KOLKATA: Bengal governor C V Ananda Bose Monday led a team of security personnel and sniffer dogs in a “search operation” at Raj Bhavan following allegations by Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee “arms and ammunition were stacked within its premises”. Banerjee dismissed the exercise as “child’s play”.”Governor Bose led the team of personnel, comprising Kolkata police officers and central forces, the bomb squad and dog squad, to find out whether there are arms and ammunition stacked inside,” a Raj Bhavan official said. Bose, who was on a trip to north Bengal, cut that short to spearhead the operation, which started from the ground floor of Raj Bhavan around 2.15pm, an official said. “There was also deployment of personnel at Raj Bhavan Police Outpost. Officials of disaster management and civil defence departments also participated in the search,” the official added.Raj Bhavan was evacuated and members of civil society and journalists were allowed to accompany Bose during the exercise, which was “live-streamed”. Banerjee said: “…Why would anyone call police unless they have cleaned up the place? This is all child’s play. He would not have to resort to such antics if he only followed the Constitution in letter and spirit… Actually, he has fallen in his appraisal sheet (among other governors) before the Union home minister. He is desperate to make amends. Let him complain against me in LS…”Earlier, after “nothing surfaced following the search”, Bose threatened strong action against Banerjee as per legal provisions for his “baseless allegations”.

Eighteen members of a family were among at least 45 Umrah pilgrims from Hyderabad charred early Monday in a bus inferno triggered by a highway collision with a fuel tanker while travelling from Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Shoeb, the lone pilgrim to survive, escaped because he was seated beside the driver when the bus burst into flames after ramming into the tanker around 1.30am (11pm IST). Both men broke through a window and jumped. Hyderabad police commissioner V C Sajjanar said the 46 passengers were part of a 54-member group that flew from the city to Saudi Arabia on Nov 9. They were to return on Nov 23 after visiting Islam’s holiest site. “Four members of the group hired a car to travel to Medina after completing Umrah rituals. Another four stayed back in Mecca,” Sajjanar said. The victims include 22 women and 11 children. Shoeb, whose brother also travelled to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage but wasn’t on the bus, remains in intensive care at Saudi German Hospital with injuries to his arms and legs. “I spoke to Shoeb.

Eighteen members of a family were among at least 45 Umrah pilgrims from Hyderabad charred early Monday in a bus inferno triggered by a highway collision with a fuel tanker while travelling from Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Shoeb, the lone pilgrim to survive, escaped because he was seated beside the driver when the bus burst into flames after ramming into the tanker around 1.30am (11pm IST). Both men broke through a window and jumped. Hyderabad police commissioner V C Sajjanar said the 46 passengers were part of a 54-member group that flew from the city to Saudi Arabia on Nov 9. They were to return on Nov 23 after visiting Islam’s holiest site. “Four members of the group hired a car to travel to Medina after completing Umrah rituals. Another four stayed back in Mecca,” Sajjanar said. The victims include 22 women and 11 children. Shoeb, whose brother also travelled to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage but wasn’t on the bus, remains in intensive care at Saudi German Hospital with injuries to his arms and legs. “I spoke to Shoeb. Going by what he said, some passengers were asleep during the crash. He was lucky to be in the cabin with the driver,” his sibling, Mohammed Sameer, told TOI over phone.

The Supreme Court has mandated states to demarcate tiger reserve core and buffer areas within six months and implement comprehensive conservation plans in three months. A steering committee led by chief ministers will oversee implementation, with tourism now subject to National Tiger Conservation Authority guidelines.  NEW DELHI: Aiming to strengthen the existing regime for tiger protection, the Supreme Court on Monday issued a slew of directions to the states including giving a six-month deadline to demarcate and notify core and buffer areas of tiger reserves and put in place within three months comprehensive tiger conservation plans (TCPs).In one of his last of important judgments prior to retirement on Nov 23 relating to protection of environment, flora and fauna, CJI B R Gavai-led bench said a steering committee headed by the chief minister would be constituted for each tiger reserve within two months for implementation of the directions of the expert committee set up on SC’s directions by the Union ministry of environment forest and climate change.The tourism in tiger reserves, which often turned into noisy late-night parties, would now have to conform to the guidelines set by the National Tiger Conservation Authority. The expert committee recommended designating tiger reserves and corresponding eco-sensitive areas as ‘silence zones’ and phasing out night safaris and banning the stay of tourists in core areas at night. On the presence of religious sites within tiger reserves, the bench said the influx of devotees must be regulated to avoid disturbance to the wildlife. Importantly, the bench focused on improving the service condition of forest guards and personnel.Asking the ministry of environment and forest and central empowered committee to set up a special cell to give a report within a year on staffing pattern and cadre requirement in all tiger reserves, the bench said states will, based on the report, fill the posts. SC barred states from outsourcing of core patrolling roles and scientific posts and other personnel integral to management of tiger reserves.The forest staff should be permitted to retain their accommodation at a place of their choice while they are posted in remote areas.

