Bengal: SSB rescues two minors from Mizoram in human trafficking attempt
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 12 (IANS) Troops of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) foiled a human trafficking attempt across the India-Nepal Border. Two minor girls were rescued, and two accused were taken into custody. One of those arrested is suspected to be the key conspirator. Around 5 pm on October 11, personnel of the Border Intelligence Team (BIT), 41 Bn, SSB, who were deployed on the New Bridge, Panitanki, in West Bengal, intercepted a silver-coloured Toyota Hyryder proceeding from India towards Nepal. There were three persons travelling in the vehicle. One of them was Mahesh Bhuralal Tanna (61), a resident of Ahmedabad in Gujarat. The second was Navin Kumar (34), from Muzaffarpur in Bihar. He was driving the vehicle. The third occupant was a 17-year-old girl, a resident of Mizoram. During an on-the-spot preliminary inquiry, the minor girl revealed that she was travelling to Nepal with Tanna, an acquaintance of her father, supposedly for shopping and visiting a casino. She further stated that she had been staying with him at a rented flat near Salugara, Siliguri, lured by promises of employment at his spa centres in Mumbai and Goa, a senior SSB official said. The officials at the site sensed something amiss and alerted the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of Sector Headquarters, SSB, at Ranidanga and NGO partner Kosi Lok Manch, Siliguri. Teams immediately rushed to the SSB post at Panitanki for joint counselling and questioning. During sustained interrogation, Tanna confessed that an agent based in Mizoram had sent the minor girl to him about ten days earlier. He claimed that as she was underage, he engaged her as domestic help for Rs 4,000 until she attained majority. However, inspection of the suspect's mobile phone (iPhone) revealed compromising photographs and videos of the minor girl and another unidentified female stored in the 'Recently Deleted' folder, indicating gross sexual exploitation under the guise of employment, the official said. On being shown this evidence, Tanna was forced to admit that a second minor girl had been kept at his rented accommodation near Salugara, Siliguri. The SSB team immediately got into action and sent the information to the local police and NGO team in Salugara. Help was sought from the police as the area in Salugara was beyond the jurisdiction of the SSB. A police team, accompanied by members of the Kosi Lok Manch, raided the rented flat in Salugara in Siliguri and successfully rescued the second minor girl, the official said. Both rescued minors were taken to Kharibari Rural Hospital, where mandatory medical examinations were conducted in coordination with 41 Bn SSB personnel and the NGO team members. Subsequently, the girls, along with Tanna and Kumar, as well as the seized vehicle, were handed over to the Kharibari Police Station. An FIR was registered with the active assistance and coordination of 41 Bn SSB personnel for further investigation and prosecution under relevant statutory provisions. The NGO is coordinating with child welfare bodies for safe institutional care, counselling, and family repatriation of the two minors. Senior officials have appreciated the role played by the SSB personnel at Panitanki. It was their alertness and prompt action in coordinating with other agencies that resulted in the rescue of both girls and the arrest of the person behind the racket. Human trafficking is a major issue along the India-Nepal Border. Recently, six girls from Tripura, including three minors, were rescued while being taken to Nepal to work at a dance bar. The SSB has sensitised its troops and has strengthened intelligence gathering to prevent such crimes. It also works with NGOs working in this field to help the innocent victims.

Announced on October 12, 2026, the venture marks the latest addition to the siblings growing Matrix ecosystem, which includes MMA Matrix Gym Mumbai and Matrix Fight Night (MFN).

It also features Lagree, a high-intensity, low-impact training method that originated in the United States.

At Matrix, weve always believed that wellness should be accessible, effortless, and an integral part of everyday life. With Matrix Wellness, were bringing together movement, recovery, and thoughtfully curated experiences under one roof, creating a space where people can prioritise themselves and their well-being. Its a natural evolution of everything weve been building with Matrix, but also a deeply personal one, reflecting our vision of making wellness a more holistic, inclusive, and enriching experience for everyone.

While MMA Matrix Gyms focuses on fitness facilities and training, Matrix Fight Night has established a presence in the mixed martial arts space. With Matrix Wellness, the brand is extending its focus beyond workouts to include specialised recovery and wellness experiences. The new centre reflects Tiger and Krishnas broader plans for the Matrix brand, bringing training, recovery and movement together as part of a more comprehensive fitness and wellness offering.

