Violence Erupts at Punjab's LPU As Students Protest Over Alleged Rape Case, Police File FIR

Students of Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjabs Phagwara staged a protest early Sunday over the alleged rape of a female student by an outsider on the university campus. The protest turned violent, with students damaging campus property, setting some objects on fire and blocking the Jalandhar-Phagwara National Highway. Police registered an FIR on rape charges against an unknown suspect based on students statements. DIG Jalandhar Range Naveen Singla said police were verifying the facts and announced an SIT to investigate the matter. LPU, however, said there was no truth in the rumours presently being circulated and urged people not to amplify them. The blockade caused major traffic disruption, while students also raised demands over hostel functioning and security.

1st ODI: No Siraj, Dhir handed debut cap as India opt to bowl against West Indies

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 27 (IANS) Naman Dhir has been handed his international debut as India won the toss and elected to bowl first against the West Indies in the ODI series opener at the Greenfield International Stadium on Sunday. Dhir comes on the back of being the leading run-getter in Sher-e-Punjab T20 competition by amassing 655 runs at an astronomical strike rate of 217.61. The game will see India and West Indies launch their 2027 Mens ODI World Cup preparations, with both teams at very different stages. India are building up to the competition by sticking with a familiar lineup, including the heavily discussed pair of veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In contrast, the West Indies arrive to finetune their combination, even as they stare down yet another tough path of entering the showpiece event via the Qualifiers. After winning the toss, India captain Shubman Gill said the hosts are going with four bowlers, and have spin options in Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Dhir, though Mohammed Siraj is a notable omission. Its a decent surface, ball will come on better under the lights, and we'd like to chase here. We've got a good combination of four bowlers and two allrounders. Twenty-odd matches to go before the World Cup starts, time to see which combination suits us the best and give them the time we need. The preparation's been good. The weather's been a little bit up and down, raining here and there, but still I think the preparation has been pretty good, Gill said. West Indies skipper Shai Hope said they are going with three seamers and two spinners, while John Campbell makes a return after recovering from a surgery. Quick turnaround: different to the CPL. We want to play against the best teams in the world. Guys looking forward to playing against India. We got to make sure we have a big score on the board. I hope we can finish well with the ball. This city is the closest thing to the Caribbean, he said. Playing XIs India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (c), Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (wk), Naman Dhir, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Gurnoor Brar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Prasidh Krishna West Indies: John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c & wk), Amir Jangoo, Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, and Jayden Seales

Consumers brace for 3-day bank strike; certain banks open on Sunday

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) State Bank of India (SBI), Bank of Baroda (BoB), Punjab National Bank (PNB) and several other public sector banks are open on Sunday (September 27), giving customers an opportunity to complete their banking work before a proposed three-day nationwide bank strike from September 28 to September 30. The special Sunday opening applies to public sector banks (PSBs) and regional rural banks (RRBs), following a direction aimed at ensuring the availability of regular banking services ahead of the proposed strike. Customers who need to visit a branch for important banking work can therefore use the additional working day, subject to the operational arrangements and staffing at individual branches. The decision to open PSBs and RRBs on Sunday was taken following a meeting held on September 21 between officials from the Finance Ministry, public sector banks, regional rural banks, the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) and NABARD. The move assumes significance as September 26 and 27 fall on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. With the proposed bank strike scheduled immediately after the weekend, customers could otherwise have faced several consecutive days with limited access to physical branch services. The Sunday opening has consequently been planned to provide an additional opportunity to complete important banking transactions before the strike. Among the public sector banks operating today are State Bank of India, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, Indian Bank, Union Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, UCO Bank, Central Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank. The arrangement also covers 28 regional rural banks across the country. These include Andhra Pradesh Grameena Bank, Arunachal Pradesh Rural Bank, Assam Gramin Bank, Bihar Gramin Bank, Chhattisgarh Gramin Bank, Gujarat Gramin Bank, Haryana Gramin Bank, Himachal Pradesh Gramin Bank, Jammu and Kashmir Grameen Bank, Jharkhand Gramin Bank, Karnataka Grameena Bank, Kerala Grameena Bank, Madhya Pradesh Gramin Bank, Maharashtra Gramin Bank, Manipur Rural Bank, Meghalaya Rural Bank, Mizoram Rural Bank, Nagaland Rural Bank, Odisha Grameen Bank, Puducherry Grama Bank, Punjab Gramin Bank, Rajasthan Gramin Bank, Tamil Nadu Grama Bank, Telangana Grameena Bank, Tripura Gramin Bank, Uttar Pradesh Gramin Bank, Uttarakhand Gramin Bank and West Bengal Gramin Bank. However, the Sunday opening arrangement does not automatically extend to private sector banks. The special Sunday banking arrangement comes ahead of the proposed three-day nationwide strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) and other bank unions from September 28 to September 30.

