Pakistan Cyber Crime Investigation Agency Probes Rizwan, Imam Over Suspected Financial Dealings
National Cybercrime Investigation Agency: Pakistan cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq appeared before Pakistan's National Cybercrime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Lahore over the alleged information leaks from the team's dressing room. The Pakistan Cricket Board had reportedly handed the two players' mobile phones to the relevant authorities in the aftermath of their removal, along with five other players from Pakistan's squad for the England Test series. As per a report in Pakistan-based The News International, the NCCIA is examining financial matters and suspected transactions involving the two players. The investigators are probing the financial dealings of the two players before and during the ongoing Test series, as their bank account details are also under scrutiny. The investigators are also looking at any bank account transactions during this period, and if they are found, they will be looking at the source of the funds. Rizwan and Imam were among the seven players released from the squad following the disastrous two Test matches against England. Those seven players were sent home, with the Pakistan Cricket Board injecting seven other players into the squad and later beginning an internal disciplinary inquiry. The two players had appeared before the NCCIA after being summoned in connection with the inquiry into the alleged leaks. The players submitted their written responses and sought additional time from the investigators to give full responses to the notices. The NCCIA is expected to question Rizwan and Imam further too. It quoted sources saying that the PCB took possession of the players' mobile phones and sent them to the NCCIA, as the devices will be unlocked and examined during the inquiry. The inquiry, it added, will be focusing on how sensitive team information might have surfaced during the series. Pakistan cricket seems to be in turmoil again after their poor performances in England. Following their heavy defeats in Leeds and Lord's, PCB removed seven players - Rizwan, Imam, Salman Agha, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar, and Khurram Shahzad from the squad and sent them back home. The PCB also removed Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul from the squad. PCB chair Mohsin Naqvi spoke on the removals, stating the board was left with no option other than to remove the players. Every match of a series is important for us, and we are not left with any option if a player is not performing but to look for his replacement. The purpose behind these changes is not to axe players from contention, but just to replace them. Consider (Salman) Agha, who is a very good player, but he could not click because of some reasons. He was spoken to about it, Naqvi had told Geo Network. Pakistan cricket seems to be in turmoil again after their poor performances in England.

Star Cast: Pratik Gandhi, Arshad Warsi Director: Tigmanshu Dhulia Ghamasaan Movie Review Synopsis: GHAMASAAN is the story of an honest officer and a dreaded gangster. The year is 2006. Maharaj (Arshad Warsi) is a dacoit living in the jungles of Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh along with his army. He is known for terrorizing the local population. Yet, no one has the guts to stand up against him as police and ministers are in cahoots with him. Theres a lot of pressure on the government after opposition leader Kumari Sarojini (Seema Azmi) raises her voice against Maharajs atrocities. To pacify her, Aditya Singh (Pratik Gandhi) an honest officer stationed in Lucknow, is sent with a team of STF officials to the belt where Maharaj operates. Aditya has been told to ensure Maharajs activities are halted and that the election process goes on smoothly. The idea is that once the elections are over, Aditya and his STF contingent will be asked to return. But Aditya is in no mood to follow the order. He reaches the region and attempts to finish off Maharaj. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Ghamasaan Movie Story Review: Piiyush Singh and Ram Yash Singh's story, inspired by true events, is superb. Tigmanshu Dhulia's screenplay is gripping. Tigmanshu Dhulia's dialogues are realistic. This means that they are devoid of any over-the-top or clapworthy one-liners. Tigmanshu Dhulia's direction is praiseworthy. He uses a no-nonsense approach toward telling the story. Hence, there are no romantic or even item songs. The banter between Aditya and his wife Aparna (Ishita Dutta) is neatly woven into the story. In many ways, the film reminds of the OG Dhulia and his memorable flicks like HAASIL [2003], PAAN SINGH TOMAR [2012], SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER [2011], etc. He fleshes out the villain character perfectly. Hence, one feels the scare when he appears on screen or when he commits the atrocities. As a result, one also roots for the protagonist and wants him to finish him off. A few scenes that stand out are Maharaj realizing that Lakhua has been compromised, Aditya and Maharaj speaking for the first time and the intermission point. After the interval, the scene where Aparna gets kidnapped and Aditya tapping