Glenn Maxwell Announces Retirement From International Cricket: Report
The Big Show: Australia's explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from international cricket on Monday, bringing the curtain down on a career spanning more than a decade across all three formats. According to ESPNcricinfo, Maxwell, who represented Australia in 286 international matches, scored 7,226 runs and claimed 136 wickets during his career. Nicknamed 'The Big Show', the 38-year-old was a key member of Australia's successful campaigns in the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups and the 2021 T20 World Cup. After making his International debut in an ODI against Afghanistan in 2012, Maxwell went onto become one of the most destructive white-ball batters of his generation, known for his unorthodox stroke-play, power-hitting and how he can change the course of a game. Maxwell is also the joint holder of most T20I centuries five with India's Rohit Sharma. One of the turning points of his career was the 2023 ODI World Cup league-stage game with Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With cramps and his movement, Maxwell scored an incredible 201 not out off only 128 balls as Australia defeated Afghanistan by three wickets while chasing 292. Before Maxwell's miraculous innings, Australia had been 91/7 and seemingly on the brink of defeat in the seventh over. Maxwell's last Test for Australia was in 2017, with the Australia batsman having played 7 matches. He has largely been confined to limited-overs cricket since and has been significantly more successful in that format. He had earlier declared his quit from ODI cricket after the 2025 Champions Trophy, with a parting shot of 3,990 runs in the format. His last T20I was against Oman in February this year. Maxwell's last Test for Australia was in 2017, with the Australia batsman having played 7 matches. He has largely been confined to limited-overs cricket since and has been significantly more successful in that format. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Tiger Shroff murder bid probe: Mumbai police arrest 22-year-old Haryana woman; tally hits 13
Digital Desk | Surat, Nov 2 (IANS) A man posing as a government cyber forensic specialist allegedly cheated a Surat-based petrochemical businessman of Rs 1.24 crore by promising lucrative returns through forex trading, cryptocurrency and overseas funds, before using the money to purchase property and luxury cars in Mumbai, police said on Monday. The Surat City Cyber Crime Cell has arrested the main accused, Priyank Vyas, 34, from Mira Road in Mumbai. A chartered accountant, Rohan Kelawala, who allegedly introduced Vyas to the complainant and facilitated the transactions, is absconding. According to the police, the accused and his associates collected Rs 1,29,25,100 from the complainant and his friend in 21 instalments over 11 months, between November 2025 and October 2026. Of this, Rs 4.70 lakh was returned to the complainant, leaving Rs 1,24,53,900 unpaid. The fraud came to light after the complainant, a petrochemical businessman, approached a chartered accountant in Surat in November 2025 for assistance with banking and loan-related work. The accountant allegedly told him that he invested clients' money in forex trading and introduced him to Vyas, describing him as a cyber forensic expert and cryptocurrency specialist. The two met at a hotel in Mumbai. To gain the businessman's confidence, Vyas allegedly displayed a fake identity card bearing the national emblem and identifying him as Dr Priyank Samirbhai Vyas Forensic Cyber Crime Specialist, Cyber Forensic Department, Mumbai. He also claimed that his car carried a government board and used a UPI ID named 'fslcyberforensic' and an email address named 'fslmumbai'. Vyas initially sought Rs 18 lakh, claiming that the amount was required to renew the IP address of a terminal developed by him. He promised to return Rs 30 lakh within 60 days and also offered the complainant a 20 per cent partnership in his business. On January 21 this year, the complainant sent Rs 18 lakh in cash to the chartered accountant's office. The accused subsequently communicated with the complainant through a 'Work' group on the BOTIM application, discussing IP purchases, software updates, cryptocurrency transactions and pre-authorised cards. Screenshots of USDT transactions and photographs of VISA cards issued by foreign banks were allegedly shared to reinforce the impression that the transactions were genuine. Between February and October 2026, Vyas allegedly demanded further payments on various pretexts, including a Rs 15 crore server fund, a Rs 153 crore fund from Argentina, the withdrawal of 5.3 million US dollars from a card and the recovery of Bitcoin from the wallet of a person in Nashik. The money was collected as gas fees, transaction charges, withdrawal charges, processing fees and personal loans through cash, bank transfers, Google Pay, angadia channels and USDT. Police said the accused repeatedly displayed