'Nehru's Blunder: Nishikant Dubey Calls For Reclaiming Chittagong, Sylhet, Noakhali From Bangladesh

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has called for reclaiming Chittagong, Noakhali and Sylhet, territories now part of Bangladesh, claiming they historically belonged to the erstwhile Tipra Kingdom. His remarks have received support from Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma, who described their separation during Partition as a historical and strategic mistake. Dubey alleged that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru handed over these territories to Pakistan without the consent of Tripura's Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya. He also referred to the 1946 Noakhali violence and made claims about the deaths of Hindus. Both leaders highlighted the loss of sea access, with Dubey linking it to the Northeast's strategic concerns and the importance of the Siliguri Corridor, popularly known as the Chicken's Neck.

18 arrested in Tripura over attack on BSF personnel near Bangladesh border

Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 6 (IANS) The total number of people so far arrested in connection with the brutal attack on Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in Tripuras Sepahijala district has risen to 18, including three women, following the arrest of eight more accused, police officials said on Friday. A senior police official said the fresh eight arrests were made from different parts of Sepahijala district on Thursday night and early Friday morning in connection with the November 2 incident at Ashabari village, under Kalamchaura police station, along the India-Bangladesh international border. An intensive search operation, launched immediately after the attack on BSF personnel on November 2, was still underway to apprehend the remaining accused, the official told IANS. All the 18 accused have been booked under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984. The eight newly arrested persons would be produced before a local court in Sepahijala district at the earliest, the official said. The first 10 accused arrested in the case were earlier produced before a court. Following the courts orders, the male accused were remanded to police custody, while the women were sent to judicial custody. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Manik Saha, who had strongly condemned the attack and directed the authorities to take stringent action against those involved, chaired a high-level meeting with senior security officials on Thursday night to review the incident and the overall law and order situation. In a post on X, CM Saha said he chaired the meeting at the TIFT Conference Hall in Agartala in the presence of senior officials from the state administration, police, BSF, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Assam Rifles. He said the Ashabari incident was also reviewed, and the authorities were directed to ensure strict legal action against those involved, adopt zero tolerance towards cross-border smuggling and strengthen security measures to maintain peace and law and order. According to police, the incident occurred on November 2 when BSF personnel intercepted a group of alleged smugglers attempting to smuggle ganja (cannabis) across the India-Bangladesh border. Subsequently, the BSF personnel were reportedly surrounded and attacked by a mob of around 50 men and women, leaving three personnel, including a Company Commander, grievously injured. The attackers also allegedly snatched a pump-action gun (PAG) from one of the BSF personnel and damaged a BSF vehicle. One of the alleged attackers was also injured in the incident. There have been several instances of attacks on BSF and other security personnel by suspected cross-border smugglers in Tripura. On October 16, 2017, a vehicle allegedly driven by smugglers ran over Deepak Kumar Mandal, Deputy Commandant of the BSF's 145th Battalion, at Balerdepha in the smuggling-prone Sonamura subdivision of Sepahijala district. Mandal, a resident of West Bengal, succumbed to his injuries on October 20, 2017. In another incident, Tripura Police Sub-Inspector Durga Kumar Hrangkhawl was killed on duty on November 21, 2019, after a vehicle allegedly operated by cross-border smuggling mafias deliberately ran him over in the same district. These incidents underline the serious risks faced by security and law-enforcement personnel while tackling organised cross-border smuggling activities in the district. Tripura shares an 856-km-long international border with Bangladesh and is surrounded by the neighbouring country on three sides. The state's geographical location makes it particularly vulnerable to cross-border smuggling, illegal movement and other transnational crimes. Except for a few stretches, most parts of the international border have been fenced to prevent smuggling, illegal crossings and the movement of criminal and other inimical elements.

18 Arrested In Tripura BSF Attack Case

Eight more people have been arrested in Tripura's Sepahijala district for allegedly attacking BSF personnel, bringing the total arrests to 18. Three BSF personnel, including an assistant commandant, were injured in the Monday incident near the Ashabari border outpost, which occurred after villagers protested the detention of a smuggling suspect. Chief Minister Manik Saha has directed strict legal action and strengthened security measures.

Ranji Trophy: Tripura stun Saurashtra; Mumbai get fourth win, Hyderabad edge Chhattisgarh

