Delhi Police busts interstate heroin network, arrests seven; drugs worth Rs 60 Cr seized
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) Delhi Police busted an interstate heroin supply and manufacturing network extending from Delhi and Haryana to Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, arresting seven accused and recovering 8.128 kg of heroin worth approximately Rs 60 crore in the international market. The operation, conducted by the Special Staff of Rohini district under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, also led to the seizure of 3.291 kg of chemicals and raw materials used in heroin manufacturing, Rs 12.81 lakh in cash, three SUVs, a motorcycle and equipment used in the illegal drug production process. According to the police, the operation was carried out by a team led by Inspector Sandeep Godara under the supervision of ACP (Operations) Ajmer Singh. The investigation uncovered links between suppliers, a heroin manufacturing unit and a person involved in illegal opium poppy cultivation. The operation began on September 16, when police received information about narcotics movement in the Begumpur police station area. Acting on the tip-off, a team laid a trap in Sector 32, Begumpur, and intercepted a car. The police arrested Laxman Hooda, 58, a resident of Rohtak, Haryana, and recovered 300 grams of heroin and Rs 3 lakh in cash from the vehicle. On September 17, the police arrested another accused, Anil alias Bhola, 51, from Sonipat, Haryana, and recovered 501 grams of heroin from his car. Anil has been involved in 12 criminal cases. He had previously been arrested in an NDPS case registered at Bhalswa Dairy police station in 2025. After being granted interim bail, he failed to surrender and was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender by a court. Further investigation and technical surveillance led the police to a heroin manufacturing facility in Sita Colony, Jankipuram, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on October 4. The police arrested Bablu, 35, and recovered 6.275 kg of freshly manufactured heroin. They also seized 2.504 kg of sodium, 787 grams of acetic anhydride, a gas cylinder, a mixer-grinder, utensils, a tub, an electronic weighing machine, polythene and other manufacturing equipment. Following Bablu's interrogation, the police traced and arrested Ruksar Ali alias Raju, the alleged owner and main source supplier of the manufacturing facility, from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, after an extensive search. Ruksar has previously been involved in three NDPS cases, according to the police. On October 6, Ajaj Ahmed, 38, was arrested in Bareilly for supplying crude opium to Ruksar. The police recovered 501 grams of heroin and a motorcycle from him. The investigation subsequently led to the arrest of Mohammad Azhar, 20, from Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, on October 16. He allegedly supplied heroin and crude opium to Ajaj. The police recovered 551 grams of heroin, Rs 9,81,700 in cash and a car from his possession. On October 18, the team reached Jharkhand's Chatra district, a Naxalite-affected area, and arrested Prakash Kumar, 31.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Accused practised shooting near Mumbai; gun misfired in hotel room
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Fresh revelations have emerged in the investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, with police sources claiming that the accused practised shooting at a location near Mumbai before the attack. A misfire also reportedly occurred while they were testing the weapon in their hotel room in Andheri. According to Mumbai Police sources, the accused disclosed the location where they had test-fired the weapon during interrogation. One of them allegedly fired two rounds during the practice session, while the other fired one. The accused reportedly wanted to ensure that the firearm was functioning properly before carrying out the attack. Both are said to have successfully fired the weapon during the practice session. Investigators have also learnt that a misfire occurred while the accused were testing the gun in their hotel room in Andheri. Sources said a bullet was fired onto the bed during the incident. However, the incident apparently did not raise suspicion among hotel staff or anyone outside the room. Based on the information gathered during interrogation, police are examining the alleged firing practice site near Mumbai and investigating the preparations made before the incident. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Mumbai Police arrested two additional suspects in connection with the firing case, taking the total number of arrests to 10. The two accused are expected to be produced before a court in Sonipat, Haryana, to seek transit remand. Following the court's approval, they will be brought to Mumbai for further questioning. According to reports, the two suspects allegedly played a significant role in supplying weapons linked to the case. Investigators are probing their connections to the other accused and their alleged involvement in planning and execution of the incident. In another development, investigators will examine an audio clip containing a threat allegedly directed at Tiger Shroff. Officials are planning to compare the voice in the recording with voice samples maintained in databases by the Punjab and Delhi Police. These databases reportedly contain recordings of individuals allegedly associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Police units in Punjab, Delhi and Rajasthan maintain separate collections of voice samples that can be used to verify the identities of suspected speakers. Similar verification procedures have previously been undertaken in investigations involving audio clips linked to threats allegedly received by actor Salman Khan, actor Aamir Khan, filmmaker Rohit Shetty and the late politician Baba Siddique, among others. Investigators are now examining the available audio evidence and other leads to establish the identities of those involved and determine the extent of their alleged roles in the firing case.

