Tensions flared at Jawaharlal Nehru University on Thursday after a student protest escalated into clashes with police, leading to the detention of 51 students and injuries on both sides, as reported by news agency PTI.The unrest began when the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) organised a “Long March” from the campus to the Ministry of Education, calling for the implementation of University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations, the proposed Rohith Act, and the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Santishree D Pandit. Delhi Police responded by setting up multiple barricades and locking the main gate, deploying heavy security to prevent students from marching out.According to police, the situation turned violent when protesters allegedly pelted sticks and shoes and physically assaulted officers. An FIR has been registered against the students. Police said around 25 personnel were injured, including ACP Ved Prakash, ACP Sanghamitra, SHO Atul Tyagi and SHO Ajai Yadav. Some officers were even “bitten” during the altercation, officials claimed.Among those detained were JNUSU president Aditi Mishra and former president Nitish Kumar. Police said the students were stopped as they attempted to proceed towards the Ministry without permission.The students, however, alleged excessive force. In a statement, JNUSU claimed that “more than 50 students” were detained and taken to “undisclosed locations”. The union further alleged that injured students were denied medical assistance. It also claimed that a portrait of B R Ambedkar was damaged during the police action. Videos circulating online appeared to show a photograph of Ambedkar being snatched amid the chaos.Following the detentions, JNUSU called for a “complete lockdown” of the campus and announced a second march from the JNU Main Gate to Vasant Kunj Police Station. “We call upon all the students of JNU to intensify the struggle,” the union said, urging students to gather in large numbers.The university administration condemned the protest, accusing JNUSU members of “vandalism and violence against campus property”. In a post on X, the university said the students were demanding UGC regulations that are currently under a Supreme Court stay, adding that the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar have no authority over those rules.

Churchill Brothers FC were initially crowned champions by the AIFF

New Delhi: Indian Super League (ISL) clubs have jointly rejected the proposal floated by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to include Churchill Brothers in the ongoing season. The clubs have argued that such a move, with the 2025-26 season underway, will be “inconsistent with merit-based participation and undermines competitive integrity.”“Given that this issue was previously deliberated upon and aligned in discussions with the AIFF, we are unclear on the basis for reopening the matter,” the clubs said in a letter to the national federation.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!“The ISL 2025–26 league structure is closed and final. It forms the basis of existing sporting, operational, financial and contractual commitments. No expansion or alteration is acceptable at this stage.”On Wednesday, AIFF had written to 12 ISL clubs – excluding FC Goa and Sporting Club Delhi – and sought their consent to include the Goan club into the campaign. FC Goa and SC Delhi had already agreed to inclusion of Churchill Brothers but had added a caveat that they would abide by the decision of the majority of the clubs.

“In any event, as the overwhelming majority of participating clubs do not consent to any expansion, and as the Federation retains regulatory authority over league composition, this matter ought to be treated as closed,” continued the latest communication from the clubs to AIFF.The letter from AIFF to the ISL clubs, signed by deputy secertary-general Satyanarayan M, referenced the messages from SC Delhi and FC Goa on February 13 – a day before the much-delayed and truncated season got underway.Churchill Brothers’ desperate plea to be included in the ISL had earlier been questioned by the 14 ISL clubs on February 11. A day later, the AIFF Executive Committee had also quashed the proposal.The issue stems from last season’s controversy in the I-League where Churchill were declared provisional winners of the 2024-25 season. However, Inter Kashi, who were docked points during the season, were successful in getting that decision overturned by going to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS). Consequently, Inter Kashi were promoted to the top division where they have already played two matches and drawn both.

At a time when composer-director Palaash Muchhal is in the headlines over his called-off wedding with cricketer Smriti Mandhana and an ongoing legal battle, actress Daisy Shah has spoken about her personal experience of knowing him — and her words are filled with warmth.In a recent interaction with Filmygyan, Daisy opened up about how she first met Palaash through his sister, singer Palak Muchhal. Palak had sung a track in Daisy’s debut film Jai Ho, and that connection gradually extended to the entire family.Recalling how their association began, Daisy said, “Palaash is very good as a person. In fact, I have met him a couple of times. Palak had done a song for Jai Ho, so I have known her since then, so I frequently go to parties at Palak‘s home for birthdays and Ganpati Pooja, and that’s how I met Palaash. That’s how I got to know that he is a music composer and a director.”

