Assam CM Himanta clarifies journalist's arrest, says its not related to professional work
GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said police reports suggested Dilwar Hussain Mozumder, the arrested chief reporter of digital news portal The CrossCurrent , had abused a man belonging to a Scheduled Tribe (ST) community and demanded a huge loan from the Assam Cooperative Apex Bank in Guwahati. During a media interaction, CM Sarma said Mozumder was a businessman who worked part-time for the portal, which is owned by a politician. He also insisted that the arrest had nothing to do with Mozumders professional work. According to the police report, he badly treated a man from an ST community. The second report is that he demanded a huge amount as a loan from the bank for his business, Sarma said. The person I know owns four or five dumpers and has various other businesses. We dont know if his arrest was business-related or for other reasons, he added, stating that the tribal mans statement had been recorded in court on Thursday. Mozumder was granted bail on Wednesday, but Sarma said multiple cases had been registered against him, and the police would arrest him in each of them. None of the cases is connected to journalism, he reiterated. Protests erupted in Guwahati following Mozumders arrest while he was covering a demonstration staged by Jatiya Yuva Shakti, the youth wing of the Assam Jatiya Parishad, against alleged financial irregularities in the bank. The Press Club of India stated, When the banks managing director, Dambaru Saikia, arrived at the scene, Mozumder approached him for a news byte and asked if he could stop to reply to his questions. Saikia could be heard on camera asking him to come to his office upstairs instead, which Mozumder did. However, on coming out of the bank, he received a call from the Pan Bazar police station, asking him to report. On arrival, he was detained. Sarma also clarified that the state government had not yet recognised digital portal workers as journalists. We dont give them registration, advertisements, or ID cards. So, this person does not come under the definition of a journalist as far as the state government is concerned. We consider only those who work in electronic and print media as journalists, he said. Our discussion is ongoing with journalists on whether we should recognise those who work in portals as journalists. If they seek registration, we are ready, but they have not come forward, he added.

IPL 2025: Could Have Added 15-20 More Runs And Put Pressure On KKR, Admits RRs Bahutule
After Rajasthan Royals: After Rajasthan Royals (RR) suffered an eight-wicket loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule admitted that the side could have added 15-20 more runs to their total and in turn, put pressure on the defending champions. At the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, RR were wrecked by a mixture of their batters throwing their wickets away and KKRs spinners Varun Chakaravarthy and Moeen Ali being at their controlling best to pick four wickets as the 2008 champions made only 151/9. In reply, KKR completed the chase with 15 balls to spare, as Quinton de Kock smashed an unbeaten 97. A slightly sticky track to start off with, but to be honest we could have added about 15-20 runs more to the total and that would have put pressure on KKR. But I think overall, looking at the way we have been playing, we are a young side with a young captain. So I think keeping the wicket aside, it's the question of just us getting into performance mode, which I feel will come through (soon), said Bahutule at the conclusion of the game. Such was the impact of KKR spinners wrecking RRs innings that they introduced Shubham Dubey as their Impact Player which resulted in Shimron Hetmyer coming out at number eight. Bahutule justified that rationale by saying they wanted to save Hetmyer for taking on the fast bowlers, which didnt go as per the plan as he was dismissed by Harshit Rana. He's (Dubey) a good player of spin. Being an Impact Player, it was important we utilised his batting skills. (The thinking was that) if he could accelerate at that particular time knowing the fast bowlers will come later on, Hetmyer could've been a good match-up at that particular moment, he added. RRs spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana were largely ineffective, as they returned with combined figures of 1-66 in seven overs. Bahutule insisted the RR spinners will come good in future games, with the side set to host five-time winners Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati on March 30. We have spinners in Hasaranga and Theekshana who are obviously world-class international players. At times I thought they were short whereas if they had just owned the lengths a bit longer, there was definitely a lot of purchase for the spinners. RRs spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana were largely ineffective, as they returned with combined figures of 1-66 in seven overs. Bahutule insisted the RR spinners will come good in future games, with the side set to host five-time winners Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati on March 30.

