Salman Khan house firing: HC allows second post-mortem of accused who died in police custody
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday allowed a second post-mortem examination of Anuj Kumar, who died in police custody following his arrest in a case related to the firing outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai. The direction came on a petition filed by Anuj Kumar's mother Reeta Devi, who sought a fresh examination. The court of Justice Vinod S Bhardwaj asked the petitioner to hand over the body to the Guru Gobind Singh Medical College in Faridkot on or before May 10. The court disposed of the petition without commenting on the merits of the case or impleading the state of Maharashtra with a direction to the Punjab government to conduct a second post-mortem examination of Anuj Kumar. On April 14, two motorbike-borne people opened fire outside Salman Khan's residence in the Bandra area of Mumbai. Four people, including Anuj Kumar, were arrested in connection with the case. Kumar, who was accused of supplying firearms and bullets, was arrested on April 26 from Punjab and remanded to police custody till April 30. A resident of Punjab's Fazilka, Kumar was found dead in the toilet of the lock-up of the crime branch in the commissionerate complex at Crawford Market here on May 1. The petitioner's counsel Davinder Singh Khurana submitted that the body of Anuj was handed over to the petitioner after a post-mortem examination. Khurana submitted that the petitioner suspected that her son had been eliminated under a conspiracy and that to rule out any possibility of an unfair play, it was essential that the post-mortem be re-conducted. The state counsel had contended that the petition was misconceived and there was no cogent reason or tangible ground for a second post-mortem.

BJP Announces 3 More Candidates for Lok Sabha Elections in Punjab
BJP Announces 3 More Candidates for Lok Sabha Elections in Punjab The BJP on Wednesday named candidates for three more Lok Sabha seats in Punjab, including former minister Rana Gurmeet Singh Sodhi from Ferozepur. The party fielded Subhash Sharma from the Anandpur Sahib parliamentary constituency and Arvind Khanna from Sangrur. With this, the BJP has fielded candidates in 12 out of the 13 parliamentary constituencies in Punjab. It is yet to name its nominee for the Fatehgarh Sahib reserve constituency. For the first time in many decades, the BJP is fighting on its own in the state following the break in its ties with the Shiromani Akali Dal, one of its oldest allies. Sodhi, the BJP candidate from Ferozepur, was the sports minister in the Amarinder Singh government in the state. He left the Congress and joined the BJP in 2021. He won the Guruhar Sahai Assembly segment in Punjab in 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017 on Congress tickets. In the Lok Sabha polls, Sodhi has been pitted against the Congress' Sher Singh Ghubaya, AAP's Jagdeep Singh Kaka Brar and SAD's Nardev Singh Bobby Mann. The Ferozepur Lok Sabha seat is currently represented by the SAD's Sukhbir Badal who will not contest the polls this time. The BJP's Anandpur Sahib Lok Sabha seat candidate Subhash Sharma is the senior vice president of the party's Punjab unit. He has been pitted against the AAP's Malvinder Singh Kang, Congress' Vijay Inder Singla and SAD's Prem Singh Chandumajra. Former MLA Arvind Khanna, filed from the Sangrur, will face AAP's Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Congress' Sukhpal Khaira, SAD (Amritsar) Simranjit Singh Mann and SAD's Iqbal Singh Jundan. Khanna won the Sangrur assembly seat in 2002 and 2012 on Congress tickets. He joined the BJP in 2022. He had unsuccessfully contested the 2022 assembly elections from the Sangrur seat on a BJP ticket. The BJP has won over a lot of influential leaders, including incumbent MPs from different parties, to its fold in its bid to strengthen its base in the state. It has also been assiduously wooing Sikhs, who are a majority in Punjab. Polling for 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab will be held on June 1.

IPL 2024: Our Focus Is On Ensuring We Win The Upcoming Games, Says PBKS Brad Haddin
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings are all set to go head-to-head against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala on Thursday. With the playoff stage of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League approaching quickly, all eyes are on the points table. All the teams still have a chance to earn the coveted top-four spot, but Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin insisted that his side is taking the competition game-by-game. Punjab went down by 28 runs to Chennai Super Kings at the same venue last week and will hope to return to winning ways on Thursday to remain in the hunt for the playoffs. The discussion over the last couple of days is about the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. If you look back to the last match we played, we got ourselves in a position to win the game. We had to chase 160-odd runs and we could not chase it down. So yeah, our main focus has been making sure we work on what we needed to from that game and concentrate on that. There's no point worrying about the next two after this unless we play well in this one. Haddin expressed disappointment over the result in the previous game. We thought we just started to play some good cricket. Our batters started to find some good form after Kolkata and Chennai. And it was disappointing. We thought we were just starting to get some momentum back in the tournament. To lose the way we did was disappointing, he said. But the former Australian international praised the youngsters Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma for their invaluable contribution this season. The two youngsters have batted beautifully in the lower-middle order and have already earned their sides some key victories this season. I think Shashank and Ashutosh have been outstanding. They are two young players that have grown during the IPL. The most pleasing thing about those players is they've got runs under pressure. You see guys come in and then score runs. But these two have come in and scored runs in tough situations, Haddin said. So, one technically you have got to be very good and their game sense and resilience under pressure has been good. For two guys that haven't tasted much of IPL and the hype of it. So yeah, they have been two positive stories from the season, he further added. Sam Curran has been leading the side over the past few games with skipper Shikhar Dhawan absent due to an injury. Haddin admitted Dhawan's injury has been a setback for Punjab this season, but expressed hope the left-handed batsman will be fit to play for the final two games. In any team that you are a part of, it's disappointing to leave your most senior players for extended periods. I do not have to sit here and tell you about Shikhar's record in IPL. He's the most successful opener in this tournament, Haddin said. We go to Delhi after this game for a couple of days before we go to our next game in Guwahati. Shikhar will be assessed and then hopefully we can have some more positive news on him for the last couple of games. We will assess him when we get to Delhi. Fingers crossed, he signed off.
