Indian Premier League: BCCI vice president Rajiv Shukla gave his verdict on players of the Australia A camp falling sick amid their one-day series against India A in Kanpur, saying that they might have attracted some sort of infection, and that there were no issues with the quality of food being provided. Notably, four players, including the captain of the Australia-A camp, contracted stomach infections, causing a health scare. Henry Thornton was admitted to Regency Hospital following a deterioration in his condition. The remaining three players were treated and released after standard medical assessments. Team sources indicated the illness might be related to food eaten at the hotel, although neither hospital officials nor team management officially confirmed it. Speaking to reporters in Kanpur, Shukla stated that all players are being served the same food from one of the finest establishments, and if food were the issue, then everyone would have been affected, not just a few players. If there had been an issue with the food, all players, including the Indian players, would have fallen sick. It must have been something else. They are being fed food from one of the finest hotels, Hotel Landmark; the food is good, and everyone is eating the same. Since a few players have fallen ill, they may have contracted an infection, and we are handling it. The issue arises because there aren't many hotels. We need 300 rooms in a five-star hotel, and that's not available. There is no international airport in the area that operates 24/7. Had better arrangements been in place, they would have gained an advantage. When asked why the issue occurs only during senior international or unofficial games and not during the Indian Premier League, Shukla mentioned that the BCCI does not have a say in such matters during the tournament, as all arrangements are managed by the franchises themselves. The issue arises because there aren't many hotels. We need 300 rooms in a five-star hotel, and that's not available. There is no international airport in the area that operates 24/7.

The Uttar Pradesh police on Saturday stopped a Samajwadi Party delegation heading for Bareilly, where the crackdown on the 'I Love Muhammad' campaign led to violence and the arrest of several Muslims, including renowned scholar Maulana Tauqeer Raza.

First assured transit time container train between Delhi & Kolkata from today
NEW DELHI: The Railway Board is set to launch its first assured transit time (ATT) container train service on Wednesday between Delhis Tughlakabad and Kolkatas Shalimar via Agra and Kanpur. The Ministry of Railways said on Tuesday that the train will have a guaranteed transit time of 120 hours. This development is seen as a significant milestone in the logistics sector. The service, being introduced on a pilot basis, will be operated by the Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR). It will connect four Inland Container Depots (ICDs) along the route: Tughlakabad (TICD), Agra (ICDY), Kanpur (ICDG), and Kolkata (CTKR/CTCS). The train will initially have a bi-weekly schedule, departing every Wednesday and Saturday. A railway statement noted, A unique feature of this service is the hub-and-spoke cargo facility at Agra and Kanpur, enabling efficient cargo aggregation for a wider catchment area. A railway official said, The guaranteed transit time will mark a milestone in the logistics sector by delivering the consignments on time as per its schedule. The Ministry also noted that customers will benefit from a waiver of empty wagon haulage charges between Tughlakabad and Kanpur. Officials clarified that if the train or some containers are empty between the starting point and Kanpur, customers will not be charged extra. Outlining the objectives of this ATT service, the Railway said, The pilot project is expected to provide multiple advantages to customers, including door-to-door assured and reliable delivery for time-sensitive cargo, a competitive alternative to road transport, enhanced connectivity for northern hinterland cargo, and priority benefits for early adopters. The Ministry added that the service supports sustainability by encouraging a shift from road to rail, reducing the carbon footprint, and aligning with Indias commitment to green logistics. Through this initiative, Indian Railways and CONCOR reaffirm their focus on customer-centric, reliable, and sustainable logistics solutions, the ministry said.

