22.84 lakh cases pending in Jharkhand SIR, over half of No Mapping records yet to be verified
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Nov 4 (IANS) With only 26 days to go for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Jharkhand to be completed, a substantial number of voter records are yet to be verified and updated. Of the 59.53 lakh cases identified under the categories of No Mapping and Logical Discrepancy, only 36.69 lakh have been resolved so far, leaving 22.84 lakh cases pending. They include 7.95 lakh No Mapping cases and 14.88 lakh Logical Discrepancy cases. According to data released by Jharkhand Chief Electoral Officer K. Ravi Kumar, as of November 4, the state recorded 14,04,033 No Mapping cases, of which only 6,08,618 have been disposed of and updated on the ECINet portal, representing 43.35 per cent of the total. As a result, 7,95,415 cases in this category remain unresolved. The performance has been comparatively better in the Logical Discrepancy category. Out of 45,49,961 such cases identified across the state, 30,61,159 cases, or 67.28 per cent, have been resolved. However, 14,88,802 cases are still pending verification and correction. Under the No Mapping category, election authorities verify records of voters whose names, or those of their family members, could not be linked to the 2003 electoral roll. Logical Discrepancy cases involve scrutiny of inconsistencies between old and current voter records, including abnormal age gaps between parents and children or discrepancies in family relationship details. District-wise figures show that West Singhbhum has achieved the highest disposal rate in No Mapping cases at 96.16 per cent, followed by Lohardaga (80.04 per cent), Deoghar (75.25 per cent), Ramgarh (63.19 per cent) and Gumla (61.01 per cent). In contrast, Giridih (19.52 per cent), Sahibganj (21.03 per cent), Palamu (25.25 per cent), Pakur (28.86 per cent), and Ranchi (29.03 per cent) have recorded the lowest progress. In the Logical Discrepancy category, West Singhbhum (99.72 per cent) and Lohardaga (99.08 per cent) lead the state, while Pakur (45.88 per cent), Sahibganj (48.57 per cent), Palamu (49.55 per cent), Ranchi (52.02 per cent) and Garhwa (54.63 per cent) remain among the weaker performers. The state has, however, made significant progress in the Other Category, completing 97.91 per cent of the work. Out of 1.61 crore cases, 1.58 crore have already been processed and updated on ECINet. Lohardaga has achieved 100 per cent completion, while West Singhbhum, Deoghar, Chatra, and Khunti have also recorded near-total completion rates. Chief Electoral Officer K. Ravi Kumar has directed districts with low disposal rates to accelerate the verification process. He has asked district election officials to conduct regular reviews and implement special action plans to ensure the timely completion of pending hearings and verification work before the SIR deadline.

Niyati Koustubh Lokur: When all-rounder Prema Rawat walked out to bat for Uttarakhand against Hyderabad in the Senior Womens T20 Trophy game in Pune on Monday, there was not much time left. She came in to bat at number four in the 18th over, and Uttarakhands total was 129/2. At that time, the main objective for Prema and Raghvi Bist was to take Uttarakhand past 150 at least. But what followed next was pure carnage in fourteen balls, Prema notched up a sensational half-century. She ended unbeaten after hitting six fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 357, as Uttarakhand posted 187/2. That 14-ball fifty from Prema sits on top of the list for fastest fifty in womens T20 cricket, one ball quicker than the previous best of the 15-ball mark shared by Marie Kelly (Warwickshire, 2022), Fatima Sana (Pakistan, 2026) and Laura Harris, who did it twice, for Otago in 2025 and Surrey in 2026. With reverse hits, as well as loft and whip making appearances, Prema, who chose cricket over hockey in her formative years, hit Sakshi Rao for three boundaries in a row, and then took 18 off an over of Vanka Pooja and finished with 6, 4, 4, 6 against Kunchala Niteesha on the last four balls of the innings. Prema was still not done - she removed G. Kavyasree and N. Kranthi Reddy with her leg-spin to finish with 2-12, as Uttarakhand restricted Hyderabad to 98/8 and won by 89 runs. Prema and the Uttarakhand camp were unaware about her making the world record till match referee Niyati Koustubh Lokur said about it after the game ended. At the presentation ceremony, the referee came and gave the Player of the Match award and told me that it was a world record to get a fifty in 14 balls. Thats how all team members and coaches came to know that it was a world record. I felt normal on hearing that. But yes, I felt good that it was a world record, Prema told IANS in an exclusive conversation from Pune. Prema celebrated this landmark feat by making a trip to the cinema hall and watching Rajinikanths latest Tamil flick Jailer 2. As someone who likes watching south Indian movies, she felt the movie made for a very good watch. Asked whether it was a treat to herself after getting the world record, Prema replied in the affirmative. Straightforward and very grounded, Prema said there was no grand design in her mind when she walked in to bat. The plan was simple - I wanted to play according to the situation. I knew that when I went, there were a few overs left. So, I wanted to score