Safdarjung doctor arrested by CBI in extortion case, granted bail

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has granted bail to Dr Manish Rawat, a neurosurgeon at Safdarjung Hospital, who was arrested on charges of coercing patients into purchasing overpriced surgical equipment from a specific store to expedite their surgeries. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has accused Rawat of colluding with accomplices to extort payments from patients for medical consultations and surgeries, circumventing hospital protocols. According to the CBI, Rawat compelled patients to purchase surgical instruments at inflated prices from a specific shop, with the shop owner sharing the overbilling profits with Rawat. Investigation revealed that Rawat directed patients to deposit bribes ranging from Rs 30,000 - 1.15 lakh into a middlemans bank account. The CBI also alleged that Rawat and his co-conspirators laundered the illicit gains through various companies controlled by an individual based in Bareilly. However, Special Judge Anil Antil granted bail after imposing strict conditions on Rawat, noting that the trial had not begun despite the chargesheet being filed over a year ago.

Uttar Pradesh: Permission denied for mass marriage event for Muslim converts in Bareilly

BAREILLY: The programme proposed by the local political group Ittehad-e-Millat Council (IMC) to conduct mass marriage of men and women of other religions who have converted to Islam has been postponed after the district administration denied permission for the event. IMC chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, who had announced to organise the event, said, We work within the ambit of the law. The mass marriage program will be held only after the permission of the administration. We sought permission from the administration, which was not given. The program will not be held without the permission of the administration. IMC state in-charge Nadeem Qureshi said the city magistrate did not give permission to convert and perform the marriage of couples. The program has been postponed for now, he added. The marriage of men and women who have converted from Hinduism to Islam will be conducted and in the first phase, five couples will get married, in which the men and women will complete the process of conversion and embrace each other, the IMC chief had earlier said. The IMC had sought permission from the district administration for the event but their request was denied on Tuesday evening. District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar said late on Tuesday night that the IMC had sought permission from the city magistrate to organise an event for religious conversion and marriage. The permission for the same has not been given and the religious conversion and marriage program has been postponed by IMC. The administration has received the letter from IMC informing about the postponement of the program, the officer said. The mass marriage ceremony will be held on July 21 at 11 am in Khalil Higher Secondary School. Permission has also been sought from the administration for this, Khan said. The IMC chief's proposed 'mass marriage programme after conversion' resulted in a controversy with Hindu organisations staging a protest and seeking action against Khan here on Tuesday. The protestors also submitted memorandums to the district magistrate with their demands.

Anti-Constitution sentiment has taken new form: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi

