Jharkhand police rescue LJP MLA's son in Ranchi; probe kidnapping claim (Lead)

Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 7 (IANS) Police in Jharkhand's Ranchi on Monday safely recovered Saurabh, the son of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MLA, Janardan Paswan, about one-and-a-half hours after receiving information that he had allegedly been abducted near a university campus, officials said. Preliminary questioning has indicated that he had gone with his friends voluntarily, police said. Saurabh, a law student at Amity University in Ranchi, was traced and recovered from the Assembly police station area after a swift search operation launched by multiple police teams. He is currently being questioned by investigators. Earlier in the day, MLA Janardan Paswan informed police that his son had been abducted by unidentified persons near the main gate of Amity University. According to the legislator, a group of men arriving in three to four Scorpio SUVs assaulted his son and forcibly took him away. He had also claimed that Saurabh's mobile phone was switched off and that his Thar vehicle was found parked outside the university gate. Following the complaint, police, acting on the directions of the Senior Superintendent of Police, formed multiple teams and launched an intensive search operation. Investigators examined CCTV footage from the university campus and nearby areas while also checking vehicles on key routes. During the operation, police tracked Saurabh's mobile phone location and located him safely within about 90 minutes in the Assembly police station jurisdiction. Officials are now questioning Saurabh and some of his friends to establish the sequence of events. Investigators are trying to determine when and under what circumstances he left the university campus and with whom he remained thereafter. Police are also examining the MLA's allegations of abduction and assault. Officials said the exact nature of the incident would become clear only after the completion of the ongoing investigation and questioning.

Neha Dhupia reveals what keeps her relevant on Roadies after 21 years: I have an authentic voice

Actress, entrepreneur and influencer Neha Dhupia recently spoke about staying relevant in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape and adapting to evolving audience preferences. She was joined by Alok Jain, Head of Hindi & English Entertainment at JioStar, at an event focused on how Gen-Z is influencing brands, culture and consumer behaviour. During the conversation, Neha discussed the importance of evolving professionally while retaining an authentic identity. Reflecting on her career and her association with Roadies, she said, People want to hear your stories; you want to sell the same narrative that you believe in. You have to keep evolving all the time but never forget where you actually come from. I know I have an authentic voice and I dont want to pretend to be this other person. Even if Roadies is in its twenty-first year, I am a mother of two, and I take immense pride in saying I didnt think, as a woman in my 40s, I would be on a youth-based show that is loved, that is cult, that will be in its twenty-first year, and I was not married and none of that when I got on the show. But at the same time, I knew the one thing that kept me from getting from that point to here. That I have a voice, that I wanna put it across; I dont wanna offend people. But having said that, I dont think because things are trending I will say something thats not me. I think you can be under different umbrellas, keeping the authenticity intact. Neha also reflected on how her multiple professional roles and motherhood have influenced her perspective. Her comments centred on finding a balance between adapting to changing expectations and remaining consistent with her own voice. The discussion also touched upon the role of entertainment in responding to changing cultural trends and consumer behaviour. Alok Jain highlighted the need for the industry to understand and adapt to generational shifts, sharing, One need not resist change; one needs to accept, understand and adapt to the changing requirements in consumer behaviour. Every new generation is very different than the previous one and for us and the entertainment industry in many product categories, the competition is the next company; in our case, the competition is time because, as people age, consumer behaviour changes. The problem here is how to build fandom and fandom builds when you create opportunities for people to converse and have multiple touchpoints. So what we are doing is we are increasing that surface area of our products, making content available everywhere. When we launched our recent show Hustle, we wanted to be on Spotify; we want to look at live experiences, social media, television, digital, mobile phones, thereby reaching every surface possible! Nehas association with Roadies continues in its twenty-first year, with the actress remaining part of the franchise despite its long-standing evolution as a youth-focused property. The conversation also underlined how changing platforms and audience habits are influencing the way entertainment properties build engagement. Roadies - REBIRTH and Hustle 5 - Apna Homeground are currently available through JioStar and MTV India.

