Former Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta dies by suicide at Noida residence

Digital Desk | Noida/New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Former Delhi Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta, 74, died by suicide at his home in Noida. Police recovered a note in which he mentioned health and mental issues as the reason for taking the extreme step. His body was discovered on September 6, and the last rites were performed on Sunday. A 1975-batch officer of the Indian Administrative Service, Mehta had a long and distinguished association with the Delhi administration. He served under former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in different capacities over the years. Before becoming Chief Secretary, he had also held the important post of Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, where he dealt with a wide range of civic issues in the capital. Mehta assumed charge as Chief Secretary of Delhi in 2007 and remained in the position for more than three years. During this period, he was closely associated with the planning and execution of several major projects in the transport, power and civic infrastructure sectors. These initiatives were aimed at improving public services and modernising the citys basic amenities at a time when Delhi was preparing for a high-profile international event. The Commonwealth Games of 2010 were organised in the national capital during his tenure as Chief Secretary. The successful conduct of the games required extensive coordination across multiple departments of the Delhi government, and Mehtas role in the administrative machinery during that phase was widely acknowledged by those who worked with him. Those familiar with his career remembered him as a senior officer who had spent a significant part of his professional life in the service of Delhi. According to police, the case is being treated as suicide on the basis of the note found at the residence and the circumstances of the death. Further formalities are being completed as per procedure.

'Orwellian Dystopia: Allahabad High Court SLAMS Noida DM Medha Roopam Over Students NSA Detention

The Allahabad High Court has quashed the National Security Act detention of 25-year-old Delhi University graduate Aakriti Chaudhary in connection with the April 2026 Noida workers protest. The court ordered her immediate release from NSA detention and criticised Gautam Buddha Nagar DM Medha Roopam, calling the invocation of the NSA arbitrary and vague and her conduct worthy of derision. The court said police material lacked credible evidence and noted that no WhatsApp message or video was produced to show Chaudhary incited violence, stone-pelting or arson. The court awarded her Rs 5 lakh compensation, to be recovered from the salaries of responsible officials. It also held that Medha Roopam violated her oath of allegiance and warned against actions that could turn Uttar Pradesh into an Orwellian dystopia.

Samsungs ambition is to help India lead next wave of innovations: JB Park

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Samsungs ambition is to help India lead the next wave of innovations that can improve lives around the world, says JB Park, Samsung South West Asia President and CEO, as the tech giant marks 30 years in the country. Park said India has evolved from being a market where global technologies were introduced to a country helping imagine, engineer and develop technology for the world. What inspires me most about India is that it constantly exceeds expectations, Park said. Today, we dont look at India just as a market of 1.4 billion people. We see India as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed and led, he added. As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms consumer technology, Samsungs engineers in India are also collaborating with global teams to develop next-generation AI experiences. AI will only be meaningful if it solves real problems for real people. And, there are few places that challenge us to do that better than India, Park said. Indias scale, diversity and rapidly evolving technology landscape are increasingly shaping how Samsung approaches innovation. Samsungs R&D engineers in Bengaluru and Noida work alongside colleagues across its global R&D network, contributing to technologies and experiences for India as well as the rest of the world. India challenges us to innovate differently, Park said. Building products for a country of this scale and diversity means designing solutions that are intuitive, inclusive and relevant to millions of people with very different needs. Those innovations often go on to benefit consumers around the world, he added. Samsungs investments in India have also extended beyond manufacturing and R&D to talent, skills, education and innovation. Technology does not create progress on its own. People do, Park said. We believe human potential is the most important technology platform of all, he added. Young people are using technology to solve some of the most pressing problems faced by society. That is exactly the kind of innovation India needs now and in future, he noted. As Samsung marks three decades in the country, he said its legacy in India should ultimately be measured not only by the products, manufacturing ecosystem and research capabilities it has helped build, but by the people and ideas it has helped nurture.

