Mumbai: A man died after he was knocked down by a speeding dumper in Mulund (W) on Saturday, police said. The incident occurred at 1 pm in a busy lane at Mulund Colony when Suresh Rajput (37) was crossing the road. Police arrested the dumper driver, Brijesh Yadav (26), who fled after abandoning the vehicle, fearing mob fury.“Yadav was arrested later after he fled away from the spot. He has been booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for causing death due to negligence, rash driving, and under the Motor Vehicles Act. He was not drunk at the time of incident and was later released on bail as it is a bailable offence,” said a police officer of the Mulund police station.Rajput died about three hours after he met his elder brother Vijay (50), before leaving in search of work. Vijay, employed as a bodyguard, told TOI, “The incident has shaken our bedridden mother (68). My brother does whatever job he gets. I was at my workplace when I received a call from my friend alerting that my brother has met with an accident. I rushed to the hospital only to learn that he died before admission at the hospital.”BJP MLA Mihir Kotecha demanded the suspension of BMC deputy chief engineer Navnath Gadge, holding him responsible for the incident. Kotecha claimed Rajput was killed on the spot and said it was the third such incident in the past few months. He said he raised the issue in the Legislative Assembly and the govt issued directions, but they were not followed.“Ghadge is responsible for the incident, for repeated accidents involving dumpers in the area. Earlier incidents include a dumper overturning in the first week of Dec and the death of a girl in Amar Nagar, Mulund, four months ago after being hit by a dumper,” said Kotecha.Kotecha further said he earlier raised the issue, warning against the movement of overloaded dumpers through densely populated residential areas of Mulund. “There is an alternative route available, but instead of developing it, 300 to 400 dumpers pass through Mulund Colony every day, posing a serious risk to residents. The govt had directed that dumper movement should not be allowed through this stretch and that work should begin only after an alternative road was developed,” he said.