Anti-Constitution sentiment has taken new form: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday disapproved of the objections raised on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's chants of 'Jai Samvidhaan' on the second day of the Parliament and said that the anti-constitution sentiment that emerged during the elections has now taken a new form. The Congress leader argued saying people in power were not stopped from raising unparliamentary and unconstitutional slogans in the Parliament, but objections were raised when an opposition MP chanted 'Jai Samvidhaan'. Taking to the microblogging site, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra posted on X, Can't 'Jai Samvidhaan' be chanted in the Indian Parliament? People in power were not stopped from raising unparliamentary and unconstitutional slogans in the Parliament, but objections were raised when an opposition MP chanted 'Jai Samvidhaan'. The anti-constitution sentiment that emerged during the elections has now taken a new form, which seeks to weaken our Constitution, said the Congress leader. The constitution by which the parliament functions, the constitution by which every member takes oath, the constitution by which every citizen gets the protection of life and livelihood, will that same constitution be opposed now to suppress the voice of the opposition? read the post. This comes after Rahul Gandhi took the oath in Lok Sabha as a Member of Parliament (MP) from Raebareli on Tuesday with a copy of the Constitution in his hand, he said 'Jai Samvidhan' to reporters while leaving the Parliament. Rahul Gandhi was part of the remaining MPs who took their oaths today after a total of 262 newly elected MPs, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, did so on Monday, the inaugural session of the 18th Lok Sabha. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, who had come to Parliament for his brother, Rahul Gandhi's oath-taking, said that she was pleased to see several party leaders taking oaths in the 18th Lok Sabha. The second day of the Parliament session witnessed a series of slogans during the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected Lok Sabha members. While BJP MP from Bareilly, Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar was seen chanting, Jai Hindu Rashtra, Jai Bharat, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ended his oath saying, Jai Samvidhan. The Raebareli MP concluded with Jai Hind, Jai Samvidhan, in a move to highlight his commitment to constitutional values. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, elected for his fifth term from Hyderabad, took his oath in Urdu, reciting a prayer beforehand. Following his oath, Owaisi hailed Telangana and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, while also raising the AIMIM's slogan for Muslims. He concluded with Jai Palestine, referencing a conflict-ridden West Asian region, which led to an uproar from the treasury benches. Adding to the variety of invocations, BJP leader and Mathura MP Hema Malini began her oath with Radhe Radhe and ended it with Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Shri Radha Raman Ji, Jai Bharat Mata Ki. Meanwhile, BJP MP Ravi Kishan from Gorakhpur concluded his oath with Har Har Mahadev, Jai Bhojpuri. BJP MP from Meerut Arun Govil took his oath in Sanskrit and ended it with Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat. After Rahul Gandhi announced that he would resign as an MP from Wayanad and would keep the Raebareli constituency, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge announced Priyanka Gandhi's candidature from Wayanad last week. If Priyanka Gandhi wins from Wayanad, three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family will be in Parliament: Sonia Gandhi in the Rajya Sabha and Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in the Lok Sabha. Efforts by the BJP's top leadership to reach a consensus on the Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha came to naught when the INDIA bloc decided to nominate 8-time MP K Suresh for the post. His nomination followed the filing of nomination by BJP's Kota MP Om Birla for the same position. Birla previously served as the Speaker in the 17th Lok Sabha. This was the first time that elections were held for the Speaker of the lower house, as traditionally the Lok Sabha Speaker and Deputy Speaker have been elected by consensus between the ruling party and the opposition.

Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP Over Law and Order in UP

Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP Over Law and Order in UP In a sharp critique on Thursday, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav asserted that Uttar Pradesh has descended into lawlessness during the BJP regime's seven-year tenure. Yadav dismissed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's claims of police modernization as hollow, questioning how a government that dismantled a state-of-the-art police response system established by the previous Samajwadi administration could effectively control crime. 'The Chief Minister's claim of crime control has proven false. The BJP government has failed on every front,' Yadav stated. The comments were in response to Adityanath's earlier declaration that law and order are pivotal to good governance, made while flagging off upgraded police response vehicles. Yadav highlighted rampant criminal activity, asserting that 'anarchy is at its peak,' with public trust eroding under BJP rule. He also accused BJP leaders and workers of fostering chaos, evidenced by recent violent incidents in Bareilly. Citing the proficient police force of the Samajwadi era, equipped with modern technology and designed to enhance public safety, Yadav lamented the current state, claiming, 'The police has become a predator instead of a protector of the public, with innocents suffering and criminals enjoying impunity.'

BJP MP invoking 'Jai Hindu Rashtra' after taking oath triggers controversy in Lok Sabha

Chaos erupted in the Lok Sabha when BJP MP from Bareilly, Chhatra Pal Singh Gangwar, concluded his oath with 'Jai Hindu Rashtra.' This statement seemed to be a retaliatory response to AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi's earlier 'Jai Palestine' remark. Members of the INDIA bloc expressed strong opposition to the 'Jai Hindu Rashtra' declaration made by the BJP MP from Bareilly, asserting that such a statement contradicts the fundamental principles enshrined in the Constitution of India. #WATCH | BJP MP Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar took oath as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha today and concluded his oath with the words, Jai Hindu Rashtra, Jai Bharat.

Owaisi, who has been elected from the Hyderabad seat for his fifth term, took oath in Urdu. He also recited a prayer before taking oath. After his oath, he hailed his state Telangana, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, apart from raising the AIMIM's slogan for Muslims. Talking to reporters outside Parliament, Owaisi asserted he said Jai Palestine. Other members are also saying different things...I said 'Jai Bheem, Jai Meem, Jai Telangana, Jai Palestine'. How is it wrong? Tell me the provision of Constitution? You should also listen to what others said. I said what I had to. Read what Mahatma Gandhi had said about Palestine.