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Tripura pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the 2026/27 Ranji Trophy by defeating former champions Saurashtra by 133 runs on the final day of their Elite Group B clash. Set 342 to win, Saurashtra were undone once again by off-spinner Sandip Sarkar. He followed his first-innings figures of 4-48 with 4-81, and finished with eight wickets in the match. Arpit Vasavada made 89, the only half-century of the second innings for Saurashtra, and was the last man to be dismissed after he was run out by Manisankar Murasingh to seal a famous win for Tripura in Agartala. Sridam Paul was named Player of the Match for scores of 86 and 50. At the Brabourne Stadium, 42-time champions Mumbai beat Railways by 106 runs to get their fourth straight outright win of the season. Mumbai had to wait until the final session to clinch the victory. Railways were 250/5 at the last drinks break and seemed set to escape with a draw. Eshaan Goyal and Zubair Ali had rebuilt the innings from 83/5 in the 31st over with a 167-run sixth-wicket stand. But on the very first ball after drinks, Goyal attempted a paddle sweep off Musheer Khan, and Musheers brother Sarfaraz, anticipating the shot from first slip, moved swiftly towards leg slip to take the catch. A couple of overs later, Musheer had Ali caught at long-off. Raj Choudhary and Himanshu Sangwan dug in for a while in an attempt to take Railways to a draw. But Tanush Kotian removed Choudhary, and Musheer came back to dismiss Sangwan and wrap up the win for Mumbai, as Railways lost their last five wickets for 15 runs. Elsewhere, Hyderabad scraped home by one wicket against Chhattisgarh in a nail-biting chase of 259 at the Gymkhana Ground. At 220/9, Hyderabad looked beaten, but a 39-run last-wicket stand off 104 balls turned the game, and Rakshann Readdi finished it with a six over long-off. The win also took Hyderabad to the top of the Group B table with 20 points. At the Eden Gardens, Maharashtra thrashed Bengal by 10 wickets in an Elite Group C clash. Bad light had cut into play on three days, but Maharashtra still had time to secure a bonus point. Pradeep Dhade and Hitesh Walunj took four wickets each on day for as Bengal were bowled out for 186 in their second innings, leaving Maharashtra a target of 112 to chase. Openers Sachin Dhas and Prithvi Shaw knocked it off in just 19.4 overs. While Dhas was unbeaten on 61 off 68 balls with 10 fours, and reached his fifty in 43 deliveries, Shaw made an unbeaten 53 off 50 balls, laced with three fours and four sixes, and got his half-century in 47 balls. It was Maharashtras biggest win of the season and their second outright victory. The seven points took them to 19, past previous leaders Bengal, who suffered their first defeat of the season. In Ahmedabad, Gujarat crushed Kerala by an innings and 58 runs to get a bonus-point victory. Urvil Patels unbeaten 210 set up the win, while Arzan Nagwaswalla finished with match figures of 8-83, including 4-24 on the last day, as Kerala were bowled out for 197 after being made to follow on. Tamil Nadu needed three wickets on the final day, and Ajith Ram took them all, finishing with 7-48 to seal the win over Chandigarh. At the Air Force Complex Ground in Palam, Yash Dhulls first hundred of the season helped Delhi hold on for a draw against Services and take three points due to taking a first-innings lead. Chasing 320, Delhi slipped to 119/4 just before tea when Nitin Tanwar removed Ayush Doseja for 14. But Dhull stood firm and finished unbeaten on 104 off 104 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes. He reached his century off 102 deliveries, shortly before the teams shook hands with Delhi, ending on 168/4 after 38 overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal completed a century in each innings, while ex-Delhi player Mohit Ahlawat made 142 as Services declared their second innings at 397/9. Elsewhere, several games ended in draws. Uttar Pradesh made 492, built on Adarsh Singhs 162 and Madhav Kaushiks 137, and Prashant Veer took 3-42, but they could not get a win over Baroda in Kanpur. Jammu and Kashmir piled up 555/6 and took a 170-run first-innings lead over Pondicherry, who batted out the game thanks to Ankit Sharmas 62 in Srinagar. Andhra replied to Punjabs 592/9 with 505/8 to secure a draw. Shaik Rasheed made 176, while Karan Shinde fell four runs short of a hundred. Rain cost Jharkhand plenty of overs against Odisha, who reached 280/7 on the final day as the match was drawn. Pukhraj Manns unbeaten 153 on the final day saved the game for Himachal Pradesh against Rajasthan. All three Plate Group matches produced results. Satyajeet Bachhav followed his first-innings 6-50 with figures of 7-33 as Sikkim beat Manipur by 201 runs. Nagaland bowled out Meghalaya for 172 in the second innings to win by 122 runs. Mizoram beat Arunachal Pradesh by an innings and 29 runs, with Chinmay Sutar making 175 and Bobby Zothansanga taking five wickets in the second innings.

ED raids 13 locations across three states, including Tripura, over Rs 14.55-crore tender scam

Guwahati: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted search and seizure operations at 13 locations across Tripura, West Bengal and Maharashtra in connection with an alleged fake government tender racket that reportedly defrauded a Nagpur-based company of approximately Rs 14.55 crore. The searches were carried out on November 4 by the EDs Agartala Sub-Zonal Office under [] The post ED raids 13 locations across three states, including Tripura, over Rs 14.55-crore tender scam appeared first on NorthEast Now .

