'If Rohit-Virat Stay, There Is A 90% Chance Of Winning World Cup': Raina
If Rohit Sharma: Suresh Raina believes India will have a 90 percent chance of winning the 2027 ODI World Cup if veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli remain part of the team for the marquee tournament in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Rainas comments came after former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh called for consistency in Indias ODI setup and urged the team management to avoid making too many changes ahead of next years World Cup. Speaking about Yuvrajs advice, Raina backed the experience of Rohit and Kohli and highlighted their record of winning major trophies for India and in the IPL. Absolutely, I think we have the gun player; we have a gun machine at home. We have the best captains who won a lot of trophies in IPL as well as for the country, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Virat, we dont need any introduction because they are different player. I think I have played a lot of matches with them, Raina told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Delhi. Virat wants it. I think this time we are playing the World Cup in South Africa and Zimbabwe. I think if both of them stay, there is a 90% chance of winning the World Cup, he added. Raina also referred to Indias defeat to Australia in the 2003 World Cup final, saying the team would have added motivation when it returns to South Africa for the 2027 edition. Especially when we lost in South Africa in 2003, we have to take revenge for that as well, Raina said. Yuvraj had earlier stressed the importance of giving a settled group enough game time before the World Cup, with India having limited ODI fixtures between now and the tournament. They need to focus on building the same team to play in a years time, because you dont want to make big changes at the last moment, Yuvraj told Cricinfo. Whoever your players are, whether they are 16 or 20, its important that everybody gets game time because obviously now there are more T20s and fewer 50-over cricket matches. Whatever matches there are, its important that players get enough game time to prepare for the World Cup, he added. They need to focus on building the same team to play in a years time, because you dont want to make big changes at the last moment, Yuvraj told Cricinfo.

Punjab Police asks personnel to avoid uniform while commuting after ASI's killing
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 22 (IANS) Punjab Police issued a security advisory directing police personnel to avoid travelling in uniform while commuting between their homes and places of duty, following the recent killing of Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Harjit Singh in Amritsar. In the wake of the incident, and keeping in view the safety of police personnel posted in districts along the Pakistan border, the Inspector General (IG), Border Range, has issued an advisory to police personnel. The IG Border Range has written to the Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) of Amritsar Rural, Batala, Gurdaspur and Pathankot, directing them to implement measures aimed at enhancing the security of police employees while they travel to and from their places of duty. According to the advisory, police personnel have been instructed to wear plain clothes while travelling from their homes to their places of duty and while returning home after completing their duties. They have specifically been advised to avoid wearing their police uniforms during such journeys. The advisory further states that while undertaking personal travel, police personnel should neither carry nor display any sign, symbol or other item that could reveal their identity as members of the police force. The letter also emphasises that all prescribed security protocols should be strictly followed by police personnel during private travel, with officers being advised to remain particularly cautious about their identity and personal safety. ASI Harjit Singh was killed while performing his duty on September 18. Following the incident, police teams launched efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for the killing. A high alert was subsequently sounded across Amritsar and adjoining areas, with police intensifying checks at toll plazas and other key points as teams continued to search for the suspects. Police later received specific information that the suspects were moving in the area and could potentially be looking for another target, prompting security teams to intensify their efforts to track them down. One of the accused in the murder case of Punjab Police ASI Harjit Singh was killed in an encounter on September 19. Punjab Police Commissioner Harmanveer Singh Gill said that while one of the main accused was killed during the encounter, his accomplice managed to escape under the cover of darkness. Commissioner Gill also stated that the murder was part of a conspiracy involving Pakistan-based handlers. According to him, the youths were lured with promises of money and a share in the illegal drug trade. The handlers demanded proof of loyalty by targeting police personnel. Investigators also found that after shooting ASI Harjit Singh, the accused allegedly returned to the crime scene and recorded a 3040 second video to send to their overseas handlers as proof that the task had been completed. The act was reportedly captured on CCTV, while forensic examination of mobile phones is underway. Commissioner Gill appealed to parents to closely monitor their childrens activities and protect them from being exploited through social media, drugs and criminal networks.

Fight against drugs must be peoples movement: Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Fazilka, Sep 21 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said Punjab was once known for its prosperity, vibrancy and hardworking youth. Still, today the drug menace has emerged as a major challenge to the future of its young generation. He stressed that turning the campaign against drugs into a peoples movement is the need of the hour. Addressing a gathering after joining the fourth phase of the Nasha Mukti Yatra in Fazilka, Saini said the fight against drugs is not a political party's fight, but a fight to save the youth and future generations. He said the Yatra, which began on September 18, will continue till September 30 and cover around 4,000 km across all 117 Assembly constituencies of Punjab. Saini added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is fighting the drug menace with determination and every section of society should ensure its participation in this campaign. Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party government, he said it had promised to eradicate drugs within six months. Still, the problem remains serious even as the government enters the final phase of its tenure. He also said the government had not fulfilled its promises to employ youth. Saini recalled that when industrialists from Punjab met him at his residence in Chandigarh and expressed their desire to set up industries in Haryana, he advised them to establish industries in Punjab itself to provide employment opportunities to the youth there. He claimed that the people of Punjab had made up their minds for change and that the coming time would belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Highlighting Haryanas governance, Saini said the state government has provided jobs to youth through a transparent system. He added that he meets many people at his residence daily and works to resolve their problems. He said the Haryana Government has fulfilled 70 of the 217 commitments made before the elections and has advanced several schemes for the welfare of women, farmers, people with low incomes and youth. He emphasised that the fight against drugs cannot be confined to law enforcement alone. Treatment, rehabilitation, sports and employment opportunities must also be taken forward simultaneously. He said Haryana is providing free treatment facilities at de-addiction centres, while special emphasis is being laid on connecting youth with sports and other positive activities.

ED arrests middleman for collecting bribes for suspended Punjab Police DIG Bhullar
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) The ED arrested a middleman who allegedly collected bribes on behalf of suspended Punjab Police Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Harcharan Singh Bhullar, an official said on Monday. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Chandigarh Zonal Office-I, arrested Kirshanu Sharda on September 18 under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the ED said. The ED said Sharda was taken into custody in connection with a money laundering investigation involving Bhullar. The Special Court (PMLA), Chandigarh, granted the ED custody of Sharda for seven days, an official statement said. The ED said the investigation was based on FIRs registered by CBI, ACB, Chandigarh against Bhullar, Sharda and others under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The investigation into the predicate offence prima facie established that Bhullar, a public servant and the prime accused, operated through Sharda, who acted as his conduit/middleman to demand and accept illegal gratification, the ED said. In one instance, the ED said, Rs 8 lakh in illegal gratification was demanded from the complainant, of which Rs 5 lakh was accepted through Sharda, allegedly to settle a criminal case and allow the complainant to continue his scrap business without police interference. Investigation revealed that Sharda facilitated the receipt and movement of funds on behalf of Bhullar, it said. Searches conducted under Section 17 of the PMLA resulted in the seizure of cash amounting to Rs 8.35 lakh and freezing of bank and post-office accounts and investments having a cumulative balance of Rs 1.42 crore, the ED said. Scrutiny of financial records and seized digital devices has revealed unexplained cash deposits, investments and transactions, including transactions with Bhullar, as well as prima facie indications of the involvement of other public servants, the ED said. The Central probe agency said that it is tracing the complete money trail and probing the involvement of other persons/entities in similar activities and in the generation, movement, concealment and utilisation of proceeds of crime.
