Ed Sheeran’s surprise jamming session on Church Street, Bengaluru, was halted by local police due to lack of permission.
On February 8, 2025, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, renowned for hits like “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” was reportedly involved in an impromptu jamming session on Bengaluru’s iconic Church Street ahead of his scheduled concert at NICE Grounds. The spontaneous performance, however, was abruptly halted by local police due to the absence of official permission for such a gathering.
Videos of the incident quickly circulated on social media, eliciting a wave of reactions from fans and netizens. Many expressed disappointment over the interruption, emphasizing the missed opportunity to witness an informal performance by a global music icon. Comments highlighted sentiments such as, “It’s disheartening to see such enthusiasm curbed,” and “A rare chance for fans to connect with Ed Sheeran in an intimate setting was lost.”
The Bengaluru City Police clarified their stance, stating that while they hold immense respect for artists and their contributions, public performances, especially those attracting large crowds, require prior authorization to ensure safety and order. An official remarked, “Our primary concern is the safety of both the artist and the public. Unauthorized gatherings can pose significant challenges in crowd management and security.”

Rohit Sharma joined legendary MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli in an elite list of Indian captains on Sunday, February 9, by becoming the eighth cricketer to lead the Men in Blue in 50 ODIs matches. The second ODI of the ongoing three-match series between India and England at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack is Rohit’s 50th ODI match as India captain. In 49 ODIs played so far, Rohit has led India to win in 35 matches. His win percentage is 70.00, which is the best for any Indian who has led in 10+ matches.
Dhoni has captained India in 200 ODI matches, which is the most, and he is followed by Mohammad Azharuddin (174), Sourav Ganguly (146), Virat Kohli (95), Rahul Dravid (79), Kapil Dev (74), and Sachin Tendulkar (73).

In his special match as India captain, Rohit would like to come up with a big show with the bat and help India seal the series against England. The 37-year-old right-handed batter has been out of form for quite some time now. In the first ODI against England, he could only manage to score 2 runs from seven balls.
If India manages to beat England in the second ODI, then Rohit will break Ganguly’s record and become India’s fourth most successful captain in international cricket. Rohit has won 97 out of 135 matches played so far as Indian captain across formats. Ganguly finished his captaincy stint with 97 wins in 195 matches (Tests and ODIs combined) for India.

Directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, the film opened with a solid Rs 4 crore on Friday. Continuing its momentum, it collected Rs 5 crore on Saturday, bringing its total earnings from the re-release to Rs 9 crore in just two days. This is nearly half of what it earned in its entire original run, making it one of the biggest Bollywood re-releases. The film is currently competing with Badass Ravi Kumar and Loveyapa in theatres.
The film has dominated Hindi markets for the second consecutive day, even surpassing its original box office performance. When it first released in 2016, Sanam Teri Kasam earned Rs 8 crore in its lifetime run. However, the re-release has already exceeded that mark within just two days, thanks to its massive ticket sales, which reached approximately 3 lakh on the opening day alone.
Sanam Teri Kasam, which didn’t perform well in its original run, has made a strong comeback with its re-release on February 7. Despite other re-releases, it was the top movie on Friday.
Meanwhile, Sanam Teri Kasam 2 is also in the pipeline, and the film was announced a few weeks ago. While Harshvardhan is a part of the film, the female lead is not yet announced.

Hamas made the three hostages make a public statement before a crowd in Gaza ahead of their release. The emaciated and frail condition of the abductees sparked concern in Israel.

