MUMBAI: Sharing the space with the likes of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Mukesh Ambani and Virat Kohli is the torchbearer of the Indian broadcast sector, Star India’s Uday Shankar. Indian Express’ list of most powerful Indians has ranked him at 69, making him the sole representative of the entire broadcast industry of the country.

Those who made the top 100 include people from various walks of life–politicians, Bollywood actors, businessmen and cricketers. In December 2017, Shankar was bumped up from the position of Star India CEO and chairman to 21st Century Fox Asia president. Taking pride in Shankar’s work, 21 Century Fox executive chairman Lachlan Murdoch and CEO James Murdoch commented, “Uday’s new role will enhance our strategic focus across all of Asia and enable us to further capture opportunities, building on the transformation Star India has driven in our most important growth market.”



Under Shankar’s leadership, Star India has grown by leaps and bounds. In September, Star succes…

A day after announcing the much anticipated rollover of Jio Prime Benefits for one more year until March 2019, Reliance Jio made another tempting offer that is hard to resist for any mobile phone user. In a little over one minute long video, Jio promotes JioJuice, a new offering for the Jio users. The jio customers now don't need to carry heavy chargers or power banks. The Jio Juice allows the mobile phone users to recharge their phones by inserting the 4G SIM card.

The users found the newly announced technological innovation quite incredible. Thanks to the announcement made a day before the April Fool's Day, some users on Twitter even took the liberty of comparing the mega announcement by Mukesh Ambani-led Jio Infocomm to an April Fool's prank.

A handful, however, called it a great innovation.

The Jio Juice allows wireless charging of mobile phones. This can be done by inserting the 4G data pack that enables transfer of energy through electro-magnetic induction.

Thousands of Staff Selection Commission (SSC) candidates on Saturday held a demonstration here in protest against the "SSC paper leak scam" and demanded resignation of Minister of Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Jitendra Singh for not ordering a CBI probe into all SSC examinations.

The SCC candidates gathered at Parliament Street at 11 a.m seeking a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged paper leak in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination held in February.

There have been two paper leaks in a span of 2 months – SSC paper in February and the CBSE’s Economics and Maths papers. Coincidentally though, the officials in key positions at both SSC and CBSE are Gujarat-cadre IAS officers. #PaperLeak

Mr Singh said that 3334 criminals were arrested, 48 were gunned down in which reward of Rs 5000 to Rs 1 lakh was announced on 2000 criminals. He said that 6868 convicted surrendered in court after cancelling their bail which indicated improving law and order condition in state.

The Union government on Friday appointed 13 Joint Secretaries to various Ministries. Among those who figure on the list is a Karnataka- cadre Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Ritvik Pandey, who has been appointed Joint Secretary in the Department of Revenue.

He replaces Uday Singh Kumawat, who has been shunted out from the crucial position after a controversy over a visit to France. Mr. Kumawat is a 1993-batch IAS officer of the Bihar cadre. A senior parliamentarian had tweeted about Mr. Kumawat, triggering a controversy.

Mr. Pandey is an old hand in the Ministry of Finance, having served as Director (Budget) in the Ministry at the Centre, and as Commercial Tax Commissioner in his parent cadre, Karnataka. It may be noted that he is the son-in-law of Nripendra Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi

CHINA has bolstered its fighter jet arsenal along its southwestern borders to prepare for a “possible military confrontation” that could lead to the outbreak of World War 3 with India, it has been revealed.

Heavy deployment of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) personnel close to last year’s site of confrontation and hectic build-up by the Chinese in North Doklam, including concrete posts, helipads, new trenches, and a concrete observation tower less than 10 metres from the Indian Army’s most forward trench. Fighting posts have been created on almost every hillock on the North Doklam plateau, according to his reports, confirming sporadic media reports of Chinese troops digging in rather than leaving the area.

New Delhi has also made military moves with the country reportedly adding its Su-30 MKI fighters to its border.

Geng Shuang was recently asked about military moves from India and emphasised that both countries wish to maintain “peace and tranquility” on the border.

He continued: "We…

New Delhi: Indian Railways has decided to outsource operation and maintenance of five railway stations to firms outside state control for 15 years to improve customer experience.