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has arrested seven people linked to a transnational cybercrime syndicate that used illegal SIM box technology to defraud citizens across India. Investigators said the accused, including a Taiwanese national and a woman, had links to Chinese, Cambodian and Pakistani scam networks. A SIM box is a device that holds multiple SIM cards and enables fraudsters to bypass legitimate telecom networks by rerouting international calls through local numbers. Police said the accused exploited this technology to carry out a large-scale “digital arrest” scam. The accused have been identified as Parvinder Singh (38), Shashi Prasad (53), I-Tsung Chen (30), Sarbdeep Singh (33), Jaspreet Kaur (28), Abdus Salam (33) and Dinesh K (30), residents of Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab and Taiwan. According to police, the racket, operational since Sept last year, is estimated to have cheated thousands of victims of around Rs 100 crore. Victims received calls from fraudsters impersonating Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) officials. The callers falsely accused them of links to terror incidents such as the Pahalgam attack and the Delhi blasts, threatened immediate arrest and coerced them into transferring money under intense psychological pressure. Investigators found that the fraud calls were deliberately routed through low-frequency 2G networks to evade real-time location tracking. Though the calls appeared to originate from Indian numbers, they were actually placed from abroad—primarily Cambodia—and routed into India via SIM box installations. Police said the syndicate used sophisticated techniques to evade detection, including overwriting and rotating IMEI numbers and merging multiple SIM box units into a single virtual system. This resulted in call records showing the same number originating from multiple cities on the same day, misleading law enforcement agencies. DCP (IFSO) Vinit Kumar constituted a team that first arrested Shashi Prasad, custodian of a SIM box setup in Delhi, and Parvinder Singh, an active facilitator. The duo allegedly operated from five locations in the capital, knowingly enabling international cyber fraud. Further investigation led to the arrest of I-Tsung Chen at Delhi’s international airport. Police described him as the operational backbone of the syndicate, responsible for smuggling and configuring SIM box devices in India. Interrogation revealed his alleged links to a Taiwan-based organised crime network led by gangster Shang Min Wu, known for kidnapping, financial fraud and money laundering. Analysis of the Delhi setup pointed to additional SIM box hubs in Mohali, Punjab, resulting in the arrest of Sarbdeep Singh and Jaspreet Kaur. Both had previously worked in Cambodia-based scam centres and were allegedly recruited by a Pakistani handler who funded and controlled SIM box installations in India. The probe later uncovered attempts to install SIM box systems in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, and Malad, Mumbai, leading to the arrests of Dinesh K and Abdus Salam. Police said Dinesh had undertaken multiple foreign trips to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia, suspected to coordinate with cryptocurrency facilitators and financial handlers to launder extorted funds. Investigators said the scam operated through an international command-and-control structure, with Indian operations forming only the last link. Cambodia allegedly served as the recruitment and training base, Chinese nationals supplied and configured SIM box hardware, a Pakistani handler facilitated funding and IMEI manipulation, while Nepal functioned as a remote control centre directing operations in India. Police have seized 22 SIM box devices and 120 foreign SIM cards of China Mobile. Technical analysis revealed more than 5,000 compromised IMEI numbers and nearly 20,000 SIM cards embedded in the network. Further investigation is underway.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday pitched India as a stable and predictable investment destination at a time of global flux, telling investors that the country is witnessing an era of “unprecedented certainty” even as the world faces widespread uncertainty.“Amidst great global uncertainty, we are witnessing an era of unprecedented certainty in India. Today, India has political stability and continuity in policies,” Modi said, as quoted PTI, while inaugurating the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) for the Saurashtra and Kutch region in Rajkot.Highlighting India’s macroeconomic trajectory, the prime minister said the country is the world’s fastest-growing large economy and is steadily moving towards becoming the third-largest economy. “The figures that are emerging clearly show that the world’s expectations from India are constantly increasing,” he said, adding that Gujarat has played a significant role in the country’s recent rapid progress.Modi pointed to the expanding middle class and rising purchasing power as key drivers of India’s growth story. “India’s growth revolves around the mantra of ‘Reform, Perform, and Transform’,” he said, noting that global experts and institutions remain bullish on the country.Citing sectoral achievements, the prime minister said India is the world’s largest consumer of mobile data, UPI has become the world’s number one real-time digital transaction platform, and the country ranks among the top three globally in solar power generation and metro rail networks.“That is why I keep saying that this is the time, and it’s also the right time for every investor in the country and the world to take advantage of these opportunities,” Modi said.He specifically urged investors to look at the Saurashtra and Kutch regions, describing them as emerging growth anchors for India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat push. “Saurashtra and Kutch have a huge role to play in making India a global manufacturing hub, and this role is market-driven, which is what instils the greatest confidence in investors,” he said.The prime minister said the regions are no longer just areas of opportunity but have become “an anchor region for India’s growth”. He cited Alang in Bhavnagar district as the world’s largest ship-breaking yard, Morbi district’s dominance in tile manufacturing, and the Dholera Special Investment Region’s emergence as a hub for modern manufacturing.“India’s first semiconductor fabrication facility is being set up in Dholera,” Modi said, adding that the region offers early-mover advantages for future technologies. “The infrastructure is ready, the policy is predictable, and the vision is long-term,” he said.Earlier in the day, Modi inaugurated a trade show at Marwadi University in Rajkot ahead of the VGRC. Officials said more than 1,500 memoranda of understanding are expected to be signed with over 110 international buyers from 16 countries, including the US and several European nations. Over 1,800 business meetings have been scheduled during the Reverse Buyer Seller Meet.Leading corporates such as Torrent Power, KOSOL, Adani Green, Essar Group, Nayara Energy and Jyoti CNC are participating in the exhibition, spread across 26,000 square metres. More than 400 exhibitors from sectors including agro and food processing, fisheries, defence, energy, petrochemicals, engineering, ports and logistics have set up stalls at the trade show, officials said.

During the 1st ODI against New Zealand today (January 11, 2026), a breathtaking moment occurred in the 8th over that left Indian superstar Virat Kohli, and the entire Vadodara crowd, in absolute shock.

Virat Kohli left stunned as Glenn Phillips nearly pulls off an impossible catch to dismiss Shubman Gill

Facing Zakary Foulkes, Shubman Gill slashed a back-of-a-length delivery hard toward backward point, timing it so sweetly that it looked like a certain boundary. Glenn Phillips, widely regarded as the best fielder in world cricket, produced a ‘superman’ effort by launching himself horizontally to his left, appearing to hang in the air for an eternity.

Phillips managed to get a full hand to the ball while completely airborne, nearly plucking what would have been the catch of the decade. Virat Kohli, sitting in the dressing room, was seen with his hands on his head, his jaw dropped in utter disbelief at the sheer athleticism on display. Although the ball didn’t ultimately stick as Phillips hit the turf, the sheer audacity of the attempt forced Kohli to take a moment to process what he had just witnessed.

It was a heart-in-mouth moment for the Indian captain, who wore a sheepish smile afterward, knowing he had survived a piece of magic. The stadium, which had gone silent in anticipation of a wicket, erupted in applause not just for Gill’s survival, but for Phillips’ incredible gravity-defying feat. Commentators immediately drew comparisons to Jonty Rhodes, noting that Phillips is perhaps the only fielder today who could even get a finger to such a ball. Kohli continued to shake, still clearly reeling from how close New Zealand came to a miraculous breakthrough. This ‘near-miss’ has already become the viral highlight of the match, perfectly capturing the intensity of this opening ODI.

