Digital Desk | Kota, Oct 20 (IANS) The three suspects held in connection with the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai will be taken to Mumbai, Maharashtra, by the Mumbai Police on Tuesday.

India-NZ FTA comes into force: Farmers protected, MSMEs to gain wider market access
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 20 (IANS) India's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with New Zealand -- which comes into force on Tuesday -- will provide wider market access for MSMEs, farmers and labour-intensive sectors with 100 per cent duty-free access for Indian exports, while keeping sensitive sectors like dairy fully protected. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has said that with duty-free access for 100 per cent of Indian exports to New Zealand, the FTA will unlock significant opportunities for MSMEs, farmers, women, youth and labour-intensive sectors. It also opens new pathways for our professionals, while safeguarding India's core interests, Goyal wrote in a post on X. According to the minister, farmers will gain wider market access for fruits, vegetables, spices and other agricultural produce, alongside cooperation to improve productivity, support higher incomes and strengthen livelihoods. Sensitive sectors, including dairy, remain protected, keeping farmers' welfare at the heart of the approach, he added. On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, both sides will begin a new chapter in their economic partnership as the India-New Zealand FTA comes into force. Truly a 'Vijay' for both nations! the minister said. Notably, Goyal said New Zealand will now build with a 'Made in India' JCB machine, flagging off the first-ever JCB machine export to New Zealand, made in Pune, Maharashtra. India New Zealand FTA is unlocking new opportunities for our manufacturing, he posted. Trade agreements are not merely about tariff reductions but about creating deep and durable economic partnerships that support trade, investment and supply chain integration, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal has said. FTAs are about creating deep economic partnership, he added. Agrawal also stated that such FTAs help facilitate faster regulatory approvals and improve the ease of doing business between partner countries. Moreover, the India-NZ FTA is expected to play a key role in strengthening bilateral ties with the government targeting doubling of trade in the coming years. The pact sets the stage for facilitating up to $20 billion in investments from New Zealand into India across sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and startups, according to the Commerce Ministry. For the services sector, the pact offers wider access to the New Zealand market across IT, professional services, construction, tourism and audio-visual services. Indian pharmaceutical and medical device exporters are expected to benefit from faster market access as New Zealand will accept inspection approvals from globally recognised regulators, reducing compliance timelines.