Breetzke, Bosch Replace Injured Pretorius, Simelane In SA Squad For Namibia ODIs

Cricket South Africa: Right-handed batter Matthew Breetzke and seam-bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch have been drafted into the South Africa squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Namibia after Lhuan-dr Pretorius and Andile Simelane were ruled out due to injuries, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Monday. Pretorius, who finished as the leading run-scorer in the recent T20I tri-series win at the Namibia Cricket Ground, sustained a right adductor muscle injury, while pace-bowling all-rounder Simelane suffered a left abdominal muscle strain. The injuries led to the duo being ruled out from the title clash held on Sunday, which South Africa won by 48 runs. Lhuan-dre Pretorius (right adductor muscle injury) and Andile Simelane (left abdominal muscle strain) have been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Namibia, starting on Wednesday. Corbin Bosch and Matthew Breetzke have been called up as replacements, CSA said in its official statement. The twin injury blows forced South Africa to adjust their combination ahead of the T20I tri-series final against Zimbabwe. In the absence of Pretorius, Connor Esterhuizen retained his spot at the top of the batting order alongside Jordan Hermann, while left-hander Tony de Zorzi was drafted into the middle order to bolster the batting lineup. Meanwhile, middle-order batter Jason Smith, who missed the earlier matches due to an adductor strain, has fully recovered and joined the squad in Namibia. Although held back from the tri-series decider, Smith remains available for selection for the three-match ODI series starting on Wednesday.

ED raids Trinamool Rajya Sabha member's newspaper office, other premises

Kolkata, Sep 7 (IANS) An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team on Monday began major search operations at the Kolkata office of the Urdu newspaper 'Akhbar-e-Mashriq', which is owned by the Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member, Nadimul Haque. Sources aware of the development said that besides the main office of 'Akhbar-e-Mashriq' at Park Circus in central Kolkata, simultaneous raids and search operations are being conducted at six other locations in Delhi, Ranchi, and Kolkata that are linked to Haque. The total of the seven locations where the ED raids are being conducted since Monday morning also included the residence of the Trinamool MP at Darga Road in south Kolkata. ED officials have also reportedly reached the residence of Haques son-in-law. Besides Kolkata, 'Akhbar-e-Mashriq' has editions from Delhi, Ranchi, Asansol, Siliguri, Bhopal, Lucknow, and Srinagar. Although ED officials have remained tight-lipped over the details behind the raid, as per preliminary information available, it is in relation to alleged illegal transactions carried out through the bank accounts of the media entity. The financial probe agency has come to investigate allegations of financial transactions in the newspaper's bank account, for which no correspondence has been found. It is learnt that the investigating officials have detected serious irregularities in the accounts of the media entity, hinting at money laundering. The ED, sources said, had decided to interrogate Haque, his family members and the other directors of the media entity in this connection. On early Monday, the ED officials, accompanied by a contingent of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel, arrived at 'Akhbar-e-Mashriq's Park Circus office. While the ED officials, along with some CAPF personnel, entered the office premises, the other CAPF personnel surrounded the office. The office's main entrance was locked to prevent anyone from getting in or coming out of the office. The raids and search operation were ongoing, and as indicated by sources, this operation might be continued for quite some time. Haque had been a Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member since April 2012.

PSL may move to January 2027 as organisers seek to avoid IPL clash

Next year's Pakistan Super League could be held in January after the media rights holders of the T20 event complained about limited advertising revenues during the April-May window when IPL is held in India.

According to a reliable source, media rights holder Walee Technologies who also own a franchise in the eight-team PSL tabled the proposal to have the PSL in January-February.

Bangladesh Sports Minister Wants BPL To Take Place Every Year Amid Credibility Concerns

Bangladesh Premier League: Bangladesh state minister for youth and sports Aminul Haque was unaware of the Bangladesh Premier League's postponement due to credibility issues and wanted the league to take place every year. BCB president Tamim Iqbal had earlier confirmed that the board will not start the BPL until the credibility issues that have hit the tournament are fixed, a move which was welcomed by the franchises but not by the cricketers. The cricketers were later offered increased match fees in the domestic circuit to compensate for the financial issues. Meanwhile, Aminul has called for an annual organisation of the tournament but was not aware of the postponement announced earlier. I only got to know from you (media) just now; I wasn't aware BPL would not take place. BPL is a popular tournament for Bangladesh, Aminul told the media on Sunday in Dhaka. You're saying the board president presented some logical reasons to you all. I think a tournament like the BPL should be held every year. Why it didn't happen, we need to discuss.