This donkey thinks of itself as a deer, this astonishing story from 5 years ago went viral

A hunter ventured into the forests of California with the intent to hunt, but what he saw there left him in disbelief. Among a massive herd of elk (the largest species of deer), the hunter spotted a donkey strolling leisurely. According to the hunter, the donkey seemed extremely happy amidst the elk and didnt appear out of place among the wild animals. The scene was so unusual that the hunter immediately recorded it on his phone and shared it on Instagram. This event took place in March 2014. The hunter, Max Fennell, is a professional triathlete. In the video he shared, Fennell explained that the donkey was actually protecting the elk herd. The wild animals didnt move forward until the donkey signaled that everything was safe. He captioned the video saying it was the most unique and extraordinary hunting trip he had ever experienced. According to a report by People, Max Fennell received a message in June from a woman named Terry Dury, asking where he had gotten the video. When Fennell explained that he had recorded it himself, Terry began asking about the location. Curious about her interest, Fennell inquired about the reason behind her questions, which led to a remarkable story from five years earlier. Terry revealed that she had adopted a donkey named Diesel from a land management bureau. Along with Diesel, her farm was home to some chickens and a llama. In April 2019, Diesel had run off in fear while returning home and, despite weeks of searching, was never found. Terry and her husband assumed Diesel had wandered into the rugged terrain spanning 30,000 acres in the northwest. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Max Fennell (@maxfennell) Terry expressed her joy upon learning that Diesel was happy and healthy. She also mentioned that she wouldnt attempt to bring Diesel back, as he had now become a wild donkey. The report highlighted that in California, donkeys not only pull carts but also protect livestock on farms, a role that Diesel had evidently taken up.

NEET-PG: Students slam last-minute exam cancellation, say medical education is a mess

