ED Raids Properties Linked to DMK Minister KN Nehru’s Family Across Tamil Nadu

Chennai/Tiruchy/Coimbatore, April 8: In a significant move, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday conducted raids at multiple locations across Chennai, Tiruchy, and Coimbatore as part of an ongoing probe into financial irregularities involving the TVH Group, a real estate company allegedly promoted by KN Ravichandran, brother of senior DMK leader and State Minister KN Nehru. According to official sources, the searches were connected to banking transactions by the TVH Group, with raids conducted at over 10 locations, including high-profile neighborhoods in Chennai like Adyar, Teynampet, Alwarpet, CIT Colony, Besant Nagar, and MRC Nagar. Key Highlights: Political Reactions: Amid rising political temperatures, Law Minister S Regupathy slammed the ED, calling it a “non-political ally of the BJP.” Drawing parallels with other opposition leaders facing similar action, he said the agency functions as “an extended arm of the BJP.” In a late evening press conference, DMK MP and legal wing head NR Elango described the raids as politically motivated and retaliatory, stating: “These delayed and unlawful raids target DMK leaders whenever our Chief Minister MK Stalin raises constitutional issues. The case in question appears to be related to a 2013 bank transaction, already charge-sheeted by the CBI in 2021. There is no indication that it involves any new corruption charge.” Minister’s Response: Despite the tense atmosphere as DMK cadres assembled near the raid locations, Minister KN Nehru was seen urging his supporters to leave and not interfere with the ED’s actions. This helped defuse the situation, avoiding any confrontation.

Fake Cardiologist Arrested: Madhya Pradesh Police Nab Man Impersonating UK Doctor After Patient Deaths

In a dramatic turn of events, Madhya Pradesh Police on Monday arrested a man posing as a British interventionist cardiologist, Dr. N. John Camm, from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The accused, who had been practicing at a missionary hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, is being investigated for allegedly impersonating a foreign medical expert and is linked to the deaths of at least seven patients. According to Damoh Superintendent of Police Shrut Kirti Somavanshi, the accused had been living in a society in Prayagraj for over a month. He has been identified as Narendra Yadav, a local man who allegedly assumed the identity of a UK-based cardiologist to fraudulently gain employment. The investigation was prompted by a written complaint submitted by lawyer and district child welfare committee head Deepak Tiwari. He alleged that Camm/Yadav was not a certified medical professional and that multiple deaths had occurred under his watch at the Mission Hospital in Damoh, where he practiced between January 1 and February 13. District Medical Officer M.K. Jain, along with two government doctors, led a probe into the man’s credentials. Jain’s report revealed that the suspect had submitted certificates with a registration number from the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council. However, no doctor under that name was found registered with the provided number, indicating a likely case of forged documentation. Jain also noted that the so-called Dr. Camm was never registered with the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council, a legal prerequisite for practicing medicine in the state. On these grounds, the suspect was booked under multiple sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to forgery, cheating, and use of fake documents. Further deepening the case, Tiwari claimed that the accused had been prescribing expensive medications under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, potentially exploiting government healthcare benefits. The Damoh administration has involved Jabalpur Medical College to review the circumstances surrounding the reported patient deaths, of which three were confirmed to be directly under the suspect’s care. The hospital’s public relations officer, Pushpa Khare, clarified that Camm was hired via a third-party agency approved by the MP government, named IWUS. Under the agreement, 50 percent of his salary was to be paid to the agency, which bore responsibility for verifying his documents. Khare mentioned that Camm left Damoh without notice around February 12, expressing dissatisfaction with life in a small city. As investigations continue, authorities are scrutinizing potential medical negligence and institutional lapses that may have enabled the impersonation and patient deaths.

