Bengaluru FC, Chennaiyin FC Ready To Ignite High-stakes Battle Of The South
Indian Super League: Two former winners, Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC, will renew their rivalry in the Southern Derby when they meet in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. The hosts enter the derby riding high after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sporting Club Delhi, while Chennaiyin head to the fortress following a gritty 1-1 away draw against FC Goa. Bengaluru, who won the title in the 2018-19 season, showed attacking threat and resilience in their opener. Borja Martnez scored twice, including a 75th-minute equaliser, before Menno Koch headed home the winner in the 89th minute. However, conceding twice has given head coach Pep Muoz areas to address. We have to be stronger in duels, Muoz said, reflecting on the opening game. He acknowledged that Delhi had found ways to trouble his side and stressed the need to improve defensively. He also described Chennaiyin as an intense, direct team with dangerous forwards. Muoz highlighted the depth of his squad, saying: You look at the bench. You have a lot of options, offensive options, defensive options, players that can change the game. Bengaluru will look to maintain their second-half momentum while tightening up at the back. Head coach Clifford Miranda has stressed the need to limit Bengalurus attacking space. We have to defend in a way that doesn't allow them much space. In the end, the most important thing is to stay compact and not give the opposition space and time, Miranda said on the eve of the match. Chennaiyin FC, the two-time ISL winners in 2015 and 2017-18, will aim to combine defensive discipline with greater efficiency in attack. The fixture carries a rich history. Chennaiyin defeated Bengaluru 3-2 in the 2017-18 ISL final at the Kanteerava, while Bengaluru claimed a 2-1 away win in the sides final meeting last season through Serto Worneilen Koms 89th-minute strike. Chennaiyin defender Namgyal Bhutia will also face his former club.

West Indies: India and West Indies fans hoping to watch another run feast in this high-scoring T20I series may have to curb their expectations, as rain threatens the fifth and final T20I between the two sides at the M.

The downpours are expected to continue over the next few days, and the same is the case for Saturday, the match day for the fifth contest.

5th T20I: India Look To Keep Home Pride Intact As Rainy Bengaluru Awaits (Preview)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India will be looking to keep their long unbeaten record at home intact as the reigning two-time champions face former double T20 winners West Indies in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, with rain around. The high-scoring feast series has seen 220-plus totals vulnerable. The Windies have chased 250, defended 247 by 24 runs and came close to the 224-run target in three of these four contests. The series has tested bowlers left, right and centre and India's bowling has been under the scanner. What will be the life after Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya? The answer remains unsolved as of now. A near full-strength Indian team, sans Bumrah, Hardik and Washington Sundar, has been put to the test. Shai Hope is having one of the most successful series from a visiting player in India. He has already hit four centuries on the tour - two in ODIs and two in T20Is - and has been the difference between the two sides almost on ebery occasion. Whenever he has gone unbeaten, the Windies have won those three games on this white-ball tour. He has hit 539 runs in five games and with another possible run feast awaiting in Bengaluru, Hope will hope to flex his muscles once more. If the Windies manage to win this game too, they will become the first team to beat India in India in a T20I series since they lost to Australia 0-2 in February 2019. Meanwhile, India have been bolstered by the addition of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose IPL home stadium is the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He has been added as injury cover for Arshdeep Singh, who was hit on his bowling arm while batting in the last over of the previous match in Hyderabad, where India came close to chasing 248. Bhuvi was earlier added to India's T20I squad for the five-match series in New Zealand. India would also look to Sanju Samson, who has scored two half-centuries in this series. Abhishek Sharma has looked solid in the third T20I but had a rare struggle in the fourth match when he made 29 from 24 balls. There is a possible threat of rain intervening in this clash, with showers predicted. If not for the rain showers, sixes raining are almost on the cards, and India would want to lead in the number of maximums if they have to keep their home record intact. When: October 17, 7:00 PM Where: M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Star Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the JioHotstar app and website. Squads India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar Squads Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Student dies after jumping from 6th floor in B'luru's GITAM University; police probe underway
