Congress’s Navjot Sidhu Gets 1 Year In Jail In 34-Year-Old Road Rage Case

May 19, 2022

New Delhi: Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu was today sentenced to one year in jail in a 34-year-old road rage case by the Supreme Court, in a massive setback to the cricketer-politician just months after an election defeat.

Navjot Sidhu, 58, has to surrender before a court to serve a year’s “rigorous imprisonment”. “Will submit to the majesty of law…,” tweeted the former Punjab Congress chief, who had participated in a protest this morning.

The Supreme Court was hearing a petition by the family of a man who died after a brawl with Mr Sidhu and his associate in 1988.

For over three decades, the incident and its legal aftermath has dogged Mr Sidhu, who recently quit as Punjab Congress chief after his party’s defeat in state elections.

The victim’s family had asked for graver charges against Mr Sidhu and a review of a 2018 order of the Supreme Court exonerating him.

On December 27, 1988, Mr Sidhu got into an argument with Gurnam Singh, a resident of Patiala, over a parking spot. Mr Sidhu and his associate, Rupinder Singh Sandhu, allegedly dragged Gurnam Singh out of his car and hit him. He later died.

In 1999, a sessions court in Patiala acquitted Mr Sidhu and his associate citing lack of evidence and giving the benefit of the doubt.

On a petition challenging this verdict, the Punjab and Haryana High court convicted Mr Sidhu in 2006 of culpable homicide and sentenced him to three years in jail.

In 2018, Mr Sidhu approached the Supreme Court, which set aside the High Court order saying there was no evidence the man had died of a single blow. But it held the cricketer-politician guilty of causing hurt to a senior citizen.

While Mr Sidhu was held guilty of voluntarily causing hurt to a 65-year-old man, he was spared a jail term and fined ₹ 1,000.

The Supreme Court also acquitted Mr Sidhu’s aide Rupinder Sandhu of all charges saying there was no proper evidence he was present at the spot.

The family of the victim, Gurnam Singh, requested the Supreme Court to review its order and consider tougher charges.

Mr Sidhu had challenged the family’s review petition. The Supreme Court today ruled on the Congress leader’s petition.

Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra in fresh trouble; ED registers money-laundering case

May 19, 2022

The Enforcement Directorate has registered a case of money laundering against Raj Kundra and some other people. They will be soon called for questioning. The case is based on the FIR of the Mumbai Police that alleged that Raj Kundra and others ran pornographic apps.

The ED is investigating the financial transactions of Raj Kudra and others including those who work overseas. The case was registered last week after the ED collected details. It seems they will be called in for questioning in a few days.

In February 2021, the police raided a bungalow in Madh Island and busted a porn film-making racket. After investigating the case, the cops named Kundra and he was arrested. Later, they released him on bail. Kundra said that the investigation was motivated, and there was no clear proof linking him to that offence. He spent a couple of months in prison.

His brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi is the chairman of Kenrin. They worked together on the mobile app called HotShots Digital Entertainment. It was developed by Kenrin. It seems Kundra controlled the British operations from his Viaan Industries Limited.

मुंबई में अगर 5 जून तक आगमन हुआ तो 7 जून तक यहां मानसूनी बारिश शुरू हो जाएगी. कुछ वर्ष पूर्व तक यहा मानसून की लेटलतीफी भी रही है. 25 जून तक मानसून आया करता था. बीते 2 वर्षों से जून के 12 से 18 तारीख तक मानसून ने दस्तक दी. इस बार जल्द ही बारिश शुरू होगी. वहीं मानसून पूर्व बारिश तो इसी महीने के अंतिम सप्ताह से शुरू होने की संभावना है. 24-25 मई से प्री मानसून बारिश शुरू हो जाएगी. इस महीने आंशिक बदली के साथ बीच-बीच में हल्की व मध्यम बारिश के आसार तो अभी से बने हुई हैं.

फिर हीट वेव की चेतावनी
मौसम विभाग ने दो दिनों के बाद सिटी में फिर हीट वेव की चेतावनी दी है. विभाग ने संभावना जताई है कि 20 और 21 मई को दो दिन उष्ण लहर एक बार फिर कहर ढाएगी. दो दिनों का तापमान 45 या उससे ऊपर भी हो सकता है. बीते दो दिनों से सिटी में मौसम बदलाव के चलते तापमान में कमी आई थी. सोमवार को तो अधिकतम तापमान 39.4 डिसे दर्ज किया गया लेकिन 24 घंटों में ही तापमान में 4 डिग्री की बढ़ोतरी हुई है. मंगलवार को विभाग ने सिटी का अधिकतम तापमान 43.4 डिसे दर्ज किया. एक ही दिन में तापमान तेजी से बढ़ने के चलते फिर गर्मी बढ़ गई है. मंगलवार को न्यूनतम तापमान 28.5 डिसे दर्ज किया गया.