IPL 2025: Emotional Hardik Pandya Consoles by Brother Krunal After MI’s Narrow Loss to RCB

New Delhi: It was another heartbreaking outing for Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2025, as they faced their fourth defeat in five matches. The latest loss came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium, where RCB secured a rare and historic win — their first at the venue in 10 years. MI skipper Hardik Pandya was visibly emotional after the 12-run defeat, which saw his team slip to the eighth position on the points table. In a heartwarming moment, his elder brother and RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya was seen comforting him after the match. The brothers shared a long embrace before the post-match presentation and were later spotted having a candid conversation on the field. “We knew only one Pandya would win. But the love and affection we share is very natural,” Krunal said in the post-match interaction. “He batted well, and we both wanted to win. I feel for him.” Adding to the drama of the match, Krunal was the one who sealed the game for RCB, defending 19 runs in the final over. He dismissed Mitchell Santner and Deepak Chahar with the first two deliveries and kept the pressure on with a disciplined line and length throughout the over. Hardik, who initially smiled during the over, appeared stunned as the tide turned in RCB’s favor. Reflecting on the loss, Hardik said, “We fell short by two hits. Don’t know what to say — it came down to execution.” Both Pandya brothers played stellar roles in the match. Hardik smashed a quickfire 42 off 15 balls and took two wickets, while Krunal dismantled MI’s chase with a four-wicket haul and a match-winning final over. With this being MI’s second straight defeat by a 12-run margin, the team will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming matches and regain momentum in the tournament. 4o

झूठी सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट से मचा ग्लोबल बाजारों में भूचाल, 20 मिनट में डूबे 7 लाख करोड़ डॉलर

अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप द्वारा रेसिप्रोकल टैरिफ की घोषणा के बाद से ही वैश्विक बाजारों में भारी उथल-पुथल देखी जा रही है। इस स्थिति ने निवेशकों को इतना बेचैन कर दिया है कि वे अब सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर भी उम्मीद की किरण तलाश रहे हैं — चाहे वह आधी-अधूरी या झूठी खबरों के अंधेरे में ही क्यों न हो। इसी बीच, हैमर कैपिटल नामक एक X (पूर्व में ट्विटर) अकाउंट, जिसके केवल 1,100 फॉलोअर्स हैं लेकिन उसके पास ब्लू वेरिफिकेशन बैज मौजूद है, अचानक सुर्खियों में आ गया। इस अकाउंट ने ट्रंप प्रशासन से जुड़े एक अधिकारी के हवाले से एक भ्रामक रिपोर्ट पोस्ट की। रिपोर्ट में दावा किया गया कि राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप टैरिफ पर 90 दिन की राहत देने पर विचार कर रहे हैं। इस खबर के सामने आने के बाद अमेरिकी शेयर बाजार में अचानक उछाल देखा गया और निचले स्तरों से जबरदस्त तेजी आई। लेकिन यह राहत ज्यादा देर तक टिक नहीं पाई। कुछ ही देर बाद व्हाइट हाउस ने इस रिपोर्ट का खंडन करते हुए स्पष्ट किया कि ऐसी किसी भी योजना पर विचार नहीं किया जा रहा है। हालांकि, इस स्पष्टता के आने में करीब 20 मिनट का वक्त लग गया, और इस दौरान निवेशकों को भारी नुकसान उठाना पड़ा। अमेरिकी शेयर बाजार में सिर्फ 20 मिनट में करीब 7 लाख करोड़ डॉलर (ट्रिलियन-डॉलर स्तर पर) की संपत्ति डूब गई। मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक, सबसे पहले हैमर कैपिटल ने इस फर्जी रिपोर्ट को X पर सुबह 10:11 बजे (ET) पोस्ट किया। रिपोर्ट में नेशनल इकोनॉमिक काउंसिल के सदस्य केविन हैसेट के फॉक्स न्यूज को दिए एक बयान को तोड़-मरोड़ कर प्रस्तुत किया गया था। जब उनसे पूछा गया कि क्या राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप 90 दिन की टैरिफ ब्रेक पर विचार कर रहे हैं, तो उन्होंने जवाब दिया, “मुझे लगता है कि राष्ट्रपति वही करेंगे जो वह करने का निर्णय लेंगे।” इस अस्पष्ट बयान को हैमर कैपिटल ने राहत की घोषणा की तरह प्रस्तुत किया, जिसे देखते ही देखते कई वेरिफाइड अकाउंट्स और बड़े मीडिया हाउस ने भी शेयर करना शुरू कर दिया। इससे भ्रम और ज्यादा गहराया और बाजार में अस्थिरता फैल गई। हालात काबू में तब आए जब व्हाइट हाउस ने आधिकारिक तौर पर रिपोर्ट का खंडन जारी किया, लेकिन तब तक निवेशकों को भारी क्षति हो चुकी थी। यह घटना एक बार फिर दिखाती है कि डिजिटल युग में सोशल मीडिया पर फैलाई गई झूठी जानकारी किस हद तक बाजारों को प्रभावित कर सकती है।

Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s Darjeeling Shoot Grabs Headlines Amid Viral Crowd Incident

Kartik Aaryan and rising South star Sreeleela, who are currently shooting for Anurag Basu’s upcoming romantic drama, found themselves at the center of a viral moment during the film’s Darjeeling schedule. A video circulating online shows the duo moving through a packed crowd when Sreeleela is suddenly grabbed by a man, leaving her visibly shaken while Kartik walks ahead, initially unaware. The Incident In the now-viral clip, Kartik and Sreeleela are being escorted through a bustling crowd—likely fans or onlookers during a public shoot—when Sreeleela is unexpectedly pulled. The actress instinctively raises her arm to protect herself, looking disturbed. Kartik, a few steps ahead, only turns around after a moment to realize she is not beside him. While the authenticity of the moment sparked debate—some wondering if it was part of a scene being filmed—most viewers were quick to condemn the incident as real and deeply troubling. Social Media Reactions The moment has sparked an emotional response across platforms: Fans have also urged the production team and local authorities to step up crowd control and security, especially when shooting in public locations. Kartik & Sreeleela’s Project and Chemistry This yet-to-be-titled romantic musical is being shot across Gangtok, Darjeeling, and Siliguri, and is produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series. While it was earlier speculated to be Aashiqui 3, the film’s current form appears to be a fresh love story penned by Basu. Kartik and Sreeleela’s on-screen chemistry has already been generating buzz, and their off-screen camaraderie—including Kartik’s March 28 Instagram post captioned “Tu Meri Zindagi Hai”—has only added fuel to rumours about a real-life romance blossoming on set. Meeting the Sikkim CM Adding a political-cultural angle to the film’s schedule, the cast and crew recently met with Sikkim’s Chief Minister on April 2, receiving a warm welcome and blessings for their film. Whether the crowd incident was scripted or not, it has certainly drawn attention to celebrity safety during public shoots, and to the growing excitement surrounding this Kartik-Sreeleela collaboration. With a Diwali 2025 release window being eyed, all eyes are now on how this film shapes up—and how its stars continue to navigate both fan frenzy and professional chemistry.

Jasleen Royal Opens Up About Coldplay Concert Backlash in Emotional Documentary ‘Dare To Dream’

