Pune Bar Where Teen Drank Before Running Over 2 Techies With Porsche Sealed

Pune officials have sealed a city bar that served alcohol to a 17-year-old boy and his friends in the early hours of Monday, after which the drunk teen drove and rammed a Porsche sports car into a bike carrying two people, both of whom were killed. The legal drinking age in the state of Maharashtra is 25, which means it was illegal to serve liquor to the boy or his friends.
Hours after the horrific incident – which the family of Aneesh Awadhiya, who was driving the two-wheeler, have insisted was “murder” – the 17-year-old, the son of a prominent city-based realtor, was given bail.

Recently, a video surfaced online showing an argument between an Uber cab driver and a passenger over the malfunctioning AC.

“3 Missed Opportunities For Opposition”: Prashant Kishor To NDTV

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor has scoffed at the Congress-led INDIA bloc’s chances of defeating the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, arguing the opposition grouping had failed to capitalise – multiple times – when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was on the defensive. He made specific mention of the contentious Ram Mandir (consecration in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya), saying, “The opposition virtually lay down arms (after the event). By the time they woke up again, in February, it was too late.”
“By the time INDIA bloc came into action, it was too late… the BJP had already recovered space it lost,” Mr Kishor, who orchestrated winning campaigns for three members of the opposition group – the Trinamool, the Congress, and the DMK – told NDTV on Tuesday.
Mr Kishor also criticised the INDIA bloc’s failure to announce a common prime ministerial candidate – something the BJP has also pounced on – and suggested this told the voters the opposition group “does not have a reliable fac..

BCCI Asked To Fulfill ‘Only Condition’ To See Dhoni Continue IPL Journey

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu doesn’t feel MS Dhoni has played his last match in the IPL and wants the BCCI to continue with the contentious impact player rule as it could help the long-serving legend to keep going in top-flight cricket. Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings bowed out of this edition of the Indian Premier League following a 27-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a much-anticipated southern derby in Bengaluru on Saturday.
The five-time defending champions needed 17 in the final over to qualify for the playoffs on better net run rate, but bowler Yash Dayal, after being hit for monstrous six by Dhoni, held his nerves to help RCB prevail.
Later, speaking on Star Sports Cricket Live, Rayudu said, “I don’t think this is his last game. I just don’t see him wanting to end on this note.” Even as the RCB players broke into wild celebrations, Dhoni shook hands with the opposition’s reserves and support staff before quietly disappearing into the dressing room.
Rayudu said, “He ..

At 3 am today, an ambulance drove into Birsinghpur in Madhya Pradesh’s Umaria district. As soon as its doors opened, family members of 24-year-old Aneesh Awadhiya broke down. The young IT engineer, who had been working in Pune, was among the two people killed after a speeding Porsche driven by a drunk teen hit their bike.
Atmaram Awadhiya, Aneesh’s grandfather, said the teen driver, son of a prominent Pune realtor, should not have been granted bail. “Two people have died in this accident. This is completely wrong. We want strict punishment. The bail granted to the accused should be cancelled,” he said.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has announced new regulations for obtaining a driving license in India.
Here are the key points:
Driving Tests at Private Institutions: Starting June 1, 2024, individuals can take driving tests at private driving training centres instead of government RTOs. These institutions will be authorised to conduct tests and issue certificates for license eligibility.