My only religion is to serve people with empathy: Amethi Congress candidate KL Sharma
AMETHI: The announcement of the name of Kishori Lal Sharma as Congress candidate from Amethi against Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani took many by surprise both in the Congress and BJP camps as they had expected Rahul Gandhi to be in the fray from his bastion which he had lost in 2019. I am confident of my victory as the top party leaders will come here to campaign for me. I am the same Kishori Lal who had come to Amethi with Rajiv Gandhi in 1983. I have learnt from the Gandhi family that my sole aim and the only religion is to serve people with empathy and compassion, says the Congress candidate adding that he takes pride in getting selected by the Gandhis for Amethi. For Amethi, Kishori Lal Sharma is not an unknown face. Those aware of Amethi politics know him as the manager and representative of the Gandhis since 1983 when the then Amethi MP Rajiv Gandhi had brought him along as a soldier of the youth brigade. Many in Amethi remember him from the days when he used to pedal a cycle around Amethi. They saw him as a common man and a Gandhi loyalist who has been entrusted with the tough task of taking on the sitting MP Smriti Irani. On the challenge from his rival, KL Sharma sounds confident of the support of people, who he claims, have accepted the decision of the Congress high command that a person among them has got the ticket in Amethi. I consider myself as the sewak of Gandhis, he says. Local Congress leaders see it as a strategic move by the party not to let the Amethi election turn into a Smriti vs Rahul contest. They want it to be an issue based poll and feel Smriti Irani is no match for the stature of Rahul Gandhi despite his 2019 loss. With Rahul not contesting from Amethi, BJP and Congress chalk out fresh strategy Popular among the locals as a low profile, humble person with good behaviour, Sharma hails from Ludhiana, Punjab, and his association with the Congress deepened after Rajiv Gandhis death in 1991. He began working with Captain Satish Sharma in Amethi and then also worked very closely with Sonia Gandhi in Amethi where he was in charge of the constituency when she contested in 1999. For a few years, he was in charge of both the Amethi and Rae Bareli constituencies where Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi used to be in the fray. Later, he moved to Rae Bareli with Sonia Gandhi as Rahul had his own team. Now with his family, including his wife and one of his two daughters, camping with him in Amethi and conducting his campaign, Sharma sounds confident that top Congress leaders including the Gandhis will leave no stone unturned to ensure the success of his campaign as they believe that he can defeat Smriti Irani and reclaim the family bastion. He refuses to respond to the diatribe of BJP candidate Smriti Irani who, along with the BJP top leadership, is claiming that by not contesting from Amethi, Rahul Gandhi has already conceded defeat. I dont want to respond to her. Let people decide. It will amount to arrogance if we comment on the result of the election beforehand. Lets wait for June 4. He claims that people will vote for him as there has been no development in Amethi during the last five years. On the delay in the announcement of the candidate and commencement of the Congress campaign in Amethi, Sharma says, The organisation has been working silently on the ground and the management related to electioneering is already over. Our frontal organisations in Amethi work round the year. It's not that we get active only when elections are there. Speaking about the main issues on the ground, Sharma says the non-fulfilment of promises by the BJP during the last 10 years has annoyed people. Unemployment, Agniveer, stray cattle and price rise are big issues for common people. Instead of making value addition to the existing infrastructure developed during the previous Congress governments, the BJP closed the factories and institutions in Amethi, he says.
BJP has fulfilled all its promises, Union minister Rajnath Singh
Bhubaneswar : Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had almost fulfilled all its promises and taken the country to new heights of development. He also stated that the good governance of the Narendra Modi government had lifted countless people from the vicious poverty cycle and offered them an opportunity to lead a decent life. The Narendra Modi government has almost fulfilled all the promises it made to people before coming to power in 2014. It abrogated Article 370 after getting a full majority. We had announced construction of Lord Ram Temple and we fulfilled our commitment, said Singh. He added, The Congressmen used to mock us on the Ram Mandir issue. But our Prime Minister made it happen and it shows our character. On abolition of Triple Talaq, the Union minister said a lot of people had warned the BJP not to interfere in matters of other religions. However, the BJP went ahead with its resolve to abolish this to do away with the injustice meted out to Muslim women in the pretext of Triple Talaq, he observed. Be it Hindus, Muslims, Christian or Sikh, if there is any injustice to any women, the BJP will stand by them, said Singh. Criticising the Congress, the minister said, Terrorists recently attacked our convoy in Jammu and Kashmir. A Congress minister from Punjab said that it was an election stunt. Will we attack our soldiers? What do they (Opposition) want to do with our nations security? Earlier, there used to be terrorist attacks in every part of the country. After BJP came to power, there has been a sharp decline in terror attacks in the country. Stating that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had once said that only 15 paisa reached the poor from Rs 1 sent by the Centre, Singh said PM Modi ensured that the poor availed the whole sanctioned amount without any corruption. Nobody in the country thought of providing free ration but now, 80 crore people in the country are getting benefits. India is growing at a rapid pace, Singh added. The Union minister predicted that the BJP will win all the 21 Lok Sabha seats in Odisha and form the government in the state by getting an absolute majority in the 147-member State Assembly.

