Uttarakhand secure bonus point win vs Assam, join Bengal in QF
Dehradun, Feb 1: Uttarakhand thrashed Assam by an innings and 42 runs to clinch a bonus-point victory in their final league match here on Sunday and join Group C table-toppers Bengal in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals. Bengal (36 points) had already secured their knockout berth and stayed unbeaten in the group, completing a commanding 188-run []
Ranji Trophy: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir Qualify For Quarter-finals
IS Bindra Stadium: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir sealed their places in the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals after getting favourable results on the last day of their seventh round league matches. At the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Karnataka captain Devdutt Padikkal smashed an unbeaten 120 off 85 balls to steer his side to a stunning chase of 250 in just 27.5 overs against Punjab and clinch the last quarter-final spot. The left-hander, elevated to captaincy after Karnataka suffered a heavy defeat to Madhya Pradesh in the last game, aced the chase with a commanding knock and was supported by Mayank Agarwals brisk 53 off 36 balls. Saurashtra, who had beaten Chandigarh by an innings and 56 runs, looked set to hold the last quarter-final berth from Elite Group B after Madhya Pradesh sealed their spot. But their hopes hinged on Karnataka failing to win in Mohali. Padikkals emphatic knock ensured otherwise happened. Karnatakas bowlers had earlier restricted Punjab to 256 in the second innings, but the effort took 101 overs, leaving time a factor. Padikkal responded with urgency, racing to his first fifty in 42 balls and his second in just 32 deliveries, before sealing victory by hitting the winning runs. In terms of Elite Group A, Jharkhand, Andhra and Vidarbha were locked on 31 points at the top of Group A. But bonus point wins separated them, Jharkhand advancing with three, Andhra with two, while defending champions Vidarbha bowed out with only one against their name. Though Vidarbha beat Uttar Pradesh in Nagpur, they will miss the knockouts by a whisker and that means a new Ranji Trophy champion will be crowned this season. Vidarbha will be ruing the loss they had at the hands of Andhra, which ultimately proved to cause their downfall. In terms of Elite Group C, after Bengal beat Haryana to become table-toppers and enter the knockouts in Rohtak, Uttarakhand followed them into the quarter-finals after beating Assam by an innings and 42 runs. Mayank Mishra picked up 6-86 as Uttarakhand bowled out Assam for 278 after forcing them to follow-on. Captain Kunal Chandela's double-century in the first innings handed Uttarakhand the initiative early and they never let go of it in a dominating clash in Dehradun. In Elite Group D, with Mumbai forced to draw against Delhi, thanks to visitors skipper Ayush Doseja making an unbeaten 159, Jammu and Kashmir marked their progression into the knockouts as the second best side. J&K had taken a massive lead of 603 runs in the first innings against Himachal Pradesh, who were bowled out for 168 in the first innings and were in trouble at 26/2 in their second essay. But due to overnight rain, no play was possible on day four at the Amtar cricket ground in Nadaun.

Ranji Trophy: Saurashtra Secure Huge Win Over Chandigarh, Bengal Beat Haryana
Ranji Trophy Elite Group: Saurashtra defeated Chandigarh by an innings and 56 runs in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B league match at the Cricket Stadium, Sector 16, on Saturday. With this win, Saurashtra pocketed seven points and strengthened their position in the group standings. Resuming their second innings at the overnight score of 31 for no loss on day three, Chandigarh were bowled out for 261 in 64 overs. Pace-bowling all-rounder Rajangad Bawa top-scored with 55, while Shivam Bhambri (48) and Vaibhav Narang (47) chipped in with useful contributions. For Saurashtra, Chirag Jani was the most successful bowler, returning figures of 4-78 in 13 overs. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja also picked four wickets while conceding 53 runs in 12 overs. Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya chipped in with a wicket apiece. Earlier, Saurashtra had taken a commanding lead in the first innings, which proved to be decisive. Wicketkeeper-batter Harvik Desai, who played a crucial role in the teams dominance by hitting a dominating double century, was adjudged Player of the Match. The victory has lifted Saurashtra to the top of Group B temporarily with 7 points, though they may slip to second once the Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh game concludes in Indore. Karnataka, meanwhile, still have a chance to overtake them if they secure an outright win against Punjab, though fog interruption in Mohali has complicated the matter. In a Group C fixture at the Chaudhary Bansi Lal Stadium in Lahli, Bengal registered a comprehensive 188-run win over Haryana to qualify for the quarterfinals as an unbeaten side and table toppers. The victory has lifted Saurashtra to the top of Group B temporarily with 7 points, though they may slip to second once the Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh game concludes in Indore.

