In Big Win For Homebuyers, Top Court Okays 22 Police Cases Against Builders

The Central Bureau of Investigation has received green signal from the Supreme Court to file 22 cases involving the nexus between the banks and developers to dupe homebuyers in National Capital region. The cases can involve prominent builders in the zone. The agency has also sought more time to investigate builders of other cities. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for CBI, told the bench of Justices Suryakant and N Koteshwar Singh that more time is needed to complete the investigation. The bench gave it six weeks, expressing satisfaction over the investigation done by CBI. The court was hearing a batch of petitions filed by over 1,200 homebuyers, who booked flats under subvention plans in various housing projects in the NCR. They have alleged that the banks are forcing them to pay EMIs even though they have not received possession of flats. Under the subvention scheme, banks disburse the sanctioned amount directly to the accounts of builders. They pay EMIs unt...

Akash Deep "Lived In A Hellhole, People Would Die There": Ex-Coach

Akash Deep turned out to be India's hero in the 2nd India vs England Test which the Shubman Gill-led side won by 336 runs. The 28-year-old pacer, who hails from Bihar but plays Ranji Trophy for Bengal, has so far played eight Tests picking 25 wickets. In the Edgbaston Test, he picked 10 wickets. With his great show in the second Test, Akash Deep is all but confirmed of a spot in the third Test in Lord's too. Akash Deep struggled a lot while he was growing up as a cricketer. 

Former Bengal coach Arun Lal recalled Akash Deep's days of struggle.  

"He used to live in this dormitory of CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal), which was a hellhole. Now, I'm sure it's better, but he never once said that, you know, sir, that you should put the food there or the food is not, you know, in the canteen, and I am having this problem," Lal told Sports Now. "Not once did I hear any complaint in three years, four years. It was unbelievable.

"I was aghast when I went and saw the dormitory. You know, it was unbearable. It was a bloody hellhole. I thought people would die of disease there."

Arun Lal revealed Akash Deep's talent impressed him from the beginning.

"I was part of the Bengal team, and Akash was amongst the probables. When I saw him, I thought he was absolute gold. There's no question about it," Arun Lal said.

"He had pace, he had stamina, he had strength, and most important thing I found in this young man was that he never complained about anything."

Lal added that Akash Deeo was always strong physically.

"He was always a strong lad, much stronger than all his peers in the Bengal team, and he still is. His work ethic is beyond belief. He would send me videos of himself in his village running up the hill. There's a mountain near his village. He would run up and down for training on it, and the area was surrounded by just jungle. So, he would do things like that, to train when he was in his village," he said.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said. The United States and other western allies also stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an ...
