Murshidabad Violence: Court Orders Forces to Restore Peace
The Calcutta High Court has asked for Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) to be sent to Murshidabad district in West Bengal. This action comes after violence erupted, which some say is linked to protests against a new law called the Waqf (Amendment) Act. Tragically, two people were killed and over 100 others were arrested.
A group of judges, led by Justice Soumen Sen, decided to send the CAPF to help restore calm in affected areas of Murshidabad. They instructed both the state and national governments to provide detailed reports regarding the situation. The next court hearing is set for April 17.
The special court was formed quickly to address a request by Suvendu Adhikari, who leads the opposition in the West Bengal Assembly. He wanted central forces to control the unrest in the district. Seven groups of Border Security Force (BSF) were sent to places like Suti, Dhuliyan, and Samserganj, which were the worst hit. However, Adhikari’s lawyer claimed that the BSF was not being used effectively to manage the chaos.
The violence reportedly started due to protests against the Waqf Bill. Sadly, two victims—a father and his son—were found in their home in Jafrabad with fatal stab wounds. They were taken to the hospital but were pronounced dead. Family members believe that robbers harmed them before escaping. Investigators are currently looking for those responsible.
In a different incident on the same day, another person was shot and injured in Dhulian. Police have been patrolling and checking areas to keep the peace. So far, 118 people have been arrested due to the protests. This number might go up since clashes have led to injuries, including 15 police officers.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill was introduced and passed in Parliament earlier this month and became law after the President approved it on April 5. While some groups are protesting against this law, the BJP party has started a campaign to share the benefits of the Waqf Act with the Muslim community, which will run from April 20 to May 5. -
Karnataka Renames Tumkur Railway Station to Honor Shivakumara Swamiji
The Karnataka government has decided to rename the Tumkur Railway Station, which has the code ‘TK’, to Dr. Shri Shri Shivakumara Swamiji Railway Station. This station is part of the South Western Railway zone in India.
In a letter sent on April 8, the Karnataka government asked the Ministry of Home Affairs to approve this name change quickly. The letter explained that the Sri Siddaganga Mutt is very important to people in the state, as it has been helping those in need by providing food, shelter, and education for many years.
Padmabhushan Dr. Shri Shri Shivakumara Mahaswamiji led the Mutt starting in 1930 and served the community for almost 87 years. Many people, including Presidents and Prime Ministers, have visited the Mutt and praised the great work done by Mahaswamiji.
The Karnataka government hopes the Ministry of Home Affairs will support their proposal to rename the Tumkur Railway Station to honor this influential leader as soon as possible. -
YouTubers Jaspreet Singh and Others Questioned by Assam Police for Obscenity
Popular YouTuber Jaspreet Singh visited the Assam Police on Saturday because he, along with four others, is being investigated for promoting inappropriate content during a publicly shown online show. An officer stated that Singh was questioned by the investigating officer from the Guwahati Police’s Crime Branch in the afternoon, and his statement was recorded.
Another YouTuber, Samay Raina, had previously appeared for questioning on April 5. The only one left to be questioned is Apoorva Makhija. The police had sent messages to Singh and Makhija after they emailed saying they were out of the country, asking them to come in for questioning.
The Guwahati Police has accused Raina, Singh, popular influencer Ranveer Allahabadia, and Ashish Chanchlani, among others, of sharing obscene and vulgar discussions on an online show. They claim this could harm public decency and morality.
The crime branch registered the case under several laws, including those related to obscenity and the protection of women. Ranveer Allahabadia appeared before the police on March 7 and was questioned for more than four hours. He promised to cooperate with future inquiries, including coming back to Guwahati. A top court granted him safety from arrest but called his comments “vulgar.”
Ashish Chanchlani was the first to be questioned, appearing on February 27, and he received pre-arrest bail earlier in February. Besides these five YouTubers, the owner of the location where the controversial show was filmed is also involved in the case. -
Stalin Claims AIADMK-BJP Alliance is Doomed to Fail in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, MK Stalin, criticized the recent partnership between AIADMK and BJP for the upcoming 2026 assembly elections. He believes this alliance is “doomed to fail” and is based only on their “hunger for power,” without any real ideas or beliefs behind it.
After being apart for nearly two years, AIADMK and BJP announced their reunion, with Amit Shah saying that Edappadi K Palaniswami will lead them in the election. Shah also accused the ruling DMK of distracting people from important issues.
Stalin, however, disagrees and called AIADMK an “old bonded slave camp,” suggesting that they have lost their independence to BJP. He believes that BJP’s plans would harm Tamil Nadu’s rights and its language, Tamil.
Stalin warned that whether BJP runs alone or with partners, the people of Tamil Nadu are prepared to teach them a lesson for betraying Tamil Nadu’s interests. He pointed out that Amit Shah did not explain why the alliance was formed or how it would help the people, merely saying that a “Common Minimum Programme” would be created.
Stalin emphasized that this AIADMK-BJP partnership goes against the values important to Tamil culture, like language and local rights. He accused Palaniswami of giving up the state’s pride just to stay in power and suggested that corruption is at the heart of their alliance.

