Zuckerberg Apologises Over Deepfakes, Child Sexual Abuse Content On Meta Platforms

The dispute between Meta and the government appears to be easing after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent an apology over deepfake content and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on the company's platforms. According to sources, Zuckerberg apologised for lapses related to CSAM deepfakes and the platform's operations. Sources also claimed that Meta acknowledged spending significant sums to boost certain types of content. Government's Stand Government sources said Meta was told it cannot be treated merely as an "intermediary" because the company determines which content reaches users. The government maintained that, in such circumstances, the "safe harbour" protection available under the IT Act would not apply to Meta. According to government sources, Meta admitted shortcomings in its handling of the matter, expressed regret and issued an apology.

Officials also referred to the earlier removal of a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and flagged concerns over objectionable and abusive content on the platform. In response, Meta said it has strict internal policies in place and that the deliberate misuse of its platforms is unacceptable. Meeting With IT Ministry Earlier on Wednesday, Meta's global team met senior officials from the Ministry of Information Technology after being summoned by the Centre over the removal of the Prime Minister's post. The meeting also covered concerns over the erroneous action taken on important posts, lapses in effectively curbing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on social media platforms, and other regulatory issues.

Which Is Cricket's Richest League After IPL? It's Not BBL Or PSL

Richest Cricket Leagues: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has transformed the business of cricket since its launch in 2008. What began as a franchise-based T20 competition has grown into one of the world's most valuable sporting leagues, with its estimated valuation now touching US$20.6 billion. The tournament has become the financial powerhouse of cricket, helping the BCCI emerge as one of the richest sporting bodies globally. The IPL's remarkable growth has also inspired several countries to establish their own franchise leagues. The Hundred Climbs To Second Spot Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh and even Nepal now host T20 competitions that attract international stars. However, when it comes to commercial value, only one league has managed to establish itself as the closest challenger to the IPL. Read More: Donald Trump Snubs Gianni Infantino As FIFA Chief Faces Pressure Over Failed FFE Project: Report Many fans would assume Australia's Big Bash League (BBL) or South Africa's SA20 that occupies the second position in cricket's financial rankings. However, recent estimates suggest England's The Hundred has moved ahead of its rivals. Reports valued The Hundred's brand at approximately US$610 million in 2024. Its valuation rose dramatically after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) sold stakes in the tournament's franchises, attracting significant investment from around the world. Several IPL franchise owners entered the competition by purchasing stakes in The Hundred teams. Investors linked to Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad were among those involved in the ownership changes. Following these investments, reports estimate The Hundred's valuation has climbed to approximately US$1.3 billion, making it the second-most valuable cricket league after the IPL. IPL In A League Of Its Own Despite the rapid growth of rival competitions, the IPL continues to enjoy a massive financial advantage over every other cricket league. Its estimated valuation of US$20.6 billion places it far ahead of the rest of the field and makes it one of the biggest sporting properties in the world. The Pakistan Super League remains well behind the top two competitions. Reports estimate the PSL's business valuation at slightly above US$250 million, highlighting the significant gap between Pakistan's franchise tournament and the IPL or The Hundred. South Africa's SA20 has also recorded encouraging commercial growth. Financial figures released in 2025 indicated the league generated profits exceeding US$45 million, reflecting its increasing popularity and business potential.

CMF Clip Pro Launched With Open-Ear Clip-On Design, 32.5-Hour Battery Life, But India Will Have To Wait

CMF Clip Pro Launched With Open-Ear Clip-On Design, 32.5-Hour Battery Life, But India Will Have To Wait

