Police said Sharma had met the accused through a dating app in 2024 and the two married in December 2025. “The accused and his mother rushed Twisha to a hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival by doctors. Police was alerted about the case by hospital authorities at around 11pm,” Katara Hills police station in-charge Sunil Kumar Dubey told PTI.

FIR against Abhishek Banerjee over inflammatory statements, remarks against Amit Shah

FIR against Abhishek Banerjee over inflammatory statements, remarks against Amit Shah KOLKATA: An FIR has been registered against TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee at the Bidhannagar North Cyber Crime Police Station for allegedly making inflammatory statements ahead of the elections, making remarks regarding the playing of DJs and issuing statements against Union home minister Amit Shah. On Friday, Banerjee accused the Centre of allowing violence to erupt in West Bengal after the assembly election results and alleged that the counting process was manipulated during the recently concluded polls. In a post on X, the Trinamool Congress general secretary alleged that party candidates and counting agents were forcibly removed from several counting centres and claimed that central government employees controlled the counting process. “To every soldier of the Trinamool Congress family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage, resilience, and relentless fight for justice. Despite an extremely difficult and compromised election, you never gave up hope,” Banerjee wrote. He further alleged that post-poll violence broke out across Bengal after the results were declared. “After the results, Bengal witnessed shocking post-poll violence despite repeated promises of protection by the Centre. Central forces remained mute spectators as our workers, offices, and homes were attacked and set ablaze,” he said. Banerjee also expressed condolences to families of those killed in the violence. “My deepest condolences to the families of those we lost in this struggle. Bengal has suffered immensely over the past few days, and such scenes are against the very spirit of our land,” he added.

Adanis set to settle US fraud case with $18m payment

Adanis set to settle US fraud case with $18m payment NEW DELHI: Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani and his nephew, Sagar, executive director of Adani Green, are set to settle a civil fraud case in the US by paying combined penalties of $18 million. Gautam Adani will pay a penalty of $6 million, and Sagar $12 million, to end the lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as per court papers. In Nov 2024, SEC and the US department of justice (DoJ) alleged that the Adanis orchestrated a bribery scheme involving govt officials to secure solar power contracts, which were concealed from US investors and lenders while raising capital. DoJ is separately moving to drop fraud charges against Gautam Adani, Bloomberg reported earlier. The department’s actions are being closely watched. The move will pave the way for the ports-to-energy conglomerate to return to the international markets to fund its massive expansion plans. Adani Group is reviving plans to seek about $1 billion through a US-listed dollar-denominated bond, Bloomberg said in a report on Friday.

No bail relief for Darshan, SC asks Karnataka to examine 60 key witnesses in 1 year

No bail relief for Darshan, SC asks Karnataka to examine 60 key witnesses in 1 year NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Friday said Kannada film actor Darshan, an accused in the Renukaswamy murder case, is at liberty to approach the court for bail if there was no substantial progress in the trial in the next one year. A bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi asked the Karnataka govt to ensure 60 witnesses were examined in one year. The court said the trial court could hear the case without adjournments on flimsy grounds. On Aug 14, 2025, Supreme Court cancelled bail to Darshan and other accused, granted by Karnataka high court on Dec 13, 2024, warning against granting five-star treatment to undertrial prisoners. In his bail petition, Darshan had complained he was denied basic amenities. With only 10 of 272 witnesses examined till now, he said he had to remain in jail for long, which violated Article 21 of the Constitution. Darshan claimed he was not allowed to receive or buy food, clothing and bedding from private sources as permitted under Karnataka Prison Act, 1963. After Supreme Court sought a report from the state on May 4 this year, senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Karnataka, submitted that Darshan was provided all amenities due to an undertrial prisoner.
