Shubman Gill To Head To Mumbai For Further Assessment Of Neck Injury, Says BCCI
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport: After being ruled out of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati, Shubman Gill will now head to Mumbai for further assessment of his neck injury, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday. In Gills absence, wicketkeeperbatter Rishabh Pant has been named as Indias captain for the second Test, which is a must-win for the hosts after losing the first Test in Kolkata by 30 runs. Gill had flown with the Indian team to Guwahati on November 19, but didnt take part in the practice sessions due to a neck injury, which also needed hospitalisation in Kolkata. Team India captain Shubman Gill, who suffered a neck injury during the first Test against South Africa, has been ruled out of the second Test in Guwahati. Gill suffered a neck injury on Day 2 of the Kolkata Test and was taken to the hospital for examination after the end of day's play. He was kept under observation and discharged the next day. He travelled to Guwahati on 19th November, 2025. Unfortunately, he was not fully fit to feature in the 2nd Test and will head to Mumbai for further assessment of his injury. Rishabh Pant will lead the team in the 2nd Test in Gill's absence, said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia in a statement. It is understood that Gill boarded a flight to Mumbai from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in the early hours of Friday morning. He is likely to consult Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, Head Centre for Sports Medicine, and Director - Arthroscopy & Shoulder Service at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, for chalking out the further course of recovery from the neck injury. Pardiwala is also overseeing the recovery of Shreyas Iyer, who was admitted to a hospital in Sydney for a spleen laceration, with internal bleeding, after clutching his ribcage post taking the catch of Alex Carey during India's third ODI against Australia on October 25. After being discharged from the hospital and continued recovery in Sydney, Iyer is back home in Mumbai, but will need a few more months to be fully match fit. For now, Gill is also in serious doubt to lead India in the subsequent ODI series against the Proteas, starting on November 30.

CHANDIGARH: Police in Punjab's Ludhiana on Thursday claimed they have busted a multi-state gangster-terror module, allegedly backed by Pakistan's spy agency ISI, following an exchange of fire in which two accused were injured. One of the accused was critically injured, officials said. Ludhiana Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma said the two had opened fire when they were intercepted in Ludhiana following information that they were roaming in the area. Two grenades and five sophisticated pistols were among the items seized from them. According to police, the duo was tasked with throwing grenades at designated places to cause unrest. In a post on X, the Ludhiana police said, In a major breakthrough, Ludhiana Police busted Pakistan's ISI-backed multi-state gangster-terror Module; links with Lawrence Bishnoi gang uncovered. Two shot at, one critically injured. It said that an FIR has been registered at the Jodhewal Police Station in Ludhiana under the Explosives Act and Arms Act, and an investigation was underway to explore their links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

BJP likely to ditch Ajit Pawar-led NCP in BMC elections over Nawab Malik row
MUMBAI: In a bid to consolidate its Hindu vote bank, the BJP has decided to drop the Ajit Pawar-led NCP as an ally for the elections to the BMC --Asia's richest civic body-- scheduled for January next year. The BJP has cited the presence of NCP Mumbai in-charge Nawab Malik --who faces serious charges allegedly linked to the purchase of a property belonging to an underworld don-- as the reason for refusing an alliance. Echoing the party's stand, senior BJP leader and former Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar said the party would not ally with the NCP as long as Nawab Malik, who is facing serious charges, remains its Mumbai leader. Responding to this, senior NCP leader Praful Patel stated that the charges against Malik have not been proven. Describing Malik as a senior and experienced leader of the party, Patel asserted that the NCP will not make any changes in the leadership. Sources in the BJP said that joining hands with the NCP while Malik leads its Mumbai unit would send the wrong message to the partys core Hindu voter base. The upcoming BMC election is very prestigious and will be high-voltage. In 2017, the BJP was very close to forming the government in the BMC. This time, we do not want to miss the opportunity by splitting the Hindu votes by joining hands with Nawab Malik. Every vote counts. We have conveyed this, a senior BJP functionary said, requesting anonymity. After the elections, if the BJP needs any support from the NCP, we can consider working togetherbut not before the elections, he added. Meanwhile, the BJP-led Mahayuti government on Thursday announced that the states revenue department will waive the registration fees for homes of 600 sq ft and below developed under the cluster redevelopment scheme in Mumbai. The move will provide significant relief to beneficiaries of such projects. The state currently levies six per cent in registration and stamp duty fees, which will now be waived.