Violence Erupts Over Waqf Act Protests in West Bengal
There has been violence in Murshidabad district, West Bengal, with two people reported dead. The trouble started during protests against the Waqf Act, which deals with the management of religious endowments for Muslims.
The protests began on Friday and quickly turned violent. Demonstrators set fire to vehicles and blocked roads and railways. Some police officers were injured while trying to keep the situation under control. Despite a ban on gatherings, many people gathered after Friday prayers to protest, leading to clashes with police.
West Bengal’s Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, said her government will not enforce this law in the state and that people should direct their complaints to the central government, which created the law. She emphasized that the violence was unnecessary since her government does not support the Waqf Act.
In response to the unrest, police arrested 118 individuals. On Saturday, fresh riots occurred, leading to injuries, including a person shot. The BJP, the opposition party, criticized the state government for not handling the situation properly, promising that if they were in power, they would quickly put an end to such violence.

Review: Is Emmanuelle a Missed Opportunity in Modern Cinema?
Movie Review: Emmanuelle
Cast: Noémie Merlant, Naomi Watts, Will Sharpe
Director: Audrey Diwan
Star Rating: ★★
After the success of her powerful film Happening, expectations were high for Audrey Diwan’s new movie, Emmanuelle. Unfortunately, this update of a classic erotic novel feels empty and lacks excitement.
The story follows Noémie Merlant as a hotel inspector who is curious about what happens behind the scenes at a fancy hotel. She wants to learn more about the hotel manager, Margot (Naomi Watts), and a mysterious guest named Kei (Will Sharpe), who acts strangely and talks in confusing ways.
While the film aims to explore female sexuality, it plays it too safe. Emmanuelle has no backstory, and we don’t really understand what she wants. Merlant looks stunning, but her character feels flat and confused. Naomi Watts doesn’t get to shine in her limited role, and Will Sharpe’s character is poorly written.
The screenplay by Diwan and Rebecca Zlotowski lacks depth and focuses more on the hotel’s luxury than on Emmanuelle’s development. The lines are often confusing and don’t reflect the high-class setting well.
Emmanuelle struggles with its identity. It tries to be modern but misses the mark on what autonomy and desire really mean for a woman. The film is filled with lavish hotel scenes and beautiful food but lacks emotional weight and excitement in its sex scenes.
Overall, Emmanuelle feels aimless and doesn’t engage the audience. It’s stylish but lacks substance to keep viewers invested.
Emmanuelle is available to stream on Thellv.news -
Why Pakistan Cricket Fails to Chase Big Targets: Babar and Rizwan’s Response
During a press conference before the 10th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), top players Babar Azam and captain Mohammad Rizwan were asked a tricky question about Pakistan’s struggles to chase down targets over 200 runs in T20 matches. When a journalist asked Babar why the team keeps falling short, he didn’t have a clear answer and passed the question to Rizwan, who also stayed quiet. The awkward moment lasted until fast bowler Shaheen Afridi stepped in to speak.
Shaheen explained, “This is our team; it’s Pakistan’s team. Chasing 200 runs isn’t just on the batsmen; the bowlers also need to do their part to not let the other team score so many runs. The pitches are good for batting. Even if we are behind and need to chase 200, we should try our very best. If we have to defend those scores, that’s our job too. We are all in this together. If we haven’t been performing well recently, it’s up to us to bring Pakistan cricket back to its best.”
Pakistan’s cricket team has been under a lot of stress lately, especially after being knocked out early in the home Champions Trophy, with losses to India and New Zealand. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is now trying to rebuild the team for the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup and 2027 ODI World Cup.
Things haven’t gone smoothly; in a recent series against New Zealand, the T20 team, made up of seasoned players and newcomers, lost 4-1. When Babar and Rizwan returned for the ODI matches, fans had high hopes, but they were disappointed when the team lost 3-0 against New Zealand.

CSK’s Struggles: Tiwary Critiques Dhoni and Ashwin After Fifth Loss
Manoj Tiwary criticized Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for their plans against Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Sunil Narine. In a recent match, Narine hit Ashwin hard, scoring 44 runs off just 18 balls, even though CSK struggled to reach 103 runs, their lowest score ever at home. Ashwin, who cost CSK INR 9.75 crore, has not performed well, allowing too many runs and taking only five wickets with a high economy rate.
Tiwary pointed out that Ashwin’s strategy against Narine was poor. He said, “Why don’t they rethink their plans? Ashwin bowled differently today than before, making it too easy for Narine. With someone as experienced as Dhoni behind the stumps, I’m surprised they didn’t come up with a better plan.”
KKR chased down the small target in just 10.1 overs, with Narine hitting five sixes. CSK now faces tough times as this was their fifth loss in a row. Tiwary also expressed that if CSK doesn’t change its approach, things will only get worse, mentioning that their Purple Cap winner, Noor Ahmad, didn’t bowl until the eighth over, despite taking a wicket on his first ball.