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May was a “trailer” and that India is fully prepared to “teach” the adversary responsible behavior if needed. He also highlighted improved India-China relations and India’s strong deterrence against Pakistan’s nuclear threats, emphasizing that “talks and terror cannot go together.” 12 NEW DELHI: Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May was just an “88-hour trailer” without the film actually beginning, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi said Monday, warning that the Indian armed forces were fully ready to “teach” the western adversary “how to behave responsibly” if the need arose in future.General Dwivedi also said relations between India and China have improved a lot since Oct last year after dialogue among the leaders of the two nations to usher in “normalcy”, with military commanders on the ground also regularly meeting to resolve local issues.Addressing a curtain raiser event of the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, the Army chief delivered a stern message to Pakistan by stressing that as per the “new normal” India will continue to consider terrorists and their supporters alike.”Blood and water cannot flow together. Talks and terror cannot go together. India focuses on progress and prosperity. If someone creates obstacles in our path, then we will have to take some action against them,” he added.Alluding to Pakistan’s nuclear sabre-rattling, General Dwivedi said “India is in a position today where it is not scared of any blackmailing”. India has the political will and military capabilities, which are increasing by the day, for the requisite deterrence, he said.”Deterrence works only when the adversary believes you will act the way you warn them…the other side takes your resolve seriously. Today, our deterrence is working,” he said. On lessons learnt from Op Sindoor, General Dwivedi stressed the importance of integration among the Army, IAF, Navy and other forces, the need for timely decision-making at every level of the command chain, and ensuring proper ammunition and other supplies for even long-drawn out battles.He said the situation in J&K has improved significantly after the scrapping of Article 370 in Aug 2019. “After this, political clarity has come. There has been a huge decline in terrorism…,” he said, adding that of the 31 militants eliminated this year, over 60% were of Pakistani-origin.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar, Russian FM Lavrov Hold Key Talks in Moscow Ahead of Putin’s India Visit ‘In 3 Weeks’India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Imports Despite U.S. Sanctions HeatBangladesh Seeks Hasina’s Return As India Notes ICT Tribunal Verdict, Calls For Peace And Stability’This Generation Can Bring Viksit Bharat Before 2047’: Army Chief Dwivedi’s Message To Gen ZHasina Verdict Sparks Outrage as Ex-Indian Envoy Questions Evidence and Awami League Cries Black DayPak Army Chief Asim Munir Vows ‘Strong Response’, Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Op Sindoor Was A TrailerPM Modi Condoles Families as 45 Indians Feared Dead in Saudi Bus CrashOusted Bangladesh PM Hasina Calls ICT’s Death Sentence ‘Rigged’, Says It Denied Fair Trial RightsFrench Consulate Staffer Molested In Bandra As Mumbai Police Launch Rapid Hunt To Track The SuspectAfter 5th August 2019…’ Army Chief Counters Mehbooba’s Charge Against Centre Over J&K Situation123PhotostoriesSecond innings as Bollywood favourites return and shine all over againKarisma Kapoor’s grace, talent and magnetic screen presence continue to define timeless Bollywood beauty for every generationFrom ‘Dil Tu Hi Bata’ to ‘Mayabini’: Zubeen Garg’s first birth anniversary:his best songsBirthday special: Nayanthara’s 5 best performances that seal her name as the ‘Lady Superstar’Zubeen Garg birth anniversary special: Lesser-known facts about the legendNayanthara birthday special: Social media moments with Vignesh Shivan and the twinsLemon, olive oil and more: 7 natural remedies to help relieve constipationZubeen Garg’s birth anniversary special: Films that define his cinematic journeyWhat happens when you eat garlic soaked in matha (buttermilk)This simple at-home test can reveal how fast your digestive system works123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodaySheikh Hasina VerdictBihar Government FormationGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingQTCinderellaTravis KelceKlay ThompsonAuston Matthews Net WorthDana WhiteTrey Benson InjuryLaMelo BallGiannis AntetokounmpoZion WilliamsonWho is Ella Hakkinen