Supreme Court Ends Detention-Arrest Distinction, Says 24-Hour Clock Starts When Liberty Is Curtailed

The Supreme Court has ruled that the mandatory 24-hour period for producing a detained person before a magistrate begins from the moment their personal liberty is curtailed, not when the arrest is formally recorded. Rejecting any artificial distinction between detention and arrest, the bench said investigating agencies cannot create a buffer period to delay constitutional safeguards under Article 22(2). The ruling came in an NDPS case involving four accused in Tripura, whose immediate release was ordered over a violation of the 24-hour limit. The court also directed magistrates to record the exact time a person's liberty is restricted and verify compliance, stressing that constitutional protections cannot be diluted through procedural delays.

ED raids 13 premises in Tripura, Bengal and Maharashtra over alleged fake govt tender racket

Digital Desk | New Delhi/Agartala, Nov 5 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted search and seizure operations at 13 premises across Tripura, West Bengal and Maharashtra in connection with an alleged fake government tender racket operated through a fictitious entity named the 'Directorate of Higher Education'. The central probe agency said on Thursday that the searches were carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, targeting individuals and entities allegedly linked to the racket. The searches were conducted by the ED's Agartala Sub-Zonal office on Wednesday, in connection with an ongoing money-laundering investigation arising from FIR registered at Capital Complex Police station in Agartala, the probe agency said in a statement. It said that the FIR was registered on the complaint of Nagpur based M/s S.K. Sales Corporation, against Abhishek Chandra, a Tripura cadre IAS officer, and co-conspirators, alleging that the firm was fraudulently induced to pay Earnest Money Deposits (EMDs) of around Rs 14.55 crore between September 2024 and February 2025 against purported tenders of the of Tripura government in the mid-day meal and power sectors, which were never floated. The offences registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, relating to criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, cheating by personation and forgery, are scheduled offences under the PMLA, 2002. Accordingly, the ED recorded an ECIR (Enforcement Case Information Report) and initiated investigation under the PMLA, 2002. Investigation has revealed that Abhishek Chandra (presently under suspension) represented himself as the officer controlling tender processes in the Tripura government and introduced the complainant to one Utpal Kumar Chowdhury as the official responsible for processing payments. The EMDs were paid through demand drafts in favour of 'Directorate of Higher Education', which was, in fact, a proprietary concern of Utpal Kumar Chowdhury bearing a name deceptively similar to the genuine government department. Forged tender notices and work orders were allegedly used, and a joint venture with Krishna Chakraborty, represented by her husband Sudip Paul, was used to structure the collection of funds. Partial 'refunds' were made at critical junctures to sustain the confidence of the victim and induce further payments. The ED said that the funds credited into the fictitious entity's accounts were allegedly layered within days, and in some instances within 24 hours, through a network of shell entities, several of which are registered in the names of domestic staff and associates of Utpal Kumar Chowdhury. The proceeds of crime were allegedly utilised for acquisition of immovable properties, including flats in a housing project and a residential property in Mumbai's Shivaji Park in the names of family members of Abhishek Chandra, as well as for foreign travel and luxury goods. Funds were also allegedly routed through an alleged hawala conduit based in Kolkata. The ED is already investigating Utpal Kumar Chowdhury and others, arising out of five FIRs registered in West Bengal and Tripura, wherein the same fictitious entity and modus operandi were used to defraud multiple victims of an aggregate amount exceeding Rs 44 crore. In that case, provisional attachment orders on January 22, 2026 and July 31, 2026, have already been issued. The search proceedings were conducted in the residential premises of Abhishek Chandra and hawala operators and also in the office premises of several companies/entities connected to the money trail, the ED statement said. During the course of search proceedings, voluminous documentary evidences of hawala transactions, several high value property details and other evidences indicating suspicious control over corporate entities were found and seized. Digital devices and records belonging to various accused persons crucial to the current investigation were also seized. Further investigation is underway.

24-hour deadline to produce accused before Magistrate runs from actual detention, not formal arrest: SC

