DPL 2026: Keshav Dabas Penalized After Central Delhi Kings Edge Purani Dilli 6 In Thriller
Central Delhi Kings: Central Delhi Kings all-rounder Keshav Dabas has been penalized 10 per cent of his match fee and handed one demerit point for a Code of Conduct breach during his side's thrilling four-wicket win over Purani Dilli 6 in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 opener at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Dabas was cited under Article 2.5 (Level 1) of the DPL Code of Conduct for making a sending-off gesture towards opposition batter Dev Lakra during the match held on Friday night. Keshav Dabas admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction imposed by Match Referee - Manu Nayar, said an official statement from the league on Saturday. Despite the disciplinary setback, Dabas played a crucial late role with the bat, hitting an unbeaten 17 off nine balls, to guide Central Delhi Kings home in a daunting chase of 203. The successful chase was built on skipper Yash Dhulls commanding 72 off 45 balls. Dhull received strong early support from opener Siddharth Joon (23 off 14 balls), as the pair added 65 runs inside five overs. Rajneesh Dadar provided the breakthrough by dismissing Joon, caught by Pankaj Jaswal. Dhull continued to push the scoring alongside Yugal Saini (22) before the latter was run out. Jonty Sidhu fell for a duck shortly after, but Dhull kept the Kings in control before mistiming an upper cut off Jaswal to Dadar at short third man. A fiery 13-ball 28 from Vansh Bedi kept the run chase alive, but his exit left the Kings needing a finishing flourish. With the pressure building, Dabas held his nerve to smash two consecutive boundaries off the last two balls of the 19th over, leaving just three runs required off the final six deliveries. Jasvir Sehrawat then hit the winning runs to complete the victory with four balls to spare. Rajneesh Dadar provided the breakthrough by dismissing Joon, caught by Pankaj Jaswal. Dhull continued to push the scoring alongside Yugal Saini (22) before the latter was run out.

Former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, 4 others get life term for murder of IB officer
A Delhi court on Friday sentenced former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain and four others to life imprisonment for the murder of Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Ankit Sharma during the 2020 Delhi riots, reports Bar & Bench. Additional Sessions Judge Praveen Singh of the Karkardooma Court rejected the prosecutions plea for the death penalty, holding that although the crime was marked by nauseating and sickening brutality, the convicts were not beyond reformation. The court observed that Sharma was caught by a murderous mob baying for blood during the communal violence and that his body was later thrown into a drain after the killing. It said the brutality of the offence made it an aggravating circumstance, but noted that the prosecution had failed to establish that the convicts had a violent disposition or were beyond reform. Besides Hussain, the court awarded life imprisonment to Nazir, Asim, Javed and Anas, who were convicted of murder, rioting, promoting enmity and other offences under the Indian Penal Code. Delhi Police had sought capital punishment, describing Sharmas killing as a cold-blooded and brutal murder. The defence argued that the case did not fall within the rarest of rare category required for awarding the death penalty. The case stems from an FIR lodged by Sharmas father, Ravinder Kumar, after the IB officer went missing during the riots on February 25, 2020. Sharmas body was later recovered from the Khajuri Khas drain, with the complainant alleging that Hussain and his associates were responsible for the killing.

