Woman's beheaded body found in Jharkhand forest, ritual items fuel human sacrifice speculation
Digital Desk | Dhanbad, Sep 11 (IANS) A beheaded body of an unidentified woman was recovered from a forest under Baliapur police station limits in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Friday, triggering panic in the area. The discovery of incense sticks and other ritual materials near the spot where the body was found led villagers to suspect that the woman may have been killed as part of a human sacrifice. Police, however, said it was too early to draw any conclusion and that the motive behind the murder would become clear only after a detailed investigation and a post-mortem examination are conducted. The incident came to light in a forest area near Chataniya Bridge, ahead of Madai Than in Dhangi Basti. An area resident, Kishore Kumar Mahto, had gone into the forest in the morning when he noticed what appeared to be a human leg. Suspicious, he alerted other villagers, who reached the spot and found the woman's body lying in the forest. Following information from the villagers, a police team from Baliapur police station rushed to the scene and began an investigation. According to police, the woman's severed head was found inside a plastic sack, while the torso was recovered from another location in the forest. Ritual materials, including incense sticks, were also reportedly found near the site. The recovery of the materials sparked speculation among local residents that the woman may have been a victim of human sacrifice. Police officials, however, cautioned against premature conclusions, saying all possible angles were being examined and that the actual reason behind the killing would be established only after the investigation is completed. Baliapur police station ASI Ashok Kumar said the deceased appeared to be between 25 and 30 years of age. Her identity has not yet been established. He said police are conducting inquiries in nearby villages and surrounding areas to identify the victim and trace those responsible for the crime. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, and further action will be taken on the basis of the findings and other evidence collected during the probe.

'I Played The Ball, Not The Bowler': Salil Arora Recalls No-look Six Off Bumrah In IPL 2026
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Punjab batter Salil Arora made headlines when he smashed a 10-ball 30 against Mumbai Indians in one of the matches during his debut Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he hit a spectacular no-look six off India pace icon Jasprit Bumrah. Arora played a strong hand in the death overs in SRH's clash against five-time winners MI, as he helped his team chase down 244 at the Wankhede Stadium. Heinrich Klaasen led the chase with his unbeaten 30-ball 65, but Salil also made a strong impact coming in at No.6 in the death overs with his 30-run outing, which included three sixes and two fours. He hit one of those maximums to Bumrah, a no-look hit straight down the ground to one of the best modern-day cricketers in the world. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Arora recalled his memorable knock, emphasising that his focus was not on the bowler, but on the ball rather. When I went to bat, there were a lot of big names in front of me. Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav among others. So our senior players and coaches were just telling me, 'don't think that there are big players in front of you'. So when Bumrah came to bowl to me, I didn't think he was coming in. I played the ball, not the bowler, and backed my batting, Salil told IANS. Arora, who is currently playing for Ludhiana Lions in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, had a stellar outing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26, wherein he scored 358 runs, including an unbeaten 125 off 45 balls against Jharkhand. That helped him earn an IPL deal with SRH as he was picked for Rs 1.50 crore by the 2016 champions. Arora reflected on the advice he received from the SRH leadership group and sharing the dressing room with the likes of Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Arora, who is currently playing for Ludhiana Lions in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, had a stellar outing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26, wherein he scored 358 runs, including an unbeaten 125 off 45 balls against Jharkhand.

'Dream is to play for India': Salil Arora wants more SMAT, IPL success for national cap
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Salil Arora is looking ahead to the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Indian Premier League as he looks to fulfil his dream of playing for India in the future. The 23-year-old, who is currently playing for Ludhiana Lions in the ongoing Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, had a stellar Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign in 2025-26 and also impressed many with his exploits in the IPL 2026. Arora was Punjab's leading run-scorer in the SMAT 2025-26, having scored 358 runs in eight innings, including a maverick unbeaten 125 off 45 balls against Jharkhand. His SMAT exploits helped him earn an IPL contract with the SRH ahead of the 2026 season, and he impressed in his limited time at the crease in the death overs, with a notable knock of 30 off just 10 balls being one of his major highlights from the season. Speaking to IANS, Arora revealed that his dream remains to play for India as he is eyeing another strong SMAT and an IPL and is not looking to take pressure from his previous strong outings. Yes, I see the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as a strong opportunity. I want to perform there and then go to the IPL. And then I want to perform in the IPL and play for the Indian team. This is my dream and my goal, he told IANS. Arora, the wicketkeeper batter, is currently part of the leadership group of Ludhiana in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League and has led the side in the absence of Arshdeep Singh. He has played a few fiery knocks, including a 38-ball 78 against Fazilka Falcons, and has also batted higher up the order at No.3 in the tournament. The young batter shared that the outings in the state franchise league have helped him, while he also opened on the change in batting position in the league. I am getting a lot of confidence (from these knocks). So, I will try to carry this momentum forward in the next match. We want to win the next match and play the semifinals. I felt the need to bat higher up the order, as per the requirements of the team. So as I changed the batting order, the result was also positive. So I thought I should play up, he said, highlighting his unbeaten 78 off 38 deliveries.