BSF plans radar-mounted drones for surveillance
NEW DELHI: The Border Security Force (BSF) with the help of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is developing drone mounted radar systems, which will be used by troopers for surveillance along Indias western and eastern frontiers without crossing the borders, officials said on Sunday. They said that the ISRO would assist the BSF in developing drone-based radars, as it is considering fitting small radars onto drones, which would be crucial for border surveillance and understanding enemy movements. The officials also confirmed that the system is developed. The BSF, which is known as Indias first line of defence, will manufacture the sensitive equipment on its own at at its Tekanpur Academy situated in Madhya Pradesh. A senior BSF officer told this newspaper that the experience, which the force gathered during Operation Sindoor, led us to understand the role of drones in future warfare and keeping this in view we have set up a School of Drone Warfare at the BSF Tekanpur Academy. The BSF has been in talks with the ISRO. Now, the ISRO will assist the force in developing drone-based radars. The BSF is also considering fitting small radars onto drones, which would be crucial for border surveillance and understanding enemy movements. In the coming few months, BSF will also start manufacturing radar-equipped drones on its own, the officer said. He said that the drone-based radar systems could enhance the security along the India-Pakistan and India-Bangladesh borders, as the current physical guarding of the borders is effective only over limited areas, while drone-mounted radars can monitor remote and difficult terrain. Their biggest advantage is that they operate day and night and in all weather conditions, whether foggy, dark or rainy. Radar-equipped drones can quickly detect the movement of moving targets, small vehicles, or intruders. This provides the BSF with real-time alerts, allowing the forces to act quickly, the officer said. The drone mounted radar system would also enable the troops to conduct surveillance in areas, where setting up permanent radar or outposts are difficult, he said, adding that this would also help in controlling attempts of smuggling or supplying weapons from across the border. Securing borders in the present time has no longer been limited to mobile soldiers or fixed towers, technological interventions can significantly enhance surveillance and response capabilities. Vigilance on borders to get tech boost Enhance daily vigilance: Continuous coverage of wide areas especially difficult terrain and remote sections Surveillance in night and during bad weather: Radar can track even when visual sensors are not working Fast-track alerts/triggers: Helps deploy forces quickly as it gives real-time alerts Integrated sensor fusion: Combining radar, infrared, high-resolution cameras and ground sensors can provide better detection Mobility and Scalability: Deployment in small areas In times of crisis, deploying more drones to provide increased coverage

The police crackdown on the 'I Love Muhammad' campaign among Muslims has intensified in several districts across Uttar Pradesh, with a prominent cleric being among eight people arrested on Saturday. Prominent Muslim scholar and president of the Ittehad-e-Millat Parishad, Maulana Tauqeer Raza, along with seven others, were arrested on Saturday after being allegedly kept under house arrest following a call for protest against the police crackdown on the campaign on Friday. A local court has sent Raza and seven others to 14-day judicial custody for allegedly masterminding what the police called a violent clash on Friday. As many as ten FIRs have been registered in connection with the campaign across the Bareilly district, with each one naming between 150 and 200 Muslims as accused. According to police, a group of people carrying 'I Love Muhammad' posters clashed with police outside a mosque in the Kotwali area of Bareilly after Friday prayers. The crowd was reportedly angry over the last-minute cancellation of a proposed demonstration called by Raza, due to permission being denied by authorities. The police alleged that the violence was the result of a planned conspiracy, calling it an attempt to disrupt peace. A few days ago, an organisation proposed holding a march on Friday and submitting a memorandum in support of a protest. We informed them that written permission would be needed for any such programme, as Section 163 of the BNSS (power to issue order in urgent cases of nuisance or apprehended danger) is in effect throughout the district, said Bareilly District Magistrate (DM) Avnish Singh. Meanwhile, in the Barabanki district, a banner with I love Muhammed slogan was torn down by miscreants on Friday night, sparking tensions. According to locals, a watchman named Dhanni had broken the rope with a stick and brought down the banner, prompting Muslims to gather at the area. The entire incident was recorded on a CCTV camera installed at a nearby mosque. The footage reportedly shows Dhanni using a stick to topple the banner. Police have seized the video and launched an investigation. The additional superintendent of police and the circle officer arrived at the scene, and police