Pakistan Blocks India Today Website For Insulting Army Chief

Pakistan has blocked India Today websites in the country for publishing a humiliating picture of its Army chief General Raheel Sharif.

Earlier this month, the court had disposed of the petition seeking a...

Gawker.com to Shut Down Next Week

U.S. internet publisher Gawker Media Group said on Thursday that it would shut down Gawker.com next week, ending the online news and gossip website's 14-year run.

Myntra Does a U-turn, To Re-Launch Website From June 1

A year after going app-only, fashion e-tailer Myntra will now launch again its desktop website on June 1.
