Zakir Hussain, one of India's most accomplished classical musicians, dies at 73
Zakir Hussain, one of India's most accomplished classical musicians, dies at 73
NEW DELHI — Zakir Hussain, one of India's most accomplished classical musicians who defied genres and introduced tabla to global audiences, died on Sunday. He was 73.
The Indian classical music icon died from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic lung disease, at a hospital in San Francisco, his family said in a statement.
“His prolific work as a teacher, mentor and educator has left an indelible mark on countless musicians. He hoped to inspire the next generation to go further. He leaves behind an unparalleled legacy as a cultural ambassador and one of the greatest musicians of all time,” the statement read.
Hussain was the most recognizable exponent of tabla, a pair of hand drums that is the main percussion instrument in Indian classical music.
Considered the greatest tabla player of his generation, Hussain had a career that spanned six decades in which he collaborated with the likes of singer-songwriter George Harrison, jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, drummer Mickey Hart and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The son of legendary tabla artist Ustad Alla Rakha, Hussain was born in 1951 in Mumbai and was taught how to play the instrument by his father at the age of 7. A child prodigy, he began performing alongside India’s classical music legends during his teens.
In 1973, Hussain formed the Indian jazz fusion band “Shakti” with jazz guitarist John McLaughlin. The band played acoustic fusion music that combined Indian music with elements of jazz, introducing a new sound to Western audiences.
In 2024, Hussain became the first musician from India to win three Grammy awards in the same year.
Hussain’s “Shakti” won Best Global Music Album, and his collaboration with Edgar Meyer, Béla Fleck and flutist Rakesh Chaurasia won Best Global Music Performance and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. He had earlier won a Grammy in 2009.
In 2023, Hussain received the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award.
Hussain is survived by his wife and two daughters.

NEW DELHI: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara has called the suicide of Bengaluru techie Subhash Atul an eye-opener on the state of men’s rights in the country.
While talking to the media on Sunday, he stated, “It’s a suicide. It has opened up a new discussion in the country. We always talk about women’s rights, but now this particular case has exposed the men’s rights and how weak the men’s rights system is.”
The 34-year-old auto executive was found hanging in his Marathahalli apartment on December 9. Atul, originally from Bihar, left behind a 24-page note accusing his wife and in-laws of relentless harassment, false legal cases, and extortion attempts, which he said drove him to end his life. A chilling A4 sheet glued to his chest bore the words “Justice is Due.”
Atul’s email to a men’s rights NGO hours before his death prompted police action, but officers arrived at his apartment too late to save him. His meticulously planned suicide included a timetable detailing personal tasks, emails to courts, and a video explaining his ordeal.
Atul alleged his wife and in-laws demanded Rs 3 crore to settle cases and Rs 30 lakh for visitation rights to his four-year-old son.
The police registered a case of abetment to suicide against Atul’s estranged wife, Nikita Singhania, her mother Nisha, and brother Anurag.
The accused fled their home in Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur, with neighbors saying they left on a motorbike claiming a medical emergency. Bengaluru police later tracked them down, arresting Nikita in Gurgaon and her mother and brother in Prayagraj.
The techie’s father, Pawan Kumar Modi, accused a family court judge of corruption and said he feared for his grandson’s safety. “We don’t know where my grandson is—whether he is alive or not. For a grandfather, his grandson means more than his son. Justice must prevail,” he said, appealing to PM Narendra Modi and other leaders for intervention.

Walker notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Walker has earned two assists over six games in December. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 43 shots on net, 27 hits, 32 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 30 appearances. He hasn't reached the level of offense he displayed last season (29 points in 81 regular-season games), and Walker's third-pairing role with minimal power-play time gives him little chance of turning things around any time soon.

Bitcoin soared past the $106,000 mark at the Singapore market open on December 16, according to data on Coinmarketcap. At 6:10 a.m., it was at 106,449.88, reaching an all-time record high of $106.533 before slipping below the $105,000 mark in the morning.
At the time of writing at 9 am on December 16, the world's biggest cryptocurrency was at $104,866.90, according to data on Coinmarketcap. This is still a 3.11 per cent increase from the previous day.
The token has also seen its market capitalisation increase by 3.12 per cent from the previous day to $2.07 trillion on December 16, data showed. Notably, Bitcoin’s dominance is currently 56 per cent in the cryptocurrency market space, an increase of 0.29 per cent over the day.
The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin
Bitcoin surged to a record high above $106,000 in early Asian trade as United States President-elect Donald Trump spoke of plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve for the country, along the lines of the strategic oil reserve, Reuters reported.
Speaking to CNBC Trump said, “We're gonna do something great with crypto because we don't want China or anybody else — not just China but others are embracing it — and we want to be the head,." When asked about a crypto reserve similar to oil reserves, Trump said: “Yeah, I think so."
Overall, Bitcoin has surged more than 50 per cent since Trump won the 2024 US Presidential elections on November 5. The total value of the crypto market has almost doubled over the year so far to hit a record over $3.8 trillion, according to data provider CoinGecko.
Longest Winning Streak Since 2021
According to a Bloomberg report, the token on December 15 also “cemented" a seven-week winning streak — its longest such run since 2021.
Not just Bitcoin, the world second biggest crypto Ether also rose nearly 3 per cent to $4,014, the news agency said.
US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) inflows into Bitcoin were $12.2 billion since Trump’s November win. Subscriptions for similar products for Ether have reached $2.8 billion over the same period.

Jacqueliene Fernandez on dealing with tough times: Resilience and self-belief have been my biggest learnings
Jacqueliene Fernandez opens up on completing 15 years in the industry, dealing with tough times and the future of her music career
It’s been 15 years for Jacqueliene Fernandez in the industry, and through this time while the actor has seen many successes, she has also been subjected to tough times. Ask her how she deals with them and find the strength to get up and brave it all and she says, “Resilience and self-belief have been my biggest learnings. There are always going to be tough days, but I remind myself why I started this journey. Having a strong support system of loved ones and focusing on the things that make me happy keeps me grounded.”
Coming from Sri Lanka, the 39-year-old admits that India has given her an acceptance that she could have only dreamt of. She says, “I’m a South Asian so there are many cultural similarities that I’ve also grown up with - whether it’s enjoying curry and rice in tropical weather or the emphasis on family values. Adapting to a new language and nuances was challenging at first, but the warmth of the Indian audience made me feel right at home. Indians today embrace their roots while being open to global perspectives.”
After acting and dancing, Jacqueliene Fernandez tried her hand at a new skill this year—singing, with her song Stormrider, and after the response to the song, it has given her a zeal to pursue music with much more gusto. “The response has been so encouraging. It’s amazing to hear from fans about how much they connect with the song, particularly its themes of resilience and empowerment. Knowing that my music has touched people’s hearts and inspired them makes it all worthwhile,” she says, adding, “Every step of the process was about channeling my evolution as an artiste into something meaningful. It’s more than just a song; it’s a piece of my journey.”
Interestingly, the musical inclination is hereditary for Jacqueliene. She reveals, “Music has always been a significant part of my life. My father was a part-time DJ, and growing up, our home was filled with records from the '50s, '60s, '70s, and beyond. That exposure to diverse musical genres laid the foundation for my love of music.” Prod her on her future musical plans and she shares, “Right now, I’m exploring solo music as it is such a powerful medium for storytelling. As for the future, there are more songs and possibly an album in the works, each reflecting a different side of me as an artiste.”
Currently, the actor is working on Housefull 5. While she doesn’t divulge much about it, she shares, “It’s such a fun movie. I’ve always enjoyed working with Akshay (Kumar, actor) and my other co-stars. And the camaraderie on set with all of them is so special.”

Lafreniere registered an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Lafreniere snapped a three-game point drought with the helper on a Will Cuylle goal in the third period. They flanked Filip Chytil on the Rangers' listed top line, and Lafreniere led all Rangers forwards with 19:13 of ice time amid the team's significant roster shuffle sans Artemi Panarin (upper body). Lafreniere hasn't fully avoided the team's struggles, but he has looked pretty good this year with 21 points, 66 shots on net and 42 hits over 30 contests, though he also has a minus-13 rating. The winger is on pace for roughly the same point total he had last year (57 in 82 regular-season games).

Worker dies after grinder pulls him in at food stall in Mumbai
The victim was identified as Suraj Narayan Yadav (19) from Jharkhand. Police have registered an FIR against Sachin Kothekar (32), the food stall owner.
A 19-year-old man from Jharkhand lost his life after he got pulled in by a grinder in Mumbai's Worli on Saturday, police said.
The victim was identified as Suraj Narayan Yadav. According to police, Yadav had been working for the past three-four months at a roadside Chinese food stall, owned by Sachin Kothekar (32).
Initial reports said Yadav's shirt got stuck in the machine and he got pulled in.
“The incident occurred when the victim was handling a grinder to prepare raw materials for Chinese dishes. He had no prior experience or technical knowledge to operate the equipment. Kothekar gave him the task allegedly without providing proper safety measures and training,” The Free Press Journal quoted a police officer as saying.
An FIR has been registered against the stall owner at the Dadar police station.
In August, a 40-year-old man supervising repairs on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway was killed when he got crushed under a grinding machine at Bilaspur Chowk in Haryana's Gurugram.
Fire in Worli
Meanwhile, a fire broke out on the second floor of the Rajshri Entertainment Private Limited production studio, housed inside the Poonam Chambers building in Worli, on Sunday.
The blaze, reported at 11:39 am, triggered panic in the area, and prompted the the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to dispatch eight fire engines and six jumbo tankers.
The Level 2 (moderate emergency) fire was brought under control by 3:23 pm and no injuries were reported.
While the exact cause remains undetermined, officials noted that LPG cylinders in the office premises and glass facade made the blaze go from Level 1 (minor) to Level 2.
Prima facie, a short circuit is suspected to have triggered the fire, which destroyed equipment such as editing panels, computers, cameras and studio infrastructure, was destroyed.
The second floor, in particular, sustained severe damage.

BHOPAL: What does Indian classical music have in common with the Oscar-winning animated superhero film Spider-Man? The answer is - CGI-artist Dipankar Goswamy. This unassuming, visual effects artist, who lives in Los Angeles, is the brains behind much of the compelling CGI (computer-generated imaging)-enabled special effects of films such as Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse, Kingsman the Golden Circle, Amazing Spiderman 2, Oz – the Great and Powerful, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 1 and 2, Angry Birds 2, and Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2. Thanks to the skill with which he wields a paintbrush, Goswamy has, through the projections of his atmospheric paintings of the performances of great Indian classical musicians, accompanied by recordings of their music, tried to recreate the multi-sensory experience at Raagrang. Yes, this is the name of the exhibition of Goswamy's paintings that will be held at Motimahal, Gwalior, on the occasion of the Centennial Tansen Samaroh from 15-19 December.
The paintings are an exploration in visualising myriad forms of Indian classical music. All the paintings on display will be presented along with the ragas which inspired the paintings. The dynamic portraits of the great maestros of Hindustani classical music: Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Pandit Jasraj, Begum Akhtar, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, Rajan-Sajan Mishra, Dagar Brothers, Ustad Vilayat Khan, Mallikarjun Mansur, and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan will be the main attraction of the exhibition. An audio-visual presentation will also be shown along with the paintings. The exhibition will be inaugurated today by principal secretary, culture and tourism, MP, Sheo Shekhar Shukla at 3:30 pm. The exhibition, curated by Prof Kirti Trivedi has been organised in association with the department of archaeology, MP Government, and is expected to be a major attraction of the Centennial Tansen Samaroh.

Berard scored a goal on five shots and added four hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
The goal was Berard's first point in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old winger played alongside Mika Zibanejad and Jimmy Vesey amid a massive lineup shuffle by head coach Peter Laviolette, though the trio accounted for three of the four lowest ice-time totals among the Rangers' forwards. Regardless of future changes, Berard is likely to spend most of his time in the bottom six. He has three points, 17 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating over his first eight NHL appearances.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Kane Williamson created history in Hamilton
- Williamson scored his 33rd Test ton
- Williamson has scored a century in five consecutive Tests at Hamilton
Kane Williamson continued his red-hot form in Test cricket at home as he notched up his 33rd ton in the longest format of the game during the second innings of the third Test against England on Monday (December 16) at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.
Williamson reached the milestone with a six in just 137 balls as New Zealand aim to build on their massive first-innings lead and avoid a whitewash after losing the first two games. Earlier, the hosts put up a total of 347 and England were bowled out for just 143.
Kane Williamson Creates History
Williamson etched his name in history by becoming the first player in the 147-year-old history of Test cricket to score centuries in five consecutive centuries on the same ground. In the past five Test matches on the ground, Williamson has scores of 200 (Bangladesh, 2019), 4, 104 (England, 2019), 251 (West Indies (2020), 43, 133* (South Africa, 2024). He made 44 runs in the first innings of this match.
Most Consecutive Centuries On Same Ground In Test Cricket
Williamson now has seven Test centuries at Hamilton and is close to becoming only the fourth player in history to average more than 100 at a ground (15 or more innings). Only Mahela Jayawardene (11, Colombo SSC), Don Bradman (9, MCG), Jacques Kallis (9, Cape Town), and Kumar Sangakkara (8, Colombo SSC) have more at a single ground while Michael Clarke (Adelaide), Jayawardene (Galle), Mominul Haque (Chattogram), Joe Root (Lord's) also have seven.
Williamson is the first player to score 20 Test centuries in New Zealand. Ross Taylor (12), and John Wright (10) are the only other players to score more than 10 tons for the Black Caps at home. Williamson has also equalled Taylor (24) for the most three-figure scores in all formats of international cricket at home.
Only Mahela Jayawardene (23), Jacques Kallis (23), Ricky Ponting (23), Kumar Sangakkara (22), Sachin Tendulkar (22), Matthew Hayden (21), Joe Root (21) have more tons in a country than Williamson. David Warner also finished his career with 20 Test centuries in Australia.
Having completed the feat in 186 innings, Williamson is the third-quickest player in history to score 33 Test centuries after Sachin Tendulkar (178) and Ricky Ponting (183). After playing 186 innings, no player in history had more centuries than Williamson.

Chytil logged an assist and four hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Chytil has three points over his last five games. He was listed on the top line Sunday and ranked second among the Rangers' centers with 19:06 of ice time, one second less than Vincent Trocheck. Head coach Peter Laviolette had to get creative with Artemi Panarin (upper body) out Sunday, but Chytil has played well enough to get a longer look in the top six. He has 12 points, 49 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-9 rating over 23 appearances -- don't expect his physicality from Sunday to become the norm.

Quick stopped 21 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
All three goals allowed came in the first two periods. Quick was steady in the third, but the Rangers' comeback effort fell short. The 38-year-old has lost in three of his last five outings (four starts), allowing 18 goals on 124 shots in that span. It's been tough sledding for the Rangers lately with just one win over their last five games, which came against a Sabres team in an even deeper rut. Quick is now 5-3-0 with a 2.47 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 10 appearances, but he's been trending in the wrong direction. It's likely Igor Shesterkin gets a chance to start Tuesday versus the lowly Predators.

