Shraddha Dubey reveals escape route, admits Amir's role in Shiva Sharma murder case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Model Shraddha Dubey, the prime accused in the murder of Shiva Sharma, has revealed details of her escape route and admitted that her boyfriend, Amir, had helped her evade the police, according to officials. During hours of interrogation, Dubey disclosed several details but remained silent on certain aspects of the case. She was subsequently sent to jail. Investigators suspect that she kept her driver, Danish, with her to prevent him from revealing her secrets. She used him as a shield and a means of facilitating her escape. In her statement to the police, Dubey admitted to travelling to Kanpur and Agra. On October 18, she reportedly visited a hotel in Kanpur to book a room. However, when the hotel staff asked her to produce identification, she left without completing the booking. Dubey feared that if her photograph went viral following the murder case, the hotel staff might recognise her and inform the police. She subsequently booked a car and left for Nagpur without staying at the hotel. She managed to evade the police for 11 days. Although she was fond of staying in large, luxurious hotels, she reportedly chose smaller hotels and lounges where identification documents were not required to avoid disclosing her identity. Dubey also travelled to Rae Bareli but could not reach her home. Fearing that she might flee abroad, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) issued a lookout circular. During interrogation, Dubey reportedly admitted that Amir had been accompanying her since Lucknow and had helped her enter Nepal through Bahraich. Following her statement, the police are likely to add Amir's name to the First Information Report (FIR). Preparations are also underway to announce a reward for information leading to his arrest. According to the DCP (Central), investigators are identifying people who allegedly helped Dubey and the other accused evade the police. Strict action will be taken against those found assisting them. Investigators have also learnt that Dubey remained in contact with several people at the locations she visited. Police suspect that someone was continuously guiding her and helping her avoid arrest. The DCP personally interrogated Dubey for hours. During questioning, she reportedly refrained from naming anyone and repeatedly complained of difficulty in breathing and speaking. Meanwhile, Dubey was arrested in Nagpur by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) and Lucknow Police, officials said on Tuesday. She had been on the run since October 9, when Sharma allegedly fell from the balcony of an apartment in Lucknow's Hazratganj area. His death was initially treated as an accidental fall, but later became a suspected murder case after his family alleged that he had been assaulted and tortured before being thrown from the building.

'Fearing freedom': Shiv Sena(UBT) criticises Centre over CJP activists' arrest in 'Saamana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Friday accused the BJP government at the Centre of suffering from 'deep insecurity' and establishing a virtual Police Raj in the country. The party criticised the arrest and seven-day detention of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) youth activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who were jailed for carrying the National Flag and protesting peacefully at Delhis historic Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Thackray camp, in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, Samaana, questioned whether the government is afraid of peaceful democratic protests or terrified of young citizens holding the Indian National Flag. It condemned the government for systematically seizing public protest venues -- from Mumbai and Delhi to Patna, Lucknow, and Kolkata -- denouncing it as the outright choking of democracy. Pointing out a stark contrast, the editorial highlighted that while courts lecture idealist youths holding the Tricolour, justice appears surprisingly lenient towards perpetrators of grave crimes, citing the case of rape-convicted former politician Kuldeep Sengar, whose sentence was suspended by a judge on the bench. The editorial criticised the administration for using uniformed forces and political loyalists to suppress dissent, asserting that politicians once faced protesters directly, whereas the current regime hides behind barricades, police forces, and court injunctions. The editorial detailed how CJP activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were locked up in Tihar Jail after defying prohibitory orders issued by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who unilaterally removed Jantar Mantar from the list of approved protest sites. The children did not go to Jantar Mantar to play 'Dandiya'; they went to raise their voice against corrupt electoral practices. If the government were truly generous and democratic, would it lock down Jantar Mantar? Asking protesters to seek government permission before rallying against state injustice is absurd -- would a despotic regime ever grant permission for a protest against itself? questioned the editorial. Refuting arguments that unscrupulous elements might infiltrate public rallies -- a rationale cited to justify police clearances -- the Thackeray camp pointed out that prominent leaders such as Sonam Wangchuk, opposition MPs, and Parakala Prabhakar (the economist and husband of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman) have all taken to the streets. Are these individuals also 'troublemakers'? the editorial asked, alleging that actual violence stems from government-backed elements clad in khaki executing crackdowns on students. Expressing deep disappointment over the High Courts lecturing young idealists about student unrest in France or Albania, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena urged the judiciary to look at the root cause rather than the symptoms. The editorial asserted that the policy under the current leadership has become clear -- citizens must not ask questions, nor should they demand accountability. The editorial concluded that when a government begins fearing peaceful, nation-loving youths holding the Tricolour, it signals not strength but the peak of political paranoia -- a phenomenon uniquely characteristic of the Modi-Shah administration.
