Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on 2022 winner Gujarat Titans in an away fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. RCB head into the contest on the back of a five-wicket win over GT in Bengaluru earlier this season and a dominant nine-wicket victory against the Delhi Capitals. The defending champions currently sit comfortably on the points table with 12 points from eight games. Ahead of the contest, RCB head coach Andy Flower reflected on the teams mindset heading into a crucial phase of the tournament, stating: Weve moved on from last year and are focused on the new challenges this season brings. The players have been enjoying that journey, and tomorrow should be another great contest, said Flower. Speaking about handling dominant performances and maintaining balance, Flower added: Its important to treat wins and losses with a fair degree of equanimity. You dont want to get too carried away with either. Each game presents a fresh challenge, and thats how we approach it. Highlighting the teams strengths so far, Flower emphasised RCBs effectiveness with the ball in key phases: Weve been very good at taking powerplay wickets and putting opposition under pressure. At the same time, we have strong depth in our batting, which gives the group a lot of confidence. On adapting to conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he said, Were comfortable with whatever conditions are put in front of us. We believe we have an attack that can exploit different surfaces and a batting unit that can thrive in any situation. Elaborating on the teams approach heading into the business end of the tournament, Flower noted, Its important not to get into a mindset of trying to hold on to our position. We want to embrace the unpredictability of the game and attack every match with the right attitude. Touching upon the teams bowling unit, Flower highlighted the variety within the attack, Weve got a good mix, experienced swing bowlers, a world-class fast bowler in Hazlewood, and spinners who bring different skill sets. That variety gives us strong options in different phases of the game. On the mental side of the game and handling pressure, Flower offered a nuanced perspective: Fear is a normal human emotion. Instead of trying to ignore it, we encourage players to recognise it and respond well. Thats a healthier way to deal with pressure situations.

IPL 2026: James Hopes Looks To regrouping As PBKS Stay Positive Despite First Loss Of Season
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings pace-bowling coach James Hopes stressed the need to regroup and recalibrate after the team suffered its first defeat of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, even as they continue to sit atop the points table. Punjabs unbeaten run came to an end after Rajasthan Royals chased down a daunting 223 in a high-scoring encounter in New Chandigarh. Despite posting 222/4, the Kings were unable to defend the total, marking a rare setback in an otherwise dominant campaign so far. Reflecting on the loss, Hopes termed it a timely reminder for the side as they enter the second half of the tournament. Its a reality check, and thats exactly what it is, said Hopes during the post-match press conference. Weve been flying and winning games, which is great, but youre not going to go through the IPL without a loss. Its about regrouping now. Im not going to sit here and say its doom and gloomits just about getting back to work, ironing out some kinks, and finding the best combinations for the different conditions well face ahead. One of the biggest positives for Punjab was the return to form of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who powered the side to a strong total with an unbeaten 62 off just 22 balls, providing the late surge in the innings. Hopes highlighted the importance of such contributions from the middle order as the tournament progresses. Our top order has been flying, but we have a lot of power coming behind them. Tonight, Marcus got his opportunity and took it. It was great to see him get into the tournament properly with the bat, and that kind of finishing power is vital for us as the games get more intense, he added. Punjabs top-order combination has been a key strength this season, with youngsters Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh continuing to provide brisk starts. Hopes was full of praise for the duo and their fearless approach. I don't think those two boys realise exactly how good they are. They are a fantastic young pair, and theyre going to be a dominant partnership in the IPL for a long time. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs with the ball as well, particularly from spinner Harpreet Brar, who delivered a tight spell in a high-scoring game. Looking ahead, Hopes emphasised the importance of adapting to different conditions as the team prepares to shift venues in the coming phase of the tournament. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs with the ball as well, particularly from spinner Harpreet Brar, who delivered a tight spell in a high-scoring game.

