Asia Cup: Bangladesh Beat Afghanistan By Eight Runs To Stay Alive In Tournament

T20 Asia Cup: A fighting half-century by Tanzid Hasan and superb bowling by Mustafizur Rahman took centre stage as Bangladesh players held their nerves to beat Afghanistan by eight runs in a Group B encounter of the Men's T20 Asia Cup 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh as he bagged three wickets while Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, and Nasum Ahmed dismissed two scalps each. With this win, Bangladesh keep themselves alive in the tournament and fight for a spot in the Super 4 stage. Before this match, Afghanistan never chased a target of more than 150 against a full member Asian nation. Chasing 155, Afghanistan had a disastrous start as they lost opener Sediqullah Atal on the very first ball of the innings by Nasum Ahmed. It was a wicket maiden for the spinner. Ibrahim Zadran came to bat at No. 3 and joined Rahmanullah Gurbaz. The duo tried to rebuild the innings and struck a few fours before Nasum struck again to dismiss Zadran in the fifth over. Gulbadin Naib came to bat No. 4 and struck Mustafizur Rahman for a four to reach 27/2 at the end of the powerplay. Gulbadin and Gurbaz stitched a 33-run vital partnership for the third wicket before Rishad Hossain caught and bowled the former for 16. Gurbaz kept the scoreboard running and smashed Saif Hassan for a six over long-off. Afghanistan were 61/3 at the halfway mark. Rishad removed Gurbaz on the second ball of the 11th over to give a big jolt to their chase. He departed after scoring 35, laced with two sixes and as many fours. Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai had a brief 11-run stand as Mustafizur bowled the former out for 15. Meanwhile, Omarzai hit the sixth gear and smashed Saif for a four and two maximums to generate 20 from it. Pacer Taskin Ahmed dismissed Azmatullah for 30 to give some respite to his side. However, Rashid got off to a mark with a no-look six and a four to keep his side alive in the match. In the next over, Karim Janat and Rashid were involved in a mix-up that resulted in the removal of the former. In the last two overs, Afghanistan needed 27 runs to win the match. Despite being hit for a four on the first ball, Mustafizur sent Rashid back to the pavilion on the next ball to put pressure back on the Afghans. The equation turned to 22 off the last over. Noor Ahmad hit two sixes to bring them closer to the target, but ultimately fell on the last ball of the innings as Bangladesh walked away with a victory. Opting to bat first, the Bangladesh openers gave them a flying start with Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan making the most of the powerplay. The batting side could only manage eight runs in the first two overs without a boundary before Tanzid hammered four boundaries of Fazalhaq Farooqis over. Saif too joined the bandwagon, hitting a six off AM Ghazanfar before smashing a four in Azmatullah Omarzais next over. The final over of the field restrictions brought a lot of joy for Tanzid as he launched Ghazanfar for two maximums to accumulate 19 from the over. Bangladesh were looking solid with a score of 59/0 after six overs. Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan gave the first breakthrough to his side, cleaning up Saif for 30 in the seventh over. Bangladesh captain Litton Das joined Tanzid in the middle. The fall of a wicket brought two tight overs for Afghanistan before Tanzid smacked a six over deep backward square leg to move into the 40s. Bangladesh reached 87/1 at the halfway mark. Right after the drinks break, Noor Ahmad made an instant impact with his very first ball, trapping Bangladesh captain Litton Das plumb in front. The tossed-up delivery around leg beat the attempted sweep, and a successful review confirmed three reds, sending the skipper back early. Meanwhile, Tanzid completed his half-century in 28 balls before hitting Noor for a six to bring up 100 for Bangladesh in the 13th over. Later in the same over, Noor struck again, dismissing Tanzid for 52, an innings that featured three sixes and four boundaries. Shamim Hossain and Towhid Hridoy were trying to keep the scoreboard ticking, and the former hit two fours off Rashid Khan in the 14th over before striking Noor for a boundary in the next over as Bangladesh were 119/3 after 15 overs. Rashid Khan cut short Shamims innings for 11 in the 16th over to restrict Bangladesh from scoring big in the death overs. In the penultimate over, Omarzai dismissed Hridoy after scoring 26 as Jaker Ali and Nurul Hasan played identical knocks of 12 each to drag Bangladesh to 154/5 in 20 overs. For Afghanistan, spinners Rashid and Noor bagged two scalps each to contain Bangladesh after getting a solid start. Rashid Khan cut short Shamims innings for 11 in the 16th over to restrict Bangladesh from scoring big in the death overs.

