1st ODI: Pratika And Shafalis Chase Was A Masterclass, Says Smriti After India's Win
Smriti Mandhana: India captain Smriti Mandhana praised Pratika Rawal and Shafali Verma for their commanding batting performances, describing their match-winning partnership as a masterclass after the World Champions registered a nine-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the three-match series at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara, on Friday. Rawal struck an unbeaten 100 off 96 balls, while Shafali remained not out on 64 off just 34 deliveries as India chased down Zimbabwes target of 198 in 27.1 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Praising the duos approach during the chase, Mandhana said their performance was a standout feature of Indias dominant outing. Yes, we can tidy up our fielding; a few catches went down our way, but otherwise, again Shafali and Pratika went about that chase, and it was a masterclass, Mandhana said after the match. Rawal anchored the chase with an assured unbeaten century, striking 15 boundaries, while Shafali provided the aggression with five fours and four sixes. The pair ensured India maintained control after Mandhanas dismissal for 32 off 34 balls, reaching the target with nine wickets in hand. Earlier, Indias bowlers restricted Zimbabwe to 197 in 49.5 overs, with spinner Shree Charani leading the attack with figures of four for 23. Kranti Gaud picked up three wickets, while vice-captain Deepti Sharma claimed two and Shafali took one. Mandhana lauded the bowling unit for adapting well to a different venue, singling out Charani and also praising the discipline shown by the pace bowlers. Coming into a different ground, I think the bowlers adapted really well, especially Shree Charani, I think the standout bowler for us. Also the pacers, the way they bowled, Kranthi to mention, out of all the bowlers, they were pretty disciplined, she said. Despite the comprehensive win, the India captain acknowledged that her side could have maintained greater intensity in the field during certain phases of Zimbabwes innings. India have largely played T20 cricket over the past seven months, and Mandhana said the transition back to the 50-over format required some adjustment. Well, we are playing fifty overs after a very long time. We have played T20 cricket for almost the last seven months, so definitely in the period between 20 and 35, I would say, we could have had more intensity on the field. That is something which we will take back from a game and work on, she said. Mandhana also highlighted communication as a key factor in maintaining consistency in the bowling attack, particularly with players moving between the T20 and ODI sides. She credited the support staff, especially bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi, for helping the bowlers understand their roles and keeping the plans clear. Again, its communication. You need to be absolutely clear with them. When they came in as well, we had a lot of communication, especially again the T20 side from the one-day side; we had two days, she said. Good communication, knowing about, again, support staff, Aavishkar (Salvi) sir, not to mention, hes always with the bowlers, coordinates with them, then gets back to me with the plans. So hes really on it and makes my job easy, she added. Looking ahead to the second ODI, Mandhana said the team would welcome some time to relax after returning to the longer format while also using the opportunity to build stronger connections among players, including those who have recently joined the squad. Hopefully a relaxed, chill day would be good because we have all played one-day cricket after a very long time. So yeah, we will hang out with each other, trying to get to know more about the players, because we have a lot of new players coming in and a lot of energy, especially Jintimani. I mean, shes just a ball of energy around the team, she said. Looking ahead to the second ODI, Mandhana said the team would welcome some time to relax after returning to the longer format while also using the opportunity to build stronger connections among players, including those who have recently joined the squad.

Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, while addressing batting order changes, said that the wicketkeeper-batter was dealing with a groin injury. Ishan's absence in the second T20I may open the door for teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to get a place in the playing 11. There was a lot of speculation I have also seen; just because Ishan had a strain in his groin, the batting order was changed, Kotak told reporters. If Ishan doesnt play, unless he recovers completely, which the medical team will advise, Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) could definitely step in for him. He is one of the strongest contenders, he added.