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The Supreme Court has ruled that the 24-hour constitutional deadline for producing an arrested person before a Magistrate begins from the moment of actual detention, when the person's liberty is curtailed, and not from the time of formal arrest recorded by the police. The judgment came on appeals filed by four persons challenging a Tripura High Court decision denying them bail in a case registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. A Bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Atul S. Chandurkar held that the period of 24 hours prescribed under Article 22(2) of the Constitution must be calculated from the date and time when a person is actually detained, and not from the time when the investigating agency formally records the arrest. Article 22(2) mandates that every person arrested and detained in custody must be produced before the nearest Magistrate within 24 hours of arrest, excluding the time necessary for the journey from the place of arrest to the court. It further prohibits detention beyond this period without the authority of a Magistrate. Rejecting the distinction between detention and formal arrest for computing the constitutional deadline, the Justice Bhuyan-led Bench said that treating the period of 24 hours as commencing only after the completion of search and seizure and from the time of arrest formally recorded by the arresting authority was ot only unsustainable in law but is entirely unconstitutional. The Supreme Court further clarified that if a person's detention continues beyond 24 hours without production before a Magistrate, the person must be released forthwith. It said that while computing the period, no time can be excluded except that which is necessary for the journey from the place of arrest to the Magistrate's court. The Justice Bhuyan-led Bench also stressed that compliance with the 24-hour constitutional limit alone would not automatically justify detention, as the investigating agency must ensure that the period of custody remains reasonable under Section 58 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Section 58 of the BNSS provides that a police officer cannot detain a person arrested without a warrant for longer than is reasonable under the circumstances of the case, and, in the absence of a special order of a Magistrate, such detention cannot exceed 24 hours, excluding the necessary journey time. The apex court said that a Magistrate, at the time of production of an accused, is duty-bound to record the actual date and time when the person's liberty was curtailed and independently examine whether the constitutional deadline has been complied with. It further held that even where the detention is within the 24-hour period, the Magistrate must examine whether the duration of custody was reasonable in the circumstances of the case. If the Magistrate finds that the detention has exceeded a reasonable period, he may decline to authorise further remand. Setting aside the Tripura High Court's judgment, the Supreme Court directed that the appellants be released on bail, subject to conditions imposed by the Special Court.

All revenue courts in J&K now computerised

Srinagar, Nov 04: Making a significant stride under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), Jammu and Kashmir has achieved 100 per cent completion with 882 Computerised/Online Revenue Courts, while the computerisation of Records of Rights (RoR) has reached 99.93 per cent. According to the DILRMP MIS 4.0 dashboard, the Physical Components Progress Report for Jammu and Kashmir revealed that digitisation of Mapsheets/FMBs/Tippans has reached 94.74 per cent, indicating substantial progress in the modernisation and digitisation of land records across the Union Territory. However, the report reveals that three important components MRR Completed (Out of Sanctioned), Survey/Resurvey Completed and Aadhaar Linked With RoR have recorded zero progress. The national comparison chart on Computerisation of Land Records (CLR) shows that several states and Union Territories have achieved 100 per cent completion of villages, while Jammu and Kashmir is placed at 70.54 per cent. The chart also shows Mizoram at 71.27 per cent, Nagaland at 62.54 per cent, Ladakh at 52.21 per cent and Delhi at 27.31 per cent. Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya have recorded zero percent completion. Among the states and Union Territories, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Bihar, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have achieved 100 per cent completion. Odisha has recorded 99.91 per cent, Karnataka 99.74 per cent, Chhattisgarh 99.36 per cent, Punjab 99.36 per cent, Jharkhand 96.36 per cent, Rajasthan 92.40 per cent, Telangana 83.25 per cent and Uttarakhand 71.27 per cent. The component-wise figures for Jammu and Kashmir indicate that while computerisation of revenue courts and digitisation of existing land records have reached advanced stages, survey and resurvey, completion of MRR and Aadhaar linking with Records of Rights remain pending. The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), a Central Sector Scheme funded 100 per cent by the central government, aims to modernise the country's land records system through computerisation of land records, digitisation of maps, survey and resurvey activities and integration of land-related information.

Ahead of Tripura civic polls, three pistols, 50 rounds seized; two Bihar residents held

Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 4 (IANS) Tripura Police have arrested two persons from Bihar and seized three pistols, 50 rounds of ammunition and six magazines in Agartala on Wednesday, days ahead of the November 27 urban local body elections, officials said. A police official said that the arrests were made during a special operation near a Shiva temple close to Battala bridge following intelligence inputs about the suspected possession of illegal firearms. The official said the police team acted on a tip-off and detained the two suspects during the operation. Two mobile phones were also recovered. According to police, the seized pistols bear the inscription Made in Italy and appear to be factory-manufactured. Their authenticity and origin will be determined through forensic examination and further investigation, he said. The identities of the arrested persons have not been disclosed. Police have registered a case and are investigating the possible source and intended use of the firearms. The recovery comes amid heightened security preparations for the November 27 civic elections, which include polls to the Agartala Municipal Corporation. The investigation is underway to establish the full circumstances surrounding the recovery of the arms and ammunition and determine whether others were involved in the case. Meanwhile, the Tripura Police last week seized 200 rounds of live cartridges from a passenger-carrying vehicle during a naka checking operation at Maharani in Gomati district and arrested an arms trafficker in connection with the seizure. The official said that the vehicle, a Max, was travelling from Agartala towards Raishyabari in Dhalai district when it was intercepted by police near Maharani Police Outpost. According to the official, police stopped the vehicle during a routine checking operation and conducted a search, during which 200 rounds of live cartridges were recovered. One person, identified as Bimal Chakma alias Jayanta Lal Chakma, 37, was subsequently arrested in connection with the incident.