Nagaland Cricket Stadium: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar became only the second batter in Ranji Trophy history to hit a quadruple century, while Delhi captain Ayush Badoni struck a double hundred and India batters Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar notched up centuries on an eventful day two of the second round of the Ranji Trophy on Monday. Playing in just his second first-class match, Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 against Nagaland in a Plate group game at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima, and become only the second Indian to score a quadruple hundred in first-class cricket. The left-hander went past Prithvi Shaw's 379 to post the second-highest individual score in the history of the competition. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948-49 remains ahead of him. Sutar was on 392 at tea and brought up his 400 in the 155th over, prompting Mizoram to declare at 581/9. He faced 517 balls in all and struck 46 fours and seven sixes. Mizoram, who ended day one on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 and Sutar was on 231 when last man Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak joined him. The pair put on an unbroken 190-run stand to take the game away from Nagaland. It has entered the record books as the third-highest last-wicket partnership in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 set by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991-92. Sutar also became only the 10th batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that features batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Sutar made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after obtaining a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99 in that game, as Mizoram recovered from a 68-run first-innings deficit before going down narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had played for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season on the back of strong showings in Mumbai's local leagues. By the time stumps were called in Sovima, Nagaland reached 50/1. Elsewhere in the Plate group, Parth Palawat and Nilesh Lamichaney scored hundreds as Sikkim piled up 477/4 against Arunachal Pradesh's 121. Meanwhile, Karnajit Yumnam's unbeaten 93 led Manipur's strong reply of 173/2 to Meghalaya's 380, in which Pheiroijam Jotin bagged five wickets in a 29-over spell. In Elite Group A, Patidar's unbeaten 107, studded with 13 fours, took Madhya Pradesh to 302/5 and their lead swelling to 125 against Puducherry. Chanchal Rathore and Shubham Sharma also made half-centuries for Madhya Pradesh. Ravikumar Samarth's 143 rescued Vidarbha in a sensational fashion and took them past Jammu and Kashmir's 260, with number nine Rajneesh Gurbani making an unbeaten 64. Umar Nazir and Sunil Kumar took four wickets each for the hosts and leave Vidarbha at 133/7, before Samarth bailed Vidarbha out of trouble. Nachiket Bhute then rocked J&K's top order to leave them reeling at 7/4 in Srinagar, as the defending champions still trail by 38 runs. In Kanpur, Zeeshan Ansari's five-wicket haul helped Uttar Pradesh bowl out Goa for 164 and take a 38-run lead. At stumps, UP reached 102/4 in their second innings. Priyanshu Moliya's 132, backed by fifties from Mahesh Pithiya and Deepak Hooda, gave Baroda a 250-run lead over Bihar. At stumps, Bihar reached 4/0 in one over of their second innings and still trail by 246 runs. In Group B, Salil Arora (107 off 226 balls) and skipper Uday Saharan (161 off 299 balls) steered Punjab to 456 against Chhattisgarh, with Arora scoring his second hundred in as many games. Left-arm spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja sent down nearly 56 overs for his seven wickets, but got little support from the rest of the attack. Harpreet Brar then ripped through the Chhattisgarh batting with 5-21 in just eight overs, and leave the visitors at 76/5 at stumps, as they still trail by 384 runs. At Alur, resuming on 281/8, Karnataka were bowled out for 342, with Manvanth Kumar hitting 135 off 214 balls, including 11 fours and six sixes, in what is also his maiden first-class century. Saurashtra's openers Hetvik Kotak (46 off 127 balls) and Harvik Desai (77 off 78 balls) gave a strong start with a 110-run stand. Karnataka, however, hit back either side of tea to reduce the visitors to 128/4, before Arpit Vasavada (25 batting) and Prerak Mankad (13 batting) took them to 164/4 at stumps, as Saurashtra are still 178 runs behind. Tanay Thyagarajan continued his fine start to the season with a five-wicket haul as Hyderabad bowled out Andhra for 184 to take a 91-run lead. Hyderabad were 78/2 at stumps. Assam bowled out Tripura for 62, with Mukhtar Hussain taking 3-23, as the hosts enforced the follow-on. Tripura were 143/5 in their second innings at stumps, but are still 129 runs behind. In Group C, Badoni's 217 off 246 balls powered Delhi to declare at 648/6 against Gujarat, with Sumit Mathur and Anuj Rawat also scoring half-centuries. Gujarat ended the day on 98/2 in 35 overs and trail by 550 runs in Palam. Shahbaz Ahmed and Aamir Gani took four wickets apiece as Bengal dismissed Services for 122. Left-arm spinner Rahul Singh then claimed five wickets to bowl Bengal out for 146 in their second innings, leaving Services needing 209 to win and they reached 12/0 in five overs at stumps. Mohammed Azharuddeen remained unbeaten on 139 as Kerala made 404 against Odisha, while sharing a 99-run stand with Aditya Sarvate, who also scored a fifty. Odisha were 114/3 and trail Kerala by 290 runs. Digvijay Patil's 148 and another century from Ankit Bawne took Maharashtra to 403/5 and get a lead of 234 runs against Jharkhand. In Group D, Sarfaraz's unbeaten 139 off 213 balls, his 18th first-class hundred laced with 18 fours, put Mumbai in complete control at 398/4 against Himachal Pradesh at the Luhnu Cricket Ground, Bilaspur and stretch their lead to 258. Captain Siddhesh Lad (87 off 188 balls) and Musheer Khan (57 off 137 balls) had earlier put on 122 runs for the third wicket. Lad shared a 68-run stand with Sarfaraz for the fourth wicket, while Sarfaraz and Akash Anand (58 not out off 152 balls) then added an unbroken 176 for the fifth wicket to bat Himachal out of the contest. In Chennai, Pradosh Ranjan Paul's gritty 136 off 279 balls, including 12 fours, helped Tamil Nadu take a 179-run first-innings lead over Uttarakhand, before being all out for 313. Resuming on 85/2, Paul curbed his usual attacking instincts and, along with Baba Indrajith (77), shared a 171-run stand for the third wicket. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand. Captain R Sai Kishore removed opener Aarav Mahajan in the first over of Uttarakhand's second innings to leave them at 9/1 at stumps. Karan Lamba and Sachin Yadav were both dismissed for 194 after a 338-run third-wicket stand, as Rajasthan made 497 against Railways, who were 46/1 in 24 overs of the first innings and still trail by 451 runs. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand.

