NCP-backed Independent MLA extends support to Shiv Sena

October 29, 2019 by Nasheman

The Sena, which won 56 seats in the October 21 Assembly polls, claimed its tally now stood at 61 with the support of five more MLAs.

Shankarrao Gadakh

MUMBAI: Shankarrao Gadakh, an NCP-backed Independent MLA in Maharashtra, on Monday offered support to the Shiv Sena, which is pushing for an equal share in power with ally BJP in the next government.

The MLA from Nevasa in Ahmednagar district made the announcement after meeting Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at his residence here. Gadakh’s father Yashwantrao was a former NCP leader.

“I represent a rural area where problems are more complicated. If I have to solve people’s issues, it is better to stay with the party which is going to form the government. Hence, I visited Mumbai today and extended support to the Sena,” he said.

The Sena, which won 56 seats in the October 21 Assembly polls, claimed its tally now stood at 61 with the support of five more MLAs.

The BJP and the Shiv Sena, with 105 and 56 seats respectively in the 288-member House, are busy wooing the 13 Independent MLAs in the state to give themselves an upper hand during discussions for formation of the next government.

In a related development, two Independent MLAs – Ravi Rana (Badnera in Amravati district) and Kishor Jorgewar (Chandrapur) – have declared support to the BJP.

The Sena has demanded a written assurance from the BJP for implementing “equal formula for sharing of power”, which could possibly include equal division of the chief ministerial tenure.

Speaking to a news channel on Monday, Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, “We will see how they do not share the post of Chief Minister. Both the parties agreed on 50:50 power-sharing formula. There is no need to explain it in detail.

CCTV cameras helped cops to detect the clueless sensational double murder”.

A clueless sensational double murder case solved by Whitefield Division police of Mahadevapura police and have arrested two persons and recovered stolen property from them. 
Sensational double murder case of a elderly couple solved by Mahadevapura police by arresting two accused a husband and wife and recovered stolen 305 grams gold ornaments and cash from them. 
The accused has been identified as Venkatesh CH,30 years,and Smt.Arpita Venkatesh,21 years.Both live in a rented house in Amruthahalli.
On 17th October an elderly couple were found murdered in Mahadevapura Police Station limits.
The deceased Chandregowda,aged 63 years (retired Pvt.Company employee) and his wife Smt.Lakshmamma,aged 55 years were found murdered in their home located in RHB Colony, Garudacharpalya.by unknown miscreants and their house was also found to be ransacked.
Sensing a sensitive case four teams were formed under DCP Whitefield. 
The murder case was detected with the help of technical investigation skills and with the CCTV footage in the area as there was no CCTV cameras installed in the elderly couple house and surroundings but a major breakthrough was CCTV footage in the area which captured the movements of these duo.
Under Section 27 of evidence act we have arrested them and we took them to the scene of crime also. 
Senior officer told the accused were married in 2016 and have a 1.5-year-old child. Venkatesh works as an Ola cab driver.Venkatesh had several loans amounting to Rs 10 lakhs, and decided to pay back the loans by committing murder for gain.Smt. Lakshmamma is a distant relative of Venkatesh.He had met them in a marriage function in Mysuru about a month back.After seeing the jewels worn by her,he and his wife decided to target this elderly couple.They also visited the house twice to build up a rapport and gain their confidence.On 16th October,Venkatesh and his wife went to the house of deceased,and these both accused brutally assaulted them on their head with a spanner and murdered them.They then searched the house for valuables,and decamped with gold jewels, silver articles and cash.The gold articles were then sold at Shri Dhanlaxmi Jewellers,Malleshwaram for which they obtained Rs.8.6 lakhs cash after obtaining the cash they visited to Dharmasthala and stayed their for two days and then they were hiding at their friend Gautham’s house in a village in Dakshina Kannada district and based on the investigation clues they were nabbed on 26th October at his house and During the course of investigation he has confessed the crime and said to repay the loan of ten lakhs these both used to identify elderly couples who are all alone and has no child and after getting information about them they used to target them by taking them in their confidence and then they used to assault them with spanner and decamp with their valuables and a detailed investigation by the team the accused Venkatesh revealed that he had committed a similar offence in Rayasamudra Village, in KR Pete Taluka, Mandya District in July 2019.Further enquiry has revealed that an elderly couple; Gundegowda,aged about 55 years and his wife Smt.Lalitamma, aged about 50 years were murdered in a similar fashion by Venkatesh on the night of 12th July 2019. Smt.Lalitamma was a relative of Venkatesh (she is the elder sister of his brother in law).After murdering them he ransacked the house and made away with 60 grams of gold jewels and cash of Rs. 2000.Then the gold was sold by his wife Arpita at Shri Dhanlaxmi Jewellers in Malleshwaram for which they obtained Rs1.8 lakhs cash and thereafter they repaid some of the loans.During the course of investigation 305 grams of gold ornaments and Rs.5,04,300 cash has been seized. Further investigation is continued and it is shocking that in the double murder case of elderly couple one alleged accused is in jail by name Yogesh who is a neighbour of Venkatesh in KR Pet only just for a small quarrel between them and to take revenge from his neighbours they both fixed him falsely in the double murder case and the cops have also arrested him based on his statement instead of doing investigation in all angles they have fixed a person who is still in jail and a detailed investigation will be done in this case also as why he was not booked by the concerned officer in the crime of Mandya KR Pet Police station he added.
Their Modus Operandi is they used to visit to marriage and other functions and his wife used to collect details about elderly persons in their family and after knowing that the elderly couple is all alone with no children then they used to target them and visit their house oftenly to build their rapport with them as they are caring to them and are concerned about them in the same way they collected details about lakshmamma and Chandregowda and to repay his loan of Rs.10 lakhs he has murdered these elderly couples as being all alone what they will do with this much of property.
Commissioner of Police,Bhaskar Rao told media persons as on 17th October 10 days back there was a double murder reported in Mahadevapura police Station limits in which elderly couple were brutally hacked to death by some unknown miscreants they even ransacked with their valuables as soon as the murder was reported my self with Addl CP,East,S Murugan,DCP Whitefield MN Anucheth with other

