A 21-year-old Indian-origin engineering student has died after being pulled unconscious from New Zealand’s Lake Taupo during an Easter holiday trip with friends, according to a family friend.Emergency services were called to Whakamoenga Point in Acacia Bay at about 3.20am on Sunday, April 5, after the young man was pulled from the water. Police confirmed that despite the efforts of first responders, he died at the scene.“A man has died after being pulled unconscious from the water at Lake Taupo.

Sunrisers Hyderabad traded Mohammed Shami To Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 10 crore before this season. On Sunday he returned them with interest travis head And Abhishek Sharma in the powerplay with a masterclass in skill and deception.Shami started with the wicket over the head, a line that suggested predictability. The Australian expected the shape of the ball to change and prepared accordingly. Instead, the first three balls were a bit of a toss-up: tight and aggressive, forcing them to take up space. Until the fourth, when Shami finally sent one on the right length, Head induced him to remove it from strike. A bluff was called against Sharma. Shami shifts the ball to deep third man at deep point, pointing it wide outside the off stump. However, Shami bowled a sharp yorker which hit Sharma’s leg stump. Then came Utkarsh. On the last ball of the opening over, another fielder was pushed to the off side, reinforcing the idea of width. Shami bowled wide, but it was a cutter. Sharma, early in the innings, was caught at short third on duck. The hook was baited.
The fast bowler was not finished. He returned the next over with another vicious cutter. The head, still recalibrating, pressed awkwardly forward. His bottom hand slipped and the ball went towards mid-off. Aiden Markram dives forward to take a sharp catch.Two wickets. Eighteen dot balls. Figures of 2/9 and player-of-the-match award.“If he keeps bowling like this, it will be difficult for the selectors to ignore him,” former Delhi fast bowler Sanjeev Sharma told TOI. “Play him in the Afghanistan series. But like a dent in a car, you have to handle it carefully. Similarly, their bodies need careful management.”At 35, Shami knows this better than anyone. After a tough IPL 2025 season for SRH, where he took six wickets in nine matches, Shami has found the tough path again.“I am not a machine. If you are fit then only you can work on your skills. That’s why I stayed in touch with the game and played all the domestic matches,” he told reporters.Shami had performed brilliantly for Bengal in the last Ranji season by taking 67 wickets.Since his last appearance for India in the ICC Champions Trophy last year, he has been out of action due to injuries to some extent.This is the Shami paradox. A delicate structure and an unbreakable craft. But on such days, he bends the ball and the game as per his wish.
Immigration lawyer Felipe Jimenez said there are at least 8 best options for people who were not selected in the H-1B FY 2027 lottery.
Not being selected in the H-1B lottery that concluded for fiscal year 2027 is not the end of the road for the American Dream, as there are many other visa programs and viable options for living legally in the U.S., said immigration attorney Felipe Jimenez. Many Redditors expressed their disappointment as they said this was their last chance to live in America. Jimenez said there are at least eight best options, not just the much-discussed O-Visa. The O-Visa has come on the radar as questions are being raised about whether people with exceptional abilities are actually getting this visa or whether it has become an alternative to the H-1B visa. Some experts suggested that there is a possibility that there could be a second lottery as they estimated that companies could not petition for all those selected in the lottery because the companies would have to pay a $100,000 visa fee. And so, a second lottery may be needed to fill all the cap spaces.
The recently concluded lottery is for the H-1B cap, but there are also cap-free H-1B jobs. Universities and institutions of higher education, non-profit institutions affiliated with universities, non-profit research organizations and government research organizations are not subject to this Rs. 85,000 limit.
Returning to school is a viable option to remain legally in the US as it changes the visa program back to F-1 and provides additional time, making the individual eligible for OPT, OPT extension.
STEM students on an F-1 visa who are already taking their OPT may qualify for a 24-month STEM OPT extension.
Day 1 CPT Program is a type of educational program in the US that allows international students (usually on F-1 visas) to start working immediately on the first day of their course through something called Curricular Practical Training (CPT).Jimenez advised using this program with caution as it could lead to future visa denials if USCIS determines the program is not legitimate.
This visa program is for people with exceptional ability in science, education, business, athletics, arts, film and television. Exceptional ability has to be proven through publications, awards, high salaries, etc.
People who work for a multinational company can get an L-1 visa for intracompany transfer.
The TN (Trade NAFTA) visa allows Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in certain commercial occupations in the United States. It’s fast and simple and there is no lottery and Canadians can apply for it directly at the border. However, this visa does not lead to a green card.
It is for entrepreneurs who can make large investments in a US business. Individuals who have access to funds can take this path. USCIS will investigate the source of the funds.