PCA New International Stadium: Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla has raised concerns over Punjab Kings (PBKS) fast bowler Arshdeep Singh's poor bowling, saying that the senior pacer's continuous failures could haunt Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the playoffs. India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is, Arshdeep, was looking out of touch at PCA New International Stadium on Tuesday and conceded 68 runs as the Shreyas Iyer-led side failed to defend a mammoth total of 222 runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and lost their first match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 by 6 wickets. Chawla feels that Arshdeep's poor performance throughout the season, in which he has taken just eight wickets in eight matches, is a significant problem for the Punjab Kings, who are aiming for their first trophy. A game or two games here and there, you can expect [him to do badly], but it's happening most of the time. Then it is a matter of concern, because if you look at the bigger picture - when you're going into the playoffs - then you have to think about it. What if something like this happened in a playoff game? Then you're playing a catch-up game. It's not that you're sitting comfortably, he told ESPNCricinfo. According to Chawla, Arshdeep is known to take wickets in the power play, and if he fails to do so, then the left-arm pacer concedes a lot of runs.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Indias anti-narcotics agencies have achieved a major breakthrough with the return of wanted drug trafficker Mohammad Salim Dola from Trkiye, reaffirming the governments zero tolerance policy against drug syndicates. In a post on X, Amit Shah said, Zero tolerance against narco syndicate our anti-narcotics agencies have extended their claws across borders through a robust network of global agencies. Now no matter where they hide, no place is safe for drug kingpins. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), in coordination with international partners, secured Dolas return under Operation Global-Hunt.

IPL 2026: 'If I Get The Chance, I Will Be 100 Percent Ready,' Says GT Keeper-batter Anuj Rawat
Anuj Rawat: Left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Anuj Rawat is yet to get game time in IPL 2026, but the Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter insists he is 100 percent ready whenever hes called to play an IPL game for the 2022 champions and credited the franchise's rigorous training culture for keeping him sharp. With GT sitting on eight points and fifth place in the second half of the season, Rawat said the mood inside the camp is anything but subdued. As you can see, we have eight points and we are almost halfway through the season. So, I think the atmosphere of the team and the way we are going with two points recently, I can see a lot of positivity, Rawat told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Tuesday. The call for Rawat being retained by GT support staff led by head coach Ashish Nehra brought immediate reassurance and the happiness of being in the same side for the IPL instead of the possibility of making a fresh start elsewhere. There was no specific message like that, but there was a conversation that we will retain you. As soon as our sir's call and message came, he said that we are retaining you ahead of the auction. So, this was the only conversation. Definitely, I was very happy because you will represent that franchise again with which you have already been with for a season. So, I think that thing helps a lot because if you go to a new franchise, then you have to come back to a new setup. Everything in it - the coaching staff is different, the environment is different. If you are being retained for the same franchise, then there are a lot of things that are in your favour, he elaborated. Delhi-based Rawat, who has 318 runs in 24 IPL games, reserved particular praise for the culture in GT, which stands in contrast with his previous stints in the tournament. I think when I was in the last franchise, I was in a different room. So, the atmosphere of a dressing room is very much similar. But the GT dressing room environment is very friendly and this is the thing that makes GT different from other franchises, he said. One notable thread of continuity from his Rajasthan Royals days has been his association with veteran wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler, who now turns out alongside him at GT. I was with him when I was in Rajasthan and now I got a chance to play alongside him in GT. So, our bonding from the time at Rajasthan is still very similar. Our bond is very good. You get to learn a lot of things when you practice with him and do wicket keeping drills. He is a legend and there are definitely some small things that you learn from him, Rawat said. On the challenge of staying match-ready without regular game time, Rawat acknowledged the mental and physical discipline it demands. I think this is the most difficult thing if you are not playing and you are in a team setup. But I think this is also a specialty of a cricketer - if you are not playing, how do you aim to be complete in your preparation, as whenever you get a chance, you have to be 100 percent ready. So, I think it is very important as a cricketer that if you are not getting a chance, you still have to be 100 percent ready and be involved in that setup and aim to be 100 percent ready in your preparation, he said. Rawat also reflected on the transition between IPL and domestic cricket, where the real shift is in intensity. There is not much difference when one goes to domestic cricket after an IPL season. There is a slight difference, but then there is a little more pressure. The atmosphere and pressure that we talk about in cricket, a little bit of difference remains, he said. He further stated GT's training methods had raised his overall game and shaped his approach to playing domestic cricket as well. On the field, I felt a very vast difference when I came to GT. One thing is that you have to prepare a lot here. In the time I have played in all the franchises, all the practice sessions and preparations here are conducted a lot more and are done little differently too. So, I think that reflects in your off-season as well. After that, when you go for the domestic season, I realized this time that the extensive preparation I went through at GT has been very helpful, Rawat said. He further stated GT's training methods had raised his overall game and shaped his approach to playing domestic cricket as well. On the field, I felt a very vast difference when I came to GT. One thing is that you have to prepare a lot here. In the time I have played in all the franchises, all the practice sessions and preparations here are conducted a lot more and are done little differently too.

