Abishek Porel, the Delhi Capitals and Bengal cricketer, has been denied bail in an alleged rape case involving a medical student. A court on Friday sent him to judicial custody for 14 days.
Porel was arrested on August 11 in Hooghly after being questioned over a complaint filed by a young woman, who accused him of rape, blackmail and other offences. He was later medically examined before being produced before the Chinsurah court.
"There was a case lodged against him and a court order to arrest him. He was arrested late last night. He will be produced in court today," Hooghly (Rural) Superintendent of Police Kunar Bhushan Singh told PTI.
According to the complaint, the woman said Porel entered into a relationship with her after promising to marry her. She alleged that after their relationship ended, he threatened to share private photographs of her. Police registered a case under 19 sections, with most of the charges being non-bailable.
The complaint also refers to an alleged incident in Delhi on April 2, 2026. The woman claimed she was confined, not given food and deliberately kept isolated, leaving her physically weak and unable to walk properly.
She further alleged that both families had discussed marriage, but the relationship later deteriorated after she allegedly found out about Porel's involvement with other women.
The case had previously reached the Calcutta High Court. Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed Magra Police Station to seize electronic devices, including Porel's mobile phone, and submit an investigation report.
At the August 11 hearing, police told the court that Porel had been arrested and would be produced before the Chinsurah court. The cricketer has now been denied bail and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days while the case proceeds.

Baltimore has sued prediction market operators Kalshi and Polymarket, accusing both of running unlicensed sportsbooks in the city.
Mayor Brandon Scott and the City Council filed the complaints Thursday in Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
The city says both platforms let residents bet on game winners, point spreads, point totals, and player statistics. Those propositions match products sold by licensed sportsbooks, according to the complaints.
Both companies call them event contracts. However, Baltimore argues they function as sports bets and amount to unlawful gambling under Maryland law.
Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that the missing licenses free both firms from the tax bills, audits, and player-protection rules that licensed operators carry.

Aug 13 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles County sheriff's department agreed to speed up licensing for people who want to carry concealed weapons, to settle a U.S. government lawsuit accusing it of systematically and unconstitutionally denying Californians' Second Amendment rights.
A settlement of the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, and requires a judge's approval. The sheriff did not admit wrongdoing in agreeing to settle.
While Republican President Donald Trump's administration is regularly at odds with officials in Democratic-led California, its lawsuit last September focused more on bureaucracy issues than policy differences.
Los Angeles officials were accused of violating citizens' right to bear arms by typically waiting nine months to review license applications, and sometimes more than two years to interview applicants.
According to the complaint, the sheriff received 3,982 applications for new concealed carry licenses between January 2024 and March 2025 but approved just two.

Miami junior running back Jordan Lyle was arrested on Thursday on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, according to court records in Broward County, Florida.
The aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement are each felony complaints. Lyle also faces a misdemeanor complaint of reckless driving.
"We are aware of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle," a University of Miami spokesperson said in a statement on Friday, via the Miami Herald. "As due legal process runs its course, we will have no further comment at this time."
Lyle, 20, was booked into the Broward Main Jail of the Sheriff's Office on an arrest warrant from the Sunrise Police Department and was released later in the day. The charges against Lyle carry a combined $55,000 bond.
Last season as a sophomore, Lyle rushed for 108 yards and 1 touchdown on 35 carries. He was limited to six games due to a high ankle sprain suffered in the Hurricanes' season-opening 27-24 win over Notre Dame. As a freshman, Lyle compiled 400 rushing yards on 54 carries with 4 TDs.

Lord Sugar says American Express refused to increase his credit-card limit despite his estimated £1.138 billion fortune, leaving the famously outspoken businessman furious with the company's decision.
The 79-year-old Apprentice star said he spent around an hour on the phone with American Express and was transferred between four different people while trying to get his spending limit raised. He eventually reached a representative in Brighton who, according to Sugar, recognized who he was and was familiar with his financial position.
That apparently made no difference. Sugar said the representative still could not approve his request because it was rejected "due to their system," prompting him to take his frustration public on X.
The complaint quickly produced a different question from followers: why would somebody worth more than £1 billion need a higher credit-card limit in the first place? Sugar's answer was characteristically blunt, he said he does not carry bags of cash around and needs a card for the same basic reason other people do.
Sugar described the experience on X on Monday, saying what should have been a request to increase his credit limit became a lengthy telephone call with American Express. He said he was transferred between four representatives before eventually reaching an employee at the company's Brighton operation. "My request was refused due to their system," Sugar wrote, according to The Sun, which also reported that American Express had been approached for comment.

