Dharashiv (Maharashtra):

A girl fell while riding her bicycle, unaware that it would lead to her death.

She was killed by her father with an axe in Maharashtra’s Dharashiv district on Sunday, hours after the nine-year-old girl fell while riding a bicycle.

As per the police, the girl, Gauri, used to fall ill frequently, which frustrated her father, Gyaneshwar Jadhav.

Her fall from the bicycle on Sunday angered her father so much that he decided to kill her. He attacked her with an axe while she was sleeping. Jadhav was allegedly drunk when he killed his daughter.

He allegedly kept her body at their home in Paranda taluka for 24 hours after the murder, the police said. Jadhav has been arrested.

“The accused, Gyaneshwar Jadhav, killed his nine-year-old daughter Gauri with an axe. His daughter, who was ill frequently, fell while riding a bicycle. The father got angry and killed his daughter by hitting her with an axe while she was sleeping,” said Gorakshanath Kharad, Assistant Police Inspector, Aamby Police Station.

This comes a week after a man killed his daughter for scoring low marks in a mock test in Sangli. Sadhna Bhonsle – a Class 12 student – was preparing for pre-medical test, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET, and was taking mock tests for it. She scored low marks in her practice tests, which angered her father, Dhondiram Bhonsle, so much that he beat the 17-year-old to death.

I’ve never said anything in relation to #MeToo about Sajid. In fact, when those allegations started coming out, someone even added my name to the list of people who accused him. I said, ‘No.’ Dekhiye, jahan jisne jo galti ki hai woh bolo (Look, whoever has made a mistake, call them out for that)” Like I’m openly saying now that he abused me. But Sajid never tried any of those (sexual misconduct) things with me. So I will not say that about him.”

She also recalled taking on a newspaper for “wrongly” adding her name to Sajid’s dating history. “And I made sure they apologised to me for that,” she said.

In A Nutshell

Esha Gupta recently clarified her fight with her Humshakals director Sajid Khan had nothing to do with #MeToo allegations. The actress alleged that while Sajid verbally abused her, he never tried to sexually abuse her.

New Delhi:

Esha Gupta had an infamous fight with director Sajid Khan on the sets of the film Humshakals (2014). During a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Esha alleged how Sajid verbally abused her and how she gave it back to him. Esha also clarified she didn’t level #MeToo allegations against the filmmaker. 

What’s Happening

• In the interview, Esha claimed that Sajid Khan abused her on the sets of Humshakals, following which she gave him piece of her mind.
• After this alleged incident, the actress said she wanted to leave the film, but she didn’t walk out after producer Vashu Bhagnani’s apology. Later, Sajid Khan also apologised to her, she added. 
• “I had a fight. Sajid Khan and I were not at all on the same page, and we ended up having a proper fight. It happened once, and after that, things were never the same. I don’t like people abusing me. You should always treat people the way you want them to treat you. It’s that simple. Unhone mujhe gaali di… phir maine bhi di (He abused me, and in return, I also abused him)” Esha said.
• “I walked out of the set. I went home. I didn’t stay. I had also made up my mind to exit the film. But it was the producer who apologised first, even before Sajid did,” she added.

Chakravarthy picked a total of three complete all-rounders in his team. To begin with, he named compatriot Hardik Pandya in the side. Hardik was followed by Varun’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammates Andre Russell and Sunil Narine.

There was space for only one pure spinner in Varun’s team, and that was Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan. In the pace-bowling department, Varun went with Jasprit Bumrah and Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana.

Varun Chakravarthy’s Dream T20 XI: Jos Buttler, Travis Head, Suryakumar Yadav, Nicholas Pooran, Heinrich Klaasen, Hardik Pandya, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Rashid Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, and Matheesha Pathirana

In a candid conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin, India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy was asked to pick an all-time XI, naming only those players who have played with. Varun, who is a product of T20 cricket, having crafted his art in the Indian Premier League (IPL), picked some of the most renowned names in world cricket after being given the question by Ashwin. However, only three Indian players make the cut in his XI, with stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being snubbed. The only condition Ashwin set was that Varun has to pick the players he has played with.

Varun started with the opening pairing of Jos Buttler and Travis Head. The two are unarguably among the most devastating openers in world cricket when it comes to the shortest format. However, the likes of Rohit and Virat have also done wonders as openers in the T20 format. Yet, there was no place for either of them in Chakravarthy’s team.

At No. 3, the mystery spinner went with Suryakumar Yadav, the current skipper of India’s T20 team. For many, Surya is the No. 1 batter in the shortest format at present. Following him was Nicholas Pooran, the other candidate for the No. 1 spot in the list of batters in the 20-over format. South Africa and Sunrisers Hyderabad star Heinrich Klaasen took the No. 5 spot in the team, coming in as a wicket-keeper batter.

Fast bowlers and javelin throwers both require a strong, steady run-up to build momentum. Good speed and timing are extremely important, so are powerful legs, core and shoulders for an explosive finish.

Bumrah is currently the top-ranked Test bowler in the world and a massive part of India’s pace attack. In the recent Leeds Test against England, he took a five-wicket haul in the first innings and went wicketless while defending 371 runs for the team.

On the other hand, Chopra reclaimed his number one spot in men’s javelin throw world rankings from Anderson Peters of Grenada following a string of brilliant performances on the international stage.

World Athletics updated the rankings earlier this week, increasing Neeraj’s points to 1,445 compared to Peters’ tally of 1,431, according to Olympics.com. Also, Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem sits at number four with 1,370 points to his name.

Neeraj lost his top spot to Peters back in September 2024, just shortly after the Paris Olympics, where he attained a silver medal with a throw of 89.45, and Peters took home the bronze.
