Paresh Rawal hits back at trolls criticising him for drinking his own urine: 'Are they feeling yeh akele pee gaya?'
Paresh Rawal has been in the news lately for 'Hera Pheri 3' as he suddenly announced exit from the film. But fans finally breathed a sigh of relief as Rawal said he's back in the film and all is sorted between him, Akshay Kumar and the whole team. Meanwhile, a comment of the actor in an interview created a huge stir on the internet. Rawal had confessed to drinking his own urine to nurse himself from a health scare. He also went on to add that he sipped his urine like beer. Paresh had further said in this interview with Lallantop that he did it after he fell down. "I did this for 15 days and got my Xray. The doctor was shocked ke yeh cementing kaise ho gaya. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for 2 or 2.5 months but I got out of the hospital and began working within a month." The actor got trolled for his comment about drinking his own urine. And now he has lashed back at these trolls. The actor has slammed people criticising him for drinking his urine as he told Bollywood Hungama, "I haven't offered them (urine), right? Or are they having a problem because I didn't offer them? Are they feeling, 'Yaar yeh akele pee gaye aur humko nahin diya?'!' He added, "It's an incident of my life which took place 40 years ago. Woh maine bol diya. Usme kya ho gaya? People enjoy making a mountain out of a molehill. Karne do unko mazaa!' Rawal also was asked if a lot of people did the same or asked him about it after seeing his interview. He said, "A lot of people have, but I don't want to get into it.'

India Women vs England Women Live Score, 2nd ODI: Rain Stops, Resumption Time Revealed
Live now IND-W vs ENG-W, 2nd ODI (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): Follow the live action, scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary. IND-W vs ENG-W Live Score, 2nd ODI (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): India will aim to seal the ODI series against England and extend their winning run when they play the second match at Lord's on Saturday. After a four-wicket win in the opener, another victory will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead. Meanwhile, Rawal was handed a fine of 10 per cent of her match fee and given one demerit point for a Level 1 breach, concerning two separate incidents. Rawal was found guilty of making 'avoidable physical contact' with England bowler Lauren Filer during the 18th over and with Sophie Ecclestone in the following over. With the Women's ODI World Cup at home looming, these matches are crucial preparation. Newcomers like Kranti Goud and Pratika Rawal have impressed, adding to the team's growing depth. Deepti Sharma, fresh from a match-winning knock, remains a key figure. England, on the other hand, must bounce back quickly, having now lost five straight ODIs to India at home. Jul 19, 2025 18:47 IST UPDATE – 6.45 pm IST (1.15 pm GMT) – More news coming in from Lord's and it is all positive! According to sources, if there is no further rain, play will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and the toss will take place half an hour before the start of play. Also, it will be a 29-over-a-side game. Let's hope that the weather stays free of any more rain and we can get going with the rescheduled timings and playing conditions. Jul 19, 2025 18:35 IST UPDATE – 6.35 pm IST (1.05 pm GMT) – Finally, some positive news coming in from Lord's! According to a few sources, all of the covers are coming off which means the rain has completely stopped and the inspection should be taking place. We might get more positive news real soon, so stick around. Jul 19, 2025 18:20 IST UPDATE – 6.20 pm IST (12.50 pm GMT) – Right then, there is some news from the ground. The rain seems to have subsided and if there is no further rain, there will be an inspection in 10 minutes time, i.e., at 6.30 pm IST (1 pm GMT). So, stick around for further updates. Jul 19, 2025 17:55 IST UPDATE – 5.55 pm IST (12.25 pm GMT) – A quick weather check… And, it's still raining! Plenty of time left for the start of a 20-over-a-side game, but if the weather continues to stay the same, the chances of even that happening will quickly diminish. Stay tuned as we might get an update soon from the ground given the state of the weather in the next half an hour or so. Jul 19, 2025 17:05 IST UPDATE – 5.05 pm IST (11.35 am GMT) – Nothing much to report again from the ground and we keep losing overs with every passing minute. The Lord's drainage system will be thoroughly tested, it seems, but again, there is some positive forecast later in the afternoon, which keeps the hopes of a shortened contest alive. Jul 19, 2025 16:19 IST UPDATE – 4.20 pm IST (10.50 am GMT) – Right then, not much of a change in terms of the weather as it is still raining in London and over the Lord's stadium. According to a few sources, we will start losing overs at 12 pm local time, which is in about 10 minutes. As mentioned earlier, there is a break in the rain later in the afternoon but the question remains if that break will be long enough to allow the ground staff ample time to get the ground ready for play whilst avoiding the cut-off time of 8.38 pm IST (3.08 pm GMT) for a 20-over-a-side contest. Stick around for more updates on the weather and the state of play. Jul 19, 2025 15:50 IST UPDATE – 3.50 pm IST (10.20 am GMT) – Well, it seems like the rain has picked up and it is now pouring down. The frustration keeps growing as the chances of the play starting anytime soon keep getting pushed back due to the inclement weather. But, it is what it is and we can only hope and wait for now. Stay tuned for further updates. Jul 19, 2025 15:24 IST UPDATE – 3.25 pm IST (9.55 am GMT) – Right then, the start is now