Ishan Kishan extends unbeaten captaincy record with Duleep Trophy win
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 10 (IANS) India international Ishan Kishan extended his unbeaten record as captain in first-class cricket after leading the East Zone to their third-ever Duleep Trophy title on Thursday. Kishan was in stellar form in the final against South Zone, scoring 350 across two innings to lead the domestic side to a win on the first-innings lead. With the victory, Kishan has also extended his record for being unbeaten as captain in first-class cricket to 16 matches. His run began in 2018 and is now in its ninth year. This has made him enter the top 10 of the unbeaten captains list in FC cricket. As per CricViz, the list is headed by former Sri Lanka cricketer Mahinda Halangoda, who was unbeaten in 30 FC matches as skipper. Meanwhile, Kishan credited the team's collective effort for their win. We won this title as a group. I think everyone was taking care of each other, which was the most important thing for me. I think I've been a good leader (offered a cheeky smile), but I think the journey doesn't end here. You need to keep getting better in all the departments. Whether you're fielding or batting, you'll always make mistakes. So we just need to rectify that and get better day by day, Kishan said in the post-match presentation ceremony. The Duleep Trophy win is Kishan's second title as captain after winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Jharkhand in the 2025/26 season. Reflecting on his approach and mindset during his time away from the national team, the wicketkeeper-batter highlighted how the period helped him mature both as a cricketer and as a captain. I think it was more about just being calmer after the break, being more into the game, knowing what's important, how aware you are of the game and how you are reading the situation. You need to take care of each other, try and help each and every ball, so they don't get into that zone where I was. So I was just trying to help everyone, and it's been a good transformation for me as well. I've been more calm, more aware of situations, and more hungry. You want to perform for your team. You need to make your team win, and that is something which changed in me. Hundred percent, that is going to be there (on being that cheeky guy) till I turn ninety, he added.

Apart from Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan produced an impressive 85 on his Duleep Trophy debut and continued the strong touch he has displayed in the last domestic season. The duo, along with Kishan, ensured that Jharkhands influence remained central to East Zones title victory. Earlier in the morning, Quraishi and Roy extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 150 runs, and pushed East Zones total beyond the 700-run mark. South Zone were penalised five runs in the 73rd over due to an unacceptably slow over-rate, following a prolonged discussion between the match officials and South Zone captain Tilak Varma. Quraishi eventually brought up his maiden first-class century in the 96th over by driving pacer CV Milind towards extra cover for two runs to reach the three-figure mark. The young batter removed his helmet and raised his arms to celebrate as his teammates lauded him with a standing ovation from the balcony. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on. From the other end, Roy completed a patient half-century by steering Shaik Rasheed through point for a single in the 89th over. Roys resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Devdutt Padikkal off MD Nidheesh for 64, after pushing loosely at a length delivery outside off-stump. After Quraishi chipped a delivery from Milind safely down to mid-on off the second ball of the 100th over, skipper Kishan officially signalled the declaration from the pavilion. The umpires immediately removed the bails to conclude the final, thus confirming East Zone as the new champions.

Heavy rain alert for parts of Jharkhand till Sep 12
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) In a massive exercise to clean up Maharashtras voter database, the Election Commissions ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive has uncovered data discrepancies and technical anomalies in the enumeration forms of over 1.22 crore voters currently listed in the states draft electoral roll. Electoral authorities have initiated the issuance of formal notices to all affected individuals, requiring them to submit valid documentary proof to confirm their voter status. Concurrently, to prevent partisan misuse and safeguard against targeted mass deletions, State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) S. Chockalingam has issued strict administrative directives barring any objections filed by individuals residing outside the targeted Assembly Constituency. Authorities have issued formal notices to all affected individuals, requiring them to submit supporting documentary proof to validate their status. Prior to the launch of the SIR drive, Maharashtras registered voter base stood at 9,78,54,049. Following field verification of enumeration forms, the Election Commission published the draft electoral roll on August 31, retaining 7,71,65,562 voters -- representing 78.86 per cent of the original total. Demographic breakdown of the retained electorate includes male voters: 3,95,89,905; female voters: 3,75,72,570; transgender voters: 3,087; and total retained: 7,71,65,562. Nearly 2,06,88,487 voters (21.14 per cent of the previous roll) were excluded from the draft list. Major factors behind the deletions include the removal of approximately 34 lakh deceased voters and 17 lakh duplicate entries spread across multiple constituencies. Of the 7.71 crore voters retained in the draft list, technical discrepancies were flagged in the enumeration records of 1,22,24,000 individuals, comprising inconsistent relative information for 62,48,281 voters and unmapped relatives for 59,75,626 voters. More than 1,00,000 data discrepancies were flagged per constituency in key areas including Malad, Dharavi, Panvel, Ovala-Majiwada, Kalyan Rural, Khadakwasla, Chinchwad, Hadapsar, Solapur South, Nagpur East, Nagpur West, Nagpur North, Hingna, and Badnera. Sources within the Election Commission confirmed that notices have been served to these individuals, and their voter status will only be confirmed upon the verification of additional evidence. Taking serious note of concerns raised by political parties regarding targeted mass objections aimed at deleting voters belonging to specific communities, the election machinery has introduced strict procedural safeguards. Following reports from Jharkhand where systematic mass applications were submitted by party representatives to drop specific names, the State CEO has directed the Mumbai Municipal Commissioner and all District Collectors to exercise extreme caution while processing claims and objections. Voters currently on the draft list have already undergone basic residential verification and are deemed eligible. While Form-7 remains available to challenge or request removal of an entry, objections will be accepted only from registered voters residing within the same Assembly constituency. Any individual raising an objection must submit valid proof of the challenged voter's ineligibility along with the application. The challenged voter must be granted a formal opportunity to appear at a hearing and present supporting evidence before any final decision is made, the sources said.