Congress-CPM differences cloud INDIA blocs prospects in Tripura civic polls

Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 4 (IANS) The prospects of the Congress and the CPI (M) contesting the November 27 civic elections in Tripura jointly under the INDIA bloc banner appear uncertain amid differences over seat-sharing and the unilateral announcement of candidates by the Left party. Congress Working Committee member Sudip Roy Barman criticised the CPI (M) for announcing its candidates on November 2 without holding proper discussions with the Congress, describing the move as an expression of arrogance and prejudice. Roy Barman, a former minister and a sitting MLA, said that the Congress was a century-old national party and could not be treated like the CPI (M)'s other Left partners, including the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), Forward Bloc, Communist Party of India (CPI) and CPI (ML). He expressed displeasure over the CPI (M)s unilateral decision to announce candidates without reaching an understanding with the Congress, indicating that such an approach could undermine the prospects of an electoral understanding between the two parties. The Congress also on Wednesday announced its candidates for all 51 seats in the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC). Meanwhile, CPI (M) Tripura state Secretary and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jitendra Chaudhury maintained that discussions with the Congress were still underway and that the possibility of a joint contest had not been ruled out. Chaudhury said that he had held discussions with Roy Barman and Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee President Asish Kumar Saha over seat-sharing arrangements. He said that the principal objective of the two parties was to prevent the BJP from gaining any political advantage in the forthcoming civic elections. Acknowledging that some candidates had already filed nomination papers separately, Chaudhury said that the discussions between the two parties would continue. He pointed out that November 6 was the last date for filing nomination papers, while November 10 was the deadline for withdrawal of nominations. Chaudhury expressed hope that the Congress and the CPI (M) would reach an understanding within the stipulated period and contest the elections jointly. The contrasting statements by the two alliance partners have, however, raised questions over the unity of the INDIA bloc in Tripura ahead of the crucial civic polls. Meanwhile, the ruling BJP, after obtaining approval from its central leadership in New Delhi, announced 45 candidates for the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) on Tuesday night, dropping sitting Mayor Dipak Majumder, who is also an MLA. The partys core committee has finalised candidates for the elections to all 21 civic bodies. So far, 45 candidates for the AMC have been cleared, while the names of the remaining six candidates will be announced shortly, Tripura BJP president Abhishek Debroy said. Debroy told the media that the party had decided not to renominate Majumder for the civic elections as he was currently representing the Ramnagar Assembly constituency in West Tripura district as an MLA. The BJP adheres to its core ideology of one leader, one post. An MLA has responsibilities towards the people of his constituency. The party will contest the elections highlighting the good work done by Majumder as the AMC Mayor, he said.

CTI welcomes SC's remark on protests, lists five demands to protect Delhi traders

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI), an apex body representing traders and entrepreneurs in Delhi, on Wednesday welcomed the Supreme Court's observation that 'occupation in the name of protest cannot be perpetual' and put forward five demands to protect traders and businesses from losses caused by protests and demonstrations. CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said the remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant had given voice to the concerns of nearly two million traders, five million employees and daily wage workers in Delhi. He said the court had rightly observed that the protest by one group should not deprive others of their rights. Goyal said CTI had consistently maintained over the past month that while everyone had the right to protest, others also had the right to conduct business and earn their livelihoods without disruption. Referring to Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's submission before the Supreme Court that Jantar Mantar remained occupied for 17 days despite permission being granted for only one day, Goyal said the development highlighted the concerns repeatedly raised by the traders' body. He claimed that the indefinite occupation of Jantar Mantar had caused business losses amounting to Rs 3,000 crore in Delhi. He also questioned who would compensate traders for the overall losses, which he claimed had reached Rs 14,000 crore. Welcoming the Supreme Court's observation, CTI put forward five demands before the Delhi Police and the government. First, CTI demanded that Central Delhi be declared a no-protest zone until Bhaiya Dooj on November 11. It further proposed that the 10 days of the Diwali festival be permanently designated as a no-protest period every year. Goyal said no rallies, sit-ins or demonstrations should be permitted at Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar, Ramlila Maidan, India Gate and Delhi Gate during this period. He suggested that alternative locations, including Burari, Alipur, Jasola and Yamuna Khadar, should be designated for organising protests and demonstrations. Second, CTI called for strict enforcement of the 'one day, one protest' rule at Jantar Mantar. Referring to the Supreme Court's observation about the 17-day occupation after permission was granted for just one day, Goyal said such incidents should not be repeated. He demanded that organisations be allowed to hold demonstrations at the venue for only one day at a time and that vacating the premises by 5 p.m. be made mandatory. Third, CTI demanded the enactment of a Delhi Recovery of Damages Act to ensure compensation for business losses and damage to private property caused during protests. Goyal said states such as Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tripura and Uttarakhand had laws providing for the recovery of damages from those responsible for planning or instigating violence and destruction of property during demonstrations. He said Delhi should also introduce similar legislation to ensure accountability and compensate affected traders. Fourth, the traders' body proposed a dedicated trade-disruption insurance mechanism and a compensation fund for traders and daily-wage earners affected by rallies, demonstrations and traffic restrictions. Goyal said the fund should cover losses suffered by nearly five million daily-wage workers, street vendors, auto-rickshaw drivers, loaders and porters whose livelihoods were affected by the closure of shops and disruption of transport. He suggested a mechanism similar to claims tribunals established to address losses during riots. Fifth, CTI demanded that the Delhi Police obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from CTI and the concerned market association before granting permission for any large rally involving more than 10,000 people in Central Delhi. It also called for the traffic management and parking plans for such events to be made public in advance to minimise inconvenience to traders, employees and commuters.

