Baroda Cricketer Shivalik Sharma Arrested For Rape Charges
26-year-old Indian cricketer Shivalik Sharma, who represents Baroda in domestic cricket, has been arrested on rape charges. According to a report in NDTV Rajasthan on Monday (May 5), the left-handed batter was taken into custody by Rajasthan Police. A complaint was filed at the Kudi Bhagatsani police station in Jodhpur, after which he was arrested. After the investigation, he was in court and was sent to judicial custody.
According to available information, a woman has filed a police complaint against Shivalik in which she accused him of engaging in physical relations with her under the false promise of marriage. The two reportedly met during a trip to Vadodara in February 2023 and developed a close relationship, maintaining regular contact over the phone. Eventually, their families met and agreed to an engagement, which was formalised in August 2023 when Shivalik's parents visited Jodhpur.

How A Kabaddi Match Sparked Spat Between Sidhu Moose Wala And Lawrence Bishnoi Gang
Last Updated: Brar claimed that match-fixing and gangster influence were common, and Moose Wala's presence at the rival-organised event was seen as betrayal A local kabaddi match in Punjab sparked the first serious spat between Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala and Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, revealed gangster Goldy Brar in the new BBC documentary ' The Killing Call '. Brar, who is currently wanted by Indian authorities, told the BBC that the 'first dispute" with Moose Wala began shortly after the singer returned to India. The trigger, he said, was a kabaddi tournament promoted by Moose Wala in a village linked to the rival Bambiha gang. 'That's a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That's when Lawrence and others were upset with him," Brar told the British outlet. 'They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn't spare him." Kabaddi, a high-contact sport deeply rooted in rural Punjab, has long had ties to local gang culture. Brar claimed that match-fixing and gangster influence were common, and Moose Wala's presence at the rival-organised event was seen as betrayal. Moose Wala was shot dead in 2022 in broad daylight. The tension escalated when Moose Wala chose to perform at the tournament, despite alleged warnings. An anonymous music associate in the documentary said a gangster named Mandeep Dhaliwal, affiliated with the Bambiha gang, had invited Moose Wala to the match. Though the matter was briefly settled through Vicky Middukhera, an associate of Bishnoi, things took a darker turn when Middukhera was shot dead in Mohali in 2021. The Bambiha gang claimed responsibility for the murder, and Moose Wala's close aide, Shaganpreet Singh, was named in the police charge sheet for allegedly helping the attackers. Singh later fled to Australia. Moose Wala denied any involvement and was never formally linked to the killing by police. 'We wanted him to face punishment for what he'd done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea," he added. Brar said that after losing faith in the legal system, they decided to take justice into their own hands. 'When decency falls on deaf ears, it's the gunshot that gets heard," he said. Asked how he justified vigilante justice, Brar responded: 'Law. Justice. There's no such thing. Only the powerful can… [obtain] justice, not ordinary people like us."

Indian Man Who Was Pinned Down At US Airport Had Entered Country Illegally
New Delhi: A man filmed being pinned to the floor and handcuffed by law enforcement officials in the United States has been identified as an Indian national who had illegally entered the country. According to sources, the individual, whose footage went viral on social media, is from Haryana and was in the process of being deported from Newark's Liberty International Airport. He had entered the United States without a valid visa. His deportation was being carried out by US officials under a court order. The man, whose name has not been disclosed, was in transit at Newark when his behaviour was deemed unfit for travel. He was restrained and subsequently admitted to a medical facility. Sources confirm that he will be deported once he is declared medically fit to travel. The Indian Consulate in New York is currently working with US authorities to address the case. On June 8, a video of the incident was posted by Kunal Jain, an Indo-American social entrepreneur, who tweeted: "I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night-handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy."

Indian Student Handcuffed at Newark Airport in US to Be Deported; India Protests, Seeks Explanation An Indian student from Haryana was handcuffed and pinned to the ground at Newark Airport, New Jersey, before being detained and ordered for deportation.