his senior's phone are memorable. The pre-climax is very nail biting and also clapworthy. On the flipside, the film has a simple and formulaic story of a cop chasing a goon, with hardly any twists and turns. The narrative stagnates at a point in the second half. The track involving Balaram Yadav (Anurag Thakur) and the Adivasi kids is not fleshed out properly. The finale is unexpected, but it doesnt pack the punch one would have hoped for. Ghamasaan Movie Review Performances: GHAMASAAN belongs to Arshad Warsi. The actor is known for comic roles but here, he terrorizes and how. Its not easy to break his image and excel but Arshad comes out with flying colours. This is surely one of the finest performances of his career. Pratik Gandhi is absent after his entry scene but later on, hes there throughout. He gets a bit overpowered by Arshad but theres no denying that he maintains a strong position and delivers a fine performance. Rajpal Yadav (Kalika) has a very crucial part and like Arshad, even he breaks his image and attempts something different. At the same time, he also raises laughs in some scenes. A performance to watch out for. Ishita Dutta has limited screen time but is fine. Jatin Goswami (Angad) yet again proves that hes a powerhouse of talent. Deepraj Rana (Inspector Harsh), Seema Azmi, Pankaj Saraswat (S K Dubey), Mrityunjay Pandey (Rizwan), Paritosh Sand (Madhura Prasad), Anurag Thakur and Hemant Dandotiya (Lakhua) lend able support. Ghamasaan movie music and other technical aspects: Anuj Garg's music is forgettable. The song Dhaaye Dhaaye is just okay. Anuj Garg's background score is in sync with the film's mood. Dev Agarwal's cinematography enhances the cinematic appeal. Amrish and Daya's production design is authentic while Tulika Dhuliya's costumes are realistic. The action is gory and not for the faint hearted. Sourabh Prabhudesai's editing is nice but could have been slicker in some places. Ghamasaan Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, GHAMASAAN is a gritty and engaging crime drama that benefits from Tigmanshu Dhulias no-nonsense direction, some gripping moments and terrific performances, especially by Arshad Warsi in a never-seen-before avatar

Ghamasaan Movie Review: Arshad Warsi, Pratik Gandhi shine in Tigmanshu Dhulia's uneven crime drama
The name Tigmanshu Dhulia brings to mind stories that seamlessly capture the dust of small towns, the terror of the ravines, the world of crime and the game of politics. In his films, characters aren't just part of the story but carry an entire atmosphere within themselves. This is why, when a film like Ghamasaan comes out, where dacoits, police and electoral politics clash, expectations automatically rise. The film captures a raw, down-to-earth atmosphere, but the story doesn't reach the level it could have. Ghamasaan is a crime-action drama set in the Bundelkhand region, where crime and politics are inseparable. The film has a strong subject, a good cast and the director's experience. Despite this, the biggest problem is that, on many occasions, the film fails to capitalise on its own atmosphere. Some sequences are effective, some dialogues are engaging and the story even picks up steam in the final section. However, when viewed as a whole, it ends up being an average experience. Know the complete review in detail.

Omar government committed to development, prosperity, justice: Showkat Mir
Srinagar, Sep 10:The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Provincial President Kashmir Advocate Showkat Ahmad Mir, Thursday, hailed the people-friendly and welfare-orientated measures undertaken by the Omar Abdullah government. He said that the government has made significant progress in the areas of public welfare, development and provision of basic amenities. He said that this progress has left opponents, including the BJP and PDP, rattled, prompting them to resort to misleading statements, false propaganda and fabricated narratives. However, he said, the people of Kashmir are well aware of the intentions and past record of these self-serving and Kashmir-opposed parties. Interacting with party functionaries, workers and various public delegations from different areas at the party headquarters, Showkat Mir, as per a party statement, said that the positive impact of the public-oriented measures taken by the Omar Abdullah government over the past two years is reaching the people. He said that providing relief to the people remains the governments foremost priority and that every decision and initiative is being undertaken keeping public interests at the centre. From the very first day, he said, the government began taking decisions aimed at public welfare and continues to work along the same lines. Showkat Mir said that the National Conference would continue its selfless service to the people and pursue its struggle for development, prosperity and justice while giving voice to public aspirations. He urged party office-bearers and workers to put in their utmost efforts to further strengthen the party and maintain close contact with the people. He asked workers to remain with the people in their times of happiness and distress, understand their problems and difficulties, and use their influence to help resolve them.

