Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma gets 3 months jail in cheque bounce case; arrest warrant issued

MUMBAI: A court here has sentenced filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma to three months imprisonment in a cheque bounce case and issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against him. Judicial Magistrate (First Class) in Andheri, YP Pujari, on Tuesday convicted Varma for the offence punishable under the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court has also directed the filmmaker to pay a compensation of Rs 3,72,219 to the complainant within three months from the date of the order. The detailed order was not available yet. Since Varma was not present before the court when the order was passed, it issued a standing non-bailable warrant against him for his arrest for execution of the sentence as per the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). The complaint of cheque bounce was registered against Varma's firm in 2018 by a company. The court had granted bail to Varma in April 2022 on a cash security of Rs 5,000.

Shiv Sena (UBT) demands Bharat Ratna for Bal Thackeray

MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Thursday demanded the Bharat Ratna for Shiv Sena founder late Bal Thackeray. Speaking on the occasion of the late leader's 99th birth anniversary, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the BJP-led government has in the last ten years conferred the country's highest civilian honour on some persons who did not deserve it. But the man who truly sowed the seeds of Hindutva in the country must also be given the Bharat Ratna. Why has he not been given Bharat Ratna? ' Hindu-hriday Samrat ' Bal Thackeray must be honoured with the award. This is Shiv Sena (UBT)'s demand, he said. Raut noted that Thackeray's birth centenary was a year away. Before the centenary starts, it is necessary that he gets the Bharat Ratna. You could not give the Bharat Ratna to Veer Savarkar. If you give Bharat Ratna to Bala-saheb, it will also be an honour for Veer Savarkar, the Rajya Sabha member further said. His party colleague and Mumbai South MP Arvind Sawant also made the same demand, saying that Thackeray showed the country what Hindutva ideals are. The government (at the Centre) which calls itself pro-Hindutva must honour him with Bharat Ratna. We strongly demand this, he said after paying respects to Thackeray at his memorial at the Shivaji Park in central Mumbai. Raut, meanwhile, took a swipe at the rival Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, likening it to Chinese firecrackers that won't burst. The real Shiv Sena is at ' Matoshri ', the Thackeray family's residence in Bandra where Uddhav Thackeray lives with his family, he said. There are counterfeit medicines, clothes in the market...There are Chinese crackers. They don't burst but there are only sparks. Such products are being brought by the BJP, he said.