The Supreme Court has finally taken up a plea to lift a seven-year-old ex-parte stay on a CBI probe into tiger poaching in Jim Corbett National Park.  The investigation, initially ordered by the High Court, reportedly suggested connivance of forest officials with poachers. The court granted three weeks for a response to the plea.  NEW DELHI: It was an ex-parte interim stay order by Supreme Court on a CBI probe into tiger poaching in Jim Corbett National Park, but it has continued to be in force for the last seven years. On Monday, Supreme Court finally issued notice on a plea for lifting the stay to pave the way for investigations into the case. A bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria agreed to hear the plea after senior advocate Meenakshi Arora and lawyer Govid Jee brought it to the court’s notice that the stay order had been in operation for the last seven years despite the CBI’s preliminary enquiry suggesting “connivance of forest officers/officials with poachers”.Arora, appearing for environmentalist Atul Sati, told the apex court that the CBI report had suggested the involvement of the officer who got the stay order from the court. The counsel for the officer countered her plea and sought time to file a response. The court thereafter granted the lawyer three weeks’ time. CBI filed an application in 2023 for lifting the stay order passed by the apex court in 2018. On Sept 4, 2018, the HC had ordered a CBI probe into all poaching cases in the state in the past five years, to find out the “complicity, involvement or collusion” of serving forest department officials in such incidents.

Former Congress MP Husain Dalwai ignited controversy by linking the Red Fort blast to “injustice” in Kashmir and questioning its timing during the Bihar elections. The BJP swiftly condemned his remarks, accusing the Congress of justifying terrorism and speaking the language of separatists. Dalwai later clarified he condemns violence but maintained his stance on alleged injustice in Kashmir.  NEW DELHI: Former Congress MP Husain Dalwai sparked a controversy Monday by linking the Nov 10 Red Fort blast to “injustice” in Kashmir and questioning its occurrence during the Bihar elections, drawing instant condemnation from BJP as it targeted the opposition party for its “justification” of the terror act. Dalwai asked why such incidents occur during elections and demanded a probe into this, a remark that seemed to suggest that the blast was timed to coincide with the Bihar polls’ second phase of voting (Nov 11). He then went on to allege that injustice is being done in Kashmir, which will have some consequences. BJP hit back at Congress, accusing the party of speaking the language of separatists in Kashmir. “MMC (Muslim League Mao Congress) justifies Red Fort blast. Quotes former home minister P Chidambaram in defence. Shame,” said BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya using the description that PM Narendra Modi used post-Bihar polls to attack Congress.Malviya’s colleague, Shehzad Poonawalla lashed out at the Congress leader for refusing to condemn “Islamic jihad”. “After Mehbooba Mufti, now Hussian Dalwai jumps in to become a spin doctor for terror. In a sense he gives clean chit to the Delhi blast accused,” he said.As his remarks drew criticism, Dalwai sought to clarify it and said there is no doubt that terrorists were behind the blast and that he can never support violence.

Former Congress MP Husain Dalwai ignited controversy by linking the Red Fort blast to “injustice” in Kashmir and questioning its timing during the Bihar elections. The BJP swiftly condemned his remarks, accusing the Congress of justifying terrorism and speaking the language of separatists. Dalwai later clarified he condemns violence but maintained his stance on alleged injustice in Kashmir. NEW DELHI: Former Congress MP Husain Dalwai sparked a controversy Monday by linking the Nov 10 Red Fort blast to “injustice” in Kashmir and questioning its occurrence during the Bihar elections, drawing instant condemnation from BJP as it targeted the opposition party for its “justification” of the terror act. Dalwai asked why such incidents occur during elections and demanded a probe into this, a remark that seemed to suggest that the blast was timed to coincide with the Bihar polls’ second phase of voting (Nov 11). He then went on to allege that injustice is being done in Kashmir, which will have some consequences.