On Police commemoration day, Amit Shah sets December 2029 deadline to make India drug-free
New Delhi, Oct 21: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday called upon police forces across the country to intensify efforts against drug abuse and trafficking, setting December 31, 2029, as the target to free India from the drug menace. Addressing a Police Commemoration Day ceremony at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi, Shah urged police forces to work towards implementing the roadmap for a Nasha Mukt Bharat prepared under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah also flagged off a nationwide motorcycle rally carrying the message Fight Against Drugs as part of the campaign against substance abuse. The rally features around 90 riders from Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, along with personnel from the Central Armed Police Forces and other central police organisations. The riders will proceed to Ekta Nagar in Gujarat to participate in the Ekta Parade-2026. Shah said drug abuse and trafficking threatened the future of younger generations, placed an unnecessary burden on the economy and could provide financial support to organisations with anti-national intentions. He called for coordinated efforts over the remainder of 2026 and the next three years to achieve the drug-free India target. At the ceremony, the Home Minister paid tribute to police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty, saying their sacrifices had laid the foundation for Indias security and progress. He described 2026 as a significant year for the Indian police, stating that the country had achieved freedom from Naxalism on March 31, 2026. According to Shah, more than 3,600 security personnel and nearly 13,700 civilians lost their lives during the decades-long Naxal conflict. He said the sacrifices of security personnel had contributed to the countrys progress and expressed gratitude to the families of those killed in the line of duty. Recalling the origins of Police Commemoration Day, Shah said October 21 marked the anniversary of the 1959 incident in the Hot Springs region of Ladakh, where 10 CRPF personnel laid down their lives while resisting an attack by Chinese troops. The National Police Memorial, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018, honours police personnel who sacrificed their lives in service of the nation. Shah said citizens visit the memorial to pay tribute to 36,852 police personnel. He described police service as one of the most challenging government services, noting that personnel often remain on duty during festivals and other occasions to maintain public safety and internal security. Shah also praised the Central Armed Police Forces for their role in securing borders, managing elections and maintaining public order. He said the forces had helped ensure that the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly elections were conducted without a single fatality. The Home Minister further said that Kashmir, the North-East and areas affected by Left-Wing Extremism, which had faced prolonged internal security challenges, were witnessing peace and moving towards development. He credited security forces with curbing terrorism in Kashmir, advancing peace in the North-East and tackling Naxalism. Police Commemoration Day is observed annually on October 21 to honour police personnel who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Shooters surveyed homes of Big B, Salman Khan, other stars
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 21 (IANS) The accused in the firing case involving actor Tiger Shroff had reportedly conducted reconnaissance of the residences of several Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, before the attack, according to sources in the Mumbai Crime Branch. The shooters were reportedly instructed to target celebrities whose security arrangements were relatively less stringent. During the reconnaissance, different auto-rickshaw drivers had also taken the accused to the residences of several celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. It is learnt that the accused would ask auto-rickshaw drivers, whose services they used to get around Mumbai, to show them the homes of Bollywood stars. The accused allegedly told the drivers that they wanted to take pictures of the celebrities' residences. Subsequently, different auto-rickshaw drivers took them to the homes of several actors. During this period, an auto-rickshaw driver reportedly informed the accused that actor Tiger Shroff, son of Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, visited a football ground in Juhu every Sunday to play football. Following this information, the accused reached the football ground on October 11, but Tiger Shroff did not visit the venue that day. The accused then returned to the same ground the following Sunday, October 18. This time, they were carrying firearms. It was during this visit that firing was carried out at Tigers vehicle. According to the police, some other individuals had also travelled to Mumbai from Haryana during the same period. They allegedly conducted reconnaissance before returning to Haryana. After the attack on Tiger, the accused discarded both firearms at an unidentified location while leaving Mumbai. According to police sources, the attackers had used one foreign-made pistol and one country-made pistol in the attack. The accused reportedly did not have much information about the type of foreign-made pistol they had used. On October 20, the initial questioning of the accused revealed some significant information that the 'Baaghi' actor was not the primary target. The Mumbai Police is now tasked with tracing the location where the firearms were discarded. It was on October 18 when Tiger escaped after three motorcycle-borne men opened fire at his car in the Juhu area of Mumbai. Within hours of the incident, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang shared a post on social media, taking responsibility for the attack. The accused reportedly learned through social media reels shared by Tiger's fans that he did not have police protection at that time and keeping this in mind, they decided to target him. During the preliminary questioning, it was also revealed that the attack on Tiger was intended to spread fear in the industry. Several members of the film industry, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha, and Ravi Kishan have raised their concern following the incident.