Unrest in another private university of Punjab over 'rumours'; students block highway

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 27 (IANS) Hundreds of students at a private university on the outskirts of Punjabs Jalandhar protested late on Sunday over rumours circulating on social media that a student had been raped on campus by an outsider, damaging property, setting fires and blocking a national highway, officials and students said. Police had not confirmed any rape complaint at the time of filing this report, and there was no independent confirmation of the alleged assault. The unrest at Lovely Professional University (LPU) resulted in protesters blocking the Jalandhar-Phagwara section of the National Highway for several hours, while property on the university campus was damaged and some items were set on fire, the police said. The LPU denied the allegations being circulated on social media. There is no truth in the rumours currently being circulated, LPU Registrar Monica Gulati said in a statement. She urged students, parents and the public not to believe or amplify the rumours and to rely on information issued through official university channels. Gulati said the university has come to know that anti-social elements were spreading what she described as false and fabricated information through social media and other channels, creating confusion among students and disrupting the academic environment. She said the circulation of the information appeared to be a deliberate attempt to malign the university and tarnish its reputation. Students protesting on campus said they wanted the authorities to register a first information report (FIR) and investigate their concerns. Some protesters alleged that a sexual assault had taken place and accused the university authorities of refusing to accept it. The students also alleged that outsiders were involved in the vandalism. The incident was the second major student protest at a private university in Punjab in the last two days, following unrest at Chitkara University in Rajpura in Patiala district. Hundreds of students protested at Chitkara University on late Friday and early Saturday after unverified social media rumours claimed two female students were missing. The unrest escalated into clashes with police, vandalism of two police vehicles and property damage on the campus. Both incidents highlight the speed with which unverified information circulating online can trigger big student gatherings and disruption at university campuses. Authorities in both universities were continuing to assess the situation and verify the claims that have widely circulated on social media.

Hate slogans to gunfire: Concerns grow over escalating violence against Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan

Digital Desk | London, Sep 26 (IANS) A leading international human rights organisation on Saturday expressed grave concern over escalating violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan, saying Ahmadis continue to face discrimination, intimidation, restrictions on their religious practices and hate campaigns across the country. Highlighting the atrocities against Ahmadis, the UK-based International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) said that an Ahmadi father and his son were shot by unidentified assailants in Sargodha city of Pakistans Punjab province. It said that during the attack on the late evening of September 19, the father sustained three to four gunshot wounds, including serious injuries to his jaw and neck area, while his son suffered a gunshot injury to his arm. The rights body noted that the shooting came against the backdrop of an increasingly hostile environment for the community, including an anti-Ahmadi propaganda campaign documented across Sargodha. It stated that earlier in September, banners and posters carrying openly hostile anti-Ahmadi messaging were reported and documented in public spaces across the city, including material bearing slogans such as We Hate Qadianiat (a religious slur). The IHRC warned that widespread public display of such rhetoric was fueling an increasingly hostile environment for an already vulnerable religious community. The sequence of events in Sargodha is deeply concerning. Public anti-Ahmadi propaganda has appeared across the city. Members of the community have reportedly faced threats. Now an Ahmadi father and son have been shot while returning home. These developments require an urgent and effective response from the authorities, the rights body stated. When inflammatory rhetoric and threats against a religious community are allowed to proliferate without effective intervention, there is a serious risk that an already hostile environment will deteriorate further. No individual should have to fear being attacked because of their religious identity, it added. The IHRC called on the government of Pakistan to ensure effective protection for Ahmadis facing credible threats and uphold the fundamental rights and security of all citizens irrespective of religion or belief. It further urged the United Nations, international human rights mechanisms, diplomatic missions and international civil society organisations to closely monitor the deteriorating situation facing Ahmadis in Pakistan and raise these incidents with the Pakistani authorities. Stressing that events unfolding in Sargodha demand urgent attention, the rights body said, A community should not have to wait for further bloodshed before credible threats and incitement to violence are taken seriously.

