Days after a top school in Delhi received a bomb threat, police have said that it was a hoax mail sent by one of its students. Police said that the threat mail was sent to Mathura Road's 'Delhi Public School' (DPS) by a 16-year-old student who "just wanted to have fun." The student, during a counselling session, told police that he planned the prank "just for fun", and that he got the idea after a hoax threat was received at 'The Indian School' in Delhi's Sadiq Nagar. On Wednesday, the school had received a threat mail claiming that a bomb had been planted on its premises, following which police had evacuated and sanitised the school. However, no suspicious object was found at the school during the police search. Police during its investigation found that the email id from which the mail was received was linked to the minor student. "Being a minor, the student was neither detained, nor questioned. We have counselled him," offi...

They say there is ''No love like a dog's love.'' Exemplifying the same, a golden retriever, whose owners were forced to give him up, escaped his new home and embarked on a 40-mile journey back to his former address. According to a Metro report, the dog named Cooper leapt out of the car soon after arriving at his new home in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It then vanished for almost a month and covered an estimated 40 miles (64km) to Tobermore, County Londonderry, back to its original owners. Missing pets charity Lost Paws NI said they received a tip-off on April 22 that the canine had been seen in a number of fields and hanging around by properties. Five days later, another caller reported seeing Cooper running towards his old house. They said the dog walked alone through back woods and along main roads, moving mostly at night, without any help from humans. A spokesperson for Lost Paws NI, said, ''Cooper is a clever boy. Instinct took him back to...

Punjab Kings pulled off a thrilling chase of 201 against Chennai Super Kings and registered their fifth win of IPL 2023 on Sunday. Asked to bowl first, PBKS conceded 200/4 in 20 overs, courtesy of the unbeaten 92-run knock from Devon Conway . Later, the Shikhar Dhawan -led side struggled a bit but eventually found their way out after Sikandar Raza smashed the winning three runs on the last ball of the match. Apart from such a thrilling encounter, one thing which grabbed a lot of attention was a cheeky stumping CSK skipper MS Dhoni to dismiss Prabhsimran Singh. In the 9th over of PBKS' chase, Prabhsimran completely failed to judge Ravindra Jadeja 's delivery as he went way out of the crease. Dhoni, who was standing behind the stumps, got the ball and comfortably stumped him out. But before dislodging the bails, the CSK skipper teased Prabhsimran a bit and before disturbing the stumps, sending him packing for a score of 42. Dhoni's terrific stumping left the fans awestruc...

It's true tigers are apex predators but even they don't like to mess with elephants. A video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shows a tiger making way for a herd of elephants in a jungle. The video shows a group of elephants walking down a forest path, as soon as the tiger spots the elephants, the big cat sits down and waits for the herd to pass. The herd advances slowly, catching sight of the big cat but seemingly unconcerned about it. Along with the video, the caption reads, "This is how animals communicate & maintain harmony... Elephant trumpets on smelling the tiger. The king gives way to the titan herd." Watch the video here: This is how animals communicate & maintain harmony… Elephant trumpets on smelling the tiger.

A few days ago, there were several reports that a Canadian actor who underwent 12 plastic surgeries to resemble BTS's Jimin died in a hospital in Korea. The news was first reported by the British news media outlet Daily Mail and then picked up by a number of national and international websites. However, it now turns out that the news was a hoax and there was no confirmation of the passing of a Canadian actor in South Korea, Variety reported. In fact, the actor, identified as Saint Von Colucci, may have never existed in the first place. Furthermore, his alleged publicist, Eric Blake, is nowhere to be found on social media or the web. The news was sourced from two press releases that were sent directly to journalists and media outlets by a group called The Hype Company PR. Journalists received these releases in their inboxes through a bot called Nylas. The releases made several claims about the actor being discriminated against for his looks in Korea.  H...

Harry Brook may not have contributed much with the bat but the England international stunned everyone including the batter Mitchell Marsh with his stunning fielding effort during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Marsh slammed a delivery hard during the 10 th over of the DC innings and it felt like the ball will clear the boundary easily. However, Brook had other plans as he caught it in one hand and was able to throw it back just in time to save the boundary. There was a moment when fans thought that he will be able to complete the catch but he slipped slightly and the ball was just out of his reach. What a sensational effort at the boundary line by Harry Brook. Even Mitch Marsh applauded the effort. pic.twitter.com/AQzdfsiQVk — Rahul Sharma (@CricFnatic) April 29, 2023 Marsh was taken aback by the effort and even he applauded Brook for his athleticism.

