NEW DELHI, October 14, 2026 (AP) Two leaders of Indias Cockroach youth movement were sentenced by a local court to serve five days in jail after being detained during a protest demanding the resignation of the countrys election chief, the group said Wednesday. Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were among about a dozen people detained by police Tuesday after they climbed over barricades to enter the grounds of Jantar Mantar, a historic observatory in central New Delhi that has long been a site for protests. Police said this week that the site was no longer an official protest venue
Zubeen Garg: Co-singer Amritprabha Mahanta appears before fast-track court after bail
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Oct 14 (IANS) Singer Amritprabha Mahanta, one of the accused in the death case of Assam's music icon Zubeen Garg, appeared before a fast-track court here on Wednesday, a day after being released from Haflong sub-jail following the Gauhati High Court's grant of bail. Mahanta was directed to appear before the court after her release on Tuesday. Her appearance comes as proceedings continue in the high-profile case surrounding the death of the celebrated singer, which has triggered widespread public concern and demands for justice in Assam. The Gauhati High Court granted Mahanta bail on October 9. Special Public Prosecutor Ziaul Kamar had told reporters that the bail was granted by Justice Pranjal Das against a bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of the same amount. The court had heard arguments on the bail petition over several days before reserving its order. Mahanta's release is significant as she is the first accused to have secured bail in the main case relating to Garg's death. She had been lodged at Haflong sub-jail along with Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, another accused and a former bandmate of the singer. Zubeen Garg died on September 19, 2025, while swimming in the sea off Lazarus Island in Singapore, allegedly in an inebriated state. He was in the country to attend the North East India Festival and was scheduled to perform at the event. His death triggered widespread grief in Assam and demands for a thorough investigation. Singapore's State Coroner subsequently ruled his death an accidental drowning on March 25 this year finding no evidence of foul play or that he had been forced into the water. However, the Assam government constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam Police to investigate the case following widespread public demands and the registration of more than 60 FIRs across the state. After an investigation that included a visit to Singapore and the examination of witnesses, the SIT filed its charge sheet in a Guwahati court in December 2025. The charge sheet named seven accused and alleged that four were responsible for murder. The allegations in the charge sheet represent the prosecution's case and remain subject to judicial determination. The seven accused are festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, the singer's manager Siddharth Sharma, bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, singer Amritprabha Mahanta, Assam Police officer and Garg's cousin Sandipan Garg, and personal security officers Nandeswar Bora and Prabin Baishya. The SIT charged Shyamkanu Mahanta, Siddharth Sharma, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amritprabha Mahanta with murder. Sandipan Garg was charged with culpable homicide, while Bora and Baishya faced other charges relating to alleged negligence and their responsibilities as security personnel. A special fast-track court framed charges against all seven in May this year, and they pleaded not guilty. The investigation and subsequent court proceedings have drawn intense attention across Assam, with the singer's fans and the public closely following developments.
