Digital Desk | Pune, Sep 10 (IANS) A group of people have approached the Pune Police seeking action against social media users who allegedly posted derogatory and objectionable comments targeting a woman who had lodged a complaint against social media influencer Santosh Pandit, police said on Thursday. Pandit has been accused of making allegedly derogatory remarks against Maharashtra Minister Chandrakant Patil and Pune Municipal Corporation corporator Mitali Kuldeep Salvekar. Following a complaint filed by Sarika Kamble, who works with the Pune Municipal Corporation, a case was registered against Pandit at the Kothrud police station. The issue took a further turn after members of the Bhau Foundation approached the Kothrud police station on Monday, seeking action against social media users who allegedly targeted Kamble after she filed the complaint against the influencer. The organisation alleged that Kamble became the target of derogatory remarks and abusive comments on social media simply because she approached the police over remarks that she considered offensive and objectionable. Tanisha Patil of Bhau Foundation condemned the derogatory and objectionable comments made against Kamble through social media and sought strict action against the trolls. We condemn the manner in which derogatory comments have been made through social media. Police should take strict action against such trolls. We will also lodge a complaint with Meta in this regard, Patil said. The organisation said that individuals should not be subjected to online abuse or personal attacks for approaching law enforcement authorities and raising concerns over remarks they find offensive. It urged the police to take appropriate action against the social media users involved in the alleged online harassment of Kamble. The Bhau Foundation said it would also pursue the matter with Meta, the parent company of social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram, seeking action over the allegedly objectionable content targeting Kamble. Santosh Pandit was arrested from his residence in Pune on September 3 in connection with a case of posting obscene and sexually suggestive content targeting Minister Patil and corporator Mitali Kuldeep Salvekar. According to the complaint, Pandit allegedly uploaded objectionable posts and videos on his YouTube account, '@SantoshPandit6278', targeting Chandrakant Patil and Mitali Salvekar.

Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has been eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15. Following his exit from the stunt-based reality show, Orry took to Instagram to reflect on his experience and open up about the struggles that often remain hidden behind his glamorous public image. Known for his appearances at parties and his pictures with Bollywood celebrities, Orry said that social media often presents only the most polished version of a persons life. Sharing several glimpses from his time on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, he wrote, We are educated to put only the shiniest, most pretty, perfectly curated moments on our feed. Everyone knows me as the boy who is always at a party, always with celebrities, always extremely opulently glamorous and has everything easy', an image of the dream life drowning in immense happiness and privilege, never a worry in sight. He went on to explain that there is more to his life than what people see online. Nobody sees beyond that the chaos, the struggle, the hustle, the hard work, the grit, and the days your head is literally locked in a box of rats. People think living a glamorous life means you've never faced hardship, but one cannot build resilience on fluff. During his stint on the show, Orry participated in several challenging stunts and pushed himself through difficult tasks. Reflecting on his determination, he said, You don't face your fears like this if your life was always easy and smooth sailing. I pushed to make it this far because I've fought through unpretty parts never meant for the feed, with nightmares fueling me to prove my grit beyond the grid, he wrote. Orry also expressed gratitude for being part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, describing the experience as an opportunity to reveal different sides of his personality. It has been an honour to participate in a 0 bias show that objectively brings out every single shade of who I actually am. The many many many shiny and sparkly parts as well as dead and damaged ones. Because that is also part of who I am. Also Read : Orry keeps Salman Khans picture beside his bed; says the superstar gave his career a much-needed kick-sta

Kashmir was Not Created by the National Conference; the Abdullah legacy is not Kashmirs history
