NCP cadre demoralised over Pune Graduates seat loss: Praful Patel
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 7 (IANS) Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) national working president Praful Patel on Wednesday said it was demoralising for party workers across five districts, particularly in western Maharashtra, that the party did not retain the Pune Graduates Constituency for the Legislative Council election scheduled for October 23. Patel made the remarks a day after Maharashtra NCP president and Lok Sabha MP Sunil Tatkare termed the party's failure to secure the Pune Graduates Constituency within the ruling Mahayuti alliance a collective failure. It is certainly demoralising for our cadre in the five districts under which the Pune Graduates Constituency falls. The seat was with us, and we had won it on our symbol in the previous election, Patel said when asked about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contesting the seat instead of the NCP. Patel said the decision was finalised in a meeting involving Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the two Deputy Chief Ministers, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. But now that the decision has been made, it will be contested as a Mahayuti seat, he said. Patel's remarks come amid claims by party sources that no prior meeting was held with senior NCP leaders before discussions on the matter took place. Party sources also pointed to the example of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who, despite the BJP announcing its candidate for the Pune Teachers' Constituency, allotted a ticket to Mangesh Chivate. According to a senior party leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, several leaders had suggested that the NCP should avoid making any commitment regarding the Pune Graduates seat as it previously belonged to the party. The leader claimed that negotiations involved only a limited number of leaders before the decision was finalised. The source further said that Shinde had fielded his party worker despite pressure from the BJP and had kept the window for negotiations open. On Tuesday, NCP state president Sunil Tatkare termed the development a collective failure. The Pune Graduates Constituency seat rightly belonged to the Nationalist Congress Party. However, it is a fact that the party did not get this seat. We must have fallen short somewhere, and this must be considered a collective failure, Tatkare had said on the last day for filing nominations for the Council elections. United NCP's Arun Lad had won the seat on the Clock symbol six years ago. His son, Sharad Lad, later joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and was reportedly interested in contesting the seat. The BJP ultimately secured the seat and fielded Smita Jadhav as its candidate. Meanwhile, senior BJP leader and Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil has been appointed the overall campaign chief for the Mahayuti alliance for both the Pune Graduates and Pune Teachers constituencies. As far as the Maha Vikas Aghadi is concerned, its leaders, including Congress leader Satej Patil, are seeking to capitalise on cross-party rebellions within the Mahayuti to rally graduate voters across the Pune division, comprising Pune, Satara, Sangli, Solapur and Kolhapur districts. The Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction issued AB forms to both Pradeep Mane and Harshada Deshmukh-Jadhav ahead of the final nomination deadline as a tactical move.

Assam: ED attaches Rs 2.12 crore in digital arrest cyber fraud case
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Oct 7 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has provisionally attached bank balances totalling around Rs 2.12 crore in 43 accounts in connection with a cyber fraud involving the alleged digital arrest of a senior citizen in Guwahati, officials said on Wednesday. The ED's Guwahati Zonal Office-I issued the provisional attachment order under Section 5(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The attached balances were held in accounts with Axis Bank, Bank of India, Bandhan Bank, IndusInd Bank, Punjab National Bank and State Bank of India. According to the agency, the investigation began following an FIR registered by the Cyber Police Station, CID, Assam, Guwahati, under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000, against unidentified cyber fraudsters. The investigation revealed that between September and December 2025, the accused allegedly impersonated officials of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the Mumbai Crime Branch and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). They allegedly contacted the senior citizen through WhatsApp video calls and falsely claimed that a bank account opened using his Aadhaar details was involved in money laundering. The victim was allegedly subjected to a digital arrest, shown fabricated court proceedings and a fake Digital Arrest Warrant, and threatened with detention under the National Security Act if he disclosed the matter. The fraudsters allegedly demanded money under the pretext of an RBI inspection and later a ail bond, coercing the victim into transferring around Rs 2.13 crore through 19 transactions. The ED said the money was routed through multiple mule bank accounts held by individuals, firms and companies across the country. The funds were allegedly converted into cash and digital currency, routed through payment gateways and transferred to other accounts to conceal their trail. Tracing the proceeds of crime, the agency identified 43 bank accounts containing balances linked to the fraud and provisionally attached them to prevent further dissipation. The investigation is continuing, the ED said.
