Gill To Captain India In First Three ODIs Against NZ, Iyer To Lead In Last Two Games
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Keeping in mind the short turnaround time between the Test and ODI series against New Zealand, ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will take charge for the final two games after Shubman Gill leads the visitors in the first three matches. While Gill leads the 16-member setup for the opening three fixtures with Iyer as his deputy, a reshuffle in the last two games will see Iyer elevated to the captaincy role. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who features in both squads, has been named vice-captain for the fourth and fifth ODIs. Senior batting stars and former captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be available for the entire duration of the ODI series, alongside all-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, and Naman Dhir. Regular wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, along with pacers Anshul Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna, whose inclusion for the opening phase remains subject to fitness and recovery from his left hamstring injury, will feature only in the first three ODI matches before they take off to prepare for the Test series. For the final two ODI games, the selectors have drafted left-handed batter Tilak Varma and pacer Auqib Nabi, while Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra and fast bowler Yash Thakur, who has played T20Is so far, have been handed their maiden ODI call-ups. Other members in the ODI squads are left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, seamer Mohammed Siraj, and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, alongside tall pacer Gurnoor Brar and right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad. Contrary to various speculation, theres no recall for senior pacer Mohammed Shami or Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was added to the squad for the fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru and will be in the T20I series in New Zealand starting on October 22. The five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will kick off on November 4, at Eden Park in Auckland, and is followed by the second ODI at Basin Reserve in Wellington on November 7. The action then shifts to Seddon Park, Hamilton, for the third match on November 10, before the series concludes with back-to-back games at Mount Maunganui on November 13 and 15, respectively. All five matches of the series are scheduled to start at 7:30 AM IST. Indias ODI squad for the first three games: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (vc), KL Rahul (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Kishan (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav The action then shifts to Seddon Park, Hamilton, for the third match on November 10, before the series concludes with back-to-back games at Mount Maunganui on November 13 and 15, respectively.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS) After actor Imran Khan being served a notice to leave the country over his alleged unlawful participation in the recent August Kranti Maidan protests in Mumbai, NDA leaders said on Friday that the actor was not an Indian citizen and that his participation in the protests was illegal. They added that the law applies equally to everyone, whether Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders or Bollywood actors. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Guru Prakash Paswan said, If he (Imran Khan) is not an Indian citizen, if he is here on a work visa and trying to be part of illegal protests, then action will be taken against him. Everyone is equal before the law, be it CJP leaders or Bollywood actors. Jharkhand BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo said, Imran Khan is an American citizen, and he was staying in India with a work permit. Now he is taking part in Indian protests. Why should an American citizen participate in India's protests? Why didn't he take Indian citizenship? Why is he here just for work in films? Previously, it was his relative (actor Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao) who claimed that they felt unsafe in India, Deo added. Citing a clause of the 'Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025', which states that foreigners can't protest in India, Deo said that Imran Khan should be deported immediately. In Chhattisgarh, BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj said, There were two important issues of our nation: first was Lord Ram's temple -- the temple was built; there was no ounce of commotion; the other was Article 370 -- people said that it would bring bloodshed, but there was no change. But when PM Modi introduced the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, all the anti-national forces got together. More than Rs 30,000 crore enter the nation through FCRA to enforce Islam and enforce Christianity in the nation, or to run such protests in the country, he added. There are external forces which are working to sabotage PM Modi's vision for a Viksit Bharat by 2047. These protests are not against PM Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah; these protests are against the nation, the BJP MP said. BJP MP Rahul Sinha commented, he (Imran Khan) should be deported; why should a foreigner who is here for work be a part of such a protest? Janta Dal-United leader Shyam Rajak said that in a nation, only a citizen of the country can participate in such protests. If someone is here from outside the country, either they are here for tourism or for education. They can't be here for protests. You cannot come to a foreign nation and question their freedom; it's illegal, he added. Actor Imran Khan was ordered to leave India over his allegedly unlawful participation in the recent August Kranti Maidan protests, which demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) said in its order that the actor allegedly violated the Foreigners Act by participating in the protests as he is not an Indian citizen, and holds Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI).