Asia Cup: Bangladesh Opt To Bat First Against Unchanged Afghanistan

T20 Asia Cup: Bangladesh captain Litton Das won the toss and elected to bat first against Afghanistan in the Group B encounter of the Men's T20 Asia Cup at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Bangladesh made four changes to their lineup, recalling Taskin Ahmed and opting for a bowling mix featuring three spinners and two fast bowlers. We'll bat first. All boys are excited for this game; this is a must-win game. The wicket looks a bit on the slower side; 160 would be a good total. It looks like a good batting surface, but a bit on the slower side. The mood in the camp is good; we have had a good last few months. Can't think too much about the previous game. We have four changes - Taskin is coming back. We have three spinners and two pacers, Bangladesh captain Litton Das said at the toss. Afghanistan decided to go into the match with an unchanged team that played in the tournament opener against Hong Kong. Would have loved to bat first as well, but in T20 it doesn't really matter. The guys had a good off for three days, and we got a good practice session. Our strength is our bowling unit, especially spin bowling. We still need to bowl well as a unit and hit the right areas consistently. We need to come out with a positive mindset. Body feels great, looking forward to enjoying. We go with the same team that played against Hong Kong, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said. It is a must-win game for Bangladesh after losing to Sri Lanka in their last match. The Bangla Tigers started their campaign with a thumping seven-wicket win over Hong Kong. On the other hand, Afghanistan outclassed Hong Kong by 94 runs in their opening match and are currently placed second in the Group B table behind Sri Lanka, who hold four points with two wins.

Authorities impose restrictions in J&K's Doda to prevent fresh protests over AAP MLAs arrest; internet suspended

SRINAGAR: The authorities on Wednesday imposed restrictions in Jammu and Kashmirs mountainous Doda district after protests broke out against the detention and booking of AAP MLA from Doda, Mehraj Malik, under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA). Mobile internet and broadband services in the district have also been suspended. The administration has invoked Section 163 of the BNSS in Doda district to restrict public movement without prior permission. According to an order issued by Additional District Magistrate Doda, Anil Kumar Thakur, the assembly of four or more persons has been prohibited. No individual will be allowed to resort to provocative speeches, slogans, or gestures that may disrupt peace and communal harmony. The administration has also banned the carrying of lathis or sharp-edged weapons in public. Officials warned that any violation of the prohibitory order will invite punitive action under relevant provisions of law. After invoking Section 163 BNSS, policemen made announcements about the imposition of restrictions from vehicles fitted with public address systems. The DC Doda appeals to all residents of Doda through this announcement that Section 163 BNSS (earlier Section 144) has been imposed in the district. People have been appealed to keep their shops and business establishments closed and stay in their homes and dont move on roads and in streets. Whosoever is found moving on the road or in streets, strict legal action will be taken against him, read the police announcement. The decision to impose restrictions in Doda was taken after massive protests erupted in many parts of the district yesterday in support of the detained MLA and to denounce his booking under the PSA. At several places, police fired tear smoke shells to disperse protestors who were demanding the release of the MLA and the withdrawal of the PSA against him. AAP MLA Mehraj Malik booked under Public Safety Act shifted to J&K's Kathua jail; internet suspended in Doda Mehraj, who was arrested on Monday and lodged in Kathua jail, is the first sitting MLA in Jammu and Kashmir to be booked under the PSA, which allows detention for up to two years without charge or trial. He had defeated BJPs Gajay Singh Rana by 4,538 votes to win the Doda Assembly seat in last years elections. The administration handed over the PSA dossier to the MLAs lawyer last night. AAP J&K spokesman Mudasir Hassan said the dossier, running over 250 pages, has been received by the MLAs lawyer and is being studied by the partys legal team. He said the partys central leaders, including MP Sanjay Singh and J&K in-charge Imran Hussain, have arrived in Jammu and are holding meetings with the legal team. Rejecting the allegations mentioned in the dossier, Mudasir said the party would challenge the MLAs arrest in the J&K High Court. The spokesman added that around 1,0001,500 people had assembled at Shiva bridge, between Doda and Prem Nagar, and were protesting at around 11 pm yesterday. The policemen fired tear smoke shells and resorted to baton charge to disperse the peaceful protestors, who were demanding release of the arrested MLA, he alleged. He further claimed that a landslide occurred in the area afterwards. I have received phone calls that many people have not returned to their homes yet. We fear that some people may have been injured due to landsliding, the AAP spokesman said. The AAP held the Deputy Commissioner of Doda and the district administration responsible for disturbing peace in the district by booking the MLA under the PSA. The DC had other legal alternatives. He could have written to our party disciplinary committee or could have sent a notice to the MLA through a lawyer. He could have registered an FIR against him but instead he used the draconian PSA law against the MLA, which is totally unjustified, Mudasir said. He demanded that the administration release Mehraj and withdraw the PSA against him. We will continue our stir till Mehraj is released, the AAP spokesman added.