The railway stations, to be outsourced under the pilot project called Integrated Station Management, are Pune, Bengaluru, Secunderabad, Anand Vihar (in New Delhi) and Chandigarh.

These five stations, along with the Habibganj railway station in Bhopal, will take the number of stations in India being privately managed to six.



According to Indian Railways, the stations will be handed over to state-run Indian Railways Station Development Corp. (IRSDC) for a makeover. IRSDC will subsequently invite bids from private firms for operation and maintenance of the stations.

Just a few hours after Bajaj announced that it will be joining hands with one of the world leaders in making two-wheeler, Triumph, to take on Royal Enfield’s soon to be launched beasts. It has been found that the latter seems to have taken a leap forward, leaving Bajaj biting the dust. Recently, Royal Enfield has now joined the list of automakers that are said to be going big with their electrical projects in India. Confirming the reports of entering the electrically run bikes, Royal Enfield’s president, Rudratej Singh said that the famous Indian retro motorcycle giant — Royal Enfield — is now developing an electric motorcycle for the Indian market.

Even though there are a couple of years before the brands actually put up the electrically run bike up for sale, it seems to be turning all heads with just its announcement and R&Ds. Talking to Autocar, Royal Enfield’s president Rudratej Singh said that there is no indicative timeline for RE’s electric platform development. He said, “At…

The film 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' is one of the most highly awaited films in Tollywood, given that it brings two cinematic legends —Chiranjeevi and Amitabh Bachchan — on-screen together. And with the shooting getting underway, things were only getting more exciting for cinema lovers. The buzz reached a crescendo when Big B himself shared exclusive snapshots of his character from the film. "SYEERA .. !! Narasimha Reddy .. the joy and honour of working with Chiranjeevi Garu .. !! (sic)," Big B posted on Twitter, along with images of his character.

In Baaghi 2, Tiger Shroff plays Captain Ranveer Pratap Singh or Ronnie who is in the army. Based in Kashmir, Ronnie is in a special ops team. Meanwhile, we are introduced to Neha (Disha Patani) who is attacked by men in front of her daughter’s playschool and sees her daughter Rhea kidnapped. Neha doesn’t know whom to turn to and after years calls up her ex-boyfriend Ronnie for help. And this is where the film begins. Ronnie comes to Goa to meet Neha and find out what happened. He starts to investigate the kidnapping but at every turn, he is told Rhea doesn’t exist and is a figment of Neha’s imagination.

Neha’s husband says she’s crazy and the cops reiterate this. Neha’s brother-in-law is Sunny (Prateik Babbar) who are involved in illicit activities and Ronnie has a run-in with him and the cops (Randeep Hooda and Manoj Bajpayee). What happened to Neha? Does Rhea exist? Does Ronnie find Rhea? Tiger Shroff is in his element in this film which is a remake of the superhit Telugu film ‘Kshan…

Anna Hazare today ended his six-day fast after the Central government said his demands were accepted. While ending his fast at Ramlila Maidan, he said he has been assured by the government that appointments of Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in the states would be made soon. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minster of State for Agriculture Gajendra Shekhawat conveyed him messages of Central government. Hazare said that he has given the government six months time to come good on its assurance and warned that his protest will again begin in September if the demands were not met.

TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN: Central Asia's biggest military power Uzbekistan has offered India a unique proposal, giving its territory to set up a defence manufacturing unit which could allow Delhi to make strategic inroads in the resource-rich region. The proposal is still in its nascent stages even as India plans to export defence equipment to Uzbekistan, officials familiar with the issue indicated to ET.

If the Indian government decides to set up a defence manufacturing unit in Uzbekistan, it will be the first such venture abroad and will enable Delhi to gain a strategic foothold in Eurasia amid massive Chinese inroads. India, currently expanding as well as exploring defence exports to friendly partners in South Asia, SE Asia, West Asia and the Indian Ocean Region, has enhanced defence partnership with Tashkent in areas of exchange, training and military medicine. The two sides are keen to give further impetus to exchange and training of military personnel, officials here said.

PATNA:The Enforcement Directorate has seized properties worth over Rs 2 crore of a senior IAS officer of Bihar cadre, who had been charged with amassing huge wealth during his tenure as the district magistrate of Munger and the commissioner of Patna Municipal Corporation.