Haze blankets Delhi-NCR; air quality slips into poor category
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) A layer of haze enveloped several parts of the national capital on Wednesday morning, reducing visibility as Delhi-NCR witnessed a decline in air quality following the Dussehra festivities. According to the Air Quality Early Warning System (AQEWS), Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) entered the 'poor' category and will remain there until October 23. The national capital recorded an AQI of 179 on Tuesday, placing it in the 'moderate' category. However, the forecast indicates a deterioration in pollution levels over the coming days, raising concerns as the city approaches the winter season, when air quality traditionally worsens. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), an AQI ranging from zero to 50 is classified as 'good', 51 to 100 as 'satisfactory', 101 to 200 as 'moderate', 201 to 300 as 'poor', 301 to 400 as 'very poor', and 401 to 500 as 'severe'. Delhi last witnessed 'poor' air quality on July 13, when the AQI touched 246. The anticipated deterioration comes amid changing weather conditions and the beginning of a period when pollution from multiple sources tends to accumulate over the region. Stubble burning remains one of the factors contributing to seasonal air pollution in the national capital. According to the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, 19 incidents of crop residue burning were recorded across six monitored states earlier this month. Punjab and Uttar Pradesh reported seven incidents each, while Madhya Pradesh recorded four and Haryana one. Farmers often burn crop residue to clear agricultural fields before sowing the next crop, including wheat and vegetables. Pollution from such activities in neighbouring states, particularly Punjab and Haryana, can affect Delhi's air quality, especially when unfavourable meteorological conditions prevent pollutants from dispersing. Meanwhile, temperatures in the national capital have also remained below normal at several weather stations. Safdarjung, Delhi's primary meteorological station, recorded a maximum temperature of 31.8 degrees Celsius, 0.8 degrees below normal, while the minimum temperature settled at 17.7 degrees Celsius, 0.7 degrees below the seasonal average. At Palam, the maximum temperature was recorded at 29.3 degrees Celsius, 3.5 degrees below normal, while the minimum stood at 17.3 degrees Celsius, 1.6 degrees below normal. Lodhi Road registered a maximum of 31.4 degrees Celsius, 0.6 degrees below normal, and a minimum of 17 degrees Celsius, in line with the seasonal average. The weather department has forecast no rainfall over the coming week. Delhi is expected to experience mainly clear skies on October 21, 22 and 23, followed by partly cloudy conditions on October 24 and 25. The absence of rain could limit the natural removal of airborne pollutants, depending on wind speed and other atmospheric conditions. With winter approaching, the Delhi government has announced a series of measures to curb pollution under its seasonal action plan. The measures, being implemented under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's plan, are scheduled to remain in force from November 1 to February 28. Among the key initiatives is the 'No Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC), No Fuel' policy, under which petrol pumps will be prohibited from supplying fuel to vehicles without a valid pollution certificate. Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras will be deployed to strengthen monitoring and enforcement at fuel stations. The government has also announced restrictions on the entry of vehicles registered outside Delhi that do not comply with BS-VI emission standards. The restrictions will apply from November 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027, while CNG and electric vehicles will be exempt. Construction-related dust pollution will also face restrictions. Dust-generating demolition and outdoor civil construction activities will be prohibited between November 1, 2026 and January 31, 2027. In addition, a complete ban on construction and demolition work is planned from December 10 to January 20. The winter action plan also includes a proposed 50 per cent work-from-home arrangement for offices as part of efforts to reduce vehicular emissions and ease the seasonal pollution burden. The measures are aimed at addressing the recurring deterioration in Delhi's air quality during winter, when emissions from vehicles, construction activities, industrial sources and agricultural fires, combined with unfavourable weather conditions, can contribute to elevated pollution levels.