Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) The four accused, including two women, arrested in connection with the Tiger Shroff firing case were produced before a magistrate's court on Thursday. The court has now sent the suspects to Police custody till Oct 26. The Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused in the firing incident on October 20. The four suspects arrested have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, from Sonipat (Haryana), Radha, 23, from Sitapur (Uttar Pradesh), and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh). If the reports are to be believed, the accused fled to Surat in Gujarat after the incident and boarded a Jaipur-bound train from there. The suspects reportedly planned to go to New Delhi and eventually escape to Nepal from there. However, they were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, before they reached Delhi. Meanwhile, the police sources also claimed that the accused practised shooting before the attack. The reports also suggest that a misfire took place while they were testing the weapon in their hotel room in Mumbai's Andheri area. The Mumbai Police sources further revealed that the accused disclosed during the interrogation the location where they had test-fired the weapon. The weapons were reportedly test-fired as the accused wanted to ensure that the firearm was functioning properly before carrying out the attack on Tiger.

It was also revealed during the investigation that a misfire occurred while the accused were testing the gun in their hotel room in Andheri.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday said that he has failed to understand the reasons behind opposition parties' criticism of India hosting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Mumbai. He also listed past instances when leaders have met foreign leaders outside Delhi. I didn't get that. They don't like Mumbai? I mean, they have something against Mumbai? I think it is a great city, it is our financial capital. It is our Bollywood capital. It has got so much going for it. Maybe Mumbai doesn't like them... I have no idea why they have this reservation, said EAM Jaishankar while speaking at the NDTV World Summit. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had last week taken a swipe at the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rubio's meeting EAM Jaishankar in Mumbai, terming it as summoning. EAM Jaishankar then went on to list a few examples when India has hosted visiting foreign leaders outside Delhi. If going out of Delhi to meet a foreign leader or a foreign counterpart is summoning, I can give you a lot of examples. Mrs (Indira) Gandhi went to Shimla to meet Bhutto. Was she summoned? Salman Khurshid went to Jaipur to meet a Pakistan PM. Was he summoned? he asked. We are adults, let's have an adult conversation. Let's leave, you know, said EAM Jaishankar amid a round of applause from the gathering at the venue. EAM Jaishankar hosted counterparts from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States in Mumbai on October 19-20 and also attended the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the US as a Guest of Honour. Last week, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had also dismissed any criticism about the choice of Mumbai as a venue for EAM Jaishankar's bilateral engagements. It has been the practice for the last decade or so that we have hosted foreign dignitaries outside Delhi. To just give you some examples, Prime Minister hosted the Prime Minister of Spain in Baroda. He hosted Chancellor Merz in Ahmedabad. Prime Minister of Mauritius was hosted by him in Varanasi, and the External Affairs Minister hosted the SCO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Goa. He hosted the Foreign Minister of Botswana in Kevadia in Gujarat, and the External Affairs Minister also hosted the Heart of Asia Conference in Amritsar. So, that was just to give you a few examples of the meetings of leaders, of dignitaries that have happened outside of Delhi, stated MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal during a bi-weekly media briefing in New Delhi on Friday. /as

Ranbir Kapoor brought a regal touch to promotional activities for Ramayana in Hyderabad, where he attended a special event along with the team of the film. Staying true to his understated approach to fashion, the actor opted for a traditional silhouette with contemporary detailing, allowing his carefully chosen accessories to add character to the ensemble. The standout element, however, was his Jacob & Co. timepiece, reportedly worth approximately Rs. 35.88 lakhs. For the occasion, Ranbir wore a bespoke midnight-blue bandhgala featuring a raised mandarin collar and a sharply tailored fit. Layered over a crisp white shirt, the textured jacket offered a polished take on festive dressing without relying on a conventional suit-and-tie combination. The deep blue shade lent the look a formal finish, while the traditional Indian silhouette complemented the events cinematic setting. The actor elevated the ensemble with a distinctive bird-shaped brooch embellished with stones and finished with a droplet emerald. A gold-toned button detail added another accent to the jacket. He completed the look with amber-tinted tortoiseshell glasses, a single hoop earring and neatly groomed hair, keeping the overall styling restrained while allowing the finer details to stand out. The most notable accessory was the Jacob & Co. Epic X Sher-e-Punjab Gold Edition watch, reference EX113.43.AE.AA.ABRUA. The exclusive timepiece features a 44 mm rose-gold-toned case and an open-worked skeleton design that reveals the mechanical movement beneath the sapphire crystal. Its construction places the movement at the centre of the design, giving the watch a distinctive architectural appearance. The timepiece also incorporates symbolic detailing, including engravings of the Ek Onkar, a roaring lion emblem and the Khanda. These elements distinguish the edition, while its royal-blue honeycomb rubber strap echoed the colour palette of Ranbirs bandhgala. With an approximate reported price of Rs. 35,88,000, the watch became a statement piece in an otherwise carefully balanced look. Ranbirs Hyderabad appearance comes ahead of the theatrical release of Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026, with Ranbir playing Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portraying Sita and Yash appearing as Ravana. The two-part adaptation is set to continue with Ramayana: Part Two, scheduled for a theatrical release on Diwali 2027. At the promotional event, Ranbirs ensemble offered a considered blend of Indian formalwear and luxury accessories, with the blue bandhgala and statement watch serving as the defining elements of his appearance.