He is presently posted as director of employment and training with the state labour department.

"The agency has attached assets worth Rs 2.51 crore of K Senthil Kumar, 1996 batch IAS officer of Bihar cadre," a release issued by the ED yesterday said, adding that the Vigilance Investigation Bureau, Patna, had, in the past, filed a charge sheet against the bureaucrat for money laundering.

Kumar had been accused of "causing huge loss to the exchequer" by illegally approving maps for builders, awarding contracts to favoured firms and inadequate collection of holding tax from prominent hotels of Patna, it said.

The government today wrote to social networking giant Facebook, seeking its response over the user data breach and details of the measures it has put in place to ensure safety and prevent misuse of personal data.

Meanwhile, Facebook said that it is taking additional steps which will be rolled out in coming weeks to put people more in control of their privacy.

The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) today said that a notice seeking details relating to breach of data from Facebook had been sent to Cambridge Analytica particularly with regard to reports in the media about questionable practices attributed to the UK-based firm in their efforts to influence elections.

"It is felt that there is a need for further information about the data breach from Facebook. Accordingly, a letter has been issued by the Ministry of Electronics & IT on March 28, 2018 to Facebook seeking their response," Meity said in a statement.

Investigations on Thursday pointed to the national Capital emerging at the centre of an exam paper leak that forced the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to order two retests for 2.2 million Class X and Class XII nationwide and in select overseas locations, sparking outrage among students and parents and turning into a political slugfest between the Congress and the government.

Delhi Police said it had questioned at least 34 people, including an economics teacher at a private school in central Delhi and a coaching centre owner, one day after the CBSE said all 1.7 million students of Class X who took the mathematics exam on March 28 and 500,000 who sat for the economics exam on March 26, will have to take them again, admitting that the question papers had leaked in advance.

MOSCOW — Russia will close the American consulate in St. Petersburg and kick out 60 U.S. diplomats in response to Monday’s coordinated expulsion of Russian diplomats from the United States and a number of European countries, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday.

The move continues an ongoing escalation of tit-for-tat between Moscow and the West that began in early March with the alleged poisoning of a former Russian double agent on British soil with a Soviet-designed nerve agent.

Lavrov said that U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman has been asked to appear at the Foreign Ministry — “where my deputy minister Sergei Ryabkov will lay out for him the content of these retaliatory measures against the United States,” he said.

According to Indian Express , A 30-year-old woman ordered a smartphone from Flipkart. However, when the phone was not delivered on time, she got so enraged that she stabbed the delivery boy 20 times with a knife.

The woman, Kamal Deep, stabbed the delivery boy identified as Keshav (28) in Nihal Vihar, Delhi, according to a report by Hindu. The woman accused Keshav of delaying the phone she purchased from Flipkart.


Keshav was rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital by the police after they received a PCR call informing them of an injured man lying near a drain in Chandan Vihar area.

“The injured was identified as Keshav, a resident of Ambica Enclave in Nihal Vihar. He recorded his statement on March 24 and based on his statement, the accused were arrested. A CCTV footage also helped us crack the case,” a senior police officer told The Hindu.

LUCKNOW: 'Ramji' will officially become the middle name of Dr BR Ambedkar in Uttar Pradesh.

The state government on Wednesday passed an order asking all departments and high court benches in Lucknow and Allahabad to replace the use of 'Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar' in documents and records with 'Dr Bhimrao Ramji Aambedkar', as signed by him on the pages of the Constitution.

The spelling of Ambedkar in English will remain unchanged, but the Hindi spelling will change so that his name is pronounced 'Aambedkar'.


Dr Lalji Prasad Nirmal, director of Babasahib Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Mahasabha, said the campaign had been initiated by Governor Ram Naik in December 2017, who had written to the Prime Minister, the chief minister and also the mahasabha, expressing his concerns over the prevalent incorrect spelling of Ambedkar.

Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party has accused the state government of politicising the Dalit icon.Many in the political party believe that such acts targ…

The Indian Express’ lead story today, headlined “Videocon gets Rs 3250-cr loan from ICICI Bank, bank CEO’s husband gets sweet deal from Dhoot”, details a stunning case of conflict of interest that involves country’s top corporate and bank. Essentially, the story pertains to what might have been a kickback from Videocon to ICICI Chief Operating Officer Chanda Kochar’s husband in lieu of a Rs 3,250-crore loan. This loan was declared as a non-performing asset in 2017.


However, The board of ICICI Bank threw its weight behind chief executive Chanda Kochhar, squelching speculation about nepotism and corruption over loans to the Dhoot family-promoted VideoconBSE group of companies. The lender’s stock price has dropped 6% in the past 10 days or so.

“The board has full confidence and reposes full faith in the bank’s MD & CEO Chanda Kochhar,” it said in a release. “On looking at all the above facts, the board has come to the conclusion that there is no question of any quid pro quo/nepotism/…

Most interviewers will give you a chance to ask them questions. The quality of your questions will be a factor, whether subconsciously or consciously, in their decisions.
Some questions may come to you during the interview, but you can - and should - prepare questions in advance. Doing research on the company or team may help you with preparing questions.
Questions can be divided into three different categories:
Genuine Questions: These are the questions you actually want to know. Here are a few ideas of questions that are valuable to many candidates:


1. “How much of your day do you spend coding?”
2. “How many meetings do you have every week?”
3. “What is the ratio of testers to developers to product managers? What is the interaction like? How does project planning happen on the team?”


Insightful Questions: These questions are designed to demonstrate your deep knowledge of programming or technologies.
1. “I noticed that you use technology X. How do you handle problem Y?”
2. “Why did the produ…

That said, there are better and worse ways to prepare. Many candidates just read through problems and solutions. Don’t do that! Memorizing or trying to learn specific questions won’t help you! Rather, do this:
1. Try to solve the problem on your own. I mean, really try to solve it. Many questions are designed to be tough - that’s ok! When you’re solving a problem, make sure to think about the space and time efficiency. Ask yourself if you could improve the time efficiency by reducing the space efficiency, or vice versa.
2. Write the code for the algorithm on paper. You’ve been coding all your life on a computer, and you’ve gotten used to the many nice things about it. But, in your interview, you won’t have the luxury of syntax highlighting, code completion, or compiling. Mimic this situation by coding on paper.
3. Type your paper code as-is into a computer. You’ll probably have made a bunch of mistakes. Start a list of all the mistakes you made, so that you can keep these in mind in the…

DELHI: Students across the country are terribly upset with the news that the CBSE has ordered the re-examination of the Class XII economics and Class X maths papers after both papers were leaked ahead of the exams.

Across cities -- from Bengaluru, Goa, Guwahati, Chennai and Kolkata to Bhopal and Patna, among others, students are furious they will have to take the exams once again even though the leak was limited to the Delhi region.

On Thursday, parents and students in several cities protested against the CBSE’s decision. Online petition have already started doing the rounds on social media vociferously slamming the board’s decision.

A 62-year-old passenger on board a Lucknow-Delhi Air Vistara flight has been arrested for allegedly molesting a cabin crew member.

The incident took place when the flight landed at Terminal 3 of New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and the passengers were being deplaned, reported agencies.

NEW DELHI: Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was abased down to any regular person at the John F. Kennedy airport in New York, as viral videos on Youtube show Abbasi being frisked during the security procedure.

Ditching official customs as a visiting dignitary, that too as a Prime Minister of a nuclear-armed nation, Abbasi, who reportedly was on a private visit to meet his ailing sister in the US, can be seen in the video adjusting his t-shirt after getting out of security checks with his jacket and a trolley bag.

Abbasi, however, has a history of making private trips to foreign nations, as according to Geo News, the PM was previously spotted travelling alone at a train station during his visit to Britain.

This comes at a time when Pakistan-USA relations have been strained lately, especially since US President Donald Trump tweeted, “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies…

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made a surprise trip to China this week, meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping ahead of planned summits with South Korean and U.S. leaders, Chinese and North Korean state media confirmed Wednesday.

The journey, which is believed to be Kim's first foreign trip since he came to power in 2011, adds a new piece to a complex diplomatic puzzle over the future of North Korea's nuclear program.