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah will pay homage to the martyrs on Police Commemoration Day at the National Police Memorial in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi on Wednesday. The Union Home Minister will also address the assembly. The programme will conclude with him laying a wreath at the altar dedicated to the martyrs of Hot Springs, according to the official statement. The Home Minister will also flag off a motorcycle rally of about 90 police riders from States/UTs (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi); Central Armed Police Forces (CRPF, CISF, BSF, SSB, ITBP and NSG) and some Central Police Organisations (RPF, NDRF and NIA). According to the statement, this initiative is part of a nationwide Fight Against Drugs rally, in which police riders from all States, Union Territories, and Central Forces will converge at Ekta Nagar, Gujarat, to participate in the Ekta Parade on October 31. On the lines of previous years, Police Commemoration Day will be observed across the country to pay homage to police martyrs. The main function will be organised at National Police Memorial, New Delhi, where a joint parade of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Delhi Police would be held. As part of the remembrances, CAPFs/CPOs will organise various commemorative events at NPM from October 22 to 30, which will include visits of family members of martyrs, Police Band Display, motorcycle rallies, Run for Martyrs, blood donation camps, essay/painting competitions for children and display of video films showcasing sacrifice, valour and services of police personnel, said the statement. On this day in 1959, 10 valiant policemen laid down their lives in an ambush laid by heavily armed Chinese troops at Hot Springs, Ladakh. Since then, October 21 is observed as Police Commemoration Day every year. In recognition of the sacrifices made by police personnel and their paramount role in preserving national security and integrity, the Prime Minister dedicated the National Police Memorial (NPM), Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, to the nation on Police Commemoration Day 2018.
Tiger Shroff firing case: Four more people, including two women, arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Three accused were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, in connection with the case. Further investigation is underway.
Ruhullah accuses BJP of creating hostile atmosphere for Kashmiris within, outside J&K
Srinagar, Oct 20:Member of Parliament Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday accused the BJP of creating a hostile environment for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, alleging that Kashmiris were facing harassment and suspicion both within the J&K and in other parts of the country. Talking to reporters in Srinagar, Ruhullah said the situation had not normalised since 2019 and alleged that the relationship between J&K and the Union government had instead become hostile. Instead of normalising Kashmir, it has been polarised, he said. Ruhullah said that the BJP was responsible for the hostility faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said Kashmiris were being treated as suspects in their own homeland, citing the verification, restrictions on movement along highways and the continued detention of prisoners without trials. Ruhullah expressed concern over incidents of alleged harassment of Kashmiris outside J&K. Referring to a recent incident in Karnal, Haryana, he alleged that Kashmiris were increasingly being viewed with suspicion in other states as well. On protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Ruhullah said the demonstrations were genuine and reflected an attempt by students, activists and concerned citizens to reclaim democratic space. Democracy has been suppressed over the past 10 to 12 years. But the public protests were the beginning to exercise the right to expression, he said. He however cautioned that it was too early to say it had been fully restored. Drawing a comparison with Kashmir, Ruhullah referred to the shutdown in Delhi, the detention of activists and internet restrictions during the recent protests. He said people in Kashmir have experienced similar measures on a much larger scale. Srinagar MP also called for criminal proceedings against the Chief Election Commissioner if allegations of compromise were established, and demanded a review of elections conducted under his tenure . The protests represented an effort to challenge authoritarianism and seek accountability. Safeguarding the Constitution and democracy requires sustained public engagement, Ruhullah said. Reacting to National Conference President Farooq Abdullah's remarks on abrogation of Article 370, he said the decision was wrong and doing commentary on it was not sufficient. The decision of August 5 is wrong. Everyone knows this. But to reverse it, to stand against it institutionally, democratically and peacefully, what is the government doing? What is the party doing? Ruhullah said. He criticised the performance of the J&K government, saying people were disappointed with both its political agenda and governance after two years in office. He cited concerns relating to electricity, employment, reservation, students, interns, prisoners, and the protection of jobs, questioning what tangible achievements the government could point to in addressing public grievances. Ruhullah said the people of J&K also seek clarity on constitutional guarantees and the restoration of statehood, adding that the government's response to these issues only contributed to public disappointment.