Childish: Maha Minister blasts Rahul Gandhi on MPSC protest remarks
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Maharashtra Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ashish Shelar on Monday launched a sharp attack on Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, describing his remarks on the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) student protests as childish and accusing the Opposition of engaging in unconstitutional street politics. Speaking to reporters at the Mumbai Press Club, Minister Shelar strongly disputed LoP Rahul Gandhis assertion that the MPSC chairpersons decision to go on leave represented a victory for protesting students and their Satyagraha. Dismissing LoP Rahul Gandhis narrative, he asserted that the government and the ruling alliance had continuously stood by the agitating aspirants. Gandhis comments are childish. We were also with the students; thus, it is also our victory, he declared, emphasising that addressing candidate grievances was a collective priority rather than a partisan achievement. The minister urged political leaders to respect established institutional procedures instead of inciting chaos or staging street demonstrations. Minister Shelar argued that as the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi should utilise legitimate avenuessuch as floor debates in Parliament or legal petitions in the Supreme Courtto raise critical issues. He emphasised that grievances must be addressed through constitutional mechanisms, including legislative debates and judicial review. Noting that legal matters are currently pending before courts, he stressed that all parties must await judicial verdicts rather than provoking public unrest. Creating widespread agitation and storming streets, he warned, poses a serious threat to national stability and governance. To reinforce his point, Shelar invoked B. R. Ambedkars historic final address to the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949. He recalled Ambedkars stark warning regarding the grammar of anarchyhe peril of abandoning constitutional methods for civil disobedience once democratic avenues become available. Drawing a contrast with his own party's history, Minister Shelar cited the BJP's decades in opposition. He noted that while the party spearheaded major national movements over issues like the Ram Temple, Jammu & Kashmir, and student rights, it consistently operated within institutional frameworks without storming Parliament or invading the Prime Minister's official residence. Addressing accusations of authoritarianism under Prime Minister Narendra Modis government, Minister Shelar pushed back, pointing to sustained public demonstrationsincluding widespread farmer protestsas proof of active democratic freedoms in India. He concluded by reiterating that political rivalries must be resolved through democratic dialogue, court rulings, and parliamentary debate rather than by undermining public institutions.

Maha CM accuses Rahul Gandhi, INDIA bloc of trying to weaken judiciary through protests
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday launched a scathing attack on Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc, accusing them of executing a deliberate strategy to pressure and delegitimize India's constitutional institutions, including the Supreme Court, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Chief Ministers strong reaction came as INDIA bloc leaders, led by Rahul Gandhi, staged a high-voltage march in New Delhi towards the Supreme Court. The opposition leaders are demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of subverting electoral integrity and obbing the nation. CM Fadnavis criticised the opposition for brandishing copies of the Constitution while systematically undermining constitutional bodies. He alleged that the current protests are part of an extreme far-left plot designed to reject Dr B R Ambedkars Constitution and breed public distrust against democratic systems. Questioning the rationale behind marching to the apex court to force a meeting with the Chief Justice of India (CJI), CM Fadnavis asked, Which section of the Constitution empowers a political march to demand an audience with the Chief Justice of India? Attempting to exert pressure on the Supreme Court is a direct insult to Dr Ambedkar's Constitution. Drawing a sharp contrast, he invoked the 1975 Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He highlighted how the Congress regime then suspended fundamental rights and restricted citizens from approaching High Courts and the Supreme Court. We fought against constitutional tampering in 1975, and we will fight again today. We will never allow anyone to alter or tamper with Dr B R Ambedkar's Constitution, he declared. CM Fadnavis asserted that Congress's repeated electoral failures have driven it to resort to anarchy. He also pointed to instances during past agitations at Jantar Mantar, where social media algorithms were manipulated to spread chaos, noting that platforms like Meta later issued apologies over ad-driven content and missteps involving Prime Minister Modi's posts. He stated that Congress needs to stop blaming Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for its political setbacks and instead look inward at its failed leadership. Congress needs to find the reasons for its failure not in EVMs, but in its own leadership. This is a rejected leadership that is repeatedly re-launched, only to fail every time, he noted. Emphasising Congresss declining footprint, CM Fadnavis noted that key states across the nation have rejected the party for decades, including Tamil Nadu: 59 years, West Bengal: 50 years, Uttar Pradesh: 46 years, Sikkim: 42 years, Bihar: 36 years, Tripura: 33 years, Gujarat: 31 years and Madhya Pradesh & Odisha: 23+ years. He added that across 18 states, voters have distanced themselves from Congress for decades, forcing the party to rely heavily on regional partners like the DMK, RJD, and BSP to survive. He accused the opposition of systematically trying to instill distrust in the public mind regarding democratic institutions and the rule of law.

NSEL case: Special court allows ED to monetise attached assets worth Rs 3,464 crore
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) A Special PMLA court here has allowed properties worth Rs 3,464 crore attached by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in the National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) case to be monetised and thereafter restoration of Rs 1,950 crore as a one-time settlement for investors approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), according to an agency statement issued on Monday. The court order, dated October 8, is a significant step towards restitution to investors who have been awaiting recovery for the last 13 years since the payment default of 2013. This restoration order provides that up to Rs 1,950 crore realised from the monetisation of PMLA-attached properties will be paid to 63 Moons Technologies Ltd., as assignee of the specified creditors (investors), after the Settlement Trigger Event defined in the NCLT-approved scheme. Under the scheme, Rs 1,950 crore is payable to 5,682 specified creditors. As many of these properties are also attached under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1999 (MPID Act), the ED will carry out the monetisation in consultation with the competent authority under the MPID Act, the statement said. The ED gave its no-objection to this arrangement to secure early restitution to investors. According to the court order, any amount realised in excess of Rs 1,950 crore will remain in the custody of the Special Court, subject to the final outcome of the proceedings. An FIR had first been registered in the NSEL case in 2013 at M.R.A. Marg Police Station, Mumbai, and later transferred to the Economic Offences Wing, Mumbai Police, against the platform provider, its directors and key officials, 25 defaulting members and others, for criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust and forgery. It was alleged that trading was allowed in commodities without actual underlying stocks. The resulting payment default affected about 13,000 investors, with outstanding dues of around Rs 5,600 crore. The ED recorded an ECIR and investigated the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA). It has so far issued 35 provisional attachment orders for assets valued at about Rs 3,464.03 crore and also filed prosecution complaints, including supplementary PCs, before the special court. On November 28, 2025, the NCLT, Mumbai, sanctioned a Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 230232 of the Companies Act, 2013, providing a one-time settlement of Rs 1,950 crore for 5,682 specified creditors. The scheme was approved by over 92 per cent of the creditors and assures each of them a minimum recovery of about 42 per cent of their verified claims. The NCLAT dismissed the appeal against the sanction on January 15 this year, and the appeal before the Supreme Court was also dismissed. On April 13, the Supreme Court directed all courts and authorities to pass appropriate orders expeditiously for implementing the scheme, as it is intended to pay the entitled investors.