PIL in SC seeking action against racial violence targeting northeastern citizens
NEW DELHI: A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court seeking judicial intervention to address the continuing constitutional failure to prevent and respond to racial discrimination and violence against citizens from northeastern states and other frontier regions. The PIL was filed on December 28 in the backdrop of the brutal killing of Anjel Chakma , a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, who succumbed on December 27 to grievous injuries sustained in a racially motivated attack in Selaqui area of Dehradun. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. The family members of Chakma want capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anoop Prakash Awasthi, a Delhi-based lawyer, has made the Centre and all the states and Union territories as parties to the PIL. That the present writ petition is being filed seeking issuance of writ under Article 32 of the Constitution seeking issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus, order, direction or any other appropriate writ for the violation of fundamental rights as under article 14, 19 (1) a & (g) and 21, and thus seeking judicial intervention to address the issue of racial discrimination and violence against Indian citizens from the north-eastern states and other frontier regions of India, the plea said. We are Indians. What certificate should we show to prove that? words that tragically became the last recorded assertion of Anjel Chakma about his constitutional belonging before the confrontation escalated into brutal violence, it said while recounting the offence leading to his death. The plea referred to media reports about Chakma's death. The attackers allegedly assaulted and stabbed both brothers and Chakma sustained severe injuries to his neck and spine, remained unconscious throughout his treatment, and died after more than fourteen days in intensive medical care, it said, adding his death triggered widespread anguish, protests, and demands for justice across the country. Issue an appropriate writ (ad interim till a legislation is made) in the nature of formulating comprehensive guidelines, recognising 'racial slur' as a separate category of hate crimes and determining punishment for the same, the plea said. 'Horrific hate crime': Rahul Gandhi on Tripura student murder; slams BJP for 'normalising' hate It sought a direction to the Centre and the states to create a odal agency or a permanent body or commission or directorate at the central level as well as at the level of each state where such racial crimes can be reported and redressed. Direct the respondents at central level as well as at the level of each state to make and create a dedicated special police unit in each district/metropolitan area to address the racial crimes, it said. The plea sought a direction to the Centre and the states to organise workshops and debates at educational institutes on the issue of prevailing racial discrimination and ways to redress the same. The petition said that despite the unmistakable hate-based and racial motivation behind the crime, India's criminal justice system lacks any mechanism to recognise or record racial bias at the initial stage of investigation. As a result, such offences are treated as ordinary crimes, erasing motive, diluting constitutional gravity, and perpetuating a pattern of impunity, it said. The plea said that the killing of Chakma is not an isolated incident but part of a long-standing pattern of racial abuse and violence against citizens from the northeastern states. The petition recalls earlier cases, including the death of Nido Taniam in 2014 and numerous assaults on students and workers in metropolitan cities, incidents that have been formally acknowledged by the Centre in parliamentary replies but, according to the petitioner, remain unaddressed through any dedicated legislative or institutional framework.