This marks the return of Radhika to Netflix. There's a running joke on the internet since years that how a Netflix title mostly features Radhika Apte without fail. Radhika spoke about it and raised laughs. Radhika Apte said, It's homecoming (laughs)! On a serious note, I genuinely feel at home. There was a time when people would ask whether I hold any shares (in Netflix)! In the beginning, people did ask me that question, 'Do you hold shares?'. I was like, 'Of course I don't hold shares on Netflix'. But people (don't believe me) and they say 'You do' (laughs)! Keerthy Suresh suggested to Radhika, You should say you do (own shares). Radhika joked, I should say, 'I own it'! Tanya Bami amazed the attendees as she revealed, I am sure you know that the meeting rooms in our office are named after our shows. But one room is named after Radhika! Radhika Apte stated, Yes, there is (laughs)! I was very proud. I went there and they told me, 'Come, come, see' and I saw names of other actors as well. I asked 'Why are their names there?'! I am kidding (laughs). She continued, But there's a room in my name. It was very nice. I sat in there to discuss something once. Akka marks Radhika Apte's sixth title on Netflix. The previous collaborations were Lust Stories, Raat Akeli Hai, Monica O My Darling and Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders. Many of her theatrical releases have also found a home on Netflix. Akka releases on October 30. Also Read: Akka trailer: Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte lock horns in Netflixs gangster drama

Harry Brook Smashes Fastest-ever ODI Double Century, Breaks Shubman Gill's Record
Pakistan ODI Tri: Harry Brook's love affair with Pakistan grounds reached a historic moment when the England white-ball skipper smashed the fastest-ever ODI double century during the Tri-series match against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday. Brook hit a 114-ball double hundred during England's second match of the tri-series as he broke the record for the fastest ODI double century, which previously belonged to India captain Shubman Gill, who had smoked a 117-ball double hundred against the West Indies in Guwahati earlier this year. Brook, who has enjoyed time in Pakistan, ripped apart the Sri Lankan bowling attack with his attacking stroke-play. He completed his double ton in the last over of the innings and was dismissed on the final ball but not before scoring a breathtaking knock. The English skipper made 202 from 116 balls, laced with 10 sixes and 21 fours as he put the Sri Lankan bowlers to the sword. Although Brook was brutal to almost everyone, he meted out special treatment to Eshan Malinga, Dasun Shanaka and Janith Liyanage, all of whom he went at at a strike rate of over 200. Brook's has now become the first England player to hit a double hundred as Ben Stokes held the previous highest ODI score by an English cricketer, having scored 182 against New Zealand in 2023 at The Oval. Meanwhile, he is also the second non-opener to hit an ODI double hundred after Glenn Maxwell had smashed that magical double century against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup. His knock powered England to 429/4, their eighth 400-plus total and to their fourth-highest ODI score. England's world record of 498/4 against the Netherlands is their highest, while England have made 481/6 against Australia and 444/3 against Pakistan. Fastest ODI double centuries (by balls): 114 - Harry Brook vs SL, Rawalpindi, 2026 117 - Shubman Gill vs WI, Guwahati, 2026 126 - Ishan Kishan vs BAN, Chattogram, 2022 128 - Glenn Maxwell vs AFG, Mumbai WS, 2023 126 - Ishan Kishan vs BAN, Chattogram, 2022 Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
