Major scuffle breaks out between players of India and Pakistan during SAFF match
A highly intense SAFF Cup 2023 encounter between the national football teams of India and Pakistan took a tumultuous turn on Wednesday as a major scuffle broke out just before the half-time whistle in Bengaluru.
The incident unfolded as India swiftly secured a 2-0 lead within the first 16 minutes, courtesy of an impressive brace by their captain, Sunil Chhetri.
Tensions escalated between the players when India's coach, Igor Stimac, struck the ball with his right hand, impeding a Pakistan player's attempt to take a throw-in. This action ignited a heated argument between members of both teams, which quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
Referees promptly intervened to separate the players on the field, restoring order and allowing the match to resume.
As a consequence of his involvement, Stimac was shown a red card by the officials, signaling his expulsion from the match. Additionally, Pakistan's coach received a yellow card for his role in the on-field altercation.

Excise policy 'scam': HC asks CBI, ED to respond to Sisodia’s pleas for bail
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Friday sought response of the CBI and ED on former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia’s pleas seeking bail in the corruption and money laundering cases lodged in relation to the alleged excise policy scam.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notices to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sisodia’s pleas challenging a trial court’s April 30 order by which his bail petitions were dismissed.
The high court listed the matter for further hearing on May 8.
Sisodia, in an interim application, urged the court to continue the trial court’s order allowing him to meet his ailing wife once a week in custody, during pendency of his pleas.
As the counsel for the ED submitted that the probe agency has no objection if the trial court order is continued, Justice Sharma allowed the request.
The trial court had dismissed Sisodia's bail pleas in the corruption and money-laundering cases lodged by the CBI and ED respectively in connection with alleged irregularities in the formulation and execution of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
