Cops bust fake embassy in Ghaziabad; man running 'West Arctica' consulate arrested
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Police's Special Task Force has unearthed a fake embassy operating in Ghaziabad and has arrested a man who ran the consulate while claiming to be a diplomat of non-existent West Arctica, a senior official said on Wednesday. The accused, Harsh Vardhan Jain, a resident of Kavi Nagar in Ghaziabad, was arrested on Tuesday. According to the STF's Noida unit, preliminary investigations suggest that Jain was engaged in brokering deals by falsely promising job placements for companies and individuals in foreign countries. He is also suspected to be involved in running a hawala racket through shell companies, the agency said, adding the accused used morphed photos showing him with the prime minister, the president, and other dignitaries to mislead people. Additional Director General of Police Amitabh Yash said the accused was running the bogus embassy from a rented house and projected himself as a consul or ambassador of non-existent countries such as West Arctica, Saborga, Poulvia, and Lodonia, and moved around in vehicles bearing fake diplomatic number plates. Interrogation revealed that the accused had associations with controversial godman Chandraswami and international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi in the past. In 2011, Jain was booked in a case related to the recovery of an illegal satellite phone. Following his arrest on Tuesday, four vehicles bearing fake diplomatic number plates, 12 forged diplomatic passports of the so-called micronations, fake documents stamped with the seal of the Ministry of External Affairs, two forged PAN cards, 34 rubber stamps of various countries and companies and two fake press cards have been seized. The STF also recovered Rs 44.7 lakh in cash, foreign currency, documents related to multiple companies, and 18 fake diplomatic number plates. An FIR has been lodged at Kavi Nagar police station, and further proceedings are underway, the agency said.

Private Movie Theatres bring a new experience to Chennai
There was a time when Chennaiites would drive out to the citys iconic beachside drive-in theatre in ECR, Prarthana Drive-In, to watch a movie under the stars. Theyd enjoy the film in their own private space with homemade refreshments or food from the canteen. Though the problem of distance and limited showtimes existed, it was, for many, cinema blended with nostalgia. Fast forward to today, the citys cinema culture has transformed with multiplexes and realistic visual experiences (IMAX, 3D, 4DX). Alongside these, a more cosy trend has entered the industry: Private Movie Lounges. These are intimate, sound-proof mini theatres, tucked in commercial buildings or alongside cafes, where the screen is entirely yours for a few hours, along with snacks redeemable from initial deposits, and access to various OTT platforms. I work as a CGI artist for many television commercials and I often sit in studios with excellent audio and visual equipment; their quality on par with that of the big screen. It got me thinking about the whole concept of a private cinema experience, says Richard Sequeira, founder of Episodes Cafe in Anna Nagar East. Launched in 2023, Episodes Cafe was one of the early spaces in the city to popularise the idea of private movie lounges. We offer a mini theatre on a three-hour slot basis and the pricing is based on the number of people, generally starting at `1,499 for four people, he adds. Several such lounges in the city started as niche alternatives to cinema theatres, but people use them as places for celebrating special occasions. The Gen Zs have experienced various types of birthday celebrations growing up. Typically, when they were in primary school, birthday parties were held in the comfort of their living room, decorated by their elder siblings and parents with a few balloons and hand-cut chart decorations. Friends from school, private tuition classes, the neighbourhood, and cousins were always in attendance. There were samosas and packaged drinks served in disposable tableware, and the biggest piece of cake was served to the birthday kids best friend. As they entered their teenage years, party halls took over buffets served, the guestlists ran longer, dancefloors were set up with a DJ, and the culture of customised return gifts entered the birthday scene. Now, as they enter adulthood, they opt for new-age celebrations that are quieter and intimate, but with a film. The fact that its a private movie lounge that is unique compared to other celebration venues is what makes people opt for this concept, says Helsi Riya Infant, a recent visitor to Episodes Cafe. She also adds that there are only a few options for celebration when places are struck down due to various constraints like affordability, privacy, and versatility. I found it on Google while scrolling for cool hangout places. Honestly, its (private movie lounges) a whole other vibe super comfy, private, and perfect to chill with your gang or bae. You can celebrate any occasion without random people around, which makes it feel more special and personal, says Soundara Pandian M, who visited two private theatres: The Big Screen, Velachery, and The Dark Room, Gopalapuram. One of the largest chains in this business is The Binge Town, which was set up first in Bengaluru. In June 2025, they came to Chennais Perungudi. Chetan Agrawal, one of the founders, says, We call ourselves Private Theatre Celebration Venues. The idea came to us towards the end of