UP CEO prepares graduate, teachers electoral rolls online for first time, enrols 14.81 lakh voters
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 23 (IANS) In a first for Uttar Pradesh, the State Election Commission has prepared the electoral rolls for Legislative Council Graduate and Teachers constituencies entirely online, introducing a digital system for voter registration, electoral roll preparation and access to polling station details. The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Uttar Pradesh, shared the development in a post on X, highlighting the states efforts to make the electoral registration process more accessible, transparent and convenient for voters. For the first time in the history of Uttar Pradesh, the electoral rolls for the Graduate and Teacher constituencies have been prepared online. Voters were also provided with the facility to submit applications online. They were able to access information regarding their designated polling station and voter serial number from their homes, it said. According to the CEOs office, the entire process of preparing the electoral rolls for the Legislative Council Graduate and Teachers constituencies was carried out online through the official website, www.ceouttarpradesh.nic.in. Previously, electoral rolls for these elections were prepared manually at the district level. The initiative was undertaken in accordance with the Election Commission of Indias instructions dated September 5, 2016, which called for an online application facility on the Chief Electoral Officers website to enable all eligible individuals to register as voters. For the first time, a dedicated online portal was developed to allow applicants to complete their registration forms from home. Based on the qualifying date of November 1, 2025, a total of 3,43,355 applicants registered online. This included 2,91,273 applicants in the Graduate constituency category and 52,082 in the Teachers constituency category. The final electoral rolls were prepared online and published on January 6, 2026. They were also made available on the websites of the respective District Election Officers. Following the publication of the final rolls, applications for the inclusion, deletion and correction of names were submitted to the offices of Assistant Electoral Registration Officers. The CEOs office noted that supplementary rolls had not previously been made available online, making it difficult for the general public and political parties to track additions, deletions and corrections. Before the announcement of the election, all pending applications were disposed of, and the final electoral rolls were published online. Following this exercise, the electoral rolls for the Graduate and Teachers constituencies contained a total of 14,81,310 electors. In another voter-friendly initiative, a portal was introduced to help electors find their polling station and voter serial number without visiting an election office. The registration portal became operational on October 1, 2025, and was developed in just four months by the IT team of the Chief Electoral Officers office, with assistance from technical experts. According to reports received from the districts, fewer than 150 electors had names or the names of their relatives printed incorrectly. The office said this represented less than 0.01 per cent of the total electorate, describing the number of errors as very low.

Flaunting his pumped-up biceps, the 'Udaan' actor was seen looking away from the camera, gazing sharply at something. Ronit wrote the caption, Chalo yaar..Navaratri ke laddo, pede, kaju katli, samose, kachori, chole puri, halwa puri.sab calories jalaana hai! Kaam pe lag gaye bandhu! (sic). Recently, Ronit was seen attending the Durga Puja celebration with his wife, brother Rohit Roy, and Rohit's wife, Manasi Joshi.