Need SIR every 5 years to remove foreigners from voter lists: Assam Minister
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Oct 14 (IANS) Assam Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah on Wednesday called for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls every five years, asserting that the exercise is essential to ensure that no foreign national's name remains on the state's voter list. Everyone wants an SIR in Assam. Not a single foreigner's name should remain on Assam's voter list, Baruah said, amid the continuing political debate over electoral roll verification, citizenship and illegal immigration in the state. Referring to Assam's six-year-long anti-foreigners agitation between 1979 and 1985, the minister said the state had particular reasons to ensure that electoral rolls were scrutinised regularly. The agitation, which culminated in the signing of the Assam Accord in 1985, centred on demands to identify illegal immigrants and address concerns over their inclusion in electoral rolls. Baruah's remarks come against the backdrop of continuing political differences over voter eligibility and the identification of illegal immigrants in Assam. The minister also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the Opposition over their allegations concerning electronic voting machines (EVMs) and demands for a return to ballot paper voting. Accusing the Congress of questioning the electoral process after losing elections, Baruah alleged that the party frequently blamed EVMs or raised other concerns instead of accepting the verdict. Congress never stands with the public, which is why they keep losing. And after losing, they blame EVMs, sometimes ballot papers, or make other excuses, he said. The Congress and other Opposition parties have raised concerns over electoral transparency and the functioning of EVMs, making the issue a point of contention between the ruling party and the Opposition. Speaking about the Jan Jagaran Samdal rally in Nalbari on Tuesday, Baruah claimed that the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Assam were receiving increasing support from women and young people. Organisers claimed that more than 30,000 people attended the rally, although the figure has not been independently verified. The minister also criticised groups opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), alleging that their position ran counter to the country's interests. His demand for a five-year SIR cycle is expected to add another dimension to Assam's debate over citizenship, voter eligibility and illegal immigration. Any decision on the frequency and implementation of such revisions rests with the competent electoral authorities under the applicable legal framework.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actor Adivi Sesh has urged the Assam government to carefully review the proposed resort development in the ecologically sensitive Kaziranga region, saying the need to prioritise wildlife conservation, environmental protection and the concerns of local communities. Speaking about his concerns, Sesh shared, Nature does not belong to us; we are only its temporary custodians. When we talk about a place like Kaziranga, we are not simply talking about a national park or a tourist destination. We are talking about a living ecosystem that has existed for generations, a home to extraordinary wildlife, and a natural heritage that belongs to every Indian and, in many ways, to the world. In a letter, the actor highlighted the importance of safeguarding Kazirangas ecosystem, home to the greater one-horned rhinoceros, and called for transparency regarding the land involved and independent environmental assessments wherever necessary. The greater one-horned rhinoceros is not just a symbol of Assam; it represents the incredible biodiversity that we have a responsibility to protect. Once an animal loses its habitat, once a natural corridor is disrupted or an ecosystem is permanently altered, restoring that balance can be incredibly difficult, sometimes impossible. He added: I understand that tourism can generate employment, create opportunities and contribute to the local economy. But development must be planned with a long-term vision, particularly when it concerns ecologically sensitive regions. We need to ask ourselves whether every piece of land needs to be commercially developed, and whether the immediate benefits of construction justify the possible long-term consequences for wildlife and the environment. Sustainable tourism should be about experiencing nature while preserving it, not about changing the very landscape that makes a place special in the first place. Sesh shared that his concern extends beyond the rhinos and the wildlife that call Kaziranga home. There are local communities who have lived in and around this landscape for generations, whose lives, livelihoods and traditions are deeply connected to the land. Their voices, experiences and concerns must be part of any decision-making process that affects their surroundings. Conservation cannot succeed if the people who have coexisted with nature for generations are left out of the conversation. Through this letter, I sincerely urge the Assam government to carefully review the implications of the proposed resort development, ensure complete transparency regarding the land involved, and commission appropriate independent environmental assessments wherever necessary. I hope that all relevant ecological, legal and community considerations are examined before any irreversible decisions are made. This is not about opposing development; it is about asking for development that is thoughtful, responsible and sustainable. The actor said that Kaziranga is a priceless natural treasure, and we owe it to future generations to protect its wildlife, its forests and the people who call this region home. The decisions we make today will determine what we leave behind tomorrow.