station after analysing the CCTV footage we found their movements and presence at the Crime scene our team grilled both the accused who confessed that in the month of July he and her wife has murdered

also be booked as these days we were not taking action but now we will act very tough on those who are helping and giving shelter to culprits as recently we have booked 6 members in former VC case in which many have helped the accused by giving their vehicle to commit offence and many even gave them shelter and other things after the crime incident those will be booked and I have instructed the DCP Whitefield to book Goutham also who has given shelter to those accused.And after the Diwali function we will map all senior citizens staying across city and we will install or fix one beat book at their house so men in khaki will visit their regularly and sign the book and I appeal to all the citizens to install CCTV cameras in your house and apartments as in this case there was no CCTV cameras but one of the CCTV cameras in the area helped in detecting the case and it is our priority to give protection to elderly persons living in the city as many are staying here as there children will be in abroad working and they will be alone so their safety is our responsibility so we will be fixing beat book in their house in all the Divisions and in many cases we are not booking there relatives or associates after the crime by giving shelter as they are also involved in crime we will bring them also in the purview and in some places they are destroying evidence as recently in the Amritha bai college a student committed suicide by jumping  from the college building where the evidence was destroyed by the criminals by pouring water and washing the floor with water and they have even erased

Former AAP MLA Kapil Mishra compares Muslim children to ‘pollution’ in tweet, draws flak

October 29, 2019 by Nasheman

Mishra, a former AAP MLA who was disqualified as member of the Delhi’s Legislative Assembly, hit back saying he had only posted pictures of children but ‘they are seeing them as Muslims’.

Kapil Mishra

NEW DELHI: Former AAP MLA Kapil Mishra, who recently joined the BJP, on Monday drew flak on social media over a controversial tweet which the RJD alleged was stoking communal hatred, but he maintained that he was trying to raise awareness on the need for population control.

The tweet was later taken down by Twitter for violating its guidelines.

“If you want pollution to come down, then you should reduce these firecrackers and not the ones burst on Diwali,” Mishra tweeted tagging a photograph of an elderly man with a skull cap and several children along with women in burqa, waiting in a queue.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) hit out at Mishra, accusing him of comparing “Muslim children to pollution” for his “petty politics” and stoking acrimony in society.

Mishra, a former AAP MLA who was disqualified as member of the Delhi’s Legislative Assembly, hit back saying he had only posted pictures of children but “they are seeing them as Muslims”.

“If the picture would have been of a Hindu family, would they have reacted in the same manner,” he tweeted.

One of the social media users, who lashed out at Mishra, said: “one should not stoop down to such a level just for a ticket that it is event difficult to get up”.

There was also a hashtag in support of Mishra which was trending for some time.

Mishra, however, said he is only advocating population control but is being abused and threatened on phone and social media for his tweet.

“There is so much fear after one tweet. What will these people do when the population control law comes in place, ” he tweeted referring to criticism on social media.