The Supreme Court strongly rebuked a petitioner for filing a contempt petition against a district judge, calling it an abuse of process. The bench directed the petitioner to deposit Rs 5,000 to the SC Legal Services Authority and advised them to approach the High Court with their grievances instead.  NEW DELHI: “This is not how you can treat our judges,” Supreme Court on Monday told a petitioner who sought initiation of contempt proceedings against a district court judge for allegedly “not obeying the order of the apex court.”A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna & R Mahadevan took strong exception to the petitioner for seeking proceedings against a additional district and sessions judge of Himachal Pradesh and refused to let off the petitioner when the lawyer pleaded to allow him to withdraw the contempt petition. “You can not get away like this.

The court said the petitioner can move HC challenging the order of the lower court and raise grievances there but not by filing contempt proceedings against the judge.

The Election Commission has ordered a special revision of Assam’s electoral roll for the upcoming assembly polls, with January 1, 2026, as the qualifying date. This mandatory house-to-house verification aims to include all eligible citizens without requiring proof of eligibility. Details of ‘doubtful’ voters will be carried forward pending tribunal orders.  NEW DELHI: Election Commission on Monday ordered a ‘special revision’ (SR) of the electoral roll in Assam, due for assembly polls next year, with Jan 1, 2026, as the qualifying date. The SR will involve mandatory house-to-house (H2H) verification but differs from the special intensive revision (SIR) in that it will not seek documentation from any elector to prove their eligibility to vote.The state poll machinery would ensure that every eligible person who fulfils the criteria under Article 326 of the Constitution – being a citizen of India, not less than 18 years, and an ordinary resident not disqualified under any law or of unsound mind – is included in the roll.As regards ‘doubtful’ voters, or ‘D’ voters – suspected illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, classified as such by EC in 1997, who remain on the rolls but are not allowed to vote – EC said their particulars will be carried forward to the draft electoral roll without any change. “Any modification, including removal or deletion, shall be made only upon receipt of any order from the competent foreigner tribunal or an appropriate court of law,” ordered the poll panel.The pre-revision activities for the SR exercise in Assam shall begin on Tuesday, followed by actual revision from Nov 22 to Dec 20. An integrated draft electoral roll will be published on Dec 27, followed by the filing of claims and objections from Dec 27 to Jan 22, 2026. These will be disposed of by Feb 2, and the final roll will be published on Feb 10.Explaining the rationale behind not ordering a SIR in Assam, a senior EC functionary said the legal criteria to determine citizenship, including the cutoff date, is different for Assam vis-a-vis the rest of the country. Also, while a national register of citizens (NRC) was prepared for Assam in 2019, the final data is yet to be published, and Supreme Court is seized of the matter. Conducting a SIR at this juncture would have led to a conflict between SIR and NRC data. In any case, over 10,000 citizenship challenges are still pending before foreigners tribunals, the functionary said.On use of the nomenclature “special revision” and not the usual “annual or special summary revision”, the EC officer said that Section 21(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, terms any roll revision by EC with a different procedure as “special” revision. EC also avoided the term “summary” revision as it signifies a non-serious exercise not necessarily covering H2H verification. “This exercise will require the mandatory three H2H visits by BLOs to get the forms signed by each elector,” said the officer.During the field verification, BLOs will be given a pre-filled register listing the existing electors. They will collect information on voters who are dead, registered at multiple places or permanently shifted, as well as roll corrections in Statement 1, on unenrolled eligible citizens in Statement 2, and on prospective electors in Statement 3.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.

