"Cannot Be Silent": BCCI's Stern Signal After RCB Official Is Arrested Over Stampede At IPL Title Celebration
What was supposed to be a glorious moment for Royal Challengers Bengaluru has turned into its darkest after what happened a day after the side's first-ever IPL title win. After ending an 18-year drought, RCB received a hero's welcome in Bengaluru but the fanfare turned disastrous as 11 people lost their lives while close to 50 were injured. Four people have been arrested in connection with the stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. According to the police, Nikhil Sosale, a top marketing official of the RCB, was among those arrested. He was on his way to Mumbai when he was arrested from Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, at around 6.30am. BCCI is now thinking to introduce guidelines for victory celebrations. "At some stage BCCI will have to do something. We cannot be a silent spectator," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told Cricbuzz. "It was a private affair of RCB but we at the BCCI are responsible for cricket in India and we will try to ensure such incidents do not recur in future." Earlier, Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir said that road shows should not be held at all after such victories. "I think the lives of people are far more important and I will continue to say. We can be a little bit careful of not holding these kinds of roadshows and can probably have them closed doors or something like this in a stadium," India coach Gautam Gambhir said. "When I used to play, I didn't believe much in roadshows. I don't believe in them today and I don't believe in them in the future. Winning is important, celebrations are important, but more important than that is the life of any person. So if we are not prepared, or if we cannot handle the crowd in that way, then might as well these roadshows should not take place." India's star batter Smriti Mandhana expressed her grief at the death of 11 people in a stampede on Wednesday near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Mandhana posted on her Instagram account, "Heartbroken to hear about the lives lost in Bengaluru. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones. Please stay safe, everyone."

‘I Love Being Proven Right': Musk's Transgender Daughter Reacts To His Public Feud With Trump
Last Updated: Wilson, who has been a vocal critic of her father, had previously vowed to leave the US if Trump was elected as the president. Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's 21-year-old estranged daughter, is seemingly enjoying the public feud between her father and US President Donald Trump. She posted a video on Instagram Stories, laughing and captioning it 'I love being proven right," without directly mentioning the two. When asked for a comment, she said, 'I do not want to comment" before bursting into laughter. She also shared a cryptic message on Threads, writing 'Such beauty in life" with a song playing in the background. Wilson, who has been a vocal critic of her father, did not miss the chance to get involved in the matter, having previously vowed to leave the US if Trump were elected as the president. Both Musk and Trump have been jostling with each other after the former criticised the US president's 'Big, Beautiful Bill", claiming it would increase the already bloated federal deficit. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," the Tesla CEO wrote on X (formerly Twitter). advetisement The tables turned when Donald Trump revealed he'd been anticipating Elon Musk's attack. Musk, however, took a surprising turn by dropping a bombshell: Trump is allegedly mentioned in the FBI's Jeffrey Epstein files, which Musk claims is the real reason they haven't been made public. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" wrote Musk. 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out," he added. Wilson and Musk have been estranged for a long time. Musk has publicly expressed his disapproval of Wilson's transition, attributing it to what he calls the 'woke mind virus". top videos View All 'I was tricked into doing this. I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason.

