In a significant development in the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case, the Supreme Court on Friday upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to revoke the CBI's lookout circular issued against Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty and her family. The bench openly criticised the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Maharashtra government, and the Bureau of Immigration for questioning the Bombay High Court's ruling simply because the accused held high-profile status. Justices B.R. Gavai and KV Viswanathan, who were hearing the matter, openly condemned the petition as "frivolous" and issued a stern warning against the investigation agencies. Dig deeper.

He was the first one to admit his big mistake in reading the pitch and conditions in the first Test in Bengaluru, which resulted in India getting bowled out for their lowest total at home and eventually losing for the first time to New Zealand in 36 years. Things only got worse in the second Test.

Earlier this week, actor Ram Charan was spotted at an RTO office in Hyderabad registering his Rolls-Royce Spectre.

They have said that Mukesh Menaria, the man she was accused of kidnapping, is a former employee of the family who has been found alive and well in Tanzania. Dig deeper.