Congress in Tight Contests: War of Rivals in Ludhiana Against BJP's Ravneet Bittu
Congress in Tight Contests: War of Rivals in Ludhiana Against BJP's Ravneet Bittu It is a ''fight against betrayal''. This is how Congress nominee from Punjab's Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat Amrinder Singh Raja Warring describes his electoral battle against former party colleague, and now BJP candidate, Ravneet Singh Bittu. Bittu, who had won the seat for the Congress in 2014 and 2019, quit to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on March 26, just 10 days after the announcement of the parliamentary polls. ''This is a (electoral) fight against betrayal, the way he (Bittu) deceived the party, the party' workers and the people,'' Warring, 46, who is also the Punjab Congress chief, told PTI. ''Punjabis do not like 'dhokhebaaz'. I think it is one-sided and it is clear that Bittu will not win this election at all,'' said the three-time MLA from Gidderbaha in Muktsar district. Warring, who is being seen as the Congress' best bet to retain Ludhiana, considered a bastion of the party with consecutive wins since 2009, exuded confidence that he will be victorious. He also rejected Bittu's charge that the Congress has fielded an ''outsider''. The BJP candidate levelled the charge against Warring as he is an MLA from Gidderbaha. Then by this logic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an ''outsider'' as he is contesting from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and BJP leader Smriti Irani -- contesting from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh -- is also an ''outsider'', Warring said. In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, Bittu, who is the grandson of former Punjab chief minister the late Beant Singh, had won from Anandpur Sahib, while Ludhiana in that year was won by Manish Tewari. On the Bittu's ''outsider'' jab at him, Warring said BJP leader Hans Raj Hans is the sitting MP from North West Delhi but now he is contesting Faridkot in Punjab. The Congress leader said such a statement shows Bittu is ''unnerved''. ''They (BJP) do not have any issue. What is an outsider? I am Punjab Congress president and Punjab Congress president is not an outsider,'' Warring said. He said for the people of Punjab only that person matters who raises their issues and that of the country Besides Bittu and Warring, Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Ashok Parashar and Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) Ranjit Singh Dhillon are also contesting the polls from Ludhiana, which goes to polls along with the other 12 seats in Punjab on June 1 in the last and seventh round of the general elections. To a question that the AAP is seeking votes on the basis of works done in the past two years by the Bhagwant Mann-led government in Punjab, Warring lashed out at the current dispensation in the state, saying, ''I do not think they (AAP) have a single achievement. They have destroyed Punjab and this is their only achievement.'' ''Law and order has collapsed, the drug problem has spread, illegal sand mining has gone up, state debt has risen, corruption has increased,'' Warring, a former Indian Youth Congress president and former transport minister, said. ''This is the 'badlav' (change) they (AAP) brought in the state,'' the Congress leader said as he accused the AAP of being unable to deliver on its pre-assembly poll promises. On his political rivals, Warring said the BJP and its former ally SAD are nowhere in Punjab. ''They are fighting for survival,'' he said. Trashing the AAP's claim of winning all 13 seats in Punjab, Warring claimed that the Congress will win the maximum number of seats in the state.

Pak wheat crop devastated: 29 dealers face legal action in Narowal fertiliser scam
Pak wheat crop devastated: 29 dealers face legal action in Narowal fertiliser scam The agricultural landscape of Narowal district in Pakistan has been marred by a counterfeit fertiliser and pesticide scandal, with devastating consequences for farmers. Following laboratory tests on samples from 46 companies, authorities have taken legal action against 29 dealers accused of distributing fake agricultural inputs, Dawn reported. The repercussions of this fraudulent activity have been severe, particularly for wheat farmers in the region. Wheat crops spanning 2,173 acres have been decimated, resulting in an estimated loss exceeding PKR 300 million for the affected farmers. In 2024, out of Narowal's expansive 4,58,000 acres of agricultural land, wheat cultivation covered 3,15,680 acres. However, farmers faced significant challenges due to shortages of essential fertilisers like DAP and urea. Forced to resort to the black market, they found themselves paying exorbitant prices to unscrupulous dealers, as reported by Dawn. Despite their efforts to protect their crops with timely pesticide applications, the use of counterfeit products proved catastrophic. Farmers, like Muhammad Abrar from Chak Amro Tehsil, Shakargarh, discovered too late that the fertilisers and pesticides they had purchased were fake, resulting in the ruin of his 19-acre wheat crop. Similarly affected was Kulsoom Bibi, a widow from Noonar Town, Narowal, who lamented the complete failure of her nine-acre wheat crop due to the use of counterfeit inputs. Muhammad Sharif of Kot Nainan, who had invested borrowed funds into wheat cultivation, found himself burdened with insurmountable debt when his crop, along with those of numerous other farmers, was destroyed by fake fertilisers and pesticides. Recognising the plight of the farmers, Muhammad Tanveer, Deputy Director of Agriculture in Narowal, spearheaded efforts to address the crisis. FIRs were lodged against the implicated fertiliser dealers following the damning laboratory results. Tanveer emphasised that strict legal action would be taken against companies whose products were found to be counterfeit. The toll of this deception is staggering, with the destruction of wheat crops across 2,173 acres in Narowal district. The affected farmers, reeling from their losses, have called upon Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to intervene urgently and provide much-needed relief, Dawn reported.