CMF, the affordable brand from Nothing, has expanded its audio portfolio with the launch of the Clip Pro, its first pair of clip-on wireless earbuds. Unlike conventional true wireless stereo earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, the CMF Clip Pro uses an open-ear design aimed at offering a more comfortable listening experience. The launch comes as clip-on earbuds gain traction in the personal audio market, with major brands including Sony and Bose also experimenting with similar form factors. CMF is positioning the Clip Pro as a comparatively affordable entry into the category, although buyers in India will not get access to the new earbuds. CMF Clip Pro Uses Three-Point Clip Design The CMF Clip Pro is designed to attach around the ear, with one section resting behind it while the speaker sits outside the ear canal. CMF calls this its 3-point Clip Design, which is intended to distribute pressure across the ear and improve comfort during longer listening sessions. The earbuds will be offered in three colour options: Dark Grey, Light Grey and Coral. CMF has also added tactile buttons directly to the earbuds for controlling different functions. The charging case gets an additional rotating dial that can be used to change the volume, manage music playback and calls, and pair the earbuds with compatible smartphones. 10.8mm Drivers, LDAC Support, Sound Seal System Audio performance can be one of the compromises associated with open-ear earbuds, particularly when it comes to bass response, sound leakage and isolation. CMF is attempting to address some of those limitations with a 10.8mm dual-magnet dynamic driver. The Clip Pro also features ‘Ultra Bass Technology’, which is designed to strengthen low-frequency output. Codec support includes LDAC, AAC and SBC, giving users multiple options depending on their device and preferred audio quality. Another feature, called ‘Sound Seal System’, is designed to manage mid and high frequencies to reduce the amount of audio that escapes from the earbuds. This could be particularly useful when using the Clip Pro in quieter public spaces. For calls, CMF has equipped the earbuds with four HD microphones. These work alongside a VPU-powered Clear Voice Technology system designed to distinguish the wearer's voice from surrounding environmental noise. CMF Clip Pro Promises Up To 32.5 Hours Of Playback Each CMF Clip Pro earbud packs a 60mAh battery. According to the company, the earbuds can deliver up to 10 hours of music playback on a single charge, while talk time is rated at up to 6.5 hours. The accompanying charging case houses a larger 475mAh battery. With the case included, total claimed playback time increases to as much as 32.5 hours. Combined talk time is rated at up to 25 hours. ALSO READ: CMF Watch 3 Pro Review: Got The Right Muscles, Wish It Got The Right Tailor Too CMF Clip Pro Price And Availability The CMF Clip Pro will initially go on sale in the US, UK and Japan on August 15. It has been priced at $99, which translates to approximately Rs 9,500. CMF plans to expand availability to Europe and additional global markets from September 15. India, however, is not part of the rollout, with the company confirming that the Clip Pro will not be launched in the country. At $99, the Clip Pro enters the growing clip-on earbuds segment at a lower price point than alternatives from brands such as Bose and Sony. That could make it an accessible option for consumers looking to try the open-ear, clip-on format without spending as much on a premium pair.

Doc Talk | Struggling With Brain Fog? Know The Hidden Health Conditions Behind It

Brain fog is often taken to mean a state of slowed mental processing, poor memory, or an inability to focus. Stress is a common culprit, but it is not the only one. Chronic brain fog should not be explained away with excuses such as “being overly busy”; there may be an underlying health issue. ALSO READ: Doc Talk | What Happens When A Person Is Brain Dead? Expert Explains The Medical Reality Common Causes Of Brain Fog Several of the most common causes of brain fog include lack of quality sleep and sleep disorders, especially compromised sleep due to sleep apnea; deficiencies in vitamins B12 and D; hormonal problems such as menopause and hormonal imbalance; as well as use of sedatives, antihistamines, and certain types of pain medicines, all of which impede mental functioning. Medical Conditions Associated Brain fog has come to be acknowledged after viral infections, including COVID-19, whereby some people encounter prolonged cognitive symptoms that can last for weeks or months. Chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety, autoimmune illnesses, and chronic fatigue syndrome might also add to the problem. In older adults, ongoing cognitive alterations should be assessed to eliminate mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. Management And Prevention To promote healthy cognition and thinking, it is important to understand the root problem rather than simply masking symptoms. To reduce the risk of brain health problems caused by a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, it is essential to eat a balanced diet with plenty of essential vitamin-rich foods such as fish, vegetables, and fruits; exercise regularly; drink plenty of fluids; and get the sleep needed for one’s body. It is also a good idea to keep one’s brain engaged through reading, learning, and communicating with others. ALSO READ: Doc Talk | Struggling To Understand Conversations In Noisy Places? It May Signal A Brain Condition When To Seek Medical Help In case of prolonged cognitive difficulties such as brain fog symptoms, seek medical assistance. An early diagnosis might help to discover potentially reversible causes. Brain fog is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Knowing the cause should help in getting the proper treatment and being restored to normal cognitive condition quickly.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Launching Next Week: Release Date, Price In India, Specs, Camera, Everything We Know

Google Pixel 11 Pro Launching Next Week: Release Date, Price In India, Specs, Camera, Everything We Know