1st ODI: Rawals Ton, Shafalis 64 Power India To Nine-wicket Win Over Zimbabwe
World Champions India: Pratika Rawal struck an unbeaten century while Shafali Verma smashed a blistering 64 not out as World Champions India cruised to a nine-wicket victory over Zimbabwe, chasing down a target of 198 in just 27.1 overs in the first ODI of the three-match series at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi in Vadodara on Friday. Rawal remained unbeaten on 100 off 96 balls, hitting 15 boundaries, while Shafali provided the fireworks with an unbeaten 64 off just 34 deliveries, including five fours and four sixes. The emphatic victory came after Indias bowlers, led by Shree Charanis four-wicket haul, restricted Zimbabwe to 197 in 49.5 overs despite a fighting half-century from Beloved Biza. Chasing 198, India made a flying start as Rawal struck two boundaries in the opening over to put the Zimbabwe bowlers under immediate pressure. The opener continued her aggressive approach, finding two more boundaries across the next two overs while rotating the strike effectively. Captain Smriti Mandhana joined the assault in the fifth over, hammering consecutive fours off Michelle Mavunga as the Indian openers took advantage of the fielding restrictions. Rawal was particularly proactive during the Powerplay, combining crisp strokeplay with effective running between the wickets. The opening pair dominated the Zimbabwe attack, taking India to 72 without loss after 10 overs, with Rawal contributing 42 runs during that period. India needed just 126 more runs to secure victory. With the fielding restrictions lifted, Rawal and Mandhana initially adapted a more measured approach, looking to keep the scoreboard moving through singles and twos. Rawal received a reprieve in the 13th over when Loryn Phiri dropped her at deep mid-wicket. The opener capitalised on the opportunity, completing her fourth ODI half-century off 54 balls. Another boundary in the 15th over helped India move to 93 without loss as the opening partnership continued to put Zimbabwe on the back foot. Zimbabwe finally broke through in the 16th over when Mandhana attempted to attack a delivery outside the off stump but was dismissed. The Indian captain scored 32 off 34 balls, ending the opening partnership after a strong start. However, the dismissal did little to slow Indias progress, as Shafali joined Rawal in the middle and immediately made her intentions clear with a boundary off her third delivery. The two batters maintained a scoring rate of around eight runs per over, putting the visitors under mounting pressure. Rawal continued to anchor the chase with assured strokeplay, while Shafali attacked the bowlers with her trademark aggression. India reached 166/1 at the halfway stage of the innings, leaving Zimbabwe with little room to stage a comeback. Shafali accelerated further in the 26th over, taking the bowlers apart and bringing up her half-century off just 29 balls with consecutive sixes as India moved within touching distance of the target. Rawal, who had been in control from the beginning, reached her century off 96 deliveries in the 27th over to cap a dominant individual performance. Shafali then completed the chase in style, striking a boundary off the first ball of the 28th over. She remained unbeaten on 64 off 34 balls, with five fours and four sixes, as India finished at 198/2 in 27.1 overs. Olinder Chare was the only Zimbabwe bowler to take a wicket, finishing with figures of 1/58. Earlier, India produced a disciplined bowling performance to dismiss Zimbabwe for 197 in 49.5 overs after the visitors won the toss and elected to bat. Zimbabwe suffered an early setback when opener Loryn Phiri was caught and bowled by Kranti Gaud in the third over. Mugeri-Tiripano and Modester Mupachikwa attempted to rebuild the innings, rotating the strike and capitalising on loose deliveries. Zimbabwe reached 46/1 at the end of the powerplay. After the fielding restrictions were lifted, Captain Mandhana introduced Charani, who trapped Mugeri-Tiripano's leg before the wicket for 21 off 27 balls. The spinner struck again in the 15th over, dismissing Mupachikwa, who mistimed a lofted shot and was caught by Gaud for 25 off 44 deliveries. Deepti added to Zimbabwes troubles in the 18th over by dismissing newly appointed vice-captain Sharne Mayers. Attempting to play an aerial shot against a tossed-up delivery, Mayers failed to clear the infield and departed for eight off 12 balls. Zimbabwe was in need of a substantial partnership when Biza and Nyasha Gwanzura came together. The duo rotated the strike effectively and found boundaries at regular intervals to rebuild the innings, taking the visitors past the 100-run mark in the 26th over. Charani broke the partnership in the first over of her third spell, taking a return catch to dismiss Gwanzura for 13 off 28 balls. Biza continued to hold the innings together and found support in Chiedza Dhururu. The pair attempted to revive Zimbabwes scoring rate, with Biza reaching her half-century in the 35th over off 64 balls. India struck again when Gaud bowled Dhururu for 10 off 23 deliveries, leaving Zimbabwe searching for another partnership. Mavunga, batting at No. 8, provided some late impetus with an aggressive innings. Her boundaries helped Zimbabwe cross the 160-run mark in the 39th over, but Charani ended her resistance in the 43rd over to complete her four-wicket haul. Mavunga scored 29 off 23 balls. Biza remained the visitors top scorer, but her fighting innings ended when Gaud dismissed her, with Mandhana taking a good catch. Biza made 62 off 92 balls, striking four boundaries. Deepti wrapped up the innings by bowling Tendai Makusha off the penultimate ball as Zimbabwe were dismissed for 197 in 49.5 overs.