'His Words Make A Difference': Bhuvneshwar Credits Kohli's Guidance For New Ball Heroics Vs DC
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar underlined the value of Virat Kohli's experience and communication within the team, saying that the senior batter's inputs continue to make a significant difference in their planning, despite not being in a leadership role. Bhuvneshwar, who took three crucial wickets in RCB's dominant 9-wicket win against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday, believes that having a seasoned campaigner like Kohli naturally contributes to the team environment and on-field decision-making. I think, irrespective of what he has achieved, its very important how he communicates, how he talks. I think his experience with batting, if he says something, it helps a lot, Bhuvneshwar said in a video released by IPL on X. If you have such an individual who has so much experience, then it helps in the team contribution, he noted. Meanwhile, Kohli has achieved a significant milestone in his IPL career, completing 9,000 runs in the mega tournament. Kohli needed 11 runs to reach the landmark ahead of DC's clash and got there comfortably. On the final ball of the power play, with RCB chasing 76, he took off a single off Axar Patel's ball to achieve the record. Bhuvneshwar also spoke about the change in his perspective, stressing that cricket remains a collective effort where individual performances must align for success. We generally look at performances from the end result, but I dont look at it like that because its a team game, he said.

Anant National University hosted Open House 2026 recently at its Ahmedabad campus, inviting aspiring designers from over 40 cities in a two-day immersive experience designed to help them understand design as a discipline of thinking, making and problem-solving. Design is often confused with decoration and cosmetic aesthetics, a limiting view that has shaped how design education is popularly perceived and often delivered in India. Anant’s Open House was designed to help students understand design as a mainstream discipline that inculcates critical thinking, systems understanding and purposeful problem-solving. Anant National University Hosts Open House 2026, Offering Aspiring Designers an Immersive Introduction to Design Education Attended by more than 300 students and parents, the Open House offered students a first-hand understanding of design education at Anant. Through 50+ hands-on workshops by more than 30 Anant faculty, studio walkthroughs and engagement with faculty and current students, participants experienced how ideas evolve and how concepts lead into prototypes and solutions using real-world contexts. Talking about the Open House, Dr Sanjeev Vidyarthi, Provost, Anant National University , shared, “Open House is our way of opening up the Anant campus in its entirety to students so they can experience, first-hand, what we do and how we do it. As design continues to emerge as a key driver of India’s economic growth, it is important that students understand it not as a narrow discipline, but as a broad-ranging way of practical thinking and problem-solving. Initiatives like this help build that clarity.” At the core of this initiative is Anant’s approach to providing world-class design education that integrates design with technology, sustainability and interdisciplinary thinking, enabling students to engage meaningfully with the complexities of the contemporary world. Open House offered an early glimpse into this approach, enabling participants to understand how thoughtful design education leads to diverse and meaningful career pathways. Access to quality design education was another critical dimension of this initiative. As design is being recognised as a serious and impactful discipline, a wider pool of talent seeks formal education in this field. By opening the campus to students from varied geographies and backgrounds, Anant aims to foster a learning ecosystem enriched by diversity of thought, experience and perspective, an essential condition for innovation within the design discipline. Open House 2026 highlights the importance of experiential learning in promoting informed academic choices. By creating a platform that encourages exploration, critical engagement and reflection, Anant continues to support aspiring designers in developing a deeper, more grounded understanding of design. Through initiatives like Open House, Anant National University continues to enable informed decision-making among aspiring students while advancing a design education ecosystem that is rigorous, inclusive and aligned with the evolving needs of society.