IPL 2025: Rajasthan Need To Reflect On Their Auction Strategy, Says Uthappa
Indian Premier League: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Robin Uthappa feels that Rajasthan Royals (RR) need to reflect on their auction strategy and analyse their shortcomings after suffering back-to-back defeats in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Rajasthan lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening fixture before facing their second straight defeat against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday. Despite adding 14 players of their choice in last year's mega auction in Jeddah, the Jaipur-based franchise have not found the right balance in the playing 11 so far. Compared to their batting line-up that features the likes of Indian stars Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag, Rajasthan fall short in the bowling department with struggling Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma. Archer conceded the most expensive spell in IPL history when he was hammered for 76 runs in his four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Theyll need to reflect on their auction strategy and analyse what they might have missed. But hindsight is a luxury they dont have right now. Their bowling attack seems a bit thin, relying heavily on Sandeep Sharma and Jofra Archer. However, its important to consider that Jofra Archer is returning to regular cricket after a hiatus of over two and a half years. He has endured multiple injuries and other challenges that have taken a toll on his body. That inevitably affects a players mental makeup and self-confidence. Theres a lot to unpack here, the former Indian cricketer said on JioHotstar. Uthappa further added that Jaiswal missed the opportunity to play a big knock after getting out on 29 as Rajasthan only posted 151/9 after being asked to bat first in Guwahati. This was an opportunity for him to take on the responsibility and guide his team through. He was a set batter on a pitch that wasnt the easiest for batting. When I say that, I mean in comparison to the high-scoring surfaces we see today, especially with the impact player rule allowing teams to field up to eight specialist batters, plus an all-rounder, effectively giving them nine batting options. With that depth, batters have the freedom to attack, but reading the conditions and match situation is crucial. Unfortunately, Yashasvi didnt do that today, he added. Uthappa further added that Jaiswal missed the opportunity to play a big knock after getting out on 29 as Rajasthan only posted 151/9 after being asked to bat first in Guwahati.

IPL 2025: Varun, Moeen And De Kock Carry KKR To First Win Of The Season (ld)
Barsapara Cricket Stadium Guwahati: Moeen Ali, coming in place of an unwell Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy combined to pick four wickets each while Quinton de Kock was at his attacking best to hit an unbeaten 97 off 61 balls as defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders sealed their first win of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. Ali picked 2-23, while Chakravarthy bounced back to take 2-17 as KKR restricted Rajasthan Royals (RR) to 151/9. Such was the brilliance of Moeen and Chakaravarthy that KKR didn't even need Andre Russells services with the ball, as RR went from 67/1 to 82/5. It didnt help RR that their top order fell to rash shot selection. It took Dhruv Jurels 33 off 28 balls and Jofra Archers cameo of 16 to take RR past 150. In the chase, de Kock got going from the word go and stayed till the end while hitting eight fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 159.02 to ace a comfortable chase for KKR with 15 balls remaining. With KKR getting off the mark on the points table, it also meant that RR are still winless in the ten-team competition. Chasing 152, de Kock was quick off the blocks pulling Maheesh Theekshana for four and six, before cutting and hoicking Jofra Archer for the same result. He then comfortably lofted Riyan Parag for four, before glancing Sandeep Sharma stylishly for a boundary as KKR ended the power-play at 40/0. But shortly after that, Moeen Ali was run out for five. De Kock and Rahane kept the scoring rate steady by hitting Wanindu Hasaranga for a four each. But Hasaranga fought back when Rahane swept his googly to square leg and sent the KKR skipper back for 18. De Kock, though, brought up his fifty in 36 balls by slamming Hasaranga over mid-wicket for six. De Kocks brilliance continued as he pulled Riyan for six, even as Angkrish Raghuvanshi began by smashing Hasaranga for four. Despite the situation becoming nervy, de Kock and Raghuvanshi judiciously dealt with boundaries to take KKR closer to winning. De Kock then pulled Archer for four and six respectively, before dispatching him over long-on to finish off the chase in style. Previously, pushed into batting first, Jaiswal and Sanju Samson got off the mark with a boundary each in the opening over. With Spencer Johnson and Vaibhav Arora finding some swing, Samson struggled, while Jaiswal unveiled a straight drive and hoick off the former to pick a four and a six respectively. In a bid to loft Arora through the off-side, Samson stepped down the pitch but was left to see the yorker uprooting his leg stump, as he fell for 13. RR continued to play attacking cricket as local lad Riyan Parag wowed everyone with his heave and straight loft shots, fetching him two sixes, while Jaiswal lofted Arora over long-off for a maximum, as RR ended the power-play at 54/1. After Parag smashed Chakaravarthy for a six over mid-wicket, the spinner had the last laugh as a ball later, he got the RR skipper to miscue a loft and was caught by Quinton de Kock for 25. From there, RRs slide began - Jaiswal holed out to long-on against Moeen Ali, Wanindu Hasaranga, promoted to number five, spooned one to mid-off against Chakaravarthy, and Nitish Rana was bamboozled by turn and grip, as Moeen hit the top of his middle stump. Jurel began resurrecting RRs innings by pulling Moeen for four, before steering and edging off Harshit Rana twice for fours, despite losing impact player Shubham Dubey to Arora. Jurels fightback continued as he scooped and sweetly drove Rana for a brace of fours, before inside-edging onto his stumps off the pacer and walking back for 33. With Shimron Hetmyer holing out to long-on off Rana, the twin blows in the 19th over deprived RR of the finishing flourish they were desperately seeking. It took twin sixes from Archers bat while making a seven-ball 16 to help RR cross the 150-mark, which wasnt sufficient to avoid their first defeat at home in IPL 2025.

