Manoj Tiwari, Ravi Kishan condemn attack on Tiger Shroff, wish him a speedy recovery
Nagaland Cricket Stadium: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar became only the second batter in Ranji Trophy history to hit a quadruple century, while Delhi captain Ayush Badoni struck a double hundred and India batters Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar notched up centuries on an eventful day two of the second round of the Ranji Trophy on Monday. Playing in just his second first-class match, Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 against Nagaland in a Plate group game at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima, and become only the second Indian to score a quadruple hundred in first-class cricket. The left-hander went past Prithvi Shaw's 379 to post the second-highest individual score in the history of the competition. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948-49 remains ahead of him. Sutar was on 392 at tea and brought up his 400 in the 155th over, prompting Mizoram to declare at 581/9. He faced 517 balls in all and struck 46 fours and seven sixes. Mizoram, who ended day one on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 and Sutar was on 231 when last man Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak joined him. The pair put on an unbroken 190-run stand to take the game away from Nagaland. It has entered the record books as the third-highest last-wicket partnership in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 set by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991-92. Sutar also became only the 10th batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that features batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Sutar made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after obtaining a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99 in that game, as Mizoram recovered from a 68-run first-innings deficit before going down narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had played for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season on the back of strong showings in Mumbai's local leagues. By the time stumps were called in Sovima, Nagaland reached 50/1. Elsewhere in the Plate group, Parth Palawat and Nilesh Lamichaney scored hundreds as Sikkim piled up 477/4 against Arunachal Pradesh's 121. Meanwhile, Karnajit Yumnam's unbeaten 93 led Manipur's strong reply of 173/2 to Meghalaya's 380, in which Pheiroijam Jotin bagged five wickets in a 29-over spell. In Elite Group A, Patidar's unbeaten 107, studded with 13 fours, took Madhya Pradesh to 302/5 and their lead swelling to 125 against Puducherry. Chanchal Rathore and Shubham Sharma also made half-centuries for Madhya Pradesh. Ravikumar Samarth's 143 rescued Vidarbha in a sensational fashion and took them past Jammu and Kashmir's 260, with number nine Rajneesh Gurbani making an unbeaten 64. Umar Nazir and Sunil Kumar took four wickets each for the hosts and leave Vidarbha at 133/7, before Samarth bailed Vidarbha out of trouble. Nachiket Bhute then rocked J&K's top order to leave them reeling at 7/4 in Srinagar, as the defending champions still trail by 38 runs. In Kanpur, Zeeshan Ansari's five-wicket haul helped Uttar Pradesh bowl out Goa for 164 and take a 38-run lead. At stumps, UP reached 102/4 in their second innings. Priyanshu Moliya's 132, backed by fifties from Mahesh Pithiya and Deepak Hooda, gave Baroda a 250-run lead over Bihar. At stumps, Bihar reached 4/0 in one over of their second innings and still trail by 246 runs. In Group B, Salil Arora (107 off 226 balls) and skipper Uday Saharan (161 off 299 balls) steered Punjab to 456 against Chhattisgarh, with Arora scoring his second hundred in as many games. Left-arm spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja sent down nearly 56 overs for his seven wickets, but got little support from the rest of the attack. Harpreet Brar then ripped through the Chhattisgarh batting with 5-21 in just eight overs, and leave the visitors at 76/5 at stumps, as they still trail by 384 runs. At Alur, resuming on 281/8, Karnataka were bowled out for 342, with Manvanth Kumar hitting 135 off 214 balls, including 11 fours and six sixes, in what is also his maiden first-class century. Saurashtra's openers Hetvik Kotak (46 off 127 balls) and Harvik Desai (77 off 78 balls) gave a strong start with a 110-run stand. Karnataka, however, hit back either side of tea to reduce the visitors to 128/4, before Arpit Vasavada (25 batting) and Prerak Mankad (13 batting) took them to 164/4 at stumps, as Saurashtra are still 178 runs behind. Tanay Thyagarajan continued his fine start to the season with a five-wicket haul as Hyderabad bowled out Andhra for 184 to take a 91-run lead. Hyderabad were 78/2 at stumps. Assam bowled out Tripura for 62, with Mukhtar Hussain taking 3-23, as the hosts enforced the follow-on. Tripura were 143/5 in their second innings at stumps, but are still 129 runs behind. In Group C, Badoni's 217 off 246 balls powered Delhi to declare at 648/6 against Gujarat, with Sumit Mathur and Anuj Rawat also scoring half-centuries. Gujarat ended the day on 98/2 in 35 overs and trail by 550 runs in Palam. Shahbaz Ahmed and Aamir Gani took four wickets apiece as Bengal dismissed Services for 