RBI rate hike to impact cost of doing business, especially for MSMEs: Industry leader
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 7 (IANS) President of the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Prof. Mahendra Kumar Chouhan, said on Wednesday said that the Reserve Bank of Indias 25-basis-point repo rate hike to 5.5 per cent is likely to raise the cost of doing business, particularly for SMEs and MSMEs, and urged the central bank to adopt a measured stance amid other underlying strengths in the economy. Chouhan said the chamber appreciated the concerns underlying the RBIs decision, noting that the rate hike was broadly along expected lines. However, he said the RBIs decision to take rate cuts off the table was a matter of concern for businesses. He said the IMC Chamber has companies of different sizes as its members, with a predominant presence of SMEs and MSMEs, which are likely to feel the impact of higher borrowing costs significantly. He appealed to the RBI to maintain a measured approach, pointing to several other strengths in the Indian economy. On the governments Rs 10,000 crore SME Growth Fund, Chouhan said the initiative would help address the funding gap faced by SMEs. Referring to SIDBI estimates, he said the funding gap for the sector is around Rs 30 trillion. According to Chouhan, the fund could support SMEs in modernising their operations, gaining access to better technology, improving productivity and exploring new markets. He said the initiative would provide an overall boost to the growth prospects of SMEs. Chouhan also highlighted the potential benefits of Indias recently signed free trade agreements. He said the Commerce Ministry had signed almost nine FTAs in the recent past, which cumulatively could open access to markets worth around $60 trillion. He said these agreements could provide Indian MSMEs with opportunities to establish business alliances with companies in the UK, European Union, UAE and other countries covered under the FTAs. Chouhan said access to the SME Growth Fund, combined with opportunities emerging from the FTAs, could enable MSMEs to invest in better technology and improve their production processes. This, in turn, could help raise productivity and strengthen the ability of Indian SMEs to compete in international markets.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 7 (IANS) Actor Rajpal Yadav had a brief light-hearted exchange with CJI Surya Kant as he appeared in the Apex Court with regards to the alleged case of fraud of INR 5 crore. On Wednesday, the actor appeared in court to present his side. He said, The matter around INR 5 crores was getting solved back in 2012 itself but these INR 5 crores have affected my INR 22 crores, and also my brand image of more than INR 250 crores. CJI then told him, Make a good movie and entertain people. Responding to the same, the actor said, Ive been entertaining people for the last 16 years and I wish to do so. From 2010 to 20 26 have already thought of a film. I am making a film on this case. The title is '16 Saawan'. Rajpal Yadav has been involved in a prolonged legal dispute stemming from a INR 5-crore loan taken in 2010 for his directorial Ata Pata Laapata. The loan was obtained from Murli Projects Pvt Ltd, and after the films poor performance, repayment became the subject of a long-running dispute. Seven cheques issued in connection with the repayment were dishonoured, leading to cheque-bounce proceedings. The actor and his wife were convicted, with the Delhi High Court upholding his conviction and a three-month sentence in July 2026. The matter subsequently reached the Supreme Court. In September, the Supreme Court directed him to deposit money toward the outstanding liability as a condition for relief. In the latest proceedings on Wednesday, the actor appeared personally before the court and brought a INR 1.15-crore demand draft, while proposing to raise the remaining amount through the sale of ancestral property. The case remains focused on repayment and the challenge to his conviction.

'I Dont Mind Playing Second Fiddle: Ishan Lauds Iyer's Approach In Maiden T20I Ton
Ekana Cricket Stadium: India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan credited skipper Shreyas Iyers attacking approach and praised debutant Naman Dhirs fearless bowling after India opened their five-match T20I series against the West Indies with an eight-wicket victory at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. While Iyers unbeaten 102 powered a successful chase of 172, Dhirs three-wicket haul helped India restrict the visitors to 171. Kishan remained unbeaten on 37 from 27 deliveries and shared an unbroken 137-run stand with Iyer for the third wicket. With India losing both openers inside the first four overs, the partnership became the defining passage of the chase, with Iyer taking charge and Kishan providing the support required to keep the innings moving. Rather than viewing his supporting role as a compromise, Kishan said it was the sensible approach once he recognised that his captain was seeing the ball exceptionally well. As a batter, when Im not looking in that great of a touch and the batter at the other end is looking in great form and is connecting the ball well, in this case Shreyas Iyer, then I dont mind playing second fiddle at all. He was scoring the bulk of the runs in our partnership, and when hes batting beautifully, its my job to let him punish the opposition bowlers. He did that job remarkably, and, in the end, we executed the run chase successfully. The plan was simple. We had a target in mind, and we broke it down into small parts. Whenever the bowler bowled in my zone, I looked to score. On the other end, Shreyas was in full flow, so we just kept the scoreboard moving. There was no panic because we knew one good over would change the game. That is what happened, and we got over the line, Kishan told JioStar. Iyers innings, which contained 10 fours and six sixes, saw him bring up his maiden T20I century off 42 balls. India completed the chase in 14.4 overs, taking an early 1-0 lead in the series. Earlier, Dhir had provided India with the breakthrough they needed during the West Indies innings. The all-rounder finished with 3/31 on debut, dismissing Shai Hope, Romario Shepherd and Shamar Springer. His response after being hit for a six particularly impressed Kishan. Having seen Dhir bowl during their Mumbai Indians association, Kishan noted the difference in the youngsters approach and said his willingness to attack despite the setback was an indication of the work he had put into his bowling. I have seen Naman bowl during my Mumbai Indians days and at that time I would say he was more of a part-time bowler. But looking at how he was bowling in this match and the confidence he had, after getting hit for a six, on your debut, you tend to go more defensive. But Naman didnt do that and kept on giving that extra flight to the opposition batters, which helped him get a couple of wickets in his debut game. Him not going defensive and attacking the batters is something that makes you understand that this player has actually worked hard on his bowling, on his skill. It shows he has the mindset to take wickets and not just survive. If he keeps bowling like this, he will go a long way, the keeper-batter added.