Hamas released three more hostages, all Israeli civilian men, on Saturday after more than 16 months in captivity. The hostages were taken for medical treatment and were reunited with their relatives as part of the fifth hostage-prisoner exchange.
However, the “frail and pale” appearance of the three hostages sparked widespread concern in Israel, who described them as “shocking”. The three hostages — Eli Sharabi, 52; Ohad Ben Ami, 56; and Or Levy, 34 — appeared very pale as armed Hamas fighters led them from a white van onto a stage set up in the town of Deir al-Balah.
Hamas fighters pointed a microphone at each of the three hostages in turn and made them make a public statement before a crowd of thousands of people, before handing them over to waiting Red Cross officials. It was the first time hostages freed during this phase of the ceasefire have been made to make public statements during their release.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “We will not accept the shocking scenes” that played out on Saturday. “We will eliminate Hamas, and we will return our hostages”, he said in a video statement, describing the militants as “monsters”.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the hostages spent “491 days of hell, starved, emaciated and pained” and were “being exploited in a cynical and cruel spectacle.”
Furthermore, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General António Guterres demanding that he “publicly condemn” Hamas “following the dire physical condition of the three Israeli hostages.”
Hostages Return In Poor Medical Health
After the hostages reunited with their families, the hospital treating them said Ohad Ben Ami had returned from Gaza in a “severe nutritional state”. and “had lost a significant amount of his body weight” after several months in captivity.
Speaking on the condition of the two other hostages, Yael Frenkel Nir, the director of Sheba Hospital, said: “The consequences of 491 long days in captivity are evident on the two returnees (Or Levy who arrived today and their medical condition is poor. This is the fourth time in the current framework that we have received returnees and the situation is more serious this time.”
Following his release, Levy’s mother Geula told Israel’s Channel 12 that she was sad to see the hostages “thin and pale” but that “slowly, slowly everything will work out”, reported CNN.
All of the three hostages were abducted during the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, that sparked the war. Sharabi and Ben Ami were both taken hostage from Kibbutz Beeri, while Levy was abducted from the Nova music festival.
Sharabi’s wife and two teenage daughters were killed during the 2023 attack, while his brother Yossi was also abducted and died in captivity. Levy’s wife was also killed during the attack. His now 3-year-old son has been cared for by relatives for the past 16 months. Levy was unaware of his wife’s death, his mother said.
Relatives of the hostages cheered, clapped and cried as they watched live footage of their loved ones being released. Or Levy’s brother Michael said his brother’s young son, Almog, was already informed his father was on his way.
“I left XXL and came back medium,” joked Ben AMi, who, according to doctors at the hospital, had lost a significant amount of weight in captivity as he reunited with his family. However, the reunions of the two other hostages were marked with grief as they came to know about the death of their loved ones.
Draped in an Israeli flag, Sharabi was welcomed with tears at Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan by his two sisters and brother, his head covered with a talith, the Jewish prayer shawl.
Israel Releases Palestinian Prisoners
Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday in the latest exchange for Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Many of them appeared emaciated and in poor health. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club reported that seven of the released prisoners required hospitalisation, citing “brutality” and mistreatment during their time in Israeli jails.
Hamas has now released a total of 16 Israeli hostages as part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, of a total of 33 promised at staggered intervals during this stage. Eight of those 33 are dead, according to the Israeli government. Hamas still holds 73 people taken from Israel.
Saturday’s swap also follows comments by President Donald Trump, suggesting the United States should take control of the Gaza Strip and remove its inhabitants, which sparked global outrage.

Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light Falls Short At DGA Awards To RaMell Ross
Payal Kapadia’s directorial All We Imagine As Light is making waves as it has bagged nominations in several award ceremonies. However, unfortunately, the film is failing to bag any trophy.

Milkipur bypolls: Political observers defined the BJP’s win as the victory of Hindutva and development formula over SP’s Picchda Dalit Alpasankhyak (PDA) strategy

The cocktail of ‘Hindutva’, ‘Katenge to Batenge’ and Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘pro development’ approach, experts say, turned out to be a game-changer in Ayodhya’s Milkipur bypoll, delivering a record-breaking 61,710-vote victory for the BJP over the Samajwadi Party (SP).
Political observers defined the BJP’s win as the victory of Hindutva and development formula over SP’s Picchda Dalit Alpasankhyak (PDA), stray cattle menace, and Constitution change issues, which failed to resonate among the masses.
With BJP’s Milkipur win, which people called a reply to the 2024 Lok Sabha Polls in which the BJP lost the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat of Ayodhya, the total bypoll score of BJP and its ally Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) is 8 out of 10. The SP has managed to win two seats.
On Milkipur, the bypolls were necessitated after the sitting MLAs were elected as MPs in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. At the Milkipur assembly constituency, Awadhesh Prasad, the SP MLA, was fielded by the party as a candidate for the Ayodhya (Faizabad) parliamentary seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha Polls. He won and became an MP, leaving the Milkipur assembly seat vacant.
The bypoll for Milkipur was originally scheduled for November along with other nine seats, but BJP leader Gorakhnath had filed a petition in the High Court challenging Prasad’s nomination and demanding its cancellation. However, he later withdrew the petition, clearing the way for the election.
भाजपा की यह प्रचण्ड विजय आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के यशस्वी मार्गदर्शन के प्रति अडिग जन विश्वास की एक झांकी है।आपके नेतृत्व में भाजपा के द्वारा किए गए सेवा, सहयोग के कार्यों के प्रति जनता का आशीर्वाद है।
The BJP registered a thumping win by winning Milkipur assembly bypolls by 61,710 votes. BJP candidate Chandrabhanu Paswan maintained a steady lead from the initial counting rounds, which only widened as the day progressed.
In the first few rounds, the contest appeared closely fought, with SP candidate Ajit Prasad trailing, but still within reach. However, by the ninth round, the BJP had established a strong lead of 25,378 votes, indicating a clear voter preference. As the counting continued, the gap widened significantly – by the 10th round, the BJP led by 28,595 votes, and by the 13th round, the lead had surged past 36,810 votes.
After 17 rounds, the BJP’s dominance became more apparent, as Paswan’s lead crossed 42,886 votes. By the 29th round, the BJP had cemented an unassailable margin of 60,297 votes, with Paswan securing 1,43,558 votes against Prasad’s 82,592 votes.
AYODHYA CHOOSES DEVELOPMENT
The BJP’s historic win triggered reactions across the political circle in UP, with minister OP Rajbhar highlighting the electorate’s preference for development initiatives and said people of Ayodhya and Milkipur have chosen development and UP CM Yogi Adityanath once again. “I had already said earlier that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate will win with a majority. The public wants development and they are happy with the work of Yogi ji,” said Rajbhar on BJP’s victory.
BJP MP Dinesh Sharma interpreted the outcome as a clear rejection of the SP’s political dominance, citing increasing leads in each successive round of counting. Similarly, BJP leaders have portrayed this electoral success as validation of their governance model, promising cleaner rivers and development under their administration.
SP BLAMES MALPRACTICES
SP leaders such as Akhilesh Yadav and MP Awadhesh Prasad have criticised the electoral process, alleging malpractices and mismanagement. The MP accused the BJP of unethical conduct, predicting a historical victory for SP’s Ajit Prasad despite the current deficit. Congress leader Sanjay Tiwari described it as a compromised electoral process detrimental to democracy.

