West Indies Star Cricketer Accused Of Sexual Assault, Rape By 11 Women: Report
An unnamed West Indies men's cricketer has been accused of several counts of sexual assault, sexual harrasment and rape, as per reports in West Indies-based media outlets. According to a video report by Caribbean-based SportsMax TV, the cricketer in question is from Guyana and is a part of the current national team setup. Further information in the video report states that the cricketer has been accused by at least 11 women. However, no charge has been filed as of yet against the cricketer. Cricket West Indies (CWI) has also refused to comment on the matter.
The report appears to have emerged originally from Guyana-based newspaper Kaieteur Sports. The report further contained this revelation:
"I have heard accounts from no fewer than eleven women, one of them a teenager, who allege that they have been sexually assaulted, raped, or subjected to unwanted sexual advances by him."

As per the subsequent video report, there have also allegedly been significant attempts to cover up the player and his actions.
SportsMax TV, which made the video report, reached out to Cricket West Indies asking whether they were aware of the matter, whether there was any investigation in place, and whether there were any attempts to cover-up. This was the response:
"Cricket West Indies is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time," CWI President Kishore Shallow was quoted as saying, in the report.
As per lawyer Nigel Hughes - who was reached out to by one of the alleged victims two years ago - the player was part of the West Indies squad that famously beat Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane in January 2024.
Hughes stated that no charges have been filed against the cricketer by the victims. He also claimed that talk regarding the player's actions died down after he returned to Guyana from the tour of Australia. However, enquiries as recent as a day or two ago have taken place regarding the matter.
Hughes also stated that the cricketer received a "hero's welcome" upon returning to Guyana following the West Indies' victory in Australia a year ago.

After Umpiring Controversy vs Australia, West Indies Captain Demands Harsh Punishment: "Blatant..."
West Indies crashed to a heavy 159-run defeat to Australia on Day 3 of their first Test at Bridgetown, Barbados. Having taken a first innings lead of 10 runs, West Indies were made to pay by the Australian middle order, with Travis Head, Beau Webster and Alex Carey all slamming half-centuries. It marked defeat for West Indies just one day after they were left agonised by some controversial umpiring calls. Captain Roston Chase also slammed the umpiring decisions and called for action to be taken against them. On Day 2, Chase and West Indies wicket-keeper batter Shai Hope were both given out in rather controversial circumstances by the third umpire Adrian Holdstock. Chase was given out leg-before-wicket (LBW) despite the ball seemingly having taken an edge off the bat before hitting him on the pads. On the other hand, Shai Hope was given out caught behind despite the ball appearing to have hit the ground while being taken by Australian wicket-keeper Alex Carey. Both Chase and Hope were well-set in the forties when they were controversially given out, meaning that West Indies could not stretch their lead much. Chase did not hide his frustration regarding the umpires after the match. "This game is a frustrating one for me and for the team. There were so many questionable calls in the game, and none of them went our way," Chase said. "As a player, you're out there, you're giving your all, you're fighting, but nothing is going your way. It could be heartbreaking. Me and Shai Hope were going well and then, obviously, we had some questionable calls. That really set us back in terms of creating a big lead on the total that Australia set," Chase said. "It's clear to see anyone would feel bad or feel hurt about those decisions. You're out there playing to win, giving it your all, and it seems like everyone is against you. It's frustrating because as players, when we mess up, when we get out of line, we're penalised harshly. "But the officials, nothing ever happens to them. They just have a wrong decision or questionable decision, and life just goes on," Chase added. "You're talking about guys' careers. One bad decision could make or break a guy's career. I just think that it should be an even playground in terms of when players step out of line, they're penalised. I think that there should be some penalty put in place when you have blatant decisions going against you." Chase further stated. West Indies were skittled out for just 141 in their second innings, falling well short of the target of 301.

Act Of 'Revenge': 3 Arrested For Poisoning Tigress, 4 Cubs In Karnataka
Bengaluru: The death of a tigress and her four cubs in this district has turned out to be a case of apparent revenge by a man whose cow was preyed upon by wild animals, Forest authorities said on Saturday. Three people, including the owner of the dead cow sprayed upon with poison and consumed by the wild cats, were arrested on Saturday in connection with the incident that happened in the Hugyam forest range of Male Mahadeshwara Hills, police said. The big cats were found dead on Thursday, and subsequent investigation revealed they were poisoned. The incidenr had created a furore in the state. The breakthrough came after the carcass of a poisoned cow belonging to Maada alias Maaduraju was found. According to Forest officials, Maaduraju was reportedly enraged after his cow named 'Kenchi' was killed upon by wild animals. To avenge the loss, he sprayed poison on the cow's carcass. His friends Konappa and Nagaraju too were allegedly part of the conspiracy. The tigress, which had initially feasted on the dead cow, later returned with her cubs to feed on it again and died after ingesting the poison, Forest sources said. All three suspects have been taken to Meenyam-based 'Aranya Bhavan' in Hanuru Taluk for further interrogation. During the investigation, Maaduraju's father Shivanna approached the police claiming that he was responsible for the death of the big cats. However, he was let off after the investigation revealed his son's alleged involvement. The incident had triggered widespread public outrage and political blame games, with the opposition BJP accusing the government of "negligence" in protecting wildlife. While Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had indicated action after receiving a report on the matter, State Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre had said no one will be spared. According to the latest report of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Karnataka has 563 tigers, the second highest in the country after Madhya Pradesh.
