Srinagar, Aug 04: The Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today addressed and congratulated the officer trainees of the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management, Lucknow, who are on the field visit to Jammu Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted their important role in shaping the future of the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) and expressed immense pleasure in interacting with the 69 officer trainees selected through the Civil Services Examination in 2022, 2023, and 2024 batch.

Outer Delhi Warriors Monu Shukla: Outer Delhi Warriors edged past New Delhi Tigers in a nail-biting, rain-affected 15-over contest to claim their first Super Over victory in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. New Delhi Tigers initially set a steep target of 156/5, anchored by a blistering 101-run stand between skipper Himmat Singh (61 off 25) and Lakshay Thareja (62* off 41). Outer Delhi Warriors seemed completely out of the chase after being reduced to 80/5, before making a comeback. The architect of this sensational turnaround was Monu Shukla, who produced a masterclass in aggressive finishing by smashing a fearless 45 off just 17 balls to drag his team back into the contest. Shukla then carried his electric touch directly into the Super Over, blitzing a crucial cameo to power the Warriors to a formidable 20 runs. The Tigers' chase collapsed almost immediately in response. Reflecting on his match-winning effort, Shukla said, It feels great to register our first win of the season. We had come very close in the previous match but couldn't finish the job, so the team was naturally disappointed. This victory has given us a lot of confidence, and everyone is very happy with the result. Talking about his mindset during the high-pressure chase, Shukla added, I was happy with the way I batted. The plan was to play positively and take the game deep. We felt we could have finished the chase without a Super Over, but once it went there, we stayed confident and backed ourselves. Reflecting on his match-winning effort, Shukla said, It feels great to register our first win of the season.

Supreme Court issues nationwide directions to curb digital arrest scams
New Delhi [India], August 4 : The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a series of nationwide directions to strengthen measures against digital arrest scams, directing the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to frame a standard operating procedure (SOP) on mule accounts within four weeks and calling for faster implementation of cyber fraud redressal mechanisms across the country. A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana passed the directions after taking note of a status report filed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre of the Union Ministry of Home. Among the key directions, the bench directed all States, Union Territories and law enforcement agencies to operationalise, at the earliest, the Grievance Redressal Module and the Money Restoration Module introduced under the Ministry of Home Affairs' January 2 SOP governing the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and Cyber RMS. States were also asked to undertake public awareness campaigns on digital arrest scams and available reporting and redressal mechanisms. The SOP is also to be supplied to the Registrar General of every High Court, said the apex court. Registrar Generals of all High Courts were directed to inform courts and adjudicating authorities dealing with bank account freezing cases about these grievance mechanisms so that affected persons may first avail these remedies, without prejudice to their statutory or constitutional rights. Further, States that are yet to notify State Cyber Crime Coordination Centres have been directed to do so within four weeks and adopt the e-Zero FIR mechanism in consultation with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre. Authorities were also instructed to ensure expeditious disposal of bank account freezing cases arising out of cyber-enabled financial fraud. The bench further directed the Inter-Departmental Committee to consult banks and intermediaries on technological measures to prevent digital arrest scams, facilitate recovery of defrauded amounts, assist investigations and ensure compliance with legal obligations. The top court also directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, in consultation with intermediaries, to examine proposals for introducing time-based restrictions on telecom services for audio and video calls. The matter will next be heard on September 16, when the court will consider a fresh consolidated status report. The report is to include State-wise and bank-wise data on grievances registered and disposed of, summary money restoration orders issued and completed, and the amounts restored to victims. The bench passed the directions while hearing a suo motu case initiated on digital arrest scams. Last year, the apex court took suo moto cognisance of incidents of digital arrest scams, where fraudsters impersonate law enforcement agencies or judicial authorities to extort money from citizens, particularly senior citizens.

The Delhi Premier League: The Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 witnessed its first Super Over of the season as New Delhi Tigers and Outer Delhi Warriors played out a thrilling contest at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with the Warriors eventually holding their nerve to seal a memorable victory. New Delhi Tigers posted 156/5 in their allotted 15 overs against Outer Delhi Warriors after rain reduced the contest. The innings got off to a shaky start, with the Tigers slipping to 37/2 in the sixth over before rain interrupted play. After the break, captain Himmat Singh and Lakshay Thareja took control of the innings with a superb 101-run partnership, shifting the momentum firmly in their team's favour. Himmat led from the front with a blistering 61 off just 25 balls, smashing five sixes and four fours to put the Warriors' bowlers under pressure. At the other end, Lakshay played the perfect supporting role and remained unbeaten on 62 off 41 deliveries, ensuring the Tigers finished with a competitive total. For Outer Delhi Warriors, Siddhant Sharma was the standout bowler, returning figures of 2/25 in his three overs, while the rest of the attack struggled to break the crucial partnership. In reply, Outer Delhi Warriors got off to a decent start, but the New Delhi Tigers bowlers pulled things back brilliantly with regular wickets. The Warriors were reduced to 80/5, putting them under immense pressure. However, Monu Shukla produced a sensational counterattack to keep his side in the contest. The right-hander played a fearless knock of 45 off just 17 balls, taking on the bowlers with some clean hitting and bringing the equation within reach before he was eventually dismissed. The match went right down to the wire. Needing nine runs in the final over, Shivam Sharma got the Warriors off to a perfect start by hitting the first ball for a boundary before taking a single off the next delivery. A no-ball on the third delivery handed the batting side a free hit and shifted the momentum further in their favour. Just when it looked like the Warriors would complete the chase, the game took another dramatic turn. Siddhant Sharma was run out, leaving the team needing one run off the final ball. The last delivery produced one of the most dramatic moments of the tournament. Himmat Singh initially fumbled the ball at mid-off and kicked it away.

The remarkable sequence resulted in a run-out and forced the match into the first Super Over of the DPL 2026.