124 इंस्पेक्टर पर भड़के आईजी

New Delhi: With Chhattisgarh’s Bastar division now free from Maoist occupation, state Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah here on Tuesday to discuss the roadmap to boost development and infrastructure in the region in the coming months. State government sources told TOI that SAI’s visit – the first on the other side of the March 31, 2026 deadline to eradicate Naxalism – is being considered crucial for shaping the future of Bastar. “The main focus of the Chief Minister’s meetings with the Prime Minister and the Home Minister will be on the post-Maoist scenario, with detailed discussions on expansion of infrastructure, promotion of industries and investment, large-scale employment generation for local youth and inclusive development of tribal areas,” an official said.The development of Bastar is now emerging as a national priority, not just for Chhattisgarh, because it has suffered the brunt of Naxalism for decades. Large parts of the region were ruled by Maoists, restricting administrative access and denying the tribals living there the benefits of governance, development and welfare initiatives.However, with significant progress on the security front in the last year ensuring that no significant Maoist leaders are active in Bastar, the focus has now shifted towards rapidly integrating the region into the mainstream.
Panaji: The Mapusa court, in its order granting him bail, said that the crime of culpable homicide against Birch by Romeo Lane owners Gaurav Luthra, 44, and Saurabh Luthra, 40, does not fall in the category of the most heinous crimes like murder, where the punishment can extend to death or mandatory life imprisonment.Last December, 25 people had lost their lives in a fire that broke out at Birch in Romeo Lane, Arpora.The court observed that the Luthra brothers have been in custody for more than three months since December 16, and said that prolonged incarceration without the possibility of an early conclusion of the trial would amount to pre-trial punishment.It states that culpable homicide, where there is neither knowledge nor intention to cause death, is of a comparatively lesser degree than crimes involving intent to cause death. Additional Sessions Judge 1, North Goa, Mapusa, Dwijapal V Patkar, said Luthra “is not accused of a crime of a serious nature like murder, and the allegations, at the highest level, do not involve any intention to cause death.”The court said it had to balance the interest of society with Luthra’s fundamental right to personal liberty. It noted that a charge sheet has been filed, indicating the conclusion of the investigation and the case is in the preliminary stage.The trial is unlikely to conclude in the near future, given the current “docket explosion, number of old cases, custody/undertrial prisoners’ cases, Disha cases and the nature of the proceedings, including the fact that the charge sheet runs into over 4,000 pages, contains numerous documents and cites 306 witnesses, including outside witnesses, and 13 accused persons have been convicted”, the court said. “Such continuous imprisonment would be punitive, which is legally unacceptable,” it said.The Luthra brothers, represented by lawyer Parag Rao, told the court that the charge sheet did not mention any specific role of theirs in committing any of the alleged crimes. Rao told the court that the allegations have been leveled against partners and managers in general.Anjuna Police objected to the bail considering the severity of the sentence, the scale of the incident and the gravity of the crime. The PI had said that granting bail would shake society’s faith in the criminal justice system.Government lawyer J Santamaria objected to his bail, saying he had disregarded the law and human life by fleeing the country, and said he was in a position of influence over his employees and witnesses. She argued that the crimes against them were serious, resulting in the deaths of 25 people, with all witnesses being Birch employees.________________________________________________Order reserved in NOC fraud casePanaji: Mapusa court has reserved its order for Wednesday on the bail pleas of Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra in the NOC forgery case registered by Mapusa police.
