In a conversation with an alleged student, the 62-year-old wrote: Delhi Baba : "One Dubai Sheikh wants to [have] a sex partner, do you have any nice friend?" Victim : "Koi nahi hai" (There is no one). Delhi Baba : "How it's possible?" Victim : "I don't know." Delhi Baba : "Your any classmate? Junior?" In other chats, Chaitanyananda repeatedly addresses a victim (unclear if this is the same woman as above) in infantilising terms, such as "Sweetie Baby Daughter Doll," and sends obsessive messages across the day and late into the night: "Babyyyyy" (7:49 PM) "Baby where are you?"

During Pakistan's innings, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav grabbed attention with an appeal for "obstructing the field" against Salman Ali Agha.

Salman played a shot towards extra cover, off Axar Patel 's bowling and ran for two runs.  Surya, who collected the ball, threw it towards the striker's end in an attempt to run Salman out. However, the throw struck Salman while he was completing the second run. Suryakumar immediately ran towards the umpire and appealed for obstruction of the field. The on-field umpires referred the decision to the third umpire. Replays showed that Salman had not changed his running path deliberately, and he was rightfully declared not out. Earlier in the day, Suryakumar Yadav ...

A bizarre incident occurred during the Super Over of the India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match on Friday. On the fourth ball of the Super Over, Dasun Shanaka was given out caught behind off Arshdeep Singh. The Sri Lankan batter even reviewed the decision. Meanwhile, Shanaka started running as wicketkeeper Sanju Samson threw the ball at the stumps and hit them directly. However, he was deemed not out. There was a reason for that: since Shanaka had been given out caught behind and had opted for a review, the ball was considered dead from that very moment. Arshdeep had appealed for a caught behind against Shanaka, which was why the umpire initially gave it out. UltraEdge showed a clear gap between the bat and the ball. Umpire Gazi Sohel explained the rule to Suryakumar Yadav at length, as the Indian camp looked stunned.  Opener Pathum Nissanka's magnificent hundred went in vain as India defeated Sri Lanka via a Super Over in their inconsequential Super 4s match of the As...

Ladakh statehood activist Sonam Wangchuk and the central government are on a warpath following the violent protests in the mountainous region that left four killed and over 50 injured. In an interview to NDTV's Padmaja Joshi on Thursday, Mr Wangchuk - who the Centre has held responsible for inciting a mob with provocative statements - said he made appeals for calm in both Ladakhi and Hindi when gunshots were heard, and refuted the Centre's allegations that he left the protest venue without controlling the mob. "I don't know why they're playing this blame game after such a sad incident. If you look, I made an appeal in Ladakhi and Hindi while guns were blasting right near my ears. You can hear the blasts in that speech where I say this is not the way our path has been. Our path has been peaceful and this violence is not supporting us. It's doing more damage to the cause," he said. "And right as I was speaking, there were explosions... So I made thos...

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today joined women at a puja pandal in Kolkata in a few steps of Dandiya. The 25-second video clip from the puja at south Kolkata's Chakraberia has now sparked a political row, coming as it does a day after at least 10 people in the city and its suburbs died in overnight rains. The BJP has been sharp in its criticism.  In a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, the BJP's Amit Malviya said, "Not even 24 hours since Kolkata was drowning and 11 people were electrocuted to death, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee found it appropriate to indulge in revelry and play dandiya during a Durga Puja inauguration in Bhawanipur's Chakraberia.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked towards adding a spine to India's foreign policy, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah. In a conversation with NDTV CEO and Editor-In-Chief Rahul Kanwal, Mr Shah gave his take on how PM Modi's tenure stands out in comparison to his predecessors, including Jawaharlal Nehru - the first Prime Minister of India. "When historians would compare the era of Modi with other Prime Ministers, the result will be in PM Modi's favour," Mr Shah said when asked how history will remember the eras of PM Modi and Nehru. Nehru holds the record for the longest tenure as the Prime Minister, with more than 16 years in office. PM Modi, with more than 11 years in office, is the second-longest serving prime minister of India in terms of an uninterrupted tenure.

The idea of a "larger-than-life personality cult" built around Prime Minister Narendra Modi - which many feel is the secret of the BJP's success and cause enough to switch to a Presidential form of government -- was brushed off today by one of his closest aides and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. "Such a thing cannot be built," and it is the Prime Minister's personality, he told NDTV, that has grown over the years though many tasks and experiences.   "From a child of a very poor family to working in an organization, to a person who fought the elections of the Sarpanch, to becoming a successful Chief Minister, then to becoming the Prime Minister, he has done a lot of impossible things.  The whole country and the world have been amazed by his achievements," Mr Shah said in an exclusive interview with NDTV CEO and Editor-In-Chief Rahul Kanwal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been the BJP's go-to face at many elections -- especially wherever the ...

India will witness a restructuring of its Goods and Services Tax (GST) system from tomorrow that government officials have described as the launch of "GST 2.0." The overhaul, coinciding with the first day of Navaratri, will impact nearly every household, business, and service sector in the country. The GST Council, composed of the Centre and state governments, has agreed to rationalise the tax structure by reducing rates on hundreds of essential and mass-consumption items. For consumers, the immediate effect will be visible on supermarket shelves, in pharmacies, at automobile dealerships, and across sectors such as healthcare, insurance, and education. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that this restructuring will add around Rs 2 lakh crore to the economy.