2 दिन फिर बारिश
आगामी 48 घंटों में सिटी में आंशिक बदलीभरे मौसम के साथ 1-2 स्पैल की हल्की बारिश की संभावना भी विभाग ने जताई है. यानी 18 व 19 मई को धूपछांव का मौसम रहेगा और तेज अंधड़ के साथ बारिश हो सकती है. 22 व 23 मई को भी आंशिक बदराया मौसम रहने के आसार है. इस पूरे सप्ताह सिटी का अधिकतम तापमान 42 से 45 डिसे और न्यूनतम तापमान 28 से 30 डिसे के बीच बना रहने के संकेत विभाग ने दिये हैं.

Nagpur: The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Nagpur has got custody of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist from Jammu & Kashmir who had conducted recce of Dr Hedgewar Smriti Mandir of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Reshimbag in July last year, according to reports.

According to reports, Raees Ahmed Sheikh Asadulla Sheikh (26), a resident of Khati Mohalla, Chandara, Awantipora town of Pulwama district in J&K, is being thoroughly interrogated by the ATS since the last two days. During interrogation, Raees reportedly told the investigators that a person named Omar, who is operational commander of JeM’s Nawabpur (Pakistan)-based terrorist launching pad, was his handler.

The reports further said that Raees came to Nagpur by a Delhi-Mumbai-Nagpur flight on July 13 and checked into a hotel in Sitabuldi area. The handler had assured Raees that a local man would contact and help him at Nagpur in the operation. However, Raees conducted the reconnaissance on his own as no person contacted him at Nagpur, according to sources.

On July 14, Raees took an auto-rickshaw and reached Reshimbag with the help of Google Map. The location was sent by his handler, sources claimed. His target was to conduct recce of Smriti Mandir. He deboarded the auto near Reshimbag ground in the afternoon. Raees reportedly told the investigators that he took video of Hedgewar Mandir while walking through Reshimbag ground and pretending that he was talking to someone on cell phone. He later shared the video with his handler on WhatsApp but got admonished over poor quality of the video. He was instructed to again shoot the video. However, fearing police, Raees switched off his mobile phone.

Sources said, Raees then called the auto-rickshaw driver and asked him to take to a Masjid. The auto driver dropped him at a Masjid near Santra Market gate where he stayed for the day and returned to the hotel in the evening. On July 15, Raees returned to Srinagar by a Nagpur-Delhi-Srinagar flight, sources added.

A case under relevant sections of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was registered against Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist at Kotwali Police Station. The probe was transferred to ATS on the instructions of the then DGP Sanjay Pandey.

May 17, 2022

The Gyanvapi Masjid survey, which was ordered by the local court, concluded a day before the deadline set by the Varanasi Court. After the conclusion of the survey, the Supreme Court will be hearing the controversial matter today, May 17.

The Gyanvapi Masjid matter escalated after Hindus and Muslims both claimed the right to pray inside the mosque on claims that there was a temple situated inside the mosque. Thus, the court had ordered a video survey of the site and a detailed report on the matter.

The petitioner claimed, “Shivling…Jiski Nandi pratiksha kar rahi thi… The moment things became clear the chants of ‘Har Har Mahavdev’ resonated in mosque premises.” The Hindu petitioner, Sohan Lal Arya, had accompanied the authorities to the mosque and claimed that a shivling was found in the well.

The office-bearers of the mosque committee had urged the authorities to not film inside the mosque.

Maharashtra: Tourist loses money to fake Tadoba safari booking site

May 16, 2022

NAGPUR: Those planning online bookings for a safari in tiger reserves/parks beware! An engineer working with Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station (CSTPS) lost Rs5,400 after attempting to book a safari in Tadoba buffer through a website.

The official booking website of Tadoba is www.mytadoba.org. Rajesh Mahajan, who is posted as an executive engineer in CSTPS, booked a May 15 safari from a website tadobasafaribooking.in around 6 am on May 11. However, he ended up losing the sum and did not get entry as promised.

Talking to TOI, Mahajan said, “Being near to my place, I opted for Agarzari-Dewada gate which was shown as available and hence I proceeded with payment of Rs5,400. The payment was successful and I waited for the confirmation message on the mail or cell phone, which never came.”
At 9 am, Mahajan received a call from a person who identified himself as Rishi saying the opted zone didn’t have any entry available and said the same was available from Keslaghat and Zari Peth gates and sent a roadmap. “I was reluctant, but as money was already paid I asked the caller to confirm Zari Peth, which is again 20-25km from my place,” said Mahajan.

At 10.45 am, Mahajan received another call from some other person saying he was calling from Tadoba Safari and said, “As there is congestion in the booking network, the entry from Zari Peth gate also cannot be confirmed. On May 15, entry is available from Mamla gate only. If you still want to confirm, please inform or we will cancel the booking and refund the sum.”