The Supreme Court expressed concern over states permitting liquor sales in small tetra packs, likening them to juice containers and highlighting potential risks to children. This issue emerged during a trademark dispute between whisky producers Allied Blenders and John Distillers, where tetra packs constitute a significant portion of sales in some regions.  NEW DELHI: With a fight over trademark between two major whisky producers revealing that a major part of their sales is through small tetra packs in south-west India, a startled Supreme Court on Monday wondered why states are permitting such packaging of liquor.”This is very dangerous. It looks like a juice tetra pack. Imagine it falling into the hands of children? The parents and teachers won’t even suspect that tetra packs contain intoxicants,” said a concerned bench of CJI-designate Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi.The case involved Allied Blenders, which manufactures ‘Officer’s Choice’, and John Distillers, which markets its whisky under the brand name ‘Original Choice’. Appearing for John Distillers, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi said that both companies have more than Rs 30,000 crore of sales and that in Karnataka alone tetra packs account for 65% of the business.In an interesting turn to their business rivalry, both companies had approached the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) seeking rectification of trademarks used by each other. By a common order, the IPAB had dismissed both petitions saying there was nothing so similar in the trademarks as to confuse consumers.However, on Nov 7, a division bench of Madras HC ordered rectification of ‘Original Choice’ trademark for its similarities with ‘Officer’s choice’. This was challenged before SC, where bottles of various shapes and tetra packs were shown to the bench.With advocates Harish Salve, A M Singhvi and N K Kaul representing Allied Blenders pitted against Mukul Rohatgi and Shyam Divan appearing for John Distillers, the bench asked, “Despite the ferocious fighting in different forums, is there a chance of compromise?”With both parties agreeing to attempt a compromise through mediation, the bench requested retired SC judge L Nageswara Rao to act as a mediator to reach an amicable settlement over the high-spirited dispute over the label on whisky products of both companies.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar, Russian FM Lavrov Hold Key Talks in Moscow Ahead of Putin’s India Visit ‘In 3 Weeks’India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Imports Despite U.S. Sanctions HeatBangladesh Seeks Hasina’s Return As India Notes ICT Tribunal Verdict, Calls For Peace And Stability’This Generation Can Bring Viksit Bharat Before 2047’: Army Chief Dwivedi’s Message To Gen ZHasina Verdict Sparks Outrage as Ex-Indian Envoy Questions Evidence and Awami League Cries Black DayPak Army Chief Asim Munir Vows ‘Strong Response’, Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Op Sindoor Was A TrailerPM Modi Condoles Families as 45 Indians Feared Dead in Saudi Bus CrashOusted Bangladesh PM Hasina Calls ICT’s Death Sentence ‘Rigged’, Says It Denied Fair Trial RightsFrench Consulate Staffer Molested In Bandra As Mumbai Police Launch Rapid Hunt To Track The SuspectAfter 5th August 2019…’ Army Chief Counters Mehbooba’s Charge Against Centre Over J&K Situation123PhotostoriesNayanthara birthday special: Social media moments with Vignesh Shivan and the twinsLemon, olive oil and more: 7 natural remedies to help relieve constipationZubeen Garg’s birth anniversary special: Films that define his cinematic journeyWhat happens when you eat garlic soaked in matha (buttermilk)This simple at-home test can reveal how fast your digestive system worksWorld’s 5 underrated travel destinations to bookmark, and whyFrom wanting to find a boyfriend in Bigg Boss Marathi to their age-gap; Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel open up about their love story3 common mistakes to avoid while consuming fruits and why5 stunning purple coloured animals that seem to be painted by artistsFrom playgrounds to healthy lifestyle: Sachin Tendulkar’s parenting tips for today’s families123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodaySheikh Hasina VerdictBihar Government FormationGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingQTCinderellaTravis KelceKlay ThompsonAuston Matthews Net WorthDana WhiteDraymond GreenLebron JamesPaige GrecoZelina VegaCharlie Mcavoy Injury