Google Pixel 11 Pro is expected to make its debut on August 12, as Google prepares for its next Made by Google hardware event in New York City. While Google has yet to officially reveal the smartphone, a series of leaks, regulatory filings and reported retail listings have provided an early picture of what the next flagship Pixel could offer. The Pixel 11 Pro is tipped to bring some significant hardware changes, including Google's new Tensor G6 processor, a MediaTek 5G modem, an upgraded camera system and a brighter OLED display. Android 17, deeper Gemini integration and seven years of software support are also expected. Here is everything you need to know about the Google Pixel 11 Pro ahead of its official launch. It should be noted that everything mentioned in terms of price and specifications of the upcoming phone are purely based on leaks and rumours. Google has yet to confirm any details beyond the release date and certain teaser images. All details will officially be revealed on August 12. Google Pixel 11 Pro Release Date Google has confirmed that its Made by Google event will take place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, in New York City. The event begins at 6 pm ET, or 3 pm PT. For Indian viewers, that simply means early morning at 3:30 am IST on August 13. The Pixel 11 Pro is expected to be unveiled alongside the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel Watch 5. Leaks suggest Pixel 11 Pro pre-orders could begin immediately after the launch event on August 12. According to information attributed to leaker billbil-kun via Dealabs, retail sales could begin on August 20. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to arrive separately at a later date. ALSO READ: Meta CEO Zuckerberg Gets Three Days To Apologise Over PM Modi Video Removal Google Pixel 11 Pro Price In India Google has not announced the Pixel 11 Pro price in India yet. However, a reported accidental Amazon listing has indicated possible US prices for all three storage configurations. The Pixel 11 Pro 256GB model is tipped to cost $1,099, while the 512GB version could be priced at $1,219. The top-end 1TB model could cost $1,449. At an approximate exchange rate of Rs 87.5 per US dollar, these prices convert to roughly Rs 96,200, Rs 1,06,700 and Rs 1,26,800, respectively. These are direct currency conversions and should not be considered expected Indian retail prices. Google's final pricing in India could differ significantly because of taxes, import costs and its regional pricing strategy. The disappearance of the 128GB variant also means the Pixel 11 Pro could effectively have a higher entry price than its predecessor. Google VP of Devices and Services Shakil Barkat has reportedly linked rising device costs to higher memory prices, saying Google “shielded our consumers from supply fluctuations for as long as possible” but that “the economics have fundamentally shifted.” Google Pixel 11 Pro Specifications The Pixel 11 Pro is tipped to feature a 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 2,856 x 1,280 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. Peak brightness could reach 3,600 nits, while full-screen HDR brightness is reportedly rated at 2,450 nits. The display is also expected to offer 240Hz PWM dimming and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. At the heart of the phone could be Google's Tensor G6, manufactured using TSMC's 2nm process. Leaks point to a seven-core CPU configuration paired with PowerVR graphics and Google's Titan M3 security coprocessor. The 256GB version is expected to ship with 12GB RAM, while the 512GB and 1TB models could offer 16GB RAM. If accurate, this would mean the entry-level Pixel 11 Pro gets less RAM than the Pixel 10 Pro. Storage options are expected to include 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, with no 128GB variant this year. ALSO READ: WhatsApp Account Locked? Meta Reviews Multiple Accounts, Restricts Access For 24 Hours Google Pixel 11 Pro Camera Photography could remain one of the biggest selling points of the Pixel 11 Pro. Leaks indicate a triple-camera setup led by a 50-megapixel primary camera featuring a new sensor reportedly codenamed "bastet". This could be accompanied by a 48-megapixel Sony IMX858 ultrawide camera with macro support. The third camera is tipped to be a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor, reportedly codenamed "barghest", supporting 5x optical zoom and digital zoom of up to 120x. Google could offer optical-quality zoom steps at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x. Reports currently disagree about the front camera. An accidental Amazon listing reportedly points towards a 13-megapixel selfie camera, while another leaked specification sheet mentions a 42-megapixel unit. The 13-megapixel configuration currently has support from multiple reports, but the final specification will only be known at launch. Google Pixel 11 Pro AI Camera Features Google is also expected to lean heavily on AI-powered photography and video features. The Pixel 11 Pro could introduce Night Sight Video processing directly on the device for improved recording in low-light conditions. A Cinematic Rendering Engine built into the Tensor G6 image processor is reportedly designed to improve cinematic video while reducing power consumption. Other reported features include 4K 30fps Cinematic Blur, AI-powered video relighting, simultaneous photo and video capture and an upgraded Camera Coach. A feature reportedly called "Speak-to-Tweak" could allow users to make photo edits using voice commands. The camera could also offer a dedicated 120x "moon shot" mode. Google Pixel 11 Pro Battery And Charging The Pixel 11 Pro is expected to pack a battery with a typical capacity of around 4,850mAh, with a reported minimum capacity of 4,707mAh. That would represent a marginal reduction from the Pixel 10 Pro's 4,870mAh battery. Wired charging is expected to remain at 30W using USB-C PPS, while Qi2 wireless charging could support speeds of up to 15W. Reports suggesting 45W charging appear to relate to the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL rather than the standard Pro model. Google Pixel 11 Pro Design Google is unlikely to dramatically reinvent the Pixel design with this generation. Instead, the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to refine the visual language established by its predecessor. The smartphone could measure approximately 152.7 x 71.9 x 8.4mm and weigh around 204 grams. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection and IP68 dust and water resistance are also expected. One of the more interesting reported additions is an RGB LED system integrated into the camera bar. The feature has been referred to as "Pixel Glow", while Google may reportedly market it under the "HiLight" name. The lighting system could function as both a notification indicator and a visual cue for Gemini interactions. It is expected to occupy the space previously used for the temperature sensor. Google Pixel 11 Pro Colours Leaks point towards four Pixel 11 Pro colour options: Dune, Light Fog, Midnight Haze and Pine. Dune is described as a coral-copper pink finish paired with a champagne-toned frame, while Light Fog could offer an almost white appearance with a silver frame. Midnight Haze is expected to provide a matte-black finish and could be the only colour available with 1TB storage. Pine, meanwhile, is tipped to combine a muted green rear panel with a polished gold frame. Google has not officially confirmed any of these colour names. Google Pixel 11 Pro Software And Gemini AI The Pixel 11 Pro is expected to ship with Android 17 out of the box and receive seven years of operating system and security updates. Gemini AI is likely to play an even bigger role across the device, with deeper integration into photography, editing and everyday smartphone functions expected. Reports also suggest the Pixel 11 series will not introduce the rumoured Project Toscana infrared face-unlock system. Google Pixel 11 Pro Connectivity One of the biggest upgrades may not be immediately visible. Google is reportedly replacing the Samsung Exynos modem used in previous Pixels with the MediaTek M90. FCC filings are said to indicate MediaTek modem hardware across the Pixel 11 family. The M90 supports 5G speeds of up to 12Gbps, dual-active 5G SIM functionality and satellite connectivity. Improved power efficiency could also help Google address connectivity and battery-consumption complaints associated with previous Pixel generations. Other expected connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and USB-C. The Pro model is also expected to support UWB and Thread. Google Pixel 11 Pro: What To Expect The Pixel 11 Pro appears set to be an evolutionary flagship rather than a complete redesign. Its biggest upgrades could come from the Tensor G6's 2nm architecture, the switch to a MediaTek modem, improved telephoto capabilities and Google's expanding suite of Gemini-powered features. There could be compromises, however. The base model is tipped to drop from 16GB to 12GB RAM, while battery capacity could decline marginally. With the 128GB option reportedly being discontinued, buyers may also face a higher minimum entry price. The final picture will become clearer on August 12, when Google officially unveils its next Pixel generation. Until then, specifications, prices, colours and availability beyond details explicitly confirmed by Google should be treated as leaked or reported information.