Chief spokesperson of the National Conference and MLA Zadibal Tanvir Sadiqs recent statement is not merely ignorant; it is profoundly insulting to the dignity, memory and historical identity of Kashmiris. The backlash it has provoked across sections of Kashmir society is therefore hardly surprising. The deeper problem, however, is not one ill-considered statement by one National Conference leader. It reflects a much larger political habit: the attempt to present the history of Kashmir through the narrow prism of the Abdullah family and the National Conference, as though Kashmirs identity, culture and political consciousness began with Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. Kashmiris were elegantly, confidently and decently dressed decades before Sheikh Abdullah was born. Kashmir possessed a sophisticated social, cultural, intellectual and economic life long before the Abdullah family entered politics. Its history did not begin in 1931, and certainly did not begin with the National Conference. Yet the NC repeatedly behaves as though it possesses a proprietary right over Kashmirs history and identity. This is the real arrogance of the Abdullah legacy. It does not merely seek political power; it seeks to monopolise the narrative of Kashmir itself. It is time that this mythology was challenged. The Abdullah transformation Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah undeniably became the most consequential political figure in twentieth-century Kashmir. But historical importance does not grant immunity from historical scrutiny. The period after 1931 saw the rapid transformation of Kashmirs political landscape. Abdullah emerged as the dominant political force and ultimately constructed an extraordinary concentration of political authority around himself and his organisation. His supporters have traditionally presented this history as an uncomplicated struggle for liberation and social justice. The other side deserves to be heard. Muslim political opponents of the National Conference, including those associated with alternative religious and political currents, were not simply irrelevant reactionaries. Full integrationists, Pro-Pakistan voices, advocates of independence, left-wing critics and independent journalists represented genuine strands of political opinion within Kashmir. Many faced repression, censorship, intimidation or political exclusion. Sheikh Abdullahs administration (19471953) systematically targeted and suppressed pro-India and pro-integration voices within the Kashmir Valley itself. In the valley, anyone who advocated for complete constitutional merger with India, questioned J&K's special autonomous status under Article 370, or challenged the NC's absolute political monopoly was treated as an existential threat to the administration. This suppression inside the valley manifested through specific political, legislative, and security mechanisms. The Mirwaiz establishment and its supporters also experienced particularly bitter political confrontation with the National Conference. Downtown Srinagar became an arena of intense political contestation, while institutions associated with Abdullah's opponents were subjected to political pressure. The crucial point is this: Kashmiri Muslims did not unanimously speak through Sheikh Abdullah. Nor did Kashmiri Hindus. Nor did the National Conference represent every Kashmiri aspiration. That uncomfortable truth has too often been buried beneath decades of political hagiography. The Kashmir that existed before the Abdullahs An honest examination of Kashmirs past reveals a far more complex society than the simplistic political narratives that have dominated public discourse in recent times. Before 1931, for example, organised Hindu-Muslim communal riots were not the defining feature of everyday life in the Valley. Popular unrest was frequently driven by economic exploitation, agrarian distress, taxation, forced labour and oppressive administration. That does not mean Kashmir had no religious conflict. It certainly did. The Mughal and Afghan periods witnessed episodes of intense sectarian violence, particularly between Shia and Sunni communities, as well as state persecution of Kashmiri Pandits under particular rulers and officials. But for centuries, ordinary Kashmiris lived through extensive social and economic interdependence. Muslims and Hindus worked together, traded together and shared aspects of a remarkably rich cultural life. Even during periods of oppression, the relationship between communities was considerably more complicated than the communal binaries subsequently constructed by political movements. The horrific disturbances associated with figures such as Mahtavi Khan demonstrate another important reality: communal and sectarian violence could emerge when political authority weakened and extremist forces attempted to capture society. Such episodes should be remembered, but they should not be selectively weaponised to rewrite the entire history of Kashmir. Likewise, the overthrow of Afghan rule in 1819 cannot be understood simply as a Hindu-Muslim confrontation. Kashmiri opposition to Afghan oppression included cooperation across communities. Pandit Birbal Dhars efforts to seek Maharaja Ranjit Singhs intervention were aided by Muslim allies and local chieftains like Qadus Gojwari, Sultan Khan, the Muslim chieftain of the princely state of Bhimbar and Malik Anwar Chowdhury and the other Border Chieftains. This history of cooperation deserves as much attention as the episodes of conflict. The Pandit privilege myth Another convenient political narrative has been the portrayal of Kashmiri Pandits as one uniformly privileged community benefiting from state power. The historical reality was much more complicated. While some Pandits occupied positions in administration, the overwhelming majority of ordinary Pandits were neither wealthy nor powerful. Rural and lower-income Pandit families experienced poverty, economic