as many runs as possible for the team. I wasnt thinking about a big score or a record. I was just focussing on every ball and trying to give my best to the team. The boundaries she hit were not at all random. It was completely pre-planned. I was just analysing which bowler I should take on or against which bowler I should play in a certain way and against which bowler, where I can score boundaries in better areas. When I felt confident, I decided to play my natural game and take the chances, said Prema. She was equally quick to share the credit with Raghvi, who has played two T20Is for India and made an unbeaten 72 off 50 balls. It was simple. We were motivating each other. We believed in each other. The higher the teams score, it will be easier to defend those runs, especially for the bowlers. I felt that it was a complete batting pitch because the ball was coming on the bat very well. I would like to thank Raghvi for my knock, as because of her innings, I was able to score such a big score and make a world record. So, really, really thankful to Raghvi as well. The switch from batting to bowling, Prema said, was very simple. I kept things simple. Just staying in the present. I batted once and forgot about it as I knew I had to bowl because the team needed my bowling. So, just focusing on my bowling and hitting the good length and line was my focus and to do my best for the team. Yes, that happened and I felt really good. Asked whether she had sensed a big day coming for her, Prema denied having any intuition. No, I had only one simple plan. I dont want to think much before going into a game. I have experienced throughout the cricket journey that when I think a lot about doing well, the opposite has happened with me. So, I dont want to think much. I want to keep things simple and just want to stay in the present. If a chance comes, I want to bat as per the merit of the ball. If bowling comes, I want to execute my plans and do nothing else. 2026 has been a big year for Prema, who made her India T20I debut in June during the T20 World Cup game against South Africa in Manchester and has seven wickets in as many games so far. Not only for me, but for all the girls, all the players have a dream and I got that chance. So, first of all, truly grateful for that opportunity. At that level, cricket is something different. Competition is very strong. So, I have enjoyed every moment there. From getting hit for a six to taking wickets for the team, she said. Her World Cup call came when she was busy preparing for India As matches against England A and didnt follow any news about the tournament. It was only when the India A team manager phoned to tell her she had been named as the replacement for the injured Shreyanka Patil, that Prema made the one-two hours journey to join the Indian team in Manchester. They say that you get sensation- it was going on just like that. But it was good. I had the same plan there dont think much. Whenever you get a chance, give your best. It didnt go as planned, but its okay its a part of the game. Think about it and just leave it there. In the present, what can I do to make the future games better? I focused on that, she said. The standout moment for Prema in India colours came against Pakistan in the Asia Cup group stage, where she took 3-9 in Dubai. That experience was very special for me because everyone wants to play international cricket. That too, if you perform so well against Pakistan, as playing against Pakistan is always a big occasion. So, there is and was pressure. But I believe that it was a good pressure and positive pressure for me as that was energising me every time during every ball, every over, during fielding or bowling. I had a simple plan to hit good length and line and just trust your stock ball. So, I did that and because of that, I got three wickets. I felt good that I was able to contribute to the teams victory, she said. Her camaraderie with left-arm spinner N Sree Charani also made for a delightful watch. Cherry, obviously, is the number one T20 bowler in the world. I have a good bond with her and whatever happens, the ups and downs, we share it with each other. Whether on field, or off field, whether its bowling, or doing some comedy things, pulling each others leg, and making fun of each other - I have a good bond with her. Prema traces her current good form to being a regular in the India A team, including winning the Rising Stars Womens Asia Cup earlier this year in Thailand. The India A coaches mapped Premas strong and weak zones across batting, bowling and fielding. The chase of 363 in the 50-over series decider against Australia A in Mohali, she said, was crazy. India A was a very big turning point for me. From there, I got the confidence that I can play at a higher level as well. I can change my mindset and analyse the situation. I can execute my plan B or plan C immediately. Obviously, from there, I got to know what areas I should improve in. After that, I worked harder and believed more in myself. Prema was part of Royal Challengers Bengalurus title-winning sides in the 2025 and 2026 WPL, with three wickets in six games, and has been retained for 2027. Playing in front of such big crowds, she said, was an education in itself. It feels good. First of all, thanks to RCB for retaining me. My role will be the same as what I am doing here and in the Indian team. I will have the same role in RCB if I get a