Jamshedpur: A woman and her minor daughter were crushed to death, while her father-in-law and mother-in-law were seriously injured when an elephant that got separated from its herd attacked their hut in Hadat village of Chandil forest range in Seraikela-Kharsawan district in the early hours of Saturday, a forest official said.Forester Mukesh Kumar said that on Friday night, a herd of five elephants from Purulia district of West Bengal had wandered into the village.“An elephant that got separated from the herd, probably attracted by the aroma of rice kept in sacks in the house, broke the wall of the thatched house. Mohan Mahato, 65, and Satula, 60, who were sleeping in a room, were buried under the debris of the collapsed wall,” he said.“Mahto’s son, Kamalchand, 40, his wife Cheena Devi, 37, and daughter Amita Bala, 13, who were sleeping in the adjacent room, heard the screams of Kamalchand’s parents and ran to save them. But he encountered an elephant in the verandah. In panic, Kamal Chand hid under a cot and managed to save his life, but Cheena and Amita were crushed to death.Locals rescued the injured elderly couple and shifted them to Chandil Community Health Center (CHC), from where they were referred to Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College and Hospital in Jamshedpur. Sources said that his condition is said to be stable.A quick response team (QRT) along with forest guards have been tasked with bringing the elephants back to Purulia, the official said.Kamal Chand was handed a compensation of Rs 1 lakh to perform the last rites of his wife and daughter. “Once the legal formalities are completed, the family will be given an ex-gratia amount of Rs 8 lakh,” Kumar said.On April 11, a 55-year-old villager was crushed to death by an adult elephant in Saprup village under Tiruldih police station area.

Britain’s King Charles is set to attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the 9/11 memorial in New York City as part of his official visit to the US next week, his office has confirmed.The event will honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed more than 2,600 people, including 67 Britons.New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is also expected to attend the ceremony along with other officials, although there will be no private meeting between the two, Reuters reported, citing Joe Calvello, the mayor’s press secretary.

No private meeting planned between King and NYC mayor

While both leaders are expected to appear at the same public remembrance event, Mamdani’s office clarified that no private meeting with the monarch is scheduled. The participation is part of a wider official program that includes dignitaries from the US and UK.

State visit filled with diplomatic engagements

King Charles is scheduled to visit Washington, D.C., New York and Virginia during his April 27-30 state visit. He will also address the US Congress and become the first British monarch to do so since Queen Elizabeth II in 1991.US President Donald Trump will host a private meeting and state banquet for the King and Queen Camilla during the visit.

US-UK relations in the spotlight

The visit comes at a time of tense relations between Washington and London. Trump has publicly suggested that King Charles could help improve diplomatic relations, while also criticizing aspects of Britain’s policy in recent comments.Despite political differences, the royal visit is being seen as a symbolic effort to strengthen the long-standing security and diplomatic cooperation between the two countries, with the 9/11 memorial event being seen as an important moment of shared remembrance.

15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi completed his second century in the Indian Premier League in just 36 balls on Saturday, April 25. Sunrisers Hyderabad had to bear the brunt of the youngster’s anger in Jaipur, where he looked in dangerous form. Vaibhav scored the third fastest IPL century ever and now has two of the three fastest to the milestone. Last season, he scored his maiden century in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans and created history as the youngest player to achieve the feat.

Vaibhav came out with intent on Saturday and hit Prafulla Hinge for four consecutive sixes in the very first over. It was an extraordinary display of intent from the batsman who was out for a golden duck against SRH in their previous encounter this season.

Vaibhav’s failure in that game resulted in Rajasthan losing while chasing an easy target of 217 runs, giving them their first defeat of the season. After that game, RR lost momentum, leaving Vaibhav in tears after the defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 19.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s charge

However, he wasn’t going to let that happen today. When Prafulla Hinge adopted the same strategy of playing short shots against the left-handed batsman, Vaibhav countered and hit a six down the leg side. If that show of intent wasn’t enough, he repeated it four more times, and scored 30 runs off just 6 balls.

He continued to wear down SRH’s bowling attack while Dhruv Jurel took time to find his rhythm. Vaibhav was particularly aggressive against SRH’s other uncapped fast bowler Saqib Hussain, completing his century in the 14th over of the match by hitting two sixes and a four.

On Saturday, Vaibhav performed strongly and hit 12 sixes and only 5 fours. At no point in his innings, he had any interest in keeping the ball on the ground.

However, after scoring a century, Saqib was successful in dismissing Vaibhav on the very next ball. Saqib bowled a full ball over the wicket. Vaibhav was unable to test the slower ball and failed to connect with the reverse lap. The ball hit his left pad and the on-field umpire gave him out.

IPL: Royals all out for 228 runs

After Vaibhav’s dismissal, Rajasthan’s run rate dropped drastically. Pat Cummins, Prafulla Hinge and Ehsaan Malinga took the responsibility of restricting Rajasthan to a total score of 228 runs.

To put things in context, Rajasthan had crossed the 100-run mark in the 9th over itself and looked set for a total of 240+.

Earlier on Saturday, Delhi Capitals played a high-scoring match against Punjab Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Delhi made a huge score of 264 runs, but lost the match. Under the leadership of Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer, Punjab achieved the record target in just 18.5 overs.
