THANE: Nearly one-and-a-half months after a snake was found inside a toilet of Mumbai-Solapur Vande Bharat Express, Central Railway’s RPF arrested a 37-year-old man from Mumbra on Wednesday. The accused, Jagan Arjun Bhale, a resident of Nashik district, was traced through CCTV footage. The incident had occurred in coach C-16 of train no. 22225 when passengers spotted a rat snake inside the washroom.Railway staff sealed the toilet and informed the control room. The reptile was rescued at Solapur with the help of a snake catcher, said CR chief PRO Swapnil Nila. Investigators examined CCTV footage which showed Bhale releasing the snake inside the toilet after boarding the train at Thane.
With several guns trained at H-1Bs in the US and especially in Texas, several social media posts have now flagged home kitchen businesses being run by visa holders ‘illegally’. H-1B and their dependents H-4 visas are not legally permitted to do a side hustle in the US and the laws are so strict that content creators are not allowed to monetize their channels but people are advertising their small catering services in closed Facebook or WhatsApp groups hiding from the public eye and scrutiny, the allegations said. One such post showed that an Indian woman in McKinney is offering North Indian crusine for small parties and occasions, for minimum 12 to 15 people. The allegation pointed out that this is illegal by McKinney’s local laws as they must have a food establishment permit, have regular inspections and can not operate hot meal catering from a residential kitchen. The allegation pointed out that such operations are illegal on two counts: One, if they are on H-1B or H-4 visas, but if they are not visa holders, then also it is illegal as the Texas Cottage Food Law only allows baked goods to be made at a residential kitchen — not hot trays.
H-1B status authorizes the visa holders to work only for the specific employer that petitioned for (and received approval of) their H-1B petition, and only in the specific specialty occupation and conditions described in that petition. Any other employment whether it’s freelancing, driving for Uber/DoorDash, consulting on the side, independent contracting, running a side business that involves active work, or even some content creation/coding gigs is considered unauthorized employment by USCIS. The income may be small, and the clients may be outside the US.Passive income is allowed from investment, stocks, rental as long as they do not require the visa holder’s active participation.H-4 visa holders with EAD can own and operate a business as long as it does not violate any other laws.
As the high-stakes India-Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 clash looms on the horizon, the cricketing world has been ignited by a war of words between a former legend and one of India’s rising stars. The drama surrounding Abhishek Sharma has intensified, with the young opener battling a severe health crisis while facing scathing public criticism from across the border. While India’s medical team works around the clock to get their primary power-hitter match-ready for Sunday in Colombo, the psychological warfare has already begun.
Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has sparked a massive controversy by labeling India’s top-ranked T20 batter, Abhishek Sharma, as nothing more than a ‘slogger’ ahead of the blockbuster showdown. Speaking on the Pakistan talk show ‘Haarna Mana Hai’ on February 13, 2026, Amir questioned Abhishek’s technical foundation, claiming that the 25-year-old lacks the ability to tackle swinging deliveries and is prone to frequent failure. Amir’s comments were direct and provocative, aimed at unsettling the youngster during his recovery period:
“By whatever little I have seen, if you ask me honestly, I feel he is just a slogger… I don’t think he is technically sound. He just stands there and wants all balls to be bowled in a particular area. I will consider him a proper batter only when I see that the ball is swinging even slightly and he tackles it well.” Amir said.
Amir went even further by offering a tactical blueprint for Pakistani bowlers, suggesting that the best way to dismiss Abhishek is to target his body and use slower variations, as he believes the batter lacks the patience and technique for elite-level swing bowling. These remarks have drawn sharp reactions from Indian fans, who pointed to Abhishek’s staggering career strike rate of nearly 200 and his ability to dismantle world-class attacks as evidence of his unique talent.

“Honestly, he’s just a slogger. His chances of failure are high. He’s not a technically sound batsman. It’s not difficult to tackle such a batsman if you bowl on the body line. He will also struggle against slow balls.” pic.twitter.com/6lsABj8sdl

On the medical front, Abhishek Sharma is currently in a desperate race against time after a severe stomach infection saw him lose 2kg of weight and undergo hospitalisation earlier this week. In a candid video shared by teammate Arshdeep Singh, a visibly leaner Abhishek revealed the physical toll of the illness, which began after he consumed something in Mumbai on February 6. The infection, aggravated by a sudden weather shift in Delhi and high fever, resulted in significant fluid loss. The messaging from the Indian leadership has been mixed, creating a cloud of uncertainty over his availability for Sunday’s marquee clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium:
“Abhishek isn’t fine still, might take one or two games,” India captain Suryakumar Yadav stated cautiously at the toss against Namibia, hinting that the opener might be rested for the Pakistan game to ensure long-term fitness.
However, teammate Varun Chakravarthy provided a more optimistic update following India’s victory in Delhi:
“As far as I have spoken to him he looks good, he did some practice today also. He told me he is on the way.”
Abhishek has officially traveled with the squad to Colombo, where he will undergo a final endurance and strength test. While the “slogger” insults from Amir have spiced up the pre-match narrative, the real battle remains whether Abhishek can regain the 2kg of lost muscle and the match-stamina required to face Pakistan’s high-velocity attack on Sunday.