Global press freedom group condemns detention of Pakistani journalist in cybercrime case
Digital Desk | New York, Sep 10 (IANS) A leading international press freedom group has called on the Pakistani authorities to immediately release independent journalist Muhammad Bilal Ghauri and drop the cybercrime case filed against him over his commentary on the appointment of a senior counterterrorism official. The remarks came after a judicial magistrate in Islamabad on Monday approved a request from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) for a three-day physical remand of journalist Ghauri in a case registered under Pakistans Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). Citing the First Information Report (FIR), Pakistani daily Dawn reported that Ghauri allegedly uploaded and circulated content related to the appointment of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) head on September 5. Prima facie, the material allegedly contained assertions and allegations concerning the process and circumstances relating to the appointment of the NACTA national coordinator, the FIR stated. Describing Ghauris detention as an alarming attack on press freedom in Pakistan, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said the incident comes amid growing use of the PECA and other cybercrime laws by authorities against journalists and online commentators. According to CPJ, his detention followed commentary posted on his social media platform X about the circumstances surrounding the appointment of Major General Faisal Naseer as national coordinator of NACTA. The organisation said Ghauri, who covers news through his popular YouTube channel, was reported missing by his family on September 6 after disappearing from the ground-floor office of his home in Islamabad. Authorities later confirmed that he had been detained by the NCCIA, which launched a criminal investigation against him for allegedly violating PECA. Detaining journalist Muhammad Bilal Ghauri for his commentary on the appointment of a public official to a national security agency is a disturbing attack on press freedom in Pakistan. Pakistani authorities should release Ghauri immediately, drop the case against him, and ensure that journalists can scrutinize state institutions without fear of reprisal, said CPJs Afghanistan Pakistan representative Waliullah Rahmani. Highlighting that Ghauri has faced scrutiny in the past for his journalism, the CPJ said that in June 2021, Pakistans Federal Investigation Agency summoned him for questioning over alleged online defamation. Last month, several media professionals, artists, academicians and human rights defenders from across Pakistan warned that the country has been witnessing one of the gravest crisis for freedom of expression in recent decades. The observations were made during a roundtable convened by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) with the support of the European Union (EU). According to the HRCP, the participants raised concerns over unchecked abuse of laws such as the PECA, expanding censorship, surveillance, and arbitrary restrictions on online expression. They also pointed to shrinking access to information, intimidation of journalists, and increasing pressure on independent, regional and digital media in Pakistan.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, September 10 (IANS) Actress and former beauty queen Swaroop Sampat was in for a surprise to find a poster of her husband and icon Paresh Rawals poster featuring his iconic dialogue in Vancouver, Canada. Swaroop taking trip down memory lane, shared a picture from Vancouver, where a wall with Paresh Rawal's poster prominently featured the words TEJA MAIN HU MARK IDHAR HAI, Swaroop took to her social media account and wrote, That iconic Tej main hoon, Mark idhar hai hit so hard its here in Vancouver too!!!! Missing @pareshrawalofficial in Canada! The picture shows Swaroop posing beside the installation, pointing towards her face, replicating the meaning of the dialogue. For the uninitiated, the dialogue Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai, comes from Paresh Rawals performance as Teja in the iconic movie Andaz Apna Apna. In the scene, the mole and mark on Rawals character is what sets him apart from his twin brother. The line has since become one of the most recognisable comic dialogues in Hindi cinema. Talking about the movie, released in 1994, Andaz Apna Apna was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and featured an ensemble cast led by Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor. Paresh Rawal played a double role as Ram Gopal Bajaj and his villainous twin Shyam Gopal Bajaj, better known as Teja. Shakti Kapoor played Crime Master Gogo, while the cast also included Viju Khote, Shehzad Khan, Tiku Talsania and Mehmood. For the uninitiated, the film, which had arrived in theatres in November 1994, did not initially receive a good commercial response and was declaration a flop. However, over the years, through television reruns, home viewing and now also social media, Andaz Apna Apna found a new generation of admirers and gradually acquired cult status. From its dialogues, characters and comic situations, all went to become a part of popular culture. The films soundtrack, composed by Tushar Bhatia with lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, also added to its nostalgic appeal. Songs from the film include Ye Raat Aur Ye Doori, Do Mastane, Dil Karta Hai, Ello Ello, Jaana Tune Jaana Nahin and Shola Shola Tu Bhadke which went on to become superhits. Talking about Swaroop and Paresh Rawal, on the personal front, have shared a relationship that began through their mutual love for theatre. Swaroop in her earlier interviews had stated how the two first met around a theatre festival and eventually spent 12 years courting before getting married in 1987. The couple have two sons, Aditya Rawal and Aniruddh Rawal. Both have followed creative paths in the entertainment industry. Aditya began as a writer before making his acting debut with Bamfaad and later appeared in Faraaz and Subedaar, while Aniruddh has also entered acting. Talking about Swaroop, she herself has had a varied career and had won the Miss India Universe title in 1979 and represented India at the Miss Universe pageant that year. She then appeared in films including Naram Garam, Nakhuda, Sawaal, Himmatwala, Lorie, Karishma and Karamdaata. Her biggest television recognition came with the popular sitcom Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, in which she played Renu.