How has IPL contributed to Dream11s growth? CMO Vikrant Mudaliar answers
In the past few years, the online fantasy sports industry in India has experienced massive growth , reflecting the increasing popularity and engagement of users. The number of fantasy sports operators has increased by seven times over 2016-2018, whereas the number of users has grown by over ~25x from June 2016 to Feb 2019. Out of the total revenue of this sector, Dream11 dominates the fantasy sports landscape with a 42.2% share , establishing itself as one of the dominant players in this space, according to media reports . The fantasy platform is now worth INR 65,000 crore. Founded in 2008, the journey of Dream11 began gaining significant public attention a decade later in 2018, with its first television campaign, Dimaag se Dhoni, conceptualised by Leo Burnett Orchard. The initial campaign was meant to introduce the concept of fantasy sports to a broader Indian audience, helping the audience understand the basics of team creation and point scoring. That year, Dream11 was reported to have a 90% share of the local market . Its position in the market was further solidified after striking a four-year partnership with the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2019. The initial wave of its IPL campaigns was focused on Dream11s functionalities with a dash of star power. With a continued straightforward approach to ads and adding more flavour to them year-on-year, in the form of humour and creativity, Dream11 was successful in becoming the most recalled brand in IPL 2023. It was this year that the fantasy platform gained a profit of INR 188 crore. This led to Dream11 expanding its partnership with IPL in 2024, becoming the official partner for eight teams. Dream11's marketing strategy has evolved significantly since then, as highlighted by its Sab Khelenge and 'Team Se Bada Kuch Nahi' campaigns, conceptualised by Tilt Brand Solutions. These recent campaigns have showcased rivalry and friendly banters between a diverse set of personalities from cricket, film, and digital content creation. This shift in strategy from functional storytelling to creating an emotional connection highlighted Dream11s transition from a platform to a cultural phenomenon. Vikrant Mudaliar , Chief Marketing Officer, Dream Sports takes us through the brands marketing journey from its inception to securing the highest recall among viewers, and further shares how IPL has contributed to the platforms growth. Edited Excerpts: Dream11 has been associated with IPL since 2019. How has your association with IPL impacted your brand image? How has the tournament been so far in terms of ROI? Every year, marquee tournaments like the IPL are when Dream11 adds a large percentage of new users to the platform. In 2023, we increased our user base to over 200 million, reached a peak concurrency of 11.52 million users during the tournament, and importantly, attracted 75% of users from Tier 3 and 4 cities. We also welcomed 55 million new users to our platform, a growth also partly fueled by women gamers. This year we have already hit remarkable milestones with 15.01 million peak concurrency and 2.35 million new users registering over the first weekend of the IPL tournament. Our marketing efforts around the IPL play a big role here since user acquisition is a core priority. Dream11's campaigns have consistently encouraged viewers to engage more with cricket, nudging them from being casual sports fans to active ones, ultimately boosting sports consumption and engagement. Every year, our goal is to surpass previous successes, elevating the impact of each campaign and providing a more enriching experience for our user base, which now exceeds 200 million. Dream11 recently launched a star-studded campaign featuring cricketers, actors, musicians and influencers. What was the objective behind incorporating such a varied group of individuals into the campaign? How has the campaign been received so far? In our campaign last year, Sab Khelenge, we adopted a unique approach by leveraging cricketers and Bollywood celebrities, two of the most influential cultural icons in the country. This was a great learning and helped us reach diverse audiences beyond cricket fans. Therefore, this year, we decided to take our campaign one notch higher and brought on board cricket legends as well as well-known non-cricket celebrities from film, television and social media. Team Se Bada Kuch Nahi highlights the shift from collective solidarity during the bilateral cricket season to personal team allegiances in the IPL. As a brand that prides itself on entertaining sports fans during a tournament, we thought it fitting to entertain and bring the most classic sporting trope - rivalry - to the forefront while reaching a wider audience base through a relatable narrative. The reaction to our advertising campaign has been overwhelmingly positive. We believe this campaign very seamlessly connects back to Dream11's brand and platform, which has a symbiotic relationship with cricket. In contrast to other brands, Dream11 has been featuring both cricketers and non-cricketers in its advertising campaigns since last year. How has this approach contributed to the brand's identity and resonance with its audience, and what insights can be drawn from this strategy? Our campaigns aim to attract sports fans who might not currently be involved in cricket content, with a focus on enhancing engagement for existing users through multiple channels. Our ongoing efforts to appeal to audiences beyond traditional cricket fans result in more inclusive brand narratives, leveraging the broader popularity of endorsers beyond cricket. Moreover, this strategy expands our geographical footprint, building on the achievements of 2023 and driving growth in 2024. What is the larger marketing objective of your association with IPL and how has the recent campaign contributed to this goal? A key marketing goal at Dream11 is user acquisition. We've seen over 2 million users join the platform at the beginning of the IPL season. Additionally, we continuously evaluate our marketing strategies to ensure they remain engaging and relevant. This includes updating our campaigns and exploring themes that appeal to sports enthusiasts while staying true to the spirit of cricket and the values of the IPL. This year, our campaign encompasses an array of ambassadors, including cricket stars, movie and TV personalities, sports icons, musicians, and online influencers. They come together to celebrate the essence of friendly competition and sportsmanship in cricket, a sentiment that deeply connects with today's cricket enthusiasts. According to a research agency survey, Dream11 was the top brand that captured viewers' attention securing the highest recall among viewers. What would your advice be for the brands taking the celebrity route this season and want to gain high recall? In a highly cluttered market, brands opting for celebrity endorsements must tread with precision. The key lies not just in choosing popular faces but in aligning them seamlessly with your brand values. Choose celebrities who have a genuine connection to your brand or industry, as this authenticity can significantly impact resonance among viewers. Also, it is important to stay agile and leverage data insights to optimise your approach and achieve standout recall amidst the clutter. What does Dream11s media mix look like right now? What are the key mediums that the brand is looking at to generate buzz on social media? This season, Dream11 is a proud co-sponsor of the LIVE broadcast on Star Sports and Jio Cinema. Our collaboration includes significant advertising presence and brand integrations during the telecast. Given our strong association with cricket, these integrations will seamlessly blend into the context of the match. This year we have also strengthened our associations with eight IPL teams, and have elevated our associations with four franchises to Principal Sponsorships namely Gujarat Titans, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad to have the Dream11 brand prominently displayed on the front of