WASHINGTON — Officials from the White House, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security on Dec 14 stressed that most of the recent reported drone sightings in New Jersey and nearby states involved manned aircraft, and there was no evidence of any national security threat.
An FBI official told reporters during an impromptu briefing that the agency was working with 50 local, state and federal partners to look into increased reports.
The official said less than 100 of the over 5,000 reported sightings had turned out to merit further investigation, and all of the large fixed-wing reported sightings so far involved manned aircraft.
"The combination of efforts so far… to include technical equipment, tip line information and noted consults has… not found any evidence to support large-scale (unmanned aerial systems) activities," the official said, adding that many of the sightings occurred along regular flight paths.
Extensive efforts were under way to investigate the remaining cases, using interviews and analyses of radar and intelligence, the official added.
"We can't ignore the sightings that have been there," the official said. "We're doing our best to find the origin of those drone activities, but I think there has been a slight overreaction."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restricted the airspace around Dec 14's Army-Navy football game in Maryland, creating a No Drone Zone extending 3.2km around the stadium, state officials announced.
US President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect J.D. Vance attended the game.
A spate of reported drone sightings that began in New Jersey in mid-November spread in recent days to include Maryland, Massachusetts and other states.
The sightings have garnered media attention and prompted creation of a Facebook page called "New Jersey Mystery Drones — let's solve it" with 56,000 online members.
US President Joe Biden is receiving regular updates on the issue, a White House official said.
On Cape Cod in Massachusetts, residents and a police officer in Harwich reported seeing 10 to 15 drones flying in the Dec 13 night sky, the Boston Herald reported.
Police relayed the information to the Boston FBI and Massachusetts State Police.
Governor Maura Healey said on Facebook that she is also "aware of a growing number of drone sightings across Massachusetts, and we're monitoring the situation closely".
New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Dec 14 called for a boost in federal law enforcement efforts after the runways at a local airport in the Hudson Valley were shut down for one hour due to drone activity on Dec 13.
"This has gone too far," Hochul said in a statement on the social media network X, urging the Biden administration to boost law enforcement in New York and other areas, and calling on Congress to pass drone reform legislation.
An official with the FAA said a temporary ban on drone activity had been put in place over Picatinny Arsenal, a military base in Wharton, New Jersey, that was due to expire on Dec 26 and could be made permanent.
There had been drone sightings over Picatinny and another naval weapons station in December, a military official told reporters, but there was no intelligence or observation that they were linked to a foreign actor or had malicious intent.
Drone operations over military installations are generally banned, but occur from time to time, the official added.
A second ban was put in place over Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, that was due to expire on Dec 20, but could be extended, the FAA official said.

London — Sudan tops the International Rescue Committee (IRC) 2025 Emergency Watchlist as the world's largest humanitarian crisis for the second year running. Released on Wednesday, the report highlights that, despite being home to just one per cent of the global population, the war-torn nation accounts for 10 per cent of global humanitarian needs, leading 20 at-risk countries, including the occupied Palestinian territory, Myanmar, Syria, and South Sudan.
The ongoing war in Sudan has decimated infrastructure, displaced millions, and left the nation teetering on the edge of famine. External powers have fuelled the conflict, while leaders on both sides appear committed to fighting rather than negotiating peace.
"The world is on fire," said David Miliband, IRC President and CEO. "Civilians will continue to suffer the worst impacts of burgeoning conflict and risk perilous journeys if we don't break with the status quo.
The international community has both an incredible opportunity and responsibility to change the terms of humanitarian and diplomatic engagement."
According to the IRC report, Sudan's crisis has also resulted in regional consequences, with South Sudan facing mounting economic challenges and grappling with an influx of nearly 900,000 refugees fleeing the war.
Delivering humanitarian aid remains perilous; at least 28 attacks on aid workers were recorded in South Sudan in 2024 alone, the report states.
The IRC report highlights a global humanitarian system in turmoil, with 305 million people needing aid and Watchlist countries bearing the brunt.
Sudan's crisis typifies the imbalances driving global suffering: rising conflict, disproportionate climate impacts, deepening poverty, and escalating violence against civilians, says the damming report.
The IRC urges immediate action to address these crises, proposing sweeping reforms to humanitarian aid and international policy. Recommendations include debt relief, expanding financing, climate adaptation, and UN Security Council reform to enhance civilian protection.
"This is a trend that needs to be addressed for moral and strategic reasons," said Miliband. "Problems that start in Sudan or Syria do not stay there: instability spreads."
As the humanitarian needs in Sudan and beyond continue to soar, the report highlights the pressing need to break the ongoing deadlock.

Cuylle scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
The absence of Artemi Panarin (upper body) prompted wholesale changes to the Rangers' lines. Cuylle played alongside Filip Chytil and Alexis Lafreniere on what was listed as the top line, though Cuylle's 15:08 of ice time was largely in line with what he's seen on the third line all year. The 22-year-old has three points over his last five games, and he's up to 11 goals, 12 assists, 55 shots on net, 120 hits and a plus-11 rating through 30 appearances. He's been good regardless of role, and he needs just two goals to match his total from last year -- he's already reset his career high in points.

OnePlus 13 India Launch Next Month and Here Are 5 Upgrades You Should Expect
OnePlus is gearing up for the launch of its flagship OnePlus 13 series. It will include two smartphones- OnePlus 13 and a more affordable OnePlus 13R. The series has been launched in China already and can make its way to India around January 2025.
OnePlus 13
OnePlus’ much awaited flagship smartphone series will debut next month. The company recently officially announced that the OnePlus 13 series will make its global debut in January 2025. The line-up will also make it to India round the same time and will include two smartphones: the OnePlus 13, and a more affordable OnePlus 13R.
Both the smartphones are expected to get some big upgrades as compared to their predecessors. The OnePlus 13, which is the top-tier device, will get the latest Snapdragon chip, better cameras and improved battery.
Let’s take a look at some major changes that we can expect with OnePlus 13.
1) Improved performance
On the performance front, OnePlus 13 is expected to be powered by the latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The new-gen Snapdragon chipset powers phones like iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro. It is also likely to power the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
We have seen about a 40 pct increase in the CPU performance, along with enhanced GPU and AI performance on the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phones launched so far. Both Realme GT 7 Pro and iQOO 13 crossed 2.5 million on AnTuTu in our testing and the OnePlus 13 is expected to hit the same mark.
It will be interesting to see how many RAM and storage variants of OnePlus 13 are launched in India. Additionally, the phone should run OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15.
2) New design
OnePlus has already revealed the design of OnePlus 13. And, while the overall design philosophy seems very similar to the OnePlus 12, there are some changes. First of all, we should get Vegan leather finish at the back. However, you can also expect variants with Glass finish. Then, the camera module is not attached to the side frame anymore.
Following the industry trend of the season, OnePlus 13 can also come with IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. This is something we have seen on most flagship phones recently.
3) Display
OnePlus can ditch the curved display this time for a flatter design, again something that a lot of brands are picking up this season. Instead of curved edges, we can see a more subtle quad-curved look. This will still be a high-res, high refresh-rate LTPO panel with Aqua touch feature which means the touch will work even if there are some water droplets on it.
4) Enhanced camera
The camera specifications of OnePlus 13 will be more or less the same as the OnePlus 12, along with Hasselblad tuning. However, it can include an upgraded 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. We can also get to see a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. We will test both phones against each other to see how the performance turns out to be.
5) Better battery and charging
The OnePlus 13 can also get a bigger 6000mAh battery. This will be an upgrade on the 5400mAh battery of the OnePlus 12. We are also expecting better battery efficiency due to the new chipset. The charging support, however, will remain the same at 100W.
The India launch date of OnePlus 13 should be announced soon. Stay tuned to Times Now Tech as we bring you all the updates about the phone.

Gang behind abducting actors planned Shakti Kapoor's kidnapping, called plan off later: UP cops
Police revealed that the gang was involved in abducting film stars by sending advance payments and air tickets under the guise of event invitations.
Uttar Pradesh Police has arrested four members of a gang for kidnapping actor Mushtaq Mohammad Khan from the Delhi airport, holding him hostage in Bijnor district of the state and demanding ransom.
According to police, the miscreants were also plotting to abduct veteran actor Shakti Kapoor on the pretext of inviting him to an event but called the plan off later.
The arrested gang members have been identified as Sarthak Chaudhary, Sabiuddin, Azim, and Shashank. Police have also recovered Rs. 1.04 lakh from their possession.
Police revealed that the gang was involved in abducting film stars by sending advance payments and air tickets under the guise of event invitations.
The investigation has also revealed that actor Shakti Kapoor was offered Rs. 5 lakh to attend a similar event, but the deal fell through due to a high advance request.
Police are now investigating whether the gang was involved in the kidnapping of other film stars. Efforts are on to track down the remaining members of the gang.
What happened to actor Mushtaq Khan?
Actor Mushtaq Khan's event manager, Shivam Yadav, had filed a complaint on December 9, bringing the case to light. Bijnor Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha shared the details on Saturday, PTI reported.
According to the complaint, Lavi alias Rahul Saini had on October 15 sent an advance payment of Rs. 25,000 and an air ticket to invite Khan to an event in Meerut. Upon arriving at the Delhi airport on November 20, Mushtaq was received by a cab driver who took him to a famous 'shikanji' shop between Meerut and Delhi.
There, Khan was forced into another vehicle, where more individuals joined him. The actor was then threatened and informed that he had been kidnapped and was being held captive at the home of Lavi, a criminal involved in the case, police said.
During his captivity, the kidnappers took Mushtaq Khan's bank account details and password. On the night of November 20, the accused consumed alcohol and slept. The following morning, Mushtaq Khan managed to escape and reached a mosque in Mohalla Chahshiri, where locals contacted his family and helped him return home.
"On November 21, the kidnappers withdrew Rs. 2.2 lakh from Mushtaq Khan's bank account while shopping in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar," the officer said.

Access to justice is one of the human rights that allows individuals irrespective of their gender and social status to be treated fairly. For refugees in the camps in Tanzania, access to timely justice, especially for cases of gender-based violence (GBV) is critical when they have limited freedom of movement due to the country's encampment policy.
In 2022, UNHCR and the Refugee Services Department in the Ministry of Home Affairs, in collaboration with Women's Legal Aid Centre (WLAC) and Danish Refugee Council (DRC) established a mobile court as to address legal issues that affect refugees and their Tanzanian hosts living in and around Nyarugusu camp, north of the country.
"Bringing the court system closer to the people in the camp has made justice more accessible and timelier. Refugees can now address their grievances without the burden of travel or delays, ensuring their rights are protected in even the most difficult circumstances," says Immaculate Shali, Senior Resident Magistrate, Kasulu District Court in Kigoma.
In the mobile court, the procedure of filing a case is simple. The case is reported to the police, then transferred to the National Prosecution Services (NPS) who file a case in an online court system on behalf of the United Republic of Tanzania, and then a Magistrate hears the case through the virtual court system in the camp.
"The mobile court initiative is a transformative step in ensuring access to justice for refugees. It not only resolves disputes but restores dignity and hope in challenging circumstances. Through our partnership with UNHCR, we're ensuring that no one is left without a voice, especially the most vulnerable," says Mburalina D. Maira, DRC Legal Team Leader.
Currently, two magistrates who were trained on gender-based violence (GBV) issues, including on how to respond to GBV cases, virtually attend the mobile court. On average, the mobile court handles two to three GBV cases per month, while monthly reports are much higher . It takes six months to finalize a GBV case in the mobile court. However, for the tendering of physical exhibits as well as for thepronouncement of judgement, they are conducted physically at the main court premises as per the court procedures. Survivors are supported by the Legal partner to attend these physical court.
"The mobile court brings a quicker access to justice for GBV survivors especially women and girls mostly affected by GBV incidents in Nyarugusu Camp. It speeds up GBV cases through the virtual court system and addresses challenges faced by women and girls about fear of retaliation, reduced rate of survivor's withdrawal of cases in courts and distance factor," explains Rehema Peter Katyega, UNHCR Assistant GBV Officer.
The refugees find the court useful as it reduces barriers such as distance and cost, provides timely justice, and protects their rights, as women and minors feel safer reporting crimes such as GBV. Also, it improves community confidence as the court is within the vicinity of the camp and it builds trust in the legal system and empowers refugees to seek redress for grievances.
UNHCR and partners engage paralegals who play a vital role in supporting the legal needs of refugees. Paralegals are often trained to provide basic legal advice in minor cases, educate the community about their rights, and help navigate the justice system, including in the mobile court. At Nyarugusu Camp, there are a total of 53 paralegals supporting around 134,000 refugees and asylum seekers.
Thanks to the generous support of our steadfast donors like the Government of the United States of America, forcibly displaced women and vulnerable groups are encouraged by having access to the mobile court to prosecute their cases without fear, as it is a closer facility where refugees only appear in court at a scheduled time thus allowing them to use their remaining time for other activities including attending to their families.

Week 15's Sunday Night Football ended in a comfortable one-sided affair.
The Green Bay Packers went on the road and conquered the Seattle Seahawks 30-13 in a game the latter really never founded their footing in.
Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs found their rhythm early and didn't let up, while Geno Smith struggled before leaving the action early with a knee injury, being replaced by Sam Howell.
Seattle made it 23-13 in the fourth quarter and increased the pressure slightly on Love and Co., but a Howell interception eventually sealed the deal.
The result moved Green Bay to 10-4 while Seattle dropped to 8-6 in a tight NFC West race. Let's analyze the prime time game further with three takeaways:
Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs shine
The Packers were led to victory by their two best offensive talents. Love stepped up with a clean game, throwing for 229 yards on 20 of 27 completions for two touchdowns and no picks while not taking a sack.
Jacobs carried the rock 26 times for 94 yards and a touchdown, continuing his excellent first campaign with Green Bay.

Romeo Doubs caught both of Love's touchdowns, including a ridiculous low snag that iced the game late in the fourth.
“HOW DID DOUBS CATCH THAT?!” 😱

An INSANE grab in the back of the end zone.

Seattle won't go far with Geno Smith
The Seahawks are in position to make the playoffs, whether that's as the NFC West winners or through the wild card. But they're still not that much different with Mike Macdonald as head coach, especially with Geno Smith under center.
Prior to the knee injury, Smith completed 15 of 19 passes for 149 yards, no touchdowns and one pick while being sacked three times. Seattle did give Smith an extension after his play made them relevant in playoff conversations, but he's still not the team's long-term signal caller and a short playoff run, if at all with three weeks to go, is likely.
Young Packers shine on defense
The Packers have become known for deploying several top young prospects on offense, but don't forget about their underrated defense, too.
Leading the way in the win was 23-year-old linebacker Edgerrin Cooper and 24-year-old defensive end Kingsley Enagbare. Cooper led the team with seven total tackles (six solo), one sack, two tackles for loss, two QB hits and two passes defended, on top of a 22-yard interception return on Howell.
Enagbare had five solo tackles (second most for Green Bay) that included three tackles for loss, two sacks and two QB hits. The Packers indicated last season they're built for a deep playoff push. With young talents like this on both sides of the ball, they should be in the mix again.

The Haryana government, in a late-night order on Friday, suspended mobile internet services, bulk SMS, and all dongle services in the villages of Dangdehri, Lohgarh, Manakpur, Dadiyana, Bari Ghel, Choti Ghel, Lharsa, Kalu Majra, Devi Nagar (Hira Nagar, Naresh Vihar), Saddopur, Sultanpur, and Kakru. This decision was taken in light of the protesting farmers planning to resume their Delhi Kooch (foot march) today, on Saturday.
In their third attempt, a
jatha (batch) of 101 farmers, under the banners of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha Non-Political (SKM NP) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM), began a foot march toward the National Capital, Delhi, from the Shambhu border. However, their efforts were thwarted by Haryana police preparations. On two previous attempts, the protesting farmers were similarly unable to cross the heavy barricading set up by Haryana police at the Ghaggar River bridge on National Highway (NH) 44, as they lacked permission to enter Delhi.
Anticipating that the protest could lead to tension, annoyance, agitation, damage to public and private property, and a disturbance of public peace and tranquility in Ambala district, the Haryana government suspended internet services in villages near the Shambhu border. The government apprehends that internet can be misused to spread inflammatory material and false rumours through various social media platforms for facilitation and mobilisation of “mobs of agitators and demonstrators who can cause serious loss of life, damage to public and private properties by indulging in arson or vandalism and other violent activities”.
Earlier on Friday, Ambala superintendent of police (SP) had appealed to protesting farmers to be obedient to law and order and that they would not be allowed to cross over to Ambala side without permission.
“I appeal to all farmer brothers that they should follow the provisions made in the law. They should take permission and protest, nobody has an objection in the same. A petition with regards to opening passage through Shambhu border is already pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the July 24 order of the Court clearly orders to maintain the present status," said Ambala SP Surinder Singh Bhoria.

