Imran Khan Told To Leave India: Immigration Law Or Crackdown On Dissent?

Bollywood actor Imran Khan, Aamir Khan's nephew and a US citizen, has reportedly been asked to leave India by October 28 after being detained at a Mumbai protest demanding the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation. Is this a legitimate enforcement of immigration rules or an arbitrary action against dissent? Supreme Court advocates Colin Gonsalves and Hitesh Jain clash over the scope of Article 21, the rights of non-citizens, natural justice and whether authorities must give a person an opportunity to be heard before ordering them to leave the country. With the matter headed to court, the debate examines the balance between immigration law and personal liberty.

Payal Rohatagi calls actor Imran Khan jobless actor

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Actress Payal Rohatagi, who has been away from the screen, has made a scathing attack against actor Imran Khan, who joined the protests demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar.

Later, it was found out that the actor is not an Indian citizen, and holds Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI). The actress recently spoke with IANS, and said, Well, he should be aware that he is not supposed to be doing something so stupid. He is not an Indian citizen, he is a US citizenfirst, you are a US citizen, on top of that, you are living in India, working here, you got married, but I think you didn't take a visa, or I don't know, he's divorced or something like that. She further mentioned, So why are you going to a protest site? A lot of out-of-work actors, jobless actors go to these protests so that they can get visibility, because there all of you are present, right? Because the protest needs to be covered, so a lot of jobless actors go there. Earlier in the day, it was reported that the actor, who was directed by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to leave India by October 28, will approach the Bombay High Court to challenge the notice issued by the FRRO. The actor was ordered to leave India over his allegedly unlawful participation in the recent August Kranti Maidan protests, which demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The FRRO stated in its order that the actor allegedly violated the Foreigners Act by participating in the protests as he is not an Indian citizen, and holds Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI). The actor was issued a notice to leave the country days after he participated in a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Action has been taken against Imran under Sections 7 and 29 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, and the actor has received a copy of the notice. The actor was detained by the police on October 10 in connection with the protest.

SEBI seeks inclusion of insurance data in consolidated account statements: Tuhin Kanta Pandey

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Thursday said the market regulator has approached the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) to include insurance-related information in consolidated account statements, a move aimed at giving investors a more comprehensive view of their financial holdings. Speaking on the sidelines of Sahamati's Annual Conference, Pandey said the initiative is part of efforts to provide investors with a unified view of their financial assets and liabilities. He noted that the account aggregator framework could play a key role in integrating data across various financial products and further strengthening the utility of consolidated account statements. At present, investors can access details of their securities holdings, mutual fund investments, stock portfolios across brokers and National Pension System (NPS) accounts through consolidated statements. Pandey said SEBI is also working on incorporating bank deposit information into the framework following the Reserve Bank of India's decision to allow SEBI-regulated depositories continuous access to such data. The regulator is currently examining the technical aspects required for the integration. According to the SEBI chief, expanding the scope of consolidated account statements would enable investors to view a broader range of financial assets in one place, helping them make more informed investment decisions and facilitating better financial planning based on their overall portfolios. On the issue of merchant discount rate (MDR), Pandey said discussions between SEBI and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) were continuing after the recent deferment of the fee. When asked whether the regulator had made representations to NPCI on behalf of capital market participants, he said talks were still underway. The SEBI chairman also emphasised the importance of investor awareness and financial literacy. He said the regulator has been leveraging digital platforms and multilingual communication channels to reach a wider audience across the country. As part of these efforts, SEBI has disseminated nearly 440 million investor awareness messages over the past nine days. Separately, Pandey said SEBI is examining measures to strengthen the securities lending and borrowing mechanism (SLBM), which facilitates short selling in the capital markets. A working group constituted for the purpose has conducted meetings and is evaluating various proposals.