the team jerseys. Can you tell me a bit about Dream11s overall marketing strategy? Some common themes and patterns theyve followed over the years and some significant campaigns that have helped shape its journey to a great extent? Each season we take up the challenge to stand out amongst most advertising brands, not just within our category. Our campaigns always take a lighthearted, fun and relatable approach, through everyday stories rooted in the love for sports to deeply resonate with our users. Everything we do, including marketing, is with a user-first lens. This also extends to partnerships with like-minded sports leagues and personalities to increase fan engagement and bring users closer to the sport they love. For start-ups looking to gain high visibility from a platform like IPL and are operating on a tight budget, can you share any tips? Theres no one-size-fits-all approach, but getting it right would involve some basics: Identify your target audience within the IPL viewer demographic and tailor your marketing efforts specifically to reach them. This ensures that every rupee spent on marketing has a higher chance of converting into valuable visibility. Look for influencers who have a genuine connection with your industry or niche and develop content that resonates with IPL viewers while aligning with your brand message. How does Dream11 allocate its annual marketing budget towards the IPL partnership? Although we can't disclose such numbers, the IPL does account for a significant percentage of our annual marketing budget. Can you provide insights into Dream11's user demographics, including monthly active users (MAU) and the ratio of male to female consumers? Additionally, what trends or observations have emerged regarding the growth of female participation in fantasy sports on the platform? It's undeniable that the number of women engaging in sports and utilising sports engagement platforms is increasing, with the first season of the Women Premier League (WPL) attracting over 50 million views in its initial week. This also renders itself to the growth of female fantasy sports users - we have noticed an approximately 80% year-on-year rise in our female user base on our platform, and a majority of users on our platform overall are situated in Tier 3 cities and beyond. Platforms like the WPL not only promote the consumption of the sport but also propels the growth of its engagement. Moreover, such formats offer brands the chance to establish an inclusive environment and demonstrate their support for women in sports. At Dream Sports, we're passionate about and actively involved in promoting women's participation in sports in India. Our association with the WPL is a testament to this commitment, and we're devoted to continually supporting the advancement of women in sports, both as participants and viewers. Lastly, what are some of the IPL marketing trends that you foresee this season? This season, the inclusion of more digital platforms in the broadcasting mix is set to boost the accessibility and viewership of the IPL significantly. The digital sphere also enables more personalised and interactive marketing efforts, ensuring stronger engagement with the audience. Influencer marketing continues to be on the rise, especially for brands looking to initiate engagement with niche audience sets.
Residents of Punjab Lane to Move to New Permanent Address: DyCM Prestone Tynsong
Residents of Punjab Lane to Move to New Permanent Address: DyCM Prestone Tynsong Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said the residents of the Punjabi Lane area here have decided to relocate to a permanent location and a final decision will be taken early next month. Tynsong who is also the chairman of the High-Level Committee constituted by the state government on the matter, also met members of the Harijan Panchayat Committee and deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar who is also in charge of the Urban Affairs department. ''In the meeting, we have decided to go for complete relocation which means a permanent relocation,'' Tynsong said on Tuesday. He said the decision was taken after meeting with Harijan Panchayat Committee (HPC) on the ongoing talks to relocate 342 families from Them Iew Mawlong to another location identified, that is the old office of Shillong Municipal Board (SMB). Tynsong informed that it was a fruitful meeting and the delegation of the HPC has requested the government to allow them to have one more meeting with the residents of Them Iew Mawlong before both parties came to a conclusion. On reports of disparity on the actual numbers of settlers who are to benefit from the settlement, Tynsong said, ''I have already referred this particular case to the director of Urban Affairs to verify on the report, so now, we are waiting for that''. ''Let me just tell you one thing as far as the number of families is concerned, let the verification be over once the verification is done, then I will be able to come out clearly and justify on the RTI report'' he added. Meanwhile, general secretary of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee, Jagdeep Singh said that the residents of Them Iew Mawlong as well as the state government want an amicable solution with regard to relocation. Singh said that the discussion on relocation is not about the number of families residing in Them Iew Mawlong but a discussion for a permanent solution for all 342 families. He added the people residing in Them Iew Mawlong have been residing in the areas for centuries hence, a proper relocation is the need of the hour for all families who have served the state.
Setback for AAP in Punjab as Former Amritsar Deputy Mayor Joins BJP
A major blow hit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab as Avinash Jolly, the former Deputy Mayor of Amritsar, tendered his resignation from the party. On Tuesday, amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, Jolly made a significant move by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Amritsar. Narinder Singh, the BJP National Secretary, took to X to announce the development, stating, Avinash Jolly, former deputy mayor (Amritsar), along with hundreds of supporters, joined BJP at Amritsar, Punjab. The electoral landscape in Punjab gears up for voting across its 13 seats in a single phase. The final phase, scheduled for June 1, will witness polling in Gurudaspur, Amritsar, Khadoor Sahib, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nandpur Sahib, Ludhiana, Fatehgarh Sahib, Faridkot, Firozpur, Bathinda, Sangrur, and Patiala constituencies. Meanwhile, the nomination process for the Lok Sabha elections commenced in Punjab on May 7. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has deployed general and police observers for the 13 seats in Punjab to ensure the conduct of peaceful, fair, and transparent elections. These officials are slated to assume their duties starting May 14, as per a press release from the Punjab Information and Public Relations Department. Sibin C, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Punjab, disclosed that 13 IAS officers from various states have been designated as general observers, while seven IPS officers will serve as police observers. Their primary responsibility lies in ensuring strict adherence to the guidelines and directives laid down by the ECI, particularly concerning the Model Code of Conduct. Despite being allies in the opposition INDIA bloc, both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress have opted not to forge any seat-sharing arrangement in the state. In the previous Lok Sabha Elections of 2019, the INC-led UPA alliance clinched eight seats with a vote share of 40.6 percent, while the NDA managed to secure four seats with a voting percentage of 9.7. The AAP, marking its electoral debut, secured one seat. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and AAP secured four seats each, whereas the Congress bagged three seats. The BJP managed to secure only two seats. The third phase of the general elections concluded with polling for 93 Lok Sabha seats across 12 states and union territories on Tuesday.

