'He provoked me': Sudhakaran to campaign against Minister Prasad as rift in Kerala CPM widens

New Delhi: CPM rebel leader G Sudhakaran on Friday announced that he will campaign against Kerala Agriculture Minister P Prasad in Cherthala and accused him of making inappropriate remarks.Speaking to reporters in Alappuzha, Sudhakaran, who is contesting the election as an independent with the support of the Congress-led opposition United Democratic Front (UDF), said he had earlier decided not to participate in campaign activities outside his constituency.“I had decided not to participate in any election campaign outside Ambalappuzha. But now I have decided to campaign against Prasad in Cherthala because he has made unnecessary statements against me,” he told reporters in Alappuzha.Sudhakaran alleged that Prasad made the comments without consulting the state or district leadership of the CPI.“He is the only person in the CPI who has spoken against me. The party has not yet officially commented on the matter. I was silent, but he provoked me to take this stand,” the rebel leader said.Prasad had recently described Sudhakaran’s decision to contest as motivated by “desire for power” and said voters would reject him.Rejecting the CPI(M)’s charge that he was motivated by parliamentary ambitions, Sudhakaran questioned whether other leaders did not also have similar aspirations.“People are elected to the assembly to strengthen the communist movement. Earlier, capable leaders were sent. Now look at the people being elected. I joined the party in 1963 and now people are trying to teach me about it,” he said.He further alleged that his past statements were now being used against him during the campaign and expressed grief over the attacks on his family by party workers.“This is why I am contesting the elections this time. Even those in the top leadership who supported the false complaints were not rectified,” he said.However, the four-time MLA did not comment on the UDF’s decision not to field candidates in Ambalappuzha.“Local UDF leaders have met me and extended their support. I will contest the elections as an independent candidate for the people. Political criminals are joining the campaign in the name of the party. People will not vote for him,” Sudhakaran commented.All 126 assembly seats in Kerala will go to polls on April 9, with counting taking place on May 4 along with elections in Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherry.As the ruling Left Democratic Front is trying to come to power for the third consecutive time, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is also eyeing a hat-trick at the top post.

Video shows Indian tourists facing discrimination in Vietnam

A viral video shared on Instagram by user @viadaksh shows two Indian men talking about their family’s travel experience in Vietnam. According to him, he was turned away from many restaurants and felt unwelcome at many places across the city.In the video, the first man says, “The restaurant also refused to allow girls to enter because we are Indians,” (“The restaurant refused to even allow women to enter because we are Indians.”)The second man adds that the problem was not limited to just one establishment. He claims that he saw signs and signals that Indians were being separated.He says, “There is not a single action of ours which has brought bad name to the country, yet they are hating us. We have come with family and the incident is about racism.”It is written outside the restaurant that Indians are not allowed.” Or “We haven’t done anything to bring shame to the country, yet they still hate us.” We have come with our families and this incident is about racism. It is written outside the restaurant, ‘Indians are not allowed.’The clip also shows a signboard that reads, “No Smoking, No Indians,” which has become the focus of online debate.

An appeal for awareness

The uploader also included a note in the video to clarify the intention behind sharing it. The caption reads, “Disclaimer: This video is for informational and awareness purposes only. It is meant to share a personal experience and does not endorse or promote hatred, negativity or bias towards any specific country or community. Travel is supposed to be about discovering new cultures and making memories, but sometimes reality hits hard.She also mentioned the emotional impact of the experience, saying, “Imagine being on vacation with your family and being denied entry to a restaurant simply because of your nationality. While we love to celebrate how far India has come on the global stage, it’s important to talk about the casual racism and stereotyping that Indians still face when traveling abroad. We deserve basic respect, no matter where we go.”

Mixed reactions online

As soon as the video spread across platforms, it sparked a wave of reactions. Many users expressed anger and solidarity, calling the alleged treatment of Indian tourists unfair and emphasizing that no traveler should face discrimination in another country.One user commented, “Why don’t we focus on exploring and supporting our country, India? We also need to improve our basic manners and overall behaviour?”Recalling his trip to Vietnam, another user wrote, “While visiting Vietnam, I saw the behavior of Indians there. No surprise at this ban.”Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content shared on social media. The Times of India has not independently verified the claims nor endorses them, but the video has undeniably started an important conversation about how Indian travelers are treated and treated abroad.