large balances on a laptop, sent screenshots showing 'Transaction Success' and subsequently claimed that transactions had failed. He cited reasons such as IP-related banking errors, withdrawal limit issues, an Ethereum server outage and 83,768 ETH being blocked because of the size of a transaction. He also claimed that a wallet audit had identified 17 errors, comprising 15 yellow and two red alerts, and demanded additional fees to resolve them. The accused allegedly returned small amounts at intervals, including Rs one lakh, Rs 15,000, Rs 5,000 and Rs 3.5 lakh, to maintain the victims' confidence and persuade them to make further payments. On some occasions, the complainant and his friends were called to hotel rooms in Mumbai, where Vyas allegedly demonstrated a purported live transfer of 1.96 BTC on a laptop described as a government terminal. He also added the complainant's bank account as a beneficiary and shared screenshots showing 'Payment Initiated', 'RTGS' and 'Withdrawal Processed Successfully'. The police said the money was not used for any server, fund or cryptocurrency transactions. Instead, Vyas allegedly purchased a property in Mumbai worth around Rs 1.5 crore, bought a BMW luxury car and booked another flat for which he paid approximately Rs 80 lakh as a token amount. Investigators are collecting documentary evidence to establish that these assets were acquired using the proceeds of the fraud and initiate legal action for their seizure or freezing. The investigation has also revealed two other alleged victims in Surat. One of the complainant's friends paid Rs 74.90 lakh in instalments through bank transfers and cash, while another Surat resident allegedly paid Rs 7.5 lakh. Police suspect that the accused may have collected nearly Rs two crore from victims in the city and are investigating whether more people were cheated. Police said Vyas and Kelawala had earlier been cheated while trading on a platform named GlobalSwiftPay. Although the platform displayed large US dollar balances, the money could not be withdrawn. Investigators suspect that the two subsequently used the same concept of displaying fictitious balances and demanding fees to cheat others. The police also alleged that Kelawala played a key role in introducing the complainant to Vyas. He had assured the businessman that the money would be returned with profits within 30 days and said the responsibility for repayment was his. He received the initial Rs 18 lakh at his office and sent a message stating '1800 received'. He was also the administrator of the BOTIM group and shared transaction screenshots and photographs of foreign bank cards. When the complainant sought updates, he allegedly replied, 'Waiting bro'. The case was registered at the Surat City Cyber Crime Police Station on October 30 under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act. The FIR includes Sections 318(4), 204, 205, 336(2), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 3(5) of the BNS. A team led by Police Inspector N R Patel conducted the investigation under the supervision of senior officials. Investigators analysed transaction records, wallet screenshots and trace reports, and verified wallet addresses and transaction IDs through blockchain explorers. Technical analysis and human intelligence led the team to Vyas's location at Mira Road in Mumbai. Police have seized two mobile phones, two laptops, two hard disks, two pen drives, three cryptocurrency wallet cards, a chip, the fake Cyber Forensic Department identity card, a card of the Crime Grievance and Intelligence Council, two cheque books, two bank passbooks and documents relating to a flat in Mira Road. A BMW and a Honda City were also seized. The police have valued the seized items at a total of Rs 9.65 lakh. Kelawala remains absconding, and efforts are underway to arrest him. The police have urged people to verify investment platforms and brokers before transferring money, avoid offers promising guaranteed or unusually high returns, and refrain from paying additional amounts in the name of withdrawal or tax-processing fees.

Shah Rukh Khan marked his 61st birthday on November 2 by greeting fans gathered outside his Mumbai residence, Mannat. While the actor skipped his customary midnight balcony appearance this year, he later stepped out to acknowledge the crowd, continuing a birthday tradition that his fans look forward to every year. The celebrations began at midnight with a special message from the superstar. Since Mannat is currently undergoing renovation and the family has temporarily moved out, Shah Rukh did not appear on the balcony as he usually does. Instead, a large projection outside the residence displayed a handwritten note from the actor, along with visuals from his upcoming film King. The note read, Thank you all for your wishes and love. Sending mine right back to you all. Lots of love and a big hug. The display also featured visuals and dialogues from King, including King Akela Kaafi Hai and Darr Nahi, Dehshat Hoon.