India’s Chandrayaan-4 lunar sample-return mission, a complex joint effort with Japan, is slated for a 2028 launch. This initiative aims to explore lunar resources and develop crucial operational technologies. Concurrently, ISRO is progressing with its manned lunar mission target of 2040 and the Bharatiya Antariksha Station by 2035.  NEW DELHI: The Chandrayaan-4 lunar sample-return mission, which recently received the Centre’s approval, is likely to be launched in 2028, Isro chairman V Narayanan has said. Isro is set to launch seven more satellites, including the liftoff of a PSLV rocket made entirely by the industry in the current financial year.The Isro chief said the Chandrayaan-4 mission will be India’s most complex lunar endeavour yet. “We are targeting 2028 for Chandrayaan-4,” he said. Chandrayaan-4 is also called LUPEX (Lunar Polar Exploration Mission) and is a joint programme between Isro and Japan’s space agency Jaxa. The LUPEX project is aimed at exploring the Moon for water and other resources and gaining expertise in exploring the surface of the Moon. “Acquiring technologies needed for rovers and landers to operate in the harsh lunar environment is very important for pursuing space exploration,” said Jaxa.Narayanan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed Isro to work towards sending Indian astronauts to the lunar surface and bringing them back safely by 2040. India’s planning for a manned lunar mission comes against the backdrop of the US gearing up to send crewed missions to the Moon under the Artemis programme, most probably next year, and China setting a 2030 target for its first crewed landing on the Moon.On the Gaganyaan mission, Narayanan said only the timeframe for uncrewed missions has been shifted, and there is no change in the manned mission schedule. “The uncrewed mission was targeted for 2025. The crewed mission was always planned for 2027, and we are holding on to that date,” he said.Narayanan said Isro has also begun work on Bharatiya Antariksha Station, targeted for completion by 2035. “The first of the five modules will be placed in orbit by 2028,” he said. The mission, if successful, will make India the third country to operate a space station — the US-led multi-country station ISS is nearing the end of life and will be deorbited in year 2030 and China’s Tiangong station is moving into full gear.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar, Russian FM Lavrov Hold Key Talks in Moscow Ahead of Putin’s India Visit ‘In 3 Weeks’India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Imports Despite U.S. Sanctions HeatBangladesh Seeks Hasina’s Return As India Notes ICT Tribunal Verdict, Calls For Peace And Stability’This Generation Can Bring Viksit Bharat Before 2047’: Army Chief Dwivedi’s Message To Gen ZHasina Verdict Sparks Outrage as Ex-Indian Envoy Questions Evidence and Awami League Cries Black DayPak Army Chief Asim Munir Vows ‘Strong Response’, Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Op Sindoor Was A TrailerPM Modi Condoles Families as 45 Indians Feared Dead in Saudi Bus CrashOusted Bangladesh PM Hasina Calls ICT’s Death Sentence ‘Rigged’, Says It Denied Fair Trial RightsFrench Consulate Staffer Molested In Bandra As Mumbai Police Launch Rapid Hunt To Track The SuspectAfter 5th August 2019…’ Army Chief Counters Mehbooba’s Charge Against Centre Over J&K Situation123PhotostoriesWhat happens when you eat garlic soaked in matha (buttermilk)This simple at-home test can reveal how fast your digestive system worksWorld’s 5 underrated travel destinations to bookmark, and whyFrom wanting to find a boyfriend in Bigg Boss Marathi to their age-gap; Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel open up about their love story3 common mistakes to avoid while consuming fruits and why5 stunning purple coloured animals that seem to be painted by artistsFrom playgrounds to healthy lifestyle: Sachin Tendulkar’s parenting tips for today’s familiesFrom ‘Sacred Games’ to ‘Panchayat’: Web series that turned Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat and others into digital icons7 addictions one should break to become their best selfMalaika Arora to Demi Moore: 5 must-see looks of the day ruling the style charts123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodaySheikh Hasina VerdictBihar Government FormationGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingKayla NicoleAaron Rodgers InjuryShedeur SandersDubai Prince Sheikh Hamdan Net WorthRohini AcharyaDraymond GreenLebron JamesPaige GrecoZelina VegaCharlie Mcavoy Injury