Daryl Mitchell’s counter-attack and Kohli’s milestone charge define Vadodara ODI

The 1st ODI between India and New Zealand at Vadodara has lived up to its billing, with New Zealand setting a challenging target of 301 after a roller-coaster first innings. Winning the toss and opting to bowl, India initially struggled to find an answer to the clinical opening pair of Devon Conway (56) and Henry Nicholls (62), who forged a dominant 117-run partnership.

The momentum shifted when young pacer Harshit Rana produced a double-strike to remove both set openers, followed by a middle-order squeeze led by Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj. New Zealand appeared to be stuttering at 237/6, but Daryl Mitchell played a magnificent, counter-attacking knock of 84 off 71 balls, laced with three massive sixes, to drag his side back into the game. A late cameo from debutant Kristian Clarke ensured the Kiwis reached exactly 300/8, marking a historic first innings at the new Kotambi Stadium.

In response, India lost Rohit Sharma for 26 after he smashed a world-record 650th international six, falling to Kyle Jamieson. This brought Kohli to the crease, who immediately injected high energy into the chase, racing to 26* off 19 balls with a flurry of exquisite drives and pulls. As the game stands, the partnership between Gill and Kohli is blossoming, with Kohli needing just a few more runs to reach the monumental landmark of 28,000 international runs. The atmosphere in Vadodara is electric, as fans anticipate a classic Kohli chase on the day of his daughter Vamika’s 5th birthday.

Delhi Capitals Women vs Gujarat Giants Women Live Score: Delhi Capitals will be keen to see a stronger showing from their top order after a disappointing outing against Mumbai Indians. Chasing 196, DC lost Lizelle Lee, Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp inside the first seven overs, never allowing the chase to settle. Batting depth was expected to be DC’s strength, given the relative inexperience in their bowling attack, but that advantage did not materialise. With another game coming quickly, the focus will firmly be on getting early runs and setting a platform this time around.

Gujarat Giants will take confidence from their opening win over UP Warriorz, a result that addressed early questions around their squad composition. Despite fielding several young and uncapped Indian players alongside overseas stars, GG delivered a complete performance to win by 10 runs. One of the standout contributors was 22-year-old Anushka Sharma, who scored a fluent 44 off 30 balls at No. 3. Her partnership with Ash Gardner formed the backbone of the innings and helped the Giants post a competitive total. GG also benefit from a slightly longer break after playing the afternoon game on Saturday.

NEW DELHI: Union minister and former Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday said no woman has ever held a decision-making post in the AIMIM, reacting to a statement by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi that India would one day have a burqa-clad woman as its prime minister.Also Read | ‘PM will always be a Hindu’: Assam CM counters Owaisi’s Muslim PM remark; BJP challenges AIMIM to appoint Pasmanda president“How many Muslim women has the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen actually given tickets to as MLAs or MPs? How many Muslim women hold real decision-making posts in the Majlis? Slogans cannot hide zero representation,” Kumar posted on X. He also recalled the 2018 Telangana assembly elections, in which the BJP fielded a Muslim woman, Syed Shahezadi, against Owaisi’s brother, Akbaruddin, who went on to win.“She was threatened, targeted, and defeated. This is your true face. Today, she serves on the National Commission for Minorities,” the BJP leader added.The minister added that the BJP has a minority wing and grooms women leaders, and asked Owaisi what the AIMIM has “beyond rhetoric.” The Karimnagar Lok Sabha MP also accused the Hyderabad MP and the AIMIM of “intimidating” women activists who raise their voices against the party.Also Read | ‘A tubelight in his mind’: Asaduddin Owaisi hits back at Himanta Biswa Sarma over ‘only Hindu will become PM of India’ remark“We understand your fear. Muslim women can see your hypocrisy clearly. Many view Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji as an elder brother who acted in their interests instead of confining them. BJP empowers women irrespective of religion. Asaduddin Owaisi, on the other hand, speaks of empowerment while imposing restrictions on women in party, public life, and even at home,” Kumar posted.Addressing an election rally on Friday in Maharashtra’s Solapur ahead of the January 15 civic polls, Owaisi said a hijab-clad woman would one day become India’s prime minister, as the country’s Constitution accords equal status to people from all communities, unlike in Pakistan, where members of only one faith can occupy top constitutional posts.
