The young officer, Lieutenant Shashank Tiwari, was commissioned on 14 December 2024 and had been serving for less than six months. On Wednesday, he was leading a Route Opening Patrol towards a Tactical Operating Base (TOB)—a key forward post being prepared for future deployment—when the incident occurred, ANI reported. At around 11:00 AM, Agniveer Stephan Subba, a member of the patrol, lost his balance while crossing a log bridge and was swept away by a strong mountain stream. Lieutenant Tiwari immediately entered the water in an attempt to save him. Another soldier, Naik Pukar Katel, followed to assist. Together, they managed to rescue the Agniveer. However, Lieutenant Tiwari was carried away by the current. His body was recovered approximately 800 metres downstream by 11:30 AM. The Sikkim Scouts, to which he belonged, is a regiment of the Indian Army raised from and based in the state of Sikkim. Lieutenant Tiwari is survived by his parents and a sister. The Indian Army has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the young officer, stating that his actions reflect the values of commitment, leadership, and duty to fellow soldiers. First Published:

Andor – Season 2 Episode 10 'Make It Stop' Recap & Review
Make It Stop Episode 10 of Andor season 2 starts with us cutting forward a year, as we prepare for the run-up to Rogue One's story. Lonnie Jung continues to be Luthen's most valuable spy, feeding information to him and Kleya. The latest is pretty big, given he hits the alarms and sends Luthen out to meet him in person. Jung confirms that Dedra has contacted a friend in Tactical who is looking for a team so she can hit Coruscant. He believes that this is a strike against Luthen… but he's done. Jung is no longer going to be an informant for nothing, knowing it's only a matter of time before he's outed and killed. He has a wife and kid to look after, and he wants assurances. In exchange for safety and, presumably, immunity from any crimes within the Empire, he promises to reveal some massive news about what the Empire are up to. Luthen agrees and Jung talks to him about how the Empire's energy program is a lie and they're actually looking for kyber crystals. Alongside the mining on Ghorman and several other operations across the galaxy are all feeding into the Empire's master-weapon. and it would appear that Engineer Galen Erson (played by Mads Mikkelsen in Rogue One!) is a key part of this. Unfortunately for Jung, he's overplayed his hand and Luthen decides to kill him, before feeding back what he's learned to Kleya. After destroying his radio equipment and sabotaging anything that could lead the Imperials to the rebels, Luthen is greeted by Dedra. They flirt around the truth before Dedra shows her hand and knows that Luthen is part of the rebellion. Dedra is confident that he'll come quietly, given the building is surrounded and he's due to be arrested. However, when Dedra catches wind of the smoke coming from the back, she realizes that he was waiting for her. Luthen stabs himself in the gut to prevent Dedra torturing any info from him. Dedra hurriedly brings in the troops though and carts him off to get urgent medical attention. At the hospital, Dedra is determined to get Luthen to talk, forcing the hospital staff to bend over backwards for her and prioritizing Luthen's recovery. Partagaz briefs the team about Dedra's raid that's gone wrong, but he also finds out about Jung too just to add to the chaos. Kleya is now alone, and with nobody else to turn to, she heads to the abandoned apartment alone and grabs a bag hidden behind the roof panels. Flashbacks help to flesh out more of Luthen and Kleya's ties throughout this episode, including how Luthen actually protected her during his time in the army. He became disillusioned with this life, refusing to fight, and stalling for time onboard the ship. Kleya and Luthen form a tight bond over time, akin to that of a father/daughter duo 'when it suits them', although Kleya is also subjected to the atrocities from the Empire, who line up a bunch of slaves and shoot them in the town square they're currently in. Kleya wants to fight back but Luthen points out that they need to play this smart. These bonds of loyalty that the pair share are important to note because for Kleya, she owes a debt to Luthen – which she intends to repay. She shows up at the hospital and works her way through the floors to find Luthen, disguised as a nurse, but unfortunately the 19th floor (where he's being kept) is under lock and key. Kleya eventually decides to take the old fashioned route with a gun. She shoots up the guards and eventually makes it into the room with Luthen. She shuts off the machine, knowing they can't risk the rebellion efforts if he talks. After kissing him on the forehead, she leaves just as soldiers show up. The Episode Review So Luthen meets his demise, but the whole chapter works to explore the relationship dynamic between Kleya and Luthen. The flashbacks are woven nicely into the storyline, and the whole chapter shows the shades of grey we're dealing with when it comes to the rebellion. Jung's death is certainly surprising, while Luthen gives his life for the sake of the rebellion. This al works to bridge the gap up to Rogue One, which in turn leads into the original trilogy. This is easily the best Star Wars content Disney have produced, but similarly the series has also struggled with its focus too. For a show titled Andor, it's pretty funny how little this guy actually stars in his own series. The ending does leave the door wide open for the remaining two episodes though, which look set to pick up the pace.
