New Delhi [India], June 2 : The National Investigation Agency has chargesheeted 31 accused in four separate cases linked to the Malda Special Intensive Revision (SIR) related road blockades and illegal detention of judicial officers, the agency said on Tuesday. The chargesheets have been filed before the NIA Special Court in Kolkata based on various digital, technical, documentary and oral evidence, as well as examination of several witnesses to the incidents that rocked the region ahead of the West Bengal assembly polls in April. As per the NIA, the accused have been charged under respective relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, National Highways Act, 1956, and West Bengal Maintenance of Public Order (WBMPO) Act, 1972. Specific roles played by each of the accused have been detailed in the chargesheets, which clearly establish their involvement in the road blockades and illegal detention and restraint of judicial officers engaged in the special intensive revision of electoral rolls at various locations in Malda district, stated the NIA.

Top IITs & Engineering Colleges Accepting JEE Advanced 2026 Scores

The JEE Advanced exam is one of the toughest and most famous tests in India for students who want to become engineers. Every year, over 10-12 lakh students first appear in JEE Main, and then the top 2.5 lakh of them qualify to write JEE Advanced. Only a small portion of these students finally make it into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), which are the dream colleges for many young engineers. In JEE Advanced 2025, around 1.8 lakh students appeared for the exam, and about 54,000 qualified for the next step. But even after qualifying, there are only about 17,700 BTech seats available across all IITs, which makes the competition very tough. Among the 23 IITs, some like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Madras remain the most popular choices for top rank holders. Every year, these institutes attract many of the best-performing students because of their strong academics, research opportunities, and excellent placements.

Its A Final, But For Me Its A Normal Game: Patidar Focuses On Staying Calm Ahead Of IPL Title Clash

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar is keeping emotions and expectations in check ahead of the IPL 2026 final against the Gujarat Titans, insisting that Sundays title clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium is 'a normal game' for him despite the stakes involved. RCB enter the final as defending champions after another dominant campaign in which they topped the league standings and secured direct qualification for the summit clash with a crushing 92-run win over the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. Speaking ahead of the final, Patidar said the team is drawing confidence from both its recent performances and the memories of last years title-winning campaign at the same venue. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year. Its a final, its a big stage, but for me I think its a normal game, Patidar said in a video released by RCB on X. The RCB skipper stressed the importance of staying focused on the present rather than getting carried away by the occasion. I always like to take a big game also as a normal game. And I always try to be more in the present. I dont want to think too much ahead. That its going to be final. What is going to happen. Nothing about the result. Stay more in the present, he added. RCB have been one of the standout teams of IPL 2026, finishing the league stage with nine wins from 14 matches. Their campaign featured impressive victories over Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, while the side also responded strongly to difficult phases during the tournament. Patidar credited the collective effort of the squad for helping the franchise reach a second consecutive final. We should be proud of the way we played till now in this tournament. Everyone has dominated. Everyone has contributed for the team. So its a good positive sign for them, he said. Reflecting on the opportunity to return to the Narendra Modi Stadium, Patidar said the team is eager to add another special chapter to its history. Great memories here. And we want to create some more memories in a couple of days time, he said. Head coach Andy Flower echoed his captains confidence while praising the teams consistency throughout the season. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year. The boys have done a brilliant job over a period of time to get here, Flower said. And get here with some style as well. It takes a lot of hard work and thought and courage from the boys out here, in the middle, in games, and a lot of nerve to top the table in this league. But theres more to do, obviously, he added. Feeling great, back-to-back finals, and on the same ground. So, there are a lot of memories of last year.
