Prisoner escapes gallows, gets seven years for killing cellmate
TAIPING: An oil palm plantation worker escaped the death penalty after the High Court here today sentenced him to seven years' jail on an amended charge of manslaughter involving the death of a detainee at Taiping Prison six years ago. Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin handed down the sentence on Mohd Nizam Shah Shahruddin, 40, after he pleaded guilty to the amended charge under Section 304(b) of the Penal Code for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. He was previously charged under Section 302 for murder. The prison term was ordered to begin from the date of his arrest on Aug 29, 2019. Nizam was suspected of causing the death of Chua Teng Wooi, 41, at the Taiping Prison remand cell at about 9.30pm on the same day. Noor Ruwena said the decision was reached after considering the facts of the case, submissions by both the prosecution and defence, as well as the statements of the accused and witnesses. The court accepted that Nizam had raised reasonable doubt regarding any intent to kill, stating he was angered by the victim's behaviour and intended only to "teach him a lesson." According to the judge, testimony revealed that Chua had been beaten by multiple detainees in the remand cell due to his habit of defecating indiscriminately, believed to be caused by diarrhoea. The court also noted uncertainties over whether the accused and others were responsible for the lung injuries that caused the victim's death, citing testimony suggesting the injuries may have resulted from a fall in the prison toilet due to poor lighting. "The accused's statement that he had awakened other inmates to help the deceased after the fall, and had carried the deceased, was not disputed. The affidavit stating that other detainees had also assaulted the victim was similarly unchallenged," said Noor Ruwena. Deputy public prosecutor Sally Chay Mei Ling led the prosecution, while counsel Rajit Singh Tara Singh represented the accused.

Yuvraj Singh's father, Yograj Singh, slammed Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer after their IPL 2025 final loss to RCB, calling his shot a 'criminal offence' and blaming him for the defeat. read more Former India cricketer Yograj Singh has strongly criticised Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer after the team's heartbreaking loss in the IPL 2025 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Calling Iyer the 'only criminal' of the match, Yograj blamed his poor shot selection for the defeat. Punjab Kings, playing their first IPL final since 2014, lost the title clash by just 6 runs. Shreyas Iyer, who had batted well in Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians, played a rash shot at a crucial time in the chase when they had just lost their second opener Prabhsimran Singh. This turned the match in RCB's favour. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Yograj Singh slams Shreyas Iyer World Cup-winning player Yuvraj Singh's father has now slammed Shreyas Iyer for the defeat. Yograj said that the shot played by Iyer was nothing less than a 'criminal offence' and even compared it with a serious legal offence (murder). 'In yesterday's match, there was only one criminal — Shreyas Iyer, captain of the Punjab team… When you think you are so big, this is what happens,' Yograj told IANS. 'The shot which Shreyas Iyer played in the final was a criminal offence, according to me. Ashok Mankad told me about this criminal offence, which comes under Section 302,' Yograj told ANI, referring to the Indian Penal Code section for murder. 'He also told me that the repercussions of this is that you will be banned for two matches. What Shreyas did yesterday is not acceptable. There is no apology for that,' he added. Punjab Kings fans were heartbroken after the narrow loss. This was their first playoff appearance in 11 years. However, Shreyas Iyer should be credited for his performances throughout the season, which helped PBKS finish at the top of the points table in league stage. He was supported well by all his teammates. RCB, on the other hand, celebrated their first-ever IPL title after years of heartbreaks and near-misses. This was their fourth IPL final and they finally managed to lay their hands on the trophy. RCB became the eighth team in IPL's history to win the title.

'Shreyas Iyer is biggest VILLAIN...': Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh makes massive statement about PBKS captain
After an 18-year drought, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 championship, securing a victory by six runs over the Punjab Kings in the final match. RCB won the IPL 2025 title after trying for up to 18 years. In a very close battle at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, they won against Punjab Kings by only 6 runs. RCB's triumph was the result of a tough battle and it brought to an end their long-running wait for a title. Shreyas Iyer's departure from the game was what turned the 2025 IPL final around. Being told his shot was unacceptable by Yograj Singh, Iyer's wicket significantly slowed down the team's protocol in chasing the total. "The shot which Shreyas Iyer played in the final was a criminal offence, according to me. Ashok Mankad told me about this criminal offence, which comes under Section 302. He also told me that the repercussions of this is that you will be banned for two matches. What Shreyas did yesterday is not acceptable. There is no apology for that," told Yograj Singh to ANI. Off the bowling of Romario Shepherd, wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma caught Iyer out dismissively. With this wicket, the match swung in RCB's favor and it became very tough for Punjab Kings to come back. Punjab Kings ended their innings at 184, not having reached the required total of 191 and lost by six runs. Shashank Singh playing brilliantly with half a century was not enough to save the team, since losing Iyer early on was difficult for them to overcome. The match between the two finalists was full of drama and impressive moments. The win by RCB stopped their years-long wait and led to a happy celebration by both the players and fans.

Yograj Singh blasts Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer for ‘criminal offence' in IPL 2025 final; ‘There's no apology…'
aking tFormer India cricketer Yograj Singh minced no words for Shreyas Iyer after the Punjab Kings captain's reckless dismissal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) became a talking point, thus describing it as a 'criminal offence.' After his match-winning 87 not out against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, expectations arose on Iyer to play a similar kind of innings following RCB's total of 190/9 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. Coming in at no.4 after the dismissal of Prabhsimran Singh, Iyer lasted only two balls for his one run before an ill-judged shot against Romario Shepherd resulted him being caught behind by Jitesh Sharma. It also proved to be one of the turning points in the game as Punjab Kings fell just six runs short of the target. Speaking to ANI, Yograj went no holds barred. 'The shot which Shreyas Iyer played in the final was a criminal offence, according to me. Ashok Mankad told me about this criminal offence, which comes under Section 302," Yograj, father of two-time World Cup winner Yuvraj Singh, said. "He also told me that the repercussions of this is that you will be banned for two matches. What Shreyas did yesterday is not acceptable. There is no apology for that,' added Yograj, who played one Test and six ODIs. Meanwhile, Iyer stated the job is still half done. 'The job is still half done, we have to be here and win the trophy next year,' said a dejected Iyer during the post-match presentation ceremony. 'Positives, definitely the way we turned up and every individual stepping up and saying that he can win the match, there are so many youngsters in the team, I'm sure they've gained a lot of experience from these matches and when they come next year they will carry immense experience with them. We can build some tactics and strategies around that so that we can play some decent cricket,' he added. Stay updated on all the action from the IPL 2025.