India Veteran Unhappy With Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's Treatment, Questions Selection Call

Kaif On Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif has expressed his disappointment over the way Team India introduced teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to international cricket. According to Kaif, the 15-year-old opener should have been handed his debut during India's tour of Ireland instead of being thrown into a tougher assignment in England. Kaif believes an earlier opportunity against Ireland would have helped the youngster adjust to the demands of international cricket. The former India cricketer argued that the move could have eased Sooryavanshi's nerves and allowed him to carry his domestic confidence onto the international stage. Kaif Feels Ireland Debut Would Have Eased Pressure Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaif praised Sooryavanshi's talent and pointed to the teenager's remarkable IPL campaign as proof that he was ready for international cricket. “Vaibhav is an X-factor player. He made a reputation for himself. His bat did the talking in the IPL despite him being in the spotlight. He didn't just perform in one or two matches. He won the Orange Cap." Read More: 1,317 Days & Counting: Babar Azam Run Out For 88, Test Century Wait Continues "He should have played in Ireland; the nervousness would have gone in that case. He would have reached England and performed well,” Kaif added. The former India batsman felt that exposing the youngster to international cricket in relatively less challenging conditions would have allowed him to settle before facing tougher opposition. 'Should Have Gotten Special Treatment': Kaif Mohammad Kaif further insisted that players with exceptional ability sometimes deserve a different pathway to help them succeed at the highest level. “He was having a rich vein of form behind him; he had won the Orange Cap, but you told him you serve water first." "He's a special player; you could have played him directly in Ireland. He should have gotten special treatment. If he played in Ireland, he would not have had any nervousness in the UK.” Sooryavanshi's initial stint with the Indian team proved challenging. After struggling for runs in his first few opportunities, the teenager was dropped from the squad, with Sanju Samson returning to the side. However, the young opener responded positively when given another opportunity during the Zimbabwe series. He registered his maiden international half-century, offering a glimpse of the talent that had earned him widespread praise during the IPL.

