A Single person driving a car or a person doing exercise/cycling alone does not have to wear a face mask. However, if there is more than one person in a car and group of people are exercising then wearing a mask is a must to avoid the spread of COVID-19, the Union Health Ministry said on Thursday.
There are no guidelines from the Union Health Ministry on wearing a face mask when a person is driving a car alone or a person is doing an out-door exercising/cycling alone. However, if there is more than one person in a car and a group of people are exercising then wearing a mask is a must to avoid the spread of infection, said Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary on Thursday.
Bhushan replied in response to a question raised–if it is mandatory for a person to wear a mask while driving a car alone or a single person doing exercise.
“In the last few days, people have gained awareness of the benefits of physical activities. We have seen people are doing cycling and exercise or jogging in groups. It is mandatory for people to wear masks and follow social distancing when they are in a group while exercising or jogging so that they do not infect each other. If a person is cycling alone, then he does not require to wear a mask as there is no such direction from the health ministry,” said Bhushan during a weekly media briefing on COVID-19 update in India.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in India, the government has made the wearing of mask compulsory for every person as a preventive measure to contain the spread of infection.
According to doctors, people can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.
People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to wear a face mask or cover your mouth and practice social distancing. So far, India has reported 38,53,407 COVID-19 cases, while 67,376 people have died due to the infection. In the last 24 hours, the country has witnessed the biggest jump of 83,883 new coronavirus cases with 1,043 deaths. There are 8,15,538 active cases in the country.
The Twitter account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s website ‘narendramodi.in’ was hacked early on Thursday morning. The US headquartered social media giant said that it was aware of this activity and had taken steps to secure the compromised account.
“We are actively investigating the situation. At this time, we are not aware of additional accounts being impacted,” a Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed reply.
Twitter suffered a major hack in July this year wherein some hackers were able to get access to its internal systems to take control of the accounts of major public figures and corporations, including U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden, former US President Barack Obama, billionaire Elon Musk, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Apple. However, the hack of Modi’s account, as per investigations by Twitter, was not due to a compromise of its systems or service. There was no indication or evidence of any correlation between this account compromise and the incident that took place in July, it added. The Twitter account for his website has 2.5 million followers and follows 968 accounts.
In 2016 December a 22-year-old hacker cracked the Narendra Modi app. Hacker Javed Khatri had claimed that he was able to hack the app. Long since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister of the nation, he has talked about Digital India. Presently, in India, internet penetration is a mere seven per cent, while those actually who own a smartphone make up roughly 41 per cent of the population. Narendra Modi has his own app which is separate from the official app which can be downloaded for iPhones, Android devices, and Windows phones. After addressing the nation on November 8, laying temporary but new banking rules till December 31 under his demonetization drive, the nation has both suffered and rejoiced.
“I am able to access private data of any user on the app. The data includes phone number, email, name, location, interests, last seen, etc. I successfully managed to extract the personal phone numbers and email ids of ministers like Smriti Irani. Not only that, but I can also make any user on the platform follow any other user on the platform. This is just the summary of this huge security loophole which I want to report. The privacy of more than seven million users is at stake if this gets ignored”, Javed told the media.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the second most-followed politician in the world with a social media audience of 110,912,648 on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, a study by online visibility management and content marketing SaaS platform Company. It has been revealed by the government of India in an RTI query that Modi’s personal accounts Facebook and Twitter are handled by the PM himself. The government of India says that Modi’s personal accounts Facebook and Twitter are handled by the PM himself. As for the tweets done in foreign languages, he takes help from the translators hired by Doordarshan.
The account goes by the handle narendramodi_in and has 2.5 million followers and over 37,000 tweets since it was created in May 2011.
After the announcement of Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor’s joining the team of the spooky adventure comedy ‘Bhoot Police’, the makers have got on board the two leading ladies of the film. Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam are to accompany the duo into the world of crazy horror-comedy.
Helmed by Pavan Kirpalani, the film will be produced by Ramesh Taurani and Akshai Puri.
Sharing his thoughts on the cast, Producer Ramesh Taurani says, “From the beginning, we were keen on having Jacqueline and Yami join the team for this film. They are both amazing artists and we are extremely happy to have them on board.”
The team has begun the groundwork on the horror-comedy, which will be largely shot across Dharamsala, Dalhousie, and Palampur.
“We are consulting experts to plan the safety measures for the team. We aim to wrap 80 per cent of the film during the outdoor schedules. The remaining portions will be shot at a set in Mumbai,” he adds.
Seconding him, producer Akshai Puri says, “We are elated to have Yami and Jacqueline on board for this exciting journey of ‘Bhoot Police’. We have a dynamic young team and all are super excited to start the shoot soon.”
Excited about this, director Pavan Kirpalani shares, “I am looking forward to working with Jacqueline and Yami. This will be my first collaboration with the entire cast. We need someone to add the craziness to this fun-filled entertainer and both of them will definitely add this magic to the script.
He also shared his views on the fresh casting of the film, “The script has gone through several changes after Rameshji and Akshai got on board. Saif, Arjun, Jacqueline and Yami perfectly complement each other in the film.