The 17-year-old Jagsher Singh, who hails from Nabha town in Punjab, defeated Jhuang 6-15, 17-15, 15-12 in 48 minutes to become the ninth boys singles player from India to finish on the podium. India have so far won one gold, five silver and six bronze, and the 14th seeded Jagsher Singh will hope to go the distance as he faces 31st seed Radithya Bayu Wardhana of Indonesia in the semifinals on Saturday. Shaina Manimuthu also had a chance of assuring India a medal in the girls singles category, but the Asian U17 silver medallist went down 15-5, 15-8 against Chinas Yi Qing Yin in the quarterfinals. Punjab youngster Jagsher Singh Khangurra is a former under-17 national champion and Asian medallist in his age-group. He came into prominence with a medal in the under-15 nationals two years back and has since gone from strength to strength, turning his casual interest in the game into a passion and a possible career option. After getting initial training at an academy in Bahadurgarh and then at the Uday Pawar Academy in Mumbai, Jagsher Singh has been associated with the Centre of Excellence in Bangalore under former national coach Vimal Kumar for the last two years.

Maha CM directs launch of digital service platform

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday directed all concerned government departments and MahaIT to work in close coordination to ensure citizens receive state government services seamlessly through digital channels. In a high-level meeting, he instructed officials to complete all pending tasks by December 31 to facilitate the official launch of the unified digital service platform for 'MahaDBT 2.0', 'Maitri 2.0', and 'Aaple Sarkar 2.0' on January 26. He chaired a review meeting regarding the streamlining and consolidation of services on these portals. CM Fadnavis highlighted that the government has structured an 'end-to-end' digital platform. The backend needs robust development in accordance with Governance Process Re-engineering (GPR) standards to ensure effective ground-level service delivery. Once fully operational, this automated setup will reduce the daily administrative workload on state departments by 50 per cent, eliminating the need for citizens to physically visit government offices, he said. Departments were instructed to refrain from making frequent changes to requirements during the development phase. Concurrently, MahaIT has been tasked with aligning technical developments with departmental requirements and establishing a time-bound redressal mechanism for operational challenges, he noted. Once approved by the High-Powered Committee, departments must issue the official Government Resolution (GR) within 3 days and work on reverse timeline planning to resolve backlog work, he noted. Receiving direct, positive feedback from citizens confirming that services are good and hassle-free is the true benchmark of this digital platform's success. Merely achieving technical completion will not suffice until citizens experience a positive transformation, stated CM Fadnavis. Out of 1,222 reviewed services, 723 services have been rationalised. This includes removing 32 non-services, 83 obsolete services, 51 immediate services, and consolidating 333 duplicate/supplementary services. Processing is underway for 467 services across 46 sub-departments following committee approval. A data-driven model is proposed to proactively identify prospective pension beneficiaries, with 8,90,000 potential beneficiaries identified statewide, said the government release. Integration between the Sports E-Certificate system and the State Education Board to auto-include verified sports grace marks directly in student exam results. Nearly 130 schemes across various state corporations will be brought onto MahaDBT 2.0 with standardised applications. Launching 'MahaHostel'a consolidated platform for over 1,700 hostels under 9 departmentsand a unified registration portal with 'One Contractor, One ID' will be for all government procurement and contracts. Out of 32,479 active service centres statewide, 17,517 centres submitted reports meeting standardised criteria, and verification is complete for 12,824 centres. Centres are being classified into four categories'Smart', 'Capable' (Saksham), 'Emerging' (Udayonmukh), and 'Striving' (Prayatnashil)evaluated on parameters like application volume, operational days, approval rate, public feedback, and quality standards. Outstanding 'Smart' centres will be formally honoured and felicitated on January 26, 2027, said the release.