Overseas Stars Like Glenn Maxwell And David Miller Are Guiding Local Players Via ETPL, Says Stirling

European T20 Premier League: Veteran Ireland opener Paul Stirling believes the presence of marquee players like Glenn Maxwell and David Miller while playing for the Belfast Wolves in the ongoing European T20 Premier League (ETPL) is accelerating the development of local talent, as they pass on crucial top-level experience to them both on and off the field. The six-team competition has brought two franchises each from Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands in a four-week showdown. The action kicked off in Voorburg, Netherlands, before it shifts to Dublin's Malahide Cricket Club Ground from September 9 and inaugural champions set to be crowned in the final on September 20. Belfast are in prime position to enter the knockouts, as they are at second spot on the points table. Apart from Stirling, Maxwell is in a captain-cum-co-owner role, alongside England's T20 World Cup winning member Chris Jordan and New Zealand's Devon Conway. His fellow Ireland team-mates Tim Tector, Mark Adair, Lorcan Tucker and Matthew Humphreys are also present in the setup. Look, I'm fortunate enough to have got to know these lads over the last few years anyway. But to catch up with them again, they've really been outstanding, particularly with the youngsters at the minute. But we've got the likes of Glenn Maxwell, who's the captain, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Chris Jordan and some really true class players. David Miller came in here and joined us from the third game onwards. So really high-profile players, but it's not just what they give on the field - it's also that experience that they pass on to local young guys and here to improve them. I think you'll see those differences come in quite quickly, Stirling said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Sunday, facilitated by ETPL. Stirling, who has made 108 runs in four games so far, believes that the informal knowledge transfer taking place around the tournament will build much-needed strength in depth for Associate nations ahead of major international events. It's massive. You're going to have ideas from those experienced international guys passing on their knowledge, not just on the cricket field, but in and around the hotel, while having a coffee. It's not like you're only communicating with players on your own side as well. Once the matches are over, I think you're going to see strength and depth being added to these three host nations pretty quickly and hopefully the result of that is that in the next World Cups, you'll see more competitive cricket from the likes of ourselves, Scotland and Holland. He also noted that the league represents a milestone moment by offering local cricketers a viable full-time career path outside of playing international cricket. I mean it's a huge moment. It's been sort of bumbling away in the background about this happening and to be here now, it means a lot. It certainly means a lot for the local players in particular and the youngsters as well - to try and make a living out of cricket basically. There was only one route in the past - that was playing for your national team. Particularly, I'm speaking on behalf of the Irish set-up, and now there's another way to make a living. I think it's just going to make cricket in this country better and more competitive moving forward against the better teams. So, it's been truly exciting and hopefully it's here to stay. Reflecting on his early days in Ireland when central contracts were virtually non-existent, Stirling praised the growth of his country in going from a self-sustaining system to one capable of producing world-class talent, as seen from them beating current T20 World Cup holders India 2-0 in a T20I series at home in June. It's been huge. Certainly back when I started I was in 2008. We didn't have a contract. We were sort of semi-pro at that time. I was fortunate enough to get one of the first full contracts here in Ireland and I think there were maybe only 7 or 8 at that stage. To see where it's got to now, we always had the ability to pull off big wins back in those days against superior opposition I suppose you could say. But to see where the organisation has gone with fully contracting, maybe 20-23 plus contracts playing full-time cricket, I suppose taking the load off county cricket was our sort of the way that we needed to develop and become good cricketers by getting into that system. So to lose that and still be able to produce world-class cricketers is I suppose the aim and I think we've shown that we're capable of doing that. Praising the setup at Belfast Wolves, Stirling expressed satisfaction with how quickly the franchise setup has hit the ground running. It's been really good, to be honest. Just thankful that we've got the tournament off the ropes and we're all playing in it now. It's been a great experience so far - lots of good cricket being played and from our point of view, a couple of wins in there as well. So, we're pretty happy with how everything's transpired so far. You've got to sort of gel pretty quickly and I think we have managed to do that. The Belfast Wolves so far have been a really good set-up - probably one of the best I've been involved with in terms of just being ready to go. I think sometimes with these competitions, they're new, so there's a bit of a lag in getting everything right. We've been spot-on, we've been very fortunate as players to have been involved in this set-up. It's been pretty spotless so far and hopefully long may that continue. But it's been great - we want it to be a success. There's great overseas players here which I think make the tournament worthwhile and hopefully it's there for the long run as I said. Looking ahead, Stirling, the second Ireland mens batter to hit centuries across all international formats, felt the next generation of players have the capabilities to take Irish cricket to greater heights. I suppose it's just to keep improving. I think it's your responsibility when you take a shirt on and for an opening batter like me, it is to try and make sure that you're better than what it was before. We've been spot-on, we've been very fortunate as players to have been involved in this set-up. It's been pretty spotless so far and hopefully long may that continue. But it's been great - we want it to be a success. There's great overseas players here which I think make the tournament worthwhile and hopefully it's there for the long run as I said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Really good talented players are coming through and ones that really want to learn and work hard.