from several police stations were called to the village. Meanwhile, the watchman's family had alleged that some people broke into their house, vandalised it and stole belongings. In the Mau district, a group of Muslims who took out a procession chanting 'I Love Muhammad' in the Nai Bazaar area after Friday prayers was chased away by the police using batons. Four Muslims were arrested in Varanasi for taking out similar processions and putting up posters with 'I Love Muhammad' slogans. A derogatory post targeting the campaign led to communal violence in Gujarat's Bahial on Wednesday, with local Muslims alleging that the police sided with Hindu right-wing groups as they targeted and attacked properties of the minority community. According to the Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), as of September 23, at least 21 cases have been registered with over 1,324 Muslims accused and 38 arrested, in connection with banners displaying the slogan I Love Muhammad, accross the country. The crackdown started after an initial case was registered in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur during an Eid Milad-un-Nabi procession. Local Hindu groups objected to the banner, alleging that it was deliberately placed in a mixed neighbourhood where Hindu festivals like Ram Navami are raditionally celebrated. Tensions escalated as both communities accused each other of provocationHindus claimed their posters were damaged, while Muslims said they were targeted for expressing devotion. According to APCR, as many as 16 FIRs were filed in connection with the banners and more than 1,000 Muslims have been identified as accused across districts in UP, including Unnao (8 cases, 85 accused, 5 arrested), Baghpat (150 accused, 2 arrested), Kaiserganj (355 accused), Shahjahanpur (200 accused) and Kaushambi (24 accused, 3 arrested). Social media amplified the campaign, with hashtags like #ILoveMuhammad trending widely, prompting users to share images and change profile pictures. Political leaders, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, weighed in, noting that expressing religious devotion is protected under the Constitution. As the police action targeting Muslims in the name of the campaign intensifies, rights groups and lawyers have pointed out that the crackdown goes against the right to religious freedom of the community.

Former SP MLA Irfan Solanki granted bail by Allahabad HC after 24 months in jail
LUCKNOW: Former Samajwadi Party MLA from Sisamau in Kanpur, Irfan Solanki, was granted bail on Thursday in a case filed against him under the Gangster Act. His brother Rizwan Solanki and associate Israel Aatewala also secured bail. The decision, delivered by Justice Sameer Jain of the Allahabad High Court, had been reserved on September 2. It clears the way for Solankis release from Maharajganj Jail, where he and his associates had been lodged for 24 months. During the hearing, the state government, represented by Additional Advocate General Manish Goyal, opposed the bail, arguing that Irfan was the main accused and not entitled to relief. Defence counsel Imran Ullah countered that other co-accused had already been granted bail and that the same principle should apply. The court accepted the argument and extended bail to all three accused. Irfan Solanki was booked under the Gangster Act on December 26, 2022, after being accused of setting a temporary house belonging to his neighbour, Najir Fatima, on fire in an attempt to force her family to vacate the property, so the legislators family could occupy it. In June 2024, the MP-MLA court in Kanpur sentenced Irfan, his brother Rizwan, and three others to seven years in prison in the Jajmau arson case, along with with a fine of Rs 30,500. Following the gangster proceedings, properties worth over Rs 30 crore linked to Solanki and his aides were seized, while the Enforcement Directorate raided five of his locations, uncovering a long list of assets. While lodged in Kanpur Jail, Solanki was visited by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, after which he was shifted to Maharajganj Jail. Solankis political career began in 2007 when he won the Arya Nagar assembly seat on a Samajwadi Party ticket. He later shifted to Sisamau, retaining the seat in 2012, 2017, and 2022, even surviving the BJPs 2017 wave. His wife, Naseem Solanki, now represents Sisamau in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.

Rat on board causes nearly three-hour delay for Indigo flight at Kanpur airport
LUCKNOW: An Indigo flight from Kanpur to Delhi was delayed by nearly three hours on Sunday due to the presence of a rat inside the aircraft. The flight, scheduled to depart from Chakeri Airport in Kanpur at 2:55 pm, had completed its incoming journey from Delhi when crew members and passengers spotted the rat moving around the cabins inside the plane. Several passengers, particularly women, panicked and raised an alarm. The cabin crew quickly intervened, deboarding all 140 passengers from the 189-seater flight and moving them to the airport lounge due to safety concerns. According to Chakeri Airport Director Sanjay Kumar, the airport authorities decided not to allow the aircraft to depart until the rodent was found and the aircraft was declared safe.