After Channi's 'stuntbaazi' remark, Punjab Congress chief calls Pulwama attack 'mystery'
Punjab Congress chief Amardiner Singh Raja Warring on Wednesday stoked a fresh controversy as he called the 2019 Pulwama attack a mystery' and claimed that the ruling BJP can do anything to during elections'.

Those speaking Pakistan's language should be sent to jail: Maharashtra CM Shinde
THANE: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said those speaking Pakistan's language while living in India should be charged with treason and put behind bars as he dubbed the statements of opposition leaders Vijay Wadettiwar and Farooq Abdullah their frustration about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rise. These people are speaking Pakistan's language. Is it not treason against the nation? They are not able to tolerate the wave of patriotism that has spread out across the country under PM Modi's leadership. It's like Congress ka haath, Pakistan ke saath, Shinde told PTI here. He also hit out at former Maharashtra Chief Minister and former Union minister Sharad Pawar for doing othing for the state during his long stints in the state and Centre. He has been in Maharashtra politics, national politics for such a long time. Maharashtra should have progressed so much during this time. He was also the agriculture minister. What our government has done for farmers, no other government has been able to do so far.That I can say with full confidence, Shinde said. He said Rs 6,000 is being given by the Centre and the state government is adding another Rs 6,000 to it, making it Rs 12,000 for farmers every year. They are getting crop insurance for free. There are so many schemes for farmers and our government gives them top priority, he said. On what he called anti-India statements by several opposition leaders, the Shiv Sena leader said, They are speaking in Pakistan's favour and in their language. This is their misfortune only. But we will not leave those who speak against our country. These people should be jailed after being charged with treason. These people live in India and praise Pakistan. If Farooq Abdullah asks whether Pakistan is wearing bangles, who are these people? Are they Pakistani or Hindustani? Are they traitors or our own citizens? Such people should be put behind bars after charging them with treason, Shinde told PTI. Similarly, what kind of patriotism is raising questions about the death of a martyr, Hemant Karkare? Saying that it was not Kasab's bullet that hit him, is the same as what Pakistan used to say. Pakistan was also saying that Kasab was not their man but in the end, they had to accept he was a Pakistani citizen, he added. Shinde was responding to recent comments made by National Conference chief Abdullah, Congress' Wadettiwar and former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Wadettiwar, the leader of opposition in the Maharashtra state assembly, recently claimed that Karkare, who was the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief during the 26/11 terror attack, wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet but by one fired by a policeman affiliated to RSS. The Congress leader made the statement while attacking the BJP's Mumbai North Central candidate Ujjwal Nikam, who was the special public prosecutor in the 26/11 trial. NC president Abdullah, on the other hand, had said that dialogue is the only way to resolve issues between India and Pakistan as any confrontation will have serious consequences for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Reacting to a recent statement of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on taking back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister on Sunday said no one is going to stop him. Let the defence minister do it. Who is going to stop him? In any case, they will not ask us. But let them remember that they (Pakistan) are not wearing bangles, they also have an atom bomb. The unfortunate part is that the atom bomb will fall on us, he said. In an exclusive interview with PTI, Singh said India will never give up its claim on PoK but it will not have to capture it with force because the people of the region, on their own, would want to be part of the country after seeing the development in Kashmir. Channi, while replying to a question on the attack on the Indian Air Force's convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch, had said, 'Yeh stuntbaazi ho rahi hai, hamle nahi ho rahe' (These are all stunts, not attacks). Whenever elections are near, such stunts are performed to make the BJP win.There is no truth in it, he had said. One Indian Air Force (IAF) corporal was killed and four were injured as terrorists ambushed their convoy in Poonch district on Saturday, three weeks ahead of polling in Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha constituency. Under fire over his poll stunt remark, the Congress leader later said he was proud of the country's soldiers but targeted the Centre over the 2019 Pulwama terror strike, saying the government could not ascertain who carried out the attack. Shinde said the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 10 years is for everyone to see and these include schemes for women and youth, infrastructure projects, and road, rail, air and water connectivity. Today, India is talked about with respect in the entire world.That change has taken place.Today, India speaks and the world listens.It was not the case earlier.It's no more a majboor sarkar, it's a majboot sarkar.That's why we could avenge Pulwama with a Balakote surgical strike. It's the prowess of our country that the opposition is not liking.They are not able to digest it, he said.

