Death of horses at Jabalpur farm: MP HC seeks detailed report from collector by Jun 25
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf directed the district collector to file a report with regard to the physical condition of each of the horses along with a report on the environment in which they have been kept as well as availability of food, water and shelter. Three horses had died at the farm in the last few days, while eight had died in May reportedly due to heat. Jabalpur, Jun 20 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday directed the Jabalpur district collector to file a report by June 25 on the condition of horses kept in a farm in Raipura village. The collector shall also file a status report with regard to the horses that have died and the reasons for their death, the bench said. The court issued the direction while hearing of a petition filed by Jabalpur-based animal activist Simran Issar alleging that one Sachin Tiwari brought 49 horses from HithaNet India Private Limited in Telangana capital Hyderabad and had kept them without documents pertaining to ownership, vaccination, medical history etc. 'Sachin Tiwari has been made respondent in the petition for illegally transporting horses from Hyderabad to Jabalpur in violation of provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act. Sachin Tiwari is associated with Suresh Paladugu of HithaNet India Private Limited,' the petitioner's counsel Umesh Tripathi told PTI. HithaNet India Private Limited started an online horse racing betting venture exclusively for Philippines that it ran from Hyderabad Race Club under the title of UnThose Matchup Racing in October 2023, Tripathi said. Jabalpur collector Deepak Saxena had told reporters on June 19 that a committee had been formed under the chairmanship of the district panchayat chief executive officer to find out whether proper care was being taken of horses.

MPL: Jabalpur Royal Lions secure crucial win over Rewa Jaguars
Bhopal: Jabalpur Royal Lions secured a crucial victory against Rewa Jaguars, winning by 21 runs in the 16th match of the Madhya Pradesh League 2025. This second win of the season elevated Jabalpur to five points from five matches. Despite suffering their first defeat, Rewa maintained their top position with seven points from five matches. Jabalpur posted 185/6, whilst Rewa managed 164/6 in response. Jabalpur's innings began shakily, losing both openers before reaching 20 runs. A crucial 51-run partnership between Siddharth Patidar and Abhishek Bhandari steadied the innings. Patidar contributed 51 runs from 36 deliveries. At the start of the 17th over, Jabalpur were struggling at 116/6, requiring a substantial finish. Hrithik Tada and Sanjog provided the necessary impetus in the final four overs. Tada remained unbeaten on 45 from 22 balls, striking four boundaries and three sixes. Sanjog's unbeaten 36 from 14 deliveries included three fours and three sixes, helping reach the final total. Rewa's chase began promisingly with a 46-run opening stand. However, the required run rate gradually mounted. Prithviraj Singh Tomar's innings lost momentum after a bright start of 42 runs from 24 balls, eventually finishing with 52 from 41 deliveries. Mukul Raghav's valiant effort of 42 not out from 28 balls proved insufficient. Saransh Surana excelled with the ball for Rewa, claiming four wickets, but failed to contribute with the bat. Jabalpur's left-arm quick Pankaj Patel played a decisive role, securing four wickets to ensure victory for his side.