Pahalgam attack victims widow urges boycott of India-Pakistan Asia Cup game; Opposition slams Centre
LUCKNOW/CHANDIGARH/MUMBAI: Even as cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025 championship scheduled for Sunday, there are growing calls from various quarters, including relatives of the Pahalgam massacre victims , to boycott the event. Aishanya Dwivedi, the young widow of one of the Pahalagam massacre victims, came out strongly against the championship, condemning the gesture and urging all the stakeholders concerned to boycott the fixture. Criticising the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for agreeing to play against Pakistan, who she described as a terrorist nation, Aishanya accused it of ignoring the sacrifices of 26 people who lost their lives in the terror attack on April 22, this year. The BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan. I think BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families. What are our cricketers doing? Cricketers are said to be nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. Except for 1-2 cricket players, nobody stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it, Aishanya said while interacting with media persons in Kanpur. Aishanya sought to ask the sponsors and broadcasters if their nationality for those 26 families were over. What will the revenue from the match be used for? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism. That is a terrorist nation. You will provide them with revenue and prepare them to attack us once again. I cannot understand this, added an enraged Aishanya. Calling for a nationwide boycott, she urged fans to take a stand. Dont switch on your TVs. Dont give them the numbers. Boycott this match. 'Can blood and cricket flow together?' Opposition parties, including AIMIM and Shiv Sena (UBT), among others, slammed the ruling BJP and the BCCI over the September 14 match. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray asked if blood and cricket can flow together. BJP has fogotten Pahalgam & Pulwama Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann sought to remind the BJP-led Centre about Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh being branded a traitor when his movie with a Pakistan actor was to be released after the terror attack. Without naming Union Home Minister Amit Shah, whose son Jay Shah is the president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), CM Mann said, Now the match is being played because the big bosss son is the ICC president. Mann alleged that in this scenario, they forgot the Pahalgam and Pulwama attacks. He said that two teams play a match. The match is with Pakistan. They should clarify that sports and culture will be kept separate from the relationship between both the countries, he added. Cricket match an insult to national sentiments Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), declared Sindoor protests throughout Maharashtra on Saturday, claiming that playing cricket with Pakistan is an insult to national feelings, given that Indian soldiers are losing their lives on the borders, and questioned how terrorism and cricket can go together now. Addressing the media, Thackeray called for the boycott of Sundays match between the two nations. He said this is the best opportunity for India to communicate and send a strong message and signal to the world about Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. He criticised the BJP-led Centre, asked if the government would declare that Operation Sindoor was halted, and urged deshbhakts (patriots) to avoid the cricket match because the scars from the Pahalgam terror attack are still raw. This cricket match is an insult to national sentiments. Should we be playing cricket with Pakistan while our soldiers sacrifice their lives on the borders? Thackeray asked. He said the cricket match was a joke on patriotism. If blood and water cannot flow together, then how can cricket and blood (go) together? he said, and alleged that they (BJP) were doing trade in the name of patriotism. Shiv Sena (UBT) will protest the game across the state. Thackeray said that sindoor (vermilion) will be collected by the partys female employees and sent to the PMO. He also questioned the Central governments stance on Pakistan, alleging that Indias foreign policy has been ineffective and that it appears the nation will not regain control of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. You were saying that Pakistan is spreading terror, and now you are playing cricket with the same country. Is Pakistan a terror state or not? Is it our enemy or not? Soldiers are getting martyred, and these people play cricket. This is not good, Thackeray added. Uddhav mentioned a previous encounter between Pakistani player Javed Miandad and Bal Thackeray in the Thackeray familys Mumbai home, Matoshree, saying, my father had told Javed Miandad that there will be no cricket till terror acts against India from Pakistan continue. We should not maintain any relations with Pakistan until terror stops. Notably, On May 7, 2025, Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 defenceless civilians lost their lives.

