    Man asks police to put him behind bars to escape ‘unbearable’ life with wife

    A man under house arrest in Italy went to a police barrack and asked them to put him behind bars because life with his wife at home was unbearable, the police said Sunday.

    As per reports, the 30-year-old Albanian citizen “was no longer able to cope with the forced cohabitation with his wife”, the Carabinieri police said in a statement.

    “Exasperated by the situation, he preferred to escape, spontaneously presenting himself to the Carabinieri to ask to serve his sentence behind bars,” they wrote.

    The man had been under house arrest for drug crimes for several months and had a few years left to serve, an official Captain Francesco Giacomo told AFP.

    “He lived at home with his wife and family. It wasn’t going well anymore,” Ferrante said.

    “He said, ‘Listen, my domestic life has become hell, I can’t do it anymore, I want to go to jail.’

    The man was immidiately arrested for violating his house arrest and judicial authorities ordered his transfer to prison.

  • ‘Bardashat Karo’, fiery Twitter exchange between Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh

    ‘Bardashat Karo’, fiery Twitter exchange between Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh

    Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar taunted Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh by recalling Singh’s ‘walkover’ remark that he gave a few days before the iconic clash between Pakistan and India. In the remark, Singh said that ‘Pakistan should give India a walkover’, hinting that Pakistan will lose to India.

    After Pakistan crushed India, Shoaib was quick to tease Singh by tagging him in a tweet.

    Shoaib, in a video message that was addressed to Harbhajan, said “Haan Bhajji? Harbhajan Singh. Walkover lena hai? Nahi lena? Acha. Chalo, kya karsakte hain yar. Relax yar, enjoy the day. And, bardasht karo (Harbhajan Singh. Do you still want a walkover? No? Okay. Well, what can one do? Relax, enjoy the day. And, bear with it).”

    ‘This is for you’: Babar Azam dedicates the win to Pakistani fans

    Pakistani captain Babar Azam has dedicated the historic win against India to his fans.

    Taking to Twitter, he shared pictures of the winning moments and wrote: “This is for you, Pakistan. History made. All eyes on the next game, In Sha Allah #PakistanZindabad.”

    Babar and Mohammad Rizwan’s 152-run partnership for Pakistan was not just a match-winning stand, but also the biggest opening partnership in the history of the Men’s T20 World Cup and Pakistan’s second-biggest partnership in a T20I for any wicket.

    Azam and Rizwan’s combined efforts overtook Chris Gayle and Devon Smith’s 145 against South Africa in 2007 as the top opening stand in Men’s T20 World Cups.

    Speaking after the match, Azam explained how he and his partner approached the record run-chase.

    “The plan with Rizwan is always to keep it simple,” he said. “We tried to get deep in the crease and from about the eighth over the dew came in and the ball came on nicely.

    “This is just the start, we have confidence to build on now. It will remain match by match for us.

    “The pressure on us wasn’t that much – we weren’t thinking of the record against India at all. I only wanted to back all our players who’ve been preparing well.”

    Meanwhile, Azam and Rizwan’s 152 is the second biggest partnership for any wicket in Men’s T20 World Cup history, 14 runs shy of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene’s extraordinary 166 against West Indies in 2010.

    The partnership is also the biggest for any wicket in a T20I against India, and consigned India to their first-ever ten-wicket defeat in T20s.

    Shaheen Shah Afridi also bagged three big Indian wickets on a big night. For his performance with the ball, Afridi got Player of the Match award.

    Other team members also took to the social media to express their happiness:

    Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is in Saudi Arabia, was also watching the match and later took to Twitter to share the picture and congratulated Pakistan for this historic win.

    Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Qamar Javed Bajwa also congratulated the team for the “outstanding performance and comprehensive win against India.”

    Beating India by 10 wickets, Pakistan is eyeing its next victory in the match against New Zealand on Tuesday.

  • ‘Have fallen in true love only once in life’: Shahroz Sabzwari makes shocking revelations

    ‘Have fallen in true love only once in life’: Shahroz Sabzwari makes shocking revelations

    Actor Shahroz Sabzwari appeared on Wasim Badami’s show, Har Lamha Purjosh for the ‘Masoomana Sawaal’ segment. The Nand star stated on the show that true love can only happen once in life and he believes that its a reality of life.

    This statement of Shahroz surprised anchorperson Waseem Badami who asked him again that it means he has only fallen in true love only once? To which he replied that it’s true he has only been in love once, the star maintained a smile on his face while answering this question.

    Shahroz married supermodel Sadaf Kanwal in 2020 after parting ways with his ex-wife Syra Yousuf whom he has a daughter with, Nooreh.

    Earlier this year he took to his Instagram stories to express his gratitude on not being a Liberal. He even tagged his wife Sadaf in the post.

    In August 2021, the Chain Aye Na hero garnered polarising opinions for his statement on Nida Yasir’s show. He stated that every brother should be like his character Saqib from Nand in real life.

    The character slaps and divorces his wife (essayed by Minal Khan) because his sister had issues with her. Shahroze believes that men should prioritize siblings over spouse.