NEW DELHI: Travelling from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh to take her NEET-PG exam in Jaipur, Seetha (name changed) received the devastating news just 10 hours before the prestigious exam that it had been cancelled. The 23-year-old, who had invested a year of hard work, is in deep shock. She cant speak. We are trying to motivate her. My parents are very concerned, said her brother, a doctor in Rajasthan. My cousin, also taking the NEET-PG exam in Kurnool, burst into tears upon hearing the postponement. He prepared for over a year, enduring sleepless nights and relying on sleeping pills. He is crushed, he said, on condition of anonymity. Shocked, disappointed, and depressed thats the condition of an estimated 2 lakh NEET-PG students who learned on Saturday night that the Sunday exam, an eligibility-cum-ranking examination for admission to various MD/MS and PG Diploma Courses, was cancelled for the third time this year. Centre postpones NEET-PG entrance exam amid row over paper leaks TNIE spoke to over a dozen aspirants, some working in hospitals and others jobless. The initial shock gave way to anger at the examination system, which failed to hold public examinations without malpractice or paper leaks, affecting the fate of lakhs of young students. Some learned about the cancellation at the exam centre, others through social media, and some via media reports. Responses varied from crying and getting drunk to avoiding calls from family, friends, and colleagues. Many took to social media to criticise the government and authorities for playing with the lives of young students and expressed the desire to leave the country. Many aspirants, frustrated by the NEET-UG fiasco, said the arbitrary cancellation of the PG exam shows that medical education in India is in a complete mess. As students considered suing the authorities for psychological and monetary damage, the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) offered free psychiatric services to NEET-PG aspirants, highlighting the mental trauma many are suffering. 750 of 1,563 candidates skip NEET-UG re-test: NTA The government and the education and health ministry should compensate medical students and PG aspirants. No one is highlighting the mental state of the students. They are making a fool of us. Three exams have been postponed back to back. They have taken the education sector for a ride. They should be ashamed, said Dr Dhruv Chauhan, national council coordinator of the Indian Medical Association-Junior Doctors Network (IMA-JDN). The NEET-UG question paper was leaked while the NEET-PG, UGC-NET, and CSIR-NET exams were cancelled. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBE) conducts the NEET-PG exam. Over 2 lakh MBBS graduates appeared for the computer-based exam for around 52,000 post-graduation seats nationwide. Students must study 20 subjects and attempt 200 MCQ questions. Neet not neat, mired in mess It is a double blow for Dr Sahifa Harem, a NEET-PG aspirant, whose brother, Shanawar Hussain, took NEET-UG. Dont know which is more shocking the UG controversy or the PG exam cancellation. She was looking forward to joining Apollo Hospital in Delhi in the paediatrics department on Monday a day after the scheduled exam. I was working in Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital but left last December to concentrate on my studies as the exam was initially to be held in March, then postponed to July, then June 23. And now again, there is no certainty when it will be held. At the moment, I am jobless. I dont think I will be able to join my new job due to this uncertainty about the exam date, said Harem, from Begusarai in Bihar. Authorities should understand our mental state. They should issue a public apology for causing us mental trauma. We couldnt even celebrate Eid with the family because of the exam and result stress, she said, adding that her mother has stalled her wedding plans because of the exams. CBI takes over probe into irregularities in NEET-UG; FIR registered; special teams formed Delhi-based Dr Jyoti Gupta said she is returning from Merrut, where her examination centre was. I reached Meerut a day before the exam and stayed in a hotel. Now, I am dejected. I dont know when I should start my studies again. This is so frustrating. Dr Akash Soni, who has been working as a medical officer in Singrauli Primary Health Centre in Madhya Pradesh for the past ten months, said he took leave from work and travelled overnight by train - a total of 700 km - to reach Bhopal centre. Many like me are working and had to take leave from work. It is so disheartening. Since COVID-19, we have been seeing this uncertainty. It is like students pursuing medical education have become guinea pigs for the authorities to experiment on. Doctors are already overburdened. By cancelling the exam three times this year, they are wasting the resources of this country. Its a huge loss to the nation that doctors serving the nation are suffering like this, said Dr Soni, also the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) Doctors Association Madhya Pradesh chairman. Initially thinking the news of the postponement was fake, Dr Shubham Anand Jha, a Junior Resident at the Lady Hardinge Hospital in the Psychology department, said he couldnt believe the authorities cancelled the exam at the last minute. How can they take the students lives so lightly? This is so disgraceful. My examination centre was in Meerut. I planned to travel with some other aspirants around 5 am. I know many aspirants who travelled 1,000 km to the exam centre. This is beyond shocking. After travelling all night to reach his examination centre in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, from Jaipur, a distance of over 450 km, Dr Sunreet Jakhar slept to get up fresh in the morning to take the exam. I was tired after the journey, so I went to sleep. When I reached the examination centre in the morning, I was shocked to see the notice of cancellation outside. I am no longer on social media to avoid distractions, so I didnt know. It is so stressful to go back to studies and prepare again. Similarly, Dr Vishal Bishnoi travelled over 500 km from Jaipur, Rajasthan, to Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. An intern in the paediatrics department at Jaipur National University, he travelled with his colleague Jitendra Sharma, whose centre was the same. We had reached the hotel and later found out that the exam had been postponed. It is such a huge disappointment. We are in disbelief. Some aspirants said on Telegram that the PG exam paper had been leaked and could be bought for Rs. 20-25 lakh, like the NEET-UG exam. As the news circulated, the NBE issued a notice on June 21, cautioning aspirants not to be misled by unscrupulous elements claiming to have accessed questions of the upcoming NEET-PG 2024. They said they had registered a police case. Buck stops at top echelons of Modi govt in NEET 'scam': Congress Dr Manish Jangra, founder of FAIMA, said that medical education in India has become a joke and is in crisis. We want to know on what basis NBE has cancelled the exam. They are answerable to the students, he said. We have come to know that many students are in depression. Many took flights, trains, buses, and cabs to travel to far-off examination centres and booked hotels. Some were even travelling to the centre when the news broke, he added. Dr Lakshya Mittal, who has been handling numerous calls from anxious aspirants, said that after the NEET-UG irregularities and paper leaks, there is no faith in the National Testing Agency (NTA), despite the governments move to remove the director general Subodh Kumar Singh and replace him with Pradeep Singh Kharola. Indias medical education has been destroyed. This abrupt change, following the NEET-UG scam, underscores a deeply troubling pattern in handling medical examinations and the overall medical education system in India, he said, adding that the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) should intervene and take strict action on the exam-conducting bodies. The entire education system is collapsing. He said he is more worried that Indias image would be tarnished. Many Indian doctors go abroad to study or work. Our doctors would find it difficult abroad after news of paper leaks and irregularities in medical exams. I fear they will be considered fake degree holders. Kerala-based Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, popularly known as TheLiverDoc on X (formerly Twitter), said that in his career as a medical professional, he had not seen anything like this. The most important postgraduate medical entrance exam in a medical student's life is cancelled 12 hours before by the government. Students have spent years and A LOT of money preparing for this. This is not only devastating for them; it's a mockery of the medical education system in India. Enjoy five more years of this terrible clownery. No one has destroyed this nation as much as the current authorities. Tell me why anyone would want to stay back here to serve a banana republic. Dreaming of a time when we can hold our heads high again. NEET & unclean

How many types of courts are there in the country and what is the work of each court?