122. Left-arm spinner Rahul Singh then claimed five wickets to bowl Bengal out for 146 in their second innings, leaving Services needing 209 to win and they reached 12/0 in five overs at stumps. Mohammed Azharuddeen remained unbeaten on 139 as Kerala made 404 against Odisha, while sharing a 99-run stand with Aditya Sarvate, who also scored a fifty. Odisha were 114/3 and trail Kerala by 290 runs. Digvijay Patil's 148 and another century from Ankit Bawne took Maharashtra to 403/5 and get a lead of 234 runs against Jharkhand. In Group D, Sarfaraz's unbeaten 139 off 213 balls, his 18th first-class hundred laced with 18 fours, put Mumbai in complete control at 398/4 against Himachal Pradesh at the Luhnu Cricket Ground, Bilaspur and stretch their lead to 258. Captain Siddhesh Lad (87 off 188 balls) and Musheer Khan (57 off 137 balls) had earlier put on 122 runs for the third wicket. Lad shared a 68-run stand with Sarfaraz for the fourth wicket, while Sarfaraz and Akash Anand (58 not out off 152 balls) then added an unbroken 176 for the fifth wicket to bat Himachal out of the contest. In Chennai, Pradosh Ranjan Paul's gritty 136 off 279 balls, including 12 fours, helped Tamil Nadu take a 179-run first-innings lead over Uttarakhand, before being all out for 313. Resuming on 85/2, Paul curbed his usual attacking instincts and, along with Baba Indrajith (77), shared a 171-run stand for the third wicket. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand. Captain R Sai Kishore removed opener Aarav Mahajan in the first over of Uttarakhand's second innings to leave them at 9/1 at stumps. Karan Lamba and Sachin Yadav were both dismissed for 194 after a 338-run third-wicket stand, as Rajasthan made 497 against Railways, who were 46/1 in 24 overs of the first innings and still trail by 451 runs. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand.

Tiger Shroff attack: Congress accuses Maha govt of shielding organised crime syndicates
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) Launching a scathing attack on the MahaYuti government following a high-profile firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroffs vehicle in Mumbai, the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Monday accused Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis of overseeing a state of complete lawlessness. Demanding immediate accountability, Sapkal questioned how jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi continues to operate an extensive criminal empire from inside Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad without official patronage or political protection. Sapkal asserted that open-daylight attacks on high-profile figures, including actor Tiger Shroff, film producer Rohit Shetty, actor Salman Khan, and the murder of former minister Baba Siddique, prove that criminals no longer fear the police. He pointed out that the Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order under Section 268 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in August 2023. This order prevents state police forces from transferring Lawrence Bishnoi out of Gujarats Sabarmati Jail for interrogationa legal restriction that is routinely renewed annually. Dismissing Chief Minister Fadnavis's assertions to go after the osses of organised crime, Sapkal challenged the state government to request the Union Home Ministry to revoke Bishnoi's legal immunity and bring him to Mumbai for interrogation and trial. Sapkal alleged that the Mumbai Police forces fear factor is a thing of the past because law enforcement is being used exclusively for extortion and political intimidationciting ongoing police harassment against former Congress MLA Rahul Bondre after he refused to join the ruling BJP. If a famous film actor can be targeted in broad daylight in the heart of Mumbai, what safety remains for the common citizen? How is Lawrence Bishnoi operating his entire syndicate from an Ahmedabad prison? This is simply impossible without the direct blessings of the government, he said. He added that Assam Police can travel to Gujarat or Delhi to arrest opposition politicians, while aero FIRs filed in Bihar can trigger CBI probes in Mumbai. Yet, the Maharashtra government claims to be helpless when it comes to interrogating a gangster sitting in Gujarat. What relation does Bishnoi have with the BJP that he receives such official protection? Instead of issuing hollow threats and rhetorical warnings, Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis must display the courage to extradite Bishnoi to Mumbai, interrogate him, and prosecute him under the law. If this government cannot rein in gangsters, drug lords, and sand mafias, they have no moral right to remain in power and should resign immediately, noted Sapkal. Earlier, Shiv Sena UBT and NCP SP also slammed the BJP-led MahaYuti government over the attack on Tiger Shroff. The opposition's onslaught comes amidst growing public and political concern regarding organised extortion calls and violent threats issued to public representatives and Bollywood personalities alike. With opposition parties uniting against the state's deteriorating law and order situation, pressure is mounting on the MahaYuti government to deliver concrete enforcement actions rather than public warnings.