New Delhi, Oct 13: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to introspect over his partys electoral setbacks instead of blaming the Election Commission (EC) or the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to The Times of India, Amit Shah cited the BJPs victories in recent Assembly bypolls in West Bengal and the Lok Sabha by-election in Assam, along with the Congresss defeat in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation polls, to question the oppositions allegations against the poll body. I also wish to ask Rahul ji: is this the result of an SIR? You dismiss the popularity of the BJP and Modi ji by attributing it to an SIR. You need to introspect, Amit Shah said. Referring to Gujarat, where the BJP has been in power for several years, the Home Minister said the Congress had repeatedly failed to secure electoral victories in the state. In a major state (Gujarat) where you once held power, you have failed to win a single election in 41 years. This is a matter that demands serious introspection on their part, he said. Amit Shah also cited the results of recent by-elections in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, claiming that the Congress had failed to win a single seat. In Nagaon, the BJP candidate won by a margin of 1,42,000 votes, wresting the seat from the Congress. In Nandigram, the BJP candidate won with 76% of the vote, securing a massive lead of 1,22,000 votes. In Rejinagar, the BJP won by over 75,000 votes, snatching the seat from the Trinamool, while in Puducherry, the NDA candidate from ally AINRC won by 8,482 votes. The Congress secured only 22% of the votes, Amit Shah said. Amit Shahs remarks came shortly after leaders of the Congress-led INDIA bloc held a joint press conference at Rahul Gandhis residence in New Delhi and vowed to continue their campaign seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and the invalidation of the SIR exercise over alleged irregularities. Rahul Gandhi had said the oppositions political resistance would continue, but declined to disclose its next course of action, saying he did not want to spoil the surprise.

6,905 of 9,479 identified villages in Northeast linked to banking, postal services: Scindia
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Oct 13 (IANS) Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Tuesday that 131 new bank branches had been opened and 126 new ATMs installed across the Northeastern region between December 2024 and March 2026. He added that 6,905 of the 9,479 villages identified for connectivity through banking and postal services had already been covered. Addressing the 'North East Bankers' Conclave 3.0' in Aizawl, the DoNER Minister announced that to ensure more people benefit effectively from banking services, the existing guideline requiring a minimum population of 3,000 to establish a brick-and-mortar branch has been lowered to a population threshold of 2,000 specifically for the Northeastern states. He also noted that 90.2 per cent of non-branch transactions in the Northeastern states are conducted through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). Along with these positive developments, Scindia stressed the need to accelerate efforts to quickly connect the remaining 2,574 villages that lack bank or postal service links. Targets have been set to increase the Credit-Deposit (CD) Ratio of banks from 47 per cent to 60 per cent for Tripura, 60 per cent for Arunachal Pradesh, and 67 per cent for Mizoram, he said. The Union Minister noted that raising the CD Ratio increases the circulation of money within the state, making it a vital tool for development, and remarked that the acronym CD Ratio could even stand for 'Credit for Development'. Scindia highlighted that the Northeastern states possess a large working-age youth population, high literacy rates, and abundant natural resources. He shared that this marks his 35th visit to the Northeastern states during his tenure of 2 years and 8 months as the DoNER Minister. He emphasised the crucial importance of collaboration between banks and the government for the development of the region. The DoNER Minister said that during the North East Bankers' Conclave 2.0 held in Agartala (Tripura), various targets were set, including opening new bank branches, installing more ATMs, and connecting unbanked rural villages to banking systems. He added that the DoNER Secretary Katikithala Srinivas held individual consultations with representatives of each state to set specific targets. Scindia lauded Mizoram as a state successfully implementing digital payments, as well as the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) schemes. At the same time, he stressed the importance of boosting efforts for registration under the PM Jan Dhan Yojana and PM Vishwakarma, noting that banking operations must place greater emphasis on expanding credit and lending. Scindia said that the deliberations at Tuesday's NE Bankers' Conclave 3.0 were divided into four session themes: Last Mile, Loans, Livelihoods, and Lifelines. These encompass connecting unbanked villages to banks, Business Correspondents, or the India Post Payments Bank; intensifying loan disbursements to MSMEs and women entrepreneurs; undertaking initiatives to ensure sustainable livelihoods for farmers; and building better connectivity and infrastructure. The Union Minister urged the gathering to formulate ten recommendations from each of the four sessions on Tuesday, along with forty (40) actionable paths to fulfill them. He asked them to set timelines and clear metrics to execute these proposals, expressing his hope that the North East Bankers' Conclave 4.0 will showcase even greater progress. Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma in his address said that the most important function of a bank is not merely safeguarding the public's money, but creating opportunities for human upliftment and empowerment. He described banks and financial institutions as crucial drivers of state development, catalysts for various businesses, pillars of support for entrepreneurs, avenues for wealth creation, and vital tools for establishing sustainable livelihoods. He said that during the 2025-26 fiscal year, while Assam's Credit-Deposit Ratio stood at 73.52 per cent, Nagaland's at 61.1 per cent, and Tripura's at 61 per cent, Mizoram lagged behind at 55.83 per cent. The Chief Minister added that this highlights the urgent need to step up efforts, with a target set to scale it up to 67 per cent by the 2028-29 fiscal year. Lalduhoma stressed that banks must expand their footprint beyond Aizawl into other districts and rural areas to remain easily accessible to those in need. Given that Mizoram boasts a high loan recovery rate, the Chief Minister urged banks to leverage this positive trait effectively.