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was granted bail from Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday, now faces a stay on this bail by the Delhi High Court until the completion of the hearing. Currently, the case is being heard in the court of Justice Sudhir Jain of the Delhi High Court. However, today we will discuss not just this case but also the various courts across the country. We will inform you about the different types of courts in India and how they operate. Types of Courts in India India primarily has 6 types of courts. These are named as follows: Supreme Court, High Court, District Court, Tribunals, Fast Track Courts, and Lok Adalats. Most cases are heard in these courts. Let's now tell you how these courts operate. Supreme Court The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country. If the Supreme Court gives its verdict in any case, this decision can either be changed by the President or can be reviewed by a larger bench of the Supreme Court. High Court The High Court is the highest court of a state. Here, most cases that are dismissed from lower courts are heard. If the High Court gives a decision in any case, it can be challenged in the Supreme Court. District Court The District Court is located in every district. Here, all cases within the district are heard. The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi, where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail, is also a District Court. Decisions here can be challenged in the High Court. Tribunals Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies. They are established to resolve administrative or tax-related disputes. Fast Track Courts Fast Track Courts, also known as Special Courts, handle cases where a quick decision is required. Most cases of rape and POCSO are heard in Fast Track Courts. Lok Adalats Lok Adalat is a pre-court stage. In fact, when both parties want to avoid litigation in a case and want to reach an agreement on some terms, they turn to Lok Adalat. Here, the case is resolved in a friendly manner between both parties in a manner that avoids legal proceedings. Understanding the hierarchy and functions of India's courts is crucial for comprehending legal processes in the country. Each court serves a specific purpose, from the Supreme Court as the apex body to the District Courts handling local matters. The recent developments involving Delhi's Chief Minister highlight the intricate workings and the checks and balances within India's judicial system.

Graffiti Controversy: Bank Manager Arrested for Anti-Kejriwal Messages at Delhi Metro

Graffiti Controversy: Bank Manager Arrested for Anti-Kejriwal Messages at Delhi Metro A 33-year-old man was arrested by the Delhi Police from Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly on Wednesday for allegedly scribbling graffiti at Delhi metro stations and inside train coaches targeting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and was later granted bail by a court. A police officer said the accused, who also posted photos of the graffiti on his Instagram account, has been identified as Ankit Goel. On Monday, several photos of the graffiti targeting Kejriwal went viral on social media, eliciting a sharp condemnation from the Aam Aadmi Party. Soon after, a CCTV video also surfaced online, showing a man writing on the wall of a metro station. Goel, who is a loan manager in a government bank in Bareilly, came to Delhi, wrote the messages and returned to his city, the police officer said, adding that the accused told the police that earlier he was an AAP supporter, but he became disaffected due to the ''recent developments'' in the party. The graffiti were shared through the Instagram account ''ankit.goel_91''. One of the messages written inside a metro coach read, ''Kejriwal Dilli Chhor Dijiye (Kejriwal, leave Delhi). Please. Otherwise, you will have to remember three slaps, which you planted (sic) before the election. Now the real and actual punch/slap will be there soon. Today's meeting at Jhandewalan.... Ankit.Goel_91.'' On Wednesday afternoon, Goel was produced before a magisterial court and he was granted bail. The sources said the bail was granted on the grounds that the offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) invoked against the accused were bailable. The Aam Aadmi Party termed the arrest a ''complete sham'' and said that ''as expected, he has been released on bail despite committing the grave offence of openly threatening the chief minister.'' In a statement, the AAP alleged that anyone who attacks the chief minister enjoys the BJP's political protection. The people of Delhi remember vividly how BJP MP Tejasvi Surya led a mob to attack the CM and vandalise property, it said. ''BJP offers protection to all kinds of criminals. The people of the country are fed up with the negative, regressive politics of the BJP and will teach them a lesson on May 25,'' the AAP said.