Donald Trump says considering releasing video footage of US raid on ISIS chief Baghdadi

October 29, 2019 by Nasheman

The ISIS chief blew up his suicide vest and died when he was chased inside a dead-end tunnel during a raid by the US Special Operations forces at his hideout on Saturday.

US President Donald Trump

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Monday said he was considering releasing a part of the video footage of the US special operations raid in northwest Syria that resulted in the death of elusive Islamic State leader and world’s most wanted terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The ISIS chief blew up his suicide vest and died when he was chased inside a dead-end tunnel during a raid by the US Special Operations forces at his hideout on Saturday.

“We’re thinking about it. We may.

“The question was: Am I considering releasing video footage of the raid? And we may take certain parts of it and release it, yes,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“We had a great weekend for our country. We captured a man that should’ve been caught a long time ago. Unfortunately, he wasn’t,” Trump said before leaving for Chicago.

“He’s done tremendous damage. But it was an amazing display of intelligence and military power and coordination, and getting along with people. Lots of great things happened.

“So that was a big, big day and a big weekend, and we’re very happy about it,” the US President said.

On Sunday, while announcing the raid and Baghdadi’s death at the White House, Trump said that watching a live feed from the scene of the operation was like watching “a movie.”

Trump announced the success of the raid, saying Baghdadi, who is said to be 48 years old, died “whimpering and crying and screaming”, and “like a dog and a coward”, adding that the ISIS leader and “the losers” under his command “were very frightened puppies”.

Baghdadi came to prominence in 2014, when he announced the creation of a “caliphate” in areas of Iraq and Syria.

ISIS carried out a number of atrocities that resulted in thousands of deaths.

Despite being hunted by the world’s best intelligence agencies and US authorities offering a whopping USD 25 million reward for information leading to his capture, Baghdadi had proved to be incredibly elusive.

The killing of the ISIS leader – the top terrorist leader – comes as a major political victory for President Trump who is facing an impeachment proceeding against him by the opposition Democratic Party, which hold the majority in the House of Representatives.

TN borewell horror: Baby Sujith succumbs as mammoth rescue efforts fail, decomposed body retrieved

October 29, 2019 by Nasheman

Incidentally, the shed above the erected old borewell where Sujith was stuck is completely covered without even a peephole.

Two-year-old Sujith

In heartbreaking news coming in wee hours of Tuesday morning, 2-year-old Sujith, who was trapped inside a borewell, has been declared dead after 80 hours of non-stop rescue efforts. Tamil Nadu Revenue Principal Secretary J Radhakrishnan confirmed the news at 2.15 am.

At around 1 am on Tuesday morning, a heavy police force was deployed at the rescue spot. While the drilling work was still going on, ministers and the higher officials held a serious discussion near the borewell site

Speaking to the press, Radhakrishnan said, “We observed a stench emanating from the borewell at around 9.30 pm. It was confirmed that Sujith is no more. We found his body to be highly decomposed and dismembered.”

Incidentally, the shed above the erected old borewell where Sujith was stuck is completely covered without even a peephole. Doctors were brought into the shed at around 2 am. In the meantime, digging work was stopped all of a sudden.

Radhakrishnan said that the complete report on the exact situation will be released soon.

The toddler had fallen into a 600-feet borewell in front of his house on Friday night while playing with cousins. While Sujith was initially spotted at a depth of 27-feet, he later sunk as low as 100-feet.

‘Housefull 4’ movie review: Akshay Kumar steals the show in this problematic comedy of errors

October 28, 2019 by Nasheman

Despite a number of cringe-worthy dialogues in the name of humour appearing intermittently in the movie, the one factor that remains consistently sincere and funny is Akshay Kumar.

Actor Akshay Kumar in the 'Bala' song from 'Housefull 4'.

Is there a point expecting logic, sincerity, and political correctness from the Housefull franchise? Haven’t we learnt anything over the past nine years and three films? The latest instalment sticks to the Housefull template of mounting a comedy of errors on a flimsy premise, which is held together by a series of unending gags, irreverent humour, which more than just borders on the offensive, and Akshay Kumar. After a series of nationalistic movies that saw Akshay champion various causes, he returns to a film that has him getting slapped around, kicked in the nether regions, and even unabashedly rolling in shit, literally. If this latter is courtesy a group of pigs in 1419, it is pigeons who do the needful in 2019.