Rahul Gandhi needs to be ready for crushing defeat in 2029: Amit Shah
New Delhi [India], October 13 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and INDIA bloc leaders should brace themselves for crushing defeat as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to secure a massive majority in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Speaking to the reporters, the Union Home Minister took a swipe at the Congress party, saying that it is headed for its fourth consecutive defeat in the upcoming elections. Shah also accused it of attempting to shield infiltrators under the guise of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that the people of this country have fully understood your strategy of shielding infiltrators under the guise of the SIR, and they will no longer fall for your ruses. I also wish to tell Shri Rahul and his associates to brace themselves for a crushing defeat in 2029. The NDA is set to secure a massive majority in the 2029 general elections, and the Congress is headed for yet another defeat, its fourth consecutive loss, he said. Shah's remarks came as INDIA bloc leaders concluded their high-tea meeting at Rahul Gandhi's residence. Continuing the attack on Rahul Gandhi, the Home Minister said, You cannot win the trust of the nation's people through fabricated media events and 'Jhooth Ki Goonj'. You cannot become the voice of the nation merely by mobilising the cadres of fourteen parties to gather a crowd of eight thousand within a span of one and a half kilometres. Highlighting the gap between public perception and opposition strategy, he urged the Congress leadership to re-evaluate their outreach, pointing out that true national sentiment lies beyond major urban centres and central protest sites. I urge the Congress party to realise that the voice of the nation also resides in the fields and farms, in the villages, in remote hills and forests, and along the riverbank areas where you have no reach. There are many states in the country, such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where the people have rejected and defeated the Congress party for decades. Even today, the negative politics the Congress is pursuing will not benefit them. They need to understand the public and connect with the people, he said. Further, extending gratitude to the citizens for their continued trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he thanked voters across various regions for placing their preference on the BJP's 'Lotus' symbol amidst what he termed a storm of malicious propaganda. The people of this country stand with Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the NDA. You cannot deny this truth. Today, on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, I once again wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Tripura, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bengal, and Assam; amidst a storm of malicious propaganda, they have placed their seal of approval, their stamp of preference, on Narendra Modi, the BJPs 'Lotus' symbol, and the NDA, thereby strengthening all nationalist forces. I thank them sincerely on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said. (ANI)

Ranji Trophy: Rahul's Batting Trouble Continues; Jadeja Scalps Three Wickets After Century
Emanjot Singh Chahal: India star batter KL Rahul was dismissed for another cheap score for Karnataka as he followed his four-run outing in the first innings with one run in the second against Andhra in a Group B clash in Vijayawada. Meanwhile, another India veteran Ravindra Jadeja backed his century with a three-wicket haul for Saurashtra in the clash against Chhattisgarh in Rajkot in Group B, while Punjab have started to lose the plot in their Group B encounter against Assam. Karnataka are in trouble as they ended the third day at 176/4 and have only a 32-run lead. This could have been worse if not for an unbeaten 81 from Karun Nair, while captain Smaran Ravichandran is also unbeaten on 21. Rahul was earlier dismissed for one, while Mayank Agarwal also managed to score just 18. With one day remaining, Karnataka need some magic for an outright win, or else they can at most manage one point if the match ends in a draw, as they had a first-innings deficit. Andhra will take six points if they win (seven if they win by 10 wickets) or they will take three points if the match is drawn, as they have the first-innings lead after bowling Karnataka out for 274 and putting 418 in reply. Meanwhile, Jadeja followed his 102 from the first innings with 3-40 in the