IPL 2026: RCB Just Want To Continue Doing The Right Things, Not Thinking Too Far, Says Krunal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Krunal Pandya has refused to look too far ahead despite his side's emphatic nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals on Monday, insisting the only currency that matters in the IPL is continuing to do the right things. The empathic win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium also helped RCB retain their position in the standings, with six league games still to play. The beauty of this league is every team has some world-class players. So you can't think that far ahead in the tournament. It's a very cliche thing, we all say that follow the process, trust the process. But, that only thing works. So, we are not thinking that, I mean, too far. Again, technically, just 60 percent of the games have been played and there are still more six league games to go. We just want to continue doing the right things more often than not. Just stick to the process and just how can we win those small battles where eventually, you can get the desired results, what you want. But, I mean, we are not thinking that too far, said Pandya in the post-match press conference. With defending champions RCB tightening their grip on a playoffs berth, Pandya reminded how the side still has to work hard for its wins. Right now, we are just thinking that how can we reach Ahmedabad (for the clash against Gujarat Titans) and be fresh for the game. I have always felt it's a team game. For me, winning trophies is the ultimate goal because I always believe personal milestone fades away. But trophies build legacy. So, I have always played this sport to win trophies. When you are playing personally, right, you have to believe that you have the capability as a team and as an individual to win that. So, yes, I mean, but again, nothing comes easy in life. You just have to grind and work hard to get what you want. The evening also marked another milestone in Virat Kohli's remarkable IPL career of being the first batter to reach 9000 runs - and Pandya was generous in his admiration for the talismanic batter. Virat Kohli has been one of the greatest who has played, right? Obviously, the achievements he has in the last 15-20 years, since he has been playing in 2008, it has been unbelievable. I have said this before, to have that sort of consistency, and the hunger he has, I mean, kudos to him. He has changed the way people see the sport, right? From a fitness point of view, he has been the flag-bearer of that, how the fitness culture has come in India, in terms of that. Obviously, as an individual, when you achieve a milestone, you get 100 percent satisfaction that you have seen the result of all the hard work you have put in for so many years. So, whatever hard work we all do, we want that result. Obviously, he has so many achievements in his life, so I haven't asked him how he is feeling because he has achieved so many things in such a big career. I hope he continues in the same way, and wins more matches for us, and gives happiness to everyone, he elaborated. Much of the attention has been on Pandya's bowling, who picked 1/9 in New Delhi, though Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood were the main wreckers in chief on Monday. The side-arm slinging balls and the bouncer he has introduced this season - an unconventional addition to a left-arm spinner's repertoire that has begun attracting attention around the competition, with RCB batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik calling him a trendsetter. Obviously first of all, coming from DK means a lot. Someone who's played so much of cricket and coming from him means a lot. I introduced the bouncer because every year the opposition prepares against you - what you did right and wrong. So it's more of a mental game as well sometimes, with skill set. When I came here last year, I had a very good season with RCB. So I was just thinking, what else can I add? Or which thing can I add so that I can be one step ahead in the mental game against the batter. So with that thought process, I introduced the bouncer and with that, I bowl in the low-arm trajectory. So it is something which, you know, I guess it's more sort of bouncing for a spinner, it's not that easy. But a lot is dependent on how fit you are because, it's difficult to come two steps ahead and bounce at pace. But my action is like that and I've not been scared of trying new things. I've always taken it as a challenge. Although, there are a lot of times in IPL where there are match-ups and left-hander batsman is batting, so left-arm spinner can't bowl. So I took it as a challenge, that it's not like that. Let me try something new and let's see how it goes. So far it has worked and I guess a lot of people have started copying it and DK is saying trendsetter, I like it. The origins of that bouncer, it emerged, stretch back not to any high-performance coaching facility but to the time when Pandya played games in villages, much before his breakout time in IPL and India colours came in 2012/13. The boundaries there were very small. So, if you used to bowl conventional left-hand spin there, you would get beaten up a lot. So, actually, this thought process and mindset came to me many years ago. So, there I learned bouncer, wide yorker, everything. Then, obviously, when I started playing IPL, the way my role in the team was to contain, I was able to contain. So, I never felt that I have to add new things and all of that. But this year, it felt like, in the last 2-3 years, because of the impact player, the way the batsmen are batting, sometimes, when you are standing on the run-up, it feels like, where should I bowl, as every ball is a sixer. So, thinking about that, I added the bouncer. Like I said, I didn't practice a lot of short balls in nets because it takes a lot of effort to bowl in the net. So, I have preserved myself to bowl in the match. But a lot of things depend on fitness. Pandya was equally expansive on the role fitness plays in allowing a bowler to evolve and experiment. I have always kept fitness as a priority, because