Two vessels with 22 Indians on board hijacked off Yemen, Somalia
New Delhi, Aug 21: Two commercial vessels carrying a total of 22 Indian nationals have been hijacked by armed pirates in separate incidents off Yemen and Somalia, a senior shipping ministry official said Friday. The Indian crew members aboard both vessels are safe, according to the latest information available, the official said. The Eritrea-flagged oil products tanker M.T. Sibu 1, carrying 20 crew members, including 16 Indians, was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden on August 20, about 30 nautical miles off the Yemeni coast, the official said. The crew also includes one Syrian, one Sudanese and one Iraqi national, while the nationality of another seafarer has yet to be confirmed. A second vessel, the Cameroon-flagged M/V LUTUF, was hijacked on August 17 off Somalia's Puntland coast, according to the official. The vessel has 10 crew members, including six Indians. The Forward Seamen's Union of India (FSUI) in a post on X raised concerns over dangers faced by Indian seafarers amid the Iran war. It released footage of what it claimed to be a hijacking of a vessel carrying 22 crew members, including 21 Indians, in the Strait of Hormuz on April 22. The footage was posted on Friday and it was unclear if the FSUI was talking of a separate hijacking or the latest ones. The shipping ministry official quoted above said, As reported by Recruitment and Placement Service Licence (RPSL) agency - S K S Krishi Marine Services (Opc) Private Limited, six armed pirates are presently onboard the vessel (M.T. Sibhu-1) and have taken control of the vessel. The RPSL agency has been advised to submit an incident report and subsequent periodic updates through the e-Navik online marine casualty reporting system, the official said. Maritime tracking information indicates the tanker was approached by an unauthorised vessel before control of the ship was lost. The incident occurred as piracy activity off Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden has increased this year. A second vessel, the Cameroon-flagged M/V LUTUF, was hijacked on August 17 off Somalia's Puntland coast, according to the official and maritime security reports. The vessel has 10 crew members, including six Indians. The vessel is reported to have been boarded by eight pirates, armed with AK-47 type weapons and operating from two skiffs. The crew initially mustered in the citadel. However, the pirates gained access and subsequently brought them to the bridge. The vessel is currently under pirate control. No injuries have been reported thus far, he said. The vessel was seized about 3 nautical miles off Marraya in Puntland's Eyl district and was subsequently taken toward Somalia's Nugaal coast, according to a Somali official cited by The Associated Press. The crew includes six Indians, one Turkish national, one Georgian national and two Serbian security guards. Cargo ship M/V LUTUF was carrying Turkish weapons, communications, and satellite equipment and destined for a Turkish military training facility in Mogadishu. The 10-person crew included nationals from India, Turkey, Georgia, and Serbia. The hijackers - eight armed men suspected of involvement in a previous hijacking - steered the ship toward the Nugaal coast. The renewed threat adds to security pressures already facing commercial shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and wider Indian Ocean region, where vessels have also had to contend with attacks linked to the conflict in Yemen. The two hijackings also come as Indian seafarers face heightened security concerns elsewhere in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions involving Iran, Israel and the United States have disrupted one of the world's most important shipping corridors. The developments are particularly significant for India, which has become the world's second-largest supplier of seafarers after the Philippines. The 2026 BIMCO-ICS Seafarer Workforce Report estimates that India supplies 311,936 seafarers, underscoring the country's large exposure to risks affecting merchant crews worldwide.