नोएडा में अंतरराष्ट्रीय साइबर ठग गिरफ्तार, शादी का झांसा देकर महिलाओं से की करोड़ों की ठगी

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: नोएडा की साइबर क्राइम थाना पुलिस ने एक बड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय साइबर ठग को गिरफ्तार कर बड़ा खुलासा किया है. आरोपी मैट्रिमोनियल साइट्स और सोशल मीडिया के जरिए महिलाओं को प्यार के जाल में फंसाकर उनसे करोड़ों रुपये की ठगी करता था। उसकी पहचान नाइजीरिया के बेनिन सिटी निवासी सैमुअल ओगुन उर्फ ​​स्टेफनी डेरिक के रूप में हुई है। पुलिस ने उसे फरीदाबाद से गिरफ्तार किया है. इस कार्रवाई के बाद साइबर धोखाधड़ी के एक संगठित नेटवर्क का पर्दाफाश हुआ है और जांच एजेंसियां ​​इसके अन्य कनेक्शनों की भी जांच कर रही हैं.

फर्जी पहचान से करते थे संपर्क
डीसीपी साइबर क्राइम शैव्या गोयल के मुताबिक, आरोपी खुद को विदेशी बिजनेसमैन बताकर मैट्रिमोनियल साइट्स पर महिलाओं से संपर्क करता था। वह अलग-अलग नाम और फर्जी प्रोफाइल बनाकर भरोसा हासिल करता था और धीरे-धीरे उन्हें फंसाता था।

शादी का झांसा देकर करता था ठगी
पुलिस के मुताबिक, आरोपी पहले दोस्ती करता, फिर शादी का वादा करता और कहता कि वह भारत आकर बस जाएगा. जब महिला उस पर भरोसा कर लेती तो वह धोखाधड़ी की योजना बनाना शुरू कर देता। वह महंगे उपहार या पार्सल भेजने का बहाना बनाता था और कहता था कि माल कस्टम में फंस गया है। इस नाम पर उसने बार-बार पैसे मांगे और लाखों-करोड़ों रुपये ठग लिए।

15 महिलाओं को बना चुका है शिकार
जांच में पता चला है कि आरोपी अब तक कम से कम 15 महिलाओं को अपना शिकार बना चुका है. वह अलग-अलग पहचान के जरिए एक साथ कई महिलाओं से बात करता था। उसके पास से मिले लैपटॉप और टैबलेट में कई अहम डिजिटल सबूत मिले हैं, जो एक बड़े साइबर गिरोह की ओर इशारा कर रहे हैं.

करोड़ों का फर्जीवाड़ा उजागर
अब तक की जांच में पता चला है कि आरोपी ने सिर्फ दो मामलों में ही करीब 1.82 करोड़ रुपये की ठगी की है। एक महिला से करीब 56.46 लाख रुपये और दूसरी महिला से करीब 1.26 करोड़ रुपये की ठगी की गई. पुलिस को आशंका है कि यह रकम इससे भी ज्यादा हो सकती है.

फर्जी लोन के नाम पर भी धोखाधड़ी करते थे
पूछताछ के दौरान आरोपी ने यह भी कबूल किया है कि वह लोगों को कम ब्याज पर लोन दिलाने का वादा कर ठगी करता था. पैसे लेकर वह भाग जाता था.

फर्जी पासपोर्ट भी बरामद, पुलिस ने की अपील
पुलिस ने आरोपी के पास से कई फर्जी पासपोर्ट बरामद किए हैं, जिससे साफ पता चलता है कि वह अलग-अलग देशों में पहचान बदलकर धोखाधड़ी करता था। साइबर पुलिस ने लोगों से अपील की है कि वे वैवाहिक साइटों और सोशल मीडिया पर अजनबियों से सावधान रहें और किसी भी संदिग्ध गतिविधि की तुरंत सूचना दें।

Akshay Kumar’s Rs 80 crore Juhu mansion has breathtaking sea views, a lush garden and thoughtful design by Twinkle Khanna. hindi movie news

Akshay Kumar's Rs 80 crore Juhu mansion offers breathtaking sea views, a lush garden and thoughtful design by Twinkle Khanna.
Akshay Kumar’s Juhu duplex, which is worth Rs 80 crore, offers a serene sea-facing location designed by Twinkle Khanna. A blend of modern and Indian aesthetics, the home has breathtaking ocean views, a lush garden and a private pool. This tranquil retreat reflects the couple’s sophisticated yet simple lifestyle, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Bollywood.

Akshay Kumar may be known for his energetic performances and action-packed roles, but away from the arc lights, he prefers a life rooted in peace and simplicity. The actor spends his free time in a luxurious sea-facing home in Mumbai, where peace meets luxury. His residence offers a glimpse of a lifestyle that balances stardom with peace.

A dream address in Juhu

According to reports in Economic Times and Housing.com, Akshay’s duplex house located in Juhu, one of the most elite areas of Mumbai, is reportedly worth around Rs 80 crore. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, this property offers breathtaking views and a tranquil ambiance that feels far away from the chaos of the city. Every morning begins with the soothing sound of the waves, transforming the home into a peaceful retreat rather than just a celebrity residence.

