changing feelings for Love Gill During a conversation with Yung DSA around October 5-6, Scout and Yung discussed his equation with Love in a partly coded exchange. The two reportedly used writing on the grass and sign language while discussing the subject. Yung asked Scout, Tera raasta badal raha hai kya? (Is your path changing?) Scout responded, Nahi pata (I dont know). He then said, Sister se pehle friend hota hai na aadmi (a person is a friend before she is a sister). View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Scout also admitted feeling jealous or possessive when Gullu, played by Kushal Tanwar, flirted with Love or became involved in conversations surrounding their relationship. During the discussion, he also brought up his girlfriend outside the house and expressed concern about how she might react to what was happening inside. While some viewers and reports interpreted the conversation as Scout acknowledging that his feelings for Love were becoming stronger, the exchange did not amount to a direct declaration of love. Scout continued to refer to the sister dynamic, while his I dont know response and comments about jealousy added to the speculation. Yung, meanwhile, said that he had never viewed Love as a sister, further adding to the discussion around Scouts equation with her. Kaashvi Hiranandani says she is okay Addressing the growing online conversation during her latest livestream, Kaashvi acknowledged that many people were waiting to see how she would react to Scouts behaviour inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. A lot of people have been thinking about my reactions to ScoutOPs behaviour inside the house. Firstly, I want to say that I am okay and trying to handle things outside. I genuinely wish Scout well, Kaashvi said. Rather than directly commenting on Scouts feelings for Love, Kaashvi highlighted the difference between how viewers interpret events inside the reality show and her understanding of Scout as someone she knows personally. What people are interpreting inside and outside the house are two different things. One is my personal relationship with Scout, and the other is knowing Scout as a person, she added. Regardless of what is happening, I want Scout to succeed because he has worked really hard to get where he is today, she said. Her response comes amid increasing interest in Scout and Loves friendship inside the house. While viewers continue to speculate about whether Scouts feelings have changed, Kaashvis comments suggest that she is choosing not to publicly draw conclusions about his behaviour and is instead dealing with the situation privately.

Ramayana: Arun Govil unveiled as King Dashrath in new poster; actor who immortalised Lord Ram returns as his father

The makers of Ramayana have unveiled a new solo poster featuring Arun Govil as King Dashrath, giving audiences a first look at the actor in his role in Nitesh Tiwaris upcoming two-part epic. The casting holds particular significance as Govil remains closely associated with his iconic portrayal of Lord Ram in the television adaptation of Ramayan. In the newly released poster, Arun Govil appears in the regal avatar of King Dashrath, the King of Ayodhya and father of Lord Rama. The reveal marks a notable transition for the actor, who is now stepping into the role of the father of the character he famously portrayed for generations of Indian audiences. The makers shared the poster on social media with the caption: He once brought Ram to life for a generation. Now, he returns to the world of Ramayana as the King of Ayodhya. Arun Govil as King Dashrath. Govils association with the Ramayana universe dates back to his celebrated portrayal of Lord Ram, a role that became an enduring part of his career and public identity. His casting as Dashrath brings that familiarity with the epic into a different character, with the actor now set to portray one of the central figures in Ramas family story. The poster showcases Govil in an elaborate royal look, reflecting the stature of Dashrath as the ruler of Ayodhya. While audiences have traditionally associated the actor with the image of Lord Ram, his appearance as Dashrath offers a different interpretation of his connection to the epic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The World Of Ramayana (@worldoframayana) Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features an ensemble cast led by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Rocking Star Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Arun Govils casting as King Dashrath adds another familiar face to the films expansive ensemble. The film is being envisioned as a two-part epic and is produced by Namit Malhotras Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yashs Monster Mind Creations. Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled to release worldwide on November 5, 2026, while Part 2 is slated for Diwali 2027. The film is set to release across India in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. It will also be presented in IMAX. Sony Pictures will handle the films global distribution outside India, while Dharma Productions will distribute it in the Hindi-speaking market. With the latest poster, the makers have now offered audiences another glimpse into the casting of Ramayana, particularly Arun Govils transformation from the iconic Lord Ram of Indian television to King Dashrath in the upcoming cinematic adaptation.

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.

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.

This evening, we draw inspiration from the culinary traditions of the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the menu read, drawing a comparison between the Himalayas and the Swiss Alps. Like the Swiss Alps, the Himalayan ranges have fostered a cuisine of resourcefulness, refinement, and respect for seasonal produce, it further noted. The menu highlighted ingredients sourced from different parts of the region, including sea buckthorn, apricot, wild nettle, yak cheese and barley from the high plateaus of Ladakh. From Kashmir, the menu incorporated saffron, morels, lotus stem and fragrant spices, while Jammus distinctive sweets and street-food traditions also featured in the banquet.

It was followed by a salad, Labo-Na Tsonma, showcasing the cheese-making traditions of Ladakh and Jammu. The dish featured Labo and Chhurpi from Ladakh and Kalari from Jammu, accompanied by dried apple, walnuts, wild capers and lettuce, with a sea buckthorn and honey dressing. The menu also included Tangthur, comprising buckwheat or foxtail crackers, Ladakhi chuli (apricot) jam and a yoghurt dip with skotse or wild garlic chives. Among the appetisers was Kimb Chaat, described as a Jammu street-food delicacy prepared with boiled taro root, sweet potatoes and rice flour crispies, served with sweetened yoghurt, tamarind sauce and starfruit. Kashmirs culinary traditions were represented by Nadur Kebab, lotus stem patties seasoned with aromatic Kashmiri spices and served with walnut chutney, along with Chaman Qaliya, cottage cheese cooked in a milk and turmeric sauce. Another Kashmiri delicacy, Haakh, featured seasonal collard greens stewed with mustard oil and asafoetida, while Dum Olvu comprised potatoes cooked with yoghurt, dry ginger, fennel and other aromatic spices. Ladakhs traditional cuisine was represented by Phorok Nangka, a charcoal-roasted whole-wheat mok mok dumpling stuffed with turnip greens and caper leaves and served with tomato-onion relish. The main course included Kana Gucch Pulao, a fragrant rice preparation with Kashmiri morels and whole spices, served with Mujj Chatin, made from white radish and freshly churned yoghurt. For dessert, the menu featured Phaymer, a traditional Ladakhi preparation of roasted barley, jaggery and butter, served with Chura soft cheese. The banquet concluded with Kahwa, the traditional Kashmiri tea flavoured with cinnamon, cardamom and saffron. The menu, blending ingredients and recipes from Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, offered an international gathering a taste of the regions diverse food traditions while highlighting its indigenous produce and seasonal culinary practices.

'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.
