In a shocking turn of events, former Maharashtra minister and NCP MLA Baba Siddique was fatally shot on Saturday, sending ripples through the political and entertainment circles of Mumbai. The 66-year-old politician, known for his close ties to Bollywood celebrities, was gunned down near his son Zeeshan’s office during Dussehra festivities.

Salman Khan breaks down on Baba Siddique’s murder

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, a close friend of Siddique, was seen visiting the late leader’s residence on Sunday evening to pay his respects. Visibly shaken, Khan arrived under tight security, accompanied by his bodyguard Shera.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

Sources report that Khan rushed to Lilavati Hospital upon hearing the news, cancelling his shoot for “Bigg Boss 18.”

Was Baba Siddique behind Salman and Shah Rukh’s reconcile?

Siddique was a prominent figure in Maharashtra politics and was well-regarded for his ability to bridge gaps between people. He famously played a crucial role in reconciling Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, ending one of Bollywood’s most talked-about feuds.

The iconic moment when the two stars hugged at Siddique’s annual Iftaar party became a viral sensation.

The assassination, which occurred despite Siddique having ‘Y’ category security, has raised serious questions about the effectiveness of VIP protection.

Accused claims affiliation with Lawrence Bishnoi gang

At least six bullets were fired, with four striking Siddique in the chest. Three assailants carried out the attack, and two suspects have been arrested.

In a startling development, the arrested individuals have claimed affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, although the gang has yet to claim responsibility.

This connection adds a layer of intrigue to the case, as the same gang was allegedly involved in a shooting outside Salman Khan’s residence earlier this year.

Why Bishnoi gang is threatening Salman Khan?

The Bishnoi gang had previously threatened anyone assisting Salman Khan, citing his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck shooting incident during the filming of “Hum Saath Saath Hain.” This act had reportedly angered the Bishnoi community, who consider the blackbuck sacred.

As investigations continue, Mumbai remains on edge, grappling with losing a political figure known for his connections across various spheres of influence. Siddique was buried with state honours on Sunday evening, marking the end of a chapter in Maharashtra’s political landscape.

Baba Siddique Murder

A bone ossification test has revealed that one of the accused in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, who initially claimed to be a minor, is actually an adult. This development came following a Mumbai court order, which remanded the accused, Dharmaraj Kashyap, along with other suspects, to judicial custody until October 21.

Baba Siddique’s accused proven adult

Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and member of the NCP Ajit Pawar faction, was shot dead outside his Mumbai office on Saturday night.

Police swiftly arrested two shooters and a co-conspirator on Sunday, confirming it was a contract killing.

The case took an unexpected turn when Kashyap, one of the shooters from Uttar Pradesh, claimed to be 17 years old in court. The prosecution contested this claim, presenting an Aadhaar card showing his birth year as 2003, indicating he was 21. However, discrepancies in the name on the card and lack of other documentation led the magistrate to order the bone test.

Other accused in Baba Siddique murder case

In a parallel development, Mumbai police arrested a 28-year-old man from Pune, allegedly involved in the murder conspiracy along with his brother Shubham Lonkar.

A third shooter, Shiv Kumar alias Shiva Gautam, remains at large. Police have also identified Mohammad Zeeshan Akhtar, 21, as the alleged mastermind behind the murder.

Is Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang behind the murder?

The case took a sensational turn when the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the murder. During questioning, the arrested shooters revealed their affiliation with the notorious jailed gangster’s organization.

A social media post from an alleged gang member later claimed the murder was linked to the victim’s connection with Bollywood star Salman Khan, a long-time target of the group.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities continue to piece together the complex web of motives and actors behind this high-profile assassination.

Reliance Jio, one of India’s leading telecom operators, has introduced two new prepaid plans priced at Rs 1,028 and Rs 1,029, respectively. These plans are designed to cater to users seeking long-term recharge options with added benefits, including unlimited 5G data access.

As telecom pricing continues to rise, Jio’s new plans offer a compelling value proposition. With a combination of long-term data availability, unlimited calls, and additional perks, these plans are tailored to meet the diverse needs of Indian consumers.

Jio Rs 1,028 Recharge Plan

The Rs 1,028 plan offers users an 84-day validity period, providing unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day. For data users, the plan provides 2GB of daily data, totalling 168GB over the plan’s duration. One of the standout features is its inclusion of unlimited 5G data in regions where Jio’s 5G network is available.

In addition to the core benefits, the Rs 1,028 plan includes a complimentary Swiggy One Lite membership for Swiggy users. For entertainment, the plan offers access to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud services, allowing users to enjoy a wide range of TV shows, movies, and cloud storage options.

