Welcome to Booth 91, the spot where you can catch up on the most talked‑about stories across India in just a few minutes. Whether you’re curious about a court ruling, a sudden flood warning, a hot IPL match, or the latest celebrity buzz, we’ve gathered the headlines that matter right here.
One of the biggest stories this week comes from the Delhi High Court. The court denied bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and seven others in the 2020 Delhi riots case under the UAPA Act. The judges emphasized that violent acts masquerading as protest are not protected speech. Sharjeel Imam has now taken his plea to the Supreme Court, hoping for a different outcome. If you follow legal developments, this case is a clear reminder of how the judiciary balances freedom of expression with public safety.
Monsoon madness continues across North India. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red alerts for Punjab, Delhi‑NCR and Uttar Pradesh after relentless rain caused severe waterlogging, especially along the Haryana‑Delhi border. The Yamuna rose to 207.44 metres, nearly matching its 1978 peak, which delayed flights at IGI Airport and forced road diversions on the Outer Ring Road. A similar cloudburst hit Chamoli’s Tharali in Uttarakhand, prompting a 24‑hour dangerous rain warning. Stay prepared: keep an eye on local alerts, keep your mobile charged, and avoid low‑lying routes if you can.
Meanwhile, Bihar’s rivers have surged, affecting over 25 lakh people. The state government mobilised NDRF teams, boats and community kitchens to support displaced families. In Jammu & Kashmir, the IMD predicts above‑average September rain with flash‑flood and landslide risks, especially on mountain highways. If you’re travelling this month, pack extra clothing and consider alternate routes.
On the sports front, IPL 2025 is heating up. KKR faces PBKS at Eden Gardens, with a batting‑friendly pitch and evening dew that could sway the toss. Keep an eye on the spin battle—Chahal, Narine and Russell are set to make a difference. In international cricket, Cooper Connolly made headlines with a five‑for against South Africa, becoming the youngest Australian spinner to achieve that feat.
Entertainment lovers haven’t been left out. Tiger Shroff’s “Baaghi 4” trailer dropped with a darker, more violent tone, and Sanjay Dutt plays the intimidating villain. Over at the Maha Kumbh Mela, singer Guru Randhawa performed a sacred dip at Triveni Sangam, sharing the experience with fans on Instagram. And the Hollywood star Venus Williams, at 45, earned a wild‑card for the Cincinnati Open, aiming for a wildcard entry to the US Open.
Business news also makes the cut. Patel Retail’s IPO saw a massive 95.7x subscription, with a final issue price of ₹255 per share. For car buyers, Toyota is offering up to ₹1.48 lakh off the Urban Cruiser Hyryder this August, especially on hybrid variants. If you’re eyeing a new ride, check local dealer offers before they run out.
