NEW DELHI: Security agencies in the capital have heightened security following intelligence reports suggesting a possible terror plan aimed at crowded religious and heritage sites.According to inputs, the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba is reportedly planning IED attacks in major cities across India, including a temple in Chandni Chowk, as retaliation for an attack on a mosque in Islamabad on Feb 6.

The alert comes three months after a blast near the same temple in the vicinity of Red Fort led to 15 deaths. Deployment of forces has been increased to strengthen surveillance and prevent any untoward incidents. Security forces have stepped up patrolling in key areas where religious and historical sites are located.

Terror intel: Hawk eye on vehicles entering Delhi

Para-military forces have been deployed in large numbers to maintain continuous surveillance, particularly focusing on temple premises, to deter any potential threat.Vehicles entering Delhi are being thoroughly inspected, and parked vehicles — including those left unattended — are also being carefully checked. At the same time, security personnel are continuously monitoring real-time CCTV feeds across the city to detect any unusual movement or suspicious activity.Police are also holding regular coordination meetings with market welfare associations and resident welfare associations, along with shopkeepers, vendors, and other local stakeholders.In addition, comprehensive verification drives are currently under way at hotels, guesthouses, cyber cafes, shopping malls, cinemas, SIM card dealers, and chemical shops. Police are also conducting background checks on tenants, domestic helps, chowkidars, labourers, and private security guards to ensure that no suspicious individuals are operating in or around sensitive locations.

NEW DELHI: Against the backdrop of last year’s Operation Sindoor, India is eyeing Israel’s advanced drones, long-range missiles and laser-based defence systems in order to integrate them into its security infrastructure and create an “impregnable” multi-layered shield that can thwart any Pakistan attack through missiles, drones and airstrikes in future.While India’s DRDO has developed a 30-kW high-energy laser-based Directed Energy Weapon (DEW), known as Mk-II(A) system, Israel has started deploying ‘Iron Beam’, a 100kW-class high-energy laser weapon system, to complement its Iron Dome missile shield. Iron Beam can intercept drones, rockets and mortars at a cost of only a few dollars per shot.It is expected that these defence plans will be concretised during PM Modi’s two-day visit to Israel starting Wednesday. An MoU on security cooperation is expected to be signed during Modi’s visit, his second trip to Israel after 2017. Besides defence purchases, India is focussing on transfer of advanced weapon technologies.On Sunday, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said, “PM Modi will deliver a speech in the Knesset. The fabric of this relationship has grown tighter, and he is coming here so that we can tighten it further through a series of decisions related to strengthening cooperation between our govts and countries. This includes economic, diplomatic and security cooperation.” Hinting at the formation of a security alliance, Netanyahu said, “We will create an entire system, essentially a ‘hexagon’ of alliances around or within the Middle East. This includes India, Arab nations, African nations, Mediterranean nations (Greece and Cyprus) and nations in Asia.”India is developing an indigenous, multi-layered air defence system, ‘Sudarshan Chakra’, aimed at protecting cities and vital installations from missile and drone threats by 2035. The country is, therefore, collaborating with Israel to incorporate technologies similar to Iron Dome, Arrow and David’s Sling systems. The initiative will integrate Barak-8 MR-SAM/LR-SAM with AI, advanced sensors and cyber-defence systems.The new MoU will follow an MoU that was signed last Nov during defence secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh’s Israel visit when both sides decided to boost defence ties through joint development and co-production of advanced technologies.During Op Sindoor, India had used a host of Israeli weapons like Rampage missiles, Harpy (loitering munition called Kamikaze drone) and Harop kamikaze loitering munition against Pakistan’s terror targets and military assets.According to a Forbes India report, Israel has agreed to arms deals worth $8.6 billion with India in 2026, making it India’s biggest weapons supplier after France. The $8.6 billion deals include, according to the report, SPICE 1000 precision guidance bombs manufactured by Rafael, Rampage air-to-surface missiles (250 km range), Air Lora air-launched ballistic missiles and IceBreaker missile system (300km range).

The way Sri Lankan batters surrendered in front of the England bowlers on February 22 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Balagolla makes the Lankan legend Angelo Mathews perplexed. He took to his official ‘X’ account to express his disappointment right after the match.