Overlooked for cabinet berth, Shiv Sena MLA quits party posts
Overlooked for cabinet berth, Shiv Sena MLA quits party posts
Mumbai, Shiv Sena MLA Narendra Bhondekar has resigned from all party posts while expressing disappointment at not being included in the Maharashtra cabinet.
Speaking to reporters in Bhandara on Sunday, Bhondekar, who was the Shiv Sena's deputy leader and co-ordinator for eastern Vidarbha districts, claimed his party head and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had promised him a cabinet berth.
Bhondekar said he aspired to secure a cabinet berth to become the guardian minister of Bhandara district and work for its development.
He won from the Bhandara constituency by defeating his Congress rival by more than 38,000 votes in the November 20 state polls.
A total of 39 legislators from Mahayuti allies were sworn in on Sunday in the first cabinet expansion of the Devendra Fadnavis-led ministry including 16 new faces, while 10 former ministers were excluded.
While the BJP secured 19 ministerial berths by virtue of being the largest party among allies, Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party were allotted 11 and 9 berths, respectively. Bhondekar said, "I joined the Shiv Sena on the condition that I would be given a cabinet berth. Shinde had even promised me the same. When Shinde became chief minister in the previous government, I was an independent MLA and extended support to him."
The Sena leader claimed his name was also considered for a ministerial position during the last cabinet expansion .
"When I reviewed the cabinet list and realised I was omitted, I decided to step down from all positions in the party," he said.
Bhondekar said he intended to secure a cabinet post to become the guardian minister of Bhandara district, but he will now serve as an ordinary party worker.
Bhandara district consistently had an outsider as the guardian minister for several years. Such a practice has hindered the resolution of issues affecting the district, he claimed.
"I no longer have the mindset to hold any official position. I have submitted my resignation to my party leaders and await their response," Bhondekar said.

New Haven, Connecticut, Usa / El Fasher / Zamzam Camp — In the wake of consistent testimony of heavy shelling of the North Darfur capital El Fasher, and the nearby ZamZam camp for internally displaced people over the past days, a new report published on Friday by the Yale School of Public Health's Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL), which includes satellite imagery, and cites coverage by Radio Dabanga, confirms "large-scale displacement of an unknown number of civilians from Zamzam IDP camp following repeated heavy artillery bombardment over 12 days by Rapid Support Forces (RSF)".
As reported by Radio Dabanga last week, at least seven people were killed in southwestern El Fasher on Monday due to artillery shelling, while at least one person died in Sudanese Air Force strikes on Tuesday that destroyed the Tijani zawiya in eastern El Fasher. Sudan War Monitor estimates that nearly 200 people were killed this week due to airstrikes in North Darfur. The Yale report assesses the death toll of 13 December at 73, with 376 injured.
The RSF also resumed heavy artillery attacks on Zamzam camp on Wednesday morning, according to sources from the camp, who told Radio Dabanga that at least eight people were killed, many injured, and extensive damage caused to homes. While residents accuse the RSF of targeting civilians, the RSF claims they are targeting Sudanese Joint Force (formerly the Darfur Joint Force) bases in the camp, and accuse their opponents of using displaced civilians as human shields.
Satellite imagery accompanying a report published on Friday by the Yale School of Public Health's Humanitarian Research Lab (Yale HRL) in the USA, which includes several citations of community-driven Radio Dabanga coverage, corroborated the presence of heavy AH4 155mm howitzer artillery pieces, capable of firing up to five shells per minute with a range of up to 40 kilometres.
The latest report corroborates the findings of an earlier Yale HRL report 10 days ago, that reveal the scale of destruction inflicted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attack on Zamzam camp, which houses between 500,000 and one million people.
Yale HRL has identified and located four heavy artillery pieces consistent with an AH4 155 mm howitzer. "Based on available data, Yale HRL assesses that these artillery pieces are likely engaged in the ongoing bombardment campaign on Zamzam, which has reportedly killed 73 people and injured 376 others as of 13 December... This marks the first time that these weapons have been identified in the current conflict in Sudan. According to publicly available sources reviewed by HRL, the United Arab Emirates is the only country known to have purchased the AH4 from China."
The Yale HRL report underscores that "many civilians are still trapped in El Fasher and Zamzam. They are subject to ongoing attacks, including those from the heavy artillery positioned within range of both locations. Some civilians are attempting to escape along remote and dangerous routes. Individuals who were able to leave Zamzam likely have extremely limited resources to complete this journey. In a region already suffering famine and near-famine conditions, the capacity of any location to support large numbers of IDPs is unknown."
Evacuation from Zamzam
Yale HRL identifies a large-scale evacuation of internally displaced people (IDPs) from Zamzam camp in satellite imagery captured on 12 December 2024. This convoy includes vehicles, carts likely pulled by donkeys, and people on foot fleeing to the southeast. This is the most significant displacement exiting the area that Yale HRL has identified through satellite imagery analysis since attacks on Zamzam started on 1 December 2024. There is observed activity consistent with displacement near Zamzam that Yale HRL is not releasing due to human security concerns.
Yale HRL has assessed significant freedom of movement restrictions between Zamzam and Tawilah, North Darfur since 1 December 2024, when Zamzam IDP camp was first attacked. These restrictions include increased checkpoint activity and roadblocks along the road between Zamzam and Tawilah.
RSF Artillery
Yale HRL identifies the presence of four heavy artillery pieces located approximately 25 km northeast of El Fasher and 35km from Zamzam IDP camp. These artillery pieces are consistent with a Norinco AH4 with maximum operational range of 40 km. No other artillery has been observed in available satellite imagery within range capable of conducting these fire missions. These four heavy artillery pieces consistent with AH4 are first visible in satellite imagery on 11 November 2024. Three of the four artillery have maintained a continuous ongoing presence in satellite imagery between 11 November - 13 December 2024. One artillery piece is absent between 17 November - 9 December 2024, and an identical artillery piece returns to the location and is visible in satellite imagery on 10 December 2024. All four artillery pieces have pointed their gun barrels along a southwest vector when present in at least two identified positions since 17 November 2024. El Fasher and Zamzam are within firing range of a Norinco AH4 from these positions. All four artillery pieces were located outside visibly populated areas throughout the period of observation.
These artillery pieces are assessed to be consistent with an AH4 based on dimensions, the configuration of the trails (legs), and its towing configuration and the size and density of the recoil system. Yale HRL analyzed a range of alternatives from the known inventories that have been deployed in Sudan over the past 30 years. These candidate artillery pieces include the D30 (seen in El Fasher and in other contexts across Sudan), the M-46, and the D-74. Other artillery including the M777 and others were considered after Yale HRL dismissed the D-30, M-46, and D-74 as candidates. All other candidates were dismissed based on (a) towing configuration; (b) barrel length); (c) trail configuration; and (d) the size and density of the recoil system. The AH4 is assessed to be consistent with the artillery pieces present over the M777 based on (c) the trail configuration and (d) the size and density of the recoil system.
Yale HRL's high-confidence assessment that these weapons are consistent with an AH4 was determined and reviewed by multiple Yale HRL analysts. Yale HRL's AH4 assessment was then reviewed and confirmed by three external experts, each with decades of experience identifying comparable weapons in satellite imagery. These outside experts independently verified Yale HRL's weapon typing as consistent with an AH4.
The AH4 155m howitzer has a 40 km maximum range; however, it is more effective at a 25 km range.8 The AH4 is produced by China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (Norinco), a Chinese company and similar to the United Kingdom/United States-manufactured M777. The M777 is known to be operated by Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, India, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and United States.9 The UAE is the only known entity to have publicly purchased or be operating the AH4 as of February 2019,10 and it has been reportedly used in Yemen.11 Yale HRL has not identified another publicly known operator of the AH4 other than the UAE and China.12 The United States Army's OE Data Integration Network (ODIN TRADOC) has identified that the AH4's proliferation is currently only known to include China and United Arab Emirates as of "Proliferation: China, United Arab Emirates."13
Attacks on Zamzam
Yale HRL corroborates reports of ongoing bombardment of Zamzam IDP Camp. Analysis of satellite imagery shows conflict-related damage from likely RSF shelling to structures in Zamzam IDP Camp between 1-5 and 9-11 December 2024. These findings corroborate reports that Zamzam has been attacked at least three times since Yale HRL's latest report on 3 December 2024.14 On 13 December 2024, the Ministry of Health in North Darfur reported that artillery shelling since 1 December had killed 73 people and injured 376 others.15 This number may be an underestimate.
Attacks on El Fasher
Additional conflict-related damage in El Fasher is also visible in satellite imagery. Analysis of satellite imagery between 3-5 December 2024 shows conflict-related damage to the livestock market, as well as new munition impacts and thermal scarring at the SAF 6th Division Base in El Fasher. These findings corroborate local media reports of RSF shelling toward the livestock market and 6th Division during this time period.16 Analysis of satellite imagery between 6-8 December 2024 shows damage to the State Radio and Television Authority, corroborating reports of an RSF suicide drone attack that damaged these buildings and facility equipment on 8 December 2024.17 Yale HRL also identifies conflict-related damage to the old UNAMID compound, located on at the southern exit of the B-26 road to Zamzam IDP camp and outside the Al-Saudi hospital between 3-5 December and 5-6 December 2024, respectively.
Human Security Analysis
The ongoing bombardment of Zamzam IDP camp will continue to result in civilian casualties, including fatalities, and increase the level of displacement of civilians from Zamzam into the surrounding area and beyond. The displacement of civilians from Zamzam IDP camp will likely make an already highly vulnerable population that has been deprived of basic nutrition for months even more vulnerable to attack, illness, and death from lack of basic humanitarian assistance. The current situation is untenable for civilians trapped in Zamzam, El Fasher, and other IDP camps as well as those civilians Yale HRL is monitoring fleeing from the area. The international community must act now if civilian lives are to be protected and urgently needed humanitarian assistance is to be provisioned, the report says.

When Donald Trump sued ABC News over defamation it seemed like it would be one more Trump lawsuit that made a lot of noise and wouldn’t go anywhere. And if you had to take bets, basing it on previous media behavior, you’d bet on it going to trial, and appeals.
So there were shockwaves when – days before the slated deposition of Trump and ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos — ABC announced it was settling the lawsuit and that it would pay $15 million to the Donald Trump library.
ABC News is set to pay $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald J. Trump.
The agreement was a significant concession by a major news organization and a rare victory for a media-bashing politician whose previous litigation efforts against news outlets have often ended in defeat.
Under the terms of a settlement revealed on Saturday, ABC News will donate the $15 million to Mr. Trump’s future presidential foundation and museum. The network and its star anchor, George Stephanopoulos, also published a statement saying they “regret” remarks made about Mr. Trump during a televised interview in March.
ABC News, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, will pay Mr. Trump an additional $1 million for his legal fees.
The outcome is an unusual win for Mr. Trump, who has frequently sued news organizations for defamation and frequently lost, including in litigation against CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Several experts in media law said they believed that ABC News could have continued to fight, given the high threshold required by the courts for a public figure like Mr. Trump to prove defamation. A plaintiff must not only show that a news outlet published false information, but that it did so knowing that the information was false or with substantial doubts about its accuracy.
“Major news organizations have often been very leery of settlements in defamation suits brought by public officials and public figures, both because they fear the dangerous pattern of doing so and because they have the full weight of the First Amendment on their side,” said RonNell Andersen Jones, a professor of law at the University of Utah.
“What we might be seeing here is an attitudinal shift,” she added. “Compared to the mainstream American press of a decade ago, today’s press is far less financially robust, far more politically threatened, and exponentially less confident that a given jury will value press freedom, rather than embrace a vilification of it.”
In other words: another norm has bitten the dust.
ABC News did not elaborate on Saturday about its precise reasons for settling. “We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing,” a network spokeswoman said. A lawyer for Mr. Trump declined to comment on the agreement.
Mr. Trump sued ABC and Mr. Stephanopoulos in March, after the anchor asked Representative Nancy Mace, Republican of South Carolina, who has spoken publicly about being raped as a teenager, why she had continued to support Mr. Trump after he was found “liable for rape” in a 2023 civil case in Manhattan.
In that case, a federal jury found Mr. Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll, but it did not find him liable for rape. Still, the judge who oversaw the proceeding later clarified that because of New York’s narrow legal definition of rape, the jury’s verdict did not mean that Ms. Carroll had “failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’”
Why did ABC News settle? There are all kinds of theories:
Indeed, Trump has long talked about defamation laws and the press and it’s likely more defamation suits will come. David Enrich in The New York Times:
The legal threats have arrived in various forms. One aired on CNN. Another came over the phone. More arrived in letters or emails.
All of them appeared aimed at intimidating news outlets and others who have criticized or questioned President-elect Donald J. Trump and his nominees to run the Pentagon and F.B.I.
The small flurry of threatened defamation lawsuits is the latest sign that the incoming Trump administration appears poised to do what it can to crack down on unfavorable media coverage. Before and after the election, Mr. Trump and his allies have discussed subpoenaing news organizations, prosecuting journalists and their sources, revoking networks’ broadcast licenses and eliminating funding for public radio and television.
Actual or threatened libel lawsuits are another weapon at their disposal — and they are being deployed even before Mr. Trump moves back into the White House.
It is notoriously difficult for public figures like Mr. Trump to win defamation lawsuits. Under longstanding Supreme Court precedent — which Mr. Trump and some of his allies want to see weakened or overturned — plaintiffs must prove that a publisher knew a defamatory statement was false or acted with reckless disregard for its accuracy.
But that high bar has not stopped a wide range of politicians, business leaders and others from threatening or filing such suits — a strategy that often seems tailored to cause news outlets and individuals to rein in aggressive coverage of the public figures.
The strategy can pay other dividends as well.
On Saturday, ABC News said it had agreed to give $15 million to Mr. Trump’s future presidential foundation and museum to settle a defamation suit that Mr. Trump filed against the network and one of its anchors, George Stephanopoulos. Mr. Trump sued in March after Mr. Stephanopoulos inaccurately said the former president had been found “liable for rape” in a civil trial in New York, though the judge in the case later noted that the state has a narrow legal definition of rape. In fact, Mr. Trump had been found liable for sexual abuse.
The settlement followed months of attacks by Mr. Trump and his allies on ABC News, with the once and future president going so far as to say that the network should lose its federal broadcast license.
The deal set off criticism of ABC News by those who perceived the network as needlessly bowing down to Mr. Trump. And it led some legal and media experts to wonder whether the outcome would embolden Mr. Trump and others to intensify their assault on the media, at a moment when many news organizations are struggling with declining public trust and deteriorating finances.
Even before the settlement was reached, Elizabeth McNamara, a prominent media lawyer, said she expected that the trend “is only going to increase,” given the political environment.
[,,,]Over the past several weeks, lawyers for Mr. Trump and two of his most high-profile nominees — Pete Hegseth, the potential defense secretary, and Kash Patel, whom Mr. Trump has picked to run the F.B.I. — warned journalists and others of defamation lawsuits for what they had said or written.
Mr. Hegseth, until recently a Fox News host, was accused of sexual assault in 2017. While he denies the allegation, he struck a confidential settlement with his accuser.
In an interview on CNN this month, Mr. Hegseth’s lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, said the woman was free to speak publicly. But, he warned, “if she repeats these false statements, then she will be subject to a defamation lawsuit.”
Newsweek reports that ABC is receiving backlash from Democrats and Republicans:
“People are not going to forget what ABC did,” the Republicans Against Trump X, formerly Twitter, account said.
Conservative political scientist Norman Jay Ornstein added: “Add ABC to the basket of cowards in our media.”
Democratic attorney Marc Elias wrote: “Knee bent. Ring kissed. Another legacy news outlet chooses obedience.”
Reporter Oliver Willis also chimed in, writing on Threads: “This is actually how democracy dies.”
Tech reporter Matt Novak said: “Not good for the rest of us when you do this s***, ABC.”
“But that’s probably half the point from management’s perspective,” he added Saturday.