I was told last night that the Jays couldn't appeal because they left the field. Of course, since I was watching the game and they weren't, I asked if a team had ever stayed on the field after the umpires called the inning over. What would happen if a team just stayed on the field? I'm sure there is a rule against it.
And people talked about 'Playing under protest'. But that doesn't exist anymore:
As of the 2021 season, Rule 7.04 in the Official Baseball Rules was amended to read:
"Protesting a game shall never be permitted, regardless of whether such complaint is based on judgment decisions by the umpire or an allegation that an umpire misapplied these rules or otherwise rendered a decision in violation of these rules."
But baseball has to change a rule. If a run can be given 10 minutes after an inning has ended, a team should be allowed to appeal at the same time. It can't be a one-way street.

NEW DELHI: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has opened up about an incident that led to his expulsion from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru in 2000.
Harbhajan, who was among the first group of trainees at the NCA, recalled how he tore up a diet chart after repeatedly complaining that the food being served did not match the prescribed diet. He said the incident was later used as the reason for his removal.
Harbhajan said the NCA had a fixed diet plan for its trainees, but the food served did not follow the chart. According to him, repeated complaints did not lead to any change.
The former India spinner said his frustration eventually boiled over and he tore the diet chart.
"Waha se mujhe nikaal diya gaya. Woh meri galti nahi thi. Main aaj bhi is baat ko khule aam kehta hoon, kyunki woh hamara haq tha. Jo hamara khaana tha, woh achha nahi tha. [They removed me from there. It was not my mistake, I say this openly even today. It was our right. The food was not good there]," the former India spinner said on cricketnextofficial.
"Wahan jo rules aur regulations the, woh yahi the ki humein bahut kuch padhaya ja raha tha, sikhaya ja raha tha. Ek chart lagaya tha, ***** ein tha ki ye diet honi chahiye, expert ki diet ke hisaab se humein woh diet milni chahiye. Lekin woh khaana mil nahi raha tha. [Back then, the rules and regulations were such that we were told and taught a lot, and a chart was put up for the diet. But we were not getting food as per that diet. Despite complaining many times, the food did not improve. So one day I tore that chart. This was my only mistake, that I tore the chart]" Harbhajan said.
Harbhajan said he believed his decision to speak up was necessary because the problems with the diet plan would not have been addressed otherwise.
"But maybe till someone does something like this, things don't change. I was fighting for the rights. If I had not stood up, even today the same diet plan would have been followed. The plan changed, I was also removed, that is a different thing, but it was not my fault. There were some people in the BCCI who did not want someone who could stand up and question them," Harbhajan added.

Harbhajan went on to become one of India's most successful spinners. He represented India from 1998 to 2016 and finished his international career with more than 700 wickets across formats.
He played 103 Tests and took 417 wickets, including 25 five-wicket hauls and five 10-wicket match hauls.
In 236 ODIs, Harbhajan claimed 269 wickets, including three five-wicket hauls. He also played 28 T20Is and took 25 wickets.

Most of the available pool of tariff revenue has been disbursed back to U.S. companies, but American consumers are still looking for their share of the refunds.
As of the end of July, about $100 billion in tariff refunds were sent to the U.S. Department of Treasury to be disbursed to approved importers, according to a Tuesday filing to the U.S. Court of International Trade. The total is about 60% of the $166 billion in revenues collected from import taxes under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which were struck down by the Supreme Court in February.
Some U.S. consumers, however, are getting antsy that they haven't seen any of that sum reach their own wallets. Last month, New York resident Tyasia Johns filed a class action lawsuit against discount retailer Five Below, claiming it failed to return the tariff refunds it received to customers who actually paid for the levies.
Johns alleged Five Below passed down the cost of the IEEPA tariffs to consumers through increased prices and was able to preserve its profits—seeing a 22.9% year-over-year increase in net sales to $4.76 billion in 2025—through these price increases. According to the lawsuit, Five Below has not confirmed whether it has applied for or received refunds through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or if it intends to pass down those refunds to consumers.
The complaint demanded injunctive relief and an award of actual damages to class members, but did not include the prospective size of the class or specific magnitude of damages.

