Priyanka Chopra hugs Karan Johar at NMACC event amid tiff rumours

[ad_1]
Mumbai: It’s Bollywood and anything can happen here! Days, after Priyanka Chopra opened up about her experience of having ‘beef with people’ which eventually led to her exit from Bollywood, the ‘Fashion’ actor, was seen greeting and hugging Karan Johar at the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai.
Several videos posted by the paps surfaced online where Priyanka was seen hugging Karan Johar. They even talked for a few minutes and shared laughs as well. Though Priyanka did not take anyone’s name in particular, it was Kangana Ranaut who mentioned Karan Johar in her tweet, who “made Priyanka leave India.”
In the video, Priyanka and Nick were talking to Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Later Karan Johar joined them. Priyanka looked ravishing in a beige sheer gown with a cape. She was one of those celebs at the event, whose style statement became the talking point.
A few days before, during a conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast ‘Armchair Expert’, Priyanka Chopra revealed why she started looking for work in the US, saying, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, and I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”
Reacting to her confession, Kangana posted on Twitter, “Media wrote extensively about her fall out with Karan Johar because of her friendship with SRK and movie mafia Cruella who is always looking for vulnerable outsiders saw a perfect punching bag in PC and went all out in harassing her to a point where she had to leave India.”
Apart from Deepika-Ranveer, Priyanka-Nick, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt and many more celebs and prominent names from glamour, sports and the world of politics attended the NMACC event on Friday.

AP: YSRCP’s Vikram Reddy refutes rumours of leaving party

[ad_1]
Nellore: A YSR Congress MLA related to a recently suspended legislator from the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh refuted rumours that he was leaving the party out of dissatisfaction.
Atmakuru MLA Mekapati Vikram Reddy said he does not bother about such rumours and asserted that his journey is with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He expressed confidence that the YSRCP will win all the seats in Nellore district in the next assembly elections.
Vikram Reddy reminded that his family has been associated with Jagan Mohan Reddy for a long time and observed that his father Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy had even resigned his MP seat twice in support of the former.
“Even after the untimely death of my brother Goutham, he (Jagan) called us and gave that seat (Goutham’s) to us. The vacuum of my brother’s loss has been filled by him. For any help, I always approach Jagan anna first,” said Vikram Reddy in a TV interview.
He reasoned that his uncle, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy, who was suspended for allegedly cross-voting in the recent MLC polls, will come to know his true power if he leaves YSRCP.
Referring to his uncle, Vikram Reddy said action will be taken against anybody who violates the party line.
Recently, the YSRCP suspended four MLAs — Anam Ramnarayan Reddy, Undavalli Sridevi, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy and Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy — for allegedly voting in favour of the TDP in the MLA quota MLC election.

UP: 9 booked for spreading rumours about Kashi Vishwanath temple

[ad_1]
Varanasi: A case has been registered against nine persons for allegedly spreading rumours that the Kashi Vishwanath (KV) temple administration was charging a fee for ‘sparsh darshan’ of the presiding deity.
The police spokesman said that an FIR has been lodged under sections 153-A (disturbing communal harmony), 295 (insulting religion) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, and the relevant sections of the IT Act on the basis of a complaint filed by temple official Arvind Shukla.
According to the complainant, a few persons visited the temple on March 2, a day before ‘Rangbhari Ekadashi’.
As one of them, Ajay Sharma, donated Rs 500 to the temple, he was given a donation slip at the temple’s counter located on the premises of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust, a police official said.
A picture of the slip was posted on a social media platform, which was shared multiple times, thus creating the rumour, the complainant said.
Giving a clarification, the temple administration said no fee was being charged from devotees for ‘sparsh darshan’.

‘Rumours’, says Tejashwi on ED claims of Rs 600 cr ‘proceeds of crime’

[ad_1]
Patna: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has dubbed as “rumours” the claim of the Enforcement Directorate that proceeds of crime amounting to Rs 600 crore were detected during searches on premises owned by him and close family members.
The RJD leader, who is currently away in Delhi, also said the BJP will be left embarrassed if he made public the “panchnama” (seizure list) signed after the raids.
“Just recall, in 2007, transactions worth Rs 8,000 crore, including a mall and hundreds of land plots, were alleged,” tweeted Yadav, in an obvious reference to the land-for-hotels ‘scam’ pertaining to his father Lalu Prasad’s tenure as the railway minister.
Now facing the heat in the land-for-jobs ‘scam’ pertaining to, roughly, the same period, Yadav also recalled his name being linked to a mall seized in Gurugram, which turned out to be owned by a private company.
The RJD had threatened legal action against media outlets for “wrongly” reporting that Yadav, the party supremo’s son and heir apparent, owned the commercial establishment.
“The BJP government (at the Centre) spreading rumours again, quoting sources. It should have asked its spin doctors to first settle the account on the previous operations, before coming up with the new tale of Rs 600 crore,” Yadav said.
The ED had on Saturday said it seized “unaccounted cash” of Rs 1 crore and “detected proceeds of crime worth Rs 600 crore” after it raided RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s family in connection with a money laundering case linked to the railways land-for-jobs ‘scam’.
“Let them make public the ‘panchnama’ (seizure list) signed after the raids. If we do so on our own, think of the embarrassment that these BJP leaders will have to face,” added Yadav.

The ED had launched raids on Friday at multiple locations linked to Prasad’s family members, including that of his son Tejashwi in Delhi.
The CBI had also recently questioned Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi — former chief ministers of Bihar — in the case.