SC issues notice to ECI, CEC on Rahul Gandhi, INDIA bloc plea against SIR
New Delhi, Oct 15: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on a petition filed by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders challenging alleged large-scale voter deletions and irregularities in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to Bar & Bench, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi sought responses from the poll panel and the CEC and tagged the pleas with petitions already pending before the court challenging the validity of SIR in various states. We are issuing notice and tagging it with the matters already pending. Somebody will accept notice on behalf of the Election Commission of India. Otherwise, serve them, the bench said. The court also indicated that it would seek an explanation from one of the petitioners regarding his conduct at the next hearing, without specifying the person concerned. Issue notice. But one objection, before that. We would like to ask one of the petitioners about his conduct on the next date of hearing. Issuing notice does not mean that we are condemning anything. We are issuing notice. But about one of the petitioners, we will definitely entertain the issue. Issue notice. The notice on behalf of one of the petitioners will be entertained on a provisional basis, subject to his explaining his conduct, the bench observed. The petition has been filed by Rahul Gandhi along with several opposition leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Trinamool Congress leader Saugata Roy, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, CPI(M) leader MA Baby and CPI leader D Raja. Other petitioners include Mahua Majhi of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Supriya Sule of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar faction) and Mohammed Basheer of the Indian Union Muslim League. The petition challenges alleged large-scale deletions of voters and irregularities in the SIR process and seeks judicial intervention in the exercise. Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders had marched to the Supreme Court on October 12 before filing the plea. The development comes amid protests in Delhi against the SIR exercise, with demonstrators also demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The protests followed an Indian Express report alleging that Kumar had taken several decisions relating to the revision exercise unilaterally despite objections from two Election Commissioners. The allegations have added to opposition concerns over the conduct of the electoral roll revision. Several protesters were detained by Delhi Police over the weekend after prohibitory orders were imposed under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The detentions have also led to petitions before the Supreme Court, including allegations that lawyers and journalists were prevented from performing their professional duties. The Supreme Courts notice seeks responses from the poll panel on the issues raised. By tagging the fresh petitions with matters already pending on SIR, the court has brought the latest challenge into the existing proceedings on the electoral roll revision exercise.

Bokaro Steel Plant stir intensifies, 106 displaced youths on hunger strike, two gates blocked
Digital Desk | Bokaro (Jharkhand), Oct 15 (IANS) The agitation by trained youths from families displaced by the Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) intensified on Thursday over demands for permanent employment and a clear recruitment policy. The protesters have indefinitely blocked Gates 9 and 10 of the steel plant. They have warned that they would block other entry gates if their demands were not addressed soon. They also threatened to disrupt production at the plant if necessary. As many as 106 youths, protesting under the banner of the Visthapit Naujawan Sangharsh Morcha, have been on an indefinite hunger strike at Two-Tank Garden near the plant premises for the past six days. Their demands include regular appointments for 1,500 trained apprentices from displaced families, restoration of the earlier reservation arrangement in Class-IV jobs, and formulation of a clear employment policy for these families. Morcha president Arun Kumar Mahato alleged that the BSL management was not taking their demands seriously. He said families displaced by the steel plant had given up their land for its establishment, but their dependants continued to struggle for employment. He warned that if the management failed to take concrete steps soon, the agitation would be intensified further and attempts would be made to halt operations at the plant. Another protest leader, Sunil Kumar, said the youths had been receiving assurances for nearly one-and-a-half years, but there had been no concrete outcome on the issue of appointments. He said youths who had completed their training were still awaiting jobs, while they were being asked to settle for contractual work instead of permanent employment. The protesters have demanded that a clear timeline be fixed for providing permanent appointments to trained youths from displaced families. Amid the escalating agitation, BSL's security department has written to the administration apprising it of the prevailing situation. The letter expressed apprehension that the protest could affect production and industrial safety at the plant. Concerns have also been raised over the possible impact on the functioning of various units at the plant, ranging from the coke ovens to the CRM. In view of the situation, the administration has deployed magistrates around Two-Tank Garden in three shifts. Some of those participating in the hunger strike were taken to Sadar Hospital for treatment after their health deteriorated. For now, the deadlock between the protesters and the management continues. While the displaced youths are seeking a concrete decision on permanent employment and an employment policy, concerns are mounting over the possible impact of an expanded agitation on the plant's operations and safety.