UP T20: Bhuvneshwar's Lucknow Falcons Set To Take On Rinku-led Meerut Mavericks In Final

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons are set to take on Meerut Mavericks in the grand finale of the UP T20 League, to be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The title clash pits prominent Indian internationals against each other, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the Lucknow Falcons against Rinku Singhs Meerut Mavericks. The Meerut Mavericks have achieved the remarkable feat of qualifying for the final in all four seasons and are seeking their second title, while the Lucknow Falcons have entered their maiden final, and are aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in front of their home crowd. The Lucknow Falcons enter the final on a seven-match unbeaten streak, marking an impressive turnaround after a difficult start to the tournament where they lost three of their opening four matches. The Falcons rebounded by winning five of their subsequent six league games (with one game washed out) to finish second in the standings with 13 points. They booked their place directly in the final with a convincing win over Meerut in Qualifier 1, anchored by a decisive spell of 4-10 from captain Bhuvneshwar. The Falcons campaign has been bolstered by consistent batting performances from Ajeet Verma and Mohammad Saif, who have compiled 263 and 233 runs, respectively. Leg-spin bowling all-rounder Vipraj Nigam has delivered in crucial moments down the order, maintaining a strike rate close to 160 alongside taking 11 wickets. The bowling unit remains their primary strength, led economically by Bhuvneshwar (13 wickets at an economy rate under 6) and fellow pacer Abhinandan Singh, who sits second in the Purple Cap standings with 21 wickets. Meanwhile, the Mavericks established their authority early in the season by registering seven consecutive victories, eventually securing top spot on the points table with 15 points. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final. Meeruts batting lineup features the tournament's most explosive performers. Opener Swastik Chikara has accumulated 308 runs at a strike rate of 166.49, while captain Rinku has provided reliable finishing power with 240 runs at a tournament-high strike rate of 171. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final.

UPT20: 'I took a painkiller and played,' says Rinku Singh after guiding Meerut Mavericks into final

Lucknow, Sep 5 (IANS) Captain Rinku Singh revealed that he was feeling physical discomfort and took a painkiller to play a match-winning knock for his side, Meerut Mavericks, in Qualifier 2 of the UPT20 League 2026. With Rinku's heroics, the team has reached the final for the fourth consecutive time. I will do anything for the team, whether it involves an injury or anything else, Rinku revealed after the match. Reflecting on their previous loss in Qualifier 1, he added, Yesterday, I felt that if I had been even a little bit healthier and had a batter staying with me, we could have won that game. Today was the same situation. I took a painkiller and played. My hand was feeling slightly better, but I am honestly still in quite a bit of pain. Despite the victory, the Mavericks' top order once again looked shaky, stumbling to 61/4 in a modest chase of 135 before Rinku (37* off 23) and Yash Garg (56* off 44) rescued the innings. The captain acknowledged the top-order fragility and detailed the team's preparations heading into the knockout fixture. Our batting order hasn't been performing quite as well as we'd like. Even today, we lost early wickets, Rinku admitted. I spoke to the batters yesterday about how we could prepare ourselves better, how we should approach the game mentally, and the importance of taking the match deep. That was our main discussion. When it comes to his own batting, finishing tricky chases has become second nature. You have to prepare carefully and constantly think about which ball you can attack, how to rotate the strike, and how deep you are standing in the crease. Those calculations keep running through your mind. Batting at my position for so long, I have become accustomed to walking into these exact situations, needing a certain number of runs off a certain number of balls. It has just become a habit. While his unbeaten knock anchored the chase, Rinku was also quick to praise the bowling unit for restricting Noida to 134/8 after a strong start. They batted really well in the first 10 overs, and admittedly, we didn't bowl as well as we should have initially, Rinku observed. But when Zeeshan came on after 10 overs and got Shaurya out, we finally grabbed some momentum. Then we secured Ravi's wicket, and the pressure kept building. Rinku himself contributed with the ball, making a bold tactical move by bringing himself on to bowl the penultimate over, where he claimed the crucial wicket of his counterpart, Prashant Veer. I was thinking that I should bowl to Prashant. I told Zeeshan beforehand that I could get him out, so I strongly felt it could turn out to be a really good over for me and for the team, he said. The captain reserved his highest praise for Player of the Match Yash Garg, who was promoted up the order to orchestrate the chase after claiming 3/14 with the ball. Yash has been doing an outstanding job for our team for the last four years, Rinku stated. He consistently contributes with crucial wickets; he is sharp in the field, and he delivers with the bat as well. In his very first UP league game, he helped us cross the line, and today he has won us the game again. He is a highly deserving player and is doing incredible things for our franchise, he added. Rinku Singh and his Meerut Mavericks will now look to rest, recover, and channel this resilient energy into Sundays Grand Finale, where they seek redemption against the Lucknow Falcons.