Jio Rs 1,029 Recharge Plan

The Rs 1,029 plan mirrors many of the benefits offered in the Rs 1,028 plan, providing unlimited calling, 100 SMS per day, and 2GB of daily data for 84 days. Similar to the Rs 1,028 plan, users in 5G-supported areas will also enjoy unlimited 5G data access.

However, the Rs 1,029 plan differentiates itself by offering a complimentary Amazon Prime Lite membership. This membership grants users access to Amazon Prime’s vast library of TV shows, movies, and exclusive content. Additionally, the plan includes access to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud, ensuring that entertainment and cloud storage options remain covered.

Which Jio Pre-Paid Plan is Better?

Both Jio mobile prepaid plans priced at Rs 1,028 and Rs 1,029 offer similar core benefits in terms of data, voice calling, and SMS. The primary difference lies in the additional perks they provide. For those who frequently order food online, the Rs 1,028 plan is a good choice due to the inclusion of Swiggy One Lite membership.

On the other hand, the Rs 1,029 plan is ideal for entertainment enthusiasts. If streaming movies, TV shows, and exclusive content on platforms like Amazon Prime is a priority, this plan offers great value through its inclusion of Amazon Prime Lite.

Indian Rupee Hits New Low as Oil Prices Surge, Foreign Investors Exit

The Indian rupee plunged to an unprecedented low against the US dollar on Friday, breaking past its previous record as global oil prices spiked and foreign investors continued their exodus from Indian markets.

Indian Rupee falls to all-time low as Oil Prices surge

The currency weakened to 83.99 per dollar, surpassing its previous record low of 83.9850 set on September 12, and falling from Thursday’s close of 83.9675. This decline marks a significant reversal from the rupee’s recent recovery to 83.50 just two weeks ago.

Angel One analyst Saish Sandeep Sawant Dessai attributes the decline to mounting concerns in global oil markets: “Yesterday, crude prices traded higher by more than 3 per cent on concerns about potential supply disruptions in the Middle East, with Israel planning to strike oil-producer Iran, and on spikes in fuel demand as a major storm barrelled into Florida.”

Foreign investors worry may exit

The situation is further complicated by Hurricane Milton’s impact on America’s fuel supply chain. “The world’s largest oil producer and consumer has been hit by a second major storm… which made landfall on Florida’s west coast, spawning tornadoes and threatening surges of seawater,” Dessai explained.

The confluence of Middle East tensions and natural disasters has created a perfect storm for oil prices, with approximately 25% of Florida’s fuel stations already reporting supply shortages, putting additional pressure on the rupee.

‘Not in Rome!’ Macron Fights to Keep ‘Emily in Paris’ on French Soil

In an unexpected twist of cultural diplomacy, French President Emmanuel Macron has entered the fray over Netflix’s hit show “Emily in Paris” potentially relocating to Rome, declaring that France “will fight hard” to keep the series in its namesake city.

President Macron on ‘Emily in Paris’ show relocation in Rome:

“We will ask them to remain in Paris, Emily in Paris in Rome doesn’t make sense,” President Macron told Variety Magazine, sparking a playful international exchange.

Now, here comes the interesting part, as Rome’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri responded on X with diplomatic wit: “Dear Emmanuel Macron, don’t worry: Emily is doing great in Rome. And one can’t control the heart: let’s let her choose.”

‘Emily in Paris’ = 10% tourism hike in France

The stakes are higher than mere entertainment. A recent study by France’s National Film Centre revealed that nearly 10% of tourists chose to visit France after watching movies or series, with Netflix‘s “Emily in Paris” serving as a significant draw. The show, starring Lily Collins as American marketing executive Emily Cooper, has become one of Netflix’s most-watched programs.

Gualtieri later added a more pointed response in The Hollywood Reporter: “I would like to hope that Macron was joking because he ought to know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state.”

Cameo role of Macron’s wife in Emily in Paris

The dispute has a personal dimension for Macron, whose wife Brigitte made a cameo appearance in season four. “It’s just a few minutes, but I think it was a very good moment for her,” the President shared, adding self-deprecatingly that he wouldn’t follow suit because “I’m less attractive than Brigitte.”

Despite criticism of the show’s stereotypical portrayal of Paris, Macron maintains its positive impact: “For my own business, it’s a very good initiative,” noting the series is “super positive in terms of attractiveness for the country.”

The show’s creator, Darren Star, has confirmed Emily’s Roman holiday, leaving viewers to wonder whether French diplomatic efforts will influence the character’s ultimate destination.