Tripura student's family wants capital punishment for those involved in his murder
AGARTALA: The family of Anjel Chakma (24), who was killed by miscreants in Dehradun, wants capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. We will never get back Anjel, but his family wants capital punishment or at least life term imprisonment for those involved in the gruesome murder. Anjel had repeatedly said that he was an Indian, but the miscreants mindlessly stabbed him twice in the back and broke his neck, leading to his death after 17 days of battle for life, said Anjel's maternal uncle, Momen Chakma. He urged the government to take steps so that people from the Northeast don't face racial hate crimes. Momen said, The people of Machmara, irrespective of caste and religion, will hold a candle march in memory of Anjel on Tuesday, seeking justice for his family. Anjel was about to join a company after his final semester examination as he had received a placement offer because of his first year's result with 80 per cent marks, Momen told PTI over phone. He (Anjel) had told his father, Tarun Prasad Chakma, a BSF jawan posted in Manipur, to take voluntary retirement once he gets a job, Momen said. The family's dream of having a decent life has been completely shattered by the unfortunate incident on December 26, Momen, who rushed to Dehradun soon after the incident, said. Anjel's family is completely devastated by the incident. Both father and younger son are undergoing 'Sarema' (a mandatory post-death ritual in Buddhist religion) at a local Buddhist temple for a week. His mother, Gouri Mati Chakma, is also completely shattered, he said. Momen said Ajnel's family is heading towards uncertainty because his father had bought a new home at Nandannagar on the outskirts of Agartala with a huge loan. Besides, Anjel had taken an educational loan to pursue an MBA from Dehradun. We all know pursuing such a course in Dehradun is expensive. Now everything is lost, he said. On Anjel's last wish, Momen said he wanted to travel to Nepal to witness snowfall there, but could not. He had ordered special shoes as part of his preparation to visit Nepal. We received the order, but Anjel could not see the shoes because by then he was in the ICU. I will go to Nepal with these shoes to fulfil his unfinished and last wish, Momen, a state government engineer, said. We are also Indians, says slain Tripura students dad
GUWAHATI: The North East Students Organisation (NESO) has demanded capital punishment for all those who were involved in the killing of Tripura student Angel Chakma in Dehradun. In a memorandum addressed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the NESO, which is the apex students body of the Northeast, further demanded the establishment of at least one special police station for dealing with cases related to racial discrimination and atrocities on people from the region, and the enactment of a stringent law against racial discrimination as the Anti-Racism Act. Mr Angel Chakma, who was only 24 years of age, was beaten and stabbed, resulting in his death after struggling for his life for over two weeks in the hospital. His brother, Mr Micheal Chakma, was also assaulted, the memorandum read. The only reason being they looked differently from the rest of the Aryan race and were hurled with racial abuses which were demeaning and degrading, it further read. Condemning the attack, the NESO said people from the Northeast had been facing these kinds of harassment in different parts of the country. Tripura student killing: NHRC issues notice to Dehradun DM, SSP It urged CM Dhami to immediately intervene so that authorities take effective measures which could give mental, social and physical security to the students and people from the Northeast, studying and residing in Dehradun and other parts of Uttarakhand. The All India Chakma Students Union had written to Dhami on Monday, seeking transfer of the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation and the shifting of the trial outside Uttarakhand. According to the organisation, the family of the deceased has lost faith in Uttarakhand Police due to serious procedural lapses, including a three-day delay in registering the FIR, failure to invoke appropriate sections of law at the initial stage, and alleged attempts by senior police officials to dilute the crime by portraying it as a fight while ignoring elements of racial abuse. Tarun Prasad Chakma, father of the deceased , has already urged the government to ensure the protection of people from the Northeast in mainland India. My appeal is that what happened to my son should not happen to other children from the Northeast. The Northeast is also a part of India. We are also Indians, he said. Angel was beaten up and stabbed multiple times by a group of assailants on December 9. He succumbed to his injuries on December 26.