Twinkle Khanna’s personal touch

What makes this home truly special is the creative vision of Twinkle Khanna, who has designed the entire place herself. They have blended modern aesthetics with Indian sensibilities to create a home that feels both stylish and warm.The interiors reflect a balance of minimalism and tradition. Soft colors, carefully chosen furniture and artistic elements come together to create a space that feels inviting without going overboard. The home reflects the personalities of both Akshay and Twinkle, blending sophistication with simplicity.The main attraction of the house is its natural connection with nature. Large glass windows allow natural light to enter the interior while offering uninterrupted views of the ocean. The design focuses on openness, making every corner feel airy and spacious. Despite its modern structure, the house maintains a strong connection to the outdoors. Thoughtful use of space ensures that the natural surroundings become an integral part of everyday life.

Garden Retreat and Poolside Relaxation

The outdoor area is equally impressive. A lush garden extends throughout the property, offering a peaceful escape within the confines of the home. It is an ideal place to relax, be it a cool morning or a cozy evening.There is a private swimming pool adjacent to the garden, ideal for Mumbai’s hot weather. The edge of the pool, equipped with comfortable sun beds, creates a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation.There is also a well-designed deck that also serves as an outdoor dining and entertainment space. Be it a casual breakfast or a family gathering, this area adds charm and functionality to the home. Twinkle’s attention to detail ensures that outdoor spaces are just as attractive as the interiors.

What’s next for Akshay Kumar?

On the work front, Akshay Kumar has had a mixed performance in recent years. While some films received appreciation, others like ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ did not perform as per expectations at the box office. However, the actor maintains a busy schedule. He will be seen in the horror-comedy ‘Bhoot Bangla’ directed by Priyadarshan. The film marks their reunion after a long gap and features a strong cast like Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu and Rajpal Yadav.Apart from this, Akshay also has big projects like ‘Golmaal 5’ and ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.Disclaimer: The figures presented in this article have been obtained from various public sources and are considered approximate unless clearly mentioned.

Kuwait said its Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery was again targeted by Iranian drones on Friday, causing fires at several units. The same refinery was attacked a day earlier also.Friday’s attack came at a time when Eid al-Fitr was being celebrated in Kuwait. Officials said firefighters were working to bring the latest blaze under control, and there were no immediate reports of any injuries. The attack is part of a broader escalation as Iran has stepped up attacks on energy facilities in the Gulf following Israel’s bombing of its South Pars gas field earlier this week.

Although Trump said Israel would not launch more attacks, Iran’s attacks on oil infrastructure continue. On Thursday, Iran targeted liquefied natural gas facilities in Qatar and attacked Saudi Aramco’s SAMREF refinery in Saudi Arabia.Trump has also warned that the United States will respond if Iran continues attacking energy sites in the region. He said, “I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because it will have a long-term impact on the future of Iran.”The conflict has disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a major global route for oil and gas. This has driven up energy prices and hit the economies of Asia, Europe and Africa, which depend on these supplies.

EV charging point not source of Indore fire that killed 8: Survivor india news

ईवी चार्जिंग प्वाइंट इंदौर में लगी आग का स्रोत नहीं, जिसमें 8 लोगों की मौत हुई: जीवित बचे व्यक्ति

The businessman’s son told that when the fire broke out, the car was not connected to the charging point.

Times News NetworkIndore: A survivor of a house fire on Thursday rejected suggestions that firefighters were being prevented from entering the three-storey building due to the blaze involving an EV charging point and electronic lock.Saurabh, son of polymer businessman Manoj Puglia, one of the four survivors of the tragedy, said the family’s EV hatchback was not even connected to the charging point when the fire broke out around 3.30 am on Wednesday. “Since the car charger was not connected to a power source, it is unclear how a short circuit could have occurred at the charging point,” he told reporters.Saurabh also rejected the official theory that rescue workers failed to enter the Brajeshwari Annexe building because the electronic lock opening mechanism had become inoperable without power supply. He said the source of the fire could be something “external”, citing a video circulating on social media in which an electric pole outside the building was seen on fire.Puglia, his daughter-in-law Simran and six relatives from Kishanganj in Bihar, including a cancer patient and two children, died in the fire.DCP Amarendra Singh said forensic teams are still analyzing the burnt vehicle and the electrical circuitry of the house to ascertain the cause of the fire. “There have been cases of electric vehicles catching fire when they were not being charged. We are investigating all aspects, including what has been reported by family members, to establish the exact cause of the fire.”CM Mohan Yadav met the survivors and assured them of a scientific investigation. “We will await the detailed investigation report and take appropriate action so that such tragic accidents do not happen again,” he said.
