Kohli, Bumrah retain top spots in ICC ODI rankings

by

India skipper Virat Kohli and his teammate Jasprit Bumrah maintained their top spot in the latest ICC ODI rankings for batsmen and bowlers respectively.

Kohli remained at the first place in the batsman’s chart with 884 points and is followed by his deputy Rohit Sharma, who has 842 ranking points.

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is placed fifth in the list carrying 802 points.

Coming to the bowling rankings, pacer Bumrah has 797 points to his name and leads the list.

The death-over specialist is followed by young Afghanistan sensation Rashid Khan, who has 788 points, while Indian chinaman Kuldeep Yadav is placed third with 700 points.

South Africa bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Imran Tahir have also advanced within the top-10 of the rankings after their side’s 3-0 home series triumph over Zimbabwe.

Pacer Rabada, who is also ranked second in Tests, has moved up three spots to take sixth position after grabbing five wickets in two matches, while formerly top-ranked leg-spinner Tahir’s player of the series effort of 10 wickets, which included a hat-trick in the second ODI, has seen him progress three places to seventh position.

Meanwhile in the team’s rankings, England topped the chart with 127 points, while India is placed second with 122 points.

New Zealand (112 points), South Africa (110) and Pakistan (101) grabbed the third, fourth and fifth spot respectively.

England will have to win the away series against Sri Lanka, starting October 10, to retain their number one ranking. Their failure to win the series will give India a sniff at the top spot when they will take on the West Indies in the five-ODI series from October 21.

However, if both England and India win all their matches in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and the West Indies, then they will gain a point each to finish on 128 and 123 points respectively, thus retaining a difference of five points.

Gangsters kill B’luru man asking for directions, mistaking him for a rival
Chetan’s half-burnt body was found on September 15 in a vacant plot. The police have now made six arrests in the case, and are on the lookout for eight more.

On September 14, Chetan – an accountant with a BPO in Bengaluru – went to drop his friend Vinay in KR Puram after a get together. While returning, he lost his way, and decided to ask a man for directions, near Devasandra. The man’s friends were sitting in front of his house, drinking. One of the friends was a gangster. In a shocking turn of events, the gangster and his associates murdered Chetan, and set his body ablaze at a vacant plot later that night.

The Bengaluru police have now arrested three men in connection with the case, after three others surrendered last week. And the Hoskote police say that Manja and his associates believed Chetan to be part of a rival gang, and stabbed him multiple times and murdered him.

“The gang took Chetan’s body to Yelachamanahalli and set it it ablaze before fleeing the spot. A villager found the half-burned body the next morning and informed police,” a police officer told The Times of India.

“That night, there was a Ganesha procession in JC Layout. Two groups, one led by Appu and another by Harish alias Pakka, clashed over a trivial issue of changing a song. Harish and his gang left the spot, but Appu and his friends lingered till late night. Meanwhile, Chethan came and asked for directions towards his home in Hebbal. One of the gangsters noticed Chetan was carrying a smartphone and asked him why he was asking for route instead of using the navigator on his phone. The gangsters suspected Harish could have sent him to harm them and murdered him,” the police added. After investigations, police concluded that 14 people were involved in the crime.

Deccan Chronicle reported the police arrested Sai Vardhan, Sunil Kumar, and Kiran; Vishal, Vishwas and Arbaz had surrendered in court last week. Eight others are still absconding.

Karnataka bye- polls will be held on November 3 : EC

by

The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that bye-elections in Shivamogga, Ballari and Mandya Lok Sabha constituencies in Karnataka will be held on November 3.

The bye-elections are being held after BJP MPs BS Yeddyurappa (Shivamogga), Sriramulu (Ballari) and JD(S) leader CS Putturaju (Mandya) vacated their positions after being elected as MLAs in the State Assembly elections earlier this year.

In addition, the ECI announced that elections for Ramanagara and Jamkhandi State Assembly constituencies will also be held on the same date.

The bye-polls for the State Assembly seats are being held since Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy is relinquishing his seat in Ramanagara after he won from two constituencies – Ramanagara and Channapatna. Meanwhile, Siddu Nyamagowda, the MLA in Jamkhandi, passed away on May 28, two weeks after the elections.