Shweta Tiwari questions Raj Thackeray over abusive DMs: Is this what being a Marathi Maanus means?
Shweta Tiwari, who is currently appearing in the second season of The Traitors, has spoken out against the online abuse she says she has been receiving on Instagram. The actor alleged that some users identifying themselves as Marathi and supporters of Raj Thackeray have sent her abusive messages. On Thursday, Shweta took to Instagram Stories to address the issue and highlighted what she described as the use of derogatory language against women on social media. She wrote, Today I want to talk about something that is both deeply concerning and unfortunately very common on social media: calling a woman: r****. Any woman. Of any age. From any profession. The actor questioned how people who appear to come from respectable and educated backgrounds could use such language against women online. She also shared screenshots of the profiles from which she said she had received the abusive messages. In another post, Shweta connected the incident to her personal association with Maharashtra. She wrote, I have lived in Maharashtra all my life. My father was brought up in Mumbai. All my life I have grown up seeing the pride and dignity attached to being a Marathi maanus I grew up believing that Marathi culture respected women, their strength and their dignity. Shweta then directly questioned Raj Thackeray over the alleged conduct of his supporters. So when I see people who proudly identify as Marathi maanus coming into women's DMs and calling them r****, I genuinely have to ask: Is this what being a Marathi maanus has come to mean? Raj Thackeray, if people like this are your supporters, then I would genuinely like to know, do you believe this is acceptable behaviour? she said. She concluded by stressing that disagreement or dislike does not justify abusive language towards women. Respect women not only the women you love but women. Period, Shweta wrote. Earlier that day, Shweta had also tagged Maharashtra FDA head Tukaram Mundhe after finding a cockroach in an Instamart delivery. Sharing a video, she said, We ordered Red Bull from Instamart, and we also received a cockroach with that. She later appealed to Mundhe to look into the matter. Mundhe has recently been in the spotlight for the Maharashtra FDAs inspections of food businesses and quick-commerce facilities.

Her confidence, sharp wit, effortless style and strong personality have earned her a growing fan following across social media. Speaking about the audience response, Parul said, The love I am receiving after The Traitors has honestly been overwhelming and deeply touching. As an artist, performer and entrepreneur, there is nothing more rewarding than knowing that people connected with the person they saw on screen. I have always believed that being yourself is your biggest strength, and the fact that audiences have embraced my personality, my confidence and even my quirks makes this journey incredibly special. She added, Being called a diva is definitely flattering, but for me, I want to be remembered as someone who was true to herself and my instinct, played her game with conviction and enjoyed every moment of the experience. The social-media love has also given Parul a new perspective on the connection between reality-show personalities and audiences. Reality shows allow people to see different layers of you. You cannot hide behind a character forever. So when people appreciate you for who you genuinely are, that love feels very real. Every message, comment and post from the audience reminds me why I chose to take this journey, she said.

Abhishek Bachchan has revealed the personal reasons behind his decision to choose Jaipur as the home city for his Pro Kabaddi League team, the Jaipur Pink Panthers. Speaking on the podcast Future Unplugged, the actor-turned-entrepreneur opened up about his emotional connection with the city and recalled that it was also where his relationship with Aishwarya Rai began. Abhishek acquired the Jaipur team in 2014, ahead of the inaugural season of the Pro Kabaddi League. The team went on to win the first and ninth seasons of the league. Explaining why he picked Jaipur for his first venture into sports, Abhishek said, Jaipur is where I shot a part of my first film. It was an auspicious thing to start something new. Abhishek made his Bollywood debut with JP Duttas 2000 romantic drama Refugee. While the film was primarily shot in Kutch, Gujarat, some portions were filmed in Jaipur as well. The actor revealed that Jaipur held an even deeper significance because of his relationship with Aishwarya. It was also a city where Aishwarya and I started dating. It has an emotional part, he said. The couple worked together on Umrao Jaan in 2006, portions of which were shot in Jaipur. Their relationship reportedly began around the time they worked on the film. Abhishek also explained the inspiration behind the teams name. While Jaipur is famously known as the Pink City, the choice of pink had a personal reason. It was my daughters favourite colour at that point of time, he said, referring to Aaradhya Bachchan, whom he and Aishwarya welcomed in 2011. The actor further revealed that the Pink Panther also had a family connection, as Aishwarya played Sonia in The Pink Panther 2. If you see, our Pink Panther has blue-green eyes which are the same as my wifes. So, there is a personal connect to everything about Jaipur Pink Panthers, Abhishek added. Abhishek and Aishwarya first appeared together in Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke in 2000 and later reunited in Kuch Naa Kaho. They also featured alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the popular song Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli. After Umrao Jaan, they worked together in Dhoom 2 and Guru. The couple announced their engagement ahead of Gurus release and married in 2007. They later appeared together in Sarkar Raj.

She said, Baby is one of those characters that has stayed with me and, in many ways, changed me as a person. Playing her made me look inward and rethink the relationships in my own lifehow I show up in them, what I expect from them, and how often we adjust without even realising it. That personal connection made Baby one of the most meaningful characters I have played, and one I know I will carry with me for a long time. Im excited for audiences to discover her and experience Babita Singh Reporting when it premieres on Prime Video.

Sugar prices soar to 70 per kg ahead of festive season in West Bengal
