In a viral video, India batter Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were spotted in Vrindavan to seek blessings from Radhavallaj Lal Ji. The couple seems to be on a spiritual journey as the latest video comes days after Kohli and Anushka visited Premanandji Maharaj in Vrindavan. Kohli returned home last week after the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he scored just 190 runs across six innings. Kohli and Anushka often visit spiritual leaders to seek blessings, whether it is India or the UK.

Three men spot a bleeding man in the dead of night in Delhi. Rather than helping him, they see an opportunity in his suffering and steal his motorbike, leaving him alone on the road, to die. But then Karma boomerangs on them. On January 11, Vikas was riding his motorbike on the Mehrauli-Gurugram road when it skidded and dragged for a few metres near Ghitorni in southwest Delhi around 3 am. Thereafter, Uday Kumar, Tinku and Parambir - residents of Fatehpur Beri - crossed the area. They saw the injured man lying on the road but instead of helping, they stole his bike and fled. Vikas bled to death. In a turn of fate, however, the three men also met with an accident shortly after. Uday Kumar is currently in a coma while Tinku and Parambir are injured but stable. The men are drug addicts, said police. The CCTV cameras installed near the accident site have been seized by the police and a probe is underway. The case brings back memories of a similar incident in 2023 when a 30-year-old doc...

Anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq resigned from the UK government Tuesday after being named in graft probes in Bangladesh launched when her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, was ousted as the country's leader. In a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Siddiq repeated she had done nothing wrong but said continuing in office would likely "be a distraction from the work of the government". Siddiq, 42, has been dogged by claims about her links to Hasina, who fled Bangladesh in August after a student-led uprising against her decades-long, increasingly authoritarian tenure as prime minister. Hasina, 77, has defied extradition requests to face Bangladeshi charges including of mass murder. On Monday, Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission announced she and family members, including Siddiq, were subject to another graft probe, this time over an alleged land grab of lucrative plots in a suburb of the capital Dhaka. Family members including Siddiq had already emerged as named tar...

Do you usually wait for appraisal season to request a pay raise? It might be time to reconsider that strategy. According to career coach Melody Wilding, who has worked with professionals at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, the performance review isn't when decisions about promotions or raises are made-it's when they're announced.   In an interview with CNBC Make It , Wilding estimated that by the time review discussions take place, about 85% of promotion decisions have already been finalised.  "I call this the 'performance review paradox'," she said. "While you're focused on nailing that one big conversation, the real groundwork for your advancement is being laid in hundreds of small moments throughout the year." To help professionals secure the raises and promotions they deserve, Wilding shared three actionable tips based on her extensive experience coaching high-achieving clients. Practice Pre-Suasion : Subtly shape the perceptions and at...

A 45-year-old psychologist was arrested in Nagpur for allegedly blackmailing and sexually exploiting at least 50 of his students over the past 15 years, a police official said on Monday. The accused, who operated a clinic and residential program in east Nagpur, faces charges under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the Hudkeshwar police station official said. "The psychologist allegedly lured students, particularly girls, with promises of personal and professional development. He organized trips and camps where he would sexually abuse them, take explicit photos, and later use these to blackmail them. The incident came to light after a former student, who was being blackmailed by the accused, approached the police," he said. Several victims are married and may be hesitant to approach police to file complaints, the official added. Police have formed a special committee to assi...

BJP rushed to placate the outgoing MLA from Karawal Nagar after the ticket from his current seat was given to Kapil Mishra. Mohan Singh Bisht was then given a ticket from Mustafabad in the third list of candidates released on Sunday, ahead of the February 5 Delhi Assembly election. Mr Bisht, who has won all except one assembly election from Karawal Nagar since 1998, had earlier said, "The BJP thinks they will field anyone and he will win. This is a big mistake. You have challenged the 'samaj' (his Uttarakhandi community), not Mohan Singh Bisht. The BJP will lose at least 8-10 seats because of this decision, including Karawal Nagar, Burari, Mustafabad and Gokalpuri." Later, Mr Bisht expressed confidence that he would win the Mustafabad seat for the BJP. "I met the national president and things were ironed out. I have assured that I will contest from Mustafabad and win the seat for the party," Bisht told PTI. The MLA said he and the BJP had considerable supp...