Meta CEO Zuckerberg Gets Three Days To Apologise Over PM Modi Video Removal

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology has given Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg a three-day deadline to apologise over the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's July 23 video from Facebook. The committee, chaired by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, described the removal of the Prime Minister's video as an "attack on democracy", arguing that it targeted the elected representative of 1.4 billion Indians. The controversy relates to the brief removal of a video posted by Prime Minister Modi on Instagram and later shared on Facebook before it was restored by Meta. ALSO READ | Will CJP Enter Politics? Leaders Meet In Aurangabad To Chart Next Phase After Student Movement Panel Warns Meta Over Safe Harbour Protection Addressing reporters, Dubey said the committee had written to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Ministry of Home Affairs, arguing that the removal of the Prime Minister's video was the responsibility of a publisher rather than an intermediary. "We wrote to the Ministry of IT and the Ministry of Home Affairs stating that deleting the Prime Minister's video was not the responsibility of an intermediary but that of a publisher. Therefore, Mark Zuckerberg must apologise within three days," Dubey said. He further warned that if the apology was not forthcoming, the committee would seek the withdrawal of the "safe harbour" protection currently available to social media platforms, alleging that the legal protection was being misused. Dubey also said widespread legal action could follow if people affected by objectionable content on Meta's platforms began filing police complaints. Meta Says Video Was Removed Due to Technical Glitch The video, recorded in a selfie-style format, was Prime Minister Modi's first direct address using that format. In it, he promised stringent action against paper leaks amid student protests led by the satirical Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Meta briefly restricted the Facebook version of the video before restoring it after criticism from BJP leaders and social media users. Earlier this week, the parliamentary panel questioned Meta officials over the incident. The company apologised and attributed the removal to a "technical glitch". However, MeitY rejected the explanation as "not reasonable", saying that if the incident resulted from a technical error, Meta should strengthen its systems to prevent similar lapses. ALSO READ | Big Changes Likely For NEET-UG? Online Exam, Two-Session Format Under Consideration Panel Directs Platforms to Remove CSEAM In a separate direction, the parliamentary committee asked major digital platforms—including Google, YouTube, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat—to remove Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (CSEAM) and objectionable content targeting women within three days. The panel warned that strict action could be taken against platforms that fail to comply with the directive. Meanwhile, Telangana Police have registered separate FIRs against Google and Meta. Google has been accused of hosting fraudulent financial applications, while Meta has been booked over the circulation of a fake video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Apple Kicks Off Retail Employee Lottery For Key September Product Launch

Apple has begun preparations for its flagship September product launch by opening a lottery for retail employees in the US who want to assist at the company's annual in-person unveiling. According to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg, selected employees will help manage queues, welcome guests, provide directions, assist with check-ins and support security operations during the event. While Apple has not disclosed the exact date, the company informed staff that the launch will take place in the first half of September. Traditionally, Apple unveils its new iPhone lineup on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of the month. With the US Labour Day holiday falling on September 7 this year, a Wednesday event is considered a likely possibility. Also Read: Mahindra XUV 7XO Rival Incoming: MG Hector Hawk Plug-In Hybrid Debuts Soon In the memo, Apple said it was "excited to offer US store team members the opportunity to participate in the Event Support Experience Program." The Cupertino-based technology giant declined to comment on the development. Apple has regularly relied on retail employees to support major product launches.