On Sunday, Sri Lanka was up against England for their opening match of the Super 8 of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Sri Lanka, the co-host of the tournament, displayed top-notch cricket in the group stage and was the favorite to defeat England as well today.

Sri Lanka was the front runner to win the match

On Balagolla, England’s batting order collapsed in front of the home team’s bowling attack. Dunith Wellalage’s 3-wicket figure and Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka’s brace each restricted England to 146 runs in exchange for 9 wickets in 20 overs.

As multiple Sri Lankan batters were in top form, and the target was looking insufficient to be protected, many cricket experts and fans believed that the cricket team of the island nation would outclass England with ease.

Momentum shifted once England went to bowl

Once the second innings of the match kicked off, things started to shape in a completely different way, proving most of the predictions wrong. Pathum Nissanka, who smashed a ton against Australia and is among the leading run scorers in the tournament, was dismissed cheaply.

Kusal Mendis, Dunith Wellalage, Pavan Rathnayake, Kamindu Mendis, and the other stars of the Sri Lankan batting combination come and go, without putting any notable efforts to save the team.

Captain Dasun Shanaka tried hard to hold one end of the crease, but his 30-run knock was not enough against England’s 146. As soon as Shanaka went out, all of Sri Lanka’s hope to win the match vanished within seconds. The island nation folded for only 95, and England won by 51 runs.

Terrible: Angelo Mathews

Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews couldn’t believe what he witnessed. Mathews, who is now working as a commentator and a cricket expert in the tournament, described the moment as ‘terrible.’ He slams the batters for not performing sensibly.

“OMG! No words! Pathetic batting by Sri Lanka. After bowling so well, no batter wanted to bat sensibly and get Sri Lanka home! “Terrible,” the former cricketer expressed himself.

OMG! No words! Pathetic batting by srilanka. After bowling so well and no batter wanted to bat sensibly and get srilanka home ! Terrible

— Angelo Mathews (@Angelo69Mathews) February 22, 2026

England all-rounder Will Jacks was named as the player of the match for his contribution both with bat and ball. With the bat, he added an important 21 off 14, and with the ball, he dismissed Kusal Mendis, Rathnayake, and Wellalage to claim the game.

“We played badly. All the bowlers on our side bowled well; it’s not that they (England) bowled really well. “We played some rash shots in critical intervals,” Dasun Shanaka, the Sri Lanka captain, said after the match.

NEW DELHI: India A Women delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat Bangladesh by 46 runs in the final and win the ACC Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars title on Sunday. Batting first, India A posted a competitive total of 134/7 in 20 overs, thanks largely to a composed unbeaten half-century from Tejal Hasabnis and a valuable contribution from captain Radha Yadav.Openers Nandini Kashyap and Vrinda Dinesh provided a steady start but failed to convert it into big scores, while Anushka Sharma and Minnu Mani were dismissed cheaply, leaving India in a tricky position. Tejal Hasabnis then anchored the innings with a fluent 51 off 34 balls, striking three boundaries and two sixes. Radha Yadav supported her with a crucial 36 off 30 balls, helping India cross the 130-run mark. For Bangladesh, captain Fahima Khatun led the bowling effort with impressive figures of 4/25, while Farjana Easmin and Fatema Jahan Sonia chipped in with a wicket each.In reply, Bangladesh’s chase never gained momentum. Opener Ishma Tanjim was dismissed early, and although Shamima Sultana, Sarmin Sultana, Sadia Akter and Fahima Khatun tried to steady the innings with small partnerships, they struggled against India’s disciplined bowling attack. Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 88 in 19.1 overs.India’s bowlers shared the spoils, with Prema Rawat leading the attack with 3/12, while Sonia Mendhiya and Tanuja Kanwer claimed two wickets each. Saima Thakor, Minnu Mani and Radha Yadav also contributed with a wicket apiece.Tejal Hasabnis was named Player of the Match for her match-winning unbeaten half-century, capping off a dominant performance by India A Women in the tournament final.