Asur director Oni Sen on not returning for third season: There was nothing new or fresh left for me to bring

The third season of popular psychological thriller series Asur recently went into production. While Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra and Anupriya Goenka are returning in leads to reprise their roles, the new season has undergone a major creative change behind the camera. As Bollywood Hungama recently reported, Oni Sen, who directed the previous two seasons, is not returning for the new season, with the show's showrunner Gaurav Shukla taking on the directorial duties this time. Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Oni Sen reveals that his decision to step away from Asur Season 3 was a natural closure to his journey with the franchise. Likemeaningful chapters in life, my personal directorial journey with Asur reached its natural conclusion. After pouring everything I had into two seasons, I realized I had given it all, and there was nothing new or fresh left for me to bring to that specific directorial table, the filmmaker says. Following Sens departure, Gaurav Shukla, who served as the lead writer and showrunner on the previous seasons of Asur, has taken the directorial reins to himself. He is co-directing the new season with ad filmmaker Shwetabh Varma.Sen says passing the baton wasn't an easy decision, but he has confidence in the new team. Knowingthat Gaurav and Shwetabh are taking the director's chair for the new season fills me with immense comfort and excitement. They will surely do a great job. I wish them, and the entire team, nothing but the absolute best as they carry this story forward. For Sen, Asur remains a landmark that will forever hold a special place in his heart. It was my first long-format narrativedrama. It was a leap into the unknown that turned into an extraordinary journey. The way audiences embraced the show, the overwhelming love we received, and the cult following it built over two seasons is something every filmmaker dreams of. Even today, barely a week goes by without someone stopping me to ask the exact same question with unmatched excitement: When is Asur 3 coming out? the director reveals. Looking back at the making of the first two seasons, the director credits the shows writing team, the casts commitment to the characters, and a relentless crew for helping create a world that resonated strongly with viewers. Building Asur across Seasons 1 and 2 was a thrilling, beautiful, and intensely collaborativeexperience. I was lucky to have a fantastic writing team, an exceptional cast who gave their absolute souls to these characters, and a relentless crew, Sen remembers. Together, we managed to build a world that left a lasting mark on Indian web series history. Oni Sen is currently celebrating the massive success of his latest Netflix series, Operation Safed Sagar. The large-scale war drama has received widespread love and acclaim for authentically portraying Indian Air Force personnel, their conflict, and their professional and personal challenges they faced during the 1999 Kargil war. The show stars Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Varma, Dia Mirza, Mihir Ahuja, Adil Hussain, and Prajakta Koli in lead roles.