Legal experts also criticized the broadcaster for settling the lawsuit before depositions were due to take place.
Former prosecutor Joyce Vance said: “I’m old enough to remember—and to have worked on—cases where newspapers vigorously defended themselves against defamation cases instead of folding before the defendant was even deposed.”
“That, by the way, includes defamation cases brought by candidates for the presidency,” she then added.
Legal analyst Allison Gill, known online as Mueller, She Wrote, said: “This is so gross.”
“And it keeps happening. Why not depose him?” she asked. “The case wouldn’t cost more than $15M and ABC would have won if they bothered fighting.”
The analyst then added, “I don’t get it.”
Human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid said: “This is the cowardice of legacy media out to make profit, rather than uphold principle. The ongoing failure of legacy media is a stark reminder that independent and independently funded voices are now more critical than ever before.”
It’s another sign of how easy norms are shattered under Donald Trump – and perhaps another display of the weakness of American democracy’s highly touted “guardrails.”
ABC News talent and staff I’ve been talking to over the past few hours are stunned and furious about this settlement.
Their anger primarily stems from the fact that they have faced repeated budget and compensation cuts in recent years, experienced layoffs, and yet the network —… https://t.co/m5RJCmR6Su

JIND: Haryana's Jind-based Majra Khap Panchayat (a social clan council) has demanded an apology from Rajya Sabha MP Ram Chandra Jangra for his controversial remarks. The MP had referred to farmers as "butchers" and alleged that 700 girls went missing during the farmers' movement at Tikri and Singhu borders, holding the farmers' protest responsible. Khap leaders strongly condemned these statements, accusing the MP of consistently misrepresenting farmers during the 2020-21 movement.
Majra
Khap Panchayat president Gurvinder Singh Sandhu and general secretary Mahendra Singh Saharan questioned Jangra's claims, emphasising that the farmers' movement was a legitimate struggle for their rights. They highlighted that the government ultimately acknowledged the farmers' demands and even issued an apology. "During the movement, 750 farmers became martyrs due to the government's obstinacy. Had the government accepted the demands earlier, these lives could have been saved. Should the government, then, also be called butchers?" they asked.
Regarding the claim of 700 missing girls, the Khap leaders demanded evidence. "If Jangra has proof, he should release the FIR reports. Otherwise, he should watch his words. Farmers are the backbone of the nation and providers of food. He should apologize to the farming community," they stated. They also urged the Prime Minister to discipline such MPs, whose statements misrepresent farmers and tarnish the government's image.
Majra Khap Panchayat spokesperson Samudra Singh Phor warned that Haryana's leaders who oppose farmers will lose their political footing. "Farmers have recently shown leaders their place—those who called the movement a disease or insulted the women of farming families are nowhere to be seen today. Farmers deserve respect," Phor said. He also appealed to Prime Minister Modi to address ongoing protests at Haryana's borders, where unresolved issues persist despite promises made to farmers.
Phor pointed to farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike for 19 days, with his condition reportedly critical. "The government should take responsibility for his life. If anything happens to him, it will leave an indelible stain on the Modi government," he warned.
The Khap leaders also criticised the Haryana government’s misleading claims about providing Minimum Support Price
(MSP). They alleged that only a small percentage of crops are bought at MSP and farmers are often forced to sell at lower prices due to pretexts like moisture content. Additionally, they highlighted the issue of black-market fertilizer sales during sowing seasons, leaving farmers struggling for supplies.
They further condemned the imposition of fines and cases on farmers for stubble burning while industries, which contribute significantly more to pollution, face no penalties. "Farmers account for only 8% of pollution, while industries contribute 51% and transport 25%. Penalizing farmers alone is unjust," they asserted.

iPhone 17 Air Price Leaked Ahead Of 2025 Launch, May Cost Around Rs 90,000 In India: All We Know So Far
iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch display and a single rear camera. It is expected to be one of three devices in 2025 that will feature Apple's custom modem chip.

2025 is almost here and leaks around Apple’s next-generation iPhone 17 series are surfacing almost every week. The Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to launch four models – iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in September 2035. Previous reports revealed that Apple is replacing the Plus variant with the iPhone 17 Air, which is rumoured to have a thickness of just 5mm to 6mm, making it the thinnest iPhone ever. Now, a new report by The Wall Street Journal has revealed the pricing of Apple’s slimmest iPhone. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to cost less than the Pro models, with a likely price of around Rs 90,000 in India.
iPhone 17 Air Leaks
Recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also revealed that the iPhone 17 Air could be about two millimeters thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25mm thick, so if the iPhone 17 is 2mm thinner, it would be around 6.25mm thick.
At 6.25mm, the iPhone 17 Air would become Apple's thinnest iPhone ever. The thinnest iPhone so far was the iPhone 6, which was 6.9mm thick. iPhones have become thicker since the iPhone X as Apple increased the size to fit larger batteries, better cameras, Face ID hardware, and other features.
According to MacRumors, Apple will use its own custom-designed 5G modem chip for the iPhone 17 Air. This chip is said to be smaller than Qualcomm's 5G modem chips. the iPhone maker has reportedly designed the chip to integrate better with other Apple components, which saves space inside the phone. This space-saving design is what makes the slim iPhone 17 Air possible, without compromising on battery life, camera performance, or display quality.
Reports also suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch display and a single rear camera. It is expected to be one of three devices in 2025 that will feature Apple's custom modem chip.
Apple is also planning two foldable devices for release later, according to the The Wall Street Journal. It said one of the devices will essentially be the largest-ever MacBook with a foldable 19-inch screen, while the other is a foldable iPhone that would unfold to have an inwards-facing display that is larger than the one on the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max.

AMRITSAR: A 22-year-old Punjabi girl student, who was pursuing a hospitality management course in British Columbia, tragically lost her life after a tree fell on her at James Lake where she had gone with friends for a late-night bonfire.
The Canadian media reports quoting Royal Canadian Mounted Police say that Ritika lived in Kelowna, British Columbia, and had died on December 7. The incident has been deemed nonsuspicious, says the media reports quoting RCMP.
The media reports also quote that a common friend Amarjit Lalli who is trying to raise funds to send the body of Ritika back to India.
Balwinder (Bob) Heer, based in Surrey, is organizing a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe on behalf of Lalli to repatriate the body of Ritika Rajput to her home in India. He writes: "We are reaching out to you during an incredibly difficult time, with heavy hearts and a deep sense of loss. Ritika Rajput, a 22-year-old international student, was a compassionate, hardworking young woman whose presence touched the lives of many."
A local resident Jaspal Singh informed that Ritika passed away on December 7 in Kelowna, British Columbia, after a tree collapsed and struck her in a fatal accident and there is a pall of gloom on her family back home in India.
Quoting his local friends, he said that Ritika's family in India comes from a low-income background. Her mother, Kiran Rajput, stitches clothes to make ends meet, and the family had to take out a loan to send Ritika to Canada for her education. "This tragedy has left Ritika's family devastated, and they do not have the financial means to bring their daughter's body back from Canada," said Jaspal.
Balwinder says “This campaign will also help pay off Rittika’s educational debt, legal costs, and other unforeseen financial challenges. As a community, we have the opportunity to come together and support Rittika’s mother in their time of need”.

Sri Lanka president visits India in first overseas trip, to meet PM Modi later today
Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he had held "productive discussions" with India's finance foreign ministers, as well as national security adviser Ajit Doval.
Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake was in India Monday for his first overseas visit as head of state, vowing to bolster ties between the neighbours.
Leaders of the island nation typically make their first visit to regional powerhouse India, which competes with China for influence in the Indian Ocean.
Leftist Dissanayake, who came to power in September on a pledge to fight corruption, is expected to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi later Monday.
Dissanayake said he had held "productive discussions" with India's finance foreign ministers, as well as national security adviser Ajit Doval.
"Our conversations focused on strengthening Indo-Sri Lanka economic cooperation, enhancing investment opportunities, fostering regional security, and advancing key sectors such as tourism and energy," Dissanayake said in a statement.
"These engagements reaffirm the commitment to deepening the partnership between our two nations."
New Delhi has been concerned about Beijing's growing hold in Sri Lanka.
India has stepped up infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka in recent years, but China is Sri Lanka's largest bilateral lender.
Dissanayake is expected to travel to Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders in early 2025.
Sri Lanka suffered its worst financial crisis in 2022 when it ran out of foreign exchange to pay for essential imports such as food, fuel and medicines, and defaulted on its $46 billion foreign debt.

CHENNAI: Two policemen risked their lives to save a 58-year-old man who drove his sedan into the flooded Adalayampet causeway in Mogappair and got trapped in the wee hours of Saturday.
The police personnel waded through the gushing waters, broke open the rear window panes, and managed to bring him out. The vehicle, stopped from plunging into the river by a retaining wall, was later retrieved using an excavator.
The recent spells of rain had inundated several causeways across the Cooum, leading to temporary closures. The Adalayampet causeway, a route connecting Nolambur, Mogappair and a few other nearby areas, was barricaded due to the river's overflow.
However, the barricades were reportedly left open by workers who crossed over on foot. "The water was flowing two feet above the causeway, which is four feet above the river," said a Maduravoyal police officer.
Around 4am on Saturday, a car sped past a patrol vehicle stationed as a precaution and entered the flooded causeway. Head constable Kannan and grade 1 constable Satish Kumar immediately ran after it. "The policemen borrowed ropes from nearby construction workers. Kannan tied one end around his waist, and Satish secured the other. Together, they waded through hip-deep water to reach the car. Kannan smashed open the rear window with his bare hands and pulled the driver to safety," said an officer.
The driver was identified as Sunil Varghese Thomas, a resident of Mogappair West. "He went to work in Kancheepuram on Friday when the causeway was dry and open. On his return, he didn't realise water was gushing across it," added the officer.
Meanwhile, members of the public alerted the police control room. "The highways patrol team brought in an excavator to remove the car. Without the retaining wall, the car would have been swept away, and the driver's life would have been in grave danger," the officer said.

A somber mood has settled over the home of the late Frank Nabwiso, a veteran Forum for Democratic Change politician and former Member of Parliament for Kagoma County in Jinja District.
Dr. Nabwiso's death has sent shockwaves through the opposition and beyond, with many mourning the loss of a respected leader and intellectual.
Former Iganga chairperson Patrick Kayemba described him as a historian and economist whose contributions were invaluable to both Busoga and Uganda.
"He was a beacon of wisdom and a champion for development, whose tireless efforts uplifted countless lives," Kayemba said.
He added that Busoga and the nation have lost an exceptional leader, a mentor, and a patriot whose legacy will inspire generations to come.
Iganga NRM chairperson Hajji Abubakar Walubi called on the government to cover the burial expenses, emphasizing the need to honor such a distinguished figure.
Born into a family of 12 children, Dr. Nabwiso rose from humble beginnings to achieve remarkable accomplishments as an academic and politician.
He earned a PhD in Adult Education and Rural Development and served as Vice Chancellor of Busoga University, where he championed higher education in the region.
Mourners at the home of the late Nabwiso During his tenure in Parliament, he was known for advocating democratic principles and rural development, cementing his reputation as a true champion of the people.
Beyond politics, he played a significant role in resolving internal party disputes, including chairing the committee that investigated Dr. Kizza Besigye's allegations regarding FDC leadership's receipt of government campaign funds for the 2021 elections.
Even after his passing, Dr. Nabwiso's insights into Uganda's political landscape and his call for electoral reforms remain profoundly relevant.
As the nation mourns, his family and loved ones are left with cherished memories of a life dedicated to service. Funeral arrangements are yet to be announced.

MUMBAI, Dec 16 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee, having witnessed slight relief late last week, is likely to come under renewed strain on Monday on the back of a further rise in U.S. Treasury yields.
The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicate that the rupee will open at 84.82-84.83 to the U.S. dollar compared with its previous close of 84.7875.
The local currency inched up 0.1% on Friday, thanks to likely dollar sales by the central bank and possible inflows, according to traders.
"In the context" of how persistent the pressure has been on the rupee, Friday's recovery "was respectable", a currency trader at a bank said.
That recovery will have to contend with "similar forces" of "an environment that favours the dollar", he said.
Asian currencies began the week on the defensive, pressed by U.S. yields. The 10-year U.S. yield rose seven basis points on Friday and 25 bps over the week.
Worries over possible inflationary pressures and the U.S. deficit on account of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's policies are factors being cited by analysts that may be undermining demand for Treasuries.
This week, the focus will be on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision due on Wednesday. With a 25 bps rate cut fully been priced in, what investors will be watching for is the outlook for next year.
"With inflation remaining sticky, and President-elect Trump looking to strengthen the U.S. growth performance, the Fed is set to signal a more cautious policy easing profile for 2025," ING Bank said in a note.
The bank reckons the Fed will signal only three rate cuts in 2025 compared to four previously. Meanwhile, India's forex reserves India's foreign exchange reserves dropped to multi-month lows amid dollar sales by the central bank to support the rupee. The Reserve Bank of India's fx intervention is being challenged by domestic and global headwinds.
KEY INDICATORS:
** One-month non-deliverable rupee forward at 85.00; onshore one-month forward premium at 16.5 paisa
** Dollar index at 106.85
** Brent crude futures down 0.2% at $74.3 per barrel
** Ten-year U.S. note yield at 4.3920%
** As per NSDL data, foreign investors sold a net $419.9 mln worth of Indian shares on Dec. 12
** NSDL data shows foreign investors sold a net $35.6 mln worth of Indian bonds on Dec. 12

At the burial of Hajj Ali Nganda, father of Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago criticized Uganda's current leadership, accusing President Museveni of perpetuating "family rule."
Lukwago claimed that key national institutions are under the control of the President's family members, a situation he described as detrimental to democracy and progress.
"All top institutions have been given to Museveni's family members," Lukwago said.
"The Ministry of Education is led by his wife, Janet Kataha Museveni, who stopped in Senior Three.
"His son, Muhoozi, is the Chief of Defence Forces. Operation Wealth Creation is managed by his brother, General Salim Saleh, and now his son-in-law, Rwabogo, is in charge of Uganda's coffee sector."
He commended the late Hajji Ali Nganda for raising principled and courageous children, particularly Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, whom he praised for exposing corruption within government circles, including the State House. Lukwago remarked,
"It was Ssemujju who revealed the scale of corruption in this government, even down to the President's wardrobe. We have done our part; now it's up to others to continue the fight."
The burial, held at Hajji Nganda's home, brought together political, religious, and community leaders to pay their respects.
Despite the somber occasion, it became a platform for voicing criticism of the ruling NRM government and calling for change.
Ssemujju Nganda refrained from political commentary during his eulogy, instead emphasizing his father's generosity and selflessness.
"Our father was a kind man who prioritized helping others, even when it meant we at home had to go without," he said, urging attendees to pray for his father's soul and ask Allah for mercy and forgiveness.
Lukwago also delivered a message from Dr. Kizza Besigye, who could not attend the funeral. Besigye's message called for unity among opposition forces and encouraged steadfastness in the struggle for change.
Religious leaders present, including Imam Idd Kasozzi and Sheikh Sulait Ssentongo, the Supreme Khadi of Masaka Region, urged Ugandans to embrace self-reliance and work hard rather than depend on government handouts.
Hajji Ali Nganda's family described him as a man of integrity and compassion. According to his children, his death was due to natural aging rather than illness.
He leaves behind a legacy of kindness and a large family of over 30 children.

CHENNAI: Less than two years after he joined Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, the party’s deputy general secretary Aadhav Arjuna resigned from the primary membership of the party on Sunday.
The resignation comes days after he was suspended from VCK and hours after VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan said Aadhav Arjuna’s controversial remarks even after suspension indicate that he has an agenda of his own.
``I don’t have any agenda except the growth of VCK,’’ Aadhav Arjuna said in his resignation letter sent to Thirumavalavan. ``I was drawn towards VCK by its philosophy of power for people who were discriminated against due to caste hegemony for ages. I never had any difference of opinion with VCK’s ideology,’’ he said.
Aadhav Arjuna said that his moral anger and his comments against anti-people activities sparked debates. ``After a point, the discussions took a turn creating a rift between you and me, which I did not like,’’ he said, explaining the reason for the resignation.
The 42-year-old athlete turned businessman became a political strategist and worked for DMK in the 2021 assembly elections. It was during this period that he got introduced to Thirumavalavan. He joined VCK in 2023 and was made deputy general secretary during VCK’s Vellum Jananayagam conference in January this year. Aadhav is also the son-in-law of lottery baron Santiago Martin.
Aadhav’s comments over the past few months targeting the DMK, particularly his dig at deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, during the argument for a share in power for VCK did not go down well with DMK. The rift widened after he shared the stage with TVK president Vijay at the launch of a book on Ambedkar on Dec 6. In the event, Aadhav said `monarchy’ would be brought down in 2026, which was seen as a direct attack on VCK ally DMK. After a lot of intra-party deliberations, Thirumavalavan suspended him for six months for the remarks on December 9.
But Aadhav continued his criticism of DMK even after the suspension. Thirumavalavan said on Sunday morning that the remarks against DMK even after suspension indicated Aadhav had an agenda of his own. Within hours after Thirumavalavan’s statement, Aadhav tendered the resignation.
In the resignation letter, Aadhav recalled that his association with VCK began as a strategist, then a member and the party’s deputy general secretary. ``I served in the post with dedication for the past two years,’’ he said.
Aadhav said he wants to travel alongside Thiruma in future in the political fight against caste, communal majoritarianism, discrimination of women and corruption. ``Hence, I have decided to relieve myself completely from VCK to put an end to unnecessary controversies around me in public forums,’’ he said. ``I have taken this decision with a heavy heart considering the circumstances,’ he added.
Aadhav said his political journey would continue for democracy, equality and equal justice.

