NIA Special Court sentences one more accused to rigorous imprisonment in Kolkata JMB terror conspiracy case
New Delhi [India], June 19 (ANI): The Special Court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) sentenced one accused to six years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) anti-India terror conspiracy case in Kolkata on Thursday. According to a NIA press release, Najiur Rahman, Pavel and Joyram Byapari Joseph were sentenced under sections 120B, 468 & 471 of the IPC, sections 18 & 38 of the UA(P) Act, section 14A(b) of the Foreigners Act, and section 12 of the Indian Passport Act. In addition to RI, the court awarded him a fine of Rs 20,000. The STF police station at Kolkata had registered the case originally in July 2021 with regard to the illegal entry of Bangladeshi national Sk Shabbir, Joseph and others, into India. Members of JMB had hatched a conspiracy along with their unknown associates to wage a war against India by recruiting and motivating young Muslims from within India and Bangladesh. The youth were motivated to establish a 'Caliphate' by removing India's democratically elected government through use of criminal force, NIA said. NIA, which took over the case in August 2021, filed its main chargesheet against five accused persons in January 2022. All five are currently in judicial custody. Accused Rabiul Islam was convicted to five years RI and a fine of Rs. 20,000 in November 2024 in the case RC-19/2021/NIA/DLI. The trial against the remaining three accused is continuing, central agency said. (ANI)

Carlos Yulo on 2025 Asian Gymnastics Championships medal haul: ‘This comeback is personal'
Comeback is real for two-time Olympic gold medalist and gymnast Carlos Yulo. In his return to competition after the Paris Olympics last year, Yulo won one gold medal (floor exercise) and three bronze medals (individual all-around, vault) in this year's Asian Gymnastics Championships held in South Korea over the weekend. For Yulo, 'This comeback is personal.' 'I'm grateful for the chance to move again, to compete with my passion for gymnastics and to carry every lesson from the past year/s with me. This comeback is personal—it's only by grace, and with faith, patience and the right people around you, everything finds its way back,' Yulo said in his social media post on Sunday. According to Yulo, his absence from competition where he remained silent in the last ten months led to this 'growth.' 'A lot can happen in that kind of silence—so does growth. All I prayed for coming into this competition is just to be healthy, steady and get through it safely... but, God gave me so much more than I ever wished for.' Yulo then thanked those who helped him in his journey such as his coaches and teammates. 'To everyone who's supported me through the quiet season, to God be all the glory.' Carlos' girlfriend Chloe also had good words for him after his competition. 'Thank you for showing the world what quiet strength and unwavering dedication look like. And I thank the universe every day for the blessing of witnessing your journey up close,' she wrote in her post. Carlos' younger brother Eldrew also copped silver in the vault finals of the juniors tourney. —Justin Kenneth Carandang/JMB, GMA Integrated News

Mikee Romero made history for the Philippines again after ranking as the 6th overall player in the United States Polo Rankings last April. The Filipino athlete collected 130 points to barge into the top ten just weeks after he rose to 24th overall in the World Polo Tour (WPT) amateur rankings, which allowed him to become the highest Southeast Asian player. Romero's rise to top 6 now sees him in an elite company with some of the powerhouse names in polo. Tomas Panelo is at No. 1 with 205 points while Juan Martín Nero and Adolfo Cambiaso occupy the second and third spots. Barto Castagnola and Alejandro Poma are tied at fourth spot with their identical 140 points. Romero's polo pony, Niki, also earned recognition after it was included in joint number one in polo horse ranking in the United States alongside Nero's Catwoman, Grant Ganzi's Girl Power, and La Dolfina Binter and La Dolfina Jetcost of Cambiaso. "This is a deeply meaningful moment. To stand among the best players in the U.S. and to see Niki recognized beside the finest horses in the world is a tribute to the effort, preparation, and heart that went into every game," said Romero. —Bea Micaller/JMB, GMA Integrated News

Alas Pilipinas falls to unbeaten Iran for first loss in AVC Nations Cup
Alas Pilipinas faltered late against the resilient Iran to absorb its first loss in the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup, 25-16, 21-25, 26-24, 23-25, 13-15, on Monday at the Dong anh Gymnasium in Vietnam. Enjoying a 2-1 set lead, the Filipinas mounted a huge comeback attempt in the fourth set with Shaina Nitura and Vanie Gandler providing the spark off the bench as they erased an early four-point deficit and turned it into just an 18-19 disadvantage. Nitura's single block on Shagi Hassankhani even tied things up at 22-all before an attack error from Angel Canino saw Iran taking the set point at 24-22. Fatemah Khalil then sent a strong kill to the newly-subbed Julia Coronel to drag the Philippines to a deciding set. Nitura continued to shine for Alas as the reigning UAAP Rookie of the Year fueled a 4-0 run, putting the roof on Masoumeh Masi before hitting one from the left side off a Bella Belen setup to give Alas a crucial 11-9 cushion. The Philippines, however, committed back-to-back errors that allowed Iran to force an 11-all deadlock. A Dell Palomata quick and a much-needed service ace from Gandler then had the Filipinas enjoying a 13-11 lead. But Alas collapsed in the endgame with Zahra Salehi denying Nitura and Canino committing another attack error, paving the way for Iran's match point at 14-13. Zahra put the exclamation by shutting down the opposite attack from Canino as the Iranians remained unbeaten at 3-0. Canino still emerged as the top scorer for the Philippines with 20 points anchored on 17 attacks, two blocks, and one ace while Laure and Palomata chipped in 16 and 10 markers. Alas fell to a 2-1 card and is now at third place in Pool B. They need to beat two powerhouse clubs in New Zealand on Wednesday and Kazakhstan on Thursday to bolster its contention. Only the top two teams in the two pools will advance to the crossover semifinals with the champions clinching a ticket to the 2026 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