chance to be in the playing eleven and how much I can contribute to the team. I have learnt a lot from being in RCB. I have gained confidence, especially how to handle various situations because, coming from domestic cricket and playing for RCB is such a big jump. Like, its a big franchise and it has such a big fan base. So, I have also experienced that aspect. I have also learnt how to handle that pressure. I have also shared the dressing room with many experienced players and got to know about their hard work, discipline and pressure handling skills. The environment there is very positive and everyone supports each other. Back home, her record 14-ball fifty came as a surprise. Yes, they are feeling proud. Its a bit shocking for them as I am an all-rounder and kahi na kahi achanak se hi hua hai (they think that this has happened all of a sudden). They also got to know about it all of a sudden, just like how I found out. They were shocked, but were proud of me at the same time. At times, they do say, Sarkari job lelo karke (Take up a government job). But its okay thats not important for me right now. Cricket is important to me. But overall, the family mahaul (atmosphere) is very good. Prema also credited the womens Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) for the exposure and chance to play in televised games. Its very important because as far as I know, I got noticed from there by many people through the opportunities I got in the state T20 league. It gave me a good platform to show my talent and get noticed. First of all, I would like to thank the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand for the womens UPL. Playing in the league helped me understand my game better and prepare me for the bigger opportunities. The young players coming from this league are very good and get to show their talent and be noticed. Former Uttarakhand coach Anagha Deshpande was another big influence on Prema. Anagha mam was with us for a long time. She had been very supportive and calm throughout the games. She helped a lot of players, whether it is on the field or off the field, as well as emotionally. Actually, she did a lot of work on us. She helped us a lot in how we can grow in various ways. Like, the more we talk, the more we will know about our game. The more we learn and tell each other about knowing and understanding our game and improving as players, she made us understand that.

BBL 16: Mustafizur Rahman Joins Melbourne Renegades For Maiden Stint
Big Bash League: Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is set to make his Big Bash League debut after signing with the Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming BBL 16 season, with the franchise bringing in the experienced left-armer to reinforce its pace attack following Jason Behrendorffs injury. Behrendorff, one of the most successful bowlers in the tournaments history and its fourth-highest wicket-taker, will miss the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The Renegades have turned to Mustafizur, widely known as The Fizz for his deceptive cutters and variations, to fill the void. The 31-year-old brings considerable experience to the Australian T20 competition, having represented Bangladesh in 271 international matches across formats. He has also established himself as a regular presence in franchise cricket, collecting 423 wickets in 331 T20 appearances at a strike rate of 16.9. Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi believes the Bangladesh internationals ability to deliver breakthroughs at different stages of an innings will add a valuable dimension to the bowling unit. Mustafizur is a proven match-winner in T20 cricket all over the world. His ability to take wickets in both the Powerplay and at the death is exactly what we wanted in our attack. BBL audiences love a player who can change a game in a single over and Mustafizur can do just that. Every ball has the potential to produce something special, and our fans are going to love watching him bring the theatre across the summer, Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi said in a statement. Mustafizurs recent performances against Australia further underline his credentials. During Bangladeshs ODI series against Australia in June, he claimed 3-27 in Mirpur to help the hosts secure an unassailable 2-0 advantage in the three-match contest. His franchise career includes nine Bangladesh Premier League campaigns and eight IPL seasons. He was also part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad that won the IPL title in 2016, his debut season in the competition. Expressing excitement about his first Big Bash assignment, Mustafizur said he was particularly looking forward to playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I am looking forward to playing in the BBL for the first time with the Melbourne Renegades. It will be special to play at the MCG as my home ground and Im excited to join my teammates and bring my experience to the squad, Mustafizur said in a statement. Mustafizur will not be available for the Renegades historic season opener against Perth Scorchers in Chennai because of his commitments with Dubai Capitals in the ILT20. However, he is expected to be available for the remainder of the tournament. He becomes only the third Bangladesh player to feature in the Big Bash, following Shakib Al Hasan and current Hobart Hurricanes recruit Rishad Hossain.

