The founder of India’s Sahara Group, Subrata Roy, passed away in Mumbai at the age of 75. Roy, known as Sahara Shree, had been under care at a private hospital for an extended period. His mortal remains are set to be transported to Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, for final ceremonies.
According to an official statement from the company, Subrata Roy succumbed to cardiorespiratory arrest at 10:30 pm, following complications related to metastatic cancer, hypertension, and diabetes. He had been admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute on Sunday as his health deteriorated.
Subrata Roy’s legacy is characterized by both wealth and complexity, leaving behind a mix of triumphs, controversies, and strategic decisions that have not only shaped his life but also raised questions about business, legality, and the pursuit of a global identity.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior in Pakistan has implemented a nationwide ban on the sale of arms, as confirmed by an official notification.
According to the Ministry, the sale of arms is restricted to the Pakistan Ordinance Factory, and dealer receipts are not considered valid. The ban specifically prohibits arms dealers from selling weapons classified as a banned bore.
As outlined in the notification, arms dealers are not permitted to sell prohibited bore arms to license holders. License holders are exclusively allowed to procure arms from the Pakistan Ordinance Factory.
Furthermore, the license issued will be applicable only for arms acquired from the Pakistan Ordinance Factory, and no arms licenses will be granted for purchases from any dealer other than the Pakistan Ordinance Factory. This measure seems to be aimed at centralizing and regulating the arms trade to enhance control and security in the distribution and sale of firearms.
