Velvet has long been associated with evening dressing, but the fabric is getting a fresh menswear update as Bollywoods leading men experiment with colour, tailoring and texture. From Ranveer Singhs classic black three-piece to Sidharth Malhotras striking teal suit, the latest celebrity looks show how the traditional silhouette can be styled with distinctly individual personalities. Heres a closer look at the velvet suits making a statement. Ranveer Singh Ranveer Singh brings his characteristic flair to classic black velvet. His three-piece suit retains the traditional structure of the silhouette while allowing the plush texture of velvet to take centre stage. The monochromatic palette keeps the look rooted in classic formalwear, while the actors styling adds his familiar sense of theatricality to an otherwise timeless combination. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) Ahaan Panday Ahaan Panday opts for a dark maroon velvet three-piece that combines old-school formalwear references with a more contemporary sensibility. The deep hue gives the suit a rich finish, while the sharp tailoring keeps the overall look streamlined. The choice of maroon also allows the actor to move beyond the more predictable black and navy options associated with evening suits. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anisha Jain (@theanisha) Sidharth Malhotra Sidharth Malhotra experiments with colour in a teal velvet three-piece suit. Sitting between blue and green, the shade gives the classic formal silhouette a more distinctive character without taking it too far away from traditional tailoring. The rich fabric further accentuates the colour, resulting in a look that balances classic structure with a contemporary palette. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Malhotra (@sidmalhotra) Vijay Deverakonda Vijay Deverakonda goes back to the classic appeal of black velvet with a structured three-piece suit. The fabric adds depth to the monochromatic ensemble, while the clean silhouette keeps the overall styling polished. His look demonstrates how texture can add visual interest even when the colour palette remains deliberately understated. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) Karan Tacker Karan Tacker takes a more dramatic approach with his velvet three-piece suit. The rich colour and sharply tailored silhouette make the ensemble stand out, while the traditional construction keeps the look firmly within formalwear territory. It is a take on velvet that relies on colour and tailoring rather than elaborate detailing to create impact. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Tacker (@karantacker) Together, these looks highlight the versatility of velvet in contemporary menswear. Whether styled in classic black or richer shades of maroon, teal and red, the fabric is proving that the three-piece suit can move beyond conventional formal dressing while retaining its polished appeal.

International League T20: Sharjah Warriorz head coach Adrian Birrell said extensive late-night preparation and rapid tactical adjustments were key to building a well-balanced squad for Season 5 of the International League T20 (ILT20) at the player auction, despite missing out on some initial targets. In the auction held in Dubai on Thursday, the Warriorz secured the likes of Tom Banton, Logan van Beek, Craig Overton, James Rew and George Linde. Well, I'm not very experienced with auctions. I'm usually sort of coaching somewhere and I'm on the end of the phone. So I haven't done very many -- I've done one recently, but I really enjoyed the process. We've had some very, very late nights and kept on thinking about many scenarios of if we got this player, we go in that direction, and got that player, we go in that direction. I think we had five teams that we had planned to get, and we were happy with any one of those teams, and I don't think we landed any of those five teams, but we did land a hybrid of them. But I'm actually delighted with what we've got because I think our strength with all-rounders was better than I was anticipating. There was a lot of knowledge - we had all our coaches spending many, many hours on the phone, Zoom calls and the coaches here and the staff here put in a proper shift over the last few days to come up with a tool to get the players, Birrell told IANS in an exclusive chat at the end of the auction. The meticulous planning allowed the Warriorz to pivot quickly when early targets slipped away, ensuring the franchise bolstered its all-round depth and got match-winners too. Well, I didn't anticipate that we'd get so many all-rounders. We missed out on one or two in the auction, and then we were able to rectify it at the end with some very good picks, I think. So, yes, we needed to get quite a few players into our squad, and I think we ended very well. We got Tom Banton, who has been a real star for England of late. We got Logan van Beek, who gives us an all-round associate option, and we got Craig Overton, another overseas player. So, those were three very good buys, I think, said Birrell. Speaking about drafting Rew again after he was a part of the side in the previous season, Birrell said, Yes, very well, and we needed the backup keeper. We also needed the left-handed option because we got George Linde as a left-handed batting option. Obviously, his batting is a massive factor for us. But then we got Paul Walter up front as a left-hander, who will bat in the top three. So, we got that option to have another left-hander in the middle with James Rew, he said. A key focus of the late-night strategy was strengthening the pace attack across different phases of the innings, leading to the recruitment