14-year-old student found hanging in hostel room, family alleges harassment
There was a time when the question of Bollywoods biggest superstar inevitably revolved around the three Khans. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan dominated the conversation for decades, with each enjoying extraordinary box-office success. But as Hindi cinema prepares for the release of Ramayana, an interesting question arises: Is Ranbir Kapoor finally ready to challenge this hierarchy? Ranbirs rise has been anything but straightforward. Unlike several stars whose careers have been built around a recognisable commercial formula, Ranbir has constantly experimented. He has played a troubled musician in Rockstar, a charming young man in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a conflicted son in Animal and now takes on the responsibility of portraying Lord Rama in Ramayana. The numbers demonstrate just how far he has travelled. Sanju (2018) opened at Rs. 34.75 crores and went on to collect Rs. 342.53 crores in India. Five years later, Animal (2023) took an extraordinary opening of Rs. 63.80 crores and finished with Rs. 556.36 crores. Between the two came Brahmastra (2022), which opened at Rs. 36 crores and collected Rs. 257.44 crores. These films also highlight something interesting about Ranbirs career. His biggest successes havent necessarily followed the same template. Sanju was a biographical drama, Brahmastra was a fantasy spectacle, while Animal was an intense, adult-oriented action drama. The common factor was Ranbirs ability to attract audiences to substantially different cinematic experiences. However, the journey hasnt been without setbacks. Shamshera (2022) managed just Rs. 42.48 crores in its lifetime despite its large-scale action setting. This demonstrates that Ranbirs name alone cannot guarantee success. Like every other superstar, he still depends on the material, director and audience response. This is where Ramayana becomes particularly significant. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has the potential to expose Ranbir to an unusually broad audience. While Animal appealed strongly to viewers seeking intense action and drama, Ramayana is positioned as a family-oriented mythological spectacle with appeal across generations, languages and international markets. If successful, it could give Ranbir something that even a blockbuster like Animal couldnt fully provide: a widely recognised heroic identity rooted in one of Indias most familiar stories. The distinction matters. Some of Bollywoods biggest stars became cultural phenomena because audiences identified them with memorable characters over several decades. Shah Rukh Khans romantic image, Salmans larger-than-life mass persona and Aamirs reputation for carefully selected projects were all built gradually. Ranbir has arguably been less dependent on a single screen identity. His versatility is his strength, but it also makes his superstardom harder to define. Ramayana could change that. There is another factor worth considering. Ranbir occupies an interesting generational position. He has been around long enough to build a substantial body of work, but is younger than the three Khans. This offers him the possibility of attracting audiences who grew up watching his films while continuing to reach newer viewers. Nevertheless, declaring him Bollywoods biggest superstar purely on the strength of Ramayana would be premature. Superstardom is not measured by one blockbuster. It depends on consistent opening-day pull, audience loyalty, repeat viewership, longevity and the ability to attract crowds even when the film does not belong to an established franchise. The Khans have repeatedly demonstrated that kind of drawing power over several decades. Ranbirs next challenge is to prove that his success is equally sustainable. The decisive question, therefore, isnt simply whether Ramayana can become Ranbir Kapoors highest-grossing film. It is whether the film can elevate his standing to a level where his presence becomes an event in itself, irrespective of the director, genre or franchise. If Ramayana delivers on its enormous expectations, Bollywoods superstar conversation could enter a fascinating new phase. The Khans legacy will remain secure. But the battle for the next era of Hindi cinema may finally have a serious frontrunner. Also Read: Dhurandhar The Revenges Rs. 100 crore single-day feat is Ramayanas FIRST TARGET!