The announcement ends a mystery that started on Monday, when a mysterious train chugged into central Beijing, spurring reports of a high-profile visitor from North Korea.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) confirmed that the visitor was indeed Kim, along with his wife, Ri Sol Ju, arriving for an "unofficial" visit at the invitation of the Chinese president, Xi Jinping. The confirmation came sometime after the North Korean group is believed to have departed China.

Kim traveled with all his top aides, KCNA said, including Choe Ryong Ha…

The Chinese capital is gripped by mystery that includes an armored train, amateur detectives and flurry of Internet searches for "fatty the third."
On Monday afternoon, an unusual train chugged into Beijing Station under tight security. Passengers disembarked and boarded limos. After nightfall, a motorcade drove to a state guesthouse where foreign dignitaries often stay. But after more than 24 hours of speculation about a possible visit by a senior North Korean leader, perhaps even Kim Jong Un, it is not yet clear who was actually on the train, or why. Was it Kim? His sister? Somebody else?
The White House can't confirm. The South Koreans are quiet. And a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said at a daily press briefing on Tuesday that she has "no information" about the green and yellow train or the very, very long motorcade. Chinese netizens looking for answers hit a wall: On Tuesday, three of the top 10 blocked terms on Weibo, a microblogging site, …

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will embark on a three-day official visit to Japan from Wednesday.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in an official release said, “At the invitation of the Foreign Minister of Japan H.E. Taro Kono, External Affairs Minister Smt. Sushma Swaraj will pay an official visit to Japan from 28-30 March, 2018.”

During the visit, Swaraj will co-chair the 9th India-Japan Strategic Dialogue with Kono on March 29.

“The two sides will review all aspects of bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest,” the release added.

In 2014, India and Japan concluded a Special Strategic and Global Partnership during the landmark visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Japan.

“Bilateral relations have been strengthened in diverse sectors in recent years. The visit of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to India in September 2017 has given fresh impetus to the ties,” the MEA said.

The Karnataka elections, to be held on May 12 with counting on May 15, will serve as the stepping stone for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The outcome will especially galvanise the BJP and the Congress and could have a significant impact on assembly polls due in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram later this year. What happens in Karnataka will also set the ball rolling for future alliances and strategies.





The Congress is playing on sub-nationalist card. Portraying the BJP as a party that seeks to impose Hindi and North Indian ethos, Mr Siddaramaiah has aggressively promoted Kannadiga and even unveiled a state flag.

Minister Siddaramaiah succeeds in his scintillating plan to turn Yeddyurappa’s Hindu upper-caste of Lingayats into a separate religion with a ‘minority’ tag. Yeddyurappa will become one of BJP’s ‘minority’ showpieces like an MJ Akbar or a Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi!


But it would be a mistake to see the election as only one between personalities. Like any major India…

State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) will invest about Rs 4,300 crore to expand network in 2018-19, and another Rs 5,000-6,000 crore is likely to be the utilised for government telecom projects, according to a top official. The investment of Rs 4,300 crore earmarked for BSNL's own expansion will primarily go into strengthening the mobile network, upgrading broadband infrastructure and strengthening the core network, its chairman and MD Anupam Shrivastava said. “Rs 5,000 to 6,000 crore will be spent on government projects like Bharat Net, network for spectrum, the Comprehensive Telecom Development Plan for North-east, as well as boosting connectivity to Andaman with optical fibre network, and others,” he said. Other government projects that BSNL is executing include providing bandwidth to Lakshadweep Islands, and connecting remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh, he said. “Government is investing in large connectivity projects, where private players are not going. BSNL is being …

Fares in premium Shatabdi trains on sections with low passenger occupancy could be slashed soon as the railways looks to ensure optimum utilisation of resources, a senior government official has said. The national transporter has identified 25 such Shatabdi trains in which this scheme could be implemented, the official said. “Indian Railway is actively working on a proposal in this regard,” the official said.

