  • Tushar Deshpande’s Instagram Story Adds Salt To RCB’s Wounds, CSK Star Delets It Later | Cricket News

    A Heartbreaking Defeat for RCB

    Royal Challengers Bangalore, riding high on a six-match winning streak, faced a crushing blow as their IPL 2024 campaign ended in the Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals. Despite posting a competitive total of 172/8, courtesy of valuable contributions from Virat Kohli (33 off 24) and Rajat Patidar (34 off 22), RCB’s efforts fell short. RR’s chase, spearheaded by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s explosive 45 off 30 balls and Riyan Parag’s composed 36 off 26, ensured they reached 174/6 in 20 overs, knocking RCB out of the tournament.

    Deshpande’s Instagram Faux Pas

    As RCB fans mourned yet another missed opportunity, Tushar Deshpande’s Instagram story added insult to the injury. The CSK pacer posted a photo of Bengaluru Cantonment railway station with the caption “CSK fans are built different,” subtly mocking RCB’s repeated failures. However, recognizing the insensitivity and potential backlash, Deshpande quickly deleted the post.

    Analyzing the Game: RCB’s Batting Woes

    RCB’s innings had moments of brilliance but lacked the finishing touch needed to secure a higher total. Kohli’s quickfire 33 and Patidar’s solid 34 laid a promising foundation, but the middle-order struggled to accelerate. Despite a spirited effort, the score seemed insufficient against a resilient RR side. Avesh Khan (3/35) and Ravichandran Ashwin (2/29) were instrumental in keeping RCB’s total in check.

    Rajasthan’s Resilience: Jaiswal and Parag Shine

    Chasing 173, RR faced early jitters but quickly found their rhythm with Jaiswal’s aggressive approach. His 30-ball 45 included some stunning boundaries, providing the necessary momentum. Parag’s calm demeanor under pressure was commendable, as he anchored the chase with a crucial 36 off 26 balls. The duo’s efforts were complemented by Rovman Powell’s late cameo (16* off 9), sealing the win for Rajasthan.

    Turning Points: Siraj and Ferguson’s Efforts

    Mohammed Siraj’s late strikes (2/33) gave RCB a glimmer of hope, dismissing Parag and Hetmyer in quick succession. Lockie Ferguson’s crucial breakthroughs, including the dismissals of Jaiswal and Kohler-Cadmore, momentarily shifted the game’s momentum. However, Powell’s calculated assault in the final overs dashed RCB’s comeback hopes.

    The Road Ahead for Rajasthan Royals

    With this victory, Rajasthan Royals advanced to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Qualifier 2, setting up an exciting clash for a place in the IPL final. RR’s win, breaking a four-match losing streak, reinvigorates their campaign and showcases their potential to go all the way.

    Social Media’s Double-Edged Sword

    Deshpande’s Instagram story serves as a reminder of the double-edged sword that is social media. While it can enhance fan engagement and provide a platform for personal expression, it also requires a level of sensitivity and awareness, especially in the heat of competitive sports. The incident underscores the need for athletes to exercise caution and empathy in their online interactions.

  • Pune Porsche Car Crash: Police Grills 3 Generations Of Agarwal Family Including Minor Acccused | Updates |

    Pune Porsche Accident: Pune Police on Thursday began questioning three generations of the city’s realtor family, the Agarwals, following the gruesome killing of two people on May 19 by a speeding Porsche, news agency IANS reported. They include Vishal S. Agarwal, his father Surendra Kumar Agarwal, and his minor son, who is accused of driving the Porsche at a dizzying speed of around 200 kmph while intoxicated, killing two Madhya Pradesh technicians just minutes later. Vishal S. Agarwal is being investigated for allegedly giving his minor son a Porsche with no registration and allowing the driver to let the underage boy drive it despite not having a driver’s licence. 

    During the grilling, he reportedly admitted that it was a ‘mistake’ to give the luxury car to his son on May 18 (Saturday) night, which resulted in the heinous tragedy on Sunday morning. Surendra Kumar Agarwal is under renewed scrutiny in a 15-year-old case of allegedly ordering a hit on Shiv Sena ex-corporator Ajay Bhosale over a business dispute in October 2009, and the matter is currently sub-judice, with the Crime Branch investigating alleged mafia ties with Rajendra Nikhalje, alias Chhota Rajan. Finally, the minor boy — labelled as the ‘Richie rich brat’, who grabbed national headlines—is being questioned by the concerned authorities at the Juvenile Correctional Home where he was shunted on May 22, after a massive public outcry and protests.

    According to the investigators, the boy spent at least Rs 48,000 on a party for about a dozen of his young friends at a restaurant and pub in Pune, where they were served a variety of imported hard liquors without being verified as to their age, and even kept the establishments open past the permitted hours. After the binge, the kids filed out, and the minor boy sped away in his Porsche, killing Ashwini Koshta and Aneesh Awadhiya, both 24, who were riding home on a motorbike after a reunion with friends that fateful morning. 

    Barely 15 hours later, the boy, ostensibly using his influential family connections, secured bail, was ‘punished’ by writing an essay on the Porsche tragedy, agreed to work for a fortnight with the Yerawada Traffic Police Department, and agreed to undergo medical counselling for alcohol de-addiction.

    As locals expressed outrage and the situation escalated politically, the Pune Police filed a review petition against the May 19 order, and on May 22, the Juvenile Justice Board cancelled his bail and sent him to the Juvenile Correctional Home for 14 days. Along with the Agarwals spanning three generations, three other accused in the same case were arrested on May 20: Cosie Restaurant owner Prahlad Bhutada, manager Sachin Katkar, and barman Sandeep Sangle. 

    They are currently in police custody until Friday (May 24) for allegedly serving alcohol illegally to a minor customer and his friends without verifying their identity or age. The State Excise Department raided and sealed the premises on

  • Trump Claims Biden Officials Were Ready to Shoot Him: What’s the Truth? ,

    Followers of former US President Donald J Trump received a startling email from ‘President Trump’ with a subject line stating, ‘They were authorised to shoot me!’ In the email, Trump alleged that the Biden administration was ‘locked & loaded’ to kill him when searching his home in 2022, reported the New York Times.

    According to reports, Trump’s email read, “You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable … Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger..”

    The readers thought it was a distress signal, but soon it was established as one of Trump’s fundraising appeals and attention-grabbing tactics.

    What Is The Truth?

    As per the New York Times’ report, the claims were false and misleading. The accusations solely relied on a misrepresentation of a standard Justice Department policy on the use of deadly force in its operations.

    Trump was talking about a newly revealed FBI document detailing the procedures for searching Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022. This document contained a standard statement about the “use of force” in such operations.

    According to the New York Times, the statement explained that officers can use deadly force only if they believe it’s necessary because the person poses an immediate threat of death or serious injury to the officer or someone else.

    In 2022, the FBI carried out the search when Trump was out of town and Mar-a-Lago was closed. As per reports, the FBI had coordinated with the Secret Service beforehand to ensure they could enter Mar-a-Lago smoothly. Everyone agreed to keep the operation subtle and avoid making it look forceful.