Two sentenced to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment in 2017 Barabanki drug trafficking case
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 21 (IANS) Two drug traffickers have been convicted and sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment in a 2017 narcotics case involving the seizure of 340 grams of heroin and 160 grams of ganja in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki, officials said on Wednesday. In a significant success in the fight against drug trafficking, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Lucknow, has secured the conviction of two accused in a 2017 Barabanki case involving the seizure of 340 grams of heroin and 160 grams of ganja, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said in a statement on Wednesday. Announcing the conviction, the NCB said its Lucknow unit had secured the verdict in the case after a prolonged legal process. The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Barabanki, delivered the sentence on October 19, holding both accused guilty of their involvement in illicit drug trafficking. The convicts have been identified as Shakeel, a resident of Chandwara village under the Safdarganj police station area of Barabanki, and Rampyari, who hails from Palhari village in the same police station area. The case dates back to May 27, 2017, when the NCB's Lucknow unit, acting on specific intelligence inputs, conducted an operation at Barabanki Railway Station and seized the heroin and ganja from a railway platform. According to the agency, the contraband was recovered from black-coloured bags that were found in the conscious possession of Rampyari and Shakeel. The two accused were travelling aboard the Avadh Assam Express and were getting off the train at Barabanki Railway Station when the seizure was made. Investigation revealed that the seized contraband had been transported from Dimapur, Nagaland to Barabanki, officials said. During the trial, the prosecution highlighted the seriousness of the offence and the wider consequences of illegal drug trafficking. The NCB said it stressed the grave nature of narcotics-related crimes, their harmful impact on society and the need for strict punishment to deter those involved in the illicit trade. During the course of arguments, the agency sought stringent punishment for the accused, emphasising the importance of taking firm action against individuals involved in transporting and distributing illegal narcotic substances. After examining the evidence on record and the circumstances of the case, the court convicted both accused and sentenced them to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. The Court found the accused persons guilty of their involvement in illicit drug trafficking, an official said. The conviction reaffirms the NCB's commitment to adopting a zero-tolerance approach towards drug trafficking and its continued resolve to realise the vision of a Drug-Free India, the agency said. The NCB also appealed to members of the public to report information related to drug trafficking through the MANAS National Narcotics Helpline at 1933. The agency reiterated that the identities of informers would be kept strictly confidential.
1st T20I: India Battle Jet Lag As Tough NZ Test Awaits In Christchurch (Preview)
Their Asian Games: Days after a rain-hit draw against the West Indies at home led to the series ending in a 2-2 draw, a jetlagged India will take on a strong New Zealand in the first of five T20Is here at the Hagley Oval on Thursday. The schedule has given India little breathing space. Their Asian Games gold medal-winning campaign in Japan ended on October 3, before the home series against the West Indies began three days later in Lucknow, and the decider was washed out in Bengaluru on October 17. The side has managed just one training session in Christchurch, and the situation will feel uncomfortably familiar to Iyer. In his first assignment as captain, India landed in Ireland without Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya and lost 0-2, their first defeat to the hosts in any format. England then beat them as well and exposed their shortcomings on pitches with some spice. Bumrah and Hardik are missing again. Bumrah has been rested with the Test series in mind, while Hardik has not played international cricket since the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad in March, when India racked up 255 on their way to retaining the title at home. The hosts, however, have reason to feel confident. They won their most recent Test and ODI series in India and will have most of their first-choice players available for the first time since that final in Ahmedabad. Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra are out injured, which is likely to open up a top-three spot for Devon Conway alongside Finn Allen and Tim Seifert. Allen will be playing a T20 at home for the first time since March 2025. The explosive opener averages 35.68 at a strike rate of 184.21 in New Zealand. The hosts are also well stocked with pace bowling options via Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson, Kyle Jamieson and Blair Tickner. India's most pressing problem is the make-up of their XI. Their spin-bowling all-rounders may not be as effective away from Asia, and India could leave out Naman Dhir, who impressed against the West Indies, to fit in both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shivam Dube. Recalled pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is expected to play, while a fit-again Varun Chakaravarthy could miss out if the team management opts for a third seamer in Prince Yadav. Conditions could also take some getting used to for the Iyer-led Indian team. Days have been pleasant with bright sunshine, but it is expected to turn chilly by the 8pm start time, and fresh early-season pitches could offer something to the seamers. Dew may also tempt captains to opt to chase. History, though, favours India a little bit. They have won their last two bilateral T20I series in New Zealand and 16 of their 20 completed matches against the Black Caps since January 2020. Ishan Kishan needs seven runs to go past Suryakumar Yadav's 1,164 for the most T20I runs by an Indian in a calendar year, and it remains to be seen if this happens in front of a sell-out crowd on Thursday. When: October 22, 2026, 12:30 PM Where: Hagley Oval, Christchurch Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads India: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