Whenever A Team Comes Out, I Have Expectations, Says Sarfaraz Khan On India A Snub
Sarfaraz Khan: Overlooked for the India A tour of New Zealand, Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has admitted he had hoped for a call-up, but said he would keep scoring runs in domestic cricket and leave selection to the selectors. Sarfaraz, who last played for India nearly two years ago against New Zealand in the 2024 Test at the Wankhede Stadium, made 55 on day one of Mumbais Ranji Trophy match against Railways at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday. Obviously. Whenever a team comes out, I have expectations. But its okay. Its in their (selectors) hands whether to select me or not. My job is to play cricket, Sarfaraz told reporters in a post-day chat. Sarfaraz was recalled to the Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka in August as a replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan, but did not get a game. It was in that dressing room, he said, that he learnt how the selectors viewed him. The selectors didnt say it to me directly, but when I went to the Indian team recently, I heard that they are looking at me more for Indian conditions, he said. Sarfaraz questioned that thinking, pointing to his record overseas. But still I have a question, that when I went to (South) Africa, I scored runs (for India A). When I went to England, I scored. So sometimes when you make a comeback and you get a rank turner in India, suddenly you cant perform very well on a difficult wicket after scoring in domestic cricket. Or if you do, then 30-40-50 runs are enough on it. But it is not that I have not scored runs outside (India). I have scored outside too. So its okay. Ye unka nazariya hai (This is the selectors perspective). My job is to play cricket. And I will play. The numbers back him up. In seven first-class matches for India A in overseas conditions, Sarfaraz has scored 300 runs at an average of exactly 50, with three half-centuries. Those games came in South Africa in 2021 and 2023, Bangladesh in 2022 and England in May 2025. After his Test team recall, Sarfaraz was then named vice-captain of the Rest of India side for the Irani Cup against Ranji Trophy champions Jammu and Kashmir a month ago, scoring 45 and 0. Back in the Ranji Trophy, Sarfaraz has scores of 1, 154, 40 and 55 this season, at an average of 62.50. But more than a decade after his Ranji debut in 2014, he said starting over every season had not been easy. Its very difficult to score runs every season. I think I am still doing the same thing that I did with my father in the beginning. Its the same thing. I dont take off in the off-season, and I practice and keep batting. I dont know how many runs I am going to make. But when I came to Ranji Trophy 10-11 years ago, I worked hard the same way. I have the same routine. Everyone knows If you want to meet Sarfaraz Khan, you dont have to go to his house, you can meet him at Azad Maidan or Cross Maidan at 6 in the morning. Its very difficult to restart every year, come every year and work hard. Sometimes you get success, sometimes you dont. But this is my job, I can't do anything, he added. Having already realised his dream of an India cap in 2024, Sarfaraz said his father Naushad Khan remains his biggest source of motivation. So many things have happened. I am not thinking much. I wake up every morning and ask myself the same question, why should I work harder? I have played for India, but I wake up at 5 in the morning and go (to train). I can play for Ranji Trophy with normal hard work. Im still scoring 30, 40, 50, 100. So sometimes I get these questions in my head. But its okay. When I see that my father is working hard, he is sweating it out, then its okay. I will go and score for him. It motivates me to wake up every morning. Everyone knows that I dont have (any other) support in my life. If I have support, its only from my father. No one has supported me in my life. But its okay. I worked hard; I fulfilled my fathers dream (by playing for India). Its not easy to play for India, especially in this generation. And its not like I scored once or twice and played for India. I scored 300, 200, 250 (in domestic cricket) and worked hard and played for India. Motivation is to play cricket, thats it. Wherever I get a chance, I will play cricket. When its off-season, I dont like to sit at home. I think Im made for cricket. Wherever I get an opportunity (If) Ranji Trophy, Mushtaq Ali, Vijay Hazare, IPL, Indian team calls me, I will go. If India A calls me, I will go. I want to play cricket, he elaborated. After being dropped from the Test side in 2024, Sarfaraz went on a strict diet and exercise regime last year and brought his weight down from 97 kg to 77 kg. Pictures of the transformation went viral on social media, though Sarfaraz said nobody in the India or Mumbai set-ups had asked him to slim down. No one told me that I have to lose weight. But whatever I heard on social media, or from someone, that maybe I should lose weight. So I did it. Because whatever I hear, that I should work on something, I am doing that in my life. I cant do anything more than that. In reality, I was overweight. There is no doubt about that.