Tragedy Strikes: Child Succumbs to Foodborne Illness; Family Members Hospitalized A 12-year-old boy died of ''food poisoning'' and five people of his family here were taken ill with local residents alleging they had consumed some noodles. The food department officials, however refuted the claim. According to locals, six members of a family, including three three children, in Puranpur area fell ill after having noodles and rice on Thursday night. They went to a private hospital and returned home the next day after their condition improved, however, the same night they again started feeling uneasy, they said.

The condition of the remaining four is said to be stable.

Neena-Masaba to Soni-Alia: Bollywood's Mother-daughter duos

There are many success stories in the entertainment industry that seem straight out of a fairy tale. But behind each milestone, is perhaps the toil of many generations. This Mother's Day, let us look back at the life stories of mothers whose struggle and hard-earned success have inspired their daughters to be achievers in their own right. Seema Pahwa and Manukriti Pahwa Seema Pahwa had a thriving career ahead of her after starring in India's first soap opera 'Hum Log' in 1984. But then she took a long break to take care of her son Mayank and daughter Manukriti. Once her children grew up, Seema eventually returned to acting along with her theatrical roots by performing plays like 'Saag Meat' and directing Zee Theatre's literary anthology 'Koi Baat Chale.' She has also featured in multiple TV shows, and films like 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', 'Bareilly Ki Barfi' and 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.' She has also directed the film 'Ramprasad ki Tehrvi.' Manukriti too has made a name for herself on stage and made her cinematic debut in Yash Raj's 2018 production, 'Sui Dhaaga' where Seema also played a pivotal part. She also assisted Seema during the making of 'Koi Baat Chale' and is all set to create a legacy of her own on stage and in films just like her mother. She is incidentally married to Shahid Kapoor's stepbrother Ruhan and is Supriya Pathaks daughter-in-law. Lillete Dubey - Ira Dubey Multifaceted actor and theatre director Lillete Dubey's theater journey began in 1973 when she along with Barry John and peers co-founded 'Theatre Action Group' (TAG). Over the decades, she has worked in Indian and international productions, on stage, on television, and in films like 'Zubeidaa', 'Monsoon Wedding', 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' and many more. In 1991, she set up 'The Primetime Theatre Company' and for over three decades has showcased original Indian plays and regional adaptations for a global audience. Her acclaimed body of work includes Zee Theatre's teleplays like 'Adhe Adhure', and 'Womanly Voices'. Her career and fulfilling family life have also given her daughters Neha and Ira, roots and wings. Ira is a trained actor and is juggling theatre productions like '30 Days in September', 'Womanly Voices' and 'Adhe Adhure' with films like 'Aisha', and 'Dear Zindagi.' She has also toured with the internationally acclaimed one-woman show, '9 Parts of Desire', directed by Lillete. Neena Gupta - Masaba Gupta In her autobiography 'Sach Kahoon Toh,' celebrated actor Neena Gupta recalls how as a single mom, she would take her daughter to work with her including on the set of 'Tipu Sultan' which was tragically engulfed in fire. Both mother and daughter have come a long way since then. Neena who has appeared in cult films ('Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro', 'Saath Saath', 'Utsav'), starred in the clutter-breaking Doordarshan show 'Khandaan' and directed a TV drama ('Saans') is now also enjoying major commercial success via hits like 'Badhaai Ho' and 'The Last Color'. Her work in the OTT show 'Panchayat' has also been critically acclaimed. Daughter Masaba, after establishing herself as a fashion and beauty entrepreneur, has also successfully ventured into acting with the popular Netflix show, 'Masaba Masaba' where Neena plays herself with trademark candor. Both women exemplify success, grit, resilience and also well-deserved personal and professional triumph. Soni Razdan-Alia Bhatt Soni Razdan was an important part of new-age cinema including 'Chowringhee Lane', 'Mandi', 'Saaransh', 'Trikaal', 'Khamosh', 'Daddy,' 'Buniyaad' and many more. She also starred in the superhit Doordarshan show 'Buniyaad' but a big mainstream break eluded her. However, right from her debut as 'Student of the Year', her daughter cracked the code of commercial success. Alia Bhatt's work in 'Highway', 'Raazi' where she starred with Soni, 'Gully Boy,' 'Dear Zindagi' and more recently in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' has made her the darling of critics as well.