first essay with the ball to bowl Chhattisgarh out for 312. Saurashtra are 45/0 in the second innings at stumps on Day 3 and would fancy three points or a win on the final day. Punjab are seemingly losing the plot in their fixture against Assam in their Group B fixture in New Chandigarh. They ended the third day at 287/5 and trail by 86 more runs. Salil Arora and Emanjot Singh Chahal are unbeaten on 25 and 28, respectively. In Group A, Madhya Pradesh are 151/5 against defending champions Jammu and Kashmir in their second innings as Shubham Sharma went back unbeaten on 51 to help the team take their lead to 227. Puducherry were dismissed for 313 in their first innings against Vidarbha on Day 3 of the clash in Nagpur. Ritesh Gudge (95), Mohit Kale (78) and Nikhil Gangta (54) scored strong fifties, but Parth Rekhade and Aman Mokhade took three wickets each. In reply, Vidarbha are 22/1 at stumps and have a lead of 137 runs. Goa are trailing Baroda by 238 runs after being asked to follow-on as they ended Day 3 at 35/1. They were earlier dismissed for 199. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh defeated Bihar by an innings and 267 runs. In Group C, Delhi trail Bengal by 88 runs after ending the day at 101/3. Bengal had earlier posted 429 on the back of Abishek Porel's 149 and Sudip Gharami's 133. Kerala are in all sorts after ending the third day at 269/6 against Jharkhand in reply to 587, trailing by 318 runs. Maharashtra lead Services in Delhi by 172 runs after ending the third day at 66/5. They had earlier bowled Services out for 227. Odisha ended Day 3 against Gujarat at 119/4 and have a four-run lead, but Gujarat took a 115-run advantage in the first innings. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4. They had a 91-run lead in the first innings. Railways have a 158-run trail against Uttarakhand as they were 34/0 at stumps. They were bowled out for 278 in the first innings, while Uttarakhand made 470. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4.

Chronic pelvic pain treatment should focus on quality of life, not pain alone
Manchester, Oct 13 (Conversation) For many women living with chronic pelvic pain, finding an explanation for their symptoms can take years. Getting a diagnosis may bring some relief, but treatment does not always bring an end to the pain. Even when symptoms improve, their effects on sleep, work and everyday life can continue. Chronic pelvic pain is persistent or recurring pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis. It can be linked to several conditions, including endometriosis, bladder pain syndrome and vulvodynia, which causes ongoing pain around the external genitals. Some women have more than one condition contributing to their symptoms.

On the sacred occasion of Navratri, a gift of joy for the brothers and sisters of our tea community, the Chief Minister said in his post on X. He added that the special 20 per cent bonus would be distributed across more than 800 tea gardens in Assam before Durga Puja to ensure that workers could enjoy the celebrations with their loved ones. The announcement underlines the state government's focus on the welfare of tea garden workers, a significant section of Assam's workforce whose contribution remains central to the state's tea industry and economy. Assam is one of India's leading tea-producing states, with tea estates spread across the Brahmaputra and Barak valleys. The industry provides employment to a large workforce, including generations of workers living in tea garden settlements. Festival bonuses are an important source of additional income for tea workers, helping them meet increased household expenditure during major celebrations. The announcement is expected to bring relief to eligible workers preparing for the festive season. Durga Puja, celebrated with particular enthusiasm across Assam and other parts of eastern India, follows the nine-day Navratri festival and is marked by community gatherings, religious ceremonies and cultural programmes. Chief Minister Sarma's announcement comes ahead of the festival period, when demand for household goods, clothing and other essential items typically rises as families prepare for celebrations. However, details regarding the precise distribution schedule, the eligibility criteria for workers and the arrangements for implementing the special bonus across the tea estates were not immediately available. The announcement is expected to be closely watched by tea garden workers and industry stakeholders as the state prepares for the festive season.

