Huge cache of arms, ammunition recovered during anti-Naxal operation in Jharkhand
Digital Desk | Seraikela (Jharkhand), Sep 11 (IANS) The security forces in Jharkhand have recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including 317 live cartridges and an improvised explosive device (IED), during an anti-Naxal operation in Seraikela-Kharsawan district, police said on Friday. The recovery was made during a joint search operation conducted by the district police and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) in forested areas under the Kuchai and Chandil police station limits. The operation was launched based on information obtained during the interrogation of two recently arrested Maoists, police officials said. The arrested Maoists have been identified as Raghu Singh Sardar alias Sagar Singh Sardar, Biren Singh and Meena Pahadia alias Nepu Pahadia. According to police, Raghu Singh Sardar was an active member of the CPI (Maoist)'s Regional Committee as well as the West Bengal-Jharkhand-Odisha Border Committee. Meena Pahadia, around 26 years old, was active as a sub-zonal commander of the banned outfit and is wanted in several cases registered at Balarampur police station in West Bengal. Following a court-sanctioned remand, the two accused were interrogated, leading security agencies to their alleged hideouts in the Sikramba forests of Kuchai and the Dalma forests above Asanbani village in Chandil. Intensive searches carried out at these locations resulted in the recovery of a substantial arms cache. Police said the seized weapons include two .303 rifles, one country-made pistol, one INSAS 5.56 mm rifle and one SLR 7.62 mm rifle. Security forces also recovered three SLR magazines, four INSAS magazines, three .303 rifle magazines and two magazines for a 9 mm pistol. The ammunition recovered comprised 171 rounds of 7.62 mm cartridges, 126 rounds of 5.56 mm cartridges, 12 rounds of 9 mm ammunition and eight .303 cartridges, taking the total number of cartridges seized to 317. During the operation, personnel also found an IED and a detonator concealed in the forest. A bomb disposal squad was immediately rushed to the spot, and the explosive device was safely defused. The operation involved personnel of the Seraikela-Kharsawan district police and the 26th Battalion of the SSB, Ranchi. Police teams from Kuchai, Chandil, Nimdih and Seraikela police stations also participated in the search operation.

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.

'Healthy competition' helps Tanya Chaudhary set national record in hammer throw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A healthy competition with fellow trainee Anushka Yadav proved beneficial for Tanya Chaudhary of Uttar Pradesh as he set the national record in women's hammer throw in the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi. It was like the fulfilment of a dream for Tanya, and the fact that she set a new mark just before the upcoming Asian Games was like icing on the cake as the 22-year-old took the spotlight on the opening day of the meet on Thursday. Day One of the prize-money meet saw two national records being set in the hammer throw, with Tanya achieving the feat that she has been chasing for the past three years. Tanya achieved her quest by improving the national record in the womens hammer throw as she hurled the iron ball to a distance of 68.35m, improving the national record of 65.25m, which was set by Sarita Singh in 2017. My previous personal best is 63.91m. I have done 65m-plus two or three times (at the inter-university level), but those were not official. Now, I am able to do it (break the national record). It is a new beginning, she said. Normally, I used to be nervous. But I was focused on my technique today. Tanya, who trains along with Anushka at the same ground at Bhagpat in Uttar Pradesh under different coaches, said the healthy competition helped her move forward. We both are from the same ground. So, there is healthy competition between us. So, it is good for both of us to move forward. Though Tanya could not breach the Asian Games qualifying mark, she has made it to the team for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya in Japan and is looking forward to continuing the momentum in Japan. It was because of injury. Now I feel I will do better. I had multiple injuries at the same time: a hamstring injury and a stress injury in the femur bone. The injuries were going on since January. In the men's section, Delhis Nirbhay Choudhary recorded a throw of 71.02m, which was better than the previous national record of 70.73m set by Neeraj Kumar in 2016. The other major attraction for Indian athletics fans was the successful return to action by Avinash Sable in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Sable, representing Maharashtra, won the steeplechase in a time of 8 minutes 32.39 seconds in his first race in the distance in more than a year. Spotlight was also on 400m runners as the top six finishers in the mens race clocked below 46 seconds. Top three in the womens 400m race also dipped below 53 seconds. I will do better and win a medal at the Japan Asian Games, said Vishal TK, winner of the gold medal and national 400m record holder, in the post-race interaction. Maharashtras promising sprinter Harita Bhadra, winner of the womens 100m dash, said the Indian Athletics Series Final was good preparation for the Asian Games. It was a good experience for me to race in the 100m dash with the top sprinters, Harita added. Odishas Animesh Kujur won both the 100m and 200m dash in the mens section. Results: Men: 100m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 10.21 seconds, Gurindervir Singh (Punjab) 10.32 seconds, Rushiprasad Desai (Maharashtra) 10.33 seconds. 200m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 20.59 secs, Jishnu Prasad (Kerala) 20.63 secs, Abhay Singh (Madhya Pradesh) 21.04 secs. 400m: Vishal TK (Tamil Nadu) 45.36 seconds, Jay Kumar (Uttar Pradesh) 45.50 seconds, Manu TS (Kerala) 45.68 seconds. 800m: Mohammed Afsal (Kerala) 1:46.40 secs, Prakash Gadade (Maharashtra) 1:46.56 secs, Krishan Kumar (Haryana) 1:46.73 secs. 1500m: Rahul Baloda (Rajasthan) 3:39.89 secs, Yoonus Shah (Uttar Pradesh) 3:40.37 secs, Sunil Dawar (Madhya Pradesh) 3:43.68 secs. 110m hurdles: Krishik M (Karnataka) 13.65 secs, Muhammed Lazan (Kerala) 13.84 secs, Manav R (Tamil Nadu) 13.85 secs. 400m hurdles: Santhosh Kumar (Tamil Nadu) 50.08 secs, Ruchit Mori (Gujarat) 50.61 secs, Subhas Das (West Bengal) 50.73 secs. 3,000m steeplechase: Avinash Sable (Maharashtra) 3:32.39.

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.

Jharkhand HC seeks responses from ISPs over internet disruptions in Ranchi
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 10 (IANS) Taking a serious view of the disruption of internet services in several areas of Ranchi during a drive to remove the web of internet and cable wires from electricity poles, the Jharkhand High Court has sought responses from all internet service providers and directed the immediate restoration of affected connections. Hearing a public interest litigation registered suo motu on Thursday, a division bench of Chief Justice M.S. Sonak and Justice Rajesh Shankar asked the service providers to furnish details on the dates when connections were disconnected, the areas affected, the number of connections severed, and the number of services restored so far. The bench also directed them to submit a compliance report after restoring the disrupted services. During the hearing on Thursday, senior officials of the Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd (JBVNL), including CMD Srinivasan, along with representatives of BSNL, Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, appeared before the court in person. The bench sought a status report from all telecom operators regarding the disruption and restoration of internet services.

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.