officially delayed as well and it sure looks to be a prolonged delay. It is not just about the rain stopping and the immaculate drainage at work, but with the sheer amount of rain, the outfield has become quite soft and soggy, which is always a risk in terms of fielding, and to dry that out, it will take some extra time. Jul 19, 2025 14:59 IST TOSS UPDATE – It is 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) and it would have been TOSS time, but the toss has been officially delayed. The groundstaff are already working around the clock as the rain seems to be light and the drainage at Lord's is one of the very best but unless the rain stops completely and doesn't start again, at least until the mop-up work is done, there cannot be any cricketing action. Stick around for more updates. Jul 19, 2025 14:43 IST There is some official news coming in from Lord's on social media and it seems like it is raining right now and conditions do look pretty bleak to begin with. They have also mentioned an official cut-off time for a 20-over-a-side contest which is 3.08 pm GMT (8.38 pm IST). That's far away, but for now, it looks like we are in for a delayed start. Stay tuned for the latest updates. Jul 19, 2025 14:40 IST The pitch at Lord's is historically known to offer assistance to seam bowlers, especially with the new ball. This could play into the hands of both sides, especially England Women, who possess quality pacers capable of exploiting the conditions. India's spin attack, which has been consistently effective throughout the tour, will also be a key factor in restricting England's scoring. With the series on the line, fans can expect a fiercely contested encounter as England look to level the score and India aim to seal another historic series win on English soil. However, there is a threat of rain around in London, especially early on, but let's hope that we can get a game in. Stay tuned for the toss and team news. Jul 19, 2025 14:36 IST England, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back and keep the series alive on their home turf. Their performance in the first ODI, where they posted a competitive 258/6, showcased flashes of brilliance, particularly through Sophia Dunkley's impressive 83 and Alice Davidson-Richards' half-century. However, their bowling attack will need to find a way to contain a confident Indian batting lineup that successfully chased down the target with Deepti Sharma leading the charge with an unbeaten 62. Jul 19, 2025 14:29 IST Hello and welcome to one and all! The iconic Lord's Cricket Ground is set to host a crucial second One Day International between England Women and India Women. India arrive at the 'Home of Cricket' with significant momentum, having not only clinched the preceding T20I series 3-2 but also securing a hard-fought four-wicket victory in the first ODI at Southampton. This puts them in a commanding 1-0 lead in the three-match series, eyeing an unassailable advantage. Jul 18, 2025 15:05 IST From Southampton, the bandwagon will move north to the capital city of London for the second ODI between England and India at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Just like they did in the T20I series, India have taken the lead in the series, but with this being a three-game series, this is last chance saloon for England. Having opted to bat first, the hosts were rocked early and after a bit of recovery, were in a spot of bother, but fifties from Sophia Dunkley and Alice Davidson-Richards steered them to calmer waters and helped them get to 258. It did not prove to be enough, and even though India stumbled during the middle phase, Deepti Sharma led the way and, with Jemimah Rodrigues for company, took the visiting side home. It was the same old struggle against spin that has been England's Achilles heel for quite some time, and they will have to find a way to avoid being strangled again, as they are likely to be served a healthy diet of spin going forward. With the new ball, Kate Cross and Lauren Bell were inconsistent with their lines and lengths, though Lauren Filer impressed. In the spin department, Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean made an impact, but they did seem to miss a trick in Southampton not having a third specialist spin option in Linsey Smith. That said, given how pacers have had a major say in the past couple of Tests at Lord's, pacers could dominate the proceedings. Talking about the pacers, Kranti Gaud gave India a bright start by removing Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont, who had put together double-century stands in the first two ODIs against West Indies. The spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Shree Charani did what was expected of them, keeping things tight through the middle overs. However, after an impressive fielding display across the T20I series, India were a bit sloppy in the field this time, putting down three catches, including crucial chances of Dunkley and Davidson-Richards. In the chase, it was a case of Indian batters getting starts but failing to convert them into substantial scores, and the visitors will be keen to improve on that front. India have now won their last five ODIs against England on English soil, and the last time they played at Lord's, the contest ended in dramatic fashion with Deepti Sharma running out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end while backing up. There was a bit of a needle in the series opener, with Pratika Rawal at the centre of it through avoidable shoulder contact, first with Filer while taking a single, and later with Ecclestone after her dismissal. So, expect the contest at Lord's to have a bit of spice to it. Will India put the series to bed with another win? Or will it be England who take the series to a decider? We shall find out.