of English fast bowler Richard Gleeson alongside Craig Overton and direct signing Adam Milne. We needed that death option that he does so well, and he's got high pace. I was very keen on getting him myself, but all of us were very keen because he's a top performer. He, together with Milne, is a formidable seam bowling attack, I think, because both are highly skilled. Then in addition to that, Overton, who is more of an up-front bowler, gives us another option, and I think that was also a very good pick. He's been in great form of late in England. But I'm thrilled with getting Richard Gleeson. He's a top-class performer, added Birrell. With pitch conditions in the UAE requiring extensive spin-bowling options, Birrell stated that securing multi-dimensional spin depth was paramount. Yes, absolutely. He (Adil Rashid) is not available for the full tournament. So we needed to have the variety available to us. But we got two wrist spin options. We then got two finger-spin and off-spin options. We got the left-arm spin option. We've also got some backups in our Afghanistan and UAE bowling as well. So I think we've got good depth in bowling, but especially the spin bowling department, he said. One of the biggest rewards of their tactical patience was securing South African left-arm spin bowling all-rounder George Linde at base price. Well, we wanted left-arm spin bowling because the stats show that they are highly successful in Sharjah, and we're preparing to try and win our home games. Then, the left-handed batting option with him is such a valuable asset, because he's got power. For him to bat at 5, 6, 7, he's very adaptable, but he gives us that left-handed power that we need in the tournament. So I'm thrilled to get him because I know him as well and what he can do. I was flabbergasted that he went at base price. I thought we'd have a bidding war for him, but I'm really pleased that we got him, said Birrell. To complete their roster, the franchise targeted three U-19 United Arab Emirates players: Nabeel Aziz, Ali Aamer Naseer and Tanish Suri, apart from pacer Junaid Siddique. Well, we went for UAE sort of backup bowlers so that we had to get in. Bowlers are more likely to go down, and so they will be backup bowlers for us. So we were delighted to get them. We sort of targeted the bowling aspect of the UAE players, said Birrell. Ahead of his debut coaching stint in the ILT20, Birrell expressed enthusiasm for the overall quality of players associated with the league. I'm very excited to be part of it. I haven't been part of the ILT20 tournaments at all. This is my first time. I've been in other leagues quite a lot. But I'm really looking forward to it. I'm surprised by the quality of players. I think all the teams are really strong, and there are some very, very good players that will be on show, and I'm really looking forward to the tournament, especially staying in one hotel for the full duration. Ahead of his debut coaching stint in the ILT20, Birrell expressed enthusiasm for the overall quality of players associated with the league. I'm very excited to be part of it.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) opened the entry and exit gates of all metro stations on Friday evening following day long protests at the national capital's Jantar Mantar and outside the Janpath metro station, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over vote chori allegations. In a post on X, DMRC said: Entry and exit gates of all Metro Stations of the Delhi Metro network are now open. It added that the interchange facility at New Delhi Metro station is also available.

'Summon values of Mahatma Gandhi in highly-charged times': UN chief
Digital Desk | United Nations, Oct 2 (IANS) United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Friday to summon the values of Mahatma Gandhi in a time of global conflict and divisions. In these highly charged times, lets summon the courage, empathy, dignity and shared humanity that Gandhi exemplified throughout his life, he said in a message for the UN's International Day of Non-Violence, which commemorates Gandhi Jayanti. Guterres took a sweeping overview of the challenges that the UN and the world are facing in calling for Gandhi's prescriptions of dialogue and non-violence. People are suffering, he said. Poverty and inequality are driving a wedge between the haves and have-nots. And the very foundations of peace and development the UN Charter, human rights, international law and diplomacy and dialogue are being ignored and flouted with impunity. In this time of rising division, tension and conflict, Gandhis lessons speak to us with renewed urgency, he said. Deploying the weapons of peace that Gandhi developed, Guterres said, will be the effective way to counter the challenges to humanity. He showed that the best way to counter injustice is not to mirror the cruelty and violence of systemic discrimination and oppression but to employ instead the tools of dialogue and non-violence to build bridges of understanding, deliver dignity and create lasting change, Guterres said. Lets work to heal divisions through genuine dialogue and diplomacy, end suffering, and build a peaceful world through non-violence, he said. Mahatma Gandhi set an inspiring example of how to create deep, lasting change while holding fast to the principles of peace. Amid rising tension and conflict, his lessons speak to us with renewed urgency. Lets heal divisions through genuine dialogue and diplomacy, end suffering and build a peaceful world through non-violence, the UN Chief stated on X. In 2007, the General Assembly declared October 2 the International Day of Non-Violence through a resolution sponsored by 141 countries.