While the seven male accused were remanded to police custody for four days to facilitate further interrogation, the three women were sent to jail custody for ten days. The official said three BSF personnel, including a Company Commander, were seriously injured after a mob comprising men and women allegedly attacked them with sticks near the international border at Ashabari, under Kalamchaura police station, on Monday. According to the official, BSF personnel noticed some Indian and Bangladeshi smugglers allegedly engaged in illegal cross-border trade along the international border. The jawans immediately rushed to the spot and apprehended an Indian smuggler. However, the Bangladeshi smugglers, who were on the other side of the border fence, fled. The Indian smuggler also managed to escape and allegedly informed villagers that he had been assaulted by BSF personnel, the official said. Following this, around 50 men and women gathered at the spot, surrounded the BSF vehicle and launched an attack on the personnel, leaving three of them, including the Company Commander, grievously injured. The injured BSF personnel were subsequently taken to a government hospital for treatment. The attackers also allegedly snatched a PAG (Pump Action Gun) rifle from one of the BSF jawans and damaged a BSF vehicle. One of the attackers was also injured during the incident. Senior BSF and police officials rushed to the spot and managed to bring the situation under control. However, tension continued to prevail in the area following the incident. The mob also allegedly attempted to block the road by felling trees to prevent the movement of security forces and civilian vehicles. The police official said that ten people allegedly involved in the attack had been arrested so far, while an intensive search operation, launched on Monday night, was underway to apprehend the remaining accused. A BSF statement said on Tuesday night that the force remains resolute in its commitment to safeguarding the India-Bangladesh border and preventing trans-border smuggling and other unlawful activities. Such acts of violence and intimidation will not deter BSF from performing its mandated responsibilities. Despite being subjected to assault, BSF personnel exercised exemplary restraint and refrained from resorting to lethal force, demonstrating their commitment to protecting human life while continuing to discharge their operational duties professionally, it said. The statement said that the BSF deeply values its relationship with the border population and remains committed to maintaining mutual trust, cooperation and goodwill. BSF expects the local population to extend wholehearted cooperation in maintaining peace, public order and security in the border areas. Any attempt to intimidate or obstruct BSF personnel in discharge of their lawful duties will be dealt with firmly, the central armed police force said.

Ranji Trophy: Dubey Picks Nine Scalps As Vidarbha Bowl Out Madhya Pradesh For 209

For Central Zone: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey rewrote the Vidarbha record books on Monday by claiming 9-53 to bowl out Madhya Pradesh for 209 on an eventful opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha.

It lasted nearly 18 overs before Dubey returned to break it, and the lower order did not survive long after that. The last nine-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy came from Gujarats left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai, who took 9-36 against Uttarakhand in 2024-25. Mondays spell adds to a big year for Dubey, who made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in June and took four wickets in two matches. He then toured Sri Lanka with India A, taking three wickets and scoring 59 runs across two innings. For Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, he took eight wickets and made 27 and 24 against East Zone. He has carried that form into the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, with 23 wickets in seven innings so far. Elsewhere, Karnatakas Ritesh Bhatkal (5-35) and Shikhar Shetty (5-53) shared 10 wickets to bowl Assam out for 135 inside 49 overs in Guwahati. Rohan Patil then hit 89 off 87 balls, with 13 fours and a six, and added 129 for the opening wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who was unbeaten on 57, as Karnataka got a 45-run lead. In Dharamsala, 20 wickets fell on the opening day. Rajasthan chose to bat and were shot out for 78, with Abhishek Kumar taking five wickets for Himachal Pradesh. Sahil Dhiwan replied with a five-wicket haul for Rajasthan, but Himachal still made 153 for a lead of 75. Mayank Mishra took 6-57 as Uttarakhand bowled out Haryana for 153 after they elected to bat. In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Pauls unbeaten 138 powered Tamil Nadu to 320/4 against the hosts. N Jagadeesan (52) and Baba Indrajith (51) also scored fifties. Punjab recovered from 71/5 to reach 276/5 against Andhra, thanks to an unbroken 205-run stand for the sixth wicket between Salil Arora (111 not out) and Sanvir Singh (100 not out). In Ahmedabad, Aarya Desai fell five short of a century as Gujarat crossed 300 against Kerala. He added 116 with Abhishek Desai, and after Gujarat slipped to 182/4, Urvil Patel (63 not out) and Vishal Jayswal (50 not out) put on an unbeaten 111-run stand. Opener Dhruv Patel made 124 to lift Baroda to 269/6 in Kanpur. He added 88 with Shashwat Rawat (47) and 108 with Mitesh Patel (49) after Baroda were 54/2. His dismissal set off a late wobble, with three wickets falling on 249 in four deliveries across two overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal came in at number five with his side at 27/3 and made an unbeaten 111 to take them to 266 in 88 overs against Delhi at Palam. Snehal Kauthankars unbeaten 116 rescued Goa from 54/4 after they chose to bat against Bihar at home, as they ended day one at 288/6 in 87 overs. At the CCI in Mumbai, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (78) and Sarfaraz Khan (55) struck half-centuries and captain Siddesh Lad made 47 as Mumbai reached 247/6 in 83 overs after being put in by Railways. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46. Manisankar Murasingh (33) and Bikram Debnath (32) were unbeaten at the close, after Tripura had batted 74.3 overs. Parth Bhut was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers with 3-52 in 19 overs, including two maidens. Chetan Sakariya took two wickets, while Yuvraj Dodiya and Sammar Gajjar claimed one each.