Mahajan said, “I asked the guy to cancel the booking. He promised to refund the money and sought some time. The caller sent a screenshot of the refund, but the amount has still not been credited. He said it is an online gateway payment refund and that takes time to get credited. Even after four days, the sum has not been refunded.”

When Mahajan called the original caller Rishi, his phone was switched off. The number on the website was connected to Kaziranga National Park in Assam.
Mahajan, who is also president of District Consumer Forum, says, “This is not the first time I’ve booked a safari online. I had done it at least 8-10 times, but I also don’t know how I went with the flow and realized the mistake when there was no refund. I will lodge a police complaint.”

TATR field director Dr. Jitendra Ramgaonkar says, “These websites are fraud and Tadoba administration has reported about it to the police, cyber cell and is also approaching the courts to stop the menace.”

“On November 15, 2021, one Anup Sawarkar was tricked by one such website in a similar manner. A complaint was lodged with Durgapur police and we had listed at least 8 fake websites with Tadoba’s name on it. Tourists need to be cautious while making online safari bookings,” said Nandkishore Kale, deputy director (core).

Many resort owners and tourists have been urging to shift the booking website to mahaecotourism.gov.in because the ‘gov’ on the website can prevent many frauds. “It indicates that it is a government website. We don’t know why TATR is sticking to mytadoba.org?” they asked.

Is there really a ghost in Sony SABs Wagle Ki Duniya Watch Out

May 16, 2022

It’s time for some scary encounters in Sony SAB’s Wagle Ki Duniya as things turn eerie in Sai Darshan Heights Society. Rajesh’s coworkers Dasani (Nayan Dasani) and Marfatiya (Vinayak Ketkar) get evicted from their house post a series of conflicts and reach out to him for help. Rajesh (Sumeet Raghavan) requests Joshipura (Deepak Pareek) to let the duo stay in their society as a special favor for a month. On his plea, Joshipura allows Dasani and Marfatiya to stay in a flat on the 9th floor of the building that reportedly belongs to his brother. While they take a sigh of relief for finding a new house, stories of the flat being haunted start doing the rounds.

At night, both Dasani and Marfatiya start experiencing paranormal activities in the flat and chaos ensues. When they inform Rajesh and Vandana about the same, the couple dismisses the incident as a figment of imagination but soon the happenings start bothering others in the society. On probing into the matter further, Rajesh and Vandana come to know of some rumors involving the death of the previous tenant and how these rumors have been created to prohibit the sale of the house. What happens next is a rollercoaster of thrill, drama, and all things horror.

Is there a real ghost on the 9th floor? What’s the secret behind paranormal activities?

Deepak Pareek who essays the role of Dakshesh Joshipura says, “Fear of the unknown scares even the most intelligent of people, forcing us to act in ways that defy logic and reason. And that’s exactly what Wagle Ki Duniya’s latest plot is about. As fear spreads throughout society as a result of a series of strange events, Joshipura along with Rajesh take it upon themselves to uncover the truth and restore normalcy. We had a lot of fun filming the scenes, and hopefully, that will translate on screen. I feel the scenes contain the perfect blend of comedy and adrenaline that will appeal to our audience, and they will have a gala time watching this track”

Nagpur division completes SSC, HSC evaluation

May 16, 2022

Nagpur: The evaluation work of SSC and HSC papers has been completed in the Nagpur division, following which marks have been sent to Pune headquarters.
The division, which comprises Nagpur, Wardha, Gondia, Bhandara, Chandrapur, and Gadchiroli districts, has so far been on track for all board-related work.

A senior board official said, “Teachers put in a lot of effort along with board employees. Evaluations were completed as per the timeline even though exams were delayed this year. All the major work has been done from the Nagpur division, and now we are in midst of the process which we call ‘reporting’.”

As per the official, this is the phase when the Pune HQ informs about anomalies in marks or any other query. The divisional board then has to resolve all those queries and then all that remains is to wait for the declaration of the results.

The official said, “Once all the divisional boards submit their marks and all issues are resolved, then a board meeting is held at Pune. The status of result preparation is reviewed and once completed, the board officials discuss possible dates for the result declaration.” These dates, or dates, are then reviewed by the education minister/principal secretary (education), he added.

“Once the minister approves the results date, we go ahead and officially announce the same,” said the official.
Unlike CBSE, the state education board always announces results date in advance through the official channel.

When asked about the results timeline, the official said it should be in the first week of June. “See it could be earlier too, as everything depends on how fast data is compiled by the Pune HQ from all other divisional boards. But it seems to be that we are looking at the first week of June for HSC and then SSC a week or so later,” said the official.