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 16 (IANS) A 20-year-old BTech student died after allegedly suspiciously jumping from the sixth floor of a building at GITAM University in Nagadevanahalli village in Bengaluru Rural district, police said on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Varshitha, a native of Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh. She had reportedly been staying in the university hostel for the past six years and had been pursuing the B.Tech course for the last three years. According to preliminary information, Varshitha allegedly went to the sixth floor of the building and jumped from there on Thursday night. Although depression is suspected to have been a possible reason for her death, several questions have arisen over the circumstances surrounding the incident. Doddaballapur Rural police rushed to the spot and launched an investigation. Considering the seriousness of the case, the Superintendent of Police also visited the spot. The police inspected Varshitha's hostel room and took her mobile phone into custody as part of the investigation. Her parents have been informed about the incident and are on their way to the spot. Bengaluru Rural SP Chandrakanth M.V. said there were reports that Varshitha had a medical history, which would be verified as part of the investigation. The police are examining the circumstances leading to her death and will take appropriate legal action based on the findings, the officer said. It can be recalled that a 20-year-old computer science and engineering student studying at GITAM University allegedly jumped to death from the 13th floor of the hostel building at Nagadevanahalli, Doddaballapur, on February 18. The deceased was identified as Nayana S.V., a native of Sarjapura in Bengaluru Rural, and the daughter of a farmer. Based on the preliminary probe, police said Nayana made a video on her phone apologising to her parents before taking the extreme step. No death note was found with her or in the hostel room. The police stated that the girl's family members were also clueless about the motive. It can also be recalled that a 24-year-old final year engineering student from Uganda died after falling from the 6th floor of the hostel campus of GITAM University. Police had to resort to a lathi charge to disperse the students who were protesting. The victim was identified as Haseena. The incident happened in April 2022. She is alleged to have slipped and fallen while trying to pick up a piece of cloth that had fallen on the asbestos roof of the neighbouring building. From the 6th floor, she fell on the first floor. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where the doctors declared her brought dead.

Protests don't hurt businesses, govt restrictions do: CJP's Abhijit Dipke
Businesses do not suffer because of peaceful protests but when the government shuts down an entire city, suspends internet and restricts citizens' movement, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke said on Friday. In a post on X, Dipke defended the party's commitment to peace and non-violence ahead of its proposed 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march at Central Park in Connaught Place. The CJP had organised protests in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru and Nagpur, and all of them were peaceful, he said. Dipke said he was personally assaulted in Jaipur but chose not to retaliate, since responding to violence with violence went against the movement's principles. We would rather exercise the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution, drafted under the leadership of Dr B R Ambedkar, than resort to physical force, he said. Rejecting attempts to portray CJP members as anarchists, Dipke said demanding answers from the government, protesting against injustice and questioning publi

B'luru court sentences ex-excise official to 5 years in money laundering case; daughter gets 3 years
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 16 (IANS) A Special Court in Bengaluru has sentenced retired Excise Guard and in-charge Sub-Inspector M. Ramachandra to five years of rigorous imprisonment and his daughter, R. Yurekha, to three years in a money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court also ordered the confiscation of five immovable properties to the Central government, the official statement said on Friday. The verdict was pronounced on October 14 by the Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge and Special Judge for CBI Cases, Bengaluru (CCH-48), in Special Criminal Case No. 357/2016, registered by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bengaluru Zonal Office. The court imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on Ramachandra and Rs 3 lakh on Yurekha. It ordered the confiscation of five properties under Section 8(5) of the PMLA. Observing that the offence affected society at large, the court did not order separate compensation. The case originated in a disproportionate assets investigation by the Karnataka Lokayukta Police. An FIR was registered on July 7, 2009, under Sections 13(1)(e) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The check period covered July 1, 1977, to July 8, 2009. The ED registered an Enforcement Case Information Report on October 26, 2009, and initiated a money laundering investigation. In March 2016, it provisionally attached eight properties valued at about Rs 1.09 crore. It filed its prosecution complaint in June 2016, leading to PMLA proceedings. The conviction follows an earlier judgment in the underlying corruption case. On November 8, 2024, the trial court in Special Criminal Case convicted Ramachandra under the Prevention of Corruption Act, sentencing him to three years of rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs 50 lakh. His disproportionate assets were assessed at Rs 42,48,188.50, reported in the case record as 97.75 per cent of his known income. The ED's investigation found that Ramachandra had misused his position in the Excise Department to accumulate assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The investigation traced unexplained cash deposits in bank accounts held by him and his family members, as well as deposits into Kwality Wine Centre, a liquor business owned