Nutritionist recommends 6 diet habits that changed her life: ‘I order a kid’s size of my Starbucks drink’
Nutritionist recommended essential habits to shape the diet plan into a more effective one.
Proper diet is integral to achieving weight loss goals. It nourishes the body and supports the intensive workout routine. The weight loss journey is more holistic, an amalgamation of discipline, diet, workout and more. Dietary requirements should be carefully considered when creating a diet plan, whether it involves including essential nutrients like protein or avoiding absolute red flags such as sugar. Dr Rachel Paul, a nutritionist, recently took to Instagram to share six weight-loss habits related to diet that she says ‘changed her life.’
ALSO READ: Lose 10-15 kgs easily before 2024 ends? Dietitian shares 30-day weight loss meal plan
1. Eating more protein
Protein is something that can’t be missed. Dr Paul stressed this, highlighting the importance of increasing protein intake in your diet. Protein supports the rigorous workout routine as well, maintaining energy levels. Protein also helps curb hunger pangs.
She wrote, “When I wasn’t eating enough protein I had low energy, I couldn’t concentrate, and I was hungry. I now know that I need a lot of protein to stay full and help keep my total calories in check. I eat eggs, chicken, ground beef, canned salmon, all day long.”
2. Buying ‘easy’ protein
Diet doesn't necessarily have to be complicated, Dr Paul suggested buying easy protein that requires low effort. She explained, “I’m busy, I know you’re busy too! Let’s make this easy. I stock up on rotisserie chicken, single-serving yogurts, canned salmons, sausages, etc.”
3. Reducing sugar
One of the fundamental, cardinal rules of dieting is cutting back on sugar. Numerous nutritionists and weight loss coaches reiterate this point. But it’s easier said than done when the sweet tooth cravings feel too overwhelming. The main difference lies in the portion. Dr Paul addressed this and said, “I love sugar and I still eat it all the time every day, but I’ve reduced it in small ways throughout my day. I order a kid’s size of my Starbucks drink, I use no-sugar condiments like Primal Kitchen ketchup, I buy single serving ice creams instead of eating from the tub.”
4. Not overbuying groceries
Overeating can derail the dieting efforts. Portion control is important to maintain consistency with the diet. The nutritionist recommended a unique way to control overeating by not stocking up on groceries in excess. As they say, ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ which helps prevent temptation. She wrote, "I’m much more realistic now with how often I’m going to eat out- and I don’t buy groceries for extra meals. If I have extra groceries in my fridge it stresses me out and I tend to overeat!”
5. Becoming a ‘food snob’
The nutritionist introduced the concept of ‘food snob.’ She explained, "Instead of eating foods I didn’t truthfully like the taste of, but I felt I “should” eat because they were “healthy,” I focused on foods I really enjoyed. This way I was much more satisfied with my meals- and wasn’t looking for another bite (or 10!) of food to satisfy my taste buds. When you’re enjoying your meals- it’s so much easier to be consistent with your healthy habits.”
6. Using volumetrics
Diet doesn’t necessarily always revolve around compact portions. Dr Paul wrote, “I like eating a lot of food- small portions just don’t work for me. For many starches (grains and starchy veggies), I swap them out for larger portions of non-starchy vegetables. Often the calories and total carbohydrates are the same- but I get to eat a bigger volume of food.”

Tamil Nadu has lost its position as the state with the maximum number of medical colleges or undergraduate medical seats. The health department has failed to add new medical colleges or increase seats in existing medical colleges in the past two years.
The Centre increased the number of MBBS seats from 108,940 in 2023-24 to 118,137 in 2024-25, said Union minister of state for health and family welfare Anupriya Patel in response to a question raised by Nagapattinam MP V. Selvaraj in Parliament. The approved 1.18 lakh seats comprise 60,422 seats in govt medical colleges and 57,715 seats in private medical colleges.
Karnataka has 12,545 medical seats, followed by 12,425 seats in Uttar Pradesh and 12,050 seats in Tamil Nadu. Maharashtra has 11,845 seats. All other states have fewer than 10,000 seats. Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland have 100 MBBS seats each.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) granted permission to 780 medical colleges in the country. Uttar Pradesh has 86 medical colleges, the highest number in the country, followed by Maharashtra (80) and Tamil Nadu (77). Karnataka has 73 medical colleges, and Telangana has 65. Andaman and Nicobar, Arunachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Dadra Nagar Haveli, Goa, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Sikkim have one medical college each.
The Centre provides financial and technical support to states and UTs to strengthen healthcare systems based on requirements posted by them in the programme implementation plans within their overall resource envelope. The NMC, while issuing a letter of permission to start a medical college, ensures the availability of faculty and other staff, as per their norms through physical assessment of the college.
Of the 76 medical colleges in the state, the health department runs 36. Since the establishment of eleven new colleges in 2021, no new govt colleges were started in TN.
Health minister Ma Subramanian said the state had sought funds from the Centre to start new colleges in six districts. "It is the policy of the state to start at least one medical college in every district. We make a request every time we meet the Union health minister. Our district collectors have also been asked to look for land parcels," he said. However, for nearly three years, there have been no additional seats in the govt medical colleges.
Director of Medical Education Dr J Sangumani had earlier told TOI that the state health department had sought NMC's approval to increase 50 undergraduate seats in each of the 11 medical colleges started in 2021. If this happened, Tamil Nadu would increase its seats in 36 govt medical colleges by 550 MBBS seats to 5,600 for admissions in 2025-26, he said.

Allen throws for 2 TDs, runs for 2 scores to lift Bills to 48-42 win that snaps Lions' streak
Allen throws for 2 TDs, runs for 2 scores to lift Bills to 48-42 win that snaps Lions' streak
DETROIT — Josh Allen ran for two scores in the first quarter and threw two touchdown passes in the second half, leading the Buffalo Bills to a 48-42 victory Sunday that snapped the Detroit Lions ' franchise-record 11-game winning streak.
The AFC East-champion Bills have won eight of nine, taking advantage of Allen's ability to make plays with his right arm and legs.
Allen was 23 of 34 for a season-high 362 yards with touchdown passes to Khalil Shakir and Ray Davis. The dual-threat quarterback ran 11 times for 68 yards and two scores a week after being the first NFL player to throw and run for three touchdowns in a regular-season game.
He extended a league record by throwing for multiple touchdowns and rushing for more than one score in six straight games.
Jared Goff matched a career high by throwing five touchdown passes for the NFC North-leading Lions , whose loss gives Minnesota a chance to pull into a tie for the division lead with a win against Chicago on Monday night at home.
Buffalo extended its franchise record with 30-plus points in its eighth straight game — becoming the first team since the 2013 Denver Broncos to pull off the feat — and scored the most points against Detroit this season.
Coming off a 44-42 setback against the Los Angeles Rams, the Bills were not as effective on defense.
Goff's fifth TD pass came with 12 seconds left when he connected with Jameson Williams from 3 yards with 12 seconds left, but the Lions couldn't recover the onside kick to set up a game-ending Hail Mary try.
The Bills joined the 1966 New York Giants as the only teams in NFL history to score 40-plus points and give up at least 40 points in consecutive games.
Allen's dazzling talents were the difference in a potential Super Bowl preview.
He threw a 33-yard pass to Ty Johnson on his second snap and converted a third down with another throw to the former Lions running back, picking up another 24 yards, after rolling right and showing patience before passing to set up a 1-yard sneak.
On the first snap of the next drive, Allen started in the shotgun and moved up in the pocket, backed up, rolled left and threw to his right on a 28-yard pass to running back James Cook. He ran untouched on a 4-yard touchdown run around the right side to give the Bills a 14-0 lead.
Detroit answered, pulling within a touchdown on Goff's 12-yard pass to Tim Patrick, but it couldn't slow the Bills when they had the ball.
Buffalo coach Sean McDermott chose to go for it on fourth-and-2 from his 49 on the ensuing possession and Allen found Johnson wide open for a 31-yard catch to set up James Cook's 6-yard touchdown run to restore a two-touchdown lead midway through the second quarter.
Lions coach Dan Campbell was aggressive as usual on the next drive, keeping the offense on the field with a fourth-and-4 from the Bills 46. Goff validated the decision with a 21-yard pass to Amon-Ra. St. Brown.
Goff threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dan Skipper five plays later, pulling off a trick play with a throw to an offensive lineman who reported in as eligible to pull within a touchdown.
Just when it looked as though the Lions might get routed in the second half, Goff converted a third-and-17 with a 66-yard touchdown pass to St. Brown.
The Bills, though, kept scoring.
Bills: WR Curtis Samuel , LBs Dorian Williams , LB Matt Milano and OT Spencer Brown were hurt during the game.
Lions: DB Khalil Dorsey was placed on a backboard and carted off the field late in the first half. ... CB Carlton Davis was also hurt in the second quarter. ... DT Alim McNeill left in the third quarter and didn't return.
Bills: Host New England on Sunday.
Lions: Play at Chicago on Sunday.

(Reuters) - Indian shares are likely to open little changed on Monday, in line with Asian peers, starting the week with a focus on the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting later this week and the imminent 25-basis-points interest rate cut.
The Gift Nifty futures were trading at 24,776, as of 8:10 a.m. IST, indicating that the benchmark Nifty 50 will open near Friday's close of 24,768.3.
On Friday, the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex notched their longest weekly winning run since July, helped by gains in consumer stocks on easing domestic retail inflation.
Before closing nearly 1% higher on Friday, the Nifty 50 traded in a narrow range of 180 points in the first four days of the week.
"Nifty seems to have got back its bullish momentum and is likely to head towards the next target of 25,000. Support for the index is seen at 24,500," said Devarsh Vakil, deputy head of retail research, HDFC Securities.
Meanwhile, investors' attention will be on the Fed's meeting on Wednesday, where the odds of a quarter of a percentage point rate cut is at 93%, according to CME FedWatch.
A Fed rate cut is supportive for domestic equities in general as it could bring foreign inflows. India's IT firms, which earn a significant share of their revenue from the U.S., could benefit from the cut, analysts said.
Asian markets were in a wary mood as surging bond yields challenged equity valuations, particularly for the richly priced tech sector, in a week packed with central bank meetings and major economic data. Wall Street closed flat on Friday. [MKTS/GLOB]
Domestic investors net sold Indian stocks worth 7.32 billion rupees ($86.3 million) on Friday, while foreign investors net purchased shares worth 23.35 billion rupees, exchange data showed.
STOCKS TO WATCH:
Reliance Industries: The oils-to-telecoms conglomerate bought a 74% stake in an industrial area developer in Mumbai for 16.28 billion rupees.
Lupin: Drugmaker acquired anti-diabetes trademarks from Boehringer Ingelheim.
JSW Steel: Indian financial crime-fighting agency restored assets worth 40.25 billion rupees of Bhushan Steel and Power to JSW Steel following approval from the Supreme Court, per multiple media reports.

Broadcaster apologizes for 'primate' comment about India star bowler Bumrah
Broadcaster apologizes for 'primate' comment about India star bowler Bumrah
BRISBANE, Australia — A broadcaster has apologized for referring to star India bowler Jasprit Bumrah as ‘primate’ during the third cricket test between Australia and India.
Former England bowler Isa Guha, who is part of Australia's Fox Sports cricket broadcast lineup made the inadvertent comment during the second day's play which attracted immediate criticism on social media.
“Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah,” Guha said on Sunday, where Bumrah had taken five wickets to again lead India's bowling attack.
At the start of Monday's broadcast Guha made the apology for using the term, which is widely perceived to carry negative racial connotations.
“Yesterday in commentary I used a word that can be interpreted in a number of different ways,” Guha said, while sat beside former India player and coach Ravi Shastri and host Adam Gilchrist. “I’d like to apologise for any offence caused. I set myself really high standards when it comes to empathy and respect of others.
“If you listen to the full transcript I only meant the highest praise for one of India’s greatest players. And someone that I admire greatly.
Guha is of Indian heritage and has been a high-profile face of the Fox Sports broadcast team for several years.
“I’m an advocate for equality and someone who has spent their career thinking about inclusion and understanding in the game, she added. “I was trying to frame the enormity of his achievement and I’ve chosen the wrong word. For that I am deeply sorry.”
Shastri said in reply that the matter had not been talked about within the India team and that it should be considered dealt with.
“Brave woman to do it on live television and apologize, it takes some steel,” Shastri said. “As far as I am concerned, game over. People are entitled to make mistakes, we are all human.
“As far as the Indian team, there is a test match going on. They would like to focus on the game that is taking place.”
The incident raised memories of the 2008 ‘monkeygate’ scandal where Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds accused India spinner Harbhajan Singh of calling him a ‘monkey’ during a test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Harbhajan was initially suspended for three matches which was later rescinded after protests from the India team.

DEHRADUN: Jatin Kumar was awarded the prestigious Sword of Honour and the President's Silver Medal at Indian Military Academy's (IMA) Autumn Passing Out Parade on Saturday, but just a few years ago, he was striving to gain entry into the elite institution. "I could not get selected for NDA in my first two attempts, but I never lost hope. My family has always been my strength, and with their support, I am celebrating the most memorable day of my life. It was the dream of my father that I become an Army officer. Eleven years ago, when I was in Sainik School, I, too, dreamt of serving the nation, and today that dream has come true," said Lt Kumar. His father, a retired Havaldar, served in the until 2018. Kumar, a silver medallist graduate from the National Defence Academy (NDA), hails from Palwal, Haryana. "My parents are like my backbone. I also got inspired by my teachers and senior officers," he added.
Reacting to receiving the Sword of Honour, Kumar said, "Our daily activities are meticulously scrutinised, and all awards are given accordingly. It is with the blessing of my parents that I received this honour, and I dedicate it to them."
Mayank Dhyani from Pauri Garhwal who earned the bronze medal, also thanked his family -- his father, too, is an ex-serviceman-- and said they were his primary support in realising his dream. He told TOI, " I come from a modest family background. If an ordinary person like me can fulfill his dream, anyone can achieve it with determination."

His father, who runs a readymade garments enterprise, said with pride, "My son was preparing for NEET after completing his Class 12, but he secretly applied to NDA. We only discovered it after he succeeded in the exam."