Raj CM's father casts vote in ancestral village, appeals to people to take part in polling
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Kishan Swaroop Sharma, the father of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, cast his vote in the ongoing panchayat elections in the state on Tuesday in his ancestral village of Atari.

The villagers said Nagla Singhada was earlier part of Singhada Gram Panchayat but has now been merged with Bangaspura Gram Panchayat, located around four km away. They demanded that the village either be restored to Singhada Gram Panchayat or be granted independent Gram Panchayat status. After learning about the boycott, Tehsildar Nitesh Kumar Goyal reached the village and attempted to persuade the residents to participate in the polling. However, the villagers remained firm on their demands. The polling for the third phase of the Rajasthan Panchayat elections began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and will continue until 6 p.m. The phase covers 377 wards across 27 Zila Parishads and 2,119 wards across 116 Panchayat Samitis. The electoral fate of 9,094 candidates will be decided in this phase. Around 1.06 crore eligible voters are entitled to exercise their vote, including more than 51.33 lakh women. With the conclusion of the third phase of panchayat polls, only the fourth and final phase will remain. It is scheduled to be held on November 14 after the Diwali break.

Harmer Questions Lack Of Specialist Spin-bowling Coaches In England, Backs Carl Crowe For Key Role
Wales Cricket Board: South African spinner Simon Harmer has questioned England's approach to developing young spinners, claiming a lack of specialist coaching is holding them back, and urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to appoint Carl Crowe as a national spin-bowling consultant. Harmer, who has spent the last 10 seasons playing county cricket for Essex, believes England have enough talented spinners but are failing to provide them with the necessary guidance and resources to take their game to the next level. I just think there's a lack of spin-bowling coaches in England. I worked with Carl Crowe for the first time with Durban Super Giants in the SA20, and he is an absolute genius when it comes to spin bowling. He understands the game, he understands the biomechanics of spin bowling, and how he isn't being utilised more within the county system, I don't understand, Harmer told the Sky Cricket podcast. The South African, who recently produced a match-winning performance against Australia with figures of 6/16 in the fourth innings at Newlands, argued that young spinners often struggle to receive specialised guidance when their county bowling coaches are primarily fast-bowling specialists. If you go and you play against a county and the bowling coach is a fast bowler, and he's there trying to help develop a young spin bowler. Now, for me as a spinner, I have certain transferable things that I could probably say to a fast bowler, but I certainly don't know how to make that bowler better or how to develop that bowler, he said. Harmer stressed that the problem was not a shortage of resources but a lack of willingness to establish the right structures within county cricket. He believes Crowe, who previously worked as an assistant coach at Lancashire and is currently involved with three Super Giants franchises, could help address the gap. It's not a lack of resources. It's just a lack of want to get those structures into the county game. How you aren't using Carl Crowe as a consultant and going and working with different spinnersAs a result of that, a lot of spinners feel isolated; they feel alone, they don't feel like they have the needs and the means for them to take their game to the next level, he added. Harmer also identified Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir and Jack Carson as bowlers with the ability to represent England at the international level, but questioned how they were being developed outside the national team's set-up. It's something that needs to be looked at because if you look at Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir, Jack Carson, they are all good enough to play international cricket. But how are these guys being developed when they are not with the England national team? he said. While acknowledging that Jeetan Patel is involved with England's spin-bowling set-up, Harmer questioned the extent of his involvement in county cricket and felt the ECB needed to take a more proactive approach rather than waiting for a shortage of quality spinners to emerge. You've got Jeetan Patel who's working with the spinners there, but I haven't seen him working with spinners at a county game or coming to watch. I just think it's something that needs to be looked at. And what happens is that England will wait until they don't have any spinners and then they will start to try and problem-solve instead of being proactive, he said. Again, it's not because there aren't enough good spinners in England. There are plenty, but they just don't have the tools necessary to upskill, he added. The ECB has recently appointed Richard Dawson as its elite national spin-bowling lead, a role aimed at strengthening the development of spinners, although he will also work as one of Stephen Fleming's assistants in England's Test set-up. Patel is no longer involved with the Test team but remains one of Brendon McCullum's white-ball assistants. Harmer's comments come ahead of England's upcoming Test tour of South Africa, where head coach Stephen Fleming has hinted that the visitors could rely on four specialist fast bowlers and part-time spin options. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands. For me, Jack Leach would be the guy. If you are going to play a spinner at those venues, you need, in the first innings, somebody who can hold from one end so that your seamers can rotate and attack, and come and bowl four overs of aggressive fast bowling, Harmer said. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands.