IPL 2025: Pitch Was Just Holding A Bit, So I Could Stick To My Lengths, Says Chakaravarthy
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After returning with figures of 1/43 in the IPL 2025 opening game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Varun Chakaravarthy bounced back in sizzling style to pick 2-17 and play a vital role in Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) restricting Rajasthan Royals to 151/9. Chakaravarthy combined forces with Moeen Ali (2-17), playing due to Sunil Narine missing out with illness, to pick four wickets collectively in their eight overs and wreck RRs plans at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday. Such was the brilliance of Narine and Chakaravarthy that KKR didn't even need Andre Russells services with the ball, as RR went from 67/1 to 82/5 in the middle overs. Today was a good wicket for me. It was holding a bit. It wasn't turning square but it was just holding a bit and I could stick to my lengths. It's great to have him (Moeen). He had to turn up so quickly because it was on short notice we got to know that Sunny (Narine) was not well. The way he turned up so quickly was amazing, said Chakaravarthy in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. With 151/9 also becoming the lowest total of IPL 2025 so far, Chakaravarthy felt some smart batting from KKR will help them chase the target and get their first win of the tournament. We couldn't have asked for any better target. The pitch is slow, some smart batting will help. He was looking in great touch, Riyan. It's great to have him (Moeen). He had to turn up so quickly because it was on short notice we got to know that Sunny (Narine) was not well. The way he turned up so quickly was amazing, said Chakaravarthy in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

Assam journalists arrest by police triggers protest in Guwahati
GUWAHATI: The arrest of a journalist of a digital news portal by the Assam police in Guwahati triggered a protest by media persons on Wednesday. Dilwar Hussain Mozumder, general secretary of Guwahati Press Club and chief reporter of The CrossCurrent, was detained by the police on Tuesday after he had asked some questions to the managing director of a cooperative bank in connection with alleged financial irregularities in the institution. He was arrested after midnight. The police actions followed a protest by the Jatiya Yuva Shakti, which is the youth wing of the political party Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), against the alleged financial irregularities involving the bank. The AJP condemned the arrest. Mozumder is the prime accused in the FIR filed by a complainant, whose name was not mentioned in the arrest information report. The report said the nature of the offence is cognisable and non-bailable, as per the provisions of the BNS and the SC/ST Act. The accuseds actions amount to an offence under Section 3(1)(r) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, as the remarks were made to intentionally insult, humiliate and offend the dignity of the complainant, who belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, the police report said. On Wednesday, journalists took out a march and staged a dharna protesting Mozumders arrest and demanding his release. The Guwahati Press Club said the protest would continue. The Press Club of India (PCI) condemned the police highhandedness, particularly the refusal to inform Mozumders family and his colleagues on what grounds he was detained. The protest (by AJPs youth wing) was held against alleged multi-crore (rupees) scam in the recruitment of the bank. While the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is the banks director, its chairman is Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Biswajit Phukan, the PCI said in a statement. When the Banks managing director Dambaru Saikia arrived at the scene, Mozumder approached him for a news byte, and asked him if he could stop there to reply to his questions. Saikia could be heard on camera asking him to come to his office upstairs instead, which Mozumder did. However, on coming out of the bank, he received a call on his phone from the Pan Bazar police station, asking him to report. On arrival, he was detained, the statement said. Since Mozumder was on fast, his wife had reached the police station with Iftar in the early evening which too was refused. Mozumder, a diabetic, was also not allowed medicines, the PCI alleged. It said preventing a journalist from carrying out his official duty is a grave infringement of the freedom of the press guaranteed under Article 19 (1) (A) of the Constitution. The PCI urged the Assam government and the chief minister to look into the matter with all sincerity, and ensure that the police respect the true spirit of the SC/ST Act, while also taking into consideration that there must not be any false charges lodged against a reporter who belongs to a backward, minority community, and was covering a sensitive corruption-related protest as part of his routine job. The CrossCurrent has been critical of some powerful politicians.