Ruhullah flags growing public discontent
Srinagar, Oct 20:- National Conference MP from Srinagar Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday questioned the performance of the Jammu and Kashmir government, alleging a lack of progress on key political commitments and public concerns, including employment, reservation, electricity and the protection of local jobs. Speaking to reporters, Ruhullah said people had placed their trust in the elected government with expectations of progress on the restoration of constitutional guarantees and other pressing issues, but were now disappointed with its performance. He questioned what the government had achieved on its political agenda and governance, asking whether it had delivered on promises concerning Article 370, employment, students, interns, prisoners and reservation. On the restoration of Article 370, Ruhullah said merely describing its abrogation as a wrong decision was insufficient, and called for concrete institutional, democratic and peaceful efforts to reverse the decision of August 5, 2019. He also criticised the government's handling of student protests over reservation and the grievances of interns, alleging that assurances to resolve their concerns within a month had not resulted in a satisfactory outcome. Students are back on the streets. Interns are back on the streets, he said, claiming that those who had raised their concerns were left disappointed after the promised deadline passed. The Srinagar MP further alleged that the political situation since 2019 had contributed to hostility towards Kashmiris within Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of the country. Referring to verification measures and an incident in Karnal, Haryana, he said Kashmiris continued to face suspicion and harassment. Ruhullah also raised concerns over prisoners from Jammu and Kashmir who, he claimed, had remained in detention for years without trial. He criticised the treatment of protesters and activists and expressed concern over restrictions affecting democratic rights. On electoral accountability, he called for allegations concerning the Election Commission to be examined seriously and sought the resignation of the election commissioner facing allegations, along with criminal proceedings if wrongdoing was established. Ruhullah said political leaders should be judged by their actions rather than statements, urging the government to demonstrate tangible progress on constitutional guarantees, employment, reservation, electricity supply and other public concerns. He maintained that peaceful protests and demands for accountability remained important to protecting democratic and constitutional rights.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) A new angle has emerged in the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car, with preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused reportedly revealing that the actor was not their original target and that they had initially planned to attack another prominent Bollywood personality. Mumbai Police sources said the accused had travelled to Mumbai with the intention of targeting another celebrity. However, after finding it difficult to reach their intended target, they allegedly shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff. Investigators have reportedly found that the accused learned about the actor's security arrangements through Instagram reels uploaded by his fans. The videos allegedly indicated that the 36-year-old actor did not usually have police security accompanying him, prompting the attackers to consider him an easier target, sources added. During preliminary questioning, the accused, according to sources, disclosed that they wanted to kill the actor to spread fear in the Bollywood industry. According to sources, the attackers also conducted reconnaissance by monitoring Tiger Shroff's movements through his Instagram account and posts and videos shared by his fans. The firing took place on a busy Sunday evening and was captured on video. The actor, son of veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, escaped relatively unhurt. However, his driver and a bystander sustained injuries in the incident. According to Mumbai Police, five to six rounds were fired at the actor's car. A motorcycle allegedly used by the shooters was subsequently recovered in an abandoned condition in Andheri. Following the attack, the accused reportedly fled to Gujarat's Surat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. However, Mumbai Police arrested the three accused in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the case. Two of the arrested accused have been identified as Ritik, alias Roshan, from Begusarai in Bihar, and Rehan from Sonipat in Haryana. Police have registered a case under charges of attempted murder and relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Investigators are also examining the alleged links between the accused and members of organised criminal networks. Police said Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack in an unverified social media post. Meanwhile, a purported audio clip allegedly featuring Pandit, a 32-year-old US-based gangster from Panipat, has circulated widely on media platforms. In the recording, he allegedly claims that Tiger Shroff was targeted for ignoring warnings against working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, the authenticity of the audio clip has not been independently verified. Police are continuing to interrogate the arrested accused to establish the motive, identify the original intended target and ascertain the wider conspiracy behind the attack.

