ED searches home of senior Kolkata cop in ‘laundering scam’

KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday raided the residence of a Kolkata Police DCP (Special Branch), Shantanu Sinha Biswas and arrested city businessman Joy Kamdar in a moneylaundering probe linked to alleged illegal land deals and extortion . The ED action during the Bengal poll season came days after I-T searches at the home of TMC candidate Debashis Kumar and Miraj Shah, one of CM Mamata Banerjee’s nomination proposers in her Bhowanipore seat. “The house of the person who looks after my security has also been raided since this morning. Do you want to kill me? They are raiding us every day. We will file cases for every single incident,” Mamata said at a rally in Tarakeshwar on Sunday. Kamdar, managing director of several firms largely in real estate, was taken into custody after questioning at ED’s office. Searches were carried out at his Behala residence; ED claimed to have recovered Rs 1.2 crore cash. He had earlier skipped two ED summons. ED sleuths also searched DCP Biswas’s Ballygunge home. A former OC of Kalighat Police Station, he was not present. His counsel termed the raids “unanticipated”. The probe stems from alleged illegal land deals and extortion by a syndicate led by history-sheeter Biswajit Podder, aka Sona Pappu. ED said a Toyota Fortuner and a US-made revolver were seized during a recent search. ED sources said illicit funds were routed through shell and front companies to integrate them into legitimate channels.

Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants Playing 11 Prediction, Full Squad, Players List, Captain

IPL 2026, Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Playing 11, Full Squad, Players List: Lucknow Super Giants will look to bounce back from their loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the week when they face the undefeated Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on Sunday.

LSG will be sweating on the fitness of skipper Rishabh Pant who retired hurt in the last match after getting hit on the elbow. Although, bowling coach Bharat Arun revealed that Pant was fit and is expected to take to the field on Sunday. However, things can change between now and the toss with LSG fans hoping that their captain can take part in match.

Also, LSG might look to bring in Himmat Singh in place of a misfiring Abdul Samad in order to arrest their frequent batting collapses. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings are unlikely to tinker with the winning contribution and go with the same team.

PBKS vs LSG Predicted XIIs

Punjab Kings: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Himmat Singh, Mukul Choudhary, Mayank Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi

मोबाइल न मिलने पर युवक ने खुद को चाकू मारा:गोपालगंज में पिता ने पैसे देने से किया इनकार, पुराने फोन को भी तोड़ा


गोपालगंज में एक युवक ने नया मोबाइल फोन न मिलने पर खुद को चाकू मार लिया। जादोपुर थाना क्षेत्र के मसान थाना गांव में रवि कुमार (20) ने अपने पिता द्वारा नया स्मार्टफोन खरीदने के लिए पैसे देने से इनकार करने पर यह कदम उठाया। रवि कुमार, जो राघो पंडित का बेटा है, काफी समय से एक महंगा मोबाइल फोन खरीदने की जिद कर रहा था। रविवार को इसी बात को लेकर घर में पिता और पुत्र के बीच बहस हुई। पिता ने बताया कि अभी नया फोन दिलाने की स्थिति नहीं है। घर में रखे चाकू से पेट पर किए कई वार पिता के इनकार के बाद युवक गुस्से में आ गया। उसने पहले अपना पुराना मोबाइल फोन जमीन पर पटक कर तोड़ दिया। इसके बाद, उसने घर में रखे चाकू से अपने पेट पर कई वार कर लिए, जिससे वह गंभीर रूप से घायल हो गया। परिजन ने पहुंचाया मॉडल अस्पताल युवक के चीखने-चिल्लाने की आवाज सुनकर परिजन तुरंत मौके पर पहुँचे। उन्होंने रवि को लहूलुहान हालत में पाया और तत्काल उसे इलाज के लिए मॉडल अस्पताल के इमरजेंसी वार्ड में भर्ती कराया। डॉक्टरों के अनुसार, चाकू के वार गहरे थे और काफी खून बह चुका था, लेकिन समय पर इलाज मिलने के कारण उसकी स्थिति फिलहाल स्थिर बनी हुई है।

IPL 2026 [WATCH]: Musheer Khan amusingly mimics Shreyas Iyer on the plane to Mullanpur ahead of PBKS vs LSG encounter

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 continues its high-octane journey as the spotlight shifts to the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. On the evening of Sunday, the 29th Match features a clash of contrasting fortunes: the undefeated table-toppers, Punjab Kings (PBKS), hosting the struggling Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). While the stakes on the field are soaring, the atmosphere within the Punjab camp remains remarkably light and buoyant, reflecting the confidence of a team that has yet to taste defeat this season.