stagnation and the same devastating famines and underdevelopment that afflicted ordinary Muslims. The Kashmiri Pandit Reform Association, established in the early twentieth century, itself reflected deep socio-economic and cultural concerns within the community. This matters because reducing an entire minority to the caricature of a privileged elite became politically useful. It created a convenient social target and allowed legitimate grievances to be transformed into communal resentment. The politics of exclusion Abdullahs political programme also had consequences beyond the central Valley. The Gujjars and Bakerwals, Shia communities, frontier populations, urban political opponents and sections of the traditional merchant classes had interests that did not always fit comfortably within the political model emerging from the Valleys dominant agrarian constituency. The National Conferences land reforms and social policies undoubtedly altered Kashmirs economic structure and benefited many, particularly sections of the peasantry. But acknowledging those achievements without talking about its devastating effect on the small and marginal farmers under absentee cultivators does not reflect an honest assessment of the situation. A mature historical assessment must ask who benefited, who lost influence, who was excluded and who was silenced. That assessment has remained inadequate. The real unfinished task For decades, Kashmirs political history has too often been narrated as though Sheikh Abdullah were simultaneously its protagonist, interpreter and moral authority. That needs to change. The history of Kashmir must also include those who opposed him, those who suffered under his policies, those who disagreed with the National Conference and those whose voices were marginalised by the dominant political narrative. The same applies to the Kashmiri Pandit community. Its history cannot begin with the displacement of 198990, nor can its earlier experiences be dismissed through the convenient label of privilege. Its suffering, aspirations, contributions and political experiences are integral to Kashmirs history. And Kashmirs history cannot be reduced to the Abdullah family. The National Conference may have played a major role in the political history of Jammu and Kashmir after 1931. It cannot therefore claim ownership of Kashmir itself. Kashmir existed before the National Conference. Kashmirs culture existed before Sheikh Abdullah. Kashmirs intellectual and social life existed before the Abdullah dynasty. And Kashmir will continue to exist beyond the political fortunes of the National Conference. Tanvir Sadiq and his colleagues should therefore stop lecturing Kashmiris about what Kashmir was or what Kashmiris should remember. Before attempting to define Kashmir for others, they should acknowledge the Kashmir that existed before their political movementand the many Kashmiris whose voices their political tradition has historically sought to marginalise. Kashmir belongs to its peoplenot to the Abdullah family, not to the National Conference, and certainly not to any political dynasty claiming a monopoly over its history. The time has come to dig deeper, challenge inherited political mythology and bring the other side of Kashmirs history into the light.

Environmental pollution poses a grave threat to the survival of humanity in modern times. For centuries, man has remained dependent on his surrounding environment for food, water, air, and shelter. The relationship between man and his environment is of utmost significance, characterized by a free exchange between the ecosystem and human systems. However, in recent decades, this balance has been disturbed, primarily due to the increasing wants and interests of man. Scientific success and technological advancements have made man materially prosperous but have severely damaged his most important companionthe environment. Environmental pollution is increasing with societal growth and development. While progress is essential, it should not come at the cost of life, health, and nature. It is the duty of every civilized person to keep surroundings cleannot only for human beings but also for animals, birds, plants, and trees. The Holy Quran emphasizes this balance. Allah states in Surah Ankaboot (44): Allah created the heavens and the earth in true proportions. In Surah Qamar (49), He declares: Verily, all things have been created in proportion and measure. We take pride in advances in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, energy, and industry. However, these advances have created problems of pollution, overpopulation, new diseases, imbalance of natural resources, global warming, and destruction of wildlife. The beautiful valley of Kashmir has been richly endowed with nature and environment, sustaining its people for generations. But it is an unpleasant fact that as the people of Kashmir have become more civilized, they have increasingly infested their environment. We have plundered its beauty to such an extent that we are now anxiously concerned about our own survival. The pollution we have inflicted is not confined to our surroundings, rivers, trees, and animalsit has also spread socially, politically, and morally. The unchecked progress of industrialization and consequent urbanization and modernization have stabilized our economy but