(Reuters) - Indian shares are likely to open little changed on Monday, in line with Asian peers, starting the week with a focus on the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting later this week and the imminent 25-basis-points interest rate cut.
The Gift Nifty futures were trading at 24,776, as of 8:10 a.m. IST, indicating that the benchmark Nifty 50 will open near Friday's close of 24,768.3.
On Friday, the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex notched their longest weekly winning run since July, helped by gains in consumer stocks on easing domestic retail inflation.
Before closing nearly 1% higher on Friday, the Nifty 50 traded in a narrow range of 180 points in the first four days of the week.
"Nifty seems to have got back its bullish momentum and is likely to head towards the next target of 25,000. Support for the index is seen at 24,500," said Devarsh Vakil, deputy head of retail research, HDFC Securities.
Meanwhile, investors' attention will be on the Fed's meeting on Wednesday, where the odds of a quarter of a percentage point rate cut is at 93%, according to CME FedWatch.
A Fed rate cut is supportive for domestic equities in general as it could bring foreign inflows. India's IT firms, which earn a significant share of their revenue from the U.S., could benefit from the cut, analysts said.
Asian markets were in a wary mood as surging bond yields challenged equity valuations, particularly for the richly priced tech sector, in a week packed with central bank meetings and major economic data. Wall Street closed flat on Friday. [MKTS/GLOB]
Domestic investors net sold Indian stocks worth 7.32 billion rupees ($86.3 million) on Friday, while foreign investors net purchased shares worth 23.35 billion rupees, exchange data showed.
STOCKS TO WATCH:
Reliance Industries: The oils-to-telecoms conglomerate bought a 74% stake in an industrial area developer in Mumbai for 16.28 billion rupees.
Lupin: Drugmaker acquired anti-diabetes trademarks from Boehringer Ingelheim.
JSW Steel: Indian financial crime-fighting agency restored assets worth 40.25 billion rupees of Bhushan Steel and Power to JSW Steel following approval from the Supreme Court, per multiple media reports.
($1 = 84.8230 Indian rupees)

Lions' banged-up defense no match for high-scoring Allen-led Bills in 48-42 loss
Lions' banged-up defense no match for high-scoring Allen-led Bills in 48-42 loss
DETROIT — The Detroit Lions had no answers for Josh Allen.
Now, they're hoping a banged-up defense can stop anyone else.
Detroit’s patchwork defense got even more threadbare in a 48-42 loss to Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, losing three contributors to possible season-ending injuries.
Defensive tackle Alim McNeill injured a knee, cornerback Carlton Davis III left with a jaw injury and reserve cornerback and key special teams player Khalil Dorsey broke his right leg, which coach Dan Campbell said was similar to Aidan Hutchinson's season-ending injury.
"We’ll know more about Alim and tomorrow, but I don’t feel good about either one of those guys," Campbell said. "If I’m saying I don’t feel good about an injury, that means not good for the rest of the season.”
The Lions have more players on injured reserve than anyone else in the NFL, and a high percentage of those players play defense. They have managed to overcome the loss of Hutchinson – the league’s best pass rusher – but Allen showed how far things have gotten.
Not only did they fail to register a sack, they rarely got any pressure on him. They had just three quarterback hits on a day during which he threw for a season-high 362 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 68 yards and two more scores.
“He poses a huge issue for any team, and we knew that was going to happen,” Campbell said. “We wanted to handle him better and we just didn’t. When he makes a play, I can live with it, but what is frustrating is all the self-inflicted wounds.
“You can’t give that team anything, and I feel like we helped them a little bit.”
Buffalo’s 48 points and 559 yards don’t even tell the whole tale because Tyler Bass missed a 24-yard field goal that could have put the Bills over 50 points. The performance came after Buffalo lost 44-42 to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.
“We knew they were going to be ready to go after that tough loss out there on the West Coast," Campbell said. "They had that urgency and we just didn’t match it. That’s on me. I didn’t have those guys ready to go for a game like that. We have a lot of guys who can play better than that, and that’s my job.”
The final box score doesn’t look too bad for the Lions on offense after they had 521 yards, including 494 yards from Jared Goff, and lost by just six points.
Goff threw for 333 yards in the second half, but Detroit only added seven on the ground. Detroit trailed 38-21 early in the fourth quarter and were still down two scores until scoring their last touchdown with 16 seconds left.
“If we had been able to play like that at the start of the game, maybe we would have stayed closer for the first three quarters,” Goff said. “It probably wouldn’t have felt quite so much like garbage time there at the end.
“They punched us in the mouth early and it took us too long to respond.”
Goff, though, thinks the game could have value in the long run.
“We would have loved to win out, including the Super Bowl, but that didn’t happen,” he said. “I hope we can look back on this as a good lesson and use what we learn to win the next three games.”

DEHRADUN: The Indian Military Academy (IMA) parade ground glittered with polished boots and medals, but beneath the ceremony lay stories as inspiring as the marching cadets themselves. Among the newly minted officers, Lt Rahul Verma and Lt Raman Saxena stood out — not for their uniforms, but for the extraordinary roads they had traversed to don their uniforms.
For Saxena of Agra, the path to the Army began in the most unlikely of places — a kitchen. After earning a degree in hotel management in 2007, he started his career as a cook in a hotel. But fate, and a posting at the Gentleman Cadet (GC) mess at IMA, had other plans.
"While I was working in a hotel, my father encouraged me to join the Army," Saxena recounted. In 2014, he took his first step by enlisting as a Naib Subedar, with his initial posting as the catering in-charge at IMA. It was here, while serving meals to aspiring officers, that a seed was planted. "Watching the GCs inspired me deeply," he said. "I resolved to become one of them."
But the journey was far from straightforward. Saxena faced failure in his first two attempts to qualify for the officer cadre. "Under the special commissioned officer (SCO) entry scheme, junior commissioned officers can become commissioned officers between the ages of 28 and 35," he explained. "At 34, I succeeded on my third attempt."
Behind his success was the unwavering support of his father, a retired honorary captain who served in the Army for 30 years. Saxena also credits Col Vikram Singh, his senior officer, for providing invaluable guidance without which the happy ending wouldn't have been possible.
Meanwhile, Verma, a washerman's son from Kota, Rajasthan, grew up amid the hum of irons and the smell of burning starch. His family's livelihood revolved around a tiny corner of their home, where clothes were pressed during the day, and meals were cooked and served in the evenings. Yet, it was within this modest space that Verma prepared for the exams that would eventually lead him to the Indian Army.
"My father is my biggest inspiration," he said, the words carrying the weight of quiet pride. "He always told me to choose a profession that brings respect. He often says it's no longer just a king's son who becomes the king — anyone who works hard can reach the top."
Determined to live up to his father's ideals, Verma juggled his studies with the constraints of their household. "I studied at night in that small space," he said, offering a glimpse into the relentless perseverance that shaped his journey.
These two men—one who studied by the glow of a single bulb in a washerman's corner, and another who dreamt of officer's stars while serving in a mess — stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their peers, their stories shining brighter than any medal.

Chinese mistress sues wife who refused to divorce husband after accepting ₹1.3 crore
A Chinese mistress has sued the wife of her lover who refused to divorce her husband after receiving 1.2 million yuan from her.
A Chinese mistress has sued the wife of her lover who refused to divorce her husband after receiving 1.2 million yuan from her. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the bizarre case centres around a man – identified only by his surname Han – who started an affair with his colleague despite being married.
Han, based in Shishi in the Fujian province of China, married his wife Yang in 2013. Later, he began an affair with his colleague, named Shi. While Han and his wife Yang had two daughters together, Han also welcomed a son with his mistress in November 2022.
A divorce deal
At this point, Shi confronted Han’s wife and tried to convince her to agree to a divorce. Shi proposed a deal - she would pay Yang a total of 2 million yuan if she agreed to divorce her husband.
As part of the agreement, Shi transferred 1.2 million yuan ( ₹1.3 crore approximately) to Yang towards the end of 2022.
Unfortunately for Shi, the divorce deal left her poorer by 1.2 million yuan as Yang kept the money and refused to grant her husband a divorce. After a year of waiting for Yang to consent to a divorce, Shi began demanding her money back.
Frustrated by Yang’s refusal to return the money, Shi filed a lawsuit against her to recover the 1.2 million yuan. In her lawsuit, she claimed that there was a “verbal agreement” between her and Yang and the payment was contingent upon Yang divorcing Han.
However, the Shishi People’s Court refused to rule in Shi’s favour. The court said that Shi’s payment violated societal moral standards and public order as it intended to disrupt a lawful marriage.
While her petition for a refund was rejected, it was also revealed during court proceedings that Han spent over 6 million yuan on Shi without his wife’s knowledge.

NEW DELHI: A 15-year-long manhunt for a murder accused ended with his arrest from Central Delhi's Chelmsford Road. Police said the accused altered his appearance and was living as a beggar in various areas of the city.
According to police, the accused, along with his female associate, murdered a woman and severely injured her husband during a robbery attempt in Rajender Nagar in 1999. He was arrested and granted parole in 2009, but he failed to surrender and jumped parole.
The accused was identified as Sanjay alias Sonesh Dass, a resident of Nadia in West Bengal.
On March 17, 1999, a woman named Kamla Khanna was murdered, and her husband, Dwarka Nath Khanna, was severely injured during an armed robbery by their maid, Jayanti, and her associate, Sanjay, in Central Delhi's Rajender Nagar.
During the investigation, both accused persons were arrested for killing the victim and seriously injuring her husband during the commission of an armed robbery. Sanjay was convicted and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for life. The convict was released on parole for a period of three months on Oct 15, 2009, and was required to surrender before Tihar jail authorities on Jan 15, 2010. However, the accused failed to surrender and fled.
Deputy commissioner of police (Central) M Harsha Vardhan formed a team under SHO (Paharganj) Rajeev Rana to track down the accused. "There was a major hurdle, as the team only had an old photograph of the accused. His face changed significantly since then," DCP Vardhan said.
The team conducted a raid at the accused's native place in West Bengal but did not find him there. Police said that during the investigation, they discovered that the accused was residing somewhere in the area of the New Delhi Railway Station.
"Based on technical analysis, he was nabbed from Chelmsford Road. He was lying on the footpath, covering himself with a blanket," police said.

Siberian tiger journeys 200 km through Russian wilderness to reunite with former mate
Two Siberian tigers, once separated by 200 km, were reunited in the wild after years apart.
In a heartwarming turn of events, two Amur tigers, Boris and Svetlaya, have been reunited in the wilds of Russia, defying the odds after being separated for nearly 200 kilometres. This remarkable story of love and resilience is offering new hope for the conservation of these endangered big cats.

A journey of love and survival
Rescued as orphaned cubs from the Sikhote-Alin mountains in 2012, Boris and Svetlaya were raised together in a special conservation programme, designed to limit human interaction. The objective was to prepare them for life in the wild, with plans to release them into their natural habitat at 18 months old. This goal was successfully achieved in 2014 in the Pri-Amur region, a critical area for the survival of the Amur tiger, as reported by The New York Times.
Boris's determined journey
In an effort to expand their population, Boris and Svetlaya were initially separated by hundreds of kilometres as part of a larger conservation strategy. However, conservationists soon noticed something unusual about Boris's behaviour. Unlike most tigers, who tend to stay within specific territories, Boris embarked on a remarkable journey. Over the course of nearly three years, he travelled a staggering 200 km in a straight line, eventually making his way back to Svetlaya. The pair were reunited, much to the delight of the conservation community.
A new chapter for tiger conservation
Their reunion marked a new chapter for the couple, and six months later, they welcomed a litter of cubs, further bolstering hope for the future of the Amur tiger species. This development is seen as a positive sign for ongoing tiger repopulation efforts, with experts expressing optimism that the bond between Boris and Svetlaya could provide valuable insights into successful conservation practices.
"The data demonstrated that orphaned cubs, raised in captivity and released, were just as effective as wild tigers at hunting, targeting the same prey and rarely killing livestock," explained Dale Miquelle, lead author from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). "This success shows that tigers, if given the proper isolation from humans and the chance to learn to hunt, can be successfully re-released into the wild."

A critical time for Siberian tigers
The Siberian tiger, or Amur tiger, is an iconic and powerful species native to the Russian Far East. However, due to threats like habitat loss, poaching, and human-tiger conflicts, these magnificent creatures are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The success of Boris and Svetlaya offers a glimmer of hope that with careful planning and dedication, the future of the Amur tiger can be secured.

NEW DELHI: From afar, it looks like a pile of tattered bedding and worn mattresses on a footpath. But then a face emerges from the bundle, followed by four more. All are homeless people huddled desperately to warm themselves in the biting cold of a Delhi winter.
Beneath these worn blankets lie stories of survival, territory and the unwritten codes of street life, the brutality of which was recently highlighted in central Delhi's Paharganj, where a man was killed with a stone in a fight over sleeping space on the footpath.
In conversations with homeless individuals sleeping on footpaths in Paharganj, near Nigambodh Ghat and at Yamuna Bazaar near the old Hanuman Mandir, a complex story of survival emerges. "I've been on these streets for 25 years since I was 10 years old," said Ram Gopal, who left Uttar Pradesh after his parents' death. "I don't even remember how it feels to sleep anywhere except on this hard footpath. In the decades I have been here in Paharganj, I have seen big fights, even murders over something sleeping on the footpath. But then, it is after all one's resting place after a tiring day."
Ratan Lal knows all about such a life. While his family lives safely in a Rajasthan village, he has spent half a century on Delhi's streets, sleeping behind his cart every night. Sometimes, his family wants to come to Delhi, but he dissuades them for their own safety. "I sometimes think of staying in the night shelters but things are worse there. We are rehdiwalas (cart pullers), and often our rehdis get stolen. The only way to prevent that is by sleeping right next to them on the road where we park them."
Ajay Rai, 52, from Bihar, is also clear. "The night shelters have their own politics. They're overcrowded, and people fight violently for a chance to sleep inside. Even on footpaths, certain spots are better than others and there are fights for these."
Over time, an unwritten code and invisible boundaries mark sleeping territories. "We know our places," shrugged Shaila, 30, from West Bengal, who sleeps on the footpath near the old Hanuman temple. "Would you like someone staying in your home uninvited? I've seen young men pull out blades to protect their small space on the footpath – it's the only home they've known since birth."
Shaila added, "Many of us are lucky enough to have stray dogs staying with us. They protect us through the night and allow no one to bother us."
A daily wage labourer voiced the basic needs of the homeless community: "We know the night shelters are full, we know we can't set up a jhuggi anywhere and we know we don't have money for a pucca makaan. So, knowing this, masks and blankets are all that we need to fight the cold and dust. The noise of the traffic doesn't bother us after a point — we are so tired after a day's labour that we just want to crash, no matter how hard the footpath, how dirty the road or how loud the traffic."
The men sleeping near Nigambodh Ghat said they chose the spot where the road makes a U-turn for a simple reason: it's hidden, dark and cold — just the kind of place few know about and fewer still dare to enter. Said 25-year-old Vishal: "On this small patch, we have nothing but each other. Nobody can see us here, and that's important. We've had some pretty terrifying experiences in the past. The crowded footpaths? Too risky. At least here, in the shadows, no one's going to fight us for space. Sure, speeding cars and dangerous U-turns can make life nerve-wracking too but at least we're not fighting over space. This is ours — just a place to crash for a few hours before we head to work at dawn and then slump down again late at night."

Russia likely to begin visa-free travel for Indians from 2025
Since August 2023, Indians have been eligible for e-visas to travel to Russia, which takes about four days to get processed.
Indians might soon be able to travel visa-free to Russia with a new system likely to begin in the spring of 2025. Earlier in June, reports surfaced that Russia and India discussed bilateral agreement to ease visa restrictions for each other, in a bid to implement visa-free group tourist exchanges.
Since August 2023, Indians have been eligible for e-visas to travel to Russia, which takes about four days to get processed. India also made its place among the top five countries for the number of e-visas issued last year, with 9,500 e-visas being granted to Indian travelers, The Indian Express reported.
Indian nationals are at present required to have a visa issued by the Russian Embassy/Consulates in the nation to enter, stay and exit from the Russian Federation. The process to gain the document was an extensive one.
Mostly, Indian visitors travel to Russia for business or official purposes. In 2023, a record of more than 60,000 Indians travelled to Moscow, a 26 per cent increase from that of 2022.

Indian ranked third among the non-CIS countries for business tourism early this year, with around 1,700 e-visas being issued in the just first quarter of 2024, the report added.
Notably, Russia currently allows visa-free entry for travelers from China and Iran through its visa-free tourist exchange programme. This initiative has proven to be a success for Moscow, which hopes to replicate the same with India as well.
At present, India enjoys visa-free travel privilege to 62 countries. Ranking 82nd on the Henley Passport Index 2024, an Indian passport holder can travel without a visa to popular tourist destinations like Indonesia, Maldives and Thailand.

The Henley Passport Index is released on the basis of data from the International Air Transport Authority (IATA). The index assumes that passport holders meet all basic entry requirements, are adult citizens traveling alone, and seek entry for tourist or business purposes for short stays. However, it excludes complicated scenarios like diplomatic travel, emergency or temporary passports, and transit stays.