Digital Desk | Agartala, Oct 30 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Friday reiterated that the state government is committed to ensuring balanced development of urban and rural areas while accelerating socio-economic growth through infrastructure development, improved public services and various welfare initiatives. The Chief Minister was speaking after inaugurating 27 development projects for South Tripura district at Sachin Debbarman Auditorium in Belonia. Of the 27 projects, 23 were virtually inaugurated, while foundation stones were laid for the remaining four. An investment of around Rs 56.82 crore has been made in the 23 completed projects, while the four newly initiated projects will involve an estimated expenditure of Rs 12.29 crore. Chief Minister Saha said the state government was undertaking a series of initiatives to ensure that the benefits of development reached people in both urban and rural areas. Maintaining equality in development is the goal of the present government. Balanced development across all areas remains our commitment, he added. Highlighting initiatives for youth empowerment, CM Saha said that under the Chief Minister's Youth Project, unemployed youths are being provided advanced training to enhance their skills and prepare for competitive examinations for government jobs. He expressed satisfaction that 180 unemployed youths from South Tripura district had already cleared various competitive examinations. Referring to the development of sports infrastructure, CM Saha said the state government was taking several steps to improve sporting facilities and promote talent.

These include increasing hospital beds, establishing new health centres, setting up trauma care units and opening new medical colleges. He announced that a new medical college would be established at Ambassa in Dhalai district headquarters. He also said that Tripura now has a nursing college to promote nursing education. With improvements in healthcare facilities, the number of patients travelling outside the state for treatment is gradually declining, he said, adding that kidney transplantation services have also become available in Tripura.

Gujarat doctor duped of Rs 1.50 crore over 8 years; retired professor among three held from UP

Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 30 (IANS) Three persons, including a 64-year-old retired professor, have been arrested for allegedly cheating a senior citizen doctor of around Rs 1.50 crore over eight years by promising refunds on insurance policies, with the police tracing the accused to Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh using a single mobile number that had since been switched off. The Surat City Cyber Crime Cell said on Friday that the accused had posed as representatives of the Insurance Ombudsman and persuaded the complainant to purchase around 15 insurance policies in 2018. After gaining his trust, they allegedly contacted him over the last two to three years, claiming that the money invested in his policies could be refunded if he paid various charges. The complainant was allegedly made to transfer money in small instalments of Rs 10,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and other amounts. Over the period from 2018 to 2026, he lost approximately Rs 1,50,33,004 (Rs 1.50 crore), police said. The complainant approached the cybercrime police around two to three months ago. Investigators examined the mobile numbers from which he had received calls and WhatsApp messages and conducted technical analysis of their call detail records. A team subsequently spent a week in Ghaziabad tracing the accused on the basis of a single calling number, which had become inactive. The arrested accused have been identified as Atulkumar Sharma (64), a retired professor who holds BSc and MBA degrees and had worked at IMT College; Mahesh Sharma (43), who has worked in vehicle loan arrangements, electricity meter reading and as a salesman for an Ayurvedic medicine company; and Sonu Thakur (32), a Class 12 pass-out who had previously worked as a telecaller at a call centre. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell) Bishakha Jain, Atulkumar allegedly arranged SIM cards and bank accounts by approaching financially needy people on the pretext of helping them obtain gas connections. He got accounts opened in their names and retained the SIM cards, net banking credentials, passwords and bank kits before passing the SIM cards to Mahesh Sharma, she said. Mahesh allegedly forwarded the SIM cards and bank account details to Sonu Thakur, who used different mobile handsets to contact insurance policyholders and demand money on the pretext of processing refunds. Jain said, Sonu had worked in the call centre operations of insurance companies since 2018 and was familiar with the process of obtaining policyholder data. During searches, police recovered around 70 pages of printed Excel sheets containing insurance policyholders' details. The sheets had markings indicating which people had already been contacted and which were yet to be approached. The accused used these sheets to identify and call different victims. They would tell them that if they wanted their insurance policy money back, they would have to deposit a certain amount towards charges, Jain added. The money deposited by victims was withdrawn through the bank accounts arranged by Atulkumar. He allegedly retained 35 to 50 per cent of the withdrawn amount as commission and passed the rest to Mahesh, who kept another 15 to 20 per cent before transferring the remaining amount to Sonu. Police recovered nine mobile phones, 42 cheque books, 17 passbooks, 90 debit cards, 25 SIM cards of different companies, around 80 empty SIM card trays and Rs 28,740 in cash from Atulkumar. Two mobile phones were seized from Mahesh. From Sonu, police recovered three mobile phones, Rs 1.77 lakh in cash and 70 printouts containing policyholder details. Investigators also identified 47 bank accounts linked to Atulkumar on the basis of the cheque books and passbooks recovered from his residence. A check of these accounts on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) revealed 73 complaints registered across 15 states, involving alleged online fraud of approximately Rs 33.10 lakh. Telangana accounted for the highest number of complaints at 15, followed by Tamil Nadu with 14, Maharashtra with seven, Karnataka and Goa with six each, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan with five each, and Bihar with four. Gujarat accounted for three complaints, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh two each, while Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Tripura had one complaint each. The complaints could involve other cyber fraud groups as well, as such gangs were suspected of sharing policyholder data, DCP Bishakha Jain said. She said insurance policy frauds of this nature were frequently reported from Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, where different groups allegedly exchanged data to target policyholders. The case has been registered under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(2), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, 2008. The police have advised insurance policyholders not to respond to unsolicited calls promising bonuses or refunds on policies and to verify such claims directly with the insurance company.