IFA Shield: Punjab FC eye strong start under Dermitzakis in opener against Calcutta Customs

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) Punjab FC will start their campaign in IFA Shield 2026-27 against Calcutta Customs Club at Barasat Stadium near Kolkata on Sunday, hoping to make a good start after refurbishing the squad for the upcoming season. The Group II encounter marks the beginning of a new competitive season for the Shers and their first-ever campaign in the historic IFA Shield. The match serves as the first official outing for newly appointed head coach Pavlos Dermitzakis. The Greek tactician has named a revamped 24-member squad for the tournament, featuring a balanced mix of youth, established domestic talent, and key international acquisitions. The foreign contingent, comprising European-experienced defender Patrick Gerard Bahanack alongside newly acquired attackers Diego Raposo, Alfred Planas Moya, and Raphael Messi Bouli, is expected to add strength, pace, and finishing prowess to the lineup. To ensure tactical discipline against the local challengers, Punjab FC will rely on a robust domestic core. Goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh assures the back, supported by the defensive grit of Muhammed Uvais, Bishu Sharma, and Suresh Meitei. In the centre of the park, Nikhil Prabhu and Khaiminthang Lhungdim are expected to play pivotal roles in orchestrating play and anchoring transitions. The roster also underscores the clubs commitment to youth development, featuring several breakout talents from the Roundglass Football Academy. Graduates such as Manglenthang Kipgen, Muhammad Suhail, Arshvir Singh, and Ayush Deshwal have been integrated into the first team, providing the young athletes a vital platform to showcase their progression from the grassroots to the professional stage. Calcutta Customs, on the other hand, will start as underdogs after their 3-1 loss against the current ISL champions East Bengal FC. Although they drew first blood through an early strike by Riki Gharami in the 12th minute on a difficult, muddy pitch affected by stormy weather, they were comprehensively outplayed by the Red & Gold Brigade. Speaking ahead of his managerial debut, Dermitzakis said, We are very excited to begin our IFA Shield campaign. This historic tournament gives us a fantastic opportunity to evaluate our revamped squad in a highly competitive environment early in the season. We have built a formidable mix of experienced international players, established domestic leaders, and talented young boys from our Roundglass Academy. Calcutta Customs is a resilient side that knows the local conditions very well, but our focus remains on executing our tactical patterns, maintaining our discipline, and starting the group stage with a positive result, he added. Securing three points in Sunday's opener will be essential for Punjab FC to build momentum before they face local heavyweights East Bengal FC in their second group-stage fixture on September 30.

Couldn't Process It For 10 Minutes Dhir Recalls Seeing His Name In India ODI Squad

ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup: When Naman Dhir first saw a congratulatory message on social media after he got his maiden India call-up for the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies, he casually dismissed it as spam. But when he finally opened the official team announcement post, the Faridkot-based Dhir froze in disbelief and needed ten minutes just to comprehend that his lifelong dream had finally come true. Our Sher-e-Punjab tournament in Punjab was over, so I was there. Actually, I had no idea that there would be a call-up or anything like that. So I got a message on Instagram congratulating me. I ignored it; I thought it might be something else. But I opened that post, and after that, when I saw my name, I couldn't process it for 10 minutes. I mean, I've been selected here. But yes, it was a surreal feeling. First of all, I called my father; he was very happy. He had a lot of emotions coming out, Dhir said in a video posted by the BCCI on its social media handles on Saturday. Dhirs path to the national dressing room has been defined by a never-give-up attitude. After representing Punjab at the U-16 level, he endured nearly seven years of complete oblivion, finding himself off the radar before a breakthrough season in the U-25 tournament reignited his career, leading to a Ranji Trophy debut and subsequently an IPL contract with Mumbai Indians. Every kid who starts playing cricket has a dream to represent India, and to play a match for India. So, I guess for me, it's still a dream come true. I feel like I'm living my dream. The old Naman was quitting at one point, but the new Naman will say that you should keep working hard with a pure heart. If you're honest with your work and your hard work, you'll get a 100 percent result. I represented Punjab in the U-16s. After that, I didn't play anything for 6-7 years, till U-25s. After that, I got a breakthrough and scored runs in the U-25s, and then I was called up for the Ranji Trophy. Then IPL came, and that's when my journey started. So, those 6-7 years were tough, but as I said, if you're honest with your work and your hard work, you'll get a 100 percent result, he added. First making heads turn during his maiden IPL stint in 2024 with a blistering 28-ball 62 against Lucknow Super Giants, Dhir soon established himself as a potent middle-order striking option. His steady progression through the India A setup in 2025, including the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup, kept him firmly on the selectors' radar. However, the definitive push for a national call-up came during the recently concluded Sher-e-Punjab T20 tournament. Dhir amassed 655 runs at an astronomical strike rate of 217.61, powered by 49 boundaries and as many sixes. The centrepiece of that campaign was a jaw-dropping 173 off just 64 balls. Eight days later, the India call-up arrived, right after he had also been named in the India A squad for the one-dayers against Australia A in Puducherry. However, the definitive push for a national call-up came during the recently concluded Sher-e-Punjab T20 tournament. Dhir amassed 655 runs at an astronomical strike rate of 217.61, powered by 49 boundaries and as many sixes. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories With selectors slating him for a dynamic middle-order role in the series, Dhir is focused on soaking in the moment. Getting the India cap, I don't know how I'll feel then. But right now, what I'm thinking is that I want to enjoy this moment to the fullest because I've waited my whole life for this moment. As far as I'm concerned, I'll give more than 100 percent, but I want to enjoy it even more, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Punjab: Congress asks CM Mann to vacate ministerial houses from illegal occupants

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 26 (IANS) Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Saturday asked Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to get all ministerial houses vacated from illegal occupants. He also demanded that the government charge penal rent from the occupants, as had been done in previous cases. Warring criticised Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Gayatri Bishnoi for using foul language against Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, saying such abuse was unacceptable and Punjabis would neither forget nor forgive it. He held Mann responsible, alleging that the Chief Minister had surrendered before his Delhi bosses and was acting as a mute spectator. Who has allowed and authorised such people to occupy the ministerial houses, while the ministers in whose names these houses have been allotted are forced to stay outside? Warring asked. He referred to the allotment of a house in Chandigarh to then AAP MP Raghav Chadha, who has since joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Warring also alleged misuse of Punjab Police personnel and vehicles during Chadhas wedding in Udaipur, claiming public money was squandered. He further said Chadha had been allotted a palatial house in Chandigarh and an entire floor in Punjab Bhawan, New Delhi, exclusively for his use. Warring alleged that ministerial suites were allotted to personal assistants of AAP leaders. At the same time, other rooms in Punjab Bhawan were given to AAP workers from different states during campaigning in Delhi. The Congress leader questioned under what rules Gayatri Bishnoi and her parents had been allotted a ministerial house in Chandigarh. Even if this has been allotted for the treatment of her father, how many people from Punjab who come for treatment to Chandigarh are allotted such houses? he asked. Directing his criticism at CM Mann, Warring said, Did the people of Punjab elect you for this, that Punjabs ministers are not allowed to stay in their allotted houses and outsiders are allowed to occupy them? He added that Kapurthala House and Nabha House in New Delhi, as well as Circuit Houses, were being misused. This is not misuse, but complete abuse, and this has never happened before in Punjab, Warring remarked.

Earlier, Rahatkar visited Hussainiwala Border in Punjabs Ferozepur. In a message on X, she said, My visit to Hussainiwala Border, Ferozepur (Punjab) was not just a trip for me, but an unforgettable experience of pride and gratitude toward the nation. When I reached the Hussainiwala border and saw that the border of another country was just a few steps away, a deep feeling stirred in my heartthat our citizens are so secure because our border guardians are protecting the country with such vigilance and dedication, she said. After a visit to the National Martyrs Memorial, she wrote, The visit to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala was an extremely emotional experience for me. On this sacred land, the echoes of the sacrifice of martyrs Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev can still be felt today. Seeing their letters and documents preserved in the museum deeply touched my heart. In these letters, the indomitable courage of those three young revolutionaries and their resolve to dedicate their lives to the nation are evident. The youth of today should draw inspiration from this selfless patriotism and play their role in building the country, she said. Visiting the samadhi of Martyr Bhagat Singh's mother, Vidyavati Ji, was a particularly poignant moment for me. For a mother, losing her child is the greatest sorrow, and perhaps the greatest pride could be that her son devoted his life to the nation. Expressing that maternal pain and maternal pride in words is difficult, said Rahatkar.