1st ODI: Charanis Four-wicket Haul Helps India Bowl Out Zimbabwe For 197 (Lead)
Spinner Shree Charani: Spinner Shree Charani claimed a four-wicket haul as World Champions India bowled out Zimbabwe for 197 in 49.5 overs in the first ODI of the three-match series at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi near Vadodara on Friday. Zimbabwe, who came out to bat after winning the toss, suffered an early setback when opener Loryn Phiri was caught and bowled by Kranti Gaud in the third over. India had an opportunity to strike again in the same over, but wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dropped a regulation catch to give Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano a reprieve. The missed chance allowed Zimbabwe to rebuild as Mugeri-Tiripano and opener Modester Mupachikwa looked to establish a partnership. India maintained an attacking approach with two slips in place, but the Zimbabwe batters rotated the strike well and capitalised on loose deliveries. The scoring rate, however, remained low, and India missed another opportunity to break the partnership when vice-captain Deepti Sharma dropped a catch in the slips in the eighth over. Zimbabwe reached 46/1 at the end of the powerplay. With the fielding restrictions lifted, India captain Smriti Mandhana introduced Charani, who provided the breakthrough by trapping Mugeri-Tiripano leg before wicket. The batter departed for 21 off 27 balls. Mupachikwa continued to hold one end after the dismissal of her partner, but Charani struck again in the 15th over. Attempting a lofted shot, Mupachikwa mistimed her effort and was caught by Gaud after scoring 25 off 44 balls. India tightened their grip on the innings when Deepti dismissed Sharne Mayers in the 18th over. Mayers attempted to take the aerial route against a tossed-up delivery but failed to clear the infield, departing for eight off 12 balls. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Zimbabwe needed a partnership to stabilise their innings. Beloved Biza and Nyasha Gwanzura responded by rotating the strike effectively and finding boundaries to rebuild. Their stand helped Zimbabwe cross the 100-run mark in the 26th over of their first ODI against the Indian womens team. Mandhana turned to Charani again when the partnership threatened to grow, and the spinner delivered in the first over of her third spell. Charani took a return catch to dismiss Gwanzura, who scored 13 off 28 balls. Biza continued to anchor the innings despite losing her partner and found support in Chiedza Dhururu, who looked in good touch after arriving at the crease. Biza brought up her half-century in the 35th over, reaching the milestone with a boundary off the 64th ball of her innings. India, however, struck again when Gaud bowled Dhururu in the same over. Dhururu departed for 10 off 23 balls, leaving Zimbabwe needing another substantial contribution to build a competitive total. Michelle Mavunga, batting at No. 8, provided some momentum with an aggressive approach against the world champions. Her boundaries helped Zimbabwe reach the 160-run mark in the 39th over, but Charani ended her entertaining innings in the 43rd over to complete her four-wicket haul. Mavunga scored 29 off 23 balls. Zimbabwes stand-in captain Nomvelo Sibanda fell in the following over to Shafali Verma as India continued to make inroads into the lower order. Biza remained Zimbabwes main source of resistance, but her fighting knock came to an end when Gaud dismissed her, with Mandhana taking a good catch. Biza top-scored with 62 off 92 balls, hitting four boundaries. Deepti delivered the final blow by bowling Tendai Makusha off the penultimate ball of the innings as Zimbabwe were dismissed for 197 in 49.5 overs. Charani was Indias most successful bowler, finishing with four wickets for 23 runs. Gaud also impressed with three wickets, while Deepti claimed two and Shafali picked up one.

Sitanshu Kotak Press Conference: Update on Ishan Kishan, Vaibhav in Playing XI and more
India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak addresses the media ahead of the 2nd T20I against New Zealand, discussing Vaibhav Sooryavanshis talent, Sanju Samsons fearless batting approach, Tilak Varmas promotion in the batting order and Ishan Kishans fitness. Kotak also explains the team managements selection decisions and the importance of backing young players without creating unnecessary pressure.
The stage is set for the second T20I of the ongoing multi-format series between India and New Zealand. The two sides are slated to take on each other at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on October 24th. It is worth noting that the Indian team got off to a good start to the series, winning the first T20I of the series in brilliant fashion .
Ishan Kishan Injury Opens Door For Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? Sitanshu Kotak Speaks
Sitanshu Kotak explains why India promoted Tilak Varma and Shreyas Iyer in the first T20I, while keeping the door open for Sooryavanshi's inclusion.