MP Police arrest cyber fraud accused in Bihar
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 14 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh police office in Dewas district have arrested a cyber fraud accused from Bihar's Katihar district, around 1,500 km away, for allegedly cheating a 62-year-old retired employee of Rs 6.03 lakh by posing as a bank official, police said on Wednesday. The police seized Rs 5 lakh in cash from the accused's residence during the operation conducted under Madhya Pradesh's e-Zero FIR system, which aims to ensure swift action in cybercrime cases. According to police, the accused and his associates contacted the retired employee, a resident of Dewas, posing as bank officials. They allegedly promised to update his pension card and help him obtain tax benefits, persuading him to transfer Rs 6.03 lakh through various channels. Following a complaint, the Kotwali police registered a case and launched an investigation. A special team was formed under the direction of Dewas Superintendent of Police Punit Gehlot to trace the accused. The team analysed banking transactions, mobile numbers and other technical evidence before travelling to Katihar in Bihar and arresting the accused, Dewas SP Punit Gehlot said on Wednesday. During the investigation, the police recovered Rs 5 lakh in cash from a cupboard at the accused's house. Further examination of technical and other evidence indicated that the alleged key members of the cyber fraud network were linked to Jamtara in Jharkhand, police said. The investigation is underway to identify other members of the alleged gang, trace their bank accounts and digital transactions, and recover the remaining amount. The arrest is part of the district's ongoing Operation Cyber, aimed at curbing online fraud and helping victims recover their money. Under the e-Zero FIR system, Dewas has registered 130 cases so far, arrested 26 accused and seized approximately Rs 98.52 lakh, Gehlot said. He stated that Madhya Pradesh Police were using technical evidence and coordination across states to identify cybercrime networks and take action against those involved in online fraud.

Jharkhand doctors stage demonstrations over Medical Protection Act, service conditions
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 14 (IANS) Doctors in Jharkhand launched a protest on Wednesday over a slew of demands concerning their safety and service conditions. They staged demonstrations and wore black badges while on duty under the banner of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). In Ranchi, hundreds of government and private doctors, along with junior and senior doctors, staged demonstrations at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) and Sadar Hospital. A delegation later submitted a memorandum listing their demands to the director's office. According to the IMA's Jharkhand unit, the protest is mainly aimed at ensuring the safety of doctors and strengthening the state's healthcare system. Among their key demands are strict implementation of the Jharkhand Medical Protection Act, practical amendments to the Clinical Establishments Act, and introduction of Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) for medical and dental practitioners and specialist doctors on the lines of the Centre and Bihar. The doctors have also sought settlement of pending payments to hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, simplification of licensing and registration through a single-window system, improvements in the recruitment and service conditions of junior doctors, and safe workplaces for women doctors. Medical organisations said the agitation was not directed against patients or healthcare services, but was intended to ensure doctors' safety and better treatment for patients. Emergency and life-saving medical services remained fully operational during the protest. According to a letter issued by the IMA, if the state government fails to take a positive initiative on their demands, doctors will hold a statewide protest across Jharkhand on October 21. If the government still fails to take concrete steps, doctors across the state will be compelled to go on a complete work boycott from October 22, 2026. Those present at Wednesday's protest in Ranchi included IMA Jharkhand Secretary Dr Pradeep Singh, IMA HBI State Coordinator Dr Abhishek Ramadhin, Dr Shambhu Singh, Jharkhand Medical Service Association representatives Dr Ajit and Dr Stephen, Junior Doctors' Association state president Dr Vikas, Dr Jaideep, and Jharkhand Health Employees Federation president Mohd Adil, besides a large number of doctors and healthcare workers.