AAP MLA Mehraj Malik booked Public Safety Act shifted to J&K's Kathua jail; internet suspended in Doda

SRINAGAR: Sitting AAP MLA Mehraj Malik who was arrested and booked under the J&K Public Safety Act, 1978 on Monday, has been shifted to Kathua jail. Internet has been suspended in many parts of the Doda district in anticipation of planned protests by AAP supporters. Mehraj, who had defeated BJPs Gajay Singh Rana by 4,538 votes to win Doda Assembly seat in last years Assembly polls, was yesterday booked under provision of J&K Public Safety Act, 1978, on the grounds of his activities being prejudicial to the maintenance of public order. After his arrest and booking under PSA, Malik was shifted to Bhaderwah district jail, and later in the evening, was shifted to District Kathua jail in neighbouring Kathua district. At midnight, he was taken to Government Medical College Kathua, where his medical check-up was conducted. After the check up, police then shifted him to District Kathua jail and lodged him there. Some of his supporters were present near the district jail Kathua and chanted slogans like, Lok Tantra Ki Hatya Bandh Karo (stop killing democracy). The authorities have suspended internet services in many parts of the Doda district on Tuesday. The AAP has called for protests against the MLAs arrest and authorities have deployed police and paramilitary personnel in strength in some sensitive areas. The MLAs supporters had also held protests at some places in the district yesterday after his detention and booking under PSA. Mehraj is the first sitting MLA in J&K to be booked under stringent PSA that allows detention upto two year without charge or trial. According to PSA order issued by District Magistrate Doda Harvinder Singh, invoking PSA against the MLA has been taken after due consideration of all relevant materials, reports, and circumstances that clearly establish that the continuance of such activities by the MLA posed a great threat to peace, public order and tranquillity in the district. Since Mehraj is an MLA, DC Doda had informed J&K Legislative Assembly Speaker about booking of the MLA under PSA. According to DC, the preventive detention under the PSA was found necessary in the interest of maintaining public order and safeguarding law and order in the region. The firebrand AAP MLA, who had earlier extended support to Omar Abdullah in government formation but in June this year withdrew support to the government, had been pressing the Deputy Commissioner Doda for shifting the primary health to a centrally located place. He had allegedly used abusive language against the DC for not shifting the health centre from its present location. The DC had claimed that the MLA wanted the administration to allow the sub-centre to function in a building built by one of his supporters on state land and pay him monthly rent. After the incident, administration had registered FIR against him and five of his supporters About 18 FIRs have been registered against Malik, who has courted controversies with his statements and abusive language. The arrest of Mehraj and booking him under PSA has drawn strong criticism from political leaders in J&K. There is no justification for detaining Mehraj Malik under PSA. Hes not a threat to public safety & using this discredited law to detain him is wrong. If the unelected government can use its powers against an elected representative like this then how does anyone expect the people of J&K to continue to have faith in democracy, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.