Asian Para Games: Himanshu Nandal clinches bronze in mens 400m freestyle S11
Digital Desk | Nagoya, Oct 20 (IANS) Indian swimmer Himanshu Nandal clinched the bronze medal in the mens 400m freestyle S11 event at the Asian Para Games here on Tuesday, clocking five minutes and 10.91 seconds to secure a podium finish in a four-swimmer field. The 22-year-old from Rohtak, Haryana, added another achievement to his growing para-swimming career, demonstrating his endurance in the pool after narrowly missing out on a medal in his previous event. Nandal had finished fourth in the mens 100m backstroke S11 competition on Monday. Born blind due to optic nerve failure, Nandal has steadily established himself as one of Indias promising visually impaired swimmers. The S11 classification is designated for athletes with near-total visual impairment, making his latest performance a significant addition to his competitive journey. Nandals sporting career began outside the swimming pool. He initially pursued judo, winning medals at national-level competitions before switching to swimming in 2021. The transition soon proved fruitful, with his performances at domestic championships marking him out as a swimmer to watch. At the 2022 National Championships in Udaipur, Nandal won two gold medals and set a national record in the 100m freestyle S11 event, completing the race in 1 minute and 17 seconds. Later that year, he continued his impressive run at the championships in Guwahati, winning three more gold medals and setting national records. His progress subsequently extended to the international stage. After receiving international classification in the S11 category in 2023, Nandal represented India at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, China. In 2024, he became the first Indian blind swimmer to achieve the Minimum Qualification Standard for the Paris Paralympics, underlining his growing stature in the sport. He further tested himself against the worlds best at the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore, where he reached two finals. Meanwhile, Indias Ravi Karthik Budigina finished fifth in the mens 400m freestyle S13 event in 5:41.70. Budigina had won silver in the mens 100m freestyle S13 event on Monday. The S13 classification covers eligible swimmers with vision impairment who have comparatively less severe visual impairment.

Kashmir is slowly losing its ability to feed itself. Cultivable land in Jammu and Kashmir is barely 4.4 percent of the total geography; mountains, forests and rough terrain make up the rest. Yet this small stretch of fertile ground is exactly what we are covering with housing colonies, shopping complexes and roads, or turning into orchards. The numbers tell the story. Paddy acreage fell from 1,62,309 hectares in 2012-13 to 1,32,641 in 2024-25, a loss of nearly 5.93 lakh kanal. Satellite studies show the Valleys farmland shrank by about 28 percent between 1992 and 2015. Kashmir now grows perhaps half of what it eats. The rest comes from Punjab and Haryana. Rice imports rose from 3.74 lakh tonnes in 2022-23 to 4.86 lakh tonnes in 2024-25. A staple we once grew in plenty now depends on trucks, highways and open supply routes. Anyone who remembers a blocked highway in winter knows how fragile that is. Farmers should not be blamed. A grower who earned
Cabinet expansion after LGs return: Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar, Oct 19: National Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah on Monday said the long-awaited expansion of the Council of Ministers would take place after Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha returns to the Valley, bringing renewed attention to the pending reshuffle in the Omar Abdullah-led government. Speaking to reporters in Budgam, Abdullah said the LGs return would pave the way for the exercise. The LG was not well and is out of J&K. When the LG comes, there will be an expansion of the cabinet, he said. The statement comes three days after CM Omar-led government completed two years in office without undertaking a major Cabinet reshuffle. The expansion has been under discussion for several months, with the CM previously indicating that he would consult Abdullah before taking a final decision. CM Omar had earlier said that a decision on the expansion would follow the GST Council meeting and consultations with the NC president. The latest statement by Abdullah indicates that the exercise is now expected after the LGs return, although no specific date has been announced. Under Section 53(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the Council of Ministers cannot exceed 10 percent of the total strength of the Legislative Assembly. With 90 elected members, the council can have a maximum of nine members, including the Chief Minister. The present council comprises six members: CM Omar, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary, and Ministers Sakeena Masood Itoo, Javed Ahmed Rana, Javid Ahmad Dar and Satish Sharma. This leaves room for three additional ministerial appointments. The anticipated expansion has triggered speculation over the induction of experienced legislators and a possible reshuffle of existing portfolios. The position of Congress, an electoral ally of the NC, remains another factor in the political calculations surrounding the expansion. Congress has so far declined to join the government, opting to support it from outside until the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The NC had offered the party a ministerial berth, but Congress has maintained its position on statehood. Separately, Abdullah said the elected government was functioning on a double-edged sword, citing uncertainty over the division of powers between the LG and the elected dispensation. Referring to the delimitation exercise, he said assurances had been given that elections would follow delimitation and that statehood would subsequently be restored. The assurances were given to us, but the BJP is not keeping its promises, he said. He also recalled that NC MPs had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in January to discuss the business rules intended to clearly define the respective powers of the LG and the elected government. It has been ten months since that meeting, but the business rules have still not been framed, he said. Abdullahs remarks underline the continuing political debate over the functioning of the elected government under the Union Territory framework, even as the administration prepares for a possible restructuring of its Council of Ministers. About reports that Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi could resign from Parliament on November 3, Abdullah said the decision rested with the MP himself. If Ruhullah wants to resign, he is free to do so. It makes no difference, he said. He did not elaborate further on the reported resignation or the circumstances surrounding it. Abdullah also expressed concern over the attack on a Kashmir-bound passenger bus in Haryana, saying CM Omar Abdullah had sought strict action against those responsible and compensation for the damage caused. He said the incident required immediate attention from the authorities, warning that attempts to disturb peace could have wider consequences if not addressed promptly. Abdullah said the CM had urged the Central Government to take cognisance of the matter and ensure that such incidents did not recur. The attack has triggered concern in Jammu and Kashmir, with political leaders calling for accountability and adequate protection for passengers travelling outside the Union Territory.