BJP spread rumours about attacks on Bihari migrants in Tamil Nadu: JD(U)

[ad_1]
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) on Thursday charged the BJP with spreading “rumours” of attacks on migrant workers in Tamil Nadu with an eye on “electoral gains”.
JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan also said that though his party did not favour criticising the country on foreign soil, it felt that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was well within his rights to express his anxieties about “threats to democracy in India” during his Cambridge tour.
“It has turned out that nothing had happened in Tamil Nadu. And just look at the people who have been booked and arrested for spreading rumours”, said the JD(U) chief, referring to cases being lodged against a number of BJP leaders by the DMK government in the southern state.
“So, this is the character of the BJP. Rumour-mongering, and coercion of parties opposed to it, all for electoral gains. But it is making a mistake. People of the country are now conscious enough to see through their designs”, said the JD(U) president, whose party snapped ties with the saffron party less than a year ago.
Asked about the controversy triggered by Rahul Gandhi’s remarks abroad, Lalan, whose party is now aligned with the Congress, said “we believe the problems in the country are best discussed on the home soil, which offers a very large stage. We do not think one’s own country should be criticised on foreign soil”,
The JD(U) national president, however, hastened to add “we also hold that Rahul Gandhi is well within his rights to express his anxieties about the threats to democracy in India. And the threats are, indeed, real. This is a fact borne out by the Supreme Court’s recent judgement on the appointment of Election Commissioners”.
He also sought to make light of speculations that Chirag Paswan, a known detractor of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and Upendra Kushwaha, who recently rebelled against the JD(U) supreme leader and quit the party, were likely to join the BJP-led NDA.
“Just recall the 2015 assembly polls when these people were very much with the BJP. They performed dismally”, Lalan said referring to the high-decibel elections which saw the NDA being trounced by the Mahagathbandhan'(Grand Alliance) that had come into being with Nitish Kumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad and the Congress joining hands.

He also said that the BJP’s jod tod’ (attempts to split other parties) was at work in Nagaland where the lone JD(U) MLA ended up offering support to the newly formed government of which the saffron party was a part.
“Since we hold that we can have no relationship with the BJP, we held the Nagaland unit guilty of gross indiscipline and decided to dissolve it. The BJP had earlier broken away our MLAs in Arunachal, too. In Bihar, they wanted to do to us what they had succeeded in doing in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. But we got wind of their plans in time”, alleged Lalan, referring to last year’s upheaval.
“The BJP has no scruples. Its sole concern is power. Just look at Meghalaya where they had been accusing the government of being the most corrupt. Now the same dispensation has returned to power and the BJP’s top leaders flew down to attend the oath-taking ceremony”, said the JD(U) chief.
“The BJP has had no achievement to showcase despite having been in power at the Centre for so many years. Everywhere it keeps talking about the Ujjwala Yojana, which has been a failure as expensive gas cylinders make it impossible for beneficiaries to go in for a refill. Another scheme they rave about is the Ayushman Bharat. They should release data of how many people have benefited from the promise of Rs five lakh health insurance cover”, demanded the JD(U) president.
The BJP is also trying to shy away from the demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee to look into allegations against the Adani group which is being accused of the biggest corporate fraud in history, the JD(U) chief said.
“On the other hand, it keeps harassing its opponents through vindictive use of agencies like CBI, ED and Income Tax department”, he alleged.

Indian-American charged for spreading false rumours about public firms

[ad_1]
New York: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US has charged Indian-American Milan Vinod Patel for spreading more than 100 false rumours about public companies to generate over $1 million in illicit trading profits.
Patel received rumours that he knew to be false from his accomplices about purported market-moving events, such as corporate mergers or acquisitions, involving publicly-traded companies, the SEC said in its complaint.
He then spread the rumours to his contacts at financial news services, chat rooms, and message boards.
“Today we charged Milan Vinod Patel for his central role in a multi-million dollar scheme to spread and trade on more than 100 false rumours about public companies,” the SEC tweeted.
Patel also disseminated the rumours to Mark Melnick, a host of a stock trading webcast, who shared them with his webcast subscribers.
The circulation of more than 100 rumours between December 2017 and January 2020 caused the prices of the subject companies’ securities to rise temporarily.
This allowed Patel to sell his holdings in such securities and generate more than $1 million in illicit trading profits.
The US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, charged Patel with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

The SEC had previously charged Barton Ross, Mark Melnick, Anthony Salandra, and Charles Parrino for their roles in this scheme.

Hyderabad: Restoration of Gulzar Houz leads to ‘demolition’ rumours

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The state government here began restoration of the 16th century Gulzar Houz (fountain) in the Old City. On Monday night, workers started drilling out and removing concrete from the structure using a machine, leading to several false messages spreading on social media and also amongst local media, that the structure is being ‘demolished.
Using tin sheets, Gulzar Houz has been was covered from all sides by the contractor who is taking up the restoration works. A board put up at the site reads ‘ Deccan Terrain”, as the name of the heritage conservation company.
A person linked to the company said that restoration works at Gulzar Houz are being taken up for which first a study will be done on needs to be done to begin the actual process of restoring it. They expect the works to completed in two months time.
After noticing the workers at Gulzar Houz, people gathered in large numbers. The police were called and the cops dispersed the crowd after explaining about what was really going on, with regard to the restoration of the structure.
The Gulzar Houz was built some years after the Charminar, which was built as Hyderabad’s foundational monument in 1591 by Mohd Quli Qutb Shah, the city’s founder. The Gulzar Houz was originally called ‘Char Su Ka Houz’ (fountain of the four sides) and was built as a drinking water fountain for locals of the city.
The Golconda fort existed as a walled city until Hyderabad was built in 1591. The Qutb Shahi dynasty, which founded the city, ended in 1687.
However, after the destruction of Hyderabad in 1687 by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and subsequently with the Nizams coming in (1724) as governors of the Decan, changes were made to Gular Houz. The old massive structure was eventually broken down to what it is today.