The National Investigation Agency has arrested Jasir Bilal Wani from Srinagar. He is linked to Delhi suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi. Wani’s father died after setting himself ablaze. Investigations reveal Wani provided technical support for terror attacks. He allegedly modified drones and attempted to make rockets. The NIA is continuing its search for all involved in the bombing.  SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) announced Monday the arrest of a Kashmiri college student from Srinagar linked to Delhi suicide bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi, hours after the suspect’s father died in hospital of burns suffered in a purported immolation attempt outside their home in Anantnag district’s Qazigund.Jasir Bilal Wani, aka Danish, had been detained four days ago for interrogation along with his paternal uncle Nabeel Wani, a physics teacher.The family said Jasir’s father Bilal Ahmad Wani, 55, was summoned by police last Saturday and he returned home “distressed”. The next morning, Bilal walked out of his house in the Wanpora neighbourhood of Qazigund and set himself ablaze, resulting in severe burns. The dry fruits trader died at Srinagar’s SMHS Hospital early Monday.NIA issued a statement confirming that Jasir’s interrogation over the past few days yielded clues to the Delhi blast, including what the agency said was his “active involvement” in the car blast that killed 14 people and wounded over 30 people.”Investigations have revealed that Jasir allegedly provided technical support for terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly car bomb blast,” NIA said. “The accused was a co-conspirator who worked closely with the terrorist, Umar Un Nabi, to plan the terror carnage. NIA continues to explore various angles to unravel the conspiracy behind the bombing.”Multiple teams are working on leads and searching for suspects across states “to identify every person involved in the terror attack”, the agency said.Jasir’s arrest was announced a day after NIA took into custody Amir Rashid Ali, a resident of Samboora in Pampore, for conspiring with Nabi. The car used in the explosion was registered in his name.The Wanis are neighbours of Dr Adeel Rather, arrested from UP’s Saharanpur on Nov 6 on suspicion of being part of the “white-collar terror module”.PDP chief and ex-CM Mehbooba Mufti blamed police “high-handedness” for Bilal immolating himself. In a post on X, accompanied by a picture of a man with burns across his back, she wrote, “Petrified about their (Bilal’s son and brother) safety he pleaded with the authorities to just see them, which was denied.

Iran has suspended its visa-waiver facility for Indian passport holders starting November 22, 2025, following incidents where Indians were lured with false job promises and subsequently kidnapped for ransom. The Ministry of External Affairs advises vigilance against agents offering such arrangements. This action aims to curb the misuse of the visa-free entry for criminal activities. ANI file photo The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday issued a travel advisory after Iran suspended its visa-waiver facility for ordinary Indian passport holders. The suspension takes effect on November 22, 2025, from when Indian nationals will be required to obtain a visa to enter or transit through Iran.The move follows multiple incidents in which Indian nationals were allegedly lured to Iran on false job promises or assurances of onward travel to other countries.According to the MEA, several Indian nationals were deceived with fake job offers or promises of onward travel to third countries and were encouraged to use Iran’s visa-free entry to make the journey. Once they arrived, many were reportedly kidnapped for ransom.”The attention of Government has been drawn to several incidents of Indian nationals being lured to Iran on false promises of employment or with assurances of onward transit to third countries. These individuals were tricked into journeying to Iran by taking advantage of the visa waiver facility available for ordinary Indian passport holders. On arrival in Iran, many of them were kidnapped for ransom,” the MEA said through a statement. In response, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has halted the visa-free entry provision to prevent further misuse.The MEA has strongly advised Indians planning to travel to Iran to “remain vigilant” and to avoid any agents offering visa-free entry or transit arrangements via Iran.Earlier this year, a 26-year-old man from Karala in northwest Delhi was reportedly kidnapped and held in Iran. The victim, Himanshu Mathur, was detained for a week and released after his family paid a ransom of Rs 20 lakh.Mathur was reportedly kidnapped and held in Iran after being lured with promises of a job and Australian work visa. He initially contacted Aman Rathi, who convinced him to complete a 15-day course in Noida and later arranged for him to travel to Jakarta and then Tehran. Instead of proceeding to Australia, Mathur and Rathi were abducted in Chabahar and held by a gang.In a separate case, a young man from Amritsar, who had hoped to move to the United Kingdom, reportedly fell victim to an international visa scam and was held hostage in Iran. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of Rs 50 lakh for his release. Gurpreet Singh, a resident of Granthgarh village in Ajnala Tehsil, had travelled to Iran on September 14, believing a UK visa would be arranged for him from there.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