MLA ? , AAP https://t.co/7mzqQ0Pfhp Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) September 8, 2025 J&K Congress leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir while condemning unjust detention of MLA Mehraj under PSA said, This undemocratic act undermines the will of the people & erodes faith in our institutions. I demand his immediate release & call for united opposition to such authoritarianism. PDP MLA Rafiq Ahmed Naik described the imposition of PSA on elected representative as a brazen attack on the very spirit of democracy. Using draconian laws against an elected leader sets a dangerous and alarming precedent. In a true democracy, dissent must be confronted with dialogue and debate, not criminalised and suppressed, he said. Peoples Conference president and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone said the will of the people of J&K continues to be subservient. What is the purpose of holding elections if an elected representative is denied the right to express his sentiments. This is a soulless democracy, Lone said and warned such measures only deepen the crisis of credibility facing the democratic institutions in the region. Former Minister and J&K Apni Party leader Ghulam Hassan Mir said, If the MLA had committed any offence, he should have been charged under the appropriate laws. There was no need to impose such a harsh law, under which he could be kept in jail without trial.

Be ye never so high, law is above you

A mechanical engineer by qualification, the 34-year-old grandson of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and a former MP, Prajwal Revanna is now a convicted rapist and lodged in Bengaluru Central Prison as prisoner number 15528. On August 2, the MLA/MP court in Bengaluru sentenced Prajwal to life imprisonment and fined Rs 11 lakh for raping a 47-year-old domestic worker in Mysuru and recording the assault. Of the four rape and sexual abuse cases against him, this was the first case (rape) that led to trial and conviction. The fine will be paid as compensation to the survivor a daily wage worker, who had the spine of steel and had withstood shame, agony, social ostracisation and fear of the backlash from the political elite. Pronouncing the maximum sentence of life imprisonment following his conviction in rape, Sessions Judge Santosh Gajanana Bhat, in his 466-page judgement, held that as an MP, Prajwal wielded his political and social dominance to violate a woman employed in his household, coercing her into silence through fear, shame, and manipulation. What are the safeguards against an arbitrary exercise of power? The question posed in the judgement echoed through generational trauma of sexual exploitation of disempowered women by the rich and entitled. What would be the just compensation that can be awarded is a question that requires to be determined; the tone of the verdict is as poignant as it is pertinent. Prajwal, a member of the 17th Lok Sabha from Hassan constituency the heartland of Janata Dal (Secular) of his grandfathers making was once the third youngest MP. He hails from the affluent, being the grandson of Deve Gowda the Mannina Maga (son of the soil) son of former Karnataka minister, HD Revanna and nephew of Union minister and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. A graduate from Bangalore Institute of Technology, Prajwal discontinued his MTech course in Australia to help his grandfather with the 2014 Lok Sabha election from the JD(S) home turf Hassan. The latter won the election. Based on a family decision, Prajwal contested the 2019 Parliament elections and emerged the sole winner in the six out of the 28 Lok Sabha seats contested by the JD(S). Prajwal owed his electoral debut to his grandfather, who gave up Hassan to pave way for the son to rise. Deve Gowda, who instead contested from Tumakaru, lost to the BJP. Prajwals rise in politics was as sudden as is his downfall. In 2023, based on two petitions, the HC of Karnataka declared his election null and void, directing the EC to take action against Prajwal for election malpractice. His 2024 Lok Sabha campaign was marred amid the sudden circulation of pen drives in Hassan containing videos of rape and sexual assault, which Prajwal allegedly shot a week before the Lok Sabha polls. On April 20, his election agent filed an FIR claiming foul play behind the videos. On April 26, Prajwal left the country on a diplomatic passport, soon after polling. On April 27, the Karnataka government formed an SIT to probe the charges against Prajwal Revanna. Three days later, he was suspended by the JD(S). On May 5, the victim lodged a police complaint, alleging sexual violation by Prajwal. On May 31, after a Blue Corner Notice was issued against him, Prajwal returned to India to face probe. The SIT chargesheeted him on September 8. His bail plea was junked by the Supreme Court in November. Trial in the case, which began on May 2 this year, concluded on July 18. Prajwal was convicted on August 1 and sentenced for life the next day. Having considered mitigating factors; that Prajwal was not a repeat offender and has to look after his ageing parents, the court heavily weighed upon the aggravating factors in which the Judge held that this was a classic case wherein blatant violation of law and procedure were made by the mighty and powerful people. By his horrendous act, Prajwal showed disgrace to the society which reposed faith in him by getting him elected, read the verdict.