Eleven others were critically injured in the horrific accident. The bus, carrying 19 passengers, went out of control near Salapani in the Bhikiyainsain area. Eyewitnesses reported that the tragedy struck shortly after the vehicle passed Vinayak. Relief and rescue teams, including police and local administration, rushed to the rugged terrain to reach the spot. The bus slid off the road and disappeared into the gorge within seconds. The sound was terrible, a resident said. Initial reports confirmed that six died at the site. The death toll rose to seven later as rescue operations continued. Local villagers provided immediate assistance in the frantic search for survivors trapped inside the mangled remains of the bus. Almora SSP Devendra Pincha confirmed the situation: Rescue teams have been dispatched to the spot. There are reports of some fatalities. Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Bhikiyainsein, Yakshi Arora, and SHO Bhatrojkhan, Avneesh Kumar, spearheaded the on-site operation, coordinating with ambulance services. Many passengers were pinned beneath the twisted metal, an official stated, describing the difficult recovery process. The injured are currently being rushed to Bhikiyainsain Hospital. Authorities are making arrangements to airlift seriously wounded passengers to higher referral centres. The administration has initiated an immediate inquiry into the cause of the accident. Preliminary assumptions suggest that the driver might have lost control on a sharp curve, or a technical fault could be to blame, though the exact cause awaits the official investigation report. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy and assured the affected families of full government support. This is the second major bus tragedy in the Sult area within 14 months. In November 2023, a devastating bus crash near Kupi village in the Sult tehsil claimed the lives of 36 people.

Angel Chakma killing a national disgrace, says Shashi Tharoor
The killing of Angel Chakma in Uttarakhand is not merely a tragedy but a national disgrace, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Monday. Angel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student, was assaulted along with his brother by a group of attackers in Dehradun on December 9. He later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital on December 25. The incident, described as a racially motivated attack, sparked widespread outrage across the country. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, termed the killing a horrific hate crime and accused the BJP of normalising hatred. Meanwhile, Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor condemned the killing of the young man from Tripura, describing the incident as a disturbing reflection of rising racism and prejudice in parts of the country. A young man from Tripura, a proud Indian, was racially abused, dehumanized with slurs like Chinese and momo, and ultimately murdered. This was not an isolated act of violence; it was the culmination of ignorance, prejudice, and a failure of our society to recognize and respect its own diversity, Tharoor said. Tharoor expressed shock and shame over what he termed the growing normalisation of racism in North India, often disguised as casual mockery or enabled by systemic neglect. He emphasised that the Northeast, with its diverse cultures, languages, and traditions, is an integral part of Indian identity and not a peripheral region. Despite this, he noted, people from the region continue to face racial profiling, exclusion, and abuse.

He urged that Chakmas death should not be reduced to a statistic or a fleeting headline, but instead serve as a catalyst for education, empathy, and reform. He advocated for schools to teach the histories and cultures of all Indian communities and for the media to portray people from the Northeast with dignity. The MP also called on political and religious leaders to speak out, warning that silence amounts to complicity. Referring to Hindu philosophy, Tharoor said that pluralism and inclusion lie at the core of the tradition, which has historically embraced diversity across tribes, castes, languages, and faiths. Concluding his statement, Tharoor urged the nation to honour Chakmas memory through concrete action, and to work towards building a society where no Indian feels alien in their own country.

Rahul Gandhi flags issues faced by ex-servicemen at Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence meet
NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi flagged the multiple issues concerning ex-servicemen, such as the shortfall in the hiring, difficulties in health treatment and insufficient allocation of health funds at the meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence on Monday, according to the sources. Rahul Gandhi also raised the issue of difficulties faced by ex-servicemen in accessing treatment in hospitals, particularly private hospitals. He said that when ex-servicemen are referred to private hospitals, they face significant problems in admission and treatment because many hospitals refuse treatment, citing pending dues from the government. According to sources, Rahul Gandhi further raised questions over insufficient amounts allocated to the ex-servicemen for diseases like cancer and urged that the amount be increased. He stated that ex-servicemen receive only Rs 75,000 for the treatment of cancer and kidney-related diseases. He questioned how cancer or kidney treatment is possible with such a small amount and said that this assistance should be increased. Rahul Gandhi is a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence. The meeting agenda was to review resettlement policies, healthcare facilities, and avenues for Ex-Servicemen.

We are a country of love and diversity. We must not become a dead society that looks away while fellow Indians are targeted. We must reflect and confront what we are allowing our country to become, he added. Rahul Gandhi further expressed solidarity with the Chakma family and the people of the Northeast.
