Supernova building suicide case: Victim identified as 29-year-old Gurugram resident
Digital Desk | Noida, Oct 3 (IANS) The youth who jumped to death from the 43rd floor of the Supernova building in Uttar Pradesh's Noida, has been identified by the police as 29-year-old Sambhav Jain, a resident of Gurugram in Haryana. Speaking to IANS, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) (Noida Zone), Manisha Singh said: At around 11:30 a.m. today, we received information that a person committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of a room in the Supernova Spira Tower located in Noida's Sector 94, under the jurisdiction of the police station in Sector-126. Upon receiving the information, local police immediately reached the spot and identified the individual as Sambhav Jain, aged around 29 years, originally a resident of Manesar in Haryana's Gurugram, she added. The senior police officer said that the victim's family members have been informed. Investigators are collecting evidence from the site. The body has been sent for post-mortem, Singh added. Police said that further investigation in the case is underway. Meanwhile, according to preliminary information received earlier, the impact of the fall was such that the victim's body was severed into two pieces. A sound resembling a bomb blast was reportedly heard in the complex due to the impact of the fall. According to reports, the young man who committed suicide was staying at Supernova's AIR BNB. Meanwhile, a video showing the man jumping from the building has gone viral on social media. The identity and reason for the suicide have not yet been revealed. Police are currently investigating the matter. However, according to media reports quoting an AC mechanic who tried to stop the man from jumping, the youth allegedly committed suicide after saying that he was depressed. However, this has not been independently verified. The video of the suicide that was taken by the horrified residents below has gone viral. In another case of suicide reported last month, a first-year MCA student hanged himself in his room in Sector Alpha-2, under the jurisdiction of the Beta-2 Police Station in Greater Noida. He had reportedly moved to Noida about a month prior to the incident and was pursuing his first-year MCA course through online classes.

CPI(M)'s Govindan targets Kerala govt, alleges Satheesan backed by BJP-RSS
Digital Desk | Palakkad (Kerala), Oct 3 (IANS) CPI(M) Kerala state secretary M.V. Govindan on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress-led UDF government, alleging that the ruling front was deeply divided and that Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan was pursuing policies favourable to the BJP and RSS. The entire UDF system in Kerala has become disorganised. Even the UDF convenor Adoor Prakash himself says that he knows nothing, Govindan told the media in Palakkad. He said only a few people were coming out in support of Satheesan, while more people within the Congress appeared to be backing UDF convenor and Congress MP Adoor Prakash. There is a major division within the Congress and the UDF. More people are supporting Adoor Prakash. Very few are speaking in favour of the Chief Minister, Govindan said. He questioned how the UDF could function without proper consultations among its constituent parties and leaders. How can the affairs of the UDF be conducted without consultations? he asked. Govindan alleged that the government was adopting positions favourable to the BJP and claimed that the RSS and BJP were sponsoring Satheesan. The Satheesan government is an RSS-sponsored government, he said. His remarks came amid growing differences within the Congress and the UDF over the style of functioning of the government and the lack of consultations with alliance partners. Govindan also targeted the Indian Union Muslim League, alleging that the party had surrendered before what he described as the RSSs advance. Govindans remarks add to the political attack by the CPI(M) against the UDF government at a time when differences among senior Congress and UDF leaders have come out into the open. The CPI(M) state secretary said the developments reflected a serious crisis within the Congress-led front and questioned whether the UDF could effectively function without collective consultations. This issue has become the first issue for the Left Front led by the CPI(M) to take on the Satheesan government after being mauled at the assembly polls when its tally fell from 99 seats to 35 seats in the 140-member House.