ED searches 29 premises in six cities in WhatsApp-linked 'pump-and-dump' fraud
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted searches at 29 premises across six cities in Maharashtra and Gujarat as part of a money-laundering probe into an alleged WhatsApp-driven pump-and-dump scheme involving the shares of two listed companies, an official statement said on Monday. The EDs Mumbai Zonal Office-I carried out the searches on Friday at premises in Mumbai, Nashik (Maharashtra), Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, and Bhavnagar (Gujarat) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The investigation relates to alleged manipulation in the shares of R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Ltd (RMDSSL) and R&B Denims Ltd. The premises searched included the offices of the two companies, residences of their promoters and persons who had been allotted shares at low prices, offices of stockbroking and finance firms, and premises linked to individuals suspected of operating promotional WhatsApp groups. According to ED, its investigation found that between April 2023 and March 2024, the two companies issued more than 3.5 crore shares and convertible warrants to selected individuals and entities. A substantial portion of the money used for these allotments came from a small group of connected persons, firms, and lenders. The agency alleged that the share prices were subsequently pushed up while a large proportion of the shares remained with the same set of holders. From late December 2025 to February 2026, WhatsApp communities with names such as Multibagger Stocks allegedly circulated daily buy recommendations for the shares among retail investors. The ED said the groups operated using SIM cards obtained in the names of other persons in Haryana and Mumbai, while their operations were allegedly run from Bhavnagar. The agency claimed the promotional campaign led to a sharp increase in buyers, trading volumes and share prices. Preferential allottees allegedly took advantage of the increased buying interest to sell part of their holdings to a large number of investors. During the searches, the ED said it identified clusters of family-linked beneficiaries, including entities associated with Affluence Gems, Kawa HUF, and Komalay Consultancy. These beneficiaries had allegedly acquired shares at low prices through preferential warrants. According to the agency, the shares were subsequently promoted through WhatsApp, X, SMS and other channels to generate buying interest. The ED said it has frozen trading accounts worth about Rs 200 crore belonging to the persons and connected entities under investigation. The agency also seized documents, digital devices, share transaction records and property-related papers during the searches. Further investigation is underway.

Expressing concern over the emotional impact of the incident on the family, he added, One can understand the trauma which Jackie and the entire family must be undergoing now. They must have never expected that this will happen to their son. The entire atmosphere of insecurity, unsafe, has crept into the industry. It was the second attack on our industry in recent times, where earlier, a few months back, Rohit Shetty's house was under attack. Bullets were fired on his house also.

Aamir Khan meets Raj Thackeray as Imran Khan challenges leave India notice in Bombay High Court
Aamir Khan met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray at his residence on Sunday, October 18, amid the ongoing legal battle involving Aamirs nephew, actor Imran Khan, over a Leave India Notice directing him to leave the country by October 28. The purpose of the meeting was not immediately known. Aamir and Raj have shared friendly relations over the years and have attended family functions hosted by each other. However, the actors latest visit comes at a time when Imran is challenging a notice issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) on October 14. The matter is scheduled to come up for a hearing on Monday, October 19. The notice reportedly alleges a violation of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, in connection with Imrans participation in a protest held in Mumbai on October 10. The demonstration called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise being conducted across the country. Following the notice, Imran approached the Bombay High Court on Saturday, seeking its cancellation. The 44-year-old actor challenged the directive in his petition, describing it as unconstitutional and requesting that the court quash the notice. He also sought an immediate stay on the directive while the court considers his plea. Additionally, Imran requested protection from coercive measures, including deportation, the issuance of a Look Out Circular (LOC), blacklisting and any action that could affect his Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status. In his petition, the actor alleged that the notice had been issued through a non-bonafide exercise of power. He further described the action as a high-handed and grossly disproportionate abuse of power. The legal proceedings are currently underway as Imran seeks relief from the directive requiring him to leave India by October 28. The outcome of his plea before the Bombay High Court remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Aamirs meeting with Raj Thackeray has drawn attention amid the developments surrounding his nephews case, although no official reason for the visit has been disclosed.