at the cost of our nature. We have converted farms into shopping complexes and industries. Rice fields and orchards have been replaced by residential colonies without considering the impact on our land. Even tourist destinations like Gulmarg and Pahalgam have not been spared. Gulmarg, once world-renowned for its scenic beauty, has been turned into a hub of adventure tourism and concrete structures. It no longer retains the naked, natural environs for which it was once prominent. While we may earn money from these ventures, the crowded gatherings and encroachments are becoming sources of pollution. Modern man, full of fret and fever, seeks respite from turbulent lifewhich he could certainly find in Gulmargbut we have perhaps deprived him of this blessing. Pahalgam, with its gushing Lidder stream and picturesque meadows, was once abundant in forests, shrubs, and pure water. It is dismaying that this place is also losing its charm due to concrete structures and unnecessary amusement launches, which have now become sources of pollution. Ecologists have been warning of the total extinction of rare wild animal species in the Kashmir Himalayas, particularly around Pahalgam, unless pollution is checked. Species at risk include the Hangul, Musk Deer, Brown Bear, Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Ibex. Avian species such as the Bearded Vulture, Golden Eagle, Gurkakav, and Koklas are also in danger. We have also destroyed the environment of our lakes, particularly Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake, which once possessed absolute allure and natural charisma. For Gods sake, let politically motivated individuals act reasonably and safeguard these graceful lakes, restoring their lost charm. Unnecessary tourist infrastructure, coupled with vested political interests, has dangerously disturbed these mesmerizing water bodies. Our riversmost importantly, the Jhelum, which irrigates our fields and provides water for lifehave turned poisonous due to enormous quantities of waste, oils, and chemicals from industries and factories that flow into it. The Jhelum has lost its purity, signaling disease and death. Kashmir was once a cool place where refreshing breezes would blow. Today, we need air purifiers and disinfectants to escape atmospheric pollution. The fragrance and freshness of winter, which existed twenty years ago, have been lost. This change is the result of the devastation of our forestsour green gold. For construction, we plundered and smuggled this wealth for financial gain. We have left our forests naked, and the day is not far when we will lose the natural beauty of our land. We have hastened our own destruction, sacrificing ecological balance for so-called development. All is not lost yet. Much can be salvaged if we restrict our materialistic pursuits. We must abandon our selfishness, set aside narrow interests, and save our landbecause we are its sentinels.

Iran's IRGC says vessels entering 'restricted zone' without coordination to face sanctions
Digital Desk | Tehran, Sep 10 (IANS) Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday that if any vessel enters the estricted zone to be announced by Iran in regional waters without coordination, it will be subject to the country's sanction measures. If a vessel enters this zone without coordination (with Iran), it will be subject to our sanction measures; meaning that if it seeks to use the Strait of Hormuz in the future, it will not be able to do so, and we will also refuse to provide it with port, insurance, and other required services, IRGC Spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. He said the zone's exact coordinates will be announced in the future, adding that it will generally begin around Iran's southeastern port city of Chabahar and will include parts of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea as well as the routes that can lead to the Strait of Hormuz. He described the Strait of Hormuz as the strait of Iran's power, adding that the country will use that power to respond to the enemy's aggression and force it to stop it, Xinhua news agency reported. Also on Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the US Army's aggressive attack the night before against a number of Iranian oil tankers. Expressing the condemnation in a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said, The US military attack on Iranian commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman is considered to be in continuation of the US government's military aggression, naval blockade and economic war against Iran, and in flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. It called on the UN and the Security Council to take immediate action against the latant violations of international peace and security owing to he US aggressive actions against Iran. The US Central Command said in a Wednesday post on social media platform X that its forces had destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers on Tuesday night in response to the IRGC's targeting of a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days. The IRGC announced in separate statements early Wednesday that its forces had targeted within the preceding hours four US vessels, including two destroyers, and eight oil tankers in regional waters, as well as a US air base in Jordan in retaliatory strikes.
