Gujarat police have arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly performing some rituals inside a crematorium and sharing a video of it on social media claiming that he possessed supernatural powers, an official said on Friday. With this, the police have registered the first case under the new Gujarat Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil, and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act, the official said. The police arrested the accused, Ashwin Makwana, on October 15 after a video of him performing rituals at a crematorium in Dhoraji town of Rajkot district went viral on social media. Inspector RJ Godham, a complainant in the first information report (FIR), confirmed that this was the first FIR registered in the state under the newly enacted law against black magic and other such activities. "This new law came into effect on September 2 through a gazette notification, and when we tried to upload the FIR on our eGujCop platform on October 15, we learnt tha
Pakistan captain Shan Masood admitted he was disappointed after an innings defeat in the first Test against England despite the hosts putting up 556 in the first innings. Pakistan became the first team in Test history to lose a game after scoring 500 plus runs in the first innings. "It is disappointing to lose again. England found a way to win the match; they created their window of opportunity. Harsh reality is that test cricket quality sides find a way to win matches," he told the media after the match on Friday.
Shan scored 151 in the first innings to lead his team to a big total which was surpassed by England who declared at 823 for 7 after a brilliant 317 from Harry Brook and 262 from Joe Root.
"I wouldn't say my team is mentally weak but we expected this pitch to break by the third day onwards that is why we prolonged our innings. But at the end of the day you have to find ways to take 20 wickets and we are not doing that in recent times," he said.
Shan said the pitch was the same for both sides but a good formula to win Test matches is to put up a good first innings score so that you are in the driving seat in the third and fourth innings and then find windows to take 20 wickets.
He pointed out that Pakistan had played a Test in Multan for the first time since 2022 and didn't get a chance to interact with the curator or groundsmen.
"Both squads were different this time in Multan. But we need to improve on ways to adapt too conditions and situations every day of a test and find ways to win as pitch changes everyday," he said.
The Pakistan skipper admitted that the team was not learning from its mistakes and repeating them again and again.
"We can't blame anyone but ourselves. Where we made lapses they didn't and capitalised on their opportunities. The pitch character did change on the fourth day when we came to bat as some cracks had opened up and there was a little something for the bowlers with the new ball." Asked about the continuing poor form of Babar Azam and whether it was time to give him a break, Shan said that in Test cricket you hoped that the next innings from a player like Babar would be big. "But we will sit-down and reflect on this test and then make decisions on the squad for the next test," he added.