by Yurekha. According to the investigation, cash deposits at the liquor shop rose from Rs 70,000 in 2001-02 to Rs 83.9 lakh in 2008-09. The funds were allegedly used to acquire immovable properties. The investigation also found that Ramachandra had used his official position to facilitate a liquor licence in his daughter's name. The licence was transferred to Yurekha in 2001, when she was still in college. A fee of Rs 4.5 lakh and rent of Rs 50,000 were reportedly paid, with the rent said to have been paid by her grandmother. However, no supporting records were found. Yurekha declared the liquor shop's income in her income tax returns, presenting the funds as business earnings. She purchased land in Hunsur in 2007. The court treated this land as proceeds of crime in light of the finding in the underlying corruption case that Ramachandra had funded the liquor licence. However, a site in Bengaluru's Yelahanka locality, purchased using the liquor shop's income, was excluded from the properties ordered to be confiscated. The court held that the prosecution had proved the money laundering charges against both accused under Sections 3 and 4 of the PMLA. It applied the presumption under Section 24 of the Act, finding that the accused had failed to rebut it with evidence. Their explanations about the sources of funds used to acquire properties were unsupported by documents. These included claims that their mother had financed construction in Vijayanagar and that Sharada had purchased certain sites. Yurekha was found to have knowingly assisted in holding property acquired with the proceeds of crime in her name. While deciding sentences, the court considered the offence a white-collar economic crime with significant social impact. It also took into account Ramachandra's age of around 72 and Yurekha's family circumstances as mitigating factors before imposing the sentences. The court ordered five immovable properties to be confiscated under Section 8(5) of the PMLA.

India T20I: India's other fast bowlers have not done enough to keep a veteran pacer like Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of the T20I side, former India opener WV Raman said on Thursday, while calling on the bowling coach to put in extra time for the development of young pacers. Bhuvneshwar earned his India T20I recall after a gap of four years on the back of a sensational IPL 2026 campaign, where he spearheaded Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful title defence with a 28-wicket haul. He finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026 and missed the Purple Cap to Kagiso Rabada by just a solitary scalp. Bhuvneshwars last appearance in international cricket came during a T20I in New Zealand in November 2022. In 87 T20Is for India, Bhuvneshwar has bagged 90 wickets at an average of 23.10 while maintaining an impressive economy rate of 6.96. See, on the one hand, you would obviously admire Bhuvneshwar Kumar for putting up performances and just pushing his way back into the side. But the other side of the coin is that it does give you a little bit to think about, isn't it? Because here is one guy who's deemed done and dusted for a while and then suddenly he makes a strong comeback, and that's obviously something that you would admire. But it also goes to show that the others have not really done enough to try and keep somebody like Bhuvi out, who has not been firing regularly. So the other fact of the matter is that the bowlers, yes, it's easy to say that they've been leaking runs, but they've been playing on plump batting tracks. But what I would like to see happen is that if the word transition is being used, then it is incumbent on the fast bowling coach to spend some time with the bowlers when they're not playing cricket and try and work with them, Raman told reporters in a select virtual interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network on Thursday. Raman added that India had no shortage of raw pace, but the talent needed sustained attention away from the match calendar. It's very critical if you're talking about young fast bowlers who have the raw pace, who have the talent, they need to be really worked upon. That is where the bowling coach needs to spend a lot more time with the boys to ensure that they are well prepared when they get to play international cricket. As I can understand, there's a lot of cricket played these days. There's a lot of time these coaches spend on the road. But still, I think extra time needs to be spent by the fast bowling coach because you do have a lot of quick guys. There's no doubt about that. But we've seen all of them play in rotation and then go for runs, which means that there's something that needs to be done with them. This is where, as I said, some extra work needs to be done on these promising fast bowlers. Looking ahead to the two-game Test series in New Zealand, which carries crucial World Test Championship (WTC) points, Raman felt the Test team needs to learn from getting its combination wrong at home. See, we are talking about different things altogether. In England (where India drew 2-2), if you looked at it, the pitches were different. It was a very, very hot summer in England. It is more or less like what they normally call an Indian summer. So there's not much swing or seam movement, and also their attack was probably not the best. This is not taking away the credit from our batters who got runs there. That's not the issue here. The fact of the matter is that in India, what happened was that we were not picking the right combination, and what happened was that we did not get the combination right. So it is perhaps something that may not be repeated, that will not be repeated because the team management has learned its lessons from