Congratulations on completing 1 year of the legendary World Cup Win. Former captain Mithali Raj, in a post on X, also remembered the triumphant scenes in Navi Mumbai. A year ago, a dream nurtured by generations of Indian women cricketers became reality. Watching Harmanpreet and her team lift the Womens ODI World Cup was an incredibly special moment. It was a victory built on years of perseverance, sacrifice and belief. Proud of this journey, grateful to have been a part of it, and delighted to see the next generation take Indian womens cricket to new heights. Some moments belong to generations. This was one of them, she wrote. The BCCI also shared a series of pictures and posts in which then-captain Harmanpreet, current skipper Smriti Mandhana and head coach Amol Muzumdar reflected on the win. Indias run to the title was shaped by many players. Deepti finished as the leading wicket-taker with 22 scalps and also scored 215 runs. Her 5-39 and half-century in the final sealed her Player of the Tournament award. Smriti Mandhana made 434 runs, including a century, the most by an Indian woman in a single edition of the ODI World Cup.

Amara Raja Q2 profit drops 45 pc; declares Rs 4.30 interim dividend
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Amara Raja Energy and Mobility Limited on Monday reported a 44.8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in profit for the quarter ended September 2026, as rising cost pressures weighed on margins despite healthy revenue growth across key business segments. The battery maker posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 153 crore in the second quarter of FY27, down 44.8 per cent from Rs 277 crore in the corresponding quarter last financial year (Q2 FY26), according to its stock exchange filing. Revenue from operations, however, rose 18.5 per cent year-on-year to Rs 4,109 crore, compared with Rs 3,467 crore in the year-ago period. Operating performance remained under pressure during the quarter. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 3.4 per cent to Rs 361.6 crore from Rs 374.3 crore a year earlier. Consequently, EBITDA margin contracted to 8.8 per cent from 10.8 per cent in the corresponding period, as per its regulatory filing. Alongside its quarterly earnings, the company announced an interim dividend of Rs 4.30 per equity share for the financial year 2026-27 and fixed November 6 as the record date for determining eligible shareholders. The latest dividend marks a moderation from recent payouts by the company. Amara Raja had announced an interim dividend of Rs 4.80 per share in November 2023, which increased to Rs 5.40 per share in November 2025. The company had also declared a dividend of Rs 5.20 per share in July 2026. Despite the decline in earnings, the company reported strong demand trends across multiple segments. It said performance during the quarter was supported by robust double-digit growth in the automotive battery aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) businesses, as well as continued strength in its Home Energy segment. The results were announced after market hours. Shares of Amara Raja ended the session 3.14 per cent higher at Rs 708.4 apiece on the NSE. The stock has risen 2.34 per cent over the past week but is down 5 per cent over the last month. On a year-to-date basis, the shares have fallen 23.47 per cent and are down 29.34 per cent over the past year.