After a series of nationalistic movies that saw Akshay champion various causes, he returns to a film that has him getting slapped around, kicked in the nether regions, and even unabashedly rolling in shit, literally. If this latter is courtesy a group of pigs in 1419, it is pigeons who do the needful in 2019. The film is about three brothers Akshay, Bobby Deol, and Riteish Deshmukh, who are in love with Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon, and Kriti Kharbanda, respectively… or are they?

Basically this film is what will happen if SS Rajamouli made Magadheera within the Housefull franchise. Just like Magadheera, Housefull 4 also uses reincarnation and ‘sachcha pyaar’ to sell us an outlandish story, which begins in London, and for the most part, happens in the princely state of Sitamgarh.

What’s Housefull without running gags? There is one involving Riteish Deshmukh, his effeminate characteristics, an unnecessary speech conundrum, and of course, homophobic humour. Then there is an English-speaking Johnny Lever, who later becomes Giggly, the Sitamgarh girlfriend of Akri Pasta (can there be a Housefull franchise without Chunky Pandey going ‘Mamma Mia’), and of course, transphobic humour. There’s yesteryear actor Ranjith, and of course, sexual innuendos aplenty.

The heroines hardly get to say anything except an exasperated “Shut Up” here and a “Yeh kya ho raha hai?” there, and of course, zero character development. There is the random breaking of fourth wall, misplaced pop culture references in the 14th century, and of course, Dharmendra being referenced while talking about Bobby Deol. But again, what do you expect out of a franchise which perennially aims at the low-hanging fruit? Housefull 4 is a worthy addition to the franchise known for its slapstick humour and below-the-belt jokes. Of what worth this franchise is in the first place is a different question altogether.

Despite a number of cringe-worthy dialogues in the name of humour appearing intermittently in the movie, the one factor that remains consistently sincere and funny is Akshay Kumar. While I am not a big fan of Sundi/Sandy from the previous instalment, both the roles in Housefull 4 give enough for the actor to ply his wares, and he does so with considerable elan. As Harry in the 2019 timeline, Akshay plays a man who forgets things when he hears loud noises, a “London ka Ghajini”, and he shoulders the responsibility of the film, almost singlehandedly in the second half.

However, the real show-stealer is Akshay as Rajkumar Bala Dev of Madhavgarh. The actor lets his hair down in the role of a scheming bald prince, whose characterisation is very reminiscent of General Aladeen from The Dictator. Remember the Akshay from films such as Singh is King and Rowdy Rathore? He is back in familiar territory after a prolonged break where he tried to save a lot of things, including the Indian legal system, Indian women, and even the Indian space research.

In between all this, there is Rana Daggubati, whose inclusion also brings in the mandatory Baahubali references. Look out for his present-day avatar, where Rana has the most unlikely profession. Such is the randomness of his profession that the only thing more random than that is the presence of Nawazuddin Siddiqui grooving to an item number along with the entire cast of Housefull 4. Such moments of ingenuity and wackiness manage to balance, albeit temporarily, the outrage the film induces otherwise.

Writing credits of the film are shared by six people, and it really does feel like a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the biriyani. However, the actors, including Riteish and Johnny, ably support Akshay in his endeavour to solve all the confusion by incessant hamming, as does the over-the-top staging.

Some might argue that the presence of this franchise is a farce and not the best thing to have happened to Bollywood. Others believe there is a huge market for such mindless entertainers. Some others are of the opinion that comedy is a subjective thing. To be honest, I related to all these opinions at various points of Housefull 4. Are certain dialogues abysmal? Yes. Is the presence of Sajid Khan’s name in the credits disheartening? Yes. Did I laugh out loud when they break into Soldier Soldier song in 1491? You bet I did! Did I give a half-smile when they decided to rhyme “Exorcism” with… Sonu Nigam? Definitely. So, that brings me to the most important question that came up after watching Housefull 4. Do we need a Housefull 5? Well, as Akshay repeatedly says in this film… I don’t know.

Think tank helped Karnataka put Vijay Hazare Trophy in bank

October 28, 2019 by Nasheman

The management also handed Prateek Jain a debut in the final, against Tamil Nadu, for his left-arm pace instead of a regular in Ronit More; a bold call in a pressure game. 

BENGALURU: Karnataka were the standout team in this Vijay Hazare Trophy. After topping a tough combined Group A and B with just one loss, they were invincible in the knockout stages, going on to claim their fourth domestic one-day title on Friday. Devdutt Padikkal (609 runs), KL Rahul (598), Manish Pandey (525), Abhimanyu Mithun (20 wickets) and Prasidh Krishna (17) were their standout performers. 