Mahindra XUV 7XO Rival Incoming: MG Hector Hawk Plug-In Hybrid Debuts Soon

MG will launch its new Hector Hawk plug in hybrid on the 28th of August. The Hector Hawk might have a similar name to the current Hector but is a flagship product placed above it. The new Hector Hawk will come in EV and plug in hybrid form. The Hector Hawk will also be the first new car to be based on the new architecture which MG recently showed. Powertrain and Range The new Hector Hawk will be both an EV and a plug in hybrid where the petrol engine is specially tuned for fuel efficiency. The Hector Hawk plug in hybrid powertrain will be of interest the most where it has a 1.5 litre engine and a 20.5kWh battery pack and an electric motor, which together generate 195hp and 230Nm. Importantly, the car has an all-electric range of 125km which means unlike conventional hybrid cars, the Hector Hawk plug in hybrid has more electric range which is the biggest advantage with PHEV cars. You will also need to charge it unlike strong hybrid conventional cars. The Hector Hawk EV will also get a 69.2kWh battery pack along with a 201hp, 310Nm front-mounted electric motor. Meanwhile the range comes with a claimed figure of 530km. Features and Competition The Hector Hawk will come with all of the usual features too including a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, powered tailgate and more. The launch will mean the first compact SUV to have a plug in hybrid powertrain. Expect more details to trickle in regarding the Hector Hawk soon leading upto the launch on 28th August. The main competition for the Hector Hawk is of course the Mahindra XUV 7XO which is one of the best selling SUVs in its class.

Brett Lee Finally Breaks Silence On Preity Zinta Dating Speculations After Years

Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has finally addressed the long-running rumours linking him with Bollywood actress and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta. The speculation dates back to their time together during the early years of the Indian Premier League, but Lee has now made it clear that the two have always shared only a close friendship. Brett Lee Addresses Years Of Speculation Lee represented Kings XI Punjab, now known as Punjab Kings, between 2008 and 2010 after joining the franchise during the inaugural IPL season. Zinta, one of the team's co-owners, was regularly seen supporting the side from the dugout. Their public appearances together led to repeated rumours about a possible relationship, although neither confirmed the speculation at the time. Speaking to Bombay Times, Lee has now dismissed those claims. "Here's your scoop: I never dated a Bollywood actress. Preity Zinta and I were, and still are, great friends. She was the boss of the Punjab team back then. She's an incredibly smart woman, and I have a lot of respect for her." The former fast bowler said he never felt the need to respond earlier because he always knew the truth. "Stories like that never bothered me because I always knew the truth. People can speculate all they want, but I never let it affect me." Preity Zinta Had Denied Rumours In 2010 Although Lee had remained silent for years, Zinta publicly denied the rumours during the 2010 IPL season. She had said: "I think being romantically linked to Brett every year is outdated and stale news now! So sorry to say, folks, NO NEWS here! FRIENDS yeesss." Her statement ended the speculation at the time, although the rumours continued to surface over the years. Brett Lee And Preity Zinta Moved On With Their Lives Lee married Elizabeth Kemp in 2006, and the couple had a son before separating. Their divorce was finalised in 2009. The former Australia pacer later married Lana Anderson in 2014, and the couple have two children. Zinta, meanwhile, continues to co-own Punjab Kings and remains actively involved with the IPL franchise. She is also set to return to the big screen with Batwara 1947, alongside Sunny Deol, with the film scheduled for release on August 14. Lee's latest comments finally bring clarity to one of the longest-running rumours from the IPL's early years, confirming that his relationship with Zinta has always been based on friendship rather than romance.

WATCH: Woman Clutches Chest At Maharashtra Bus Stand, Female Conductor's Split-Second Response Goes Viral

What could have ended in tragedy turned into a story of remarkable courage after a bus conductor stepped in to help a woman who suffered a medical emergency at a bus station in Maharashtra. A CCTV clip of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing the passenger seated on a bench at the Sambhaji Nagar bus stand. Moments later, the woman appears visibly distressed, shifting uneasily and clutching her chest. As bystanders realised she was allegedly suffering a heart attack, panic began to spread. A bus conductor quickly rushed to her aid and attempted to assist by rubbing her chest before administering CPR. While the woman eventually appeared to recover, the conductor's technique sparked debate online, with several social media users claiming the CPR was not performed correctly.

According to the viral post, she was subsequently taken to hospital for further treatment, reportedly in an autorickshaw after an ambulance failed to arrive in time. However, ABP News could not independently verify the claims or the authenticity of the viral post. VIDEO:  The post, shared on X by user @KailashVashi, praised the conductor, identified as Sangeeta Palve, for acting swiftly during the emergency. "When a woman suffered a heart attack at the Sambhaji Nagar bus stand, bus conductor Sangeeta Palve didn't panic—she immediately performed CPR and helped save the woman's life. An ambulance was called, but it didn't arrive in time. In the end, the woman had to be rushed to the hospital in a rickshaw. One woman's quick thinking made the difference between life and death. True heroes don't always wear uniforms—they act when every second counts," the post read.