Aug 6 (Reuters) - Stade Francais said on Thursday that it had been the victim of a cyberattack that affected part of its information system.
French media reported that attackers had published identity documents belonging to 18 players as proof of the breach and demanded a ransom, threatening to release the remaining documents if payment was not made by August 15.
"Immediate containment, investigation and recovery measures have been implemented to secure the affected systems and ensure business continuity," the French rugby club said in a statement.
The club said its online sales platforms, including ticketing and merchandise websites, had not been affected and continued to operate normally.
Stade Francais declined to comment on any communications from those behind the attack or on information circulated by third parties. It added that it had filed a complaint with the relevant authorities.

Meghan Markle's alleged "outsider" complaint drew fresh criticism after her UK trip with Prince Harry. The ****** ss of Sussex was reportedly hurt by the way palace arrangements unfolded during the visit. A new YouTube segment linked that reaction to her wider trouble with royal life. The royal experts' discussion framed the issue around family protocol, public expectations, and whether the "Suits" actor ever adjusted to the royal family's way of operating.
As per TalkTV's YouTube video uploaded on August 4, 2026, Kevin O'Sullivan discussed Meghan Markle's birthday. He was joined by royal biographer Angela Levin. The segment then moved to the recent UK trip.
O'Sullivan said reports claimed Meghan was upset about being treated like "a pair of outsiders." Levin said Meghan came from "a different family." She added that the ****** ss "can't really know how to deal with it."
Meanwhile, Levin argued that the issue extended beyond a single visit. She said Meghan "won't do anything to fit in." The biographer added she would not adapt to "how the royals fit in." Levin also claimed Meghan "didn't do that from the start."
She said the former "Suits" actress "hated it." The comments framed the royal family clash as cultural and personal. They also followed renewed discussion about Prince Harry's wish for closer royal ties.

Someone is collecting signatures that might kill a racetrack by telling people it will save it. That is not a typo. Paid canvassers in Nashville were caught on hidden camera telling residents that signing their petition would protect the Fairgrounds Speedway from being torn down by corporate developers. The petition actually does the exact opposite. It strips racing's legal protections from the city charter and tries to open the land to housing construction. Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat down with Marcus Smith, Jeff Burton, and Matt Weaver to talk about it.
"My question is, if it's true, which there's video evidence of these folks seeking these signatures, stating false information or just incorrect information, how can that not be taken to de-legitimize the 50,000, 60,000 signatures they need?" said Dale Jr. on Wednesday's episode of The Dale Jr. Download.
"They are using actual government letterhead to give this to the residents. That's the moment it becomes a legal matter."
Residents who figured out they were misled are now trying to pull their names off the petition. But the Metro Clerk's office earlier told them they cannot before suggesting that anyone who would like to remove their name can contact Restore Our Fairgrounds. That said, former council members have already filed formal complaints demanding a full investigation.
The petition campaign has been backed by John Ingram, per reports, owner of Nashville SC.

During the July 21 episode of CNBC's Mad Money, host Jim Cramer addressed viewer complaints about managing technology allocations as memory and storage stocks experience short-term price surges. Cramer defended his commitment to mega-cap tech leaders, noting that short-term performance gaps do not change the long-term dominance of primary platform owners. Acknowledging recent market movements, Cramer noted:
I certainly don't rebel at owning tech. Hey, my Charitable Trust's largest positions are Apple and NVIDIA, for heaven's sake. Sure, these haven't kept up with Sandisk or Western Digital lately, but they are unique, excellent companies that are making fortunes.
For investors looking for direct, targeted exposure to individual hardware components within the artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, Cramer outlined a clear breakdown of his preferred market leaders across each category:
So here's my advice: If you want to go own a memory chip maker, I like Micron. If you want GPUs, to me, that's AMD or NVIDIA. If you want CPUs, that's Intel. Racks, call Dell. Optics, make it Corning.
Cramer's framework breaks down the artificial intelligence infrastructure stack into distinct, specialized categories rather than treating the semiconductor sector as a single, uniform trade. At the memory layer, Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) serves as his primary pick for high-speed DRAM and High Bandwidth Memory modules that feed real-time data into complex AI processors. Storage-focused peers like Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC), Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), and Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) complement the ecosystem by providing the flash storage and mass-capacity hard drives required for secondary data retention, but they operate outside the high-margin primary compute memory layer where Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) maintains a core competitive advantage.