the pandemic when OTT was on the rise. We started off as a completely private theatre service, but within weeks, customers started asking for basic decorations inside the screen for celebrating their special occasions. What began with a single room in Bengaluru has now resulted in 58 private theatre spaces spread across 16 branches, including those in six metro cities Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Noida. Chetan says that over 90% of bookings at their venues are for celebrations. The business owners recognise the difference in the cost of celebrations at general venues and at private lounges. Privacy and cost are the two main reasons why people are choosing our place, says Richard. Concurring, Chetan says, A grand celebration like one at The Binge Town would cost upwards of `15,000 if done at home or a hotel. At Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, it hardly costs `4,000 for decoration, entertainment, food, cake, photoshoot, and more. These lounges largely attract a younger crowd, typically between the ages of 18 and 40. Be it couples planning low-key anniversaries, friends hosting a going-away party, or even children planning a birthday surprise for grandparents or parents, the idea of having an entire theatre to themselves resonates deeply. The repeat rate is a bit lower than what we would have liked it to be, admits Chetan. On average, 8 to 10% of our customers are repeat customers,he says. While other players have leaned into the celebration market, Richard takes a slightly different approach, While others have chosen celebration as the core. We have always concentrated on cinematic experience as the major selling point. Though the concept of running private theatres as a business is new, the competition has been rising day by day. As lifestyles shift and attention spans shrink, experiences that blend comfort, novelty, and control are winning hearts. In that quiet dark room where the world is on pause, Chennaiites are finding new ways to celebrate not louder, just better.

Five faculty members named in FIR over Sharda University students suicide case
LUCKNOW: Based on the father's police complaint, five faculty members, including the dean and head of department of the dental school at Sharda University, Greater Noida, have been named in the FIR linked to the alleged suicide of a second-year BDS student on Friday evening. The university administration has set up a committee to investigate the matter, with the victims project files emerging as a key focus in the ongoing probe into the suicide case. The victim allegedly took the extreme step after facing days of taunts from faculty over an accusation of forging a signature. Notably, the student died by hanging herself in her hostel room of the University. In the suicide note, she has made serious allegations of harassment against two faculty members who were taken into custody and were suspended by the university administration. According to the sources, the student was facing the charge of forging a professor's signature which left her visibly distressed. The student was reportedly told by the professors to not show her face in class again. However, the victim had denied the allegation. The sources also said that following the scolding by the teacher, the student's father was called to campus on July 14. Later, he told the police that during the meeting with the department head and professors, he had raised concerns about the harassment his daughter was being subjected to. He was assured by the HOD that there would be no such issues henceforth. Still, the student reportedly told friends that although the HOD was cordial to her father, some professors remained hostile. The professor who initially confronted her is among two faculty members now in judicial custody. Both were named by the victim in the suicide note recovered by the police from the site of incident. According to the police sources, the complaint of the victims father mentioned that she was reprimanded by another professor during a preclinical prosthodontics class for complaining too much. The sources claimed that on the day of the incident, the victim attended morning classes and worked on her lab submissions after an afternoon class was cancelled. Around that time, she reportedly visited the staff room to get a professors signature but returned from the staff room in anguish. She told her batch mates that the professor had mocked her and humiliated her alleging that she used to sign her own projects. When she approached another professor to sign her PCP samples, she was once again accused of forgery. The sources claimed that the afternoon incident shattered the victim and she went back crying to the lab to redo her samples. Around 4pm, she told her friends that she was going to her room. According to her mother, the victim did not answer her call around 5 pm. She later spent time in another students room, where she reportedly broke down. By 9 pm, she was found dead. The complaint given to police by the victims father mentioned the names of three more faculties including the HoD. Sources claimed that she was a good student and had scored 368 out of 600 in the first year. It is necessary to submit the project file before appearing in the written exam. Jyoti was under stress because she did not have a sign, said a source seeking anonymity. Police and university investigations are underway to determine whether academic pressure and alleged faculty conduct added to Jyoti's woes and also if proper support were in place for students under distress.