that. With India still in the race for entering the WTC final, Raman called for the selection of a bowling attack capable of taking 20 wickets rather than a batting-heavy playing eleven. But New Zealand, quite obviously, what I would like to see personally is that they resort to playing specialists in terms of cricket because that's what is going to help you. I would also like to have them have a bowling attack which can get the side 20 wickets because that's what is going to win matches. India has to win matches to keep their chances of playing the WTC final alive. So they need to have the bowling resources to bowl the opponents out twice. The logic here is that even if you are a few runs short, if you have enough bowling resources to bowl the opponents out, you would still have the fizz, you would still have the enthusiasm, you would still feel that you have a chance to put it past the opponent. So that's the reason you need to have enough bowling resources. In case you pick a batting-heavy eleven, if you are short on bowling, then if you are a few runs short, there's no way you can end up winning a Test match unless the conditions are extremely helpful for the bowlers that are playing in the eleven. Raman also felt Hardik Pandya's absence is being sorely felt, with injuries derailing the search for another seam-bowling all-rounder. See, the absence of Hardik Pandya is definitely hurting the team a lot because he is such a useful cricketer, and a good all-rounder like him is needed. When he is there in the setup, it gives you that extraordinary flexibility and you obviously are well stacked up. You can win your matches either way with a good spell or with kind of a cameo or even a good knock, for that matter. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find others even though we have been providing a lot of opportunities. It's just that injuries are playing a major part here as well. Nitish Kumar Reddy was identified as an all-rounder; then we also looked at Washington Sundar briefly, and then we have Shivam Dube. It's just that things are not somehow clicking. We have been trying and giving the opportunities to cricketers to try and work out things and emerge as all-rounders or perform in different departments of the game. But if it's not working, nobody is to be blamed, and you can't call anybody a failure in this. At best, you can try to use the options you have. Other options: if you don't have the options, what do you do? Whatever options have been there, whoever has shown some promise of being capable of becoming multi-dimensional cricketers. They have been given the opportunities; they have been kept in the loop; they have been kept in the scheme of things. Maybe we have to see if the injuries somehow stop happening, and that's something that has also been plaguing the system quite a lot, and it's very difficult to really pinpoint where the problem is unless you are entirely aware of the total dynamics that are in place now, he explained. On teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi being kept on the bench despite being in the T20I squad, Raman backed the team management's approach. See, let's not use terms like fast-tracking or protected. We have to try and provide a solid foundation in terms of preparation, and get him ready so that once he gets in, there is no turning back. That's something that we have to try and do for a young cricketer. That's the best way to try and encourage a young talented cricketer. As far as Vaibhav is concerned, yes, there are a lot of people who want to see him play. Everybody wants to see him play. There's no doubt about it. But again, if the idea is to keep him in the squad for him to fast-track his learning, then I think they're doing the right thing. If they're doing that and if there's a purpose behind it, I'm sure there will be; I think that's the best thing they can do for him. Keep him there about six to nine months and then let him loose, and there's hopefully no turning back for that young man. Raman, who also served as India's former women's head coach, also weighed in on Smriti Mandhana taking over as the all-format captain of the women's team from Harmanpreet Kaur, with her reign set to begin from the T20Is against Zimbabwe in Raipur on Friday. It's very difficult to say what is the right time for somebody to take up captaincy. Let's not forget that Harmanpreet Kaur has done well as a captain. She has created history by winning the World Cup, and maybe people started debating about her continuing as captain after the ordinary campaign in the T20 World Cup. These things keep happening in cricket. Let's not forget even Kapil Dev when he created history in 1983 by winning the World Cup; he was stripped of his captaincy six months later. So it's all a question of how situations are. But here we obviously have to realise that Harmanpreet Kaur has been around for a while. She's done extraordinarily well as a captain, and it was getting a little difficult because there was some talk about whether Smriti ever led India or whether Harmanpreet continues. But now that we've seen the transition or the change happen, we have to obviously hope that the Indian team will go from strength to strength a year on because Harmanpreet has handed over a good side which is playing aggressively, and confidently, and the biggest challenge for Smriti Mandhana will be to try and not only sustain that aggression and the fearlessness, but also raise the bar with each passing season. But here we obviously have to realise that Harmanpreet Kaur has been around for a while. She's done extraordinarily well as a captain, and it was getting a little difficult because there was some talk about whether Smriti ever led India or whether Harmanpreet continues.

