Asia Cup Victory for India, Travel Ban on Former Nepalese PM Oli

India secured its ninth Asia Cup title by defeating Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final match. India won the toss in Dubai and elected to bowl, dismissing Pakistan for 146 runs. Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler, claiming 4 wickets. India successfully chased down the required 147 runs in the 20th over, with Rinku Singh hitting the winning boundary, and Tilak Varma scoring an unbeaten 69 runs. Simultaneously, Nepal’s interim government has placed a travel restriction on former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and four other prominent individuals. This action follows a probe into demonstrations that occurred on September 8-9, resulting in 72 fatalities. A three-member committee, formed to investigate the violent protests, is scheduled to present its report within three months. Moreover, Vijay’s political party, TVK, has filed a petition in the Madras High Court, requesting a CBI or SIT investigation into the tragic Karur stampede, where 40 people lost their lives, and several were injured. Additionally, Balkaur Singh, the father of the late singer Sidhu Moosewala, has declared his candidacy in the upcoming Punjab assembly elections, aiming to fulfill his son’s ambitions.