California is asking a federal judge to throw out Tory Lanez's $100 million federal lawsuit over his prison stabbing.
According to newly filed court documents reviewed by Complex, Attorney General Rob Bonta's office submitted a motion on Wednesday (July 29) seeking to dismiss every claim against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, arguing the agency cannot legally be sued under the federal law Lanez is relying on. Specifically, the AG is claiming that the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution gives the state immunity from being sued in federal court.
The amendment says, "The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State." The AG's office makes the argument that this prohibition applies as well to any action against a state by one of its own citizens.
The motion asks the court to dismiss Lanez's claims without giving his attorneys an opportunity to amend the complaint.

Every time I open the internet, Charlize Theron is serving another standout look on the Asian leg of The Odyssey press tour, and I have absolutely no complaints. Her latest appearance came at the Seoul premiere held at Yeongdeungpo Times Square on Tuesday.

About 99.9% of you weren't on board with her previous Tom Ford look. The comments on my Facebook group ranged from "Female Dexter" and "Serial Killer Chic by Aileen Wuornos" to one reader who described her recent run of looks as "the curtain, the table and now the raincoat." I'm ***** uming that was a reference to the Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Tom Ford looks.
Here it was called "a dumb, dumb look," while another said, "The gloves and skirt turn this into a fancy butcher trying to avoid getting blood on her clothes."

Social media has recently been flooded with clips of pro athletes lamenting that their multimillion-dollar contracts don't go as far as people think. While such complaints can be easy to dunk on, the underlying point is important. The problem is the messenger.
The recent wave may have started with resurfaced clips of JJ Redick, one from February 2024 and another from March 2024, explaining how taxes and other costs can dramatically reduce a player's take-home pay.
"I think people should listen, because they're telling the truth," Chris Bosh recently told Front Office Sports. "And it's really interesting how people don't want to listen to that, but if I told you that player X is signing a three-year, $150 million deal, you'll believe it. It's not $150 million. That's what they're trying to get people to understand."
Financial advisors who work with athletes say the public often overestimates how wealthy professional athletes actually are, especially given taxes, short careers, and, in some cases, financial mismanagement.
"The general public ******* umption—which is that if you make it to the pros you are set for life—is far from true," says Perigon Wealth Management's head of sports and entertainment Marc Specht.

New Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal met with reporters on Monday at Wrigley Field in Chicago, one day after he was acquired as the showcase piece of this year's trade deadline, and one day before the left-hander makes his pitching debut with his new team.
From Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic:
"Every team could trade for me," Skubal said. "Every team can make that acquisition. I don't really sympathize with people that blame the Dodgers for anything they've done."
Skubal had kind words to say about his new team, per Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times:
"They've developed a really good organization. They draft well. They acquire talent really well. They retain talent. It's a winning organization. Now the complaints seem to be [happening] because they've won the last two World Series. I don't think it was like that three years ago. So I don't really sympathize with people that are complaining. Because the Dodgers do all the right things."

Another good test to round up our US tour and finally one where we are on the right side of the result.
We controlled the game well and looked sharper both in and out of possession, with some nice passing moves creating chances and ******* e. Promising signs all over.
Brobbey was terrific — of course, up against lesser opposition, but you can't take that away from him.
A competitive match with the back four doing well.
Wrexham had a goal disallowed after we went ahead and it was an outstanding flick from Brobbey for Mukiele to score. He took his goal really well, no complaints there.

North Carolina isn't saying much about UNC football G.M. Michael Lombardi, who has been placed on paid administrative leave. Lombardi had something to say on Friday night, via his attorney.
"Michael hasn't been told anything about the nature of UNC's investigation and welcomes the opportunity to clear his name, which has already been sullied by baseless statements and innuendo on social media," lawyer Tom Mars said, via Pete Thamel of ESPN. "He is fully cooperating with UNC and expects the investigation will be swift, thorough, and fair. Michael would ask that people have the decency to let the process run its course before jumping to any conclusions about the nature of the investigation or whether there's any merit to whatever has been alleged."
North Carolina has said that it is investigating "allegations" regarding Lombardi. Thamel reported on Monday that the situation "stems from a human resources complaint filed by a former UNC front office employee."
It's not unusual for the subject of an investigation to know nothing in the early stages. In many cases, the employer speaks to the person against whom accusations are made as the last step, after all other relevant information is gathered. When UNC interviews Lombardi, he'll get an idea pretty quickly as to what it's about.
For now, he's still getting paid. He's just not working. Whether he returns depends on the outcome of the investigation.