Ktaka govt to move SC against HC verdict on SC/ST quota hike
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara on Thursday said the state government would file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court verdict quashing the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. He also said the government was preparing a final memorandum on drought losses and plans to take an all-party delegation to the Centre to seek relief. Responding to questions on the sting video controversy, he clarified that the issue was not discussed at the Cabinet meeting and no decision was taken on an investigation. Speaking to the media outside Vidhana Soudha after the Cabinet meeting, Parameshwara said the final memorandum was expected to be ready within the next one or two days. Earlier, 217 taluks had been declared drought-hit. With the addition of nine more taluks, the total has increased to 226, he said. The drought situation in the remaining taluks is being assessed. Taluks that meet the eligibility criteria under Trigger-1 will undergo a ground-truthing exercise. If they are found eligible following the assessment, additional taluks will be included in the drought-hit list. Otherwise, the existing list of 226 taluks will remain final, he clarified. Parameshwara said Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had instructed the government to take an all-party delegation to the Centre to submit the final memorandum. Although opposition parties had already expressed their unwillingness to participate in the delegation, the government would contact them again and request their participation, he said. If they agree to participate, it would be good. Otherwise, the Chief Minister, I and a few ministers will visit Delhi and seek appointments with the concerned Union Ministers and the Prime Minister, Parameshwara said. The delegation would explain the severity of the drought in Karnataka, highlight the need for relief and submit the final memorandum to the Centre, he added. The state has estimated drought-related losses at around Rs 46,000 crore so far. Preliminary estimates suggest that the total losses could reach Rs 60,000 crore to Rs 70,000 crore after the final assessment, Parameshwara said. However, the state cannot seek compensation from the Centre for the entire estimated loss. The amount eligible for relief must be calculated separately in accordance with the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) guidelines, he explained. Last year, despite estimated losses of around Rs 49,000 crore, the state had sought approximately Rs 18,000 crore in relief from the Centre under the NDRF guidelines. Similarly, if the losses this year reach around Rs 60,000 crore, the state may seek relief of approximately Rs 18,000 crore to Rs 20,000 crore, depending on the applicable guidelines, he said. Parameshwara clarified that these were preliminary estimates and that the final amount would be determined only after completing the assessment of losses and calculations under the NDRF guidelines. Parameshwara also said the state government had decided to challenge the High Court verdict quashing the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes before the Supreme Court. A decision had been taken to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court, he said. Further legal and administrative measures would be discussed by the Political Affairs Committee. The possibility of including the reservation provisions under the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution would also be discussed before deciding on the next course of action, he added. Responding to a question about a probe by investigative agencies into the sting video controversy, Parameshwara said the matter had not been discussed at the Cabinet meeting. No discussion took place on this issue during the Cabinet meeting, and no decision was taken regarding an investigation, he said.
Ktaka govt launches special food safety drive during festive season
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) The Karnataka Food Safety and Drugs Administration has launched a special inspection drive across the state from October 15 to 17 to ensure the availability of safe and quality sweets during the upcoming festive season. The drive, conducted on the directions of Health and Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has covered 80 sweet manufacturing and sales establishments, with notices issued to 10 units for alleged violations of food safety standards. According to a press release issued by the Commissioner of Food Safety and Drugs Administration, a total of 125 food samples were collected during the inspections and sent to the respective government food laboratories for analysis. The samples will be examined to assess their quality and determine whether they comply with the prescribed food safety standards. During the inspections, officials identified several irregularities at sweet manufacturing and sales establishments. The preparation and storage areas of some units were found to be maintained under unhygienic conditions, raising concerns over the safety and quality of the food products being prepared and sold to consumers. Officials also found that food handlers at certain establishments did not possess medical certificates. In addition, some food business operators had not obtained the mandatory licences or registrations required under the food safety regulations. Following these findings, the department issued notices to 10 sweet manufacturing units and food business operators. Further legal action will be initiated against those found violating the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the relevant rules and regulations, the department stated. As part of the statewide exercise, Designated Officers and Food Safety Officers have been directed to inspect sweet manufacturing units and sales establishments within their respective district jurisdictions between October 15 and 17. The department said the special drive was aimed at ensuring that consumers have access to safe and quality sweets during the festive period, when demand for such products typically increases. Inspections would continue against establishments violating food safety and quality standards. The department warned that stringent legal action would be taken against violators in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