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) Table toppers FYERS American Gambits added to the misery of Triveni Continental Kings by inflicting yet another defeat on the two-time champions to maintain their advantage over defending champions Alpine APL Pipers at the top of the standings in the Global Chess League (GCL), here in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Pipers had temporarily taken the top spot after beating CheQ Mumba Masters 11-6 in the opening match of the day. But the Gambits ended the day ahead of the defending champions with a better Game Points score after beating the Continental Kings 8-5 with white pieces. In the days other matches, Ganges Grandmasters registered a 15-3 victory over two-time champions Triveni Continental Kings while Mumba Masters suffered a double heartbreak as they also lost 6-11 against PBG Alaskan Knights. Gambits, Alpine APL Pipers and Ganges Grandmasters have now won four matches but the Gambits have played one round more than their closest challenger. As things stands after day 5, the Gambits have 12 match points and 60 game points from seven matches, second placed Alpine APL Pipers have 58 game points from six matches while Ganges Grandmasters have 55 game points from six matches. In the last match of the day between the Gambits and Continental Kings, Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarov convincingly defeated Alireza Firouzja on the icon board with all other boards finishing in the draw. Earlier, Pipers were in total control on most boards with white pieces against the Mumba Masters. World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen played a solid game to beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in 31 moves while Anish Giri on the second board grabbed the initiative against M Pranesh on the 10th move and never let go of that advantage. Volodar Murzin then assured the Pipers their fourth win in six matches as he forced Bardiya Daneshvar to resign after 52 moves. D Harikas win over Divya Deshmukh was the only silver lining for the Mumba Masters. Ganges Grandmasters also then completed a double over Triveni Continental Kings, this time dominating the match with black pieces. When the match started, it looked like the Kings had prepared well for the white pieces and could continue their revival after a disastrous start to their campaign. But Ganges Grandmasters Polina Shuvalova, who now has five wins from six games, turned the tables on Zhu Jiner to win in 47 moves and Luke Leon Mendonca then cashed in on the error by Pranav V to win the clash on the prodigy board. Stavroula Tsolakidou then put the result beyond doubt by beating former womens world champion Alexandra Kosteniuk in a 63-move mini marathon to put the result beyond doubt. Later in the day, Mumba Masters had the chance to take the top spot by beating PBG Alaskan Knights with white pieces and they looked on course till the dying minutes of the match. But Carissa Yip, who was in a far better position, lost on time against Nino Batsiashvili and Abhimanyu Mishra put behind the heartbreak of Tuesday to beat Bardiya Daneshvar to set up the win and also pick the Player of the Match award.

Ruckus during anti-encroachment drive in Indore, six detained after protest
Digital Desk | Indore, Sep 9 (IANS) A ruckus broke out during an anti-encroachment drive in Indore's South Toda area on Wednesday after some residents opposed the demolition of alleged illegal structures, prompting police to detain six persons. The situation turned tense when a group of youths allegedly pushed Dishesh Agrawal, Additional DCP, while police personnel were attempting to control the crowd. The officer reportedly lost his balance and fell, following which police detained the accused youth along with several others. The incident took place when a large team of the Indore Municipal Corporation reached South Toda, under the Raoji Bazar police station limits, to remove encroachments along a drain and other locations. The civic body deployed more than 100 personnel, three Poclain machines, and six JCBs for the operation. More than 80 police personnel and officers were deployed to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incident. According to police, some people opposed the demolition drive and gathered at the site. Police attempted to push them back and clear the area to allow the municipal team to continue its action. During the commotion, youths allegedly shoved Agrawal from behind. Police personnel then apprehended him, while several other people were also detained. Six people were detained during the demolition drive. Further action will be taken against them as per the law, Agrawal told IANS. ACP Vijay Singh Chaudhary said the encroachments had been affecting traffic movement and causing inconvenience in the area. The Municipal Corporation carried out the anti-encroachment drive in South Toda. Several encroachments had been made along the drain and at other locations, causing major disruption to traffic and movement. Some people opposed the action, but the police brought the situation under control and detained those creating trouble, Chaudhary told IANS. The Municipal Corporation said around 50 sheds and illegal portions of six houses were removed during the drive. However, the situation was later brought under control soon after the incident, and the demolition operation continued under police security.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Mohan assert East Zone's dominance as lead swells to 584 runs