Tyler Lacy may not be the first name Detroit Lions fans mention when discussing the defensive line. In fact, in our pre-Training Camp 53-man roster prediction article, we had Lacy as the last defensive lineman making the cut.
Dan Campbell believes he brings exactly the kind of reliability every good defense needs.
Lacy can set the edge, absorb physical work inside and move across the front without complaint. He also happens to approach the job the way Campbell wants every Lion to approach it.
"I'll start with the most important thing: He's a football guy," Campbell said.
"He's a professional. He prepares, practices hard and will do whatever you ask him to do."

St Mirren manager Craig McLeish faces being disciplined by the Scottish FA following comments made following his side's 1-0 defeat by Dunfermline Athletic in the Premier Sports Cup on Sunday.
Speaking on Premier Sports afterwards, the 36-year-old questioned decisions by the match officials and asked who referee Sean Murdoch played for.
The 39-year-old had two spells as a goalkeeper with Dunfermline before becoming an official.
McLeish has now been called to a hearing on Thursday, 27 August to hear a notice of complaint over "Disciplinary Rule 72".
That rule says no club official should criticise a match official "in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence" or make comments "which impinge on his character".

Football's world governing body expects to receive the first funding generated by president Gianni Infantino's controversial sell-off plans by the end of October.
Infantino has proposed the creation of a subsidiary body to run Fifa tournaments, which would include some outside investment.
Fifa has given all 211 member ***** ociations until 19 September to say whether they agree with the plan, with a straight majority to decide whether to proceed.
One of the main complaints around the plan so far has been a lack of consultation.
Critics will say that is underlined by a new document sent to ***** ociations by Fifa - and seen by BBC Sport - outlining the following timescales around funding:

Saltburn Cricket Club have suspended a player, humorously called "Clicky Ponting", after he was accused of cheating during a local league match by clicking his fingers to make it sound like the batter had edged the ball.
The incident, which happened during Saltburn's second XI win over Norton, went viral on social media after video footage appeared to show the fielder making the sound just before the wicketkeeper completed the catch.
The umpire gave the batter out, sparking widespread criticism online.
Responding to the controversy, Saltburn Cricket Club, an English outfit, said they were taking the allegations seriously and had suspended the player while an investigation is underway.
In a statement, the club said, "We are treating this allegation with the utmost seriousness and, as a family-centric club, we are fully cooperating with the NYS League's investigation."
The statement added, "The player at the centre of the complaint has been suspended and will not play again for the club this season or in the foreseeable future, pending the outcome of this investigation."
Saltburn have also withdrawn from their second-team cup match against Marton as the investigation continues. Club officials have already spoken with league representatives and said the situation has been difficult for everyone involved.
They added, "This has been a very distressing and stressful experience for all those concerned, and we would ask that this reality is borne in mind and that personal boundaries are respected, as we are an amateur club entirely run by volunteers."
The viral clip has now been viewed more than 7.5 million times on X, with several well-known figures criticising the alleged act.

Jokic and Jamal Murray is that team stacked? Ant Edwards, Rudy Gobert I don't know; he left Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves is that not?

Screenwriter Russell T Davies has described the death of his husband to an aggressive brain tumour as his "greatest loss".
Speaking on the On the Marie Curie Couch podcast, the Doctor Who writer opened up about Andrew Smith, who died in September 2018, following eight years of treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.
The couple had been together for 20 years and married in 2012.
The Swansea-born writer, who was also behind Channel 4 shows It's a Sin and Tip Toe, said it was "hard work" looking after his late husband, but that he would have gone through it for another 50 years "without a single complaint".
Davies said he had not been with Smith at his appointment when he was first diagnosed because the couple thought it was just an "ordinary meeting" with the hospital.

NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - The former JPMorgan Chase banker whose lurid ****** ual harassment lawsuit went viral added new claims and defendants on Monday, saying the largest U.S. bank's acceptance of racism and ****** ual coercion irreparably destroyed his career.
Chirayu Rana said racism was ingrained in the culture of his otherwise all-white leveraged finance team, where his South Asian heritage "became the punchline for a stream of degrading jokes," including calling him a "monkey" and "brown boy."
JPMorgan has said it believed Rana's allegations were meritless. Neither the bank nor its lawyers had an immediate comment.
In an 82-page complaint, Rana, who is of Nepali descent, added allegations that colleagues suggested he transact in rupees, and one texted that he should "run before we call ICEE {sic} on your family," referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