It Is Time For UP Warriorz To Think In The Direction Of An Indian Captain: Veda Krishnamurthy
UP Warriorz: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy believes UP Warriorz should consider appointing an Indian player as captain for the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, suggesting that handing the responsibility to experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma could give the franchise greater flexibility while selecting their overseas combination. The franchise has assembled a squad featuring several prominent overseas names, including Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield, Sophie Ecclestone, Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris. With only four overseas players permitted in the playing XI, Veda feels an Indian captain could help UP Warriorz avoid selection decisions being influenced by the leadership responsibilities of an overseas recruit. She identified Deepti, who has been associated with the franchise since the inaugural edition, as a strong candidate for the role, while suggesting that Lanning could still contribute to the leadership group without necessarily wearing the captain's armband. I am a big fan of having an Indian player as captain. That solves a lot of problems when you talk about the overseas combination. When you have Deepti Sharma, who has been there for four years, I honestly feel it is time for UP Warriorz to think in that direction. They can say that Deepti is the captain. You always have Meg Lanning there, who can probably guide her. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar. Vedas suggestion comes at a time when UP Warriorz have multiple overseas players competing for limited places, making the captaincy question an important part of their team-building exercise. She also pointed towards the potential complications of having an overseas captain who may not necessarily be an automatic selection based on current form or team requirements. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar.

BJP accuses AISA's Neha Bora of 'Hindu hate', claims she is 'inspired' by LoP Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on All India Students' Association (AISA) President, Neha Bora over her remarks on the Brahmanical system and religious institutions. The BJP alleged that she was displaying Hindu hate and shared an old statement in which she alleged that priests commit rapes inside temples. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari targeted Bora over the comments and alleged that her views were influenced by Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, Rahul Gandhi. He also alleged that the Congress was harbouring hostility towards Hindus, claiming that the party's approach posed a threat to the country's unity. Taking to social media platform X, Bhandari shared Bora's remarks and drew a comparison with an earlier statement attributed to Rahul Gandhi concerning the safety of women in temples. Neha Bora, poster girl of Rahul Gandhi, displays her Hindu hate! Says - 'Pujaris rape in temple'. She is inspired by Rahul Gandhi, who earlier had said 'Mandiro main ladkiyon ke sath ched chad hoti hai'. Congress hates Hindus, loves vote bank! Congress Soch is a threat to India's unity! Bhandari alleged in his post. The controversy erupted after Bora made the remarks while extending support to an impeachment resolution against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The resolution and the criticism surrounding the Election Commission have been part of the ongoing political debate over the revision of electoral rolls which the Opposition claims have resulted in the disenfranchisement of 13 crore Indians. Bora had earlier accused the authorities of deliberately deleting voters' names and committing procedural violations during the electoral roll revision exercise. Following these allegations, Bora turned her attention to caste-based discrimination and the role of religious institutions, arguing that women and other vulnerable sections required protection from what she described as the Brahmanical system. Protection is absolutely necessary - and it is precisely from the Brahmanical system that such protection is required. This is a system which posits that the poor, the oppressed, animals and women are all deserving of subjugation and abuse. It is the very same system under which even Brahmin women are unsafe and fall victim to rape. Priests commit rapes inside temples. We have witnessed such instances... Bora said.