Man poses as Army para commando officer, dupes woman of Rs 70,000 on pretext of marriage in UP
NEW DELHI: A 23-year-old man was arrested for duping a woman of 70,000 on the pretext of marriage after impersonating himself as a para commando Lieutenant of the Indian Army, police said on Thursday. The accused, Deepanshu, a resident of Kanpur, had appeared for the NDA examination but could not clear it. Afraid to tell his parents, he took out the list of passing candidates which carried a candidate with his namesake and showed it to his parents, claiming that he had cleared the exam. The incident was reported on 1 September when a 28-year-old woman, a resident of Bhola Nath Nagar, Farsh Bazar, alleged that one person had cheated her by impersonating a Lieutenant in the Indian Army on the pretext of getting married to her. It was found that the complainant runs a medical store in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. She met Deepanshu at a marriage through some relative, where he introduced himself as a Lieutenant in the Indian Army para commando force. They started meeting each other, and he met her several times in Army uniform. Later, he asked her for money on some pretext, and she gave him several payments amounting to around 70,000 in cash as well as through online transactions. However, she grew suspicious of him, and on 1 September, when he came to meet her, she made a PCR call to have the facts verified. On her complaint, a case was registered on 2 September under Sections 168, 204, 205, 318, 319, and 340 of BNS at Farsh Bazar police station, and Deepanshu was arrested, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said. When police checked the mobile phone of the accused, various photographs in para commando uniform, an identity card, an NDA rank list, an appointment letter, etc., were found. It was revealed that his father has retired as a havildar from the Army. He had appeared in the NDA examination but could not pass. He was afraid to disclose this to his family. He took out the NDA pass-out candidate list from the portal which carried a candidate with a similar name Deepanshu. He showed it to his parents, claiming that he had been selected and left the house saying that he was going to NDA Khadakwasla for training, Gautam said. He stayed around Kanpur doing odd jobs. One day, he met the complainant at a marriage function and told the same lie to her. Even the parents of the accused do not know that their son has told a lie to them, police added.

Illegal betting app: ED freezes Rs 110 crore worth bank funds; seizes 1,200 credit cards
NEW DELHI: Funds worth Rs 110 crore kept in mule bank accounts have been frozen and 1,200 mule credit cards were seized following recent searches against the Indian operations of a Cyprus-based illegal online betting platform named Parimatch, the Enforcement Directorate said on Thursday. Parimatch app, as per the federal probe agency, gained visibility in the country through aggressive marketing, including sponsorship of sports tournaments and partnerships with well-known celebrities. It is alleged to have cheated investors luring them with high returns and generating more than Rs 3,000 crore in a year. They also set up Indian entities to run surrogate advertisements under the names 'Parimatch Sports' and 'Parimatch News'. Payments to these agencies were made via foreign inward remittances, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said in a statement. The agency had conducted searches at 17 locations in Mumbai, Noida, Jaipur, Surat, Madurai, Kanpur and Hyderabad on August 12 as part of a case registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against the operations of Parimatch. The ED case stems from an FIR filed by the cyber police station of Mumbai Police against parimatch.com for duping users through online betting. The agency said funds worth about Rs 110 crore kept in various bank accounts belonging to persons/entities used as mule accounts (bank accounts used for money laundering and similar criminal activities) and/or for layering purposes were frozen. More than 1,200 mule credit cards, found in a single premises during the searches, have also been seized, it said. Describing the alleged modus operandi deployed by the betting platform, the ED said it routed users' fund through mule accounts using different strategies across the country. In one case, it said, funds deposited by users into mule accounts were withdrawn in cash in a specific locality in Tamil Nadu. This cash was handed over to hawala operators, who used it to recharge virtual wallets of a UK-based company. These wallets were used to buy cryptocurrency in the name of mule crypto accounts, which were actually operated by Parimatch agents, it alleged. In western India, the ED said, Parimatch engaged services of domestic money transfer (DMT) agents. Funds collected in mule accounts controlled by these DMT agents were sent to Parimatch agents through payments made by mule credit cards. The ED said it found that payment companies whose application for payment aggregator licences were rejected by the RBI offered their services to Parimatch in garb of technology service providers (TSPs) and offered their API (application programming interface) to facilitate user fund collections. These TSPs offered the API to Parimatch agents who onboarded mule accounts opened in the name of e-commerce companies and payment solution provider companies for collection of funds from users, the ED probe found. The money so collected through UPI transfers was layered and transferred out in the garb of e-commerce refunds, chargebacks, vendor payments etc effectively concealing the actual flow and purpose of funds, it said.