IPL 2024: Porels Fifty Against RR Was A Special Innings, Says DC Assistant Coach Amre
New Delhi: In a batting line-up full of aggressive stroke-play batters, Abishek Porel left a lasting impression on the minds of fans watching the Delhi Capitals-Rajasthan Royals match on Tuesday. Granted that Jake Fraser-McGurk raced to a typically whirlwind 19-ball fifty and Tristan Stubbs sizzled with another exhibition of finishing matches to take DC past 200, but it was Porels 36-ball 65 which was the glue of the hosts innings in between to keep the scoreboard ticking. It has been quite a ride for Porel, who began IPL 2024 as an impact player, coming out to bat at number nine in DCs opener against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur. At that time, none of DCs main batters got a big knock and they needed a moment of brilliance to set a par score. Porel was drafted in as an Impact Player in place of Ricky Bhui and the young wicketkeeper-batter smashed 32 not out off just 10 deliveries, including taking 25 runs off the final over from Harshal Patel, to take DC to 174/9. Here in Delhi, Porel was tasked with opening the batting and had to initially contend with Fraser-McGurk, who carted Avesh Khan for 28 runs in the fourth over. But then he lofted and punched down the ground off Sandeep Sharma for a brace of fours. Once Fraser-McGurk fell to Ravichandran Ashwin, Porel stepped up to dazzle with his leg-side boundaries against both pacers and spinners. He got his first fifty of the season in 28 balls with a pulled six off Avesh in the 11th over. By the time he fell, he gave Stubbs the platform to script a good finishing act for DC. Pravin Amre, DCs assistant coach, hailed Porel for playing a measured knock which held DCs innings together. He made the news in our first game against Punjab (32 not out off 10 balls). It was something awesome as he wasnt getting sure of batting till the 18th over came. But then, he came and delivered. Its always gold when Indian batters score runs, so it was good to see him score big. As a coaching group, we were very happy with how he was batting in the nets. He plays against new ball very well and in two-three games he got a chance to bat up, he did well like he got 40-odd (41) against MI at number three. This fifty against RR was a special innings from him as once you get 78 runs in power-play, you get that momentum and to be there, Abishek played a very important role for the team, said Amre in the post-match press conference. Such has been the show of confidence in Porel, who joined DC as a replacement for Rishabh Pant in IPL 2023 and was subsequently retained by the franchise, that someone like Prithvi Shaw was kept out of the playing eleven on Tuesday. Winning by 20 runs is a good win on the Delhi wicket. We also wanted a leftie-rightie combination at the top and felt that Warner is not 100% fit. We cant drop Jake and wanted Porel to go up as Prithvi cant bat at places after number three. It was more of a technical call and it worked to be honest as we got 78 runs in first six overs, as on Delhi wicket, power-play is always important, added Amre. In the match, DC showed that its death-overs bowling, which has been their achilles heel so far, stood up to shine when it mattered the most by conceding only 20 runs in last three overs, and keep themselves alive in race to playoffs by jumping to fifth position. Kuldeep Yadav conceded only four runs, including taking out Donovan Ferreira and Ravichandran Ashwin, to start the time of turning the game in DC's favour. Rasikh Salam conceded only eight runs in a clutch 19th over, including bowling four yorkers, while Mukesh Kumar castled Rovman Powell in the final over. This years IPL has shown that any team can beat anyone and here, we batted well to get that extra 20 runs. We have to give credit to Stubbs as his 20-ball 41 was so important for the team to get past 220 runs. Then, RR needed 12 runs per over in their last five overs and Rasikh bowling yorkers in the 19th over was something special as he held Powell to step up for third straight time in the tournament. Again, Kuldeep bowling that important 18th over to get two wickets was so important. We do back Rasikh to come good as Mukesh is bowling well, Ishant is a veteran and Khaleel is in World Cup stand-by. But he comes and delivers for us as sometimes on the Delhi wicket, pace doesnt work as variation matters. Sometimes slower bouncers are so effective on this ground. Like in the high-scoring DC-SRH, Natarajan gave away only 19 runs in four overs. So, bowling on Delhi wicket is a work of skill, concluded Amre.

Headline should be changed to: Inflammatory Remarks by Shinde Condemned
Headline should be changed to: Inflammatory Remarks by Shinde Condemned Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said those speaking Pakistan's language while living in India should be charged with treason and put behind bars as he dubbed the statements of opposition leaders Vijay Wadettiwar and Farooq Abdullah their frustration about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rise. ''These people are speaking Pakistan's language. Is it not treason against the nation? They are not able to tolerate the wave of patriotism that has spread out across the country under PM Modi's leadership. It's like Congress ka haath, Pakistan ke saath,'' Shinde told PTI here. He also hit out at former Maharashtra Chief Minister and former Union minister Sharad Pawar for doing ''nothing'' for the state during his long stints in the state and Centre. ''He has been in Maharashtra politics, national politics for such a long time. Maharashtra should have progressed so much during this time. He was also the agriculture minister. What our government has done for farmers, no other government has been able to do so far. That I can say with full confidence,'' Shinde said. He said Rs 6,000 is being given by the Centre and the state government is adding another Rs 6,000 to it, making it Rs 12,000 for farmers every year. ''They are getting crop insurance for free. There are so many schemes for farmers and our government gives them top priority,'' he said. On what he called anti-India statements by several opposition leaders, the Shiv Sena leader said, ''They are speaking in Pakistan's favour and in their language. This is their misfortune only. But we will not leave those who speak against our country. These people should be jailed after being charged with treason.'' ''These people live in India and praise Pakistan. If Farooq Abdullah asks whether Pakistan is wearing bangles, who are these people? Are they Pakistani or Hindustani? Are they traitors or our own citizens? Such people should be put behind bars after charging them with treason,'' Shinde told PTI. ''Similarly, what kind of patriotism is raising questions about the death of a martyr, Hemant Karkare? Saying that it was not Kasab's bullet that hit him, is the same as what Pakistan used to say. Pakistan was also saying that Kasab was not their man but in the end, they had to accept he was a Pakistani citizen,'' he added. Shinde was responding to recent comments made by National Conference chief Abdullah, Congress' Wadettiwar and former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Wadettiwar, the leader of opposition in the Maharashtra state assembly, recently claimed that Karkare, who was the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief during the 26/11 terror attack, wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet but by one fired by a policeman affiliated to RSS. The Congress leader made the statement while attacking the BJP's Mumbai North Central candidate Ujjwal Nikam, who was the special public prosecutor in the 26/11 trial. NC president Abdullah, on the other hand, had said that dialogue is the only way to resolve issues between India and Pakistan as any confrontation will have serious consequences for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Reacting to a recent statement of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on taking back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister on Sunday said no one is going to stop him. ''Let the defence minister do it. Who is going to stop him? In any case, they will not ask us. But let them remember that they (Pakistan) are not wearing bangles, they also have an atom bomb. The unfortunate part is that the atom bomb will fall on us,'' he said. In an exclusive interview with PTI, Singh said India will never give up its claim on PoK but it will not have to capture it with force because the people of the region, on their own, would want to be part of the country after seeing the development in Kashmir. Channi, while replying to a question on the attack on the Indian Air Force's convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch, had said, '''Yeh stuntbaazi ho rahi hai, hamle nahi ho rahe' (These are all stunts, not attacks).'' ''Whenever elections are near, such stunts are performed to make the BJP win. There is no truth in it,'' he had said. One Indian Air Force (IAF) corporal was killed and four were injured as terrorists ambushed their convoy in Poonch district on Saturday, three weeks ahead of polling in Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha constituency. Under fire over his ''poll stunt'' remark, the Congress leader later said he was proud of the country's soldiers but targeted the Centre over the 2019 Pulwama terror strike, saying the government could not ascertain who carried out the attack. Shinde said the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 10 years is for everyone to see and these include schemes for women and youth, infrastructure projects, and road, rail, air and water connectivity. ''Today, India is talked about with respect in the entire world. That change has taken place. Today, India speaks and the world listens. It was not the case earlier. It's no more a majboor sarkar, it's a majboot sarkar. That's why we could avenge Pulwama with a Balakote surgical strike. ''It's the prowess of our country that the opposition is not liking. They are not able to digest it,'' he said.