With a month left for the polls, the model code of conduct comes into effect immediately in these constituencies.

The last date for parties to name nominations is 16 October. The BJP is reportedly planning to field Yeddyurappa’s eldest son Raghavendra for the MP seat in Shivamogga.

The Congress meanwhile is considering nominating Anil Lad or Santosh Lad as candidates from Ballari. Santosh has previously been an MP.

However, with only few months left for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, lobbying for seats within the party is expected to be limited.

Varthur police arrested gang of thieves stealing high-end bikes.

by

Bangalore : According to the police, the accused would sell the vehicles to customers across several locations for prices as low as Rs. 30,000.
Varthur police on Sunday arrested a gang of three bike thieves accused of stealing expensive, high-end bikes. The police have recovered 16 bikes worth Rs 30 lakh from the gang.

The police arrested Azmath Khan alias Bullet Khan (24), Santosh Reddy (23) and Manjunath (25). All three are residents of Attibele in Bengaluru Rural and are college dropouts. They learnt to pick the locks of bikes from a mechanic. Expensive bikes like Royal Enfield and Duke are among the bikes they reportedly stole.

According to the police, the accused persons surveyed an area after identifying high-end bikes. They would break open its handle lock and push it for a distance before hotwiring it and speeding away from the area, as per Bangalore Mirror.

After stealing the bikes, the accused persons would sell the vehicles to customers across several locations, including Attibele near the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border, for prices as low as Rs. 30,000. The police believe that they had associates in Tamil Nadu who helped them in their operation and the trio built a steady line of customers through this business, as they were selling well-maintained bikes for low prices.

But the gang’s streak of luck ran out when a case emerged in Varthur Police station limits of a stolen Royal Enfield bike. Noticing a pattern in the cases, the police officials formed a special team to nab the gang of bike thieves.

The police first managed to apprehend Manjunath and following an interrogation, the police caught Azmath and Santosh, reported Deccan Herald.

The arrest also comes at a time police in KR Puram Police station urged owners of high-end bikes to install anti-theft devices and GPS trackers on their vehicles. The police are also tracking an inter-state gang which is stealing high-end bikes and have urged owners of bikes to comply with their requests.

Ex PMs, journalist appear in court on treason charges

by


A Pakistani court has withdrawn arrest warrants issued against a prominent journalist and ordered that travel restrictions on him be removed, as hearings in a treason case against him and two former prime ministers continue.

On Monday, a three-member bench of the Lahore High Court adjourned proceedings in the case against former Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as well as journalist Cyril Almeida.

Sharif is accused of committing “treason” for implying that Pakistan’s military and intelligence services allowed attackers involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed more than 160 people, to operate with impunity.

“Militant organisations are active. Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me. Why can’t we complete the trial?” Sharif said in the interview with Almeida published in Dawn newspaper in May.

Sharif was dismissed as prime minister on corruption charges last year, and subsequently jailed after being convicted by an anti-corruption court. Last month, Sharif, his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Muhammad Safdar were released on bail in that case as their appeals continue to be heard.

Almeida was named in the petition as having allegedly abetted Sharif. Former PM Abbasi, who succeeded Sharif, is accused of having leaked national security secrets to Sharif.

‘A worrying precedent’
Last month, the court ordered Sharif to appear before it for the hearing, issued arrest warrants for Almeida and placed international travel restrictions on him.

On Monday, the court appeared to take a more lenient view, as Almeida appeared before the bench personally.

“The [restrictions] were only to ensure that he was present,” judge Mazhar Ali Akbar Naqvi told a packed courtroom, where Abbasi and Sharif were also present.

A look at Nawaz Sharif’s political career
The court ordered the government to provide a formal reply on whether or not it was prepared to move ahead with placing treason charges against the former prime ministers.

Under Pakistani law, the court cannot indict the three accused on treason charges unless the federal government has filed those charges.

“You are not being fair,” said judge Masood Jehangir, accusing the government of dawdling over framing a course of action. It ordered the attorney general to appear at the next hearing to be held on October 22.

The hearing on Monday failed to adjudicate on the maintainability of the petition.