Assam journalist arrested after questioning senior bank official over 'financial irregularities'
GUWAHATI: A journalist of a digital news portal in Assam has been arrested after being detained for over nine hours by the police, after he questioned the MD of a cooperative bank over alleged financial irregularities in the institution during a protest here, officials said. Dilwar Hussain Mozumder, chief reporter of 'The Cross Current', was summoned to the Panbazar police station on Tuesday afternoon and subsequently detained, they said. Mozumder, who is also the assistant general secretary of the Gauhati Press Club, was arrested after midnight under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including those pertaining to criminal intimidation or the act of threatening someone to harm them, and relevant sections of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the officials said. The incident took place when the journalist asked questions to the MD as the Assam Jatiya Parishad's youth wing Jatiya Yuva Shakti (JYS) on Tuesday staged a dharna in front of the Assam Cooperative Apex Bank Ltd to protest against alleged financial irregularities. Mozumder is the prime accused in the FIR filed by a complainant, whose name has not been mentioned in the arrest information report. The complaint said the journalist's remarks were made to intentionally insult, humiliate and offend the complainant, who is a Scheduled Tribe (ST). The police report mentions that the offence is cognisable and non-bailable as per the provisions of the BNS and the SC/ST Act, leading to his immediate arrest, the officials said. The arrest was necessary to prevent the accused from influencing the complainant or witnesses, ensuring a fair investigation and avoiding any tampering with evidence, according to the police. Mozumder, who also filed a complaint with the police which is yet to be registered, alleged that a video recording of the protest was deleted inside the MD's chamber, and that he had also asked the scribe to ensure the demonstrations be stopped. His wife and lawyer were reportedly allowed to enter the police station late on Tuesday, after repeated pleas that Mozumder needs medication. Several media organisations have condemned the arrest and protest programmes have been planned on Wednesday. Opposition parties like the Congress, Raijor Dal and the Assam Jatiya Parishad have also demanded his immediate release.

NSCN-IM accuses BSF of aiding Kuki militants, transporting illegal immigrants
GUWAHATI: The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) on Tuesday alleged that the Border Security Force (BSF) was transporting unidentified illegal immigrants from Manipurs Churachandpur district to the Litan area in Ukhrul district, which has a Tangkhul Naga majority and some Kuki villages. The outfit stated it would not allow Naga areas to be used as a dumping ground for illegal immigrants transported by Indian paramilitary forces from across any border or non-Naga regions. Needless to say, the BSF has been guarding the Kuki militant camp at Molhang Kuki village for long. This entails a cooperative relationship between the BSF, a paramilitary force responsible for guarding India's border, and the Kuki militants, the NSCN-IM said in a statement. The group claimed that this association was an insult to its ceasefire agreement with the Indian government, which has been in place since 1997 to facilitate political dialogue and a peaceful resolution to the Indo-Naga conflict. It further alleged that the paramilitary forces had been providing logistical and material support to Kuki militants in Manipur since the early 1990s. It was there since the early 1990s when the Meitei-dominated Manipur government nurtured the Kuki militant groups to take on the NSCN, the statement added.