From Jaideep Ahlawat to Adarsh Gourav: 5 actors showcasing their range across films and streaming

Across films and streaming, several actors have built filmographies by moving between different genres, characters and storytelling formats. From crime dramas and thrillers to comedy, mythology and relationship-driven stories, these five performers have taken on roles that offer a varied look at their acting abilities. Jaideep Ahlawat Jaideep Ahlawat has moved across a range of characters during his career. In Raazi, he played intelligence officer Khalid Mir, while Paatal Lok saw him take on the role of police inspector Hathiram Chaudhary, a performance that brought him wider recognition. The two characters operate in very different worlds, allowing Ahlawat to explore contrasting approaches to authority, conflict and vulnerability. His subsequent work has continued to place him in varied dramatic settings across films and streaming projects. Suhail Nayyar Suhail Nayyar has worked across genres ranging from comedy and drama to horror and mythology. His filmography includes Udta Punjab, Hotel Mumbai, Sharmaji Namkeen and Murder Mubarak, followed by projects such as Jee Karda and the espionage thriller Saare Jahan Se Accha. His upcoming slate also includes Udta Teer, Single Papa Season 2 and Vir Das found-footage psychological horror film Baara Number. He is also part of Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana: Part Two, where he plays Sugriva. Manoj Bajpayee Manoj Bajpayees filmography includes characters that have ranged from gangsters and police officers to academics and ordinary men caught in difficult circumstances. His portrayal of Bhiku Mhatre in Satya remains among his best-known performances, while Aligarh saw him play Professor Ramchandra Siras in a restrained drama. With The Family Man, Bajpayee took on the role of intelligence officer Srikant Tiwari, balancing action and humour with the characters responsibilities at home. His performances in films such as Joram and Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai have further added to a body of work spanning very different characters and narratives. Adarsh Gourav Adarsh Gourav has moved between projects that differ in setting, tone and scale. He played Balram Halwai in The White Tiger, a role that earned him a BAFTA nomination for Leading Actor. In Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Gourav portrayed Neil, a fitness trainer navigating personal relationships and professional ambitions in Mumbai. He later appeared in Reema Kagtis Superboys of Malegaon as Nasir, a young man pursuing his filmmaking ambitions with a group of friends. Vijay Varma Vijay Varma has similarly moved between characters across genres. In Darlings, he played Hamza, while Dahaad saw him portray serial killer Anand Swarnakar. His role in Jaane Jaan was different again, with Varma playing a police investigator involved in an increasingly complicated case. These performances have allowed Varma to explore characters with contrasting shades, from unsettling antagonists to more restrained and observant personalities.

Vice-captaincy A Big Responsibility, India Aims To Play Fearless Cricket In Champions Trophy, Says Shafali

Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Newly appointed T20I vice-captain Shafali Verma said on Thursday that her role in the Indian team leadership group will go beyond that title, adding that the side are aiming to play a fearless yet smart brand of T20 cricket in next years Champions Trophy. India, to be now captained by Smriti Mandhana, will begin its preparation for the inaugural six-team tournament, to be played in Mumbai and Vadodara in February 2027, when they open the T20I series against Zimbabwe at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Friday. Just talking about vice-captaincy, I have done captaincy in the Under-19 World Cup as well. So, I have that experience. I know vice-captaincy is not just a title. It's a big responsibility. I know we have to just take care of each and every player and make them in a very good headspace. So, I am just trying to make every player very comfortable and just help the captain, Shafali said in the pre-match press conference. She also credited former captain Harmanpreet Kaur for the growth of the women's game and said the team had already mapped out its approach for the road ahead. Harman di has done a lot of growth to women's cricket. The current shape of women's cricket, it's just all about Harman di only. So, just thanks to her and just talking about how we have to move forward in women's cricket. First of all, we have to play a fearless brand of cricket in T20, with smartness as well. So, we have just talked in this series that we have to play the Champions Trophy, the fearless brand of cricket with the smartness and we have done lots of meetings. So, everyone knows what to do and you guys can also see the growth. So, we are just trying to keep growing series by series, she added. Shafali, who has been in prolific form via scores of 64, 68, 40 not out, 100 not out and 48, traced her resurgence to the work she put in after being left out of the ODI side in 2025, before a call-up came following Pratika Rawal's injury led to her dramatic return to the ODI World Cup team and capped it off with a Player of the Match performance in the final against South Africa in Navi Mumbai. When Pratika got injured, I got a direct call to be back in the team. Luckily, at that time I was playing state T20 games from Haryana. So, I worked a lot on myself in 2025 and I think that hard work which I did in 2025, it gave me lots of help right now. So, I am just trying to keep my head down and just keep learning everything. Every day brings every new experience, and I am just trying to learn everything, she said. Shafali recalled that spending time out of the team forced her to take a hard look at her game. I think in 2025, when I got out of the team, I sat down and analysed myself which things I have to work on. First of all, consistency and then fitness, which meant I had to work on my body. Mentally, I have to grow more. So, these three things, I did hard work at that time. I think because of that, everything is going well. So, I am just trying to be more consistent. Shafali, who has also been chipping in with her off-spin, said she had long prepared for the possibility of bowling at the international level. Bowling is nothing new for me because I have been bowling for Haryana since 2021. So, I know when I used to bowl for Haryana, I used to think that someday I will have to bowl for India. So, I used to keep myself mentally prepared at that time that if I get bowling in the Indian team, then how do I have to prepare. With God's grace at that time, I am just trying to get used to the thinking that when I will get bowling in the Indian team, then what do I have to do and luckily I did that. Mentally, I have been ahead only and it's a great thing. Aware that opponents now plan specifically for her, Shafali said she recreates various match scenarios in the nets. I know that the other opponent team does all the preparation for me. So, in the net sessions, I always prepare for that. If my hitting is not good in the net session, then how do I play along the ground? So, I put myself in various situations in every net session. So, I think it is easy for me to go into the match because of that practice. On every skill, on short balls, even on spinner's back foot punch and even the pull shots as well. So, I have worked on that and I can see a very good reflection. So, I have to just keep doing the hard work. In the absence of injured Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali said the batting order had coped well and backed youngster Niki Prasad to step up. Jemi is recovering. But, in the Asia Cup and Asian Games, we were very good in the middle order. We didn't feel so much absence of it. So, I think it is easy for me to go into the match because of that practice. On every skill, on short balls, even on spinner's back foot punch and even the pull shots as well. So, I have worked on that and I can see a very good reflection. So, I have to just keep doing the hard work. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Sharvari unpacks Sooraj Barjatya's approach for filming Jhumka Patola

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Bollywood actress Sharvari, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya, has said that the song 'Jhumka Patola' from the film gave her the opportunity to explore her love for dance in a way she hadn't before as she was under the aegis of Sooraj R. Barjatya whose songs have defined the soundscape in Hindi cinema of the 90s. The actress said that Sooraj Barjatya's approach goes beyond choreography, with every movement and expression rooted in the story. Talking about the same, she said in a statement, I've always loved dancing, but with Sooraj sir, a song is so deeply woven into the narrative that you can't look at it as just a dance performance. While shooting 'Jhumka Patola', he would walk me through what the moment meant for my character and share stories from the songs he has made over the years, and I tried to carry that into every step and expression. The actress has made a strong impression with her energetic dance performances in Bollywood, particularly with chartbusters like Taras from Munjya and Holiyaan from Vedaa. In Taras, her first major solo dance number, Sharvari showcased her screen presence, confident moves and ability to carry a vibrant, contemporary Bollywood track. The song received attention for its catchy beats and her performance. She further mentioned, Dance has its own language, and sometimes a song can say what a scene simply cannot. There's a reason certain songs stay with us for years, they become inseparable from the characters and moments we remember. 'Jhumka Patola' let me explore my love for dance in a way I hadn't before, and after the warmth the title track 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya' has received, I can't wait for audiences to experience it. 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya' is set to release in cinemas on November 27, 2026.