Stolen: The rare Hindi movie that isn't afraid to insult its own audience, and you know what, we deserve it
In an industry dominated by vanity projects, nepo nonsense, and state-sponsored propaganda, nothing is more annoying than a film that aims to impart a 'message' to the audience. As with everything else in Hindi cinema, this message is typically delivered at such a volume that Sonu Nigam might take offence. Laxman Utekar's Mimi concludes not with climactic catharsis, but with a chunk of statistics about adoption. How cinematic. The horror film Chhori, on the other hand, ends with data points about female infanticide. Neither film had enough faith in the audience to know, without being told, that killing babies (or abandoning them) is wrong. It was quite refreshing to discover that the new Amazon Prime Video film Stolen, despite being a 'message' movie itself, chooses to let the plot and characters do the talking instead of literal text. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen's true agenda — and there is an agenda, make no mistake — reveals itself only at the end. This revelation is smartly timed to coincide with the redemption of a truly terrible character, played by Abhishek Banerjee. His name is Gautam, and we first meet him as he's waiting outside a small-ish railway station for his younger brother, Raman. It's nighttime, and there's a wedding in the family the next day. They're already late because Raman missed his flight and had to take a train instead. At the station, he witnesses a tribal woman's infant being kidnapped, and moments later, finds himself ensnared in the mess. Gautam's instinct is to mind his own business and get on with his life, but something — it could be guilt, it could be trauma, or it could just be basic decency — compels Raman to get involved. Also read – Amar Singh Chamkila: Imtiaz Ali set out to make a movie about the slain singer, but he made a movie about himself instead Had the brothers not been there, the police would've probably pinned the entire thing on the poor woman, Jhumpa. Raman knows this, and he understands that if there was ever a time to weaponise his upper-caste privilege, it's this. He pushes the police to investigate, while a dumbstruck Gautam — he's the kind of person who probably owns a 'theka' in Gurugram as a side hustle — reminds him that they have somewhere to be. In India, a person could be dying on the side of the street and no one would step forward to help. Jhumpa represents Indians on the fringes of society, the sort of people whose plight is rarely covered on the news. They say that the media is biased, and that the mistreatment of minorities often goes unreported. But have they wondered how to present this news to someone who'd rather watch Bigg Boss instead? For about an hour, Stolen is an accurate representation of why most Indians avoid sticking their nose in other people's troubles. Many of them are selfish; some, proudly so. A regular day is filled with so many unnecessary stresses that the mere idea of inviting further inconvenience is repulsive. Our empathy is systematically obliterated over the course of our lives. We're hypocritical people who brag about respecting women, but we never miss a chance to blame them for their misfortune. We're proud to belong to the land of atithi devo bhava, but we ignore the harassment of foreign tourists. How many of us would jump in to save one of them from being scammed by an auto guy? How many of us would warn them to not attend Holi parties? Raman probably would, which is why he insists on accompanying the woman and making sure that the cops find her baby. Sometimes, he tells his obnoxious brother, it's important to stand up for what is right. One thing leads to another, and the brothers are thrown headfirst into the plot of NH10 — the Anushka Sharma movie from a decade ago that addressed many of the same themes. Stolen could've very easily had a scene in which someone, probably one of the cops, explains to Gautam and Raman why people like Jhumpa are destined to be downtrodden. Director Karan Tejpal could've altered his script to include a line like 'mhari chhoriya chhoro se kam hai ke' and probably have been rewarded with a star of Aamir Khan's stature signing on. But Stolen, first and foremost, is a genre film. The 'message' it wants to deliver is incidental to the plot. It's one thing to weave the social fabric of a country into a film's narrative, but it's a different thing altogether to weave a narrative around a moral lesson. Far too often, our movies fail to understand this distinction. Dunki doesn't bother to investigate the hopelessness that's compelling Punjab's youth to take the most dangerous route out of India. 12th Fail isn't interested in exposing an education system that leaves millions with no choice but to devote the prime of their lives to a pipe dream. Every aspiring actor looks up to Shah Rukh Khan; nobody talks about the millions that return to their small towns with shattered dreams.

Or will they perpetually have to be on the run, glancing over their shoulder? It is a travesty that Stolen isn't told from her perspective. Mia Maelzer is terrific in the role. In fact, the movie unfolds from the point-of-view of the least interesting character, and, as good as Banerjee is as Gautam, he'd be the first to admit that he's sort of miscast. It's sort of like a Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Afwaah situation. Like that Sudhir Mishra film, Stolen's ultimate aim is to invite introspection. It is up to us to decide what is worse; that Gautam is an embodiment of the Savarna saviour trope, or if he is meant to be a surrogate for us. There's a reason why Hindi cinema is becoming increasingly two-dimensional. To provoke thought, our films (and filmmakers) will first have to reconcile with the idea of being criticised. Forget indicting the audience, Hindi movies will champion unspeakable immorality — they will mistreat minorities, spite the silenced, incite the incels — only to please us. How can they be expected to raise a mirror to society? It would be like a politician pointing fingers at their vote bank. Stolen, however, has no qualms in questioning the sort of pepole who turn a blind eye to the exploitation around them. If you're going to annoy someone, it might as well be the apathetic, the fence-sitters, the social climbers.