CJP launches Jail Bharo agitation at Mumbai's Shivaji Park to demand CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday launched its Jail Bharo protest demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, against the backdrop of reports indicating purported internal rifts within the poll panel. Despite heavy police deployment and denial of formal permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, thousands of citizens and supporters gathered at the spot, as slogans against the Central government and the ECI rang out. The demonstration, dubbed by organisers as Season 2 of their movement, comes in defiance of a permit denial by Mumbai Police, who deployed heavy security contingents and barricades around the Dadar precinct. The protest witnessed backing from public figures, intellectuals, and prominent Bollywood personalities who gathered to support the cause, emphasising that the right to vote remains fundamental to Indian democracy. Notable attendees included Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vishal Dadlani. In their remarks on the occasion, the Bollywood personalities reiterated that voting rights are under threat and highlighted the imperative to safeguard democratic institutions. Actor Prakash Raj also extended support through a broadcast visual message urging citizens to protect democratic integrity. Addressing the crowds, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CEC Gyanesh Kumar, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, challenging the authorities while formally launching a Jail Bharo call, insisting that peaceful assembly to defend voting rights remains a fundamental constitutional entitlement. He directly challenged the Maharashtra Chief Minister regarding police warnings against unlawful assembly, saying CM Devendra Fadnavis, you spoke about putting us in jail for just 3 days. Had you said 3 months, the whole of Mumbai would have been brought to a complete standstill. Dipke also invoked the legacy of Maharashtras social reformers while rejecting state threats of arrest. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, we have one request for you. You are the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a state built on a rich heritage. This is the land of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, and Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj. You might have forgotten this legacy, but we have not. Such threats are not how Maharashtra operates. You claimed that protesting would mean going to jail. Does that mean you intend to lock us up? Then lock us all up! Don't just jail us for 3 days; put us away for 3 months. But know this -- the moment I walk out of jail, I will repeat the phrase you once used 'I will return, I will return, I will return', he said. Despite the police presence around Dadar Railway Station and key access points, protesters flooded Gate No. 6 of Shivaji Park carrying national flags and placards featuring satirical memes, popular film dialogues, and sharp slogans aimed at the poll chief. Slogans such as Gyanesh BRO, JUST RESIGN and Gaddaar Gyaanu Must Go resonated across the grounds alongside chants of Chale Jao and Vapas Do. The CJPs central charter submitted during the rally outlines three immediate demands directed at the Union Government and the Election Commission. They include the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accompanied by a formal independent investigation into electoral roll management, an immediate halt to ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) operations, restoration of the January 2025 electoral lists, and a comprehensive audit of recent voter deletions and the repeal of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, to be replaced by a transparent selection process incorporating multi-partisan and civil society oversight. A parallel counter-demonstration emerged nearby, organised by a group styling itself as Gen Next Mumbai. Holding posters beneath the local statue of Dr Ambedkar, counter-protesters accused the CJP of creating unnecessary public disruption and misrepresenting constitutional processes. Several Shivaji Park residential associations also voiced concerns regarding traffic blockades, noise levels, and security risks in a densely populated residential zone. CJP leadership countered these complaints by claiming political interference aimed at creating artificial local friction against the movement. Mumbai Police personnel, including quick-response units and female police contingents, remain stationed along Cadell Road and Shivaji Park perimeters to prevent violence or movement toward state government offices. While minor scuffles over access barricades were reported, the gathering remained largely peaceful through late afternoon. CJP leaders said that Friday's Mumbai gathering marks the opening leg of a broader national campaign. Parallel drives and state-level rallies are scheduled across West Bengal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar over the coming weeks, culminating in a planned mass demonstration at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.

Bangladesh measles outbreak claims four more lives, death toll climbs to 1,114
Digital Desk | Dhaka, Oct 2 (IANS) At least four children died from the measles outbreak in Bangladesh on Friday, raising the total number of confirmed and suspected deaths to 1,114 this year, amid an escalating health crisis in the country, local media reported. According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), the deaths were reported in the 24 hours leading up to Friday morning. Among the four fatalities from the disease, one was confirmed as measles death and another three were identified as suspected, Bangladeshi media outlet UNB reported. Reports suggest that while the number of confirmed deaths remained at 102, the total number of suspected deaths climbed to 1,012. The DGHS recorded a total of 1,221 new suspected measles cases during the 24-hour period, bringing the overall tally of suspected cases to 194,084. Additionally, 21 new confirmed cases were reported, increasing the total to 21,623 during the same period. Last week, public health experts linked the resurgence to gaps in previous vaccination coverage and shortcomings in hospital and patient management, including delays in detecting infected children and isolating them at home. Speaking to Bangladesh's leading newspaper 'The Daily Star', public health expert Mushtuq Husain said children generally need three to four weeks after vaccination to develop sufficient immunity. Therefore, the current wave of infections, hospitalisations and deaths may continue for at least another month, he added. Recently, a leading international advocacy group described the 2026 measles outbreak as one of Bangladeshs worst public health crisis in recent history, highlighting the concern that the disease is preventable through vaccination. In its report titled Preventable Tragedy: Bangladesh's 2026 Measles Outbreak, Canada-based Global Centre for Democratic Governance (GCDG) said that although the measles outbreak appeared sudden to the public, it was not an unexpected event from an epidemiological perspective. The report noted that the crisis resulted from a combination of disruptions to vaccine supply and health programs in 2024-2025 during the former interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, along with missed routine vaccinations, cancellations of scheduled supplementary immunisation programmes, administrative delays in vaccine procurement, and a failure to promptly identify at-risk populations.