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan hit fluent half-centuries to consolidate East Zone's absolute command over South Zone, as they extended their lead to a massive 584 runs on day four of the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Kishan, who brought his match tally to a staggering 350 runs, compiled an explosive 80 off 98 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes, before missing out on a second century in the match. His departure, alongside Mohans steady 52 off 85 balls, ensured East Zone closed the day in complete control and virtually sealed the title after consecutive wins in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Earlier in the morning session, South Zone added 94 runs to their overnight total before being bowled out, leaving East Zone with a colossal 372-run first-innings lead. South Zone skipper Tilak Varma kick-started the day with consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. At the other end, CV Milind provided sturdy resistance, driving Mukesh Kumar through the covers as runs flowed freely against the new ball. However, the introduction of spin broke the resistance, ending the 78-run stand when Milind was dismissed by Mohan for 43, triggering a quick tail-end slide. Tripurana Vijay was run out while attempting a tight single, and Mohammad Siraj was trapped lbw by Mukesh Kumar. In a heartbreaking climax to the South Zones first innings, Varma mistimed a return catch to Md Kounain Quraishi and fell on 99, thus missing out on a well-deserved ninth first-class century by a single run. Despite holding a 372-run advantage, East Zone opted not to enforce the follow-on. The decision initially brought little joy to spectators as young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was stumped off Vijay for eight, while Abhimanyu Easwaran edged off Siraj to first slip. Unfazed by the early loss of both openers, Kishan and Mohan steadied the innings with a 126-run stand off 170 balls for the third wicket. Post-tea, Kishan went on an aggressive rampage, brought up his fifty, and then punished Vijay by taking 20 runs off an over with two boundaries and two sixes. Kishan eventually fell to Shreyas Gopal while attempting another big hit, but his innings pushed the lead past 500. Mohan was later trapped lbw by Shaikh Rasheed, and Sudip Gharami was run out. Kumar Kushagra (34 not out) and Quraishi (26 not out) safely negotiated the final overs with an unbroken 52-run stand. Brief scores: East Zone 708 & 212/5 in 51 overs (Ishan Kishan 80, Shikhar Mohan 52; MD Nidheesh 1-14, Mohammed Siraj 1-17) lead South Zone 336 (Tilak Varma 99; Mukesh Kumar 3-62) by 584 runs
Riteish Deshmukh recently recalled an unexpected moment of kindness involving a paparazzo outside a Mumbai restaurant. The actor shared that he had no cash with him when he wanted to buy something worth Rs 100 from a child, and a paparazzo stepped in to help. Riteish explained that he was walking out of the restaurant when he noticed a child selling something for Rs 100. Since he usually relies on digital payments, he did not have cash on him. We were walking out, and there was a child who was selling something for Rs 100. You have become so cashless today I wasnt carrying money. Now, I dont carry money because everything is digital, he said. He initially asked his chauffeur, Sau rupaye chhutta hai kya? (Do you have a change of Rs 100?), but was told there was no cash available. Riteish then asked the child whether he accepted Google Pay, assuming he might have a QR code. However, the child replied, GPay nahin hai mere paas (I dont have GPay). At that point, a paparazzo offered to pay the amount on Riteishs behalf. The actor recalled, And it was so nice of one paparazzo, whose name I didnt know, but now, I know, his name is Sushil Mohite, if Im not wrong, but if Im wrong, then Im very sorry. He said, Main deta hoon (I will give). With the situation becoming chaotic due to traffic and photographers around him, Riteish tried to get Sushils GPay details so he could return the money. However, the paparazzo declined, saying, Nahin, rehne do (No, let it go). Riteish later clicked his picture before leaving. Once inside the car, Riteish decided to use Instagram to find him. So then I just posted on my story saying, I owe him. I need to pay him back. And finally, in fact I got his number, he said. After getting in touch with Sushil, Riteish thanked him and insisted on returning the money. Reflecting on the incident, he said the gesture mattered more than the amount. It was the kindness that the pap showed where he wanted to pay for me. Its always chaotic, getting in and out on the road, and the paps are doing their job. We always think that they are probably wanting our pictures and they are in need. But we dont realise that there are moments when they step up to help you, he said. Genelia also recalled their experiences with paparazzi support, saying, And weve always had that. Always, she said. Riteish summed up the moment with a laugh: People always say that youre paying paps. I was the one who got paid by them.

