Six women had a miraculous escape after they slipped into the sudden gush of water at the Languriya hill waterfall in Bihar’s Gaya district. The video of the incident that took place on Sunday was captured on camera and has since gone viral on social media, serving as a stark reminder of the dangers near water bodies.

The nearly two-minute clip shows the six women stranded in the middle of the waterfall as water gushed around them. Initially, one woman was saved by crossing a rock. Trying to do the same, three women attempted to cross a rock but were swept into the water. They were, however, pulled up by the villagers – while they were just a few meters away from what looked like a big drop. In the meantime, the fifth woman was rescued from the other side of the waterfall.

Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase ‘CAPTAIN COOL’, a sobriquet widely associated with his calm on-field demeanour. According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application’s status is ‘accepted and advertised’. It was published in the official trademark journal on June 16. The application was filed on June 5. The proposed trademark is registered under the category for sports training, providing sports training facilities, sports coaching and services.

Interestingly, another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd, had earlier filed a similar application for the phrase. However, that application’s status is showing as ‘rectification filed’.

Earlier this month, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC’s Hall of Fame for the year 2025 along with seven cricketers, including Australian great Matthew Hayden and South Africa’s Hashim Amla.

The ICC hailed Dhoni as a player who excelled not just in numbers but also in “extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity”.

“Celebrated for his calm under pressure and unmatched tactical nous, but also a trailblazer in the shorter formats, MS Dhoni’s legacy as one of the game’s greatest finishers, leaders and wicketkeepers has been honoured with his induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame,” the ICC statement had said. 

Fresh allegations have been pointed towards Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCHighlights Missing B) pacer Yash Dayal. A woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh had recently accused the 27-year-old of exploitation under the promise of marriage, and has now put further accusations at the cricketer. The woman, who earlier accused Dayal of emotional, mental and physical exploitation, has now stated that he had multiple affairs during their four-and-a-half years together, and accused him of using money, fame and power to cover-up the case. The woman also revealed that she has been in touch with another women who has also claimed to have been cheated on by Dayal.

“I stayed at Yash Dayal’s house for 15 days. He even took me on a trip to Ooty. I have been at his home many times, and have spent time with his family. Yash Dayal and his family kept raising hopes by giving assurance of marriage,” the woman from Ghaziabad alleged, in a report by Dainik Bhaskar.

“Yash Dayal has made attempts to manipulate the case with money, but I have full faith in the law. The police have said that Yash Dayal has been sent a notice,” said the woman, accusing the pacer of covering up the case using power, fame and money.

The woman has stated that her doubts about Dayal having affairs with other women were confirmed when she was reached out to by another woman on April 17, 2025, who had reportedly also provided proof of Dayal cheating and speaking to multiple other women.

The Ghaziabad-based woman also stated that she is aware of Dayal having affairs with at least three other women.

“I could have walked away, but how would I know he was cheating? He never showed it. I left it to God, but when his family started speaking badly about me, I decided to take legal steps,” the woman said, as per the report.

“I had left him to God’s mercy, but after that Yash Dayal and his family spoke very badly. There is a thing called self-respect in love, which girls lose.

“I am also fighting for the little girl with whom Yash Dayal did wrong. Yash Dayal is hiding, let him stay hidden. This is what his family and he have done,” she added.

When it comes to cricket, Dayal won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), whilst he was also part of the India Test team in 2024.

Indian Test opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will continue to play for domestic giants Mumbai after the state cricket body on Monday approved the withdrawal of his earlier request for a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

On Monday, the apex council of the MCA approved Jaiswal’s request to withdraw the NOC. “The Apex Council has approved the withdrawal of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) that had been earlier requested by Yashasvi Jaiswal to represent another state. He will continue to be available for Mumbai,” the MCA said.

Controversial Telangana leader T Raja Singh, who has often made headlines for hate speech and communally-charged remarks, has resigned from the BJP. In his resignation letter addressed to Union Minister and state BJP chief G Kishan Reddy, the Goshamahal MLA has lodged a strong protest after several reports claimed that the BJP had chosen N Ramchander Rao as the next state boss.

He has also led the party’s Hyderabad unit in the past. An IANS report has said that BJP’s central leadership had cleared his name and no other leader is likely to enter the race. He may be elected unanimously tomorrow.

