Sindhu, Prannoy advance to second round of Singapore Open
Two-time Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu and H.S. Prannoy moved to the second round of the Singapore Open Super 750 tournament with contrasting victories in Singapore on Tuesday (May 27, 2025). Sindhu made light work of Canada's Wen Yu Zhang to notch a 21-14, 21-9 win in just 31 minutes. A far tougher challenge awaits the former world champion in the next round, where she will face Tokyo Olympic gold medallist and current world No.5 Chen Yu Fei of China. World No. 34 Prannoy, meanwhile, had to dig deep for his win. The 32-year-old battled past Denmark's higher-ranked Rasmus Gemke, fighting back from a game down to triumph 19-21, 21-16, 21-14. He will lock horns with France's Christov Popov in the round of 16. However, it was a disappointing day for the rest of the Indian contingent with Malvika Bansod, Anmol Kharb, Priyanshu Rajawat, and Kiran George all crashing out after suffering defeats in their respective opening round singles matches. Malvika and Priyanshu both let slip a one-game lead. Malvika lost 21-14, 18-21, 11-21 to Thailand's eighth seed Supanida Katethong, while Priyanshu fell 21-14, 10-21, 14-21 to seventh-seeded Japanese shuttler Kodai Naraoka in a match that lasted over an hour. Anmol was outclassed by Chen. The Indian showed grit in the second game before going down 11-21, 22-24. George, who reached the India Open quarterfinal earlier this year, was defeated by China's Weng Hong Yang 19-21, 17-21, while R. Santhosh Ramraj lost his men's singles opener 14-21, 8-21 to South Korea's Kim Ga Eun. In mixed doubles, the Indian pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto were beaten 18-21, 13-21 by China's Cheng Xing and Zhang Chi. Ashith Surya and Amrutha Parmuthesh also bowed out, losing 11-21, 17-21 to Japan's Yuichi Shimogami and Sayaka Hobara. The women's doubles duo of Kavipriya Selvam and Simran Singh was no match for Korea's Baek Ha Na and Lee So Hee, going down 4-21 9-21.

Junagadh man kidnaps ex-girlfriend's brother for 3L ‘breakup compensation'
Rajkot: In a tale of obsession and vengeance, a man in Junagadh kidnapped the brother of his former girlfriend, who is now living abroad, to demand Rs 3 lakh from her family as "reimbursement for expenses incurred during their relationship". A case was lodged at Junagadh C Division police station against Sagar Solanki for kidnapping, causing hurt, using obscene language and criminal intimidation. The complainant, Priyanshu Rathod, manages a security agency that was earlier run by his father, a former BSF soldier who suffered a paralytic attack. According to the FIR, on May 15, Priyanshu and his friend Amit Chauhan were travelling by motorcycle when Solanki, accompanied by an unknown person, intercepted them in a car. Without saying anything, Solanki allegedly assaulted Priyanshu and threatened him with a billhook, demanding he make a video call to his sister Kinjal. Investigators said Kinjal ended her relationship with Solanki and ceased communication after moving to Greece 11 months ago, where she works as a hotel manager. When Priyanshu tried to call Kinjal as instructed, she didn't answer. Solanki snatched both their mobile phones and forced them into his car. He drove them to a farm via Bilkha Road and tried calling Kinjal again from Priyanshu's phone. Although Kinjal answered, she immediately disconnected on seeing Solanki. Solanki then hit Priyanshu with a stick and also attacked Chauhan, forcing them back into the car. At an eatery, he released Chauhan but took Priyanshu in another vehicle towards Jetpur. Stopping at an isolated location, he video-called Priyanshu's mother, demanding Rs 3 lakh as reimbursement for money he spent on Kinjal, threatening to kill Priyanshu. After Priyanshu's pleading and promise of payment, Solanki let him go.