Musheer Khan’s hilarious mimicry of Shreyas Iyer steals the show en route to Mullanpur

Ahead of their critical encounter against LSG, a delightful video emerged from the Punjab Kings’ camp that has since taken social media by storm. The viral footage, captured during the team’s flight to Mullanpur, features the young and talented Musheer Khan in a rare, light-hearted avatar. In the clip, Musheer is seen perfectly channeling his inner comedian by mimicking the distinct mannerisms and voice of his captain, Shreyas Iyer.

The highlight of the performance came when Musheer, adopting Iyer’s signature tone and posture, jokingly asked his teammates, “Sab chup ho gaye kya?” (Has everyone gone silent?). The accuracy of the impression, from the slight tilt of the head to the specific cadence of Iyer’s speech, was so spot-on that it left the entire squad in splits. Veteran players and support staff alike were seen doubling over with laughter, showcasing the incredible team chemistry that has fuelled Punjab’s dominant run. This moment of levity serves as a testament to the ‘Sarpanch’ (Headman) culture Iyer has fostered, where even the youngest members feel comfortable sharing a laugh with the captain.

Here’s the video:

Iyer’s dream run with the bat in IPL 2026

While Musheer provided the entertainment off the field, Iyer has been providing the fireworks on it. Leading from the front, Iyer is currently enjoying what many experts are calling a dream season. Having transitioned to the Punjab Kings with a massive price tag, he has silenced critics by delivering staggering consistency and an aggressive intent that has redefined the PBKS top order.

In the five matches played so far in IPL 2026, Iyer has amassed 203 runs at an elite average of 67.66. More impressively, his strike rate has skyrocketed to 187.96, proving his evolution into a high-tempo T20 anchor. His season highlights include a blistering 69 off 33 balls against SRH and a steady 66 off 35 against Mumbai Indians.

Iyer’s IPL 2026 Stats at a Glance:

  • Matches: 5 | Innings: 4
  • Runs: 203 | Highest Score: 69*
  • Average: 67.66 | Strike Rate: 187.96
  • Boundaries: 14 Fours & 14 Sixes

Iyer’s ability to clear the ropes, hitting 14 sixes already, has been the backbone of Punjab’s unbeaten streak. As the Sarpanch leads his troop into Mullanpur tonight, the blend of light-hearted camaraderie and clinical on-field performance makes PBKS the team to beat in this edition of the IPL.

3 strong reasons Sanju Samson should replace Ruturaj Gaikwad as CSK captain

3 strong reasons Sanju Samson should replace Ruturaj Gaikwad as CSK captain

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s leadership qualities are under scrutiny as the 5-time IPL winners, one of the most successful teams in IPL, have yet to look promising under his captaincy. As of now, the team is struggling to maintain a much-required momentum. In the absence of MS Dhoni, the onus is completely on the shoulders of Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the team forward.

Ahead of the IPL 2026 season, it was believed that Gaikwad’s leadership skills would flourish more with Dhoni on the field. Because of a calf injury, the 44-year-old keeper-batter remains out of the ground and is yet to play his first match in the IPL 2026.

At this point, if the team management wants to think beyond Gaikwad, when the team is at the seventh position with only 2 wins in 6 matches, there is one person who can be trusted the most, Sanju Samson.

Three reasons why Sanju Samson should be the captain of the Chennai Super Kings:

Proven captaincy experience in the Indian Premier League:

Currently a CSK star, Sanju Samson is the former captain of the Rajasthan Royals for multiple seasons in the league. According to the stats, under his leadership, RR played the most matches. Samson captained the team in a total of 67 IPL games, in which the team won on 33 occasions and lost on 32 occasions, as well while one match had no result. The keeper-batter led from the front with 458 runs in the 2022 season, steering the team to their first final since 2008. Cricket legend Shane Warne is the second in the list, who guided the team in 55 games.

“In 2024, he (Sanju Samson) went past Shane Warne’s record of leading the Rajasthan Royals in the most number of matches and became the most successful skipper in terms of number of wins in 2025. Samson was also the only Royals captain to have led the team into two playoffs in IPL,” according to the official website of the franchise.

Quality performance under pressure situations:

Whether it is about the duty for Team India or for the IPL team, Sanju Samson delivered multiple times in pressure situations. In his first match as captain in 2021, he scored a brilliant 119 against the Punjab Kings, becoming the first player to score a century on IPL captaincy debut. The opener already registered a century for the Chennai Super Kings in the 2026 season, which also came amid a critical moment.

Impactful leadership skills:

Samson is well known for supporting the emerging cricketers. During his tenure with the Royals, emerging players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag (currently the Rajasthan Royals captain), and Dhruv Jurel got the room to blossom. In fact, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also witnessed the leadership of Sanju Samson.

There are multiple young stars in the CSK squad as well, like Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, Prashant Veer, Kartik Sharma, Urvil Patel, and Ramakrishna Ghosh. If Samson offers the leadership role, then the merging talents of the team could get a proven guide and mentor as well.