Sunil Jakhar accuses Punjab govt of taking credit for Centre schemes

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 26 (IANS) Former Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Sunil Jakhar on Saturday accused the Bhagwant Mannled government of trying to conceal its alleged financial mismanagement by taking credit for a Union government scheme and spending public money on advertisements. Addressing the media, Jakhar referred to newspaper advertisements publicising a Rs 750crore scheme for villages with a substantial Scheduled Caste population. He said the advertisements falsely portrayed the scheme as a state government achievement. Jakhar claimed that the funds were being provided under the Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY), which he described as a 100 per cent centrally funded scheme. According to him, the Union government bears the entire cost, with no financial contribution required from the Punjab government. He said the scheme has been operated in its current form since 202021 and provides development grants to villages where Scheduled Castes account for more than 40 per cent of the population. The Union government had identified 3,763 villages in Punjab for the scheme. Funds had already been released for 1,200 villages, and the remaining villages were expected to receive funds shortly. Displaying large newspaper advertisements carrying Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns photograph, Jakhar accused the state government of using public funds to claim credit for a centrally funded programme. He alleged the government had undertaken no comparable initiative of its own for village development and instead promoted its image through advertisements. Jakhar demanded an immediate apology from the state government. He also said the BJP would examine whether previously released funds had reached the intended villages or whether any money had been diverted to advertising before reaching beneficiaries. Jakhar criticised the state governments Mawan Dhian Satkar Yojana, saying the programme had failed to address the concerns of women from families affected by drugrelated deaths. He alleged that mothers and daughters were approaching the government seeking justice for sons and brothers who had died because of drugs, but were instead being offered Rs 1,000. He claimed the government was humiliating rather than respecting the women and suggested renaming the scheme Mawan Dhian Tiraskar Yojana, or the Disrespect for Mothers and Daughters Scheme. On the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Jakhar accused the Congress and AAP of staging protests for publicity rather than using the formal process available to voters. He questioned why the two parties were holding demonstrations instead of filing objections with the Election Commission if they believed legitimate voters had been removed from the rolls.

Pushkar Dhami attacks AAP govt over drug menace, vows Rising Punjab

Digital Desk | Mukerian, Sep 26 (IANS) Launching a sharp attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over the drug menace, Uttarakhand Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday accused the state of pushing Punjab into a deepening crisis and vowed to rebuild a rising, developed, safe, healthy and drugfree Punjab. Addressing public gatherings during the BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra in Dasuha, Urmar and Mukerian, Dhami said Punjabs lost pride and glory would be restored. He alleged that the AAP government had completely ruined Punjab by pushing the state into the fire of drugs, turning a once prosperous Punjab into Udta Punjab. Dhami said the BJPs vision was to build an Ubharda Punjab (Rising Punjab), one that is developed, secure, healthy and free from drugs. Stepping up his attack on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, he alleged that drug peddlers had been given a free hand while those questioning the government were being harassed. This is a murderous government, he said, invoking Punjabs traditional message of Sarbat Da Bhala (welfare of all). He also cited court observations while alleging that the state government and police had failed to act effectively against drug peddlers. Dhami said the drug crisis was evidence of the governments failure to protect Punjabs youth. He sought to portray the BJPs campaign as a movement focused on youth rather than electoral politics. This is not a yatra to seek votes. It is a yatra to restore Punjabs lost pride and glory and to save the young children of mothers, he said. Dhami claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a guarantee to make Punjab drugfree. Former Union Minister Som Prakash alleged that the drug supply had reached households across Punjab. He said Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal had promised to eliminate drugs within three months, but claimed that fourandahalf years had passed without results. Prakash said people had now realised that the BJP was the party capable of eliminating the drug menace. Mukerian BJP MLA Jangi Lal Mahajan said PM Modi had a record of delivering on commitments. He said Modi had resolved to eliminate drugs and claimed that a complete roadmap had been prepared for the task. Mahajan urged the public to support the anti-drug campaign.