In a world grappling with an unprecedented obesity epidemic affecting 2.5 billion overweight adults—including 890 million with obesity — traditional food systems may offer a path to both health and environmental sustainability.

India serves the healthiest food, says study

The Living Planet Report presents a sobering warning: “If everyone in the world adopted the current food consumption patterns of the world’s major economies by 2050, we would exceed the 1.5°C climate target for food-related greenhouse gas emissions by 263% and require one to seven Earths to support us.”

Against this alarming backdrop, India’s National Millet Campaign emerges as a beacon of hope. The initiative promotes ancient grains known for their nutritional value and climate resilience, exemplifying how “promoting traditional foods will be an important lever to shift diets.”

India & its diverse culinary landscape

India’s diverse culinary landscape offers a compelling case study in sustainable eating patterns. The country’s food map reveals a rich tapestry of regional preferences:

  • Northern regions combine protein-rich lentils with wheat-based rotis
  • Southern states embrace fermented foods like idli and dosa, paired with nutritious sambhar
  • Coastal and northeastern areas incorporate various fish varieties
  • Traditional grains such as jowar, bajra, ragi, and Dalia feature prominently nationwide

The report uses an orange vertical line to visualize the planetary climate boundary for food—a crucial threshold for keeping greenhouse gas emissions within safe limits. This stark representation underscores the urgent need for global dietary reform.

As nations worldwide face mounting pressure to address both health and environmental challenges, India’s balanced approach to food consumption, blending traditional wisdom with regional diversity, could serve as a blueprint for sustainable dietary practices globally.

A ceremonial crown gifted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the historic Jeshoreshwari Temple in Bangladesh’s Satkhira district has been reported stolen. The theft occurred Thursday afternoon, shortly after the temple priest completed daily worship rituals.

Sacred crown gifted by PM Modi stolen from Bangladesh temple

The silver, gold-plated crown, presented by Modi during his March 2021 visit to Bangladesh, was discovered missing by cleaning staff who found the deity’s head bare.

Jyoti Chattopadhyay, whose family has been the temple’s traditional custodian for generations, confirmed the crown’s composition to Bangladeshi media.

Why Jeshoreshwari Temple in Bangladesh is significant?

The Jeshoreshwari Temple holds particular significance as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, sacred sites in Hindu mythology spread across the Indian subcontinent. The temple’s rich history dates back to the 12th century when it was originally built by a Brahman named Anari with its distinctive 100 doors.

Subsequent renovations were undertaken by Lakshman Sen in the 13th century and Raja Pratapaditya in the 16th century.

PM Modi’s visit

During his 2021 visit, PM Modi announced plans for a multipurpose community hall at the temple site, emphasizing its potential role as both a cultural centre and emergency shelter. “It will be useful for social, religious and educational events for local people and also act as a shelter during disasters like cyclones,” the Prime Minister had stated.

The theft has raised concerns about security at this historically significant religious site that represents centuries of shared cultural heritage between India and Bangladesh.

As the Indian cricket team prepares to face New Zealand in a crucial red-ball series, the spotlight has once again turned to the enigmatic Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain, known for his intense dedication and unwavering focus, was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport, surrounded by a flurry of paparazzi.

Paps ask Virat Kohli to win BGT series, here’s what’s next…

One particular interaction between Kohli and a photographer has caught the attention of fans and media alike. As the star cricketer was about to depart, a paparazzo shouted, “BGT mein aag lagani hai” (You have to light up the Border-Gavaskar Trophy), referring to the upcoming series against Australia.

Virat Kohli, taken aback by the comment, asked for clarification, inquiring, “Kismien” (what do I have to light up?). The paparazzo repeated his request, urging Kohli to set the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ablaze with his performance.

Watch the video here:

The brief exchange has sparked speculation about Kohli’s mindset ahead of the series. Given his recent history of missing out on significant matches due to personal reasons, including the birth of his second child, fans are eager to see him back in action and at his best.

Rohit Sharma to miss BGT series?

Meanwhile, India’s current captain, Rohit Sharma, is expected to miss one of the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar series due to personal commitments. While Rohit’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, the Indian team boasts a strong batting lineup that includes the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Shubman Gill, and Ajinkya Rahane.

The Border-Gavaskar series, a fierce rivalry between India and Australia, is set to begin on November 22 at Perth. The series will feature a day-night Test at Adelaide Oval, followed by matches at Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. As the teams prepare for this high-stakes battle, cricket fans around the world are eagerly anticipating a series filled with drama, intensity, and unforgettable moments.