BSF trains dogs to detect drones coming from Pakistan
CHANDIGARH: In a first in the country, the Border Security Force (BSF) has trained dogs to detect drones that come from the Indo-Pak international border carrying payload of drugs and weapons. The ears of these canines can pick up the mechanical buzzing sound of flying machines, a sound that the ears of humans usually do not detect. Sources said that four dogs have been trained at National Training Centre for Dogs (NTCD) in Tekanpur, Gwalior, for the Punjab frontier of the BSF. These four dogs have already been deployed on duty. Most dogs belong to the labrador retriever breed. Additionally, 14 more dogs are currently being trained. The dogs can pick up the buzzing sound of the drones known as auditory signatures as they have an ability of catching the sound resonance from a distance which human ears cannot do, and then the dogs alert our troopers who can then shoot down these flying machines, said a senior functionary of the BSF on condition of anonymity. The dogs can easily detect them during night and early morning or late evening as at that time other sounds in the vicinity are less, so they will be used accordingly to detect the drones, he said. He added that it is imperative to train dogs, given the increasing menace of smugglers and militants based in Pakistan sending drugs and weapons via the drones. An official said that the drones are fitted with GPS so that the consignments are dropped at a pre-decided location from the international border. The dogs will immediately give an alert whenever a drone enters our side of the border, and they will be more useful during the winters when the movement of these flying machines increases in dense fog, he said. The force also uses different sniffer dogs from its K9 unit to trace drugs or explosives dropped by the drones in the field. Confirming the development, Inspector General of BSF (Punjab Frontier), Atul Fulzele, said that dogs have been trained to detect drones as they can hear the humming sound of the UAV. Since the dogs has undisputed hearing ability to capture sound waves from a distance, they are trained in this regard and introduced to a particular sound generated by drones, he said. Sources said that from January till date, 175 drones have been shot down by the BSF, while a total of 294 drones were neutralised by the force last year. In 2023, 107 drones were seized. It is learnt that the US and Israel use identical trained dog squad to detect drones. A worrying trend has emerged, as these drones, mostly of Chinese origin are now flying at altitudes of 1,000 meters. This enables them to drop narcotics, arms and ammunition deep inside Indian territory, reaching new locations approximately four to five kilometres from the border. An official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that these drones fly from launch pads near Lahore and have been recorded dropping consignments as deep as 20 kilometres inside Indian territory. The officer noted that the drones are now operating at higher altitudes to avoid detection, shifting from the previous flying range of 300 to 400 meters. Additionally, they have changed their dropping zones, as they no longer use traditional areas near the border, indicating a strategy to find new locations for their operations. Sources in the BSF indicate that all recovered drones are DJI Mavic series, manufactured in China by a private firm in Shenzhen. These GPS-enabled quad copters weigh less than one kilogram, can fly up to 75 kilometres per hour, and reach altitudes of 6,000 meters. They have an endurance of around 40 minutes and can be controlled by radio link from a distance of up to 30 kilometres. Punjab shares approximately 553 km of international border with Pakistan. Thus, it remains the most active region for drug smuggling via drones, closely followed by the Sri Ganganagar area in the Rajasthan frontier, due to the proximity of dense habitations and numerous link roads along the border.