Shinde gets no relief from Amit Shah as BJP pushes ahead with 'expansion' plan
MUMBAI: Despite flagging the internal friction within the Mahayuti during his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reportedly did not receive any relief. Instead, Shinde was reportedly reminded that each party has the right to expand its base, and the BJP will continue to pursue its expansion agenda. Shah and Shinde reportedly held a 50-minute meeting in Delhi, during which the latter listed several complaints against Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan. Shinde reportedly expressed concern regarding Chavan's attempts to allegedly poach Shiv Sena leaders on the eve of the local body polls, as well as for what he described as step-motherly treatment within the BJP-led Mahayuti government. People familiar with the development said Shinde was categorically told that the BJP would not halt its expansion plan. If Shinde is concerned or worried about the poaching of his cadre and leaders, then he should control them efficiently rather than blaming another party. Besides, Shinde was also informed that the BJP is a national party, and many people want to join them, so they cannot prevent anyone from joining the BJP. The BJP will continue to pursue its expansion agenda. The internal issues of the government must be resolved at the state level only, one person said, requesting anonymity. He further added that the BJP top leadership has made it clear that for the 2029 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the party has a long-term plan to form the government on its own, without depending on allies. However, Shinde refused to share details of the meeting. He said he had not met Amit Shah to read out complaints against BJP leaders but to congratulate him on the Bihar victory. Shinde said he is not someone who will sit and cry, asserting instead that he is a fighter. He blamed the media for speculating about differences between the BJP and the Shiv Sena and blowing them out of proportion. Taking a dig at Shindes predicament, Uddhav Thackeray said Shinde went to meet Shah in Delhi like a small child who gets beaten by someone and then complains to his father, saying 'Baba yane mala marla' (Father, he has beaten me). Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal said Shinde is worried about a split in his party and therefore went to Delhi to meet Shah. Shinde broke the Shiv Sena and became the CM of Maharashtra. Now he is being given a taste of his own medicine by the BJP. It is only a matter of time before the Shinde Sena becomes history in Maharashtra, Sapkal said.

Fake call centre targeting US citizens busted in Navi Mumbai; 20 held
THANE: Police have busted a fake call centre in Navi Mumbai, from where cyber frauds involving at least Rs 12 crore were allegedly committed mostly against US citizens, and arrested 20 persons in this connection, officials said on Thursday. The police suspect that the scale of the crime is very large and many wanted accused are involved in it. The action against this call centre, which was in operation in Turbhe area of Navi Mumbai was taken on Thursday, they said. Navi Mumbai Cyber police station and the Crime Branch took the action. The police received a tip-off on November 18 that a call centre was in operation under the guise of various bogus companies to defraud citizens. Immediately, a joint team of police conducted a raid and uncovered two distinct methods of fraud being run from there. In the first method, the employees of the call centre targeted US-based citizens through WhatsApp groups and lured them by promising high returns on stock market investments. Separately, they also targeted the American citizens by carrying out ransomware or malware attacks on their computers, an official statement said. The raid brought to light a massive scale of the financial crime, it said. The investigators found 97 persons working at the fake call centre. They also found several WhatsApp numbers and bank accounts being used by those found at the location, it added. The transactions of 71 bank accounts, details of which were sent to US citizens and others, for fraud were checked. Out of these, 61 accounts were found to have transactions worth a total of Rs 12.29 crore. Some of these bank accounts were checked on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) developed by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). It was found that 31 cyber fraud complaints have been registered across the country, the statement added. The police seized 108 computers, 38 mobile phones, and 5 GSM servers, it said. A case was registered at the Cyber police station in Thane under Sections 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 319(2) (punishment for cheating by personation), and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with sections of the Information Technology Act. So far 20 accused have been arrested and remanded in police custody till November 23 by a local magistrate, the police said. The scale of the crime is very large and many wanted accused are involved. After a thorough technical investigation of the crime, the amount of fraud is likely to increase further, the police said in the statement.
