Jeetendra says hes more Maharashtrian than Punjabi, vows to visit Bappa till death
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 22 (IANS) Veteran superstar Jeetendra on Tuesday visited Pune for Ganpati darshan and spoke about his deep-rooted connection with Maharashtra. He recalled his childhood memories of celebrating the festival and his struggling days before becoming an actor. Speaking to IANS at the venue, Jeetendra said he believes that Bappa calls him to visit and that he could not miss the darshan despite not keeping well. See, number one, Bappa calls me, I don't come, that's number one. And second thing is, his love, Nimbalkarji's (organiser) love, affection, he remembers me, he calls me, he calls me with a lot of love. And I feel good to come for him. Today I am not well, but I can't go wrong. Asked about his wish from Bappa, the actor said he wants to remain physically independent for as long as he lives. I want to walk on two legs till I die. This is my only prayer. I want to come to visit Bappa till I die even if it means coming on a stretcher. On what he prayed for his children, Jeetendra said, Peace of children, love, affection of people and good health, that's all I asked for. The actor then recalled his childhood and said Ganpati celebrations had been an integral part of his life. He revealed that he lived in a four-storey building where around 100 families resided and that he was the only Punjabi among the largely Maharashtrian and Konkani residents. He also added that at his house in Mumbai, they have been celebrating Ganeshotsav for around fifty two years. Recalling his early days, the jumping jack of Bollywood said, We had hundreds of families, a four-storey building. And on each floor there were 20-25 rooms. So there were 100 of us. And I was the only Punjabi. The rest were Maharashtrians and Konkanis. So everything in my house was Maharashtrian. My mother also spoke Marathi. Recalling his childhood memories of Ganpati and other festivals, Jeetendra remembered the simple joys of receiving bundis and saving them in his pockets. In Ganpati, let's say it's Diwali or Ganpati. We used to get boondi. We used to take boondi and put them in our pockets. We used to eat them one by one. He said such simple moments brought a kind of happiness that is difficult to experience today. We don't have that fun now. Right? The small things that we used to enjoy in our childhood, we don't get in big things now. Jeetendra also recalled the modest circumstances in which he grew up, saying that having a fan at home was once considered a luxury. If I look here, even in Mumbai, there is a one-bedroom flat. Everyone has an AC. Everyone has an AC in their house. There was a fan in my house. The whole building came into view saying, there was a fan in their house. I stayed there for 17 years. After that, by the grace of God, I became an actor. However, the veteran actor said the peace and satisfaction he experienced during his childhood remain special to him. He also emphasised his strong Maharashtrian identity. But the fun, the peace, the satisfaction, I am more Maharashtrian inside and outside. Because I have a lot of Maharashtrians around me. I am talking about Maharashtrians of my time. I have never met such good people. They never had any ego or attitude, but they had a lot of self pride and self respect. They would be completely self dependent, and never be dependent on anybody.

The India South Central region, which became generally available on August 6, joins the company's existing regions in Pune, Chennai and Mumbai.

He noted that the country has about 2 GW of data centre capacity, which is set to rise to 6-7 GW by 2035, with over USD 100 billion in investments already committed.

Fake social media account, ChatGPT used in Ketan Agarwal's murder
Digital Desk | Pune, Sep 20 (IANS) A fake account on social media platform Instagram, along with ChatGPT and murder films, was used by Siya Goyal and her co-accused in the alleged murder of her fiance Ketan Agarwal, reveals the charge sheet filed by the police in the sensational case. The 5,053-page charge sheet, filed on Saturday, detailed the alleged conspiracy behind the death of the 26-year-old businessman at Lohagad Fort in Pune in June, NDTV reported. Agarwal was allegedly pushed off the fort on June 18 by his fiancee Siya Goyal, who was assisted by her purported lover Chetan Chaudhary, and another accused, identified as Ritesh Hange. All three have been arrested by the police. According to the charge sheet, the accused had initially discussed seriously injuring Agarwal and even explored the possibility of hiring someone from outside Maharashtra to carry out the attack. Police claimed the plan was later dropped because they feared the hired assailant could expose the conspiracy or create problems for them. Investigators have mentioned that a person contacted during this stage has since become a witness, the media report said. As per the charge sheet, the accused subsequently decided to kill Agarwal themselves and watched murder films and used ChatGPT for the purpose. They also listened to podcasts on how to avoid detection by police as part of their preparations. Goyal and her co-accused also researched last year's Meghalaya honeymoon murder case where Indore resident Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly killed by his wife, Sonam, during the couple's honeymoon in the state's East Khasi Hills district. Moreover, investigators stated that a fake Instagram account named 'Mahi' was created using the photograph of a woman known to the accused in order to lure Agarwal to the fort. Subsequently, messages from the account encouraged the victim to visit the spot on June 18 for a surprise birthday plan for Goyal. According to the chargesheet, the fake account was part of a plan devised by Ritesh Hange to bring Agarwal to the fort. The account was deleted after the incident. Further, the charge sheet also revealed that the accused conducted a recce of locations around Lonavala before selecting Lohagad Fort. According to investigators, Goyal and Chaudhary visited Tiger Point and other locations in search of an isolated spot. Police said that Lohagad was eventually selected because of a death at the fort in March last year. The accused thought they could make Agarwal's death appear like an accidental fall at the spot.