“They are very grounded,” says Daisy about his family

The actress also spoke fondly about the Muchhal family and the values they hold. Sharing her impression, she added, “I met his family, beautiful family, they are very grounded. They very much believe in God and I think that is the good part about them. Those who believe in God are positive people.”Also See: Daisy Shah says she’s happy single at 41: ‘I’ve frozen my eggs, I don’t need marriage to build a family’Her remarks come shortly after Palaash announced his new directorial venture starring Shreyas Talpade, marking his first professional announcement following the cancellation of his November 23, 2025 wedding to Smriti Mandhana. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court recently restrained actor-producer Vidnyan Mane from making defamatory remarks against Palaash, terming certain comments as “insinuating and defamatory”. Muchhal has also filed a suit seeking damages and a permanent injunction.Daisy Shah says she’s happy single at 41: ‘I’ve frozen my eggs, I don’t need marriage to build a family’

The world of cricket often finds itself embroiled in the ‘Greatest of All Time’ (GOAT) debate, usually centred around batting averages or bowling strikes. However, when it comes to the third department fielding, the conversation is equally fierce. While modern fans often point to Ravindra Jadeja’s bullet arm or Virat Kohli’s own athletic brilliance, the ‘King’ himself has officially weighed in, and his choice might surprise those caught up in the recency bias of the IPL era.

Virat Kohli picks his favourite fielder of all time

In a viral “This or That” challenge shared by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) social media handles, Kohli was tasked with narrowing down the greatest fielder to ever grace the game. The challenge featured a legendary bracket, starting with Indian icons Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh. Kohli initially leaned toward Yuvraj Singh, even keeping him ahead of the legendary Mohammad Kaif and the powerhouse Andrew Symonds.

However, the momentum shifted entirely when the name Jonty Rhodes entered the fray. Without a second’s hesitation, Kohli pivoted. Despite his deep respect for his teammate Jadeja, Kohli’s stance was definitive:

“Jaddu’s good, but Jonty Rhodes was a different level altogether,” he said

The veteran Proteas star, famous for his iconic “flying” run-out in the 1992 World Cup, remained unbeaten as Kohli moved through modern specialists like Glenn Phillips and AB de Villiers. When asked to choose between himself and Rhodes, Kohli laughed off the comparison, stating, “Jonty Rhodes. I’m not even part of that list!” It was a rare moment of humility from one of the world’s most athletic cricketers, cementing Rhodes as the undisputed gold standard in Kohli’s book.

Kohli’s unmatched IPL odyssey since 2008

While Kohli may defer to Rhodes on the field, his own legacy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is unparalleled, not just for his runs, but for his unprecedented loyalty. Since the league’s inception in 2008, Kohli has remained the only player in IPL history to play for a single franchise for 18 consecutive seasons.

Starting as a budding U-19 World Cup-winning captain in 2008, Kohli’s journey with RCB is a masterclass in evolution. He transformed from a middle-order prospect into a “Run Machine,” shattering records along the way. Most notably, in 2025, Kohli made history by becoming the first batter to cross the 9,000-run mark for a single franchise. His statistical dominance is highlighted by:

• 9,000+ runs: The highest by any player for one team.
• The 2016 peak: A record-shattering 973 runs in a single season.
• Consistency: The first player to score 600+ runs in five different IPL seasons (including 2024 and 2025).

As we head into the 2026 season, Kohli’s association with Bengaluru has transcended sport; it is a cultural phenomenon. Even as he approaches the twilight of his career, his commitment to the “Red and Gold” remains the benchmark for franchise loyalty in a league defined by constant auctions and shifting rosters.