The United States called on China Saturday to stop "provocative and unsafe conduct" in the disputed South China Sea after a recent near-collision with a Philippines coast guard boat there, ramping up rhetoric ahead of a visit by the Filipino president to the White House. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, in a statement two days before President Joe Biden is to host his Philippine counterpart Ferdinand Marcos Jr., said the incident was a reminder of China's "harassment and intimidation" of Philippine vessels in the contested waterway. "We call upon Beijing to desist from its provocative and unsafe conduct," he said, adding that any attack on Philippine armed forces would trigger a US response. Joe Biden has been working to bolster relations with Asian allies as the US-Chinese relationship remains in a historically deep chill, and the Philippines' proximity to key sea lanes and Taiwan gives it particular strategic importance. The near-mi...

Almost a year after stating that Elon Musk is the "singular solution" he trusts to run Twitter, Jack Dorsey seems to have changed his stance on Mr Musk's leadership of the microblogging website. On Friday, the former CEO of Twitter issued his sharpest criticism yet of Mr Musk's leadership of Twitter, saying that the tech billionaire has not proved to be the platform's ideal steward and should have walked away from buying the site.  Mr Dorsey criticised Mr Musk in a series of reply posts on the social network Bluesky, a potential Twitter rival that Mr Dorsey helped to start. According to The  Washinton Post , he responded to a question from a Bluesky user regarding whether he felt that Mr Musk proved the "best possible steward".  "No. Nor do I think he acted right after realizing his timing was bad. Nor do I think the board should have forced the sale. It all went south. But it happened and all we can do now is build something to avoid that ever ha...

MS Dhoni is well known as ‘Captain Cool' because of his calm demeanour on the field and his ability to be patient in the toughest of situations. As a result, it came as a surprise when he lost his temper and yelled at Chennai Super Kings teammate Matheesha Pathirana during their match against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. During the 16 th over of the RR innings, Dhoni had the chance to run Shimron Hetmyer out from behind the stumps but he was not able to complete the throw as Pathirana was standing in front in his way. The CSK captain was extremely angry with the youngster and he went on to yell at the pacer for missing out on the opportunity.

The revival of veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane in T20 cricket has been a surprise to many. Bought by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for his base price of INR 50 lakh, Rahane has done wonders with the bat for the franchise, emerging as one of the top run-getters in the competition. His heroics with the bat also seems to have played a role in his return to the national team for the ICC World Test Championship final. While Rahane has been the talk of the two for a few weeks now, former India batter Pravin Amre revealed that even MS Dhoni has been talking about the technique that the veteran India star has shown this campaign. "We just reminded him how he came into the international arena through T20 (39-ball 61 at Old Trafford, in August 2011). It's a coincidence that his T20 performance has helped him make a comeback. Hard work always pays, when he was dropped nobody thought he will come back. He had a very good Ranji season, and got a double hundred. We are seeing the new version ...

MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings would not have been wrong had someone told them that the four-time IPL champions were playing a home match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Fans turned up in huge numbers to show their 'yellove' for CSK and Dhoni. And the legend gave them several occasions to cheer. Apart from masterminding the CSK attack, Dhoni also affected a brilliant runout with a singular effort. It came on the fourth ball of the last over of RR's innings as Dhoni ran out Dhruv Jurel . After Matheesha Pathirana bowled a wide delivery, Dhoni dived to his right to collect the ball and affected the run-out with an accurate throw.  Watch: Lightning-Fast MS Dhoni Affects Classy Run Out OF RR Star  Don't be in doubt when Dhoni do a Run out #CSKvRR #MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/nemrafQgdC — Vishal (@Fans4AlexZverev) April 27, 2023 Ms Dhoni and his run out skills behind the wicket Has difrent fanbase #IPL2023 #MSDhoni #RRvCSK pic.twitter.com/1eSRytVdOI — ADA S...