Dhir Is Exciting Talent Who Fills Multiple Roles, Knows What Is Expected From Him: Kotak
In T20s: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said on Thursday that Naman Dhir is a very exciting talent who understands his job in the side and delivers on it, adding that the all-rounder's ability to bowl, field and finish gave the team valuable balance. Dhir sealed India's four-wicket win in the T20I series opener against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval with a blistering unbeaten 42 off 15 balls, as the visitors chased down 226 their highest chase ever in the format - with two deliveries to spare. Naman Dhir, in the last six to eight balls in the Bangaluru match, what he did, we know that he is capable of doing that. He is a very exciting talent. His role in the last match was very, very important. He is a power-packed player, He knows what is expected from him. And he does exactly that, which is a great sign, Kotak told reporters in a press conference. He also felt Dhir could be used in different ways depending on the opposition's batting make-up. In T20s, if a team has a lot of left-handers, he can bowl four overs. Or if there is an equal balance of right and left-handers, he can bowl two overs or one. He is someone who can also field really well and bat, who can make an impact in batting in the finisher's role. At the moment, obviously, it is too early, but I personally feel he is very promising. The batting technique, the base he creates early, the power he has, the way he plays the short ball, he is a very, very exciting talent. Dhir's late burst capped a chase set up by the openers. Sanju Samson top-scored with a 33-ball 67 and added 93 with Abhishek Sharma inside the powerplay, while captain Shreyas Iyer made 42 off 28 balls. Kotak said what stood out for him was how the pair of Sanju and Abhishek kept fear out of their game. Sanju is an outstanding, power-packed player. The way he and Abhishek approached (the chase) yesterday - it may seem natural given the high scores that are posted. But, if you ever put yourself in the place of a batter, and think that you have to hit 3-4 sixes in the first two overs, you will also be afraid of getting out. If you get out early in two consecutive games, then you will play in fear in the third match; fear that if you don't get a run, then you will be dropped. Overcoming all that, and the way they are showing the intent, that excites me. Really, it is amazing, that on top of power, talent, and intent, and everything, controlling their mind also, to get them into that fearless attitude - that is something to watch. With Ishan Kishan ruled out due to groin strain, teenaged opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the frontrunner to slot into the playing eleven for the second T20I, which will also be played at Hagley Oval. Vaibhav, 15, was fast-tracked into the national side after a stellar IPL season earlier this year, but has been on the bench since featuring in the semi-final and final of Indias gold-medal winning Asian Games campaign. Iyer had earlier described the time on the sidelines as a learning curve for the youngster. The only other batter in the squad is seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube, who would not be a like-for-like replacement for Kishan. Kotak refused to add to the debate over Sooryavanshi's game time, and felt the noise around him early on had been unhelpful. He is young. But to be very honest, not just me, the way the entire team management handles him well. I look at him from a neutral perspective, but it is amazing because everyone likes him. The public likes him, social media likes him, the team also likes him. He has that talent. But just because of that, or that everyone likes him, you can't make changes in the playing eleven. He is very talented, and I actually feel that he has a bright, bright future ahead. Once he plays, he gets his opportunities and settles down, he will learn a lot of things. At the start, I felt there was a lot of hype that he should play. I genuinely felt that such hype is not good for a player as well, for a young 15-16-year-old boy, that everyone is saying that he should play, and he is not getting a place. He is too young. Then the entire atmosphere revolves around 'why is he playing?' and 'why is he not playing?' People related to cricket should think about it - whether they are actually helping or just to create something... That's what I felt that time. The coach said the youngster had since matured and accepted the competition for places without complaint. Now he is much more mature. He understood that if Sanju bhai is batting the way he is, how will he stay out? If Abhishek bhai is batting the way he is, only 11 can play even in middle order. So everyone understands. But he still wants to play. And if I was to be in his place, even I would have wanted to play. So there is nothing wrong with that. He is a very simple boy. I don't think he has ever complained. From what I see of him, I am really happy and he is working on his fielding, fitness, and batting. He also observes how the game is going, and how the senior people are approaching it. Because hitting ability is one thing, and the things you learn while batting at this level, is a different thing. He will also have to learn that. I am sure he will; he is clever, talented. Kotak made it clear he had no intention of tinkering with Sooryavanshi's attacking instincts. Vaibhav has a certain way of practising. I wouldn't say that he was struggling, but there are certain things he likes, there is a certain way he wants to attack. Obviously, the practice wicket, its bounce, and the way it is in the match, is very different. But my conversation with him was about the way the ball moves from certain areas, what shots he can play for that. The way he approaches the game, I wouldn't change that, unless such a situation comes up where it becomes a must. Vaibhav's ability is so much that he doesn't struggle as often. He just talks, decides and plays his shots. There are players who play shots on merit. And there are those who try to create shots, wherever the ball is. For me, Vaibhav is that kind of a player who dominates and plays shots as per his wish. But my conversation with him was about the way the ball moves from certain areas, what shots he can play for that. The way he approaches the game, I wouldn't change that, unless such a situation comes up where it becomes a must. Vaibhav's ability is so much that he doesn't struggle as often.