Tilak Varma has performed well against Pakistan in the latest Asia Cup final and will try to continue that success.Since Sri Lanka’s pitches usually help spinners, Varun Chakravarthy could be an important bowler for India in this match.
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid tributes to the soldiers, that were killed in the Pulwama attack 7 years ago calling them “brave heroes”.“Remembering the brave heroes who laid down their lives in Pulwama on this day in 2019. Their devotion, resolve and service to the nation remain forever etched in our collective consciousness. Every Indian draws strength from their enduring courage,” said PM Modi on X.Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi also remembered the soldiers saying, “My heartfelt tribute to our brave soldiers who were killed in the audacious terrorist attack in Pulwama in 2019. The nation shall forever remain indebted to them for their supreme sacrifice in the defence of Mother India.”Vice President CP Radhakrishnan also paid his tributes on the seventh anniversary of the attack. “I pay homage to the brave personnel who laid down their lives in the Pulwama terror attack. Their supreme sacrifice will forever remain etched in the nation’s memory and continues to inspire us to build a strong and secure India,” he said.On February 14, 2019, the Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir witnessed one of the deadliest terror attacks in Indian history. A convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) travelling along the Srinagar–Jammu National Highway was targeted in a suicide bombing, killing 40 personnel. The date has since been remembered as a “Black Day” in the country’s security narrative.The convoy consisted of 78 buses carrying nearly 2,500 CRPF personnel from Jammu to Srinagar when an explosives-laden vehicle rammed into one of the buses, causing massive casualties and destruction.The attack drew widespread international condemnation and led to an immediate tightening of security protocols across Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad claimed responsibility, stating that a suicide bomber carried out the assault, according to local media reports.In response, India initiated a series of counter-terror measures, most notably conducting airstrikes on alleged terror training camps across the border in Pakistan. The military action marked a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries.Beyond its immediate impact, the Pulwama attack reignited global debate over cross-border terrorism, militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, and the broader security dynamics between India and Pakistan.
MUMBAI: People in the city lost Rs 155 crore to digital arrest scams alone in 2025, a 33% surge compared to the previous year. The spike occurred despite a marginal dip in the number of registered cases, from 195 digital scams in 2024 to 191 in 2025. Investment scams, job frauds, and digital arrest scams collectively accounted for 28% of all cyber offenses in the city last year. Cybersecurity experts warn that access to AI tools has altered the criminal landscape and scams are likely to increase manifold.
“AI just turned cybercrime into something anyone can do. We are not talking about sophisticated crime syndicates anymore. Today, someone with a smartphone and access to plug-and-play AI models can run scams that used to require entire BPO-style operations. The barrier to entry has collapsed,” said Sundareshwar Krishnamurthy, partner & India cyber leader, PwC India. While law enforcement has intensified its crackdown, the battle remains uphill. Mumbai Police data indicates that the detection rate for investment, job, and digital arrest scams combined rose from 23% in 2024 to 29% in 2025. However, arrests are frequently limited to the “beneficiaries” operating mule accounts, while the masterminds continue to operate with impunity from overseas. “With AI-based calls, scam attempts are going to increase exponentially. We need specific legislation to address AI-driven crimes,” said cybersecurity expert Nikhil Mahadeshwar.Research conducted by PwC in 2023 in collaboration with Stop Scams UK highlights that AI tools can be utilised to sift through large volumes of data to identify potential victims and tailor fraudulent content to an individual’s specific vulnerabilities. For instance, AI tools can identify an individual’s employment details or family circumstances or where they have been on holiday recently to craft highly convincing personalised scam messages.The human cost of this technological shift is being felt most acutely by the elderly. Mahadeshwar pointed out that while govt awareness campaigns are ongoing, senior citizens remain uniquely vulnerable due to challenges in maintaining cyber hygiene. “Many struggle to comprehend what a malicious APK file is, or how to enable two-factor authentication, or verify if an email password has been compromised. This vulnerability is being exploited by scammers who are constantly evolving,” he said.In a recent case, fraudsters swindled a senior citizen of Rs 16 lakh by convincing him that he was the subject of an “NIA investigation into the Delhi blasts” and coercing him to download an encrypted communication platform which could conceal their digital trail.Despite a 5% dip in overall registration of cybercrime in Mumbai — from 5,087 cases in 2024 to 4,825 cases in 2025 — the financial impact is undeniable. Police data shows that Mumbaikars lost Rs 1,031 crore to all cybercrimes in 2025. DCP (cyber) Purushottam Karad has a simple piece of advice for the elderly: “There is no provision for digital arrest in Indian law. Don’t trust what a stranger online says.” To their families, he advises, “If a senior citizen behaves differently, talk to them and find out what is wrong.“