Kallanai set to release Cauvery water for Delta irrigation today

Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Water released from the Mettur Dam has reached the historic Kallanai in Tiruchi district, paving the way for its discharge into the Cauvery delta irrigation network on Sunday morning. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the Mettur dam on September 1 to supply water to the Cauvery-irrigated regions. The initial release of 5,000 cubic feet per second was subsequently increased to 7,000 cusecs as officials monitored inflow and requirements of farmers in the delta districts. The released water crossed the Mukkombu regulator in Tiruchi district before reaching Kallanai on Saturday morning. However, because the volume arriving at the barrage remained relatively low, the structure had not filled completely by evening. Water had accumulated near the sluice gates leading to the Cauvery, Vennar and Kollidam rivers. Officials said water would be released from Kallanai on Sunday for delta irrigation. The discharge is expected to benefit agricultural areas served by the network of rivers and channels branching from the ancient barrage, a crucial distribution point in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery system. Six ministers -- Anand, Vinoth, Ramesh, Shahjahan, Mohamad Parvez and Rajkumar -- are scheduled to attend the opening ceremony. MLA Vijay Saravanan, Thanjavur District Collector Revathi, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Jayakumari and Monitoring Engineer Dileepan will also participate, along with Members of Parliament and other legislators. The ceremony will be held in a festive atmosphere. Ministers and senior guests will be escorted from the palace area to the barrage with drums and traditional percussion instruments as part of the customary Kallanai celebrations. Special prayers have also been conducted at the Anjaneyar temple on the banks of the Kollidam and at the Vinayakar and Karuppannasamy temples ahead of the release. According to figures available on Saturday evening, the water level in the Mettur reservoir stood at 92.25 feet. The dam was receiving an inflow of 8,075 cusecs, while 7,000 cusecs were being discharged. Farmers across the delta will closely watch the flow over the coming days, as the timely movement and regulated distribution of Cauvery water are critical for standing crops and seasonal cultivation in Thanjavur and neighbouring delta districts. Water Resources Department officials are expected to adjust releases in accordance with reservoir inflows, field requirements and conditions across the canal system.

'Heartbreaking news': J'Khand CM Soren mourns passing away of Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu

Ranchi, Sep 6 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday mourned the death of state minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, describing him as an elder brother whose departure had left a void in his life that could not be expressed in words. In a post on X, Soren said he received the heartbreaking news of Sudivya Kumar Sonus passing late at night and described the news as extremely difficult to accept. Sonu Bhaiya was not just a senior colleague or political associate to me. He was like an elder brother -- affectionate, guiding, and steadfastly standing by my side in every difficult time, Soren wrote, adding that the moments spent with him and the lessons learned from him would always remain with him. Recalling Sonus association with the Jharkhand movement, the Chief Minister said he had stood with full devotion and strength alongside the late Baba Dishom Guruji. He further stated that as a dedicated soldier of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Sonu devoted his life to the struggle for Jharkhands identity, rights and pride. His dedication to Jharkhandiyat and his indomitable spirit will always be remembered, Soren wrote. He added, Sonu Bhaiya, your passing is a personal loss for me. Your absence will always be felt. I will carry your affection, your struggles, and your commitment to Jharkhand with me for life. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey described the ministers death as deeply sorrowful and deeply painful, saying his untimely departure had created a void in Jharkhand politics that would be difficult to fill. He termed it an immense loss for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and prayed for peace for his soul. Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi also expressed shock over the sudden death. Marandi said he initially found the news difficult to believe after learning about it through media reports, before confirming it through his contacts in Giridih. Even though Sudivya Sonu belonged to a different political party, he was from our town, and we had known each other since the beginning, Marandi said, describing him as quite popular and calling his sudden death a shock to his family, society and everyone who knew him. Congress leader Rajesh Thakur described the death as very tragic and said Sudivya Kumar was a close associate. He recalled speaking with him just two or three days ago when the minister was in Bengaluru on an exposure visit related to tourism. Meanwhile, Dr Shahzad Sheikh said the minister was brought to the hospital at around 2:15 am after experiencing chest pain for about two hours. The doctor said he had aspirated after vomiting, requiring immediate intubation to secure his airway. An ECG showed signs of a heart attack, while his blood pressure was unrecordable, the doctor said. Inotropes and vasopressors were started, but around 10 to 15 minutes later, the patient collapsed, and CPR was initiated. Sudivya Kumar Sonu, who held several key portfolios in the Jharkhand government, passed away despite medical efforts. His death has triggered widespread mourning across Giridih and Jharkhand, with political leaders, party workers, officials and members of the public expressing grief over his sudden demise.