I feel when you are young, your body recovers very well, you don't realise that much. But when over a period of time, food, fitness is a very integral part for any athlete because sometimes, when you want to evolve your game, you know mentally. But because your body is not that fit, it doesn't allow you to do it. But fitness adds value, when you want to change something, and you want to adapt something new, your body allows you to adapt new things. So, yes, I have always emphasised and focused on fitness, which helps me to add new things - whether it's about the bouncer, or the bowling while bending. I have always said that Malolan (Rangarajan), our spin bowling coach, he also gets a lot of credit because I feel that when I came to RCB, my role changed. I got the liberty to go for wickets and can experiment. That trust was there, in a way. So that sometimes really helped, because as a player, if the coach is backing you so much, and the coach is giving you so much confidence, that 100 percent helps. Over a period of time, I like this responsibility of going for wickets, and I can try my new things, which I like it, because it's not just to look cool, that I have put a bouncer - there is a lot of logic and reasoning behind it as well, that why I want to bowl that. So there is a healthy discussion, and yes, Malo also takes a lot of credit for that, where he has allowed me to be myself. Pandya reserved his warmest words for RCB captain Rajat Patidar, whose calm temperament has been a defining influence since the championship win in 2025. I mean, the way Rajat has led the team, it has been amazing. The best part of Rajat, what I have realised is that he gives confidence to the players and he allows them to be themselves in the game. Over a period of time, I like this responsibility of going for wickets, and I can try my new things, which I like it, because it's not just to look cool, that I have put a bouncer - there is a lot of logic and reasoning behind it as well, that why I want to bowl that. So there is a healthy discussion, and yes, Malo also takes a lot of credit for that, where he has allowed me to be myself. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, there are a lot of senior players in our team. A lot of credit goes to the support staff as well. The way Mo, Andy, DK, Malolan, Omi, how they have operated with the team, a lot of credit goes to them. All credit goes to Rajat also and how he has been able to lead the side consistently so well.

Gujarat Local Election Results 2026 Live: Vote counting for Gujarat's local body elections began Tuesday. Results for over 9,000 seats across Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, and Panchayats are expected today. The Bharatiya Janata Party has already secured many seats unopposed. Attention is on the performance of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party. These elections are a key indicator of political strength ahead of state assembly elections next year.
The rise was phenomenal and the fall swift. The Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) finds itself grappling with a crisis of survival. Once known as a crusader against anti-corruption, AAP finds itself mired in various scams. The party drew unprecedented public support and reshaped Indias political landscape in a remarkably short span of time. The defection of seven MPs led by Raghav Chadha, along with reports of a significant number of legislators in Punjab planning to switch sides, indicates that the party may be on the verge of losing another stronghold after Delhi. These developments point to deepening internal fissures and waning political clout, raising serious concerns about the partys ability to retain its influence in Punjab. Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Vikram Sahney, Rajinder Gupta, Ashok Mittal, and Swati Maliwal left AAP to join the BJP.AAP has a small presence in Goa with two MLAs and faces a high risk of poaching by other parties, according to party sources. The Party leaders took stock of defections by its MPs, there was a broad consensus within the that it is important at this juncture to keep the flock together, and ensure retention of the national party tag. The Election Commission conferred the AAP as a national party status after it met eligibility conditions by garnering at least six per cent of votes and winning seats in four states Delhi, Punjab, Goa, and Gujarat. Later, the party also bagged a seat in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. Questions are raised as to whether the AAP will save the Punjab government on borrowed time. With elections in Gujarat, Goa, and Punjab taking place next year, the party must rebuild, and expand its grassroot base . Arvind Kejriwal, once a relentless critic of the ruling party, has grown noticeably subdued following his defeat in the Assembly elections and his incarceration in the Delhi liquor case. Known for his aggressive political style, he was a forceful campaigner and a powerful orator who could galvanize public opinion and energize party workers with sharp, direct attacks on his opponents. His relative silence now marks a stark shift in the partys political momentum. At a time when strong leadership and vocal opposition are crucial, his absence from the frontlines has created a vacuum, affecting both the partys morale and its ability to mount an effective challenge. AAP not only displaced the Congress in Delhi and Punjab but also positioned itself as a potential challenger in states such as Haryana, Gujarat and Goa. Its rapid expansion signalled the emergence of a formidable alternative in the national politics However, the narrative took a dramatic turn with the eruption of the alleged liquor policy scam. What was once projected as a model of transparency became mired in controversy, raising serious questions about the partys governance and internal accountability. The scandal not only dented its carefully cultivated image but also provided political rivals with ammunition to challenge its credibility. key leaders came under scrutiny, the party started losing support base particularly among the middle class voters.

