Buchi Babu Trophy 2025: Mazumdar, Sumanta drag Bengal close to Haryana on second day
In this year's Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament, teams have only 90 overs to bat in their first innings — a format that blends the characteristics of First Class and List A. Under those constraints, even Anustup Mazumdar's authoritative century and Sumanta Gupta's fighting 98 could not prevent Bengal from conceding a 34-run lead to Haryana on Tuesday at the AM Jain College in Chennai. Mazumdar compiled a near-flawless 126 off 167 balls, holding the innings together after early trouble. He rebuilt with a 70-run stand alongside Sudip Gharami (45 off 73 balls), who was trapped leg-before by Sumit Kumar just before lunch, and then added 102 with Abishek Porel. The wicketkeeper-batter showcased some crisp cuts off spinners before falling on 39, edging pacer Ajay Singh while chasing a wide delivery. Mazumdar brought up his century off 134 balls but fell while trying to accelerate, miscuing a pull off spinner Aman Kumar to fine leg. With Bengal still 120 runs adrift of Haryana's 415, Sumanta took charge. He pierced through the gaps around the ground, went over the infield at times, and kept the scoreboard moving in a proactive knock that included seven fours. However, he fell short of his hundred by two runs while attempting a sharp double. Bengal eventually folded for 381, falling just short of parity. Led by Sumit Kumar's five for 32, Haryana bowlers will be satisfied with their disciplined effort in hot and humid conditions. They maintained tight lines, denied easy boundaries, and were backed by sharp ground fielding that ultimately made the difference between the two sides.

JU min assault: KP on way to Del for scholar's custody
Kolkata: The Kolkata Police on Thursday received transit remand from a Delhi local court to bring former Jadavpur University student Hindol Mazumdar to Kolkata. A cop team is likely to reach the city with the research scholar by Friday morning, after which, he will be produced in a local court in Kolkata where cops will seek his police remand. Mazumdar was detained by Delhi Police at the IGI airport around 10.30 am on Wednesday, upon his arrival from Spain, for allegedly being involved in the harassment of education minister Bratya Basu at JU in March. Lalbazar said he was one of the chief conspirators behind the JU protest. "He directed others to the probable places of protest and took care of logistics," said an officer.

"Their WhatsApp chats revealed Mazumdar's involvement. Mazumdar, from Spain, instructed attackers from Jadavpur to surround Basu, attack him, and target his car. He was primarily arrested on charges of inciting the attack," an officer said. The cops purportedly shared his WhatsApp messages where he made multiple comments, one of which read, "No organisation other than ours will remain in Jadavpur. " Mazumdar is conducting research in Spain, pursuing a PhD in biomedicine and clinical science at the University of Granada under the EU Marie Sklodowska Curie Action Fellowship. He is a long-time associate of the "people's movement" and one of the founding members of the Democratic Youth Students' Association (DYSA). He got a notice on March 16, prompting him to mail the police, saying, "Since Nov 2023, I have been living in Spain, and working towards my doctoral thesis. On March 1, 2025, I was in Spain and, therefore, the question of my presence in Jadavpur on the material day does not and cannot arise at all." "I learned about Majumdar's arrest from the media, I have no separate statement on the matter," said Basu. Both of Mazumdar's parents are retired JU professors. His mother Saswati said, "This is harassment. We will fight the case legally." JUTA general secretary Partha Pratim Ray said, "The arrest shows the revengeful attitude of police, who are trying to damage the career of a student. We want Mazumdar's unconditional release." Jadavpur University Alumni Organisation stated, "This arrest is a well-planned effort by the state to suppress dissenting voices." Students from across political organisations, like SFI and AISA, also condemned the "wrongful arrest. " DYSA said the arrest is based on a "completely fictional narrative woven by the police forces".