Case filed against CJP supporters over unauthorised gathering at Mumbai's Shivaji Park
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS) A case has been registered on Saturday against supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for holding an unauthorised gathering, raising slogans and making announcements at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. According to Mumbai Police, around 400 to 500 unidentified supporters and protesters, including CJP members Ajinkya Shinde, Pranay Ahire, Ashutosh Ranka, Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, Afreen Nawaz, Soumya Korde, Ankit Bhardwaj, Vijay Malangi and Yogesh Ingale, gathered without permission at Gate number 6 of Shivaji Park grounds, in front of the Meenatai Thackeray Memorial in Dadar West. The gathering reportedly took place between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. within the jurisdiction of the Shivaji Park police station. Police said the protesters gathered on a public road and raised slogans creating a law and order situation. Loudspeakers were also reportedly installed without the required permission. Following the incident, the Shivaji Park police registered a case against the concerned persons under Sections 189(2) and 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 37(1), 37(3) and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act. On Friday, the CJP had launched its 'Jail Bharo' protest, demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, amid reports of purported differences within the Election Commission. Despite heavy police deployment and the denial of formal permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, thousands of citizens and supporters reportedly gathered at the venue. Slogans targeting the Central government and the Election Commission were raised during the demonstration. The protest, described by organisers as 'Season 2' of their movement, was held despite the Mumbai Police denying permission. Security personnel were deployed in large numbers, while barricades were erected across parts of the Dadar area. The demonstration also received support from public figures, intellectuals and Bollywood personalities, who attended the event and spoke about the importance of voting rights and democratic institutions. Among those present were actors Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah, as well as musician Vishal Dadlani. The personalities who attended the gathering reiterated the importance of protecting voting rights and democratic institutions. Actor Prakash Raj also extended his support through a recorded visual message, urging citizens to safeguard democratic values. Addressing the gathering, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke had criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Dipke formally launched the 'Jail Bharo' call and said that peaceful assembly in defence of voting rights was a fundamental constitutional right. He also challenged the Maharashtra Chief Minister over police warnings against unlawful assembly. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, you spoke about putting us in jail for just three days. Had you said three months, the whole of Mumbai would have been brought to a complete standstill, Dipke said.

Polymarket is taking bets on HSBC and Lloyds failing. UK regulators are watching
More than $77,000 has been traded on a Polymarket market covering major bank failures. HSBC and Lloyds are among the lenders included in the contracts. UK and European regulators are examining wider risks around prediction markets. UK authorities are facing calls to intervene after online prediction market Polymarket allowed users to place thousands of dollars in positions on whether major banks including HSBC and Lloyds will fail by the end of 2026. The market had generated about $77,500 in trading volume, with contracts covering lenders including HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, JPMorgan Chase, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and others. Polymarket's own market page currently shows the bank-failure contract with roughly $77,500 in volume. The existence of the contracts does not mean the banks are expected to fail. Instead, users are trading binary contracts based on whether a specified event will happen. That distinction is becoming increasingly important as prediction markets move beyond sports and entertainment into areas involving financial markets, geopolitics and other events with potentially serious real-world consequences. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has told reports that it has been speaking with international regulators about prediction markets as part of efforts to protect market integrity. Could a prediction market make a bank run worse? The concern is not simply that people are betting on a bank's failure. Critics worry that information, rumors or even deliberate attempts to influence events could be used to profit from those bets. Treasury committee member and Liberal Democrat MP Bobby Dean said UK authorities should contact US regulators over the issue. Polymarket has a poor reputation for stopping insider trading or bad actors placing bets on their platform, so its easy to see how it could be exploited to try to aggravate real shifts in market sentiment, Dean said, according to reports. If the bank-related activity grows on the platform and then a particular market was to escalate rapidly, it could even trigger bank runs, he added. The concern has a precedent in recent banking crises. The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse in 2023 were accompanied by rapid withdrawals and intense discussion on social media. In the case of SVB, digital communications helped accelerate the speed at which depositors moved money out of the bank. A prediction market introduces another potential layer: someone could potentially stand to gain financially if a bank failure occurs, creating a theoretical incentive to spread information or take actions that could influence sentiment. That does not mean such activity is taking place in the HSBC or Lloyds markets. But regulators are increasingly looking at whether the structure of these markets could make such behavior harder to detect. The European Securities and Markets Authority warned in September that prediction markets face heightened risks of insider trading and market manipulation, particularly when they operate using distributed-ledger technology and limited identity verification. ESMA has also separately reminded firms that some prediction-market contracts can qualify as financial instruments or derivatives under European rules. Where they fall within existing binary-options measures, their marketing, distribution or sale to retail clients can be prohibited. The FCA's own 2026 perimeter report similarly identifies prediction markets as an emerging regulatory issue. It says financial prediction-market products can fall within the FCA's perimeter and that the products it has seen are considered binary options, which are subject to a permanent ban on their sale to retail consumers in the UK. Polymarket says the markets provide information Polymarket rejects the idea that the contracts themselves are inherently problematic. Its chief legal officer, Neal Kumar, argued that the information underlying such markets is already available to banks, hedge funds and other professional investors through established financial markets. The information in these markets is already public, Kumar said, according to reports. Banks, hedge funds and credit professionals have had access to credit default swap markets for years. He argued that prediction markets could broaden access to information that was previously largely available to professional institutions. Polymarket simplifies the question, providing a much larger audience with information, and markets serve as a powerful source of information and combating disinformation, Kumar said. The company's platform is built around blockchain technology. Users trade through crypto wallets, which can make transactions publicly visible while making it harder to establish the real-world identity behind a wallet. Polymarket officially restricts users in the UK, US, Canada and the European Union from trading on its offshore platform. However, reports have highlighted the use of workarounds such as virtual private networks, despite such activity violating the platform's terms. That creates a difficult regulatory problem. A conventional financial market generally operates within a framework of identity checks, reporting requirements and established rules around insider trading and market manipulation. A decentralized prediction market can operate across borders, with participants and transactions spread across different jurisdictions. Regulators are therefore having to consider where these products fit within existing financial and gambling rules. The issue has already produced examples that have attracted regulatory scrutiny. ESMA cited incidents involving prediction markets in its recent risk assessment, including cases in which newly created crypto wallets made significant profits shortly before major geopolitical events became public. It said the use of crypto and decentralized infrastructure can make detecting insider trading, wash trading and coordinated manipulation more difficult. Polymarket has also faced wider regulatory pressure. The company introduced voluntary deposit limits, trading lock-outs and access to mental health resources in September as it faced growing scrutiny over prediction-market activity. For UK regulators, the question is therefore becoming broader than whether people should be allowed to bet on a bank failing. It is whether markets designed to predict real-world events can remain separate from the events they are predicting particularly when the outcome involves a financial institution whose collapse could affect millions of customers. For now, the HSBC and Lloyds contracts remain relatively small compared with mainstream financial markets. But regulators are watching how quickly prediction markets are expanding, and whether the technology behind them creates new ways to exploit information or influence outcomes. The FCA's involvement with international regulators suggests the UK is treating that question as a developing market-integrity issue, rather than simply another form of online gambling.