Poco M8 Power Review: Come For The 8,000mAh Battery, Stay For The AMOLED

Poco M8 Power Review: There was a time when smartphone makers desperately wanted phones to become thinner. Every launch involved shaving another millimetre off the waistline until we collectively realised something important: nobody particularly enjoys carrying a beautiful millimetre-wide phone that starts begging for a charger by dinner. Poco has clearly received the memo. The Poco M8 Power takes the opposite route. Its headline feature is an absolutely enormous 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, accompanied by 45W charging, a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon's 4th Gen 4-series mobile platform, and a 50-megapixel main camera. It even weighs 225 grams, presumably because Poco decided subtlety was overrated. As expected, ABP Live's in-house AI review bot, GennieGPT, has spotted "8,000mAh" on the specification sheet and is currently preparing for the apocalypse. Let's find out whether there's a good smartphone hiding behind that enormous battery. ALSO READ: Poco X8 Pro Max, Poco X8 Pro Review: Poco Trades Hype For Substance, And It Works Poco M8 Power Review: Quick Pointers What Works: Mammoth 8,000mAh battery 120Hz AMOLED display 45W charger included in the box 22.5W reverse wired charging is genuinely useful Android 16 with long software support Surprisingly manageable 8.4mm thickness What Doesn't: 225 grams is properly heavy Snapdragon 4-series platform isn't meant for serious gaming 8MP selfie camera looks underwhelming on paper UFS 2.2 and LPDDR4X aren't exactly cutting-edge Regular pricing puts it in a fiercely competitive segment An 8,000mAh Power Bank That Also Makes Calls ✨ GennieGPT: 8,000mAh! EIGHT THOUSAND! Forget two-day battery life, Shayak. We're entering expedition territory. Cancel the charger. Sell the power bank. Go live in the Himalayas! Shayak: Yes, the battery is clearly the M8 Power's party trick. At 8,000mAh, you've got considerably more breathing room than with your average smartphone battery. And because Poco is using silicon-carbon technology, it has managed to cram all that capacity into an 8.4mm body. That's the impressive bit. The less impressive number is 225 grams. This isn't a phone you'll forget is sitting in your pocket. Drop it on your face while doomscrolling in bed and you'll remember Newton's contribution to science immediately. Still, I'll happily take a few extra grams if it means not hunting for plug points halfway through the day. ✨ GennieGPT: And 22.5W reverse charging! The Poco M8 Power is basically a POWER BANK! It can save other phones! Shayak: That capitalisation was unnecessary, but you're right. Reverse charging at 22.5W is more than a spec-sheet novelty here. With an 8,000mAh tank, there's actually enough capacity to rescue your earbuds, smartwatch, or a friend's dying phone without immediately regretting your generosity. Your iPhone-owning friends may finally start inviting you places. Big Screen, Big Numbers ✨ GennieGPT: AMOLED! 120Hz! 1,800 nits! DCI-P3! Eye protection! It's basically an IMAX screen that fits in your pocket! Shayak: The AMOLED panel is nevertheless one of the M8 Power's more attractive features. You get a 2396×1080 resolution, refresh rate of up to 120Hz and claimed peak brightness of 1,800 nits. In practical terms, those specifications should translate into a screen that's sharp, colourful and smooth enough for everything from Netflix to Instagram. There's also Wet Touch 2.0, an in-display fingerprint sensor and TÜV eye-protection features. See, allow me to be honest. None of those will change your life. But collectively, they make the display package feel suitably modern and surprisingly ample within the sub-25k price point. Snapdragon Enters The Chat ✨ GennieGPT: 4nm Snapdragon processor! High performance! Incredible efficiency! Gaming powerhouse incoming! Shayak: The words "Snapdragon" and "4nm" do not automatically transform a phone into a gaming monster. Poco is using Qualcomm's 4th Gen Snapdragon 4 Mobile Platform here, paired with either 6GB or 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. That should be perfectly adequate for WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, navigation, multitasking, and casual gaming. But look at the rest of the hardware. LPDDR4X. UFS 2.2. Snapdragon 4-series. This is clearly built around efficiency and everyday performance rather than chasing benchmark trophies. If you're buying it expecting a pocket-sized PlayStation because Poco once said something about gaming on stage, GennieGPT has probably written your shopping list. 50 Megapixels Of AI, Obviously ✨ GennieGPT: 50MP AI CAMERA! Artificial intelligence plus fifty million pixels! Professional photography has officially been democratised! Shayak: The main camera is a 50-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and five-element lens. That's a sensible setup, although megapixel count alone tells us very little about actual image quality. Image processing, HDR, low-light performance and shutter response will matter considerably more than that giant "50MP" printed on the box. The front is considerably less ambitious: an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Translation? Poco clearly knows which camera it wants you talking about. Six Years? Now You Have My Attention ✨ GennieGPT: HyperOS 3! Android 16! FOUR Android upgrades! SIX YEARS of security updates! The future has arrived! Shayak: You're contractually required to announce the future at least once per review, aren't you? Still, this deserves praise. Poco says the M8 Power ships with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 and gets up to four years of Android updates and six years of security updates. That matters particularly on a phone with an enormous battery. There's little point building hardware capable of lasting years if the software gets abandoned halfway through its useful life. Six years of security support makes the M8 Power's longevity argument considerably stronger. Genuinely speaking, this software claim worth getting excited about. I hope Poco doesn't make my eat my words. ALSO READ: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 First Review: Samsung Brings The Joy Back To Smartphones Poco M8 Power Review: Final Verdict The Poco M8 Power isn't pretending to be delicate. There's a huge battery underneath, plenty of presence, and absolutely no chance you'll forget you're carrying it. But the interesting part is that Poco hasn't simply bolted an enormous battery onto a mediocre phone. The 120Hz AMOLED display looks promising, software support is unusually long, 45W charging is sensible, and 22.5W reverse charging gives that 8,000mAh battery another practical purpose. The Snapdragon 4-series platform and older UFS 2.2 storage, however, reveal where the compromises have been made. And then there's the price. The 6GB+128GB version carries a sticker price of Rs 24,999, while the 8GB+128GB model costs Rs 27,999. At launch, those effectively fall to Rs 21,999 and Rs 24,999 respectively through the introductory coupon and bank discount/exchange bonus. At those launch prices, the M8 Power makes considerably more sense. Should You Buy Poco M8 Power? Yes, if battery life is your number-one priority and you want a large AMOLED display without constantly carrying a power bank. Maybe, if you want a balanced everyday phone and can get it at the introductory price. No, if high-end gaming performance, lightweight phones or cutting-edge memory and storage are high on your wishlist.