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) A suspected network of women has emerged as a significant aspect of the investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car, with the Mumbai Crime Branch taking another woman into custody for questioning. The development comes after the arrest of two women in connection with the case, while investigators continue to pursue suspects across multiple states. According to officials, the woman was brought to the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch for questioning. However, investigators have not yet disclosed her alleged role in the firing incident or the nature of her links to the other accused. Earlier, two women, identified as Radha and Babita, were arrested in Delhi in connection with the case. In a parallel development, the Anti-Extortion Cell arrested three more accused from Sonipat in Haryana on Thursday. Mumbai Police have been conducting raids in different states based on intelligence inputs as part of the ongoing investigation. Following searches and arrests in Kota, Rajasthan, and Delhi, the police operation has now extended to Haryana. The three accused arrested in Sonipat have been identified as Sameer, Jatin and Ankit Khatak. The Anti-Extortion Cell brought them to Mumbai following their arrest. They are expected to be produced before a court as part of the legal proceedings. Investigators suspect that Sameer played a coordinating role in the alleged conspiracy. According to the police, he acted as a link between Anil Pandit and the alleged shooter, Rehan. Sameer is also accused of arranging funds and weapons in connection with the incident. Police sources said that shortly after the firing, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly claimed responsibility through a social media post. A man identified as Anil Pandit was reportedly posting messages on behalf of the gang, according to the information being examined by investigators. The police are continuing to investigate the precise roles of Jatin and Ankit Khatak, along with the possible involvement of other individuals in the alleged conspiracy. With the latest arrests, the total number of people arrested in the case has reportedly reached 10, including two women. The third woman remains in custody for questioning, and her alleged connection to the incident is yet to be established publicly.
Ishan Kishan Ruled Out Of Second T20I Vs NZ With Abductor Strain: BCCI
The BCCI Medical Team: India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the second T20I against New Zealand due to a low-grade right adductor strain, the BCCI said on Friday. Ishan sustained the injury during the first T20I of the series, which India won by four wickets in Christchurch. The BCCI said the medical team is monitoring Ishan's progress. Ishan Kishan is ruled out of the second T20I against New Zealand due to a low-grade right adductor strain, which he sustained during the first T20I of the series. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress, the BCCI said in a statement. In the series opener, Ishan was seen batting at No. 5 with Tilak Varma coming at No. 3. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak while addressing batting order changes, said that the wicketkeeper-batter was dealing with a groin injury. Ishan's absence in the second T20I may open the door for teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to get a place in the playing 11. There was a lot of speculation I have also seen; just because Ishan had a strain in his groin, the batting order was changed, Kotak told reporters. If Ishan doesnt play, unless he recovers completely, which the medical team will advise, Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) could definitely step in for him. He is one of the strongest contenders, he added. In the first T20I, India successfully chased down a target of 226, finishing with four wickets in hand and two balls to spare. However, the decision to send Tilak Varma in at No. 3 ahead of Ishan Kishan raised some eyebrows. Varma scored only 6 runs off 11 balls, while Kishan also struggled, lasting just three balls and managing a solitary run. Varma was dismissed by Michael Bracwell, while Kishan fell to Mitchell Santner. With Sooryavanshi graduating to the senior level after setting the IPL stage and U19 cricket on fire, the Indian T20I team has found itself in a selection headache of choosing between the fiery teenager and experienced Samson at the top of the order to pair alongside the explosive Abhishek Sharma. India have played with nearly the same teams in the recent contest T20I series against the West Indies, with the top order featuring Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan; Sooryavanshi had to warm the bench for the five-match T20I series. With Sooryavanshi graduating to the senior level after setting the IPL stage and U19 cricket on fire, the Indian T20I team has found itself in a selection headache of choosing between the fiery teenager and experienced Samson at the top of the order to pair alongside the explosive Abhishek Sharma.