No merger: Sunil Tatkare reaffirms collective leadership under Sunetra Pawar
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP and Maharashtra unit president Sunil Tatkare on Monday clarified that the issue of party merger is completely closed, emphasising that the party's primary focus is on strengthening its organisation and working collectively under the leadership of party president and Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar. Addressing the media following the party's core committee meeting held at DCM Sunetra Pawar's official residence, Devgiri, Tatkare said that the discussions centred around how the party can function collectively with a unified approach under the leadership of Sunetra Pawar. The issue of merger of two NCP factions ended long ago. This stance was previously maintained by Sharad Pawars faction as well, and our position on the matter has been made clear, he said. Tatkare clarified that there is no reason for any drama regarding internal dissatisfaction or grievances. Appointments and other organisational matters were discussed extensively in a cordial atmosphere. Notably, rumours regarding discontent over recent appointments were not even a topic of discussion during this meeting. The meeting featured extensive deliberations on party organisation, its functioning, and various upcoming programs. As long-standing grassroots workers who have served the organisation for a long time, collective leadership has always been our core principle, he noted. He further said that discussions also focused on the challenges facing the organisation and how the party can contribute effectively to addressing the drought-like situation prevailing across the state. He added that the party is fully committed to strengthening its organisational framework and working dynamically moving forward. Today's core committee meeting took place after NCP veteran leaders met the Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday night and reportedly cited unilateral functioning and decision-making by party chief Sunetra Pawar and his son and the Rajya Sabha member Parth Pawar. The delegation, comprising all top leaders of the party, except the Pawars, was reportedly advised by Shah to 'pull up their socks' as the collapse of the NCP organisation was hurting Mahayuti in Maharashtra. The NCP leaders had sought Shah's appointment to discuss the organisational matters as well as allotment of cabinet portfolios in Maharashtra, due to the NCP. The delegation included RS MP Praful Patel, NCP state chief Sunil Tatkare, minister Hasan Mushrif, Chhagan Bhujbal, former ministers Dilip Walse-Patil and Dhananjay Munde. Bhujbal's nephew and former LS MP Sameer was also part of the delegation. Both Patel and Tatkare, in the past, have openly called for introspection within the NCP following its defeat in the recently held legislative council elections. Bhujbal is miffed over the decision to appoint MLC Zeeshan Siddique as Mumbai NCP chief without even informing him. Both Walse-Patil and Munde are out of the state cabinet despite vacancies in the state cabinet. The Finance portfolio, which was originally with the NCP, was taken up by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after the death of Ajit Pawar. Despite repeated demands, the BJP has not handed over the portfolio to the NCP. Mushrif was asked to step aside from Pune graduates' constituency polls after the NCP let go of its claim and gave the seat to the BJP. Mushrif's trusted aide Bhaiyya Mane was to contest the election originally. Sources within the NCP said that lack of collective leadership within the NCP was one of the key issues discussed with Shah. While the issue of lack of collective leadership within the party was discussed, it was told to them that the NCP leaders need to ensure smooth functioning of the party, said an NCP leader privy to the discussions. These leaders were told that the problems within the NCP organisation are not harming them only. But being in Mahayuti, it is affecting the ruling alliance as a whole. If these issues are not resolved, then the alliance will face problems, the source said. Another party leader confirmed that Shah maintained that the BJP was closely observing the developments in Maharashtra. The NCP officially downplayed the visit. It is highly unfortunate that unnecessary political colour is being given to today's meeting in Delhi between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and senior leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party, attempting to fabricate a narrative of internal party differences, said Umesh Patil, National Spokesperson, NCP. Patil said that the meeting of senior NCP leaders took place after Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar, in her last meeting with Shah, said that a delegation of senior leaders from the party would be meeting him and had requested time to be made available. He said that it appears that certain unseen forces are planting such reports to create an artificial narrative that there are internal differences within the Nationalist Congress Party and a lack of coordination in the leadership.