The move to lower fares is encouraged by the success of a pilot project launched on two routes last year. In one section, where the pilot scheme was implemented, the earnings went up by 17 per cent and passenger bookings by 63 per cent, the official said. The development comes at a time when the national transporter is facing flak over the flexifare scheme and the general contention that it has led to a spike in fares in Shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duronto trains. The Railways runs around 45 Shatabdi trains and these are among the fastest in the country. The Railways had last year la…

To highlight the pollution threat to the Taj Mahal, the 17th century monument of love, environmental activists on Sunday marched along the Yamuna r iver with posters and banners. Activist Devashish Bhattacharya said the "Taj was being continuously sandblasted in this hot weather as the riverbed had gone dry. "Though the Yogi government has announced a barrage on the Yamuna, downstream of the Taj Mahal, no date has been set for laying the foundation stone." The protesters said "we want uninterrupted flow of water in the river to ensure that the ambience around the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort, Itimad-ud-Daula's Tomb and Ram Bagh was transformed and the air pollution brought down". Ranjan Shar ma and Shailendra Singh Narwaar of the River Connect Campaign told IANS: "We have been holding marches and meetings for the past several years but unfortunately there has not been an inch of movement to reduce air pollution in Agra which has so many world heritage mo…

Chandigarh, March 26: It is a well-known fact that political parties attract a crowd at their rallies by enticing people (mostly poor) with money, gifts, food and drinks. Almost all the big parties spend lakhs of rupees to bring together a crowd of several thousands of people in any political rally. On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was caught on the wrong foot after a group of labourers on camera alleged that the party promised to pay each one of them Rs 350 and food to attend Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's rally in Hisar, Haryana. The labourers said that they felt cheated after the AAP did not give them anything even after they took party in the Delhi CM's public meeting.

A Twitter user tweeted -

Each laborer promised: Rs. 350 Number of laborers: 100000 Money saved by not paying: Rs. 3.5 core

Kejriwal and AAP has been trolled on twitter for the news.

The Indian National Congress’s official ‘WithINC’ Android application was today deletedfrom the Google Play Store. This detail was highlighted just hours after Elliot Alderson, a French vigilante hacker, went public with allegations of the Congress Android app mismanaging user data.

A Google Search for the term 'With INC’ did return a link for the app’s Play Store landing page, indicating that the app was up on the Google store up until recently. (That link led to a “Sorry! This content is not available in your country yet” page on the Google Play Store.)


According to the hacker Congress site was not using any SSL certificate and the data was transferred on a http protocal which is unsafe.

earns huge Rs 1,097 crore! Imposing penalties on ticketless travellers has helped the national transporter over Rs 1,000 crore – a sum that could see an increase by the end Indian Railways of this financial year. According to an IE report, as many as 2,000 “touts” involved in the black marketing of railway tickets have been booked by Indian Railways across the nation. The whopping amount of Rs 1,097 crore has been saved between the duration of April 2017 to February 2018. According to some Railway officials another Rs 200 crore could be earned in March. In addition to this India Railways earned 600 crore extra per year with the help of “flexi fares” that were introduced two years ago. The flexi fare refers to the increase of fare based on demand in premium trains.

According to some officials, drives have been carried out by a large number of TTE staff, supported by security forces and were backed up by CCTV coverage across major railway stations. During these drives, there were “ambush…

The son of the richest man in the country proposed to diamantaire Russell Mehta’s youngest daughter Shloka Mehta at a pre-engagement ceremony in Goa. The two families and close friends gathered at a plush five-star resort on Saturday for a ‘get-to-know-each-other’ before the formal engagement. The wedding of Akash Ambani, the scion of India’s richest family, is on the cards for later this year.

While the dates of either the wedding or engagement of Akash Ambani have not been finalised yet, the couple is likely to get formally engaged in June and the wedding is likely to be held in early December.

Inspector general of police D Roopa Moudgil who was in the news for exposing the alleged VIP treatment to AIADMK leader Sasikala in Bengaluru central prison, has reportedly refused to accept 'Namma Bengaluru Award' conferred by non-profit organization Namma Bengaluru Foundation.In a letter addressed to Namma Bengaluru Foundation, the senior officer of home guard and civil defense stated that her 'conscience does not allow' her to receive the high cash reward offered to her.

Her letter read, "Every government servant is expected to maintain neutrality and equidistance from all quasi-political bodies and associations that have even the bare minimum political overtone. Only then can a public servant maintain a clean and fair image in the eyes of the public."