Thousands join INDIA Bloc rally in Agartala, demand removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar

Digital Desk | Agartala, Oct 30 (IANS) Thousands of people, including a large number of women, took part in a massive protest rally organised by the INDIA Bloc parties here on Friday, demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of electoral malpractices and alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Carrying thousands of Tricolours, singing patriotic songs and raising slogans, the protesters marched through the streets of the state capital, Agartala, demanding the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of vote theft and various other electoral malpractices. The Tripura unit of the INDIA Bloc, comprising eight political parties -- the Congress, CPI(M), CPI, Revolutionary Socialist Party, All India Forward Bloc, CPI(ML), Gana Mancha and Tripura People's Party -- jointly organised the protest rally and vowed to continue their agitation until their demands were met. The protesters marched through different parts of the city, raising slogans and expressing their anger over what they described as serious irregularities in the electoral process. The rally witnessed a massive public turnout, with participants waving the national flag and calling for greater accountability and transparency in the country's electoral system. The protest rally was followed by a public meeting in the state capital, where the demonstrators reiterated their demand for the removal of Gyanesh Kumar and the suspension of the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls. Former Tripura Chief Minister and veteran CPI(M) leader, Manik Sarkar, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Jitendra Chaudhury, former Minister Manik Dey, Tripura state Congress President Asish Kumar Saha, former Minister and Congress Working Committee member Sudip Roy Barman, along with several other senior leaders of the INDIA Bloc, led the protest rally and addressed the gathering. The four-point charter of demands includes the removal of Gyanesh Kumar from the post of Chief Election Commissioner, withdrawal of the ongoing SIR process, a review of provisions allegedly affecting the independence of the Election Commission, and opposition to the legal protections granted to the Chief Election Commissioner. CPI(M) Tripura state secretary and Jitendra Chaudhury alleged that the SIR exercise could lead to the exclusion of genuine voters from electoral rolls if adequate safeguards were not put in place. He also questioned the neutrality of the Election Commission and accused the BJP-led Central government of weakening the country's democratic institutions. Nearly 13.50 crore voters have already been removed from electoral rolls across the country through the SIR exercise, and there are apprehensions that over 2.50 lakh voters could be deleted from Tripura's electoral rolls during the upcoming SIR process, Chaudhury said. Tripura state Congress Committee President, Asish Kumar Saha, echoed similar concerns, alleging irregularities in voter registration, including duplicate entries and unusually large numbers of voters registered at certain addresses. He also raised questions over the transparency of electoral procedures and warned that such alleged irregularities could undermine public confidence in the country's electoral system. Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman appealed to political parties outside the INDIA Bloc, as well as other supporters of democracy, to join the campaign against the alleged electoral malpractices. He said the INDIA Bloc's agitation would continue to put pressure on the Election Commission and the authorities concerned to address their grievances regarding electoral roll revisions and ensure the integrity, transparency and fairness of the voting process. The INDIA Bloc leaders reiterated their resolve to continue the democratic movements until their demands were addressed and the concerns raised by the Opposition parties over the electoral process were adequately resolved.
