‘Big fan': Braves legend Chipper Jones lauds Coastal Carolina baseball coach
The Coastal Carolina University baseball team, and its current run toward the College World Series, has caught the eye of an Atlanta Braves legend. Chipper Jones, the switch-hitting third baseman who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018, praised the team and its coach Tuesday in a social media post that was critical of other teams vying for playoff spots. Advertisement 'Spent quite a bit of time watching college baseball this weekend,' Jones wrote on 'I will only watch a select few teams from here on out. Reason? They have coaches that respect the game and their opponents and demand the same of their players. Any team that doesn't wear the uni correctly, taunts the other team, and has a coach that condones this behavior, is a disgrace to the game. 'Big fan of coach Schnall at Coastal Carolina! Him and his team represent what college baseball should be like. Well done, sir! U stand for proper behavior.' Kevin Schnall, in his first year as CCU head coach, made headlines this week criticizing the actions of University of Florida baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan, who was caught on video berating staff at the NCAA Regionals in Conway this past weekend. Advertisement 'I have to say this, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or not, but I believe in standing up to for what's right, and what transpired this morning on our field, another coach disrespected our associate AD, who works as hard as anybody in our entire program, he disrespected our field crew, who are the salt of the earth, these guys would do anything for our program, it's not okay,' Schnall said. 'And this needs to be brought up. Absolutely disrespectful.' O'Sullivan has since issued a statement apologizing for his behavior. CCU advanced out of the region that included Florida, East Carolina University and Fairfield University. They will play Auburn University beginning Friday in a best-of-three series to determine which team advances to the College World Series.

Posed As Income Tax Officers, 3 Men Dupe Navi Mumbai Woman Of Rs 1.8 Crore
Thane: Police in Navi Mumbai have busted an interstate gang involved in digital arrest frauds, arresting three individuals who allegedly cheated people by posing as government officials and coercing them into transferring large sums of money, officials said on Thursday. The trio, identified as Ramesh Babulal Seth (45), Amish Deepak Tulsidas Shah (42) -- both residents of Mumbai -- and Ahmedabad native Rajkumar Gelaram Narang (55), was arrested by the Central Crime Unit (CCU) of the Navi Mumbai police, an official release said. While Seth and Shah were sent to jail by a local court, Narang is in police custody till May 30, it said. According to the release, the trio employed a sophisticated modus operandi, using "fake letter heads of the Income Tax department, CBI, ED, and the Supreme court." They would "pose as officials of these organisations and showed the fake letters from them to the victims and put them in digital arrest and extracted monies from them," according to police. Digital arrest is an online scam where fraudsters, impersonating law enforcement agencies, threaten people with arrest via video calls and coerce them into transferring money in bank accounts provided by them. The gang was identified while police were probing a high-profile cyber fraud reported between January and February 2025 when a female doctor was subjected to digital arrest and duped of nearly Rs 2 crore. "The fraudsters claimed they were from the Income Tax department, and told her she had evaded taxes and she had a company in Vazipur, New Delhi. They further told her an amount of Rs 8,62,30 was due from her and a complaint had been made in writing with the Delhi police," said the release. The scammers sent fake letters purported to be and on the letter heads of government agencies on her WhatsApp. Driven by fear, the victim transferred Rs 1,81,72,667, which comprised money kept in bank and those in other investments, into 6 bank accounts provided by the thugs, police said. After realizing she has been cheated, the doctor filed a police complaint. An FIR was subsequently filed with the Cyber Police Station on February 17 under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. To crack the case, three different police teams were formed and they carried out a search and arrested the trio, said the release. "The investigation revealed the arrested individuals, along with wanted accomplices, entered into a criminal conspiracy and formed an organised crime syndicate and formed bogus companies for cheating," it said. Explaining the modus operandi, the release said, "The accused took galas (shops) on rent and set up bogus companies and opened different bank accounts in their name. They obtained internet banking facilities and other items like debit cards and mobile SIM cards. The scammers made online calls, put victims under digital arrest and cheated them." Police said Rs 1,13,5,00 in cash, one laptop, 18 mobile phones, 18 cheque books, 32 debit cards, 33 cheques, 27 SIM cards, two bank passbooks, rubber stamps of 10 bogus companies, documents relating to opening of bank accounts of 10 firms were recovered from them. The arrested individuals have prior criminal records, they added.

Pune dowry death: Child welfare committee says maternal grandmother fit person to take care of Vaishnavi's child
Following the tragic death of Vaishnavi Hagawane, the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has named her mother, Swati Kaspate, as a 'fit person' to take care of and protect Vaishnavi's nine-month-old son, Janak Hagawane. The decision was taken on Friday, after a thorough assessment by the district child protection officer, who submitted a social investigation report to the CWC, said officials. On 16 May, Vaishnavi Hagawane allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Bhukum in Pune, following harassment from her in-laws over dowry demands. Her husband Shashank, father-in-law Rajendra, mother-in-law Lata, sister-in-law Karishma, and brother-in-law Sushil were later arrested by police. At the time of the arrest, the Hagawane family gave the child's custody to their family friend Nitin Chavan. However, Chavan allegedly threatened the parents of Viashnavi at gunpoint when they went to take custody of the child. He was arrested on Friday from the Nepal border. Aditi Tatkare, minister for women and child development in her X post, said, 'Following the demise of Vaishnavi Hagawane from Pune, the Child Welfare Committee has appointed her mother, Swati Kaspate, as the fit person to take care of her nine-month-old son, Janak Hagawane. Based on the social investigation report submitted by the district child protection officer, Swati is deemed the appropriate person, and her social, emotional, and family environment is conducive to the child's welfare. The complete responsibility for the child's education, health, and overall development will rest with Swati.' Jitendra Dudi, Pune district collector, said, 'The order was passed based on a social investigation report submitted by the district child protection officer after proper investigation and home visits.'' According to CWC member Prakash Khadilkar as per section 52(1) of the Juvenile Justice Act and sub-rule 13 of the Maharashtra Juvenile Justice Rules 2018, if the biological mother and father are not present then CWC can appoint a fit person to take care of the child or admit him/her to Child Care Unit (CCU). 'The child is just nine months old. So the temporary custody of the child was given to his grandmother subject to the pending enquiry,' said Khadilkar. According to Khadilkar, a fit person is announced for a period of four months. After four months, the child needs to be produced before CWC. If CWC is satisfied, then we can extend custody to four more months. If required, CWC can ask the district child protection officer to prepare an individual care plan for the child. As far as this case is concerned, in future, if the biological father of the child seeks custody of the child, in that case, the case will be transferred to the family court, said officials.

After Plunging 10.87% in 4 Weeks, Here's Why the Trend Might Reverse for Cervecerias Unidas (CCU)
Cervecerias Unidas (CCU) has been beaten down lately with too much selling pressure. While the stock has lost 10.9% over the past four weeks, there is light at the end of the tunnel as it is now in oversold territory and Wall Street analysts expect the company to report better earnings than they predicted earlier. We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30. Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock's price is reaching a point of reversal. So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefitting from the inevitable rebound. However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision. The heavy selling of CCU shares appears to be in the process of exhausting itself, as indicated by its RSI reading of 27.06. So, the trend for the stock could reverse soon for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand. The RSI value is not the only factor that indicates a potential turnaround for the stock in the near term. On the fundamental side, there has been strong agreement among the sell-side analysts covering the stock in raising earnings estimates for the current year. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for CCU has increased 12.9%. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term. Moreover, CCU currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential turnaround in the near term.