SRK greets fans from a distance on his 61st birthday
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan greeted his fans outside his bungalow, Mannat in the Bandra area of Mumbai on his 61st Birthday. The actor, who donned a white t-shirt and paired it with denims, greets his fans outside his house every year on his birthday, and breaks into his iconic pose with his arm stretched soaking in the love from his fans. However, what makes this year different is the actors proximity to the crowd. While earlier the actor showed up next to the gate of his bungalow, this year, he chose to stay comparatively far from the crowd given the law and order situation in the city with gun attacks on high-profile becoming common. Recently, actor Tiger Shroff became a victim of a gun attack. 3 motorcycle-borne men opened fire at Tiger Shroff's car in the Juhu area of Mumbai on October 19. While the 'Baaghi' was reported to be safe, his driver has been injured. Within hours of the incident, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang shared a post on social media, taking responsibility for the attack. The Mumbai Police informed that they have formed 15 special teams to investigate the firing incident. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also called the Mumbai Police Commissioner to inquire about the incident. The CM has directed the Police Commissioner to immediately investigate the matter and take strict action against those responsible. SRKs fellow superstar Salman Khan is the prime target for the Lawrence Bishnoi with the black buck case being the reason behind long-standing enmity between the 2 parties.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) DOMS Industries Limited, one of India's leading stationery and art material manufacturers, on Monday reported a 36.2 per cent decline in profit for the quarter ended September 2026 (Q2 FY27), as margin pressure weighed on earnings despite healthy growth in revenue. The company posted a net profit of Rs 37.2 crore in the second quarter, down 36.2 per cent from Rs 58.3 crore in the corresponding period last financial year (Q2 FY26), according to its stock exchange filing.

Operating performance, however, remained under pressure during the quarter. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined 16.2 per cent to Rs 83 crore from Rs 99 crore a year earlier.

Headquartered in Umbergaon, Gujarat, DOMS Industries is among India's prominent manufacturers and distributors of scholastic stationery, art materials and office supplies. The company markets its products under the flagship DOMS brand and several other brands including C3, Amariz, FixyFix and ClapJoy. Founded in 1976 as R.R. Industries by Rasiklal Raveshia and Mansukhlal Rajani, the company launched the DOMS brand in the mid-2000s and has since expanded its presence across India and international markets. A key milestone in the company's growth journey came in 2012 when it entered into a strategic partnership with Italy-based stationery major F.I.L.A. Group, which holds a significant stake in the company and supports its international expansion efforts. DOMS offers a portfolio of more than 4,500 products, including pencils, crayons, oil pastels, colour pencils, sketch pens, geometry boxes, notebooks and writing instruments.

Maha: Congress criticise BJP for Save Democracy rallies
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) The Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal on Monday claimed that BJP's aggressive campaign to save democracy and the Constitution is nothing but a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The unprecedented Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao mega rally organised by the INDIA alliance at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi has dealt a major blow to the Modi government. Rattled by the rally, the BJP is now organising Save Democracy, Save the Constitution rallies across the country. However, the BJP and RSS are the real destroyers of democracy and the Constitution. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis accusing the Congress of undermining democracy and the Constitution is laughable. The RSS, the BJP's parent organisation, does not accept the Constitution drafted under the leadership of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, while BJP leaders have openly spoken about changing it. The BJP has the Constitution on its lips but the Manusmriti in its heart, said Sapkal. Taking aim at the BJP and CM Fadnavis, Sapkal further said that despite being in power for 13 years, the BJP continues to target Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi instead of highlighting its own achievements. He added that the governments led by Narendra Modi and Devendra Fadnavis came to power through vote theft in the 2024 elections. Their alleged electoral malpractice has been exposed, and not only will they lose power, but the prospect of facing action after being voted out has also cost them their sleep, he said. The Modi-Shah government, with the help of Gyanesh Kumar, is depriving 13 crore citizens of their right to vote. The BJP government is taking away a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution. The BJP keeps talking about infiltrators but does not disclose how many have actually been apprehended. If Fadnavis has the courage, he should release the figures of infiltrators instead of using the issue as a pretext to deprive citizens of their voting rights. A regime change in a democracy means a change of government through elections, and political parties exist to facilitate this process. Why are Modi, Shah and Fadnavis so afraid of it? remarked Sapkal. He further said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure, there has been an attempt to take control of all constitutional institutions and hijack democracy. He said that the people affiliated with the RSS and BJP have been placed in constitutional institutions and universities, effectively bringing them under the ruling establishment's control.