Tiger Shroff shooting suspects arrested: What the alleged Bishnoi gang threat to Salman Khan says
Highlights Three suspects have been arrested in Rajasthan over the firing at Tiger Shroffs car in Mumbai. A social media post claiming responsibility for the attack warned that people working with Salman Khan could be targeted. A separate audio message reportedly threatened Khan and his family, with police investigating the claims and the alleged gang connection. Three men suspected of opening fire at Tiger Shroff s car in Mumbai have been arrested in Rajasthan, following an attack that has raised fresh concerns about threats against Bollywood personalities associated with Salman Khan. The suspects were apprehended at Kota railway station on Monday (October 19) while travelling by train from Mumbai towards Delhi. Police are investigating their alleged roles in the shooting and whether they have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The firing took place in Mumbais Juhu area on Sunday evening (October 18), as Shroff was leaving a football ground. The actor escaped serious injury, but his driver and another driver travelling in an autorickshaw were injured. What did the alleged Bishnoi gang message say? A social media post attributed to individuals identified as Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed responsibility for the shooting. The message alleged that Shroff had ignored warnings about working with Salman Khan and threatened further action against people in the film industry who continued to associate with the actor. The post warned that others who failed to heed the alleged groups demands could also be targeted. However, the claim of responsibility does not establish who ordered the attack or whether the alleged gang directed the suspects. A separate audio message attributed to Pandit reportedly threatened Khan and his family, demanding that the actor apologise to Lawrence Bishnoi and the Bishnoi community. The speaker also warned Khan against relying on his security arrangements. Police are examining the messages and investigating the alleged links between the suspects and the criminal network. The motive behind the shooting has not been conclusively established. Why has Salman Khan faced threats linked to Lawrence Bishnoi? The latest threats come amid a long-running dispute between Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, who has repeatedly been linked to threats against the actor. The hostility has been associated with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Bishnoi has cited the animals religious significance to the Bishnoi community in connection with his anger towards Khan. In April 2024, gunmen opened fire outside Khans residence in Mumbais Bandra area. The actor was unharmed, and the subsequent investigation led to arrests and scrutiny of suspected links to the Bishnoi network. Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was murdered in Mumbai in October 2024, with a social media post attributed to the Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility. Investigators examined alleged links to the network as part of the case. The firing at filmmaker Rohit Shettys Juhu residence in February 2026 also brought renewed attention to threats against prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Reports linked a subsequent claim of responsibility to individuals associated with the Bishnoi network, although the circumstances of each incident require separate investigation. What happens next in the Tiger Shroff case? Mumbai Police had formed 15 teams to trace the attackers following the shooting. Investigators examined CCTV footage, gathered forensic evidence and tracked the suspected escape route. The three arrests in Kota mark a significant development, but investigators must still establish the suspects individual roles, identify anyone else involved and verify the alleged gang connection. The incident has also prompted renewed scrutiny of security arrangements for Bollywood personalities, particularly Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats in recent years. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have yet to establish conclusively whether the alleged Bishnoi gang ordered the attack on Shroff.

Vishnu Manchu on Tiger Shroff shooting incident: No one should have to fear for their safety!
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 19 (IANS) Expressing gratitude to God for the safety of Bollywood star Tiger Shroff, who narrowly escaped an attempt on his life on Sunday, Telugu actor and producer Vishnu Manchu has now said that no one should have to fear for their safety while going about their work or living their life. Taking to his X timeline to express his thoughts on the dastardly attack on the young actor by three assailants, the Telugu actor said, Grateful to God that @iTIGERSHROFF is safe. Wishing him strength and praying for his speedy recovery. No one should have to fear for their safety while going about their work or living their life. Incidents like these affect not only the person involved, but their family and the entire film fraternity. Vishnu Manchu went on to add, Being in the public eye should never mean living in fear. I hope there is some kind of respite. Har Har Mahadev. Actress Divya Spandana too reacted strongly to the news on the attempt made on the Bollywood actor's life. She wrote, Relieved Tiger is safe, and wishing a quick recovery to his driver and the autorickshaw driver who were hurt. The actress further said, 7pm, a busy road, no masks, and the shooters are so young! They aren't afraid of being caught because they're disposable. The people giving the orders face no risk at all. We've seen this before in Juhu, again and again. Each time the shooters are arrested and the network carries on. Divya posed two questions in the wake of the incident. She said,Two questions need answers-how are gangs still operating from inside jails, and why are so many young men with no prospects willing to pick up a gun for a small fee and a few minutes of fame online? Until we fix both, we're only treating the symptom. Bollywood is mum. So much fear and panic. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday issued a stern warning to criminal syndicates following the shocking attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.