Police said emergency services attempted to revive the driver and sole occupant, but he died from his injuries after the car left the road and rolled.

“Australian cricket has lost another of its very best,” Cricket Australia chairman Lachlan Henderson said in a statement.

“Andrew was a generational talent who was instrumental in Australia’s success at World Cups and as part of Queensland’s rich cricket history.

“He was a cult figure to many who was treasured by his fans and friends,” he added.

Symonds’ fatal crash comes just months after the deaths of fellow Australian greats Warne and Marsh, who both died unexpectedly from heart attacks.

“Unfortunately I’ve been here too often this year under these circumstances. I actually can’t quite believe it, to be honest,” former Australia captain Mark Taylor told Channel Nine. “Another tragic day for cricket.”

The larger-than-life Symonds was hugely popular, not only for his hard-hitting approach to the game but also for his easy-going personality.

He was widely considered one of the most skilled all-rounders Australian cricket has seen, bowling both off-spin and medium pace, while playing many match-winning hands with his explosive middle-order batting.

Symonds was also a top-rate fielder and was a key part of Australia’s back-to-back 50-over World Cups triumphs in 2003 and 2007.

Domestically, he played for Queensland for 17 seasons, while appearing for Gloucestershire, Kent, Lancashire, and Surrey in the English County Championship and for Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.

‘Utterly devastated’

“Horrendous news to wake up to,” tweeted former Australian teammate Jason Gillespie. “Utterly devastated. We’re all gonna miss you mate.”

Adam Gilchrist, another former teammate who more recently commentated alongside Symonds at Fox Sports, wrote: “This really hurts,” while Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said he was “devastated”.

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan said: “Simmo … this doesn’t feel real #RIP.”

Symonds, who was born in England with one parent of Afro-Caribbean descent, will also be remembered for the infamous “monkey gate” scandal that sent him into a downward spiral.

He accused India spinner Harbhajan Singh of calling him a “monkey” in Sydney’s 2008 New Year Test.

Singh, who denied any wrongdoing, was suspended for three matches. The ban was overturned when India threatened to quit the tour in a low point for India-Australia cricket relations.

The Australian player later revealed it took a heavy toll.

“From that moment on that was my downhill slide,” he recalled in 2018. “I started to drink heavily as a result of it and my life was starting to dissolve around me.”

His Cricket Australia contract was withdrawn in June 2009 after he was sent home from the World Twenty20 in England following the latest in a series of alcohol-related indiscretions.

Despite the animosity, Symonds and Harbhajan eventually made up and played together in the Indian Premier League, with the Australian forging a successful career as a respected television commentator after retiring.

May 14, 2022

Sohail Khan, an actor, and producer, married Seema Khan in 1998. The couple has filed for divorce after living apart for quite some time. They were seen outside a Mumbai family court today, May 13.

According to sources, Sohail and Seema have both filed for divorce. They’ve been living apart for a while and have finally filed for divorce in a Mumbai family court. “The decision was made at the last minute, and no one was notified,” the insider claimed. They both agreed to divorce and keep their decision confidential. For the past few years, they’ve been living apart.”

For a long period, Seema Khan and Sohail Khan have lived in separate households. Seema acknowledged this on Netflix’s The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, saying that she and Sohail aren’t married in the traditional sense. She revealed, “It’s simply that as you get older, your relationships tend to meander and diverge in unexpected ways. I make no apologies because we are content and my children are content. Sohail and I are not married in the traditional sense, but we are a family. We work as a team. Our children are important to us at the end of the day.”

Nirvaan and Yohan are the two sons of Sohail and Seema.

RTMNU to decide the mode of Exam on May 18

May 14, 2022

Lack of clarity at the level of the Ministry of Higher and Technical Education in Maharashtra, universities in the state are unable to make final decisions on examination mode.

In Vidarbha, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, and Gondwana University, Gadchiroli issued notifications for offline examinations, but Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) has not taken any decision on it so far.

RTMNU will finalize the issue in the meeting of the Board of Examinations and Evaluation (BOEE).

This year in March, Minister Uday Samant had asked universities to take their own decisions regarding the mode of examinations. Accordingly, Mumbai University had conducted almost 80% examinations online. Pune University, too, had conducted most of the examinations online except for engineering, pharmacy, and some others.

RTMNU too decided to hold examinations in a blended mode. Meanwhile, in April, Samant changed its stand and told universities to have examinations in offline mode only. He wanted the examinations in offline mode to be conducted in a traditional manner (those used held before the coronavirus pandemic). In fact, he specified the period for holding examinations–from June 1 and June 30.

RTMNU had to postpone the examinations. North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon expressed its inability to hold examinations in offline mode in the traditional way, so decided to go offline but with Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ).

RTMNU may hold its BoEE meet by May 18 and then take a final decision on the mode of examination.