A 55-year-old property dealer here in south Delhi's Neb Sarai area allegedly hacked his wife to death with an axe and tried to kill his two children, injuring them both in the neck, police said on Thursday. Vijay Veer, the accused, often used to have a row with his 50-year-old wife over dowry, and after one such fight Thursday, he attacked her with an axe while she was asleep, they said. According to police, another reason for frequent fights between the couple was Veer's extramarital affairs and his wife's confronting him about it. He also didn't like the fact that his wife was supported by their son and daughter, both aged 28 and 30, a senior police officer said. The matter was reported Thursday around 6.30am by the daughter, a law graduate, who said her mother was attacked with an axe by her father. When police reached the spot, they found Suman, the wife, lying on the bed in a pool of blood with multiple cuts to her neck and Vijay Veer there with an injured han...

A special CBI court in Mumbai is likely to announce its verdict today in the suicide case of actor Jiah Khan, who was found dead in her suburban home on June 3, 2013. Actor Suraj Pancholi, son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, is accused of abetting the suicide of Khan. Suraj Pancholi was charged on the basis of a 6-page letter purportedly written by Khan, who was found hanging in her Juhu home. As per the Central Bureau of Investigation, the letter, which was seized by Mumbai police that began its probe on June 10, 2013, was written by Jiah Khan. The CBI claimed the note narrated her "intimate relationship, physical abuse and mental and physical torture" allegedly at the hands of Pancholi, which led to her committing suicide. The case was reassigned to a special CBI court in 2021 after the sessions court said it did not have the jurisdiction over the case as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had probed it. Special CBI Judge AS Sayyad, after hearing th...

An Australian woman has been charged with fraud after she used the identity of a dead pilot in order to avoid a traffic fine, the Independent reported. 33-year-old Stephanie Louise Bennett pleaded guilty to using Sea World pilot Ash Jenkinson's identity after she was caught using her mobile phone behind the wheel last year in December.

Former India star Harbhajan Singh has presumably taken a dig at the batting of Indian Premier League side Delhi Capitals post its poor show against SunRisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. In the game, DC lost the first five wickets at the score of 62 before Axar Patel and Manish Pandey saved their blushes by helping them post a fighting total of 144 for 9 on the board. Both the batters scored 34 runs each as they added 69 runs for the sixth wicket. While analysing the side's performance after the game, Harbhajan criticised the batting unit of Delhi. He added that the side should also rope in retired cricketer and their assistant coach, Shane Watson , in the team. "I'm saying that DC should also play Shane Watson, he is a solid player. He has recently retired, and the way with which DC's opening is going these days, he will be of use, and a better choice as well," Harbhajan said in Hindi on his YouTube channel . Talking about the m...

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday mocked his predecessor Vasundhara Raje after she rejected allegations of collusion with him. BJP leader Ms Raje last week rejected allegations of collusion with Mr Gehlot as a lie and said milk and lemon juice do not go together. Speaking to reporters during his visit to Bikaner, Ashok Gehlot said his government did not stop schemes of the previous BJP regime and even carried forward its Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project. "We do not stop their schemes but our (previous Congress regime) schemes were stopped by the former government (BJP dispensation) and this is the difference between 'milk' and 'lemon'," Mr Gehlot said. The senior Congress leader also highlighted the state government's various works, schemes and programmes and exuded confidence of the Congress returning to power in the assembly elections, due later this year. Ms Raje last week said a lie was being spread as part of a conspiracy. "...

Surpassing China as the world's most populous country, as indicated in the UNFPA State of World Population report, India's demographic composition, with a staggering 65% working-age population, embodies an unparalleled reservoir of human capital. This dynamic workforce has the potential to propel the nation towards remarkable socio-economic progress and has the ability for transformative global impact. Seizing this demographic dividend is critical for India to elevate its position on the world stage and significantly enrich the knowledge economy. John Steinbeck's classic novel, "The Pearl," serves as an allegory for India's imperative to capitalize on its demographic advantage. The protagonist, Kino, discovers an extraordinary pearl, yet his inability to harness its value culminates in devastating consequences. Similarly, India must recognize the magnitude of its human resource potential and proactively invest in it to avoid squandering this generational oppo...