Ayushmann Khurrana has built his filmography around stories that often step away from conventional Bollywood templates while retaining their mainstream appeal. From making his debut with Vicky Donor to starring in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Andhadhun and Dream Girl, the actor has explored different genres and subjects. With Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa adding to his upcoming slate, Ayushmann says he intends to continue backing stories that offer audiences something different. Speaking about his approach to choosing projects, the actor emphasised that experimentation has remained central to his journey. I have always believed in walking the road less travelled. Whether it is from Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dream Girl, Andhadhun to Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya or Mupapa, my choices continue to reflect that and I want to keep exploring stories that are content-forward and break away from the expected. It is the audience's trust in my choices that gives me the confidence to take risks and the freedom to experiment, challenge myself and move between genres. Ayushmanns filmography has included social comedies, romantic dramas and dark thrillers, allowing him to move between different storytelling spaces rather than remain associated with a single genre. At a time when franchises, large-scale spectacles and familiar formulas continue to occupy a significant space in the industry, the actor believes there is still room for films that take a different approach. He also spoke about the importance of balancing unusual premises with entertainment, adding that audience acceptance ultimately encourages him to keep experimenting. As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of films that offer them something new while keeping entertainment at the heart of it. The love Udta Teer continues to receive is humbling, and it only tells me that audiences are always ready for something different. They will embrace a fresh perspective, an unusual premise or a new way of storytelling, as long as it entertains and connects with them. I'm thankful to every director, writer and team that has trusted me with these stories, and to the audience for showing that unconventional stories can find a place in mainstream entertainment, he added. With Udta Teer receiving attention and Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa representing different facets of his upcoming work, Ayushmann continues to explore varied narratives. His latest comments underline his intention to keep choosing projects that combine distinctive storytelling with theatrical entertainment.

Mahadev App kingpin Sourabh Chandrakar likely to be produced in Raipur court today
Digital Desk | Raipur/New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to bring Sourabh Chandrakar, the promoter and key accused in the Mahadev App illegal online betting cases, to Raipur on Tuesday. He will then be produced before the special court in Raipur. He was successfully extradited from Oman two days ago. A specially deputed CBI team had escorted him back to India. Chandrakar, who is wanted in two CBI cases in which chargesheets have already been filed and in an Enforcement Directorate case where a prosecution complaint has been submitted, will be medically examined and produced before the CBI Special Court in Raipur after the completion of transit remand formalities. The CBI is investigating the Mahadev Online Book cases on the request of the Chhattisgarh government, which had transferred 13 related FIRs to the agency. Chargesheets have already been filed in two of these cases. The Enforcement Directorate is also probing the money-laundering angle and has filed a prosecution complaint against Chandrakar. Delhis Rouse Avenue Court has granted the CBI a two-day transit remand for Chandrakar. The agency will take him to Raipur and produce him before a special court there on or before November 4, where it is expected to seek his further remand for interrogation in the Mahadev online betting case. The CBI had taken up the investigation into the Mahadev Online Book cases at the request of the Government of Chhattisgarh. Investigations revealed that the Mahadev Online Book was one of the largest illegal online betting syndicates in the country, operated from outside India. It offered illegal betting on cricket, football, card games and other events through a network of franchised panels and branches spread across India. The proceeds were routed through a large number of mule bank accounts, layered through multiple transactions and moved abroad through hawala channels. Part of the proceeds was allegedly used to pay protection money to public servants so that the syndicate could operate without hindrance. The CBI had filed chargesheets under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and provisions of the Indian Penal Code relating to criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery, as well as under the Chhattisgarh Gambling (Prohibition) Act. Chandrakar is among the key accused named in these chargesheets. The Enforcement Directorate had also attached several properties in India and abroad linked to the syndicate. Based on a Red Corner Notice, Chandrakar was located and detained by the Royal Oman Police. The CBI and ED sent formal extradition proposals to Oman along with the evidence gathered against him. The extradition request was pursued in close coordination with Indian agencies, the Interpol National Central Bureau and the competent authorities of Oman. After the extradition was granted, a CBI team travelled to Muscat and brought him back to India. The CBI has expressed gratitude to the Government of the Sultanate of Oman and the Royal Oman Police for their cooperation.