Delhi: UIDAI probes unauthorised website offering Aadhaar-related services, staffers booked
The Delhi Police has lodged an FIR into the alleged fraudulent use of the Aadhaar ecosystem after an employee with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) filed a complaint against several individuals, including his colleagues. The FIR was lodged on July 10 at the Cyber police station in the New Delhi district based on a complaint filed by Ravinder Rawal, the Assistant Section Officer in the Enforcement Division of the UIDAI Head Office. The FIR named two multi-tasking operators (MTOs) at UIDAI's Regional Office (RO) in Delhi, two Aadhaar operators, and other unknown individuals as the primary accused. According to the FIR, the UIDAI began an internal probe after it discovered an unauthorised website, was offering various Aadhaar-related services not sanctioned by the authority. The services included printing Aadhaar cards using fingerprint-biometrics and Aadhaar numbers, as well as generating Aadhaar numbers by using enrollment IDs and registered mobile numbers. To check the veracity of the website, the authority shared a test Enrollment ID on the website around 9 pm on May 5 to get a Unique Identification (UID). The website charged Rs 300 for a service called 'Generate UID using Enrollment ID (EID)', Rawal said in his complaint. He added that in response to the EID, the website fraudulently fetched the Aadhaar number and displayed it on the website. Thereafter, when the UIDAI checked its system to find out who searched for the EID, it discovered that one of the MTOs had accessed the details at 2.55 pm on May 6. According to the FIR, the MTO — who was granted controlled access to Aadhaar-related information for quality audit and review tasks — admitted that another MTO frequently used his login credentials for the RO portal and requested one-time passwords (OTPs) to access it. While some access was for official work, the other MTO also used his portal for unauthorised data searches, it added. The FIR said that further investigation revealed that the other MTO did not have access to the RO portal and admitted to using the login credentials of his colleagues. He also disclosed his connection with an Aadhaar operator, who reportedly approached him because his system couldn't provide UID details using EIDs or phone numbers. The operator allegedly told the MTO that his Aadhaar centre was often visited by people who asked for such details. According to the FIR, a deal was struck – the operator would send EIDs or mobile numbers to the MTO, who would then retrieve the UIDs from the RO portal and share the same. In return, the operator paid the MTO Rs 50 per transaction. These payments were often made to the MTO's wife, who would then transfer the funds to her husband's account. The FIR added that a similar arrangement was discovered in relation to another alleged Aadhaar operator, who also sent resident details to the MTO for information retrieval from the RO portal, for which payments were made. The FIR included detailed transaction records from April 2023 to February 2025, showing money transferred to the MTO. Additionally, the MTO admitted to making payments to two former MTOs at UIDAI-Head Office in Delhi, who are already under investigation for fraudulent Aadhaar update activities, said the FIR. 'The aforesaid act… shows that they have conspired and intentionally carried out fraudulent updates and transmitted identity information of individuals. They dishonestly used the Aadhaar ecosystem, cheated individuals by deceiving them through an illegal Aadhaar update process, and created false documents using a computer, dishonestly and fraudulently in lieu of undue financial advantage,' Rawal said in his complaint.