World Banks SUTRA project to transform Rajasthans urban landscape
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 21 (IANS) The World Bank has prepared a proposal for the Sustainable Urban Transformation in Rajasthan Accelerated (SUTRA) project, aimed at improving urban amenities, strengthening infrastructure, promoting tourism and enhancing the financial and administrative capacities of urban local bodies across Rajasthan. The proposed project has an estimated cost of $385.7 million, equivalent to more than Rs 3,500 crore. According to the latest documentation released by the World Bank, the project will cover 32 urban local bodies across four major urban clusters, namely Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Bharatpur, along with 28 associated satellite towns. The combined population of these areas is projected to exceed 7.8 million by 2026. The initiative aims to promote planned urban development, strengthen civic infrastructure and improve access to essential services, making cities more liveable and resilient. The project proposes a range of initiatives across the four urban clusters to conserve and revitalise historical and cultural heritage, improve urban transport and connectivity, strengthen solid waste management, and upgrade civic amenities. These interventions are expected to improve urban mobility, enhance the quality of life for residents and unlock tourism potential. Given Rajasthans rich cultural heritage and its numerous historical attractions, the conservation and development of heritage areas will be an important component of the initiative. The project will also seek to address key urban challenges, including water scarcity during periods of extreme heat and waterlogging during the monsoon season. Improved infrastructure and urban services are expected to help cities respond more effectively to these recurring problems. The proposed project also aims to strengthen the financial and administrative capabilities of urban local bodies. According to World Bank documentation, measures will be introduced to improve revenue administration and debt management. Another key objective is to enhance the borrowing capacity of urban local bodies and develop mechanisms to mobilise private and commercial capital for urban infrastructure development. These measures are intended to improve the financial sustainability of municipal institutions and support long-term investment in urban services. The Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) will serve as the implementing agency for SUTRA. According to the project timeline outlined in the documentation, the World Bank is expected to review the project's technical design by December 10, while formal approval by its Board is anticipated by July 2, 2027. The proposed financing package includes a $270 million loan from the World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), supplemented by $115.7 million in funding from the Rajasthan government. The initiative is expected to provide a framework for coordinated urban development across the selected clusters, with an emphasis on improved infrastructure, stronger municipal governance and more sustainable cities.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) A new angle has emerged in the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car, with preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused reportedly revealing that the actor was not their original target and that they had initially planned to attack another prominent Bollywood personality. Mumbai Police sources said the accused had travelled to Mumbai with the intention of targeting another celebrity. However, after finding it difficult to reach their intended target, they allegedly shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff. Investigators have reportedly found that the accused learned about the actor's security arrangements through Instagram reels uploaded by his fans. The videos allegedly indicated that the 36-year-old actor did not usually have police security accompanying him, prompting the attackers to consider him an easier target, sources added. During preliminary questioning, the accused, according to sources, disclosed that they wanted to kill the actor to spread fear in the Bollywood industry. According to sources, the attackers also conducted reconnaissance by monitoring Tiger Shroff's movements through his Instagram account and posts and videos shared by his fans. The firing took place on a busy Sunday evening and was captured on video. The actor, son of veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, escaped relatively unhurt. However, his driver and a bystander sustained injuries in the incident. According to Mumbai Police, five to six rounds were fired at the actor's car. A motorcycle allegedly used by the shooters was subsequently recovered in an abandoned condition in Andheri. Following the attack, the accused reportedly fled to Gujarat's Surat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. However, Mumbai Police arrested the three accused in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the case. Two of the arrested accused have been identified as Ritik, alias Roshan, from Begusarai in Bihar, and Rehan from Sonipat in Haryana. Police have registered a case under charges of attempted murder and relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Investigators are also examining the alleged links between the accused and members of organised criminal networks. Police said Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack in an unverified social media post. Meanwhile, a purported audio clip allegedly featuring Pandit, a 32-year-old US-based gangster from Panipat, has circulated widely on media platforms. In the recording, he allegedly claims that Tiger Shroff was targeted for ignoring warnings against working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, the authenticity of the audio clip has not been independently verified. Police are continuing to interrogate the arrested accused to establish the motive, identify the original intended target and ascertain the wider conspiracy behind the attack.
After the shooting in Juhu, the accused reportedly travelled via Andheri, Kandivali and Surat before being arrested at Kota railway station in Rajasthan. Police are investigating a possible link between one of the suspects and an alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang associate.