Water woes and traffic snarls key issues in Rajendra Nagar
NEW DELHI: Nestled in the heart of Delhi, Rajendra Nagar emerged as a sanctuary for Punjabi refugees from Pakistan post-partition. Over the years, it has transformed into a bustling educational hub, attracting thousands of students annually who are eager to prepare for various government exams, particularly the UPSC. The locality is replete with coaching centres, alongside supporting establishments like restaurants, bookstores, libraries, and numerous paying guest accommodations. However, the surge in the student population has not been warmly received by all. Long-standing residents have seen their tranquility disrupted. Rajendra Nagar once was a serene residential colony, but now its swamped with students, causing severe traffic congestion, laments Kartar Singh, a long-time inhabitant. Alongside traffic woes, residents grapple with erratic water supply, overflowing sewers, and roads marred by potholes. The nearby locales of Pandav Nagar and Budh Nagar face similar distress. The political landscape of the Rajendra Nagar assembly constituency has seen notable shifts. Originally a BJP bastion, the area came under AAPs control when Vijendra Garg clinched the seat in 2013 with 53.59% of the vote. The subsequent elections bolstered AAPs presence, with Raghav Chaddha winning in 2020 with 57.06% of the votes. Following Chaddhas move to the Rajya Sabha, AAPs Durgesh Pathak sustained the partys dominance in a 2022 by poll, defeating BJPs Rajesh Bhatia by a margin of 12,000 votes. In the broader political arena, Rajendra Nagar is part of the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, secured by BJPs Meenakshi Lekhi in 2014 and 2019 by substantial margins. The BJP has introduced a new candidate, Bansuri Swaraj, a distinguished Supreme Court lawyer and daughter of the late Union Minister and Delhi Chief Minister Sushma Swaraj. Bansuri Swaraj faces a formidable opponent in the INDIA alliance candidate, AAPs Somnath Bharti, a seasoned politician who has triumphed in three consecutive elections from the prominent Malviya Nagar assembly constituency. The interplay of inadequate water supply0, persistent traffic congestion, and crumbling infrastructure, alongside the shifting political dynamics, are crucial elements set to shape voter attitudes in Rajendra Nagar as the constituency approaches a pivotal election. The elections in the national capital wil be held on May 25, in the sixth phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha polls with the counting of votes of June 4. All seven seats of the Delhi are presently ruled by the BJP.

Three men accused in Canadian Sikh leader's death appear in court
Three men accused in Canadian Sikh leader's death appear in court The three men accused of murdering Canadian Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year in a killing that triggered a diplomatic crisis between Canada and India appeared briefly in a British Columbia courtroom on Tuesday. Karanpreet Singh, 28, Kamalpreet Singh, 22 and Karan Brar, 22, all Indian nationals, face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The three appeared via video link wearing orange prison uniforms. Nijjar, 45, was shot dead in June outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb with a large Sikh population. A few months later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prompted a diplomatic crisis with New Delhi when he cited evidence of Indian government involvement in Nijjar's death. Canadian police said Friday they are probing whether the three accused had ties to the Indian government. India has denied involvement in Nijjar's death. Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Saturday India will wait for Canadian police to share information on the three accused. One of our concerns which we have been telling them is that, you know, they have allowed organized crime from India, specifically from Punjab, to operate in Canada, Jaishankar said. Nijjar was a Canadian citizen campaigning for the creation of Khalistan, an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India. The presence of Sikh separatist groups in Canada has long frustrated New Delhi, which had labeled Nijjar a errorist. Canadian Sikh leaders have called for Canada to investigate Indian interference in Canadian affairs. Nijjar's longtime friend Moninder Singh called the arrests in his friend's death ittersweet last week.

Nirav Modi bail refused for 7th time despite having spent 5 yrs in jail
Indian fugitive Nirav Modi had bail refused for the seventh time at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday despite claiming he would never want to abscond Britain as, if he did, he could be tracked down by Indian secret service agents who, he claimed, had targeted people in the US and Canada. Nirav has been in jail since his arrest in London in March 2019 on an extradition warrant to face trial in India for defrauding Punjab National Bank (PNB) of over $1 billion (a little over Rs 8,344 crore now) as well as interfering with witnesses and evidence.
'In '18, Amarinder refused to let Trudeau plane land unless he meets'
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and his defence minister Harjit Singh Sajjan were not allowed to land in Amritsar in Feb 2018 until they had agreed to meet the then Punjab CM, Capt Amarinder Singh, according to a report in Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper, on Tuesday. The newspaper's report comes within days of the arrest of three Punjabi youths in connection with the murder of pro-Khalistan separatist and chief of the banned Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) Hardeep Singh Nijjar (45), designated a terrorist by India.