Director Abhishek Pathak has spoken about the responsibility of bringing the Drishyam franchise to its conclusion and ensuring that the third instalment offers a meaningful end to the story. According to Pathak, Drishyam 3 could not simply continue the franchise as another sequel. It had to take its characters forward and bring their journey to a fitting conclusion. In an exclusive quote given to Bollywood Hungama, Abhishek said, The biggest responsibility with this film was that it is called The Conclusion. You cannot just make another film and say this is Part 3. It has to actually take the characters somewhere and give the audience a feeling that this journey has reached its final point. It has to be a high! It took us a lot of time to write it because it is not an easy film. It is a very complex and complicated story and we wanted to make sure that the conclusion felt earned. Even when people were asking why not Part 4, for me Drishyam cannot go into 4 just for the sake of going into 4. It has to end on a very good note, and I feel this is a very good note. Pathak also explained that while working on the concluding chapter, the team remained mindful of the details and elements associated with the Drishyam universe. The filmmaker wanted the third film to retain the essence of the first two instalments while also establishing its own identity. I was very conscious that this is Drishyam and people have a certain expectation from this world. So we have kept that detailing. When we were writing, we went back to the first two films and looked at the details and brought those elements into this film because I wanted people to feel that nostalgia and feel that all the parts are connected. But at the same time, I did not want to have the tag of a remake this time. Somewhere I felt that when you make something which is already there, people can overlook the craft that has gone into the Hindi version.

My mom took me to a cycle shop to buy one, and I immediately liked this bright red bicycle. It had a little pink on it too, but I absolutely loved it. I told her, I like this one, Im going to take this one. But later, I realised that I had accidentally picked a ladies bicycle! I had thought that the next morning, I would show it off to all my friends and make them jealous that I had got such a jazzy cycle. But when I went to show it to them the next day, I realised that boys bicycles had a bar in the middle, while girls bicycles didnt. And unfortunately, I ended up riding that same bicycle for several years! The incident became a childhood memory for Bhuvan, who recalled how his expectations of showing off his new bicycle to his friends changed once he realised his mistake. Despite the mix-up, he continued riding the same bicycle for several years.