IPL 2027: Former India Leg-spinner Amit Mishra Joins Delhi Capitals As Spin-bowling Coach
GMR Sports India Pvt Ltd: Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra has been appointed as the spin-bowling coach of Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2027 IPL season. The appointment means Mishra returns to a new role to the franchise with which he began his IPL journey. Mishra, 43, retired from all forms of the game in September 2025 and will be taking up a coaching assignment in the league for the first time. I don't know about legends, but I did really decent in IPL. Dilli dilwallon ki hai (Delhi is of the people with a large heart). When the first season of IPL was held, I was a part of DC. Today, when I am starting my coaching career, it's also with the DC team, and so, I am very happy. A tiger is the one who never leaves his prey. Dilli is my heartbeat. We will try to give the happiness to the Dilli fans, which they have been waiting for these many years, Mishra said in a video posted on the franchise's social media handles on Wednesday. Delhi Capitals, who finished sixth in 2026, are yet to win the IPL title. Mishra's IPL career got off to a memorable start in 2008, when he picked up a five-wicket haul in his first match, a spell that included the first of his three hat-tricks in the tournament. He went on to take further hat-tricks in 2011 and 2013 as well. No bowler has taken more hat-tricks in the league's history than Mishra, who turned out for Haryana in domestic cricket. Known for his flighted, slow leg-breaks, Mishra featured in every IPL season from 2008 to 2024 barring 2022, representing Delhi Capitals (previously known as Daredevils), Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. He played his last IPL match for LSG in 2024 and finished his IPL playing career with 174 wickets from 162 matches at an economy rate of 7.37. Mishra represented India across formats between 2003 and 2017 playing in 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20Is, respectively. IANS had reported on September 14 that Mishra, along with fast bowling coach Chaminda Vaas and assistant-cum-batting coach Yuvraj Singh, were present at the franchise's short camp-cum-trials at a ground in Aerocity. The overhaul of the support staff stems from an arrangement between DC's co-owners, GMR Sports India Pvt Ltd and JSW Sports, reached after IPL 2024, under which each partner runs the franchise's cricket operations in alternate two-year cycles. IANS had reported on September 14 that Mishra, along with fast bowling coach Chaminda Vaas and assistant-cum-batting coach Yuvraj Singh, were present at the franchise's short camp-cum-trials at a ground in Aerocity.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 20 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) President, Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday targeted the BJP on Dussehra, saying the fight against evil should begin in Uttar Pradesh, and flagged off the party's PDA (Backward Classes, Dalits and minorities) campaign vehicles in preparation for the Assembly elections in the state in 2027. Flagging off the vehicles at the SP headquarters here, Yadav accused the BJP of undermining social justice, people's rights and democratic institutions. He also urged party workers to ensure that electoral rolls were accurate and announced that the SP would release its manifesto on November 26, Constitution Day. The vehicles were flagged off after a ceremonial coconut-breaking ritual, accompanied by conch-blowing and chanting of mantras. The campaign aims to reach young people, marginalised communities and those seeking justice. Today, we should resolve to eradicate evil from this land forever. The initiative should begin in Uttar Pradesh, Yadav said, extending Dussehra greetings. Invoking Lord Ram, he said Ram Rajya and socialism were complementary ideals. Those who bring goodness to the world are Sanatanis, while those who do evil are fake Sanatanis, he said. Yadav also accused the BJP of misusing Artificial Intelligence (AI), alleging that a video depicting him as Ravana had been circulated by the party early in the morning. Calling monitoring of electoral roll revision a priority, he said the party could not win the political battle without ensuring that voter lists were accurate. He asked workers to verify entries and remain vigilant throughout the revision process and until the nomination stage. The SP chief demanded the release of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and others who, he claimed, had been unnecessarily detained. He accused the BJP of using pressure to keep them behind bars. Questioning the Election Commission's handling of alleged duplicate voter entries, Yadav claimed that officials responsible for irregularities were not being held accountable. He also raised issues of waterlogging in Lucknow, the education system and food adulteration, accusing the BJP of pursuing divisive politics. On seat-sharing ahead of the Assembly elections, Yadav questioned how many seats the BJP would allocate to its ally, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), and how it would accommodate other partners. He claimed the BJP feared losing its political foothold in Uttar Pradesh. The SP's PDA campaign launch and the announcement of its manifesto date signal the party's preparations for the Assembly elections, with social justice, constitutional values and electoral roll verification featuring prominently in its agenda.