Protests not similar to ordering food from delivery apps: Shiv Sena blasts Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Shiv Sena national spokesperson Shaina NC said on Monday that Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, thinks protesting is equivalent to ordering food items on a delivery app. For Rahul Gandhi, calling for protests is similar to ordering food on delivery apps. Call someone to protest; create inconvenience for people every day, Shaina said while commenting on the ongoing unrest in the national capital. Honourable Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant has said that the matter is sub judice; then why are you creating nuisance on the streets and not letting the court do its work? she asked. She added, Rahul Gandhi lacks empathy and does not care about common people who would want to go to Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Mandi House, Secretariat, Barakhamba Road. They are getting affected. The protestors dont care about the Metros, traffic, security of the people, she said. She further said, When the matter is in court, one must wait and respect the decision of the Supreme Court. Stressing the matter, she further said, How long will you (Opposition) be able to mislead people through a false narrative? You are welcome to debate in the parliament, but dont create chaos on the streets. Shaina further said that people are not attracted by names like Thackeray, Gandhi, and that the opposition has no vision, plans, or blueprints whatsoever. On the detention of CJP leaders, Shaina said, There is a stark difference between detention and arrest. Everyone has the right to protest, but when it leads to unrest and riots, then the police will also have to take action. She praised the Delhi Police for not aggravating the protests, controlling the mobs and further protecting the common masses. Reacting to PM Narendra Modi appeal to the countrys Gen Z to make use of the opportunities that come with Viksit Bharat and taking the world towards solutions, Shaina said that the Indian Gen Z are not the future but the present. With initiatives such as Startup India, MSME, and Lakhpati Didi, the PM has empowered all. She further said that the youth of the nation should move forward in development and not indulge in chaos and unrest. Rather, one must understand that the need of the hour is education, security and Atma-nirbharta.

Rohit Sharma recalls India's NatWest comeback, says Doosra captures more than a cricket win
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Former India captain Rohit Sharma has revisited the memories of India's iconic victory in the 2002 NatWest Series final. He said the moment was about much more than winning a cricket match. The cricketer also praised the trailer of the upcoming film 'Doosra,' which captures the significance of the historic triumph. Rohit shared, I was 15 when India won the 2002 NatWest Finalwhat a moment! Not only the comeback but the teams confidence! The film Doosra beautifully captures why the moment was more than just winning a match. Just saw the trailer and looking forward to watching the film. Lauding the films trailer, Anil mentioned, I loved the trailer and how Abhinay has managed to blend two different worlds - reality and fictionseamlessly. I still remember the euphoria of the iconic win at the NatWest Series, that was truly unprecedented. It gave an entire generation the belief that India could win anywhere, against anyone. Im really looking forward to watching the film. Filmmaker Abhinay Deo shared, Doosra is ultimately an uplifting story about a country finding its voice and a young girl finding hers. At its core, it is Indias new freedom story, not the political freedom of 1947, but rather an emotional freedom. That day, Sourav didnt just take off a cricket tshirt; he shed the yoke of colonialism that India had shouldered for so many years after Independence. That day, a young girl in a small town in India proved that deep within each of us, lies a desire to live a free and fulfilling life. Producer Masha Sajdeh said, We are thrilled to finally bring Doosra to the big screen. It is a story about all of us, and each of us. We hope audiences will be entertained, moved, and inspired to question long-held conventions. Abhinay Deos upcoming film Doosra is set for a theatrical release on October 23. The makers announced the release date alongside the unveiling of the films poster and trailer on social media. Doosra is produced by Masha Sajdeh and Rohan Sajdeh, with Neeta Shah as co-producer. The film stars Plabita Borthakur, Ankur Vikal, Samidha Guru, Tvisha Seema, and Krishna Gokani. Set against India's famous victory over England in the 2002 NatWest Final, Doosra gives a new meaning to the iconic moment when Sourav Ganguly waved his shirt from the Lords balcony. The film connects this historic cricket moment with the personal journey of a young girl named Tara. Growing up in a conservative family, Tara struggles to find her place and understand the world around her.