IPL 2026: Jamieson, Parakh, Chameera Come In For DC As Unchanged, RCB Elect To Bowl First
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Kyle Jamieson and Sahil Parakh have been handed debut caps by Delhi Capitals, who have also included Dushmantha Chameera, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, unchanged from their previous match, won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. Defending champions RCB have five wins in seven games and are in second place on the points table. DC, meanwhile, need a win to keep themselves in good standing in the race to the playoffs after losing four of their last five games, which means they are in seventh spot. After winning the toss, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, This venue is a high-scoring ground, it will not make much difference, we will try to put them under pressure in the second innings. The most important thing is that different players are coming up and delivering in different matches. We have played some good cricket and continue to carry that momentum. It is in the past; we are looking to play good cricket. DC skipper Axar Patel said Chameera, Jamieson, who previously played for RCB and Punjab Kings in the IPL, and Parakh, the teenage Maharashtra batter, come into the playing eleven in place of Pathum Nissanka, Mukesh Kumar, and Auqib Nabi Dar. Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who had an unfortunate head injury while taking a catch against the Punjab Kings and was later discharged after being taken to the hospital, is not available for the game after not being spotted during the pre-game practice session. I would have fielded if I won the toss. The ground dimensions are small, the pitch also gets better, so we would have chased as well. In the IPL, you score 264 and lose, but it is a long tournament. We had a good game with bat and ball; if we had held our chances, then the result would be different. You need to keep continuing to do the work, even our best fielders drop catches, so luck is not on our side, but we cannot sit around thinking about it. We have to strike in the powerplay, though Mukesh has done well, he needs a break, and we are bringing in international bowlers, he said. Mondays game will be played on pitch number five, where the Gujarat Titans made 210 earlier this season, and DC fell short by one run in a humdinger of a clash. In their pitch report, Danny Morrison and Eoin Morgan observed that with 63m square boundaries on either side, the pitch has a slightly drier look. They further reckoned it would be interesting to see if the ball spins and has some bite for the spinners.

Major Security Sabotage At Chinnaswamy During RCB-GT Match; 2 Held For Sabotaging 240 CCTV Cameras
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In a major security lapse reported during the IPL scheduled match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, around 240 CCTV feeds were allegedly disabled during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT). The Cubbon Park police have filed an FIR in this regard and launched a hunt for two accused persons.

E, a resident of Hiriyur in the Chitradurga district, and 19-year-old Abdul Kalam, a resident of Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh, the employees of subcontractor IVS Digital Solutions, are suspected to have tampered with the surveillance system. The duo allegedly gained entry into the stadium using a deactivated access card and proceeded to the CCTV server room, where they cut connections to the Network Video Recorder (NVR) and fibre cables. The disruption resulted in a temporary loss of surveillance coverage across several critical areas of the stadium, including entry gates, concourses, and the D Corporate Stand.