Rights groups have criticised the court for holding hearings in the case, and particularly for summoning Almeida.

After the last hearing, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said the case was setting a worrying precedent for press freedom in the country.

“The ease with which Mr Almeida’s interview with the former Prime Minister was perceived as an attempt to allegedly defame state institutions, and the pace at which this has spiraled into charges of treason, only serve to further choke press freedom in Pakistan,” HRCP said in a statement.

On Monday, former PM Abbasi said the case against the three accused was baseless.

“There is no case,” he told media in the courtroom, minutes before the hearing got underway. “This is an entirely frivolous petition.”

K’taka Min DK Shivakumar booked by police for not removing illegal ad banner

by


Bengaluru police have booked Karnataka Water Resources Minister DKShivakumar for allegedly not taking down an advertisement banner,despite being issued a formal ban. Byatarayanapura Police Station has
registered a case against the minister and Congress’troubleshooter-in-chief based on a complaint by Muthuraj, an assistant revenue officer of RR Nagar Zone of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara
Palike (BBMP), according to the complaint.

The FIR has been filed under Section 3 (Penalty for unauthorised disfigurement by advertisement) and 5 (punishment for abettors) of Karnataka Open Place Disfigurement Act 1951 and 1981, under Sections
233 and 285 (prohibition against obstruction to streets) of Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act 1976 as well as Section 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code.

The FIR mentioned although Shivakumar was served notices on August 13, 15, 30 and September 1, he did not act on them and the police complaint was filed.

The banner in question was installed by the minister on land in Pantapalya off Mysore Road and according to the complaint, the minister refused to act or answer notices by the BBMP.

Although there was a ban on the use of flex banners in the city as part of the plastic ban, the use was rampant until the Karnataka High Court forced the BBMP to act while hearing a Public Interest
Litigation in August. The court had taken strong exception to the initial lackadaisical approach by the BBMP over the issue and even held the chief secretary responsible for its inaction. Following this,
the BBMP has been proactive in removing both flexes and billboards in the city.

After criticism by the HC, the BBMP finally passed its long-awaited ‘Outdoor Signage and Public Messaging’ bylaws that’s been in the works since 2015, and put an official ban on all forms of outdoor
advertisements in the city for a year.

Shivakumar, who visited in Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple in Ujjain,Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, could not be reached for a comment.

This FIR comes in the wake of four separate cases filed by the Income,Tax Department against Shivakumar and one case by the Enforcement Directorate. All the five cases are in connection with raids conducted
by the central agencies against the veteran politician in various locations in the country since August 2017. Shivakumar was first raided in August 2017 at the Eagleton resort in Bidadi near Bengaluru,

International team to examine Pakistan’s efforts against terror financing

by

A team of international experts has arrived in Pakistan to examine the country’s efforts to block terror financing through money laundering and illegal remittances, a media report said on Monday.

The team of the Asia Pacific Group (APG), an arm of the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF), arrived here on Sunday night to begin a 12-day “on-site inspection” of the country, Dawn news said in its report.

The team will review systems, networks and mechanisms of various institutions and agencies to ascertain if Pakistan was following through on its global commitment to get out of the FATF grey list.

The on-site inspection will verify actions taken and progress made by Islamabad.

The APG delegation comprises experts from Britain’s Scotland Yard, US Department of Treasury, Financial Intelligence Unit of Maldives, Indonesian Ministry of Finance, Peoples’ Bank of China, and the Justice Department of Turkey.

The FATF decided in February to place Pakistan on its grey list in June on a campaign pushed through by the US and its European allies for allegedly not doing enough to ban UN- and Washington-designated religious organisations and rein in their activities.

The ministries of interior, finance, foreign affairs and law besides the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), National Counter-Terrorism Authority (Nacta), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU), Central Directorate of National Savings and provincial counter-terrorism departments would remain available for briefings and explanations.

Last week, the government announced that it had finalised amendments to relevant laws that would be presented to the Prime Minister and his cabinet for approval, Dawn reported.

The former government negotiated a 10-point action plan to meet about 40 standards of the FATF by September 2019 to get out of the grey list.