Months after receiving widespread criticism for her performance as the opening act for Coldplay’s concert in Mumbai, singer-songwriter Jasleen Royal has broken her silence. In a deeply personal and emotional mini-documentary titled Dare To Dream, Jasleen offers a behind-the-scenes look at the mental and emotional toll the incident took on her. A Glimpse Into the Struggle The documentary begins with Jasleen backstage during Day 2 of the concert at DY Patil Stadium, visibly shaken but trying to stay composed. She is seen scrolling through her phone as her team attempts to cheer her up. Addressing the technical issues that marred her performance, she asks, “What was the problem yesterday? Why were my in-ears bursting?” A team member responds with an apology, acknowledging the failure on the technical front. The Weight of Criticism One of the most heartbreaking moments in the video is when Jasleen breaks down in front of her team, saying, “After a certain point, I can feel it like ‘it’s time to go home’. There’s a lot of pressure. I’ll die; I swear I’ll die,” as tears stream down her face. She goes on to explain the deep self-doubt and anxiety triggered by social media trolling. “I don’t want people to think that she didn’t deserve to be here… I’m a self-taught musician. So, I know I am not perfect. I keep learning every day,” she confesses in a voice choked with emotion. Facing Public Criticism Following the performance, Jasleen faced intense backlash, not just from trolls but also from industry insiders. Music director Vishal Dadlani harshly criticized her on social media, stating, “When you put a basic-to-bad singer in front of a large crowd on a large stage, all you’re doing is showing more people that the individual can’t really sing… How embarrassing! For the country, the artiste, the public, and the scene.” Singer Antara Mitra and filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri also joined in, amplifying the scrutiny. Strength in Vulnerability Despite the pain and negativity, Dare To Dream is ultimately a testament to Jasleen’s resilience. Rather than responding with anger or denial, she uses the documentary to be open about her imperfections, insecurities, and drive to grow as an artist. By sharing her truth, Jasleen Royal not only reclaims her narrative but also sparks an important conversation about mental health, self-worth, and the unseen struggles that come with performing on the big stage. As the film’s title suggests, Jasleen’s journey continues—not defined by setbacks, but by the courage to keep dreaming anyway.

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone Reunite in Siddharth Anand’s Action Thriller ‘King’; Deepika to Play Suhana Khan’s On-Screen Mother

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone—one of Bollywood’s most iconic on-screen duos—are all set to reunite once again for Siddharth Anand’s much-anticipated action thriller King. With hits like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Pathaan, and Jawan under their belt, their sixth collaboration promises to take their chemistry into deeper and more emotionally charged territory. Deepika Padukone as Suhana Khan’s Mother As per a report from PeepingMoon, Deepika Padukone will be seen in an extended cameo in King. But while the role might not be lengthy, it’s pivotal to the story’s emotional heart—she is cast as the mother of Suhana Khan’s character. The report notes that her character holds the key to the film’s central conflict and offers an emotional depth that shapes the narrative. “Her character is integral to the plot and serves as the primary conflict in the storyline,” a source stated. Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand were reportedly very keen on casting Deepika for this emotionally rich part, and she agreed readily despite not having a full-fledged lead role. SRK and Deepika: Power Duo Returns King marks their third consecutive film together after the massive successes of Pathaan and Jawan. The duo’s on-screen bond is evolving into a more mature and layered dynamic, and fans can also look forward to another potential reunion in Pathaan 2, which is in the works under the YRF Spy Universe. What’s King About? While official plot details are still under wraps, King is said to be a gritty, revenge-based action thriller, with influences from the 2000 Bollywood film Bichhoo and the French classic Léon: The Professional (1994). SRK will reportedly play a lethal assassin who forms a partnership with a young girl—his real-life daughter Suhana Khan—after she suffers a devastating tragedy. The film underwent major script changes after Siddharth Anand took over from Sujoy Ghosh as director. Initially envisioned as a compact thriller with a brief SRK role, King has now transformed into a full-blown SRK action spectacle packed with Siddharth Anand’s signature elements—high-octane sequences, intense drama, and a touch of emotion and romance. Interestingly, Saif Ali Khan and Tabu were initially considered for the roles of Suhana’s parents, but the new script direction made way for Deepika’s powerful cameo instead. A Stellar Ensemble The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan as the main antagonist, promising a fierce showdown. Rising talent Abhay Verma (Munjya) is also set to play a key role in the film, further amping up the excitement. Release Timeline King is currently in pre-production, with filming expected to kick off in Mumbai next month. If everything stays on track, the film is eyeing a late 2026 theatrical release, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming projects in Bollywood. With a power-packed cast, an emotionally resonant plot, and Siddharth Anand’s blockbuster vision, King is shaping up to be another unforgettable chapter in SRK and Deepika’s enduring on-screen saga.