Congress flags concern over women's safety in BJP states, seeks fast-track courts to deal with cases

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday slammed the BJP over recent incidents of crimes against women in states ruled by the saffron party, and demanded proper compensation and security for the victims' families as well as fast-track courts to deal with such cases. Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba attacked the BJP over the death of a 15-year-old girl from Odisha , who was allegedly set on fire by three unidentified miscreants in Puri district. The girl succumbed to her burn injury while undergoing treatment in AIIMS Delhi. You failed to catch the criminals and get them punished. The daughter died and today the police says that no one was involved in this, she said at a press conference here. ' ' , pic.twitter.com/mpjQhztxnB Congress (@INCIndia) August 3, 2025 Lamba also pointed out that during the Assembly session in Madhya Pradesh, Congress MLA Arif Masood asked how many SC-ST women were raped in the state from 2022 to 2024, and the answer was 7,418. A girl from Odisha died. Earlier, a girl studying in Fakir Mohan College alleged sexual harassment but did not get justice. She set herself on fire. That girl died in Bhubaneswar and now a 15-year-old girl has died in AIIMS Delhi, Lamba said. In the name of religion in Chhattisgarh, police arrested our sisters associated with Christian missionaries, she said. Today, we are once again ashamed. In Ahmedabad, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a shameful poster has been put up by the traffic police, which states that daughters in Gujarat should not go out of their homes. If they go out and go to a party at night, they can be raped, the Congress leader said, as she showed a photograph of the poster. Now I come to the case of Karnataka. Prajwal Revanna from Hassan has been convicted of rape . You know that Prajwal Revanna is a mass rapist... Prime Minister Narendra Modi had campaigned for him and sought votes, Lamba said. But today I feel proud to tell you that Rahul Gandhi ji took this issue seriously, and told the Congress government in Karnataka not to come under any pressure because Prajwal Ravanna has the support of two prime ministers... one former and the current. Revanna has now been sentenced to life imprisonment, she added. Women's safety remains a serious issue in the country and that is why Mahila Congress will continue its 'Nyay March', Lamba said. Police are trying to crush the demand for justice but we are not going to stop. Mahila Congress has decided to ensure justice for the victims and punishment for the culprits. Our demands are -- victims' families must be given security and proper compensation, and cases related to women's safety should be tried in fast-track courts and justice be given to the victims, she said.

Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna found guilty of sexually assaulting house help

BENGALURU: The special court on Friday convicted former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna in one of the four sexual abuse and rape cases registered against him. He was found guilty in the first case for allegedly raping his former maid at his farmhouse and recording an obscene video of the act. Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat of the Special Court for the trial of criminal cases against present and former MPs/MLAs will pronounce the sentence on Saturday. Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, appeared before the judge. He was seen looking upset after being pronounced guilty. He has been lodged at the Bengaluru Central Prison in Parappana Agrahara for the past 14 months. The trial in the case concluded on July 18, and the court reserved its verdict on July 30. Before pronouncing the verdict, the court sought clarifications from the lawyers on both sides, regarding Google Maps data and mobile phone records. The verdict was then adjourned to August 1. The case was based on a complaint filed by a 47-year-old domestic worker at the Holenarasipura Town Police Station in Hassan on April 28, 2024. She alleged rape and harassment by Prajwal Revanna. After the scandal broke, she was allegedly abducted at the behest of Prajwals parents, former minister and Holenasasipura MLA H.D. Revanna and Bhavani Revanna, to prevent her from testifying against their son. She was later rescued by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) from a farmhouse in K R Nagar in Mysuru. The SIT filed a 1,632-page chargesheet in the case in September 2024. Prajwal Revanna is the prime accused in four sexual abuse and rape cases that came to light a day after the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka. Obscene video clips allegedly depicting the sexual abuse of multiple women surfaced on social media, and pen drives containing such videos were recovered in Hassan. Prajwal fled the country on April 27, 2024, shortly before the scandal erupted.