Missing after viral IndiGo slap incident. Assam man found at railway station: What happened to him? How was he tracked?
A man from Assam, who was slapped by a passenger on an IndiGo flight earlier this week, has been found after he had gone missing following the viral incident . Hossain Ahmed Mazumdar, 32, had reportedly suffered a panic attack on board an Indigo flight on Thursday. He was slapped by a fellow passenger, a video of which had recently gone viral. Mazumdar, who hails from Assam, had boarded a flight from Mumbai to Kolkata on Thursday. He travelled on Flight 6E-2387 when he experienced a panic episode. The next day, he was supposed to take another flight from Kolkata to Silchar. Mazumdar has been reported missing following the in-flight incident. Mazumdar was reportedly found at a railway station in the Barpeta district of Assam, nearly 800 km from Kolkata, where the plane had landed, and 400 km from Silchar, which was supposed to be his destination, NDTV reported. According to an Indian Express report, Mazumdar had taken a train from Kolkata to Assam, instead of his scheduled second flight that was to land at Silchar. 'The individual arrived at Barpeta in Assam after the flight landed in Kolkata. He took the train to Barpeta and is now on his way to Silchar," a police station officer in-charge was quoted by the Indian Express as saying. Mazumdar was reportedly travelling to meet his ailing father. His original plan was to take the Mumbai-Kolkata flight, which he did; and then take a connecting flight to Silchar, which he did not. Instead, he took a train for the second leg of his journey (after the IndiGo slap incident). His family had gone to the airport in Silchar on Friday to pick him up, but he was nowhere to be found. When the video of his panic attack went viral, the family panicked and called his phone. He did not answer repeated calls, worsening their fears. By Saturday night, he was located to Barpeta. It was not immediately clear why he did not take calls. A video showing a passenger slapping another flyer, Hossain Ahmed Mazumdar, on board an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Kolkata went viral on social media earlier this week. The incident took place on flight 6E138 after landing in Kolkata. The video captured a seated passenger suddenly slapping Mazumdar who was standing in the aisle and surrounded by crew members at the time. A crew member immediately intervened and can be heard saying, 'Sir, mat kijiye. Don't do that.' Meanwhile, the person recording the video questioned the attacker, asking, 'Mara kyun?' (Why did you hit him?). He then added, 'Problem sabko hai, lekin haath nahi uthana chahiye tha' (Everyone has problems, but you still shouldn't hit someone). The attacker, identified as Hafijul Rahaman, was detained by security personnel upon arrival in Kolkata and handed over to police. He was later released. Responding to the incident, IndiGo stated that such "unruly behaviour is completely unacceptable." The airlines barred the man who had slapped Mazumdar, and said, "Following due diligence, the incident involving an unruly customer has been formally reported to the relevant authorities for necessary action." "In line with our commitment to discourage such unruly behaviour on board flights, the individual has been suspended from flying on any IndiGo flights, in accordance with regulatory provisions," the airline said.

On Saturday, he was located at a railway station in Barpeta, about 400 kilometres from his hometown Katigorah. The officer in charge of the Katigorah police station confirmed, 'The individual arrived at Barpeta in Assam after the flight landed in Kolkata. He took the train to Barpeta and is now on his way to Silchar.'The incident first drew attention when a video surfaced online, showing Mazumdar visibly distressed on board IndiGo flight 6E-2387. The footage shows him being escorted to his seat by crew members when a fellow passenger, Hafijul Rahman, suddenly slapped him. One of the crew members can be heard trying to calm the situation, while another passenger intervenes and objects to the later told authorities he acted because 'he was causing problems'. He was handed over to the police after landing in Kolkata but was released shortly family were already at Silchar airport on Friday morning, expecting to receive him. But he never arrived. It was only later that they recognised him in the viral video.'He spoke to his wife and parents before taking the flight from Mumbai on Friday morning,' his uncle Joglu Mazumder told The Indian Express. 'His wife, brother and aunt went to the Silchar airport to pick him up, and saw, in the meantime, the viral video. They asked the airport authorities where he was, but they didn't know. Since then, they had been trying to call him. His phone was ringing, but he was not answering. So we have informed the Katigorah police station.'The airline issued a statement on social media but has remained silent on Mazumdar's condition following the mid-air said on X, 'We are aware of an incident involving a physical altercation on board one of our flights. Such unruly behaviour is completely unacceptable and we strongly condemn any actions that compromise the safety and dignity of our passengers and crew. Our crew acted in accordance with established Standard Operating Procedures. The individual involved was identified as unruly and handed over to the security authorities upon arrival. All appropriate regulatory agencies have been duly informed, in line with protocol.'The airline did not clarify whether Mazumdar received any support, protection or medical attention after the father, Abdul Mannan Mazumdar, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, was left deeply distressed. 'He was working hard in Mumbai to support us and was returning home. I saw the video this morning and now I don't know where my son is,' he told reporters on who has previously travelled the same route, worked in Mumbai at a gym and a hotel. He was flying home to Katigorah in Assam's Cachar district to visit his ailing father. His initial flight from Mumbai to Kolkata was completed, but he never boarded the onward flight to officials in Cachar confirmed both Mazumdar and his assaulter were allowed to leave Kolkata airport after a CISF-mediated meeting. Senior Superintendent of Police Numal Mahatta told The Indian Express they were in touch with Kolkata police and confirmed the details. 'He was supposed to board a Kolkata-Silchar flight the next morning, but he missed it,' a police source said, adding that Mazumdar did not take any other flight that family had also contacted the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and filed a missing person complaint at Udharbond police station near Silchar airport. Still, there was no concrete information from the airline or authorities until Saturday incident has prompted wider questions on passenger safety, especially how airlines respond to mental health episodes onboard. Should crew members be trained to identify and respond to such situations better? What steps should airlines take once a visibly distressed passenger is handed over?Zubairul Islam Mazumdar, another relative, voiced the family's frustration: 'When we didn't find him on the Silchar flight, we contacted the local authorities and even went to Udharband police station near the Silchar airport. But we received no concrete information about his whereabouts.'For now, the immediate crisis appears to be over. Mazumdar has been located and is returning home. But the lack of coordination, the silence on his care, and the manner in which the incident unfolded mid-air raise difficult, lingering questions.
