3 min readMumbaiJul 14, 2026 01:06 AM IST Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting a doctor and nurses at the Dombivli civic hospital, applied for bail citing that he did not have any personal grudge against the doctor and was “helping citizens in his capacity as a public representative.” The bail plea cited health concerns faced by Mhatre including that he only has one kidney and suffers from high blood pressure. On Monday, Mhatre and three associates, who were also arrested in the case, were sent to judicial custody. The Thane city police presented Mhatre before a court via video conferencing citing possible law and order problems. “Mhatre and his three associates were produced before the court and remanded in judicial custody. His lawyer has applied for bail” a senior officer said. Mhatre’s lawyer Sanjay Dhanke said that since there was no recovery to be made from the accused by the police, they did not seek his custody.

Deool Band director on Shah Rukh’s trolling for helping film: ‘Where’s Hindu-Muslim in this?’ | Bollywood News

4 min readNew DelhiJul 8, 2026 04:53 PM IST Just two weeks ago, Shah Rukh Khan made headlines after Marathi filmmaker-actor Pravin Tarde revealed that the superstar had waived off a Rs 42 lakh bill for the Digital Cinema Package (DCP) of Deool Band 2, helping the film secure a theatrical release. Since then, the film has gone on to gross nearly Rs 100 crore at the global box office. While many praised Shah Rukh’s gesture, a set of trolls questioned why a Muslim actor had helped release a film centred on a Hindu deity. Responding to the criticism, Tarde had a firm message: kindness needs to be acknowledged. Speaking on the podcast Podkatta, Tarde said, “What is the Hindu-Muslim issue in this? He is a part of the film industry, and so am I. We approached his company seeking a discount because we only had Rs 12–13 lakh, while the bill was around Rs 43 lakh. Shah Rukh asked his team whether the film was good. They told him it was an excellent film, …

Congress mulls helping Vijay form ‘secular’ govt in Tamil Nadu after he reaches out for support Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president C. Joseph Vijay on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) reached out to the Congress, a constituent of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, seeking support to form the government in Tamil Nadu, as the debutant emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly, winning 108 seats, falling short of a simple majority in the 234-member House.  The national party, which won five seats, hinted it could extend support. In New Delhi, All India Congress Committee general secretary K.C. Venugopal confirmed that the TVK has formally sought Congress backing.  According to TVK sources, Vijay and senior leaders of the party have sought an appointment to meet Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Wednesday (May 6, 2026).  Being the leader of the single largest party, Vijay is likely to either stake a claim or seek additional time to form government.

Candace Owens-Laura Loomer doxxing: Is Loomer’s fiance helping? ‘Andrew Jacob Simpson’ claim comes up

Published by Parlour News

Conservative podcaster Candace Owens launched a scathing attack on far-right influencer Laura Loomer, after claiming that the latter had doxxed the former. Loomer, who has often been at odds with Owens, found ties worsening even more when the latter criticized President Donald Trump amid the Iran war. Loomer, who’s known for being a staunch Trump ally, put Owens squarely in her sights. Candace Owens claimed Laura Loomer’s fiance might be helping her doxx Owens and her family. (X/@LangmanVince, X/@JayTC53) In recent days, this attack has branched out to Owens’ husband George Farmer as well, who Loomer has accused of being in an accident. She also shared an alleged mugshot of Farmer and questioned whether Owens’ husband should be deported. Now, Owens, who’s somewhat of a firebrand herself on social media, has hit back. In the process, she seemingly revealed the identity of Loomer’s fiance. The far-right influencer had thus far taken great care to keep his name a secret so that he’d not get caught up in politics. However, with Loomer’s attacks being focused on …

How the University of Tennessee’s agricultural college is helping FIFA bring consistency to grass on football World Cup pitches?

4 min readApr 26, 2026 08:38 PM IST More Americans get screaming notices for unsatisfactorily mowed front lawns than parking tickets. They may not be batshit crazy about football or soccer, but Americans can get ridiculously pedantic and particular about their front yard grass or turf lawns. So when FIFA faced a knotty issue – eight of the sixteen stadiums hosting the World Cup were designed for artificial turf—and FIFA only used natural turf, USA’s ace grass experts were summoned. The University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville’s world-renowned turfgrass experts led a first-of-its-kind research collaboration with Michigan State University and FIFA, the global governing body for soccer, to set up the pitches. While the uneven bounce at Pan-Am drew criticism, the UT were confronted with the eventual question. “How can a soccer ball bounce the same on a pitch in Vancouver, Canada, and in Mexico City?” the UT website writes. So through a five-year research project, UT’s expert turfgrass team developed turfgrass systems along with irrigation, maintenance, and testing methods to produce identical pitches that were …

In Marvel’s fictional world, Daredevil, a blind lawyer with superhero strength, moves through courtrooms and guards the city streets with effortless precision. Cut to real life, and we have advocates like Amar Jain and Rahul Bajaj – both blind – who have dedicated themselves to making justice accessible to those who may otherwise struggle to secure it. Procedural complexities and limited access to legal aid continue to plague India’s justice system, particularly for the underprivileged, who toil to navigate structural, financial, and educational barriers. It was to plug this very gap that Delhi-based Jain and Bajaj set up ‘Justice Connect’ last year – a weekly, pro bono initiative that offers free legal aid to individuals through a structured phone consultation. One hour, many voices – how it all began Jain had just stepped into law school when, on the third day, he received a call from an acquaintance seeking legal advice about a potential divorce. Barely a full-fledged law student, but people were already turning to him for help. It didn’t take long for him …

How India’s Oil Strategy Is Helping Prevent A Global Price Shock Amid Strait Of Hormuz Crisis | India News

Published by Webster

Last Updated:March 12, 2026, 15:03 IST India’s decision to continue buying Russian crude ensures that these supplies remain part of the global market. India is currently the world’s third-largest oil importer and one of the biggest refining hubs. (Representational image) The war in West Asia has triggered one of the most serious disruptions to global oil supply routes in years. Rising tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel have affected shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow maritime passage that carries a significant share of the world’s crude oil trade. Attacks on vessels and fears of mines in the waterway have already slowed tanker traffic, raising concerns about a sudden spike in oil prices worldwide. Against this backdrop, India has unexpectedly emerged as a stabilising force in the global oil market. The role was acknowledged publicly by US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, who praised New Delhi for continuing to purchase crude oil even as supply chains face disruption. “India has been a great partner in maintaining stable oil prices around the …