Hamas agrees to Gaza disarmament plan as Trump announces breakthrough
New Delhi, Jul 31:US President Donald Trump announced that the Board of Peace has reached an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with a senior Hamas official confirming that the group has accepted the plan. According to Trump, Israeli forces will withdraw from the Gaza Strip as the disarmament process is completed. However, Israel has not yet issued an official response to the proposal. The agreement, brokered with the help of mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, envisages a phased disarmament process that will be independently monitored, US and Board of Peace officials told reporters. Officials said an Implementation Verification Committee will oversee compliance, providing third-party monitoring as neither Hamas nor Israel can independently verify the other's actions. They cautioned that dismantling Hamas' military infrastructure - including its weapons depots, and production facilities - could take considerable time. According to the plan outlined by officials, Hamas police in Gaza would first surrender their weapons to transitional authorities. This would be followed by the decommissioning of heavy weapons, closure of tunnels and military facilities, and the disbanding of fighters operating them. In the final phase, all personal weapons in Gaza, including those held by militias and clans, would be addressed under Palestinian law. While some negotiators have described the agreement as a significant breakthrough, officials acknowledged that considerable caution and scepticism remain on all sides. Meanwhile, Egypt's state-linked Al-Qahera News reported that Cairo will soon host a meeting of mediators from Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey to confirm all parties' commitment to implementing the agreement. The date of the meeting has not yet been announced, according to the report.
Kashmir's apple economy at risk as fruit-laden trucks face delays
Srinagar, Jul 31:With the harvesting of early apple varieties gaining momentum, Kashmir's horticulture sector has voiced growing concern over repeated disruptions on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, urging the administration to ensure uninterrupted movement of fruit-laden trucks to markets across the country. Growers and traders said recurring traffic interruptions caused by landslides, flash floods, shooting stones, road maintenance, and restrictions associated with the ongoing Amarnath Yatra have begun affecting the transportation of fresh produce, raising fears of financial losses during the crucial marketing season. Kashmir's apple industry, which supports lakhs of families and contributes close to Rs 12,000 crore annually to J&K's economy, depends almost entirely on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway for transporting fruit to wholesale markets in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and other parts of the country. Stakeholders said any delay on the highway directly affects the quality and market value of the produce, particularly early-season varieties like Gala apples and plums, which have a relatively short shelf life. President of the Kashmir Valley Fruit Growers and Dealers Union, Bashir Ahmad Basheer, said growers were anxious as fruit dispatches had coincided with weather-related disruptions and traffic regulation on the highway. We appeal to the administration to treat fruit-laden trucks as a priority. Perishable produce cannot remain stranded for long, and every delay translates into losses for growers. We also hope the authorities will restore traffic quickly whenever the highway is affected by adverse weather, he said. Basheer said transporters have also been affected by traffic management measures in place during the annual Amarnath Yatra. Acknowledging the importance of the yatra, he appealed to the authorities to devise a mechanism that allows fruit trucks to move without prolonged waiting periods. The harvesting of Gala apples and plums has already begun, and buyers from outside J&K expect timely deliveries. We have started receiving complaints about delayed consignments. This can affect both our reputation and the prices growers receive, he said. According to the union, nearly 100 to 120 trucks loaded with fruit leave Kashmir every day during the present harvesting phase. Growers believe this volume can be managed efficiently if dedicated time slots or priority movement are provided for vehicles carrying perishable goods. Although the administration has advised transporters to use the Mughal Road whenever the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway faces disruption, traders said the alternative route is not suitable for large-scale fruit transportation. Javed Ahmad, a fruit trader from Sopore, said infrastructure limitations make the road an impractical option for most transporters. The Mughal Road is still not equipped to handle the majority of trucks used for transporting apples. Most consignments move in 12-tyre and 16-tyre trucks, whereas the alternative route is better suited for smaller vehicles. Transporters are therefore reluctant to take that route, he said. Traders also pointed out that repeated traffic restrictions during the harvest season create uncertainty in the supply chain. They said while temporary closures for emergency repairs may sometimes be unavoidable, advance planning and better coordination could minimise disruption to the horticulture sector. The issue has also drawn the attention of political leaders, who have urged the administration to strike a balance between facilitating the Amarnath Yatra, undertaking highway maintenance and protecting the interests of the Valley's horticulture industry. Growers have called for the creation of a dedicated corridor or priority passage for fruit-laden trucks until the harvesting season concludes. They also sought better coordination between traffic authorities, highway agencies, and district administrations to provide real-time updates on road conditions so that transporters can plan their journeys accordingly.