Digital Desk | Rakhigarhi (Haryana), Oct 19 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday inaugurated the seven-day Rakhigarhi Festival -- 2026 at Rakhigarhi in Hisar district, highlighting the archaeological sites significance as a symbol of India's ancient civilisation and announcing a grant of Rs 51 lakh for the village panchayat. Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Saini said the soil of Rakhigarhi preserved the legacy of the hard work, craftsmanship and advanced civilisation of India's ancestors. He described the historic site as a symbol of the region's thousands-of-years-old identity, cultural affinity and pride. The festival's theme this year is Maati Se Mahotsav Tak (From Earth to Festival). Heritage and Tourism Minister Arvind Kumar Sharma was also present at the event. The Chief Minister assured the village panchayat that its demands, submitted through a memorandum, would be addressed. He also announced financial assistance of Rs 51 lakh for the panchayat. Before inaugurating the festival, Saini visited the museum under construction at Rakhigarhi and inspected various stalls, sports activities and other attractions organised at the site. He also reviewed a demonstration by the Archaeology Department explaining the excavation process and displaying artefacts recovered during archaeological digs. Saini, Sharma and Haryana Heritage and Tourism Department Commissioner and Secretary Amit Agrawal also examined a seal displayed at the site. Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said the festival would provide an opportunity for people to reconnect with their roots and understand their responsibilities towards future generations. Explaining the significance of the theme, he said the soil becomes food in a farmer's hands, takes shape in a potter's hands and becomes an expression of culture through an artist's work. While Kurukshetra conveyed the message of action and duty to humanity, Rakhigarhi revealed the story of an organised human civilisation dating back thousands of years, he said. The archaeological remains at the site, including pottery, beads, seals and craft-related objects, offer valuable insights into the creativity of ancient communities and the evolution of human life, agriculture, craftsmanship and social organisation.

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.

Digital Desk | Abohar (Punjab), Oct 19 (IANS) Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said on Monday that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan should apologise to the Bishnoi community and if he does not, there will be dangerous consequences. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has an animosity with Salman Khan due to his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan during the filming of the blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. The actor was convicted by a trial court in 2018, a verdict he has contested in higher courts, and maintains his innocence. Speaking to IANS in the aftermath of an attack on Tiger Shroff, which the Bollywood star narrowly escaped, Ramesh Bishnoi said, As you heard in the audio, I heard the same thing: That we have stopped him and want to warn him again that anyone who works with Salman Khan could face consequences. He added that he was just quoting the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, These are not my words, Im just citing their emotions on the matter. I want to tell Salman Khans family to give up their stubbornness. This is an issue affecting the entire community, and there is widespread anger within it, he added. Ramesh Bishnoi further said that there was anger within the Bishnoi community, and Lawrence is just expressing the entire communitys anger. Lawrence has no personal dispute with Salman Khan, nor is it a personal dispute with the community. The issue is that he has hurt our religious sentiments. There is widespread anger within the community, he added. He further said Lawrence had offered a straightforward solution to Salman Khan, that he should come forward and apologise, but the actor doesnt want to apologise.