IPL 2026: 2 Held For Sabotaging 240 CCTV Cameras At Chinnaswamy During RCB Vs GT Match
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In a major security lapse during an IPL 2026 fixture, Bengaluru Police have arrested two individuals for allegedly sabotaging surveillance infrastructure at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans on April 24. As per the FIR, over 240 CCTV cameras across the venue were rendered inoperable after critical systems, including Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and fibre-optic connections, were deliberately damaged. The incident led to a temporary surveillance blackout across key zones, including entry gates, concourses, and the D Corporate Stand. Authorities confirmed that backup security measures were deployed swiftly, ensuring the match concluded without disruption. A case has been registered at the Cubbon Park police station, and investigations are underway. The police have described the incident as a deliberate act of disruption. Preliminary findings indicate that the accused, 37-year-old Manjunath E from Hiriyur in Chitradurga and 19-year-old Abdul Kalam from Uttar Pradesh, were working under a subcontractor associated with IVS Digital Solutions, the firm responsible for the stadium's digital surveillance. The duo allegedly used a deactivated access card to gain entry into restricted areas, including the CCTV control room, where they carried out the sabotage. The complaint was filed by Aditya Bhat, an employee of the Gurugram-based AI surveillance company Staqu Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which is linked to the venue's monitoring systems. Evidence cited includes CCTV footage showing the suspects accessing sensitive locations, such as server rooms and connection hubs near the parking area. A complaint has been received stating that on 24.04.2026, during the RCB vs GT match held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, more than 240 cameras went offline due to suspected deliberate tampering. Upon further investigation, it has been identified that two individuals Marajanath E. and Abrar Kalder, who are working in the subcontracting firm IVS Digital Solution, entered the stadium premises around 11:30 AM without valid passes. It is reported that these individuals intentionally mishandled and disrupted the NVR (Network Video Recorder) and fibre connections, thereby disabling the surveillance system. Additionally, they allegedly damaged all the initial setup works related to the installation. They also gained unauthorised access to restricted areas such as the server room and were seen moving suspiciously near critical zones, the FIR stated. The affected cameras covered several key security areas, including all entry gates, perimeter surveillance cameras, corporate boxes, all concourse areas. Furthermore, they reportedly accessed the switch box room and damaged nearby optical fibre connections. Since this incident occurred on the day of the match, it severely compromised stadium security and prevented the complainant from providing the required data or footage to the relevant authorities or agencies. Therefore, immediate attention is requested regarding this deliberate act of sabotage, and appropriate legal action is sought against IVS Digital Solution and the individuals involved, it added.

NC has abandoned Article 370 fight, betrayed mandate: Aga Ruhullah
Signalling a deepening political divergence over governance priorities rather than a fresh rupture, Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Sunday asserted that the ruling Jammu and Kashmir National Conference has effectively stopped striving for restoration of Article 370, describing it as an injustice with the peoples mandate. Addressing reporters after a public event, Mehdi framed his criticism as a reflection of public sentiment, saying the partys electoral commitment was anchored in restoring constitutional guarantees rather than pursuing limited administrative goals. The National Conference leaderships primary promise to the people was to pursue an institutional struggle for the restoration of Article 370 and constitutional protections, he said, adding that hey (NC) dislike me because I continue to remind them of those principles. He rejected the argument that statehood alone constituted the core public mandate. People did not vote merely for the restoration of statehood. Had that been the case, they might have supported the BJP, which had itself assured statehood in Parliament, he said, referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to Mehdi, the party initially recalibrated its position by prioritising statehood as an achievable step, but has since retreated further. Now, in its second year, the government appears to have abandoned even the demand for statehood, he said.He also pointed to what he described as a pattern of policy retreat. For some time, they pursued the issue of business rules, but that effort has also been abandoned. After certain decisions and protocols were approved by New Delhi for select individuals, the leadership has chosen silence, he said. In effect, the government is no longer actively pursuing statehood, constitutional protections, or even business rules. This represents a betrayal of the peoples mandate. Mehdi said the growing public discontent mirrors his own position. There is visible resentment among the people. I reflect that sentiment while maintaining my differences, he said. Expanding his remarks to national developments, Mehdi criticised the defeated Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, linking it to a potential delimitation exercise tied to the implementation of the Women's Reservation Bill. He clarified that the womens quota legislation remains in force but argued that the rejected proposal could have enabled structural distortions. What has been defeated is a so-called delimitation bill that would have led to gerrymandering, similar to what was done in Jammu and Kashmir. Constituency boundaries were altered along communal lines, he alleged. He warned that the proposed expansion of parliamentary seats could have shifted national power dynamics. States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan would have seen a substantial increase in seatspotentially around 400 collectivelyallowing them to take decisions for the entire country, he said, adding that such a framework could marginalise southern states, West Bengal and several northeastern regions. Drawing a parallel with the 2019 developments surrounding Article 370, Mehdi questioned the democratic legitimacy of such processes. Was Article 370 removed with the concurrence of the people of Jammu and Kashmir? No. Similarly, this bill would have disenfranchised several regions, he said. Reiterating his central argument, Mehdi maintained that even a phased political approach is no longer visible. Even if we accept the argument of pursuing what is achievable first, this government does not seem to be fighting for even statehood now. This, to me, is an injustice with the mandate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he added. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which proposed increasing the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816 seats following a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census, failed to pass in Parliament after falling short of the required two-thirds majority, with 298 votes in favour and 230 against, against the required 352.