Tej Pratap Yadav today met Anushka Yadav, the woman whose viral photo with him led his father Lalu Prasad Yadav to snap all family and political ties with him.

“We have family relations, so I have come here. No one can stop me from going anywhere. I am in contact with everyone,” he said after a nearly 5-hour meeting with Ms Yadav.

A photo of the two was shared on Tej Pratap’s Facebook account last month, claiming they had been in a relationship for 12 years. The photo was later deleted, and the former minister of Bihar claimed his account was “hacked” and the photo was posted without his knowledge. The damage, however, was done.

The BJP on Monday moved towards rolling out the exercise to have a new national president as the party elected chiefs in some states and is set to announce more on Tuesday that will put the requisite number of state heads at the helm for it to pick the replacement of J P Nadda.

The BJP’s constitution requires the election of its presidents in at least 19 out of its 37 organisational states before the process to elect its national president begins, and the ruling party is set to cross the threshold on Tuesday.

V P Ramalingam and K Beichhua were elected BJP presidents of Puducherry and Mizoram respectively on Monday, while single nomination for the post was filed in states like Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, making their election a mere formality on Tuesday.

The BJP has now new state presidents, including some who were reelected, in 16 states, a figure that will rise on Tuesday. Some big states like Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh may also follow in the next few days.

The death of ‘Kaanta Laga’ fame Shefali Jariwala, who reportedly died due to a cardiac arrest last week, has once again put a spotlight on the rising cases of heart attacks in adults in India. The disturbing increase of cardiovascular diseases in even those people who keep themselves seemingly fit, is a cause of concern – and triggers a question: are fitness therapies and workouts enough?

Dr Dhirendra Singhania, Principal Consultant of Interventional Cardiology at Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals in Kaushambi, spoke exclusively to NDTV on the issue, saying the major causes of risk in heart attacks are: steroids, lack of sleep, and hormonal therapies (especially for women).

“Everyone, whether a celebrity or a common man, if they are not following the rules of the body, they will have problems. In celebrities, they all try to maintain their body for fit appearances. Many times, we don’t know what they do to achieve that. Lack of sleep has been known as a cardiac risk factor – many celebrities are awake for almost the whole night at times,” he said.

Dr Singhania added, “Steroids, drug overdoses, and hormonal therapies for women, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT for menopause) and oral contraceptives, can contribute to heart attack risk.”

Additionally, the cardiologist said stress and social media addiction contribute to increased blood pressure and cortisol levels – which eventually lead to cardiovascular diseases.

“Monojit dada is in our hearts (Team MM)” reads a wall graffiti inside the Kolkata law college that has made headlines for a student’s rape on campus. “Monojit dada” here is Monojit Mishra, prime accused in the rape case and an alumnus who wielded huge influence on the campus even after he graduated.

According to Monojit’s profile, he has led the college unit of Trinamool College Chhatra Parishad, the student wing of the ruling party in West Bengal, since 2017. Amid nationwide outrage over the rape case, the Trinamool has claimed he has no links with the party and must face the strictest punishment.

Students of the college say Monojit, called “Mango” by friends, wielded massive clout on campus, to the extent that even teachers and office staff feared him. According to reports, multiple complaints of harassment and molestation had been registered against him in the past, but no action was taken.

The Trump administration said a US investigation found that Harvard University violated civil rights law in its treatment of Jewish and Israeli students, further endangering federal funding for the school.

“Harvard has been in some cases deliberately indifferent, and in others has been a willful participant in antisemitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff,” the government said in a letter Monday to the university’s president, Alan Garber. “Failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources.”

The finding ramps up pressure on the oldest and richest US university less than two weeks after President Donald Trump said he was nearing a deal with the school following months of attacking it. His administration has scrapped more than $2.6 billion in federal research funding for Harvard, threatened the school’s tax-exempt status and sought to prevent it from enrolling foreign students.

Harvard Dragged Deeper Into Trump’s ‘America First’ Visa Fight

In the letter to Harvard, officials including Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon didn’t specify the additional financial penalties the administration is considering. But the government has other levers it can pull, including Pell Grants for low-income students and access to the federal student-loan program, which at Harvard is used mostly by graduate students.

Harvard said it strongly disagreed with the government’s findings. The school said it “has made significant strides to combat bigotry, hate and bias” and remains committed to ensuring that Jewish and Israeli students can thrive on campus