Political analysts see the BJP’s resounding victory in Milkipur as a triumph of Hindutva and development over SP’s PDA formula and issues such as Constitutional changes and stray cattle. “Multiple factors contributed to BJP’s win – it was a cocktail of Hindutva politics, development, and the sentiment of ‘Katenge to Batenge,” said senior journalist and political observer Balram Tiwari. “CM Yogi Adityanath led from the front, emphasising development. As Milkipur has long remained with the opposition, voters felt aligning with the ruling party would bring the constituency into the mainstream of development,” pointed out Tiwari.
CASTE DYNAMICS THAT TURNED THE TIDE
While SP’s PDA strategy and concerns over Constitutional changes failed to resonate, the BJP effectively consolidated caste support. Unlike the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the OBC and Dalit votes largely favoured SP’s Awadhesh Prasad, this time, Brahmins and Thakurs united behind the BJP. Other backward castes like Chaurasiyas and Pals also shifted towards BJP, while Dalit votes split into three parts, with two favouring the BJP and one going to Azad Samaj Party. Milkipur has around 3.5 lakh voters, including 1 lakh Dalits, 80,000 Yadavs and Muslims, and 1 lakh Brahmins and Thakurs. Observers called Adityanath’s management perfect.

Milkipur bypolls, political analysts say, was no less than a battle of prestige for the BJP, especially after it lost the Ayodhya Lok Sabha seat to the SP in the recent 2024 Lok Sabha Polls. Hence, the saffron party was desperately eyeing this Dalit-dominated assembly seat to avenge its defeat. It is the main reason why the Yogi led BJP Government was in no mood to take any chances.
Adityanath himself took charge of the BJP’s campaign, visiting Milkipur six times in the past six months. The BJP’s campaign machinery was pressed in, deploying six senior ministers, including Swatantra Dev Singh, Surya Pratap Shahi, JPS Rathore, and Girish Yadav, alongside 40+ MLAs to spearhead a booth-level strategy.
Party insiders said the BJP’s campaign included over 1,000 public meetings and ‘chaupals’ to engage with different voter groups, door-to-door outreach programmes led by party functionaries, and a special focus on Dalit and Brahmin outreach to counter SP’s PDA strategy.
Adityanath has repeatedly drawn comparisons with the Kundarki bypoll in Moradabad, where a division in Muslim votes helped the BJP clinch a surprise victory in 2024. Some party insiders said the party replicated the similar caste realignments in Milkipur by aggressively courting Dalit voters, particularly Pasis, who hold sway in the constituency.
Another crucial aspect of the BJP’s strategy is the development narrative. The Yogi government also launched projects worth Rs 1,000 crore in Milkipur, focusing on infrastructure, employment, and welfare schemes.

Two-time Olympic medallist shuttler PV Sindhu will not be part of India’s squad for the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships (BAMTC) to be played in Qingdao, China, from February 11-16. Sindhu revealed that she sustained a hamstring injury that will take longer to recover than expected.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share I won’t be travelling with the team for BAMTC 2025. While training on the 4th in Guwahati, I felt a twinge in my hamstring.

India secured a bronze medal in the previous edition of the BAMTC, with Sindhu playing a key role in the squad. She was expected to lead the women’s singles charge once again this year. However, ahead of the India Open, Sindhu had emphasised that one of her main goals for the year was to remain injury-free.
With Sindhu unavailable, the responsibility for women’s singles is likely to fall on Malvika Bansod, currently India’s No. 2 in the world rankings. It remains uncertain whether a replacement will be named for Sindhu.
India have been placed in Group D of BAMTC, alongside 2023 runners-up South Korea and Macau. The team will begin their campaign against Macau on February 12, followed by a crucial encounter against South Korea on February 13 at the Conson Gymnasium in Qingdao, China.