J&K HC bins discharge order, says secessionist slogans alongside separatist leader attract UAPA
Srinagar, Sep 9: The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh has set aside the discharge of an accused in a UAPA case stating that secessionist sloganeering in a mob in the presence of the head of a banned separatist organisation prima facie falls under the definition of unlawful activity. A division bench headed by acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Kumar set aside the discharge of Mohammad Yousuf Lone in a 2013 UAPA case by the Additional District and Sessions Judge (Designated Special Court under NIA Act) Kupwara. The sloganeering for secession, raised by an accused leading a mob in the company of the head of a proscribed separatist organisation, coupled with incitement of the public and violence against security forces, is capable, on a prima facie appreciation, of falling squarely within this definition, the bench observed in its order. According to the case, a mob headed by Mohammad Yousuf Lone and Late Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman of the banned Hurriyat Conference, came out of Jamia Masjid in Kupwara on November 8, 2013, raised anti-national slogans against the Government of India, and pelted stones at police and security forces. The separatist leaders also allegedly instigated the general public against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Union of India, according to the chargesheet. The trial court has recorded, in a single sentence in paragraph 6 of the order impugned, that the facts 'do not fulfil the ingredients of Sections 2(o) of ULA(P) Act' without setting out the reasoning by which the specific statements or conduct attributed to the respondent in the chargesheet were tested against the statutory definition. This amounts to a bare conclusion rather than a reasoned finding, the high court said. It said the material with chargesheet -- including the recorded slogans, the leadership role attributed to the respondent, and the resultant violence -- discloses a strong suspicion sufficient to put the respondent on trial, leaving the question of whether the charges are ultimately proved to be examined at trial and not foreclosed at the threshold. It is trite that an order of discharge must reflect application of judicial mind to the material on record, and that the findings at the charge stage, though summary, cannot be conclusory. However, it is abundantly clear from perusal of the order impugned that the same does not indicate that the specific contents of the chargesheet, the statements of the witnesses to the procession, the site plan, and the material, alleged to link the respondent to the incitement and the resultant violence, were tested against the ingredients of Section 13 read with Section 2(o) of the UAPA before the conclusion of non-applicability was recorded. On this ground, the order impugned is unsustainable and calls for interference, it added. The court said it is neither making any definitive finding on the guilt or innocence of the respondent, nor expressing any opinion on the ultimate merits of the case. However, when specific material is brought on record that, on the face of it, discloses the commission of an offence and the complicity of the respondent, the trial court cannot act as a mute spectator and shut the doors of trial without assigning valid legal reasons, it added. Allowing the criminal appeal filed by the state, the high court directed that the chargesheet be restored and the trial court proceed with the framing of charge against the respondent afresh after considering the material placed on record by the appellant.

One comment read, What a model of a couple. Another fan wrote, Them in their retro era. A third social media user compared the pair with one of Bollywood's popular on-screen pairings, writing, They look like Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. Kiara and Sidharth have remained one of Bollywood's much-followed celebrity couples since their relationship became a topic of public interest. The two reportedly grew close while working together on Shershaah in 2021. Although they largely kept their relationship away from the spotlight, their chemistry during the film's promotions led to widespread dating rumours. After years of speculation, the couple got married in an intimate ceremony in Jaisalmer in February 2023. They later celebrated their wedding with family and friends in Delhi and Mumbai. Since then, they have mostly maintained a private approach to their personal lives while occasionally sharing moments with their fans. In 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Saraayah. On the work front, Kiara was last seen in Geetu Mohandas' Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, which also starred Yash, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara and Rukmini Vasanth.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 9 (IANS) As his song Dance With You turned 23, British singer Jay Sean looked back on the journey of his iconic track and spoke about how he, Rishi Rich and Juggy D walked into a studio with no idea that their music would go on to resonate with South Asians across the world. Jay took to Instagram and shared a glimpse of the track, which also appeared in the 2003 film Boom, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Jackky Shroff, Zeenat Aman, and Padma Lakshmi, to name a few. 23 years ago, the three of us walked into a studio and made a song with no idea where it might lead. There was no strategy, no overthinking, just pure vibes. We were just enjoying making the music that felt natural to us - bringing together the sounds and cultures that had shaped who we were, she wrote in the caption. Dance With You went on to become so much to so many. Even tho it marked the beginning of my career, and in so many ways, the beginning of a life I could only dream of- what means even more to me today is what it became for other people, he wrote. The singer, whose real name is Kamaljit Singh Jhooti, added: To see something we created so instinctively connect with, particularly, South Asians around the world and become part of peoples memories and help shape a sound and a space for our community in music was something none of us could have predicted. Thats the incredible power of music, he stressed. You create something from a feeling, you release it into the world, and from that moment on it no longer belongs only to you. More than two decades later, I look back at this song with nothing but gratitude. For the doors it opened, the lives it changed, the people it reached and the journey it started. He went on to heap praise on his brothers Rishi Rich and Juggy D, who worked with him on this song. To my brother @rishirich you are a visionary. @therealjuggyd so many great memories we all get to have. What a time. 23 yrs later, the journey and the music continues