Bombay High Court has asked actor Imran Khan to file an unconditional apology and submit an undertaking that he will not participate in protests in India in the future, following his participation in an anti-CEC demonstration in Mumbai.

Ranji Trophy: Dubey Picks Nine Scalps As Vidarbha Bowl Out Madhya Pradesh For 209
For Central Zone: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey rewrote the Vidarbha record books on Monday by claiming 9-53 to bowl out Madhya Pradesh for 209 on an eventful opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha. Dubey became the first bowler from Vidarbha to claim a nine-wicket haul in an innings of the Ranji Trophy. The previous best figures for the side was Arun Ogirals 8-39 in 1967-68, which ironically came against Madhya Pradesh. Dubey is now the 30th bowler overall to take nine or more wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy. It was Vidarbha all-rounder Nachiket Bhute, though, who made the first breakthrough by removing opener Yash Dubey. From there onwards, the innings belonged to Harsh. He opened his account in the 17th over and kept chipping away, leaving Madhya Pradesh at 64/5 in the 29th over. Atharva Mahajan and Saransh Jain resisted with a 72-run stand. It lasted nearly 18 overs before Dubey returned to break it, and the lower order did not survive long after that. The last nine-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy came from Gujarats left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai, who took 9-36 against Uttarakhand in 2024-25. Mondays spell adds to a big year for Dubey, who made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in June and took four wickets in two matches. He then toured Sri Lanka with India A, taking three wickets and scoring 59 runs across two innings. For Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, he took eight wickets and made 27 and 24 against East Zone. He has carried that form into the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, with 23 wickets in seven innings so far. Elsewhere, Karnatakas Ritesh Bhatkal (5-35) and Shikhar Shetty (5-53) shared 10 wickets to bowl Assam out for 135 inside 49 overs in Guwahati. Rohan Patil then hit 89 off 87 balls, with 13 fours and a six, and added 129 for the opening wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who was unbeaten on 57, as Karnataka got a 45-run lead. In Dharamsala, 20 wickets fell on the opening day. Rajasthan chose to bat and were shot out for 78, with Abhishek Kumar taking five wickets for Himachal Pradesh. Sahil Dhiwan replied with a five-wicket haul for Rajasthan, but Himachal still made 153 for a lead of 75. Mayank Mishra took 6-57 as Uttarakhand bowled out Haryana for 153 after they elected to bat. In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Pauls unbeaten 138 powered Tamil Nadu to 320/4 against the hosts. N Jagadeesan (52) and Baba Indrajith (51) also scored fifties. Punjab recovered from 71/5 to reach 276/5 against Andhra, thanks to an unbroken 205-run stand for the sixth wicket between Salil Arora (111 not out) and Sanvir Singh (100 not out). In Ahmedabad, Aarya Desai fell five short of a century as Gujarat crossed 300 against Kerala. He added 116 with Abhishek Desai, and after Gujarat slipped to 182/4, Urvil Patel (63 not out) and Vishal Jayswal (50 not out) put on an unbeaten 111-run stand. Opener Dhruv Patel made 124 to lift Baroda to 269/6 in Kanpur. He added 88 with Shashwat Rawat (47) and 108 with Mitesh Patel (49) after Baroda were 54/2. His dismissal set off a late wobble, with three wickets falling on 249 in four deliveries across two overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal came in at number five with his side at 27/3 and made an unbeaten 111 to take them to 266 in 88 overs against Delhi at Palam. Snehal Kauthankars unbeaten 116 rescued Goa from 54/4 after they chose to bat against Bihar at home, as they ended day one at 288/6 in 87 overs. At the CCI in Mumbai, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (78) and Sarfaraz Khan (55) struck half-centuries and captain Siddesh Lad made 47 as Mumbai reached 247/6 in 83 overs after being put in by Railways. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46. Manisankar Murasingh (33) and Bikram Debnath (32) were unbeaten at the close, after Tripura had batted 74.3 overs. Parth Bhut was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers with 3-52 in 19 overs, including two maidens. Chetan Sakariya took two wickets, while Yuvraj Dodiya and Sammar Gajjar claimed one each.