To Avoid Further Forfeitures, BCCI Conducts Selection Trials For Various Arunachal Pradesh Teams
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is organising selection trials for various Arunachal Pradesh mens and womens age-group and senior teams to avoid further forfeitures from them and keep them in the reckoning in the ongoing domestic season. The intervention comes after Arunachal Pradesh forfeited their opening Ranji Trophy fixture against Nagaland in Ahmedabad, alongside earlier non-participation in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and Under-19 Womens T20 Trophy due to a legal deadlock over two factions in the Arunachal Cricket Association (ACA) in the Guwahati High Court-Itanagar Bench.

Khairul Jamal Majumdar (also known as Mamon) as the convener to conduct trials because we cannot allow the teams to go without participating in this seasons domestic competitions. So trials are going on in Arunachal with some independent selectors from outside the state. The association is not involved in these trials, as the BCCI is directly conducting the trials and we are trying to send the teams from Arunachal to Ranji Trophy and games in other tournaments, which will be happening in the coming days, Saikia told IANS on Tuesday. A panel of independent selectors from Assam, comprising former players Satya Gopal Chakraborty, Jayanta Chowdhury, and Deep Bora, have been tasked with conducting the trials and ensure teams are fielded from Arunachal in the Ranji Trophy, Col CK Nayudu Trophy, Senior Womens T20 Trophy and Vijay Merchant Trophy.

ISL 2026/27: Jithin strikes at death as NorthEast United FC beat Mohun Bagan SG
Digital Desk | Guwahati (Assam), Oct 12 (IANS) Jithin M.S scored a brilliant winner in the second minute of additional time (90+2) to give NorthEast United FC a 1-0 win against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in their first match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026/27 at Guwahati on Monday. Introduced at the start of the second half, Jithin made an immediate impact, finding the net in the 90+2nd minute to settle a closely contested encounter and secure all three points for the Highlanders. Both sides started on the front foot, with NorthEast United creating a chance in the opening minute. However, Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Vishal Kaith was alert. The visitors responded with a promising set-piece opportunity in the ninth minute, but Lee Erwins effort struck the woodwork, keeping the scores level. NorthEast United introduced Jithin for Asheer Akhtar at the start of the second half, while Mohun Bagan brought on Manvir Singh for Chhangte. Bagan continued to press forward, but Gurmeet Singh made crucial saves to keep NorthEast United in the game. Bagan made further attacking changes in the 59th minute, bringing on Liston Colaco and Miguel Figueira for Sahal Samad and Lee Erwin. NorthEast United made a double substitution, bringing on Parthib Gogoi and Nikola for Macarton Nickson and Ethyan Gonzalez, respectively, as they looked to strengthen their attack. As the game progressed, NorthEast found greater attacking momentum. The hosts threatened through a cross towards Jithin M.S. in the 71st minute, but Bagan defender Mehtab Singh intervened to deny the forward a clear opportunity. Alaeddine Ajaraie subsequently found the net with a long-range effort, but the goal was ruled out for offside. NorthEast continued to push for a winner, with Nikola firing off target in the 83rd minute. Bagan came close to breaking the deadlock in the 87th minute when substitute Suhail Bhat connected with a cross from Liston Colaco, only for his effort to strike the woodwork. With five minutes of time added, NorthEast mounted one final attack. Vishal Kaith saved the initial effort, but the rebound off the post fell kindly for Jithin M.S., who made no mistake in finding the net. The forward reacted quickest to slot home, sending the home crowd into celebration.