US Supreme Court rejects Trump admin's push to set aside California ballots
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a push for California to set aside thousands of mail ballots from people President Donald Trump's administration claims are noncitizens, a decision that comes on the eve of the pivotal midterm elections. The high court refused to intervene in a case involving 20,000 people the Republican administration flagged as likely noncitizens on the largely Democratic state's voter rolls. It was the latest in a flurry of election-related litigation the day before the midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress for the last two years of Trump's second term. In California, the Trump administration had asked the high court to set aside the challenged ballots until the voters' citizenship status could be verified. But officials there said that the list appeared to be filled with errors and that setting the ballots aside could effectively disenfranchise legal voters. The high court did not detail its reasoning, as is common in emergency decisions.

Trump admin. appeals to Supreme Court to sideline 20,000 mail ballots in California
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump's administration appealed to the Supreme Court on Monday in its push to sideline thousands of disputed California mail ballots the day before the pivotal midterm elections . The emergency appeal came after an appeals court rejected the request to set aside some 20,000 ballots from people the federal government suspects may not be citizens . The federal government says those ballots should not be counted until the voters status can be verified. California officials say the list is highly unreliable and likely includes many people who are U.S. citizens. The Republican Trump administration has prioritized identifying noncitizen voters this year, despite them being rare. A district court judge forcefully denied the Justice Department's request and warned that the demand could disenfranchise citizens in Tuesday's midterm elections to determine control of Congress. The Justice Department asked the high court for a limited injunction that would direct California to set aside the ballots while the case plays out. Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back, Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote. Voting has been underway in California, a largely Democratic state, since early October. All of the states roughly 23 million registered voters are mailed a ballot. Hundreds of thousands of ballots have already been processed. Lower courts have sided with the state, with a district judge warning that segregating ballots would wreak havoc on the midterm elections and erode trust in the democratic process. If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger, wrote U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton, a Democrat. The Justice Department has sought to move the case along quickly, unsuccessfully asking an appeals court to intervene early. The Trump administration has racked up a series of wins in emergency appeals before the Supreme Court, but the justices previously rejected the presidents push to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterms. ___ Follow the AP's coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court at https://apnews.com/hub/us-supreme-court .

BCCI Extends IPL 2027 Retention Deadline To November 17 Due To India-NZ Fifth ODI Clash
Lucknow Super Giants: The BCCI has given all ten IPL franchises two more days to submit their retention lists, as they moved the deadline to November 17. The 2027 IPL player auction will go ahead as planned on December 16 in Goa. IANS understands that the BCCI informed all ten franchises of the two-day extension in an official communication on Monday. The original retention deadline of November 15 clashed with the fifth and final ODI between India and New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. It is understood that the clash with the mens ODI match would have affected the retention announcement and its subsequent coverage, and that prompted the board to move the deadline to November 17. The player registration for the IPL 2027 auction opened on Monday and will end on November 23. It gives players worldwide three weeks to put their names forward for the auction. The entire process, from the opening of registration to the auction, will run for a little over six weeks. Interestingly, the auction day also clashes with an international fixture India will host Sri Lanka in the second mens ODI at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. As of now, theres no sign of moving the auction date, or changing the date on which the ODI game in Bengaluru will happen. The remaining steps follow in quick succession - once registration closes, the auction register will be finalised on November 24. Teams will have time until November 27, to put in requests for additional players, and allow them to ask for names not on the initial register to be added to the pool. Franchises must submit their player auction lists by December 1. The final auction list, along with the sets in which players will go under the hammer, is scheduled to be unveiled on December 3. That leaves a gap of nearly two weeks between the release of the final player list and the auction itself on December 16 for teams to work out their respective strategies. Two trades have been completed so far ahead of the 2027 IPL mini auction. Delhi Capitals (DC) brought back their former captain, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav moving to Lucknow. DC also sent left-arm fast bowler T Natarajan back to 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in exchange for leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari. The dates for the 2027 IPL season are yet to be confirmed. When the IPL announced the windows for three seasons in 2024, it earmarked March 14 to May 30 as the time to host the 2027 season. In September, after the BCCIs annual general meeting (AGM), board secretary Devajit Saikia indicated the tournament could get under way around the end of March. Delhi Capitals (DC) brought back their former captain, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav moving to Lucknow. DC also sent left-arm fast bowler T Natarajan back to 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in exchange for leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