Mumbai [India], : Indian stock markets started the fresh week on a cautious note on Monday, as both indices declined marginally during the opening session. The US Federal Reserve meeting is set to start on Tuesday, and markets around the globe are expecting a 25 basis points cut.
The Nifty 50 index opened at 24,753.40 points, with a decline of 14.90 points or 0.06 percent, while the BSE Sensex dipped by 132.81 points or 0.16 percent to open at 82,000.31 points.
Experts noted that Indian markets will monitor the Fed rate cut due this week. Expectations of a 25 bps cut are very high. The markets are likely to remain in a consolidation phase, but a year-end rally could gain traction this week.
Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert told ANI, "This will be a week dominated by the US Fed's last FOMC meet of the year. A rate cut of 25 basis points is a near certainty. The commentary will be watched closely for clues on the Fed rate cut momentum in 2025. January 2025 will bring President Trump's policies to the centre of attention. Indian markets saw a sharp intraday bounce back on Friday after consolidating for a week. Given it's a Fed policy week, we could see steady market action, but we are hopeful for a yearend rally gaining traction this week."
In the sectoral indices on the National Stock Exchange, a mixed trend was visible, with Nifty FMCG, Nifty Media, Nifty Metal, Nifty Pharma, Nifty PSU Bank, and Nifty Realty surging, while other sectors including Nifty Bank and Nifty Auto declined at the time of filing this report.
In the Nifty 50 list, 19 shares gained while 30 declined at the time of filing this report. The top gainers of Nifty 50 included ITC, Cipla, L&T, Reliance, and Adani Enterprises, while the top losers included BPCL, JSW Steel, and Tech Mahindra.
"This objective remains valid as long as the market stays above 23,873, but more critical support now is the Friday low of 24,180. Seasonal patterns also support a bullish view, as the nifty has risen in the second fortnight of December 80% of the time in the last decade, with an average gain of 1.1," said Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities.
In other Asian markets, a mixed trend was visible, with the Nikkei 225 index, Taiwan Weighted index, and South Korea's KOSPI index surging marginally, while the Hang Seng index and Jakarta Composite declined at the time of filing this report.

NEW DELHI: The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi remained in the 'poor' category on Sunday, worsening further as the city faced cold wave conditions.
According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi's AQI was recorded at 246 at 7 am, up from 212 on Saturday.
The temperature also dropped significantly, with the
India Meteorological Department (IMD) recording a low of 6 degrees Celsius at 5:30 am on Sunday, compared to 9.4 degrees the previous day.
Specific areas in the capital reported higher pollution levels. Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 292, Alipur 256, Bawana 298, and Burari Crossing 288. Other areas like Dwarka Sector 8 (258), Nehru Nagar (299), Rohini (288), and Mundka (317) also reported concerning figures.
The AQI scale categorizes levels from 0-50 as "good," 51-100 as "satisfactory," 101-200 as "moderate," 201-300 as "poor," 301-400 as "very poor," and 401-500 as "severe."
With the temperature plunging to single digits, many residents sought refuge in shelter homes across the city. Visuals from areas like Jama Masjid and AIIMS showed people wrapped in thick blankets, braving the icy conditions.
Ved Pal, who manages a shelter near AIIMS, shared, "This is a family shelter, and we provide proper beds and as many blankets as needed. Residents receive two meals a day, along with tea and rusks in the morning." He added that over 40 people stayed at the shelter on Saturday night.
Highlighting the medical support available, Pal noted, "We have a first aid box and general medicines like paracetamol. A doctor visits the shelter for health issues, and we also assist in taking individuals to AIIMS if necessary."
Meanwhile, the IMD has issued a warning for 'cold wave to severe cold wave' conditions across parts of North India, including Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
Soma Sen Roy, an IMD scientist, cautioned about a potential 1-2 degree Celsius drop in temperatures due to strong winds. She also predicted the cold wave would persist in North and Central India for one to two days.

Luigi Mangione dubbed ‘Gen-Z’s Ted Bundy’ as netizens' obsession with killers is exposed
Luigi Mangione has been compared to notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, who received hundreds of love letters while behind bars.
The internet’s obsession with killers and true crime is exposed every time there is a high profile murder somewhere in the world. Americans are currently engrossed in conversations about UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer Luigi Mangione, who became a sort of celebrity following the murder, with crazed netizens going gaga over his looks.
Mangione has now been compared to notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, who kidnapped, raped, and murdered dozens of young women and girls during the 1970s. Bundy had female fans too, and even received hundreds of love letters while he was behind bars.
Netizens have compared Bundy with Mangione, with one Reddit post suggesting the two look similar. Meanwhile, an X user wrote, “ngl i think Luigi Mangione is the Ted Bundy of our generation,” possibly referring to the public’s obsession with the CEO killer.
One user wrote, “luigi mangione makes me understand those women who had a crush on ted bundy,” while another said, “this luigi mangione thing is the ted bundy crazy fan girl moment of this generation and honestly i love it”. Another said, “I went to the bar last night and someone said that Luigi Mangione is the Gen-Z’s Ted Bundy…”.
‘Complete disregard for some of the most basic laws of our society’
Meanwhile, a mental health expert has claimed Mangione, 26,displayed a pattern of “grandiose” behavior that is associated with personality disorders like narcissism and sociopathy. Manhattan psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael told New York Post, “There’s a level of grandiosity in his decision that his own opinions would merit his complete disregard for some of the most basic laws of our society. . . . and this sense of permission to take a man’s life into his own hands.”
“For him to imagine himself as this ‘hero’ — it raises questions for me about a personality disorder that’s along the lines of narcissism,” Carmichael added.
New York City psychotherapist Dr. Alyson Cohen likened Mangione to Bundy and Charles Manson, who exhibited symptoms of “antisocial personality disorder.” “Antisocial personality disorder is when people lack the ability to have empathy and compassion for other humans. With a cold-blooded killer, the cold-bloodedness is literally a lack of emotional consideration,” Cohen told the outlet.
“I don’t think that someone who feels deeply on an emotional level would be okay with shooting someone in the head,” Cohen added.
Mangione allegedly shot Thompson dead on a sidewalk in Midtown. He was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s and is now facing a slew of charges, including murder and gun possession. The Ivy League graduateremains jailed without bail.

The Washington Commanders secured their ninth win of the season by holding on to beat the New Orleans Saints, 20-19. Here are five takeaways from the victory.
1. Touchdown Terry.
Terry McLaurin continues to roll in what has been a tremendous season for the veteran wide receiver.
McLaurin had another solid day for the Commanders against the Saints, catching seven passes on 10 targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the first half. The first came between two Saints defenders on Washington's opening drive, capping off an acrobatic play from Jayden Daniels, while the second put the Commanders up 14-0 on a three-yard grab.
Arguably his most impressive play, however, was a 25-yard grab in the third quarter that converted a second-and-11. McLaurin plucked the ball out of the air on the left side of the field, putting the Commander at the Saints' 44-yard line.
The Commanders' effort to get McLaurin the ball more often has paid off for them, as they are now 7-3 when he gets at least 50 yards. It's also helped him have what's shaping up to be the best season of his career. He is the first Washington wide receiver to have 10 or more touchdown receptions since Gary Clark did so in 1991, and his four multi-touchdown games are the second-most in the NFL this season trailing only Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase.
McLaurin is on pace to hit a career-high 1,172 yards with three games left.
2. Another dominant first half from the defense.
The Commanders continued their dominance in the first half of games this season by shutting out the Saints in the first. It is the third time this season they accomplished the feat and the most in a single season since 2015, and they nearly did so two weeks ago against the Tennessee Titans.
Much of that had to do with how little success Jake Haener could find in the passing game. On top of Marshon Lattimore locking down receivers and getting zero targets for the day in his Commanders debut, players like Mike Sainristil provided tight coverage working against the Saints' depleted arsenal at wide receiver. Haener still tried to force the ball to playmakers, though, and he paid for it with Sainristil getting his second interception of the season.
Of course, all that happened on the few occasions Haener was able to get the ball off. Frankie Luvu and the Commanders' pass-rush brought consistent pressure on the second-year quarterback, bringing him down three times for a loss of 29 yards. Haener was held to a passer rating of 16.2 in the first half, leading to him being benched in the third quarter.
The Commanders also continued their improvements against the run, as the Saints were held to 18 yards on the ground in the first half and 69 overall. Alvin Kamara, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, had just 12 yards on five carries.

3. Jayden Daniels was exceptional.
It was Daniels' return to Louisiana, and as expected, he balled out.
Daniels was nearly perfect in the first half, completing 17 of his 19 pass attempts for 140 yards and two touchdowns. His athleticism was on full display as well; seconds before McLaurin scored the first touchdown of the game, McLaurin rolled to his left, stumbled but kept his balance before throwing a strike to the receiver in the end zone.
Daniels led the Commanders with 66 rushing yards on 11 carries, with his most impressive scramble coming on a third-and-14 in the third quarter. Daniels moved to his left and made a slight juke to make a defender stumble, which allowed him enough room to convert and put Washington at the Saints' 24-yard line. He also converted a fourth-and-1 at Washington's 45-yard line by cutting upfield and vaulting over the pile.
It was just the latest addition to what has been a record-setting season for Daniels. He became the third rookie in NFL history to have thrown for over 3,000 passing yards and rushed for over 600 yards. He joins Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III as the only other players to do so in NFL history.
4. Missed opportunities to clean up.
As exciting as the failed two-point conversion from the Saints that sealed the win for the Commanders was, there were moments that could have given Washington a much safer lead.
McLaurin, for example, was wide open for what could have been touchdowns on three separate occasions in the second half. All three ended with the ball barely slipping through McLaurin's grasp. It should serve as a reminder for the Commanders that they will need to capitalize on those moments against better opponents like the Philadelphia Eagles, who will be coming to Northwest Stadium next week.
Another missed opportunity came on the Commanders' final offensive drive of the night. Rather than punt, coach Dan Quinn sent Greg Joseph out to try a 54-yard field goal. Joseph's kick was wide right, providing the Saints with a short field and a chance to tie the game.
There were also the nine penalties called on Washington that hurt both sides of the ball. A holding call eliminated a 23-yard gain by Dyami Brown in the fourth quarter that would have moved the Commanders to the Saints' 10-yard line. Before that, Benjamin St-Juste was called for illegal use of hands on a third-and-10 that kept the Saints' scoring drive alive.
As the Commanders move into their final two games, they cannot afford to miss anymore scoring opportunities or chances to get opponents off the field.
5. A tighter hold on the playoffs.
The Commanders have been in position to earn a playoff spot at this point in previous seasons. They were 7-5-1 in 2022 needing to win at least two of their games to get into the postseason; in 2021, they were 6-6 with a possibility to lock up a spot. Both seasons ended with disappointment, as they lost three of their last four in 2022 and four of their last five in 2021.
As with many aspects of the 2024 season, things might be different this time around. It wasn't a pretty game, but the Commanders performed in the moments that mattered most and secured their first winning record since 2016. They now have a firmer hold on the No. 7 seed in the playoffs, as the New York Times playoff simulator gives them a 95% chance at making the postseason.
The work is far from done, though. They'll need to play well against their last three opponents, starting with the Eagles next week. They'll then host the Atlanta Falcons, who are still working to lock up the NFC South, and then close out the year with a road matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Commanders have already outperformed expectations this year and have a chance to do so again by making the playoffs in the first year under Quinn's leadership. None of their next games are surefire victories, but if they can continue to play tough in critical situations, they will give themselves a shot.

INDI Alliance Almost Shattered Now": BJP's Brijmohan Agrawal
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Brijmohan Agrawal on Sunday slammed the INDIA alliance, stating that the alliance is on the verge of collapse.
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Brijmohan Agrawal on Sunday slammed the INDIA alliance, stating that the alliance is on the verge of collapse.
Agrawal made this remark, pointing out that there are conflicting discussions within the alliance about who should be leading it.
He stated that on one side there were talks of making West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee the leader and Sharad Pawar on the other.
"The INDI alliance is almost shattered now. On one side there is talk of making Mamata Banerjee the leader; on the other side there is talk of making Sharad Pawar the leader," he said.
This came amid a new discussion that erupted after a few Trinamool Congress leaders advocated a change in the leadership of the INDIA bloc following the election drubbing of the Congress in the Maharashtra and Haryana assembly polls and proposing the name of Mamata Banerjee to lead the front.
Agrawal also mentioned Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's announcement that his party would be contesting the upcoming assembly elections alone, which he sees as an indication of the party's uncertain future.
Agrawal claimed that Kejriwal has realised that contesting elections with "Congress would lead to AAP's downfall." He further exuded confidence that the BJP will form the government in Delhi.
"Arvind Kejriwal's party's announcement that they will fight (the assembly elections) alone is telling their fate. He (Arvind Kejriwal) has understood that he will be finished if he fights the elections together with Congress. He is going to be finished anyway... Now the BJP government is going to be formed in Delhi," he said.
Earlier on Sunday, AAP released its fourth and final list of 38 candidates for the Delhi Elections 2025.
As per the list, the party's national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will contest from New Delhi, CM Atishi from Kalkaji, Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj from Greater Kailash, and Minister Gopal Rai from Babarpur.
Additionally, Satyendra Kumar Jain will contest from Shakur Basti, Durgesh Pathak from Rajinder Nagar, Ramesh Pehalwan from Kasturba Naga, Raghuvinder Shokeen from Nangloi Jat, Som Dutt from Sadar Bazar, Imran Hussain from Ballimaran, and Jarnail Singh from Tilak Nagar.
As per the list, Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj will contest from Greater Kailash, and Minister Gopal Rai will contest from Babarpur. Additionally, Satyendra Kumar Jain will contest from Shakur Basti, Durgesh Pathak from Rajinder Nagar, Raghuvinder Shokeen from Nangloi Jat, Som Dutt from Sadar Bazar, Imran Hussain from Ballimaran, and Jarnail Singh from Tilak Nagar.
Congress, which was in power in Delhi for 15 successive years, has performed poorly in the past two assembly polls, failing to win any seat. AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eighth seats.

Mumbai [India], : Indian stock markets started the fresh week on a cautious note on Monday, as both indices declined marginally during the opening session. The US Federal Reserve meeting is set to start on Tuesday, and markets around the globe are expecting a 25 basis points cut.
The Nifty 50 index opened at 24,753.40 points, with a decline of 14.90 points or 0.06 percent, while the BSE Sensex dipped by 132.81 points or 0.16 percent to open at 82,000.31 points.
Experts noted that Indian markets will monitor the Fed rate cut due this week. Expectations of a 25 bps cut are very high. The markets are likely to remain in a consolidation phase, but a year-end rally could gain traction this week.
Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert told ANI, "This will be a week dominated by the US Fed's last FOMC meet of the year. A rate cut of 25 basis points is a near certainty. The commentary will be watched closely for clues on the Fed rate cut momentum in 2025. January 2025 will bring President Trump's policies to the centre of attention. Indian markets saw a sharp intraday bounce back on Friday after consolidating for a week. Given it's a Fed policy week, we could see steady market action, but we are hopeful for a yearend rally gaining traction this week."
In the sectoral indices on the National Stock Exchange, a mixed trend was visible, with Nifty FMCG, Nifty Media, Nifty Metal, Nifty Pharma, Nifty PSU Bank, and Nifty Realty surging, while other sectors including Nifty Bank and Nifty Auto declined at the time of filing this report.
In the Nifty 50 list, 19 shares gained while 30 declined at the time of filing this report. The top gainers of Nifty 50 included ITC, Cipla, L&T, Reliance, and Adani Enterprises, while the top losers included BPCL, JSW Steel, and Tech Mahindra.

UnitedHealthcare shooting: After ‘wanted’ CEO posters, fashion brand releases criminal-themed playing cards
A “socialist apparel” brand's founder doubled down on the healthcare industry CEOs' criminal identities, announcing a ‘most-wanted CEOs playing cards’ deck.
Just days after Manhattan street views depicted a surge in “wanted” posters featuring the healthcare industry’s CEOs and senior executives, a socialist clothing brand is doubling down on the bizarre trend with its plans to sell playing cards set of “most wanted CEOs.” Comrade Workwear founder James Harr announced his head-turning project hot on the heels of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s fatal shooting in Midtown Manhattan.
America has since embraced its latest obsession with Thompson’s alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione, for his purported “anti-corporatist” motivations. Harr’s latest move further fans the contentious fire that has morally divided the US over the case. Each “most wanted CEOs” card reportedly features a CEO’s name and photo. Social media posts of the “socialist apparel” brand’s founder also highlighted that the playing cards would have a red human silhouette gun range target with the words “most-wanted CEOs playing cards,” according to The New York Post. Harr’s controversial cards have been inspired by the “most-wanted Iraqi” playing decks. They found their way to the US during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The sets were pushed to aid in identifying key targets in Saddam Hussein’s circle.