NEW DELHI: In a multi-state counter-terror operation, the Delhi Police special cell busted a terror module comprising radicalised individuals affiliated with the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Eight suspects, seven of whom are Bangladeshi nationals with Indian Aadhaar cards, have been arrested.A major terror attack was averted with the arrests. A temple in Chandni Chowk was one of the targets with its images being found in the suspects’ devices. The car bomb blast reported last Nov had happened near this temple located near the Red Fort.The operation kicked off after a series of provocative posters were pasted at metro stations. The poster incident in Delhi was revealed to be a calculated act of psychological warfare and a test of the module’s mobility. On Feb 8, CISF had filed a complaint with the police that unknown individuals had affixed pro-Pakistan and pro-terror posters at the Janpath and other Metro stations, a major security breach before the AI summit.The posters eulogised slain terrorist Burhan Wani and had slogans like “India stop genocide & Free Kashmir”, while others contained Urdu slogans which, when translated, stated “Hum Pakistani Hain, Pakistan Hamara Hai” (We are Pakistani, Pakistan is ours) and celebrated “Kashmir Solidarity Day”. A case was registered and investigation was transferred to the Special Cell. A team comprising ACP Lalit Mohan Negi, inspectors Sunil Rajain and Dheeraj was formed to trace the digital and physical trail left by the perpetrators. The initial investigation was conducted by DCP Kushal Pal Singh’s team from the Metro Police.By conducting technical analysis of mobile data and transit patterns, the suspects were located in Kolkata. On Feb 15, the Special Cell identified a hideout in the Majherpara area of Hatiara Gote, Kolkata. In a swift raid, the first two suspects were apprehended: 31-year-old Umar Faruk, a resident of Aswintola in Malda, West Bengal, and 31-year-old Robiul Islam, a Bangladeshi national from the Thakur Gaon district.During interrogation, Faruk revealed a chilling timeline of radicalization and intent besides the location of his aides.On Feb 21, simultaneous raids were conducted in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu and six suspects were nabbed. The arrested individuals were identified as 32-year-old Mohammed Mizanur Rehman from Bogura district, 34-year-old Mohammed Sefayat Hossain from Jhalakathi district, 40-year-old Mohammed Zahidul Islam from Bogura, 40-year-old Mohammed Liton from Bogura, 27-year-old Mohammed Uzzal from Bogura, and 32-year-old Umar from Bogura. Police seized 10 mobile phones filled with radicalising content, 25 credit and debit cards, 5 POS machines , and original Bangladeshi passports and identity cards that the suspects had attempted to discard or hide.

The much-anticipated Super 8 clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup between India and South Africa got underway at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, February 22. With both sides considered strong contenders for the title, fans expected a tactical masterclass. However, moments after the toss, social media was flooded with criticism as Team India decided to bench vice-captain Axar Patel for the crucial encounter.

South Africa skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bat first in Ahmedabad. The Proteas made four changes to their XI from the previous group-stage match, bringing back key players including Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi and David Miller, all of whom had been rested earlier. The move underlined South Africa’s intent to field their strongest combination for the high-stakes Super 8 fixture.

India stick to unchanged XI

In contrast, India opted to go with the same playing XI that featured in their final group-stage game against the Netherlands. The decision meant that Axar, who serves as the team’s vice-captain, once again missed out.

The call raised eyebrows instantly. Axar has been one of India’s dependable all-rounders in white-ball cricket, offering balance with both bat and ball. Earlier in the tournament, he played a key role against Pakistan, picking up two crucial wickets and maintaining tight lines in the middle overs. His ability to contribute handy runs down the order further enhances his value in pressure matches.

At the toss, India captain Suryakumar Yadav clarified that Axar’s exclusion was purely a tactical decision. The skipper suggested that the team management believed the existing combination offered better balance against South Africa’s line-up. However, the explanation did little to calm the storm brewing online.

Fans lambast India for not picking Axar Patel in the game

As soon as the playing XI was announced, fans took to social media platforms to express their displeasure. Many supporters questioned how a vice-captain and proven match-winner could be sidelined in such a critical fixture. Some alleged poor planning and even hinted at internal politics within the setup.

Criticism was not limited to the captain alone. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also faced backlash, with fans debating the team’s strategic direction in the knockout stages of the tournament. The decision was labelled “illogical” and “hard to understand” by several cricket enthusiasts who felt Axar’s all-round abilities could have been crucial against a powerful South African batting unit.

With the tournament entering a decisive phase, every selection call is bound to be scrutinized. Whether India’s unchanged combination pays dividends or the absence of Axar proves costly remains to be seen. For now, though, the team management’s bold call has certainly ignited a debate among fans during one of the biggest clashes of the T20 World Cup 2026.