High Voter Turnout in Third Phase; Clashes and Allegations Mar West Bengal and UP Voting

High Voter Turnout in Third Phase; Clashes and Allegations Mar West Bengal and UP Voting Nearly 65 per cent voter turnout was recorded on Tuesday in the third phase of Lok Sabha elections in 93 constituencies spread over 11 states and Union Territories with stray incidents of violence in West Bengal. Assam recorded the highest turnout at 81.71 per cent followed by West Bengal at 76.52 per cent and Goa at 75.20 per cent, while Uttar Pradesh witnessed the lowest at 57.34 per cent, with Bihar at 58.18 per cent, Gujarat at 59.51 per cent and Maharashtra at 61.44 per cent doing slightly better, according to the figures from the Election Commission at 12.15 am. The overall voting percentage was 64.58 per cent. According to the EC, the figures are an ''approximate trend'' and are likely to rise as data is being collected. While the official time for the voting to conclude is 6 pm, it can go beyond to enable voters who have come in the queue before the end of fixed polling hours to exercise their franchise. Among other states and UTs, Chhattisgarh recorded 71.06 per cent polling, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu 69.87 per cent, Karnataka 70.41 per cent, and Madhya Pradesh 66.05 per cent, according to the EC. As many as 17.24 crore people, including 8.39 crore females, were eligible to vote in the third phase and 1.85 lakh polling stations manned by 18.5 lakh officials had been set up. With this, voting has been completed in 20 states/UTs and 282 Lok Sabha seats out of 543. The overall voting percentage in the first and second phases was 66.14 per cent and 66.71 per cent respectively. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were among those who exercised their franchise in Gujarat, where elections were held in 25 seats. While PM Modi cast his vote at a polling booth in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency, Shah voted at a polling booth in Ahmedabad. Shah (Gandhinagar) is among the bigwigs in the fray along with Union ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia (Guna), Mansukh Mandaviya (Porbandar), Parshottam Rupala (Rajkot), Pralhad Joshi (Dharwad) and SP Singh Baghel (Agra). The stakes are high for the BJP in this round as it had won an overwhelming majority of these seats, including all in Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, in the last election. Both the BJP and the INDIA bloc claimed that they had the upper hand after the third phase. ''Across all the states and UTs, voters from all walks of life have placed their faith in the NDA and our development agenda. INDI Alliance is losing even more steam, thanks to their regressive economics and outdated votebank politics,'' Modi said on X. The Congress claimed that the BJP has been wiped out in the south and reduced to half of its strength after the three phases ''Its very clear that for the BJP, it is South mein Saaf, North mein Half,'' Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on X. In Uttar Pradesh, where several members of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav's family are contesting, party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP workers were trying to ''loot booths'' in Mainpuri and people from opposition parties were being detained in police stations. Yadav cast his vote in Saifai (Etawah) in Mainpuri constituency where his wife and sitting MP Dimple Yadav is contesting. Sporadic incidents of violence marred the polling in the four constituencies in West Bengal as TMC, BJP and Congress-CPI(M) workers clashed with each other in various parts of Murshidabad and Jangipur seats. According to state election officials, Murshidabad registered the highest voter turnout of 80.13 per cent followed by Maldaha Dakshin (76.15 pc), Maldaha Uttar (75.92 pc), and Jangipur (73.71 pc). The TMC, BJP, and the Congress-CPI(M) alliance lodged separate complaints related to poll violence, voter intimidation, and assaults on poll agents. The EC received 182 complaints by 9 am, most of which were from Murshidabad and Jangipur constituencies. ''The TMC has unleashed a reign of terror in the entire constituency. Strict action must be taken by the Election Commission,'' Left-Congress combine candidate Mohammed Salim said in Murshidabad seat. In the Karimpur area of the seat, clashes were reported between the TMC and the CPI(M) supporters outside a few booths. Clashes were reported between the TMC and the Congress activists from the Domkol area. In some areas, TMC workers held protests alleging that central forces were assisting BJP workers in ''intimidating'' voters at booths in the Maldaha North constituency. In Uttar Pradesh, Agra witnessed 53.99 per cent polling, Aonla 57.08 per cent, Budaun 54.05 per cent, Bareilly 57.88 per cent, Etah 59.17 per cent, Fatehpur Sikri 57.09 per cent, Firozabad 58.22 per cent, Hathras 55.36 per