What would the ‘most wanted CEOs playing cards’ look like?
In addition to drawing focus on Thompson’s recent death, the Comrade Workwear founder has pushed for the death of numerous other high-profile CEOs encompassing various industries. While naming the roster already mentioned on the mock-ups, he urged his followers on Instagram and TikTok to help him expand the lineup. Social media users have been taken over by the controversial concept. Some even went as far as inquiring if the cards would include the mentioned CEOs’ addresses as well. Others also suggested that similar card sets be designed for “good guys” like Luigi Mangione.
According to one of Harr’s TikToks, the card deck has been divided into four markers as usual. Clubs represent CEOs of pharmaceutical companies; Hearts list things “needed” to “survive,” including real estate and retail; Diamonds feature “tech, finance, and media” execs; and Spades highlight those leading “oil and war.”
In addition, the cards will highlight the respective QR codes for each CEO, delving into what makes them “evil.” The deck's pre-order time period is expected to go live in the “next couple days.”
“Socialist” fashion brand founder issues statement on SNS
Although Harr hasn't directly responded to the US-based outlets reaching out to him, he addressed the “free advertising” on the Comrade Worker SNS platforms. He captioned a recent video post:

“My statement to the press: The media wants us condone the violence of the assassination of a healthcare ceo but they won’t acknowledge the daily violence that the working class suffers because of the decisions of CEOs and boards of directors. I’m not suggesting anyone should cause any physical harm to anyone but I do want people to know who is making their life harder, who is stealing from them, who is deciding that a couple more percentage points of profit is worth the life of your loved ones. The playing card deck is a way to help us bond over our class position as workers and learn about the companies and their leaders that are ultimately profiting off our suffering.”
Moves like this have pushed top corporations, including UnitedHealthcare, to erase the names of their senior executives from their official websites. Some of these concerned parties have already voiced their fears about their safety as online threats have skyrocketed in the wake of Brian Thompson’s killing.

The New Orleans Saints were lined up at the 2-yard line with thousands of fans backing their decision to keep their offense on the field to win the game after Spencer Rattler had thrown a one-yard touchdown to Foster Moreau at the end of regulation.
Rattler, who came in for Jake Haener in the second half, rolled to his right and saw tight end Juwan Johnson near the goal line. He fired his shot, but thanks in part to cover from cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, the ball was just out of reach. As Rattler jogged off the field in dejection, the Commanders defense celebrated holding strong at the last possible moment.
Of course, Washington does have plenty to be happy about, and not just because Rattler's errant pass secured a 20-19 victory at the Superdome -- a notoriously difficult venue for visitors. Head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Adam Peters have helped the franchise secure their first winning record since 2016, providing even more confidence for the team's long-term future under their guidance.

But in terms of the short-term importance, the Commanders also tightened their hold on the No. 7 seed in the playoffs. It was a game they needed to win to hold off teams like the Los Angeles Rams still in the hunt. It wasn't a perfect day from either side of the ball, but it was enough to provide some momentum for the final three matchups, two of which will be at home.
As good of a moment as the failed two-point conversion was for the Commanders, there's an argument it didn't need to come down to that.
Both versions of the Commanders were present against the Saints. In the first half, Jayden Daniels led an offense that looked more like what they put on display against the Tennessee Titans two weeks ago. Daniels was nearly perfect through two quarters, completing 17-of-19 passes and fueling a 165-yard effort. McLaurin had another two-touchdown performance, and the defense gave Haener fits with three sacks. The Saints' ground game, which was ranked 10th heading into Sunday, was limited to just 18 yards.
Then the second half rolled around, and the Commanders started running into problems. Although players like Daniels, who picked up a third-and-14 with a 24-yard run, provided plays that led to two field goals, they were held to a punt and a missed field goal on their final two drives when they could have closed out the game. That gave Rattler and the Saints time to climb back from a 14-0 hole and set up the final play at the end of regulation.
To start the afternoon, though, the Commanders were in full control. Daron Payne brought Haener down for an 11-yard sack on third down, and the offense responded by going on a 12-play drive that was kept alive thanks to an unnecessary roughness penalty by the Saints on a 45-yard field goal from Greg Joseph. The flag moved the Commanders up to the Saints' 13-yard line, and after a mixture of penalties and fumbles that moved the ball back to the 16, McLaurin finished things off with his first score of the day.
Washington's defensive line wasn't the only thing making Haener's first start a difficult one for the 2023 draft pick. With less than 12 minutes left in the first half, he tried to force a pass to Alvin Kamara, who left the game in the second half with a groin injury and got picked off by Mike Sainristil. Daniels and the offense made him pay for the error even further with a 10-yard drive. Zach Ertz made a one-handed grab that set the unit up at the Saints' 3-yard line, and Daniels connected with McLaurin in the end zone one play later.
As pesky as Rattler and the Saints were in the second half, there were moments where the Commanders could have put the game away. Daniels was sacked -- one of eight times on the afternoon -- at the Saints' 1-yard line to start the third quarter, forcing the Commanders to settle for a 23-yard field goal. McLaurin was wide open on three different occasions but couldn't haul in Daniels' passes. An offensive holding call -- one of nine penalties called on Washington -- erased a 23-yard pick up by Dyami Brown, leading to the Commanders missing a 51-yard field goal attempt.
The miss from Joseph set the Saints up at their own 44-yard line, and healthy doses of Rattler, who completed four of his first five passes on the drive, and running back Kendre Miller had them in scoring position. A pass from Rattler to Moreau on fourth-and-3 moved the Saints to the 1-yard line, and the two connected again to make the score 20-19.
The Saints chose to try winning the game on that drive rather than force overtime, though, and that was when Rattler's luck finally ran out.

Stock split 2024: PC Jeweller Limited shares remain in focus today as the stock trades ex-date for its stock split in a 1:10 ratio. The record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the split has been fixed as December 16, 2024.
The jewellery company had announced this stock split earlier in September to improve liquidity and make its shares more accessible to retail investors.
“The Board of Directors of the Company by means of a resolution passed by circulation today i.e. on November 28, 2024, has fixed Record Date as mentioned below for the purpose of sub-division / split of equity shares of the Company, such that 1 (One) equity share having face value of ₹10 (Rupees Ten Only) each, fully paid-up, be sub-divided / split into 10 (Ten) equity shares having face value of ₹1 (Rupee One Only) each: December 16, 2024,” the company announced in an exchange filing.
This means Friday was the last day to purchase PC Jeweller shares to be eligible for the split due to the T+1 settlement cycle, where trades are settled on the next business day. Shares bought on the ex-date, December 16, will not qualify for the split.
Currently trading below ₹175, PC Jeweller's stock has been a stellar performer in 2024, delivering gains of 247.17 per cent year-to-date. Last week, the stock closed at ₹174.80 on the BSE, slightly below its 52-week high of ₹186.80 and significantly above its 52-week low of ₹32.27.
PC Jeweller also announced board approval for the preferential issuance of 5,17,11,462 equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each to a consortium of lenders classified under the 'Non-Promoter, Public Category.' The list of proposed allottees includes major banks such as SBI, Punjab National Bank, Axis Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank, among others.
Following the stock split, the face value of these shares will adjust from ₹10 to ₹1, effective December 16, 2024. This adjustment is expected to align the issuance with the new split ratio.

'I’m Not Good Enough': Pep Guardiola Makes SHOCKING Admission Following Manchester Derby Loss
Pep Guardiola made some shocking admissions following Manchester City's loss to Manchester United in the Manchester Derby.
Manchester City have been unlike anything of their past selves as they are just not able to win and be the dominant force that has won multiple Premier League titles. Manchester City got another disappointing night as they lost to arch-rivals Manchester United in the Manchester Derby. Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Pep Guardiola as he made a shocking admission following his team's loss to the ‘Red Devils’.
Pep Guardiola Makes Shocking Admission Following Man United Loss
Pep Guardiola declared himself “not good enough” after Manchester City’s season sunk to a new low after a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
The four-time defending Premier League champion has lost eight of its last 11 games in all competitions - winning just once in that run.
City is fifth in the standings and nine points behind leader Liverpool, having played a game more.
“I’m the boss, I’m the manager and I’m not good enough. It’s as simple as that,” Guardiola said after the latest loss. “I’m not doing well. That is the truth.”
Guardiola has led City to unprecedented success, winning an unprecedented four Premier League titles in a row and six in the last seven seasons. He has won 15 major trophies at the club, including the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola Having Worst Run Of Form In Glorious Career
But he is experiencing the worst run of form in his coaching career, which has seen him win 33 major trophies at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City.
Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension last month, but that has not sparked an upturn in his team’s form.
City led 1-0 going into the 88th minute against United, but then conceded late goals to Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo — prompting boos from fans after the final whistle.
“I knew that it would be a tough season from the beginning. I said (that) many times, even when we were winning, but I didn’t expect it was so hard like it was right now,” Guardiola said.

NEW DELHI: For many foodies in the capital, a visit to the National Street Food Festival, now in its 14th edition, is part of an appetising annual routine. On Saturday, the opening day of the two-day food fiesta, the weather was on its best behavior enlivening the occasion. The wind was cold, but the sympathetic sun provided a perfect counter as men, women and children flaunted their winter wardrobe relishing life sunny side up.
In all, 80 food stalls hosted by 300 vendors offer a range of cuisines to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. A couple of stalls selling Afghan snacks and bakery items provide a dash of international flavor. Among the recommended fare is the chapli kebab (Rs 300), flattened and deep fried minced chicken patties served with tangy chutney. Mantoo, the Afghan variation of momo, is also on offer.
Once upon a time, litti chokha used to be a major draw in the trade fair's Bihar pavilion because it wasn't readily available in the capital. Now Bihar's most well-known dish is ubiquitous indicating the city's changing demographics and a growing openness of its taste buds. On view at the festival was the green litti (Rs 160), spinach and methi leaves blended with the dough to give it a more environment-friendly look and make it a healthier dish.
Regular fare for carnivores include kebabs, kormas, tikkas, biryanis, even nihari from old Delhi and Lucknow. That apart, a vendor from Hyderabad is selling haleem (Rs 160) and pathar ka gosht (Rs 200). You can also enjoy Malabar parotta with chicken curry (Rs 260). The mutton soup (Rs 100) at a Goa stall is great value for money. A vendor from Vizag is peddling bamboo chicken, stuffed and barbecued inside a bamboo stick. Then there's the Tibetan taipo, steamed bun filled with minced meat (Rs 180) or vegetables (Rs 150), depending on your inclination. Overall, a smorgasbord for the tastebuds.
For vegetarians, a stall from Rajasthan has a mix of regular fare (mawa kachori, mirchi vada, bajre ki khichdi) and unusual items: mooli ka halwa and lehsun ki kheer. Himachal's popular siddu (Rs 200), which proclaims itself to be "momo ke papa," is a box-office winner. The steamed bun, stuffed with minced dry fruits among other things, is daubed with ghee and served with chutney. There's also a raagi (finger millet) variation.
A cute chai chowk, where you can sample a variety of teas from different states, further showcases the beauty of India's diversity. Just the right beverage for winter provided you can endure the karaoke singing of an enthusiastic vendor. There are plenty of sideshows too: dance, music, street plays and 'chaupals' related to various aspects of street food vending. The entrance is from Gate No 14 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and the ticket costs Rs 180.

Twenty people, mostly women and children, have been confirmed dead following a boat mishap on the River Benue on Saturday near Ocholonya in Agatu LGA of Benue State.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Benue Command, SP Catherine Anene, on Sunday confirmed the recovery of 20 corpses and 11 people rescued alive.
Anene said, “Incident is confirmed and rescue operation is ongoing. Eleven persons were rescued alive while 20 corpses were recovered. The rescue operation is ongoing.”
The victims were reportedly returning to Doma in Nasarawa State after attending a market day in Ocholonya village when their wooden boat capsized.
A resident of Ocholonya, identified as Adanyi, recounted the tragic incident to journalists in Makurdi, saying, “On Saturday was Ocholonya market day. The boat was carrying women and children back to Odenyi in Nasarawa State when it capsized, and everyone drowned.”
The chairman of Agatu Local Government Area, Melvin James, confirmed the incident in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Sunday, saying it happened about 7pm on Saturday.
He said the victims were traders from Apochi and Odenyi communities in Doma, Nasarawa State.
“I have been informed about the mishap, and reports indicate that over 20 people might have died. Local divers claim to have recovered bodies, but I am waiting for an authoritative update to confirm the exact number,” James said.
The chairman added that efforts are underway to coordinate with Nasarawa State officials to console the affected families as he further disclosed that the Nigerian Navy was contacted to assist in rescue operations and had recovered the wreckage of the boat from the middle of the river where the accident occurred.
When contacted, the Area Manager of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) in Makurdi Office, Engr. Samson Onobun, said the incident was reported to him on Saturday night and that officials have been sent to the scene of the incident.
“Yes, I’m aware. We have sent men there to do a thorough investigation. It is when they return that I can give a clear explanation of what happened,” he said.

Troops of the 6 Division of the Nigeria Army, Port Harcourt, have arrested 29 suspects involved in illegal oil bunkering and deactivated 42 illegal refining sites in Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states.
A statement issued by the Assistant Director of Public Relations of the division, Lt. Col. Danjuma Jonah, said military operations, which were conducted from 9th to 15th December 2024, resulted in the deactivation of 42 illegal refining sites, arrest of 29 suspected oil thieves and confiscation of 197,000 litres of stolen products.
Jonah said the troops demobilised 32 boats, 12 vehicles and eight motorcycles used for economic sabotage in the Niger Delta region.
He said in Bayelsa, four illegal refining sites were deactivated in Biseni Forest, recovering 37,000 litres of stolen crude.
Jonah said similar operations in Benkrukru and other areas led to the seizure of more stolen crude and products, including over 5,000 litres of water-laden crude in Sabasuo, and 1,000 litres in Igbomotoru Creek.
In Rivers State, three illegal refining sites and boats with 30,000 litres of stolen crude were intercepted in Kula, and additional sites in Bille and along the Imo River led to the recovery of thousands of litres of stolen products, including equipment used for illegal refining, he added.

The Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ayatse, president of the Benue State Traditional Council, has cautioned politicians against using the newly launched Benue State Civil Protection Guard (BSCPG) for political gain.
The BSCPG, which recently recruited 5,000 personnel, was inaugurated in Makurdi at the Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) Square.
The event also saw the commissioning of 100 operational Hilux vehicles and 600 motorcycles for state security agencies.
During the ceremony, the Tor Tiv emphasised that the security outfit was formed with the primary goal of protecting the state, not for political purposes.
He urged politicians to refrain from using the personnel for any partisan agenda that would undermine their intended role in combating insecurity.
The traditional leader commended Governor Hyacinth Alia for his proactive approach to addressing the state’s security challenges, saying the state is now ahead of others in terms of securing public safety.
Governor Alia reiterated his commitment to improving security, noting that he had promised the recruitment of 10,000 personnel for the BSCPG, with the remainder to be recruited soon.
He stressed that the new security apparatus would help combat criminality and create a peaceful environment conducive to economic development.
The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, urged the state to leverage the federal government’s Livestock Development Ministry to help mitigate herders-farmers clashes, a prevalent issue in the state.

The Chairman of ASR Africa and BUA Group, Alhaji Abdul Samad Rabiu, joined the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, in Zaria, Kaduna State, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the reconstruction of the historic Malam Abdulkarim Jummat Mosque.
The mosque, first built in 1836, partially collapsed on August 11, 2023, claiming seven lives and injuring several worshippers. The tragedy prompted Alhaji Abdul Samad Rabiu to take on the responsibility of reconstructing the mosque.
In his remarks, the Emir of Zazzau expressed gratitude to the reconstruction committee for their commitment and commended Alhaji Rabiu for his generous contribution of N2 billion, noting that he has now taken over financing the project through the ASR Foundation.
“The new mosque will preserve its historical essence while incorporating modern facilities. It will accommodate 2,000 worshippers on two floors and an additional 5,000 in its courtyard. The design includes a state-of-the-art ablution area, library, ICT centre, and administrative offices,” the emir said.
The emir described the decision to demolish the mosque as a deeply painful yet necessary step for the safety of worshippers.
Dr Abbas Tajudeen, Speaker of the House of Representatives and a traditional title holder in Zazzau Emirate, noted that the historic mosque represented one of Nigeria’s largest and most significant architectural legacies.
He announced that the reconstruction is expected to take 18 months, with the current resources projected to cover 50% of the project.
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State said his administration is actively engaging stakeholders to secure additional funding for the project.
The collapse of the mosque in August 2023, during afternoon prayers, was a tragic incident that underscored the urgency of the reconstruction effort.
