In a significant ruling underscoring the growing menace of cybercrime, the Delhi High Court has refused to grant bail to two accused in an alleged online investment scam, observing that courts cannot ignore the alarming rise in financial and cyber frauds across the country. Justice Ajay Digpaul, while rejecting the bail pleas of Paramjit Kharb and Ram Kumar Raman, said such crimes are “not confined by geographical boundaries” and can be executed remotely from any part of India, often leaving victims scattered across multiple jurisdictions. The Case: Online Investment Scam via WhatsApp and Telegram The accused were arrested in a case registered by the Special Cell’s IFSO (Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations) Unit of Delhi Police in 2024 under charges of cheating, criminal ...

As Bihar heads toward another high-stakes assembly election, job creation once again dominates campaign promises — yet this time, the state’s youth are strikingly silent and skeptical. Unlike the charged-up 2020 polls, when unemployment became the rallying cry for young voters, the mood in 2025 is defined by mistrust, frustration, and fatigue. 2020 vs 2025: From Hope to Hesitation In 2020, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav electrified young voters with his pledge of 10 lakh government jobs, forcing the NDA to counter with a 20 lakh employment promise. But five years later, with paper leaks, canceled exams, and delayed recruitments, that enthusiasm has given way to cynicism. Now, even as Tejashwi promises “one government job per family” and the NDA vows “two crore new jobs” through investment a...

As Bihar gears up for the 2025 Assembly Elections, the ruling NDA coalition—led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar—is banking heavily on a series of cash transfer welfare schemes to secure another term in power. Internal assessments within the NDA project a 4–5% increase in its overall vote share, driven primarily by women voters who have benefited from the recently launched Chief Minister’s Women Employment Honour Scheme (Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Samman Yojana). Women’s Cash Transfer Scheme Turns the Tide In the 2020 Assembly elections, the NDA secured 35.5% of the total vote share. However, with over 1.3 crore women set to receive direct cash transfers just weeks before polling, the alliance expects a major political windfall. The ₹13,000-crore scheme targets women between 18 and ...

In Bihar’s 2025 Assembly elections, the Nishad and Mallah communities have suddenly emerged as decisive players, especially across 22 crucial constituencies spread over North Bihar and the Mithilanchal region. Living along the banks of rivers like the Gandak, Bagmati, Kamla, Kosi, Budhi Gandak, and Ganga, these traditional fishing and boatmen communities hold the power to swing results in multiple seats. NDA and Mahagathbandhan in Tug of War Over Nishad Votes Both the NDA and Mahagathbandhan are aggressively wooing Nishad voters, known locally as Kevat, Kashyap, or Mallah. Traditionally, this community has been aligned with the NDA due to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s MBC (Most Backward Class) welfare policies. However, the entry of Mukesh Sahani—leader of the Vikassheel Insaan Party...

🔥 ** Lucknow: The long-standing political rivalry between Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya continues to heat up state politics. While Akhilesh never misses a chance to call Maurya the “Stool Minister,” the BJP leader frequently retaliates by branding the SP as the “Samaptwadi Party” — a party headed for extinction. Recently, both leaders were seen sharing a light moment at Patna Airport, laughing and shaking hands. But behind the smiles lies one of UP’s most biting political rivalries — marked by sarcasm, sharp counterattacks, and social media duels that never fail to grab attention. The “Monsoon Offer” and Political Taunts In 2022, Akhilesh took a direct jab at Maurya, saying that if he could bring 100 BJP M...

After nearly a decade, the Masti franchise is back — but this time, the laughter seems a little forced. The trailer of “Masti 4”, directed by Milap Zaveri, has finally dropped, promising chaos, confusion, and cheeky comedy. However, fans are divided — while nostalgia hits hard, the humor feels stuck in the past. The original Masti (2004), directed by Indra Kumar, was a trendsetter in adult comedy and a box-office hit. But its sequels Grand Masti (2013) and Great Grand Masti (2016)* couldn’t replicate that charm. Now, nine years later, the trio — Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani — reunite for Masti 4, releasing this November. The three-minute trailer brings back the same mischievous trio, once again caught in awkward, flirtatious adventures, trying to escape their ...