Ahan Shetty, Anya Singh, Larissa Bonesi, Vikram Bhatt and Anand Pandit attended the launch of their film 1920 Cold Winter in Mumbai. The event started nearly two hours late, but the team made up for the delay with a unique AV presentation that resembled a virtual coffee-table book. Vikram Bhatt was asked whether his horror film will have enough to attract the Gen Z. Vikram, in his trademark style, raised laughs as he said, Yeh Gen Z ko lekar main bahut pareshan hoon! I am told, 'Gen Z aisa hai, Gen Z waisa hai'. Kaisa hai Gen Z yaar? He added, Horror mein ya toh sound effects se kuch suddenly aata hai. Ya fir slow background music bajta hai aur kuch aata hi nahin hai! You can tell your story in different ways. I am not of the opinion that one should especially make a film with Gen Z. I want audiences of all ages to like my film, not just Gen Z. Sirf Gen Z ka hi haq nahin hai jeene ka. Baaki logon ka bhi hai! He continued, 1920 apne aap mein hi ek alag kisam ki film hai. It's a clear horror film and would be enjoyed by all kinds of audiences. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lipika Varma (@lipikavarma) A journalist asked Vikram Bhatt to comment on the recent firing incident involving Tiger Shroff. However, the host requested the media not to ask questions about the incident. After the event, journalist Lipika Verma asked Ahan Shetty about it and shared the video on her Instagram handle.

Digital Desk | Abohar (Punjab), Oct 19 (IANS) Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said on Monday that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan should apologise to the Bishnoi community and if he does not, there will be dangerous consequences. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has an animosity with Salman Khan due to his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan during the filming of the blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. The actor was convicted by a trial court in 2018, a verdict he has contested in higher courts, and maintains his innocence. Speaking to IANS in the aftermath of an attack on Tiger Shroff, which the Bollywood star narrowly escaped, Ramesh Bishnoi said, As you heard in the audio, I heard the same thing: That we have stopped him and want to warn him again that anyone who works with Salman Khan could face consequences. He added that he was just quoting the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, These are not my words, Im just citing their emotions on the matter. I want to tell Salman Khans family to give up their stubbornness. This is an issue affecting the entire community, and there is widespread anger within it, he added. Ramesh Bishnoi further said that there was anger within the Bishnoi community, and Lawrence is just expressing the entire communitys anger. Lawrence has no personal dispute with Salman Khan, nor is it a personal dispute with the community. The issue is that he has hurt our religious sentiments. There is widespread anger within the community, he added. He further said Lawrence had offered a straightforward solution to Salman Khan, that he should come forward and apologise, but the actor doesnt want to apologise. Bollywood star Tiger Shroff had a narrow escape on Sunday after three men on a motorcycle opened fire at his car in Mumbais Juhu area, leaving the actors driver injured, the police said. According to Mumbais Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone II, Mohit Garg, three rounds were fired at the 36-year-old actors car after he was leaving a playground where he had gone for football practice. The actors driver, who was injured in the incident, was rushed to Nanavati Hospital for treatment, the police said, adding that some others in the area, including an autorickshaw driver, were also hurt. There was panic at the spot of the firing incident, with people running to take shelter after hearing the gunshots. The police cordoned off the crime scene, and the forensic team reached the area to collect evidence. Later, three suspects were arrested, including a minor, by the Rajasthan police in the case on Monday at Kota railway station. Acting on Intelligence that the suspects were travelling to Kota aboard the Pune-Jaipur Express, a police team surrounded and searched the train. The operation was completed in approximately 15 minutes, following which all three suspects were taken into custody. The arrested suspects have been identified as Rehan alias Sukka, a resident of Sonipat in Haryana; Hrithik Kurmi alias Roshan, a resident of Begusarai in Bihar; and a minor. Within hours of the incident, a video clip was circulating on social media in which a man claiming to be Anil Pandit from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for the firing and claimed that it was a warning to Tiger Shroff to stop working with superstar Salman Khan.

Ranji Trophy: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar becomes second Indian batter to hit quadruple ton
Digital Desk | Sovima, Oct 19 (IANS) Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar on Monday has become only the second Indian batter to score a quadruple century in first-class cricket. Sutar achieved this landmark feat when he struck an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland in a Ranji Trophy Plate group match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. Playing in just his second first-class game, left-handed Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to register the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948/49 stands ahead of Sutar's effort in the competition's record books. Sutar, who was on 392 at tea break, reached the 400-run landmark in the 155th over, after which Mizoram declared at 581/9. In all, he faced 517 balls and hit 46 fours and seven sixes. He was on 231 when the last man, Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak, walked out, and the pair went on to add an unbroken 190 for the tenth wicket. Mizoram, who had ended the opening day on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 on day two before Sutar and Lalrempuia took the game away from Nagaland. Its also a record for the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 put on by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991/92. Sutar became only the tenth batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that includes batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Lara holds the record for the highest first-class score with his unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, and also made 400 not out for the West Indies against England in a Test match in 2004. Pakistan's Hanif Mohammed fell one short of 500, and made 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1959. Sutar had made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after securing a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99, being run out one short of a hundred in the second innings, as Mizoram fought back from a 68-run first-innings deficit before losing narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the previous domestic season on the back of strong performances in Mumbai's local leagues. In June, he helped MSC Maratha Royals defend their Mumbai T20 League title and hit back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs from six innings at a strike rate of nearly 120.