WhatsApp Account Locked? Meta Reviews Multiple Accounts, Restricts Access For 24 Hours

WhatsApp on Monday locked multiple accounts, including those belonging to users in India, as it placed them under review for up to 24 hours, temporarily blocking access to all features of the messaging platform. The sudden disruption left several users unable to use the Meta-owned app, prompting many to turn to social media to report the issue and seek assistance. Responding to the reports, a WhatsApp spokesperson said the company routinely takes action to prevent abuse of its platform but acknowledged that mistakes can occur during the process. ALSO READ | 'Zuckerberg Must Apologise Or Lose Safe Harbour': Nishikant Dubey Over PM Video Row WhatsApp Says Reviews Aim to Prevent Misuse We are always working to stay ahead of those trying to abuse our service and ban accounts to help keep other users safe," the WhatsApp spokesperson told PTI. The spokesperson added that the company sometimes makes errors while enforcing its policies. "Sometimes we get this wrong and if we do, we try to fix it as quickly as possible to get people back to chatting," the spokesperson said. Users Encounter 'Account in Review' Message The issue began surfacing around 8 pm IST, when users reported losing access to WhatsApp without receiving any prior warning. Affected users saw a message on the app stating: "Account in review. Date requested: 3 Aug 2026. Your account activity and device info is being checked to make sure it follows our terms of service. We will notify you of the result typically within 24 hours." The notification also included options to learn more about account-related issues, including guidance on using WhatsApp responsibly and information about stolen phones and compromised accounts.

One user wrote: "My WhatsApp account has been disabled without any explanation. I have already submitted an appeal, but the review page only displays a generic message stating that it will 'typically be reviewed within 24 hours.' Help me urgently." Another user, posting from an X account named Saloni, said: "My WhatsApp account was suddenly disabled without any warning. I only use the official app, and my work depends on WhatsApp. Please help. This was so unnecessary."