cent, Mainpuri 58.59 per cent and Sambhal 62.81 per cent. ''In Mainpuri, BJP people are trying to loot booths. They are detaining opposition people in police stations,'' SP chief Yadav alleged without elaborating. ''There is information from some places that the government is using force. It is heard that officers have been deployed outside polling booths,'' he said. In Budaun, the villagers of Dhoranpur boycotted the polling to protest against the alleged non-fulfilment of their demand for a road. District Magistrate Manoj Kumar said the issue has come to his notice and a sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) has been sent to the village. Not a single vote was also cast in three villages of Firozabad -- Nagla Jawahar, Neem Kheria and Nagla Umar -- as the villagers tried to draw the administration's attention to their problems. SP candidate Aditya Yadav in Budaun alleged that his party supporters were not being allowed to vote in some places. ''I have made a complaint in this regard with the EC observer and have given proof of police atrocities. We are only getting assurances,'' he said. Queues were seen at polling booths in most Lok Sabha segments in northern districts of Karnataka. Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi and Bhagwanth Khuba, and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge were among those who came in early to cast their votes. Former chief minister B S Yediyurappa along with sons B Y Raghavendra, BJP candidate from Shimoga Lok Sabha segment, and B Y Vijayendra, party's state president, along with other family members cast their vote at Shikaripura in Shivamogga district. Two government officials on poll duty died in Karnataka after suffering a heart attack, sources in the Election Commission said. A 45-year-old woman polling officer - Kaushika Babariya- deployed at a polling booth in Amreli district of Gujarat, also died of a heart attack. In Gujarat, the Banaskantha district collector ordered an inquiry after Congress Lok Sabha candidate Geniben Thakor alleged that electors were threatened and asked to vote for the BJP by some youngsters posing as Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel at a polling station. In Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, his wife Sunetra Pawar, who is the NCP candidate from the Baramati Lok Sabha seat, and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar were among those who cast their votes. Sharad Pawar was welcomed with a traditional 'aarti' as he arrived at a polling booth in the Malegaon area of Baramati constituency in Pune district. Ajit Pawar and Sunetra Pawar cast their votes at a polling booth in Katewadi area of Baramati. Sunetra is pitted against her sister-in-law Supriya Sule, Sharad Pawar's daughter and the sitting MP from there. In Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accompanied by his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma and daughter Sukanya Sarma exercised his franchise at Amingaon in Barpeta Lok Sabha seat. Amid rains, people used different modes of transport, including boats, to reach the polling stations across Guwahati, Barpeta, Dhubri and Kokrajhar constituencies. With the BJP bagging Surat unopposed, 25 seats in Prime Minister Modi's home state of Gujarat went to polls on Tuesday, besides 11 seats in Maharashtra, 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh, the remaining 14 of the 28 in Karnataka, seven in Chhattisgarh, five in Bihar, four each in Assam and West Bengal, and all two in Goa.

Meanwhile, during the day, a group of Muslim women in Badaun's Sahaswan assembly segment claimed that they were stopped from casting their vote. They also alleged that the men accompanying them were beaten up by police. However, Badaun District Magistrate Manoj Kumar refuted the charges, saying people who had already cast their votes were gathering unnecessarily and police had to move them away to maintain law and order. Samajwadi Party leaders remarks on Ram temple stirs controversy amid Lok Sabha polls Incidents of poll boycott were also reported from a number of places including Dhoranpur village of Badaun. Villagers boycotted the poll for the first three hours, saying their demand for a road was not fulfilled. Later, a sub-divisional magistrate reached the village and persuaded the local people to vote. Reports of poll boycotts also came in from Nagla Jawahar, Neem Kheria and Nagla Umar villages in Ferozabad. However, later with the district administration's intervention, the villagers cast their votes. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that BJP workers were preparing to loot booths in Mainpuri without giving details. He also alleged rigging at some places. In another allegation, BJP leader Prem Shankar Shakya said stones were pelted on him when he was going to vote along with the party's former district unit chief Pradeep Chauhan and others in Mainpuri's Kusmara area.