Besides individual brilliance, the team management also played its part with some important decisions during the tournament. One among them was the bold move to play a part-time keeper in the knockout stages despite having a fit keeper in the form of BR Sharath.

Giving Rahul the gloves allowed them to play an extra bowler in the quarterfinal, and an extra batsman in the semifinals and final. 

“I always wanted him to keep so that we could play six batsmen and adjust in one all-rounder,” said Pandey. “We were closing in on the knockout phase, so I thought that him keeping would help me get another all-rounder in, or we can play six batsmen and five pure bowlers.”

The management also handed Prateek Jain a debut in the final, against Tamil Nadu, for his left-arm pace instead of a regular in Ronit More; a bold call in a pressure game. 

It has to be noted that performances were taken into account while picking the XI. Premier leg spinner Shreyas Gopal, who was not at his impressive best in the tournament, did not find a place in the semifinals and final after unimpressive figures against Puducherry (0/55), Saurashtra (1/52) and Mumbai (1/80). Praveen Dubey, who took three wickets each against Goa and Puducherry, was given the nod. 

“The management has been giving chances to different players, who are doing well in all kinds of leagues. If you get a chance to feature for the state (in the XI) and deliver, then it gives players the confidence and drive to do well,” Mithun said.

With Vinay Kumar leaving Karnataka, Mithun was the bowling spearhead, entailing peak fitness as a prerequisite. In eight round-robin games, they rested him for two: against Chhattisgarh and Saurashtra. Mithun took a minimum of one wicket in each of the other six. He was at his menacing best in the final, scalping five that included a hat-trick. 

“The team management always wanted to rotate the bowlers as they wanted me and others to be fresh. It was done as there were so many matches to be played,” said Mithun.

No fund shortage for flood rehabilitation, says Yediyurappa

October 28, 2019 by Nasheman

All state BJP leaders including Chief Minster B S Yediyurappa held a meeting in Hubballi on Saturday in connection with the upcoming bypolls.

HUBBALLI: All state BJP leaders including Chief Minster BS Yediyurappa held a meeting in Hubballi on Saturday in connection with the upcoming bypolls. Leaders of the seven constituencies were called to discuss the next course of action. Speaking about flood relief measures, the chief minister said the government had left it to the authorities to take immediate actions to rehabilitate those affected by the flood in the state. “There is no dearth of funds and steps are being taken to give relief to the victims,” he added.

The meeting was organised to take BJP leaders into confidence and check whether the newly-joined leaders from JDS and Congress had any chances of winning. The closed-door meeting was held with the leaders till Saturday evening.

A source from the party said, while a series of meetings had taken place, the names of candidates were yet to be finalised. Earlier in the day, Yediyurappa had told media at the city airport, “Congress leader Siddaramaiah does not know how to talk and what to talk. He should seek apology before the public for criticising the Speaker. If not, people in the state will teach him a lesson.”

“According to the prediction by Mahatma Gandhi, Congress is seeing its down trend. Senior leaders like Siddaramaiah have lost patience after witnessing failure at every point,” the CM added.

Siddaramaiah criticises state govt
Criticising the move of the state government over providing relief funds for flood victims, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, “The BJP government is in deep slumber. The recently released election results at Maharashtra and Haryana speaks volumes about the party’s work.”  He also said the padayatra seeking relief funds for flood victims, which will be organised by the Congress, is yet to be finalised.  Replying to a query over D K Shivakumar’s position in the party, he said there were rumours over giving a key position to him.

Entire country worried about rise in mob lynching incidents: Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot

October 28, 2019 by Nasheman

Gehlot said that an environment of fear, distrust and violence has developed in the country due to which mob lynching incidents are on the rise.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot addresses a press conference at his residence in Jaipur

JAIPUR: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said the entire country is worried about the rise in cases of mob lynching on the suspicion of cattle theft and asserted that such incidents should not happen.

Responding to a question on mob lynching at an event at Hingonia cow shelter here, Gehlot said, “Cow is like mother. Every Hindu considers it as mother. It is our duty to respect the feelings but a religion will neither accept nor teach taking someone’s life on the basis of suspicion.”

He said, “An environment of fear, distrust and violence has developed in the country due to which mob lynching incidents are on the rise. The entire country is worried about it.” Gehlot said that such incidents should stop and that the state government would make all efforts to curb them.

He said that BJP leaders have a duty to give such a message just like Prime Minister Narendra Modi had once said that people engaging in such activities are anti-social elements. “I believe mob lynching incidents will stop if the message is clear from the leaders of BJP, RSS and VHP,” he said.
