According to police, the incident took place around 8 a.m. when Sharma poured petrol on himself and set himself ablaze approximately 10 metres from the police station. Station staff quickly intervened, covering him with blankets and rushing him to the hospital for immediate medical care. A resident of Radhika Vihar Colony, Sharma had reportedly borrowed Rs 1.5 crore from a business partner, identified as Kailash Maheshwari, and invested the funds in various projects. SHO (Transport Nagar) Arun Kumar said that Maheshwari had been demanding his dues for the past three months, which Sharma allegedly failed to repay. Police added that Sharma had filed a formal complaint at the station alleging that Maheshwari was pressuring him over the pending payments. Sharma's family, on the other hand, alleged that Maheshwari had deceived him by taking a share in a piece of land Rajesh had purchased. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nuova CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID CUPRA Configura Auto Undo On June 28, Maheshwari allegedly went to Sharma's house.

Who is Alex Formenton? Ex-Ottawa Senators winger at the center of Hockey Canada sexual assault trial
Alex Formenton, once a promising NHL player, faces trial for alleged involvement in the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault case (Getty Images) Once viewed as one of the Ottawa Senators' most promising young forwards, Alex Formenton has found himself at the center of one of Canadian hockey's most disturbing scandals. Now 25, the former NHL player is currently standing trial for his alleged role in the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault case, a saga that has shaken the foundations of the sport across the country. Alex Formenton 's rise through the ranks and unexpected career halt Born in King, Ontario, Alex Formenton was drafted 47th overall by the Ottawa Senators in 2017. Known for his speed and versatility on the left wing, he earned early praise for his potential and work ethic. He played parts of three seasons with the Senators and was considered a valuable penalty killer and depth scorer, notching 18 goals in the 2021–22 season. — AmazingZoltan (@AmazingZoltan) However, his promising career came to a screeching halt when contract negotiations with Ottawa stalled amid rising speculation about his involvement in the alleged 2018 group sexual assault involving members of Canada's World Junior team. As a restricted free agent, Formenton was left unsigned and later moved overseas to play for HC Ambrì-Piotta in Switzerland. In 2025, he stepped away from professional hockey entirely and began working in construction in his hometown. Legal charges tied to 2018 Team Canada incident The turning point came on January 28, 2024, when Formenton turned himself in to London police. He was officially charged with one count of sexual assault related to an incident that allegedly took place in June 2018, shortly after Team Canada's World Junior Championship victory. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nuova CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID CUPRA Configura Auto Undo 'Formenton had 'moved on from a hockey career,'' read court documents filed in August 2024.

In a twist that further complicates his public image, Formenton is also seeking $20 million in damages from his former agency. He alleges that he was misadvised during contract negotiations, which ultimately left him vulnerable when his hockey career unraveled due to the criminal investigation. Also Read: Who is Carter Hart?

Maharashtra school education department pushes FYJC admission list to June 30, blames ‘technical snags'
Mumbai: The school education department failed to declare the first-year junior college admissions list on Thursday, as it was entangled in what it called "technical snags". The uncertainty will now drag on till June 30, yet another fresh date given by the education department to release the first list. Across Maharashtra, 12.7 lakh students and parents waited through the evening, refreshing screens and hoping the seat allotment information would finally blink into existence. "I've been hitting refresh on the FYJC admission portal like a ritual all evening. Each time, hoping the list will appear. There's already enough stress — of cut-offs and competition. And now, this wait only makes the anxiety louder," said Charmi Jhaveri, an FYJC aspirant who scored 92% in her class 10 examinations. Around 10pm, the new FYJC admission schedule was finally declared (see box).

But the cut-off scores of colleges were not getting displayed. We are working hard to fix this issue. If resolved, we will declare the list or we will finally declare it on Monday." SSC exams were held early this year, and the results came sooner than expected — on May 13. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nuova CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID CUPRA Configura Auto Undo But for lakhs of Class 10 students in Maharashtra, that head start dissolved into a slow wait with govt first trying new centralised admission systems and then wanting to impose new reservations in minority institutes. Last year, SSC results were announced on May 27, and the first FYJC list was released on June 27. What could have been a smooth and fast transition to college turned jagged, said principals. Thrice earlier, dates were announced to declare the FYJC seat allotment list, but state failed to release the same.

Laboratory tests can also ascertain if any colour or preservatives that are not permissible are used in food.