Facebook on Thursday banned BJP MLA from Hyderabad, T. Raja Singh, who is at the centre of a controversy that erupted after a report in the ‘Wall Street Journal’ that Facebook’s content policies favoured the BJP.
The social media giant banned the legislator from its platform and Instagram for violating its policy that prohibits content promoting violence and hate.
“We have banned Raja Singh from Facebook for violating our policy prohibiting those that promote or engage in violence and hate from having a presence on our platform,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to Facebook’s decision to remove his account, it added.
The action came amid mounting pressure on Facebook over its handling of hate content being circulated by members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Facebook, which has over 300 million users in India, came under criticism after the ‘Wall Street Journal’, published a report last month that Facebook deliberately ignored disruptive content from members of the ruling BJP as well as right-wing voices and groups who have been ‘flagged internally’.
The report quoted unnamed Facebook insiders that one of the India policy executives intervened in an internal communication to stop a permanent ban on Raja Singh after he allegedly posted communal, divisive content.
The WSJ report triggered a political controversy with the Congress and the BJP trading barbs over Facebook’s alleged bias.
Facebook representatives on Wednesday appeared before a Parliamentary panel led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor after they were summoned to discuss the issue of alleged misuse of the social media platform.
Earlier On Tuesday, IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had written to Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, alleging that some Facebook employees were abusing the Prime Minister and senior cabinet ministers.
After the WSJ report, Raja Singh had denied making any social media posts which have the potential to whip up communal passions.
The member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly posted a video on his Twitter account to claim that he never posted any inflammatory content on social media.
Singh, who is known for making controversial comments and was also booked by police on various occasions, claimed that his official Facebook account was hacked and blocked in 2018.
The BJP leader, who represents Goshamahal constituency in Hyderabad, also stated that there were several Facebook accounts being run in the country in his name and that he can’t be held responsible for the comments posted on these pages.
“I am being projected as if I am the most dangerous in the entire world and whenever I post something on social media, something or the other happens. I work in the interest of the nation and dharma. Cite at least one instance where there was a riot because of my statement,” he asked.
“There are many Facebook accounts in my name. I can’t be held responsible for what they post. I can’t stop them from posting something. If they like or share something, I can’t be blamed for that,” he said.
Stating that he has only one official YouTube account and Twitter, Singh said he never posted anything provocative on these platforms.
The BJP leader said he had only one official Facebook account but it was hacked and blocked in 2018. “I lodged a complaint with Cyberabad police commissioner but there was no response,” he said.
The Congress on Thursday targeted the Centre over the economic situation in the country and said that India is being pushed towards a “financial emergency”.
“There are dark clouds of economic decay all around us. Lives, livelihoods, and jobs have been ravaged. Businesses and small and medium industries lie dilapidated. The Economy stands destroyed as GDP has been razed and mowed down. India is being pushed towards a ‘financial emergency’,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said in a press conference.
“Modi Government has plundered the economy in the last 6 years by its ‘Acts of frauds’. The Government now describes its criminal ineptitude and culpable incompetence as an ‘Act of God’. Sadly, this is the only Government in the past 73 years that blames ‘God’ for its own frauds and bluster,” he said. Surjewala also said that by abolishing question hour in the monsoon session of Parliament beginning from September 14, the government is running scared of answering relevant questions.
“By abolishing question hour in Parliament, govt is running scared of answering relevant questions. Modi govt doesn’t want to answer on brazen transgression by China onto Indian Territory, the blunder of Indian economy, falling GDP, and over 12 crore job losses,” he said. The Congress leader said that the Government of India is a “declared defaulter” for the first time in the last 73 years.
“In the meeting of ‘Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance’ dated August 11, 2020, the Finance Secretary clearly said that the Government of India is not in a position to give GST compensation to States. The latest SBI report of September 1, 2020, predicts a shortfall and revenue loss of 3 lakh crore in GST collections for the States. How will States meet their expenses? This is Economic Anarchy,” he said.
Surjewala said that the Modi Government has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court conveying its decision to not extend the moratorium on payment of EMI’s by salaried class and the middle class beyond August 31, 2020.
“The Modi Government has refused to provide interest waiver also. All hopes of the middle-class lie shattered,” he added. “A government that pats its back in the name of farmers and laborers has pushed them to the doorstep of economic ruin and suicide,” he said.
The Supreme Court on Thursday declined an interim stay on an Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing its decision-making compulsory for students of government schools to study in English medium from Class 1 to 6 in the ongoing academic year.
The apex court will hear arguments on this on the next date of hearing three weeks later.
A bench comprising Justices D.Y. Chandrachud, K.M. Joseph and Indu Malhotra noted that Section 29(2)(f) of the Act says the medium should be in the mother tongue “so far as it is applicable” unless not possible, and it seems the High Court had considered this.
Senior advocate K.V. Viswanathan, appearing for the state government, argued that the government’s decision is a progressive measure and sought a stay on the High Court order.
He submitted before the bench that nothing in the Right to Education Act, which says that the medium has to be in the mother tongue. Viswanathan said the government undertook a survey and the majority of parents desire English medium.
Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayan, who is on caveat, opposed the stay on the High Court and submitted that the state should be fostering its mother tongue. Sankaranarayan argued that the choice is being taken away from parents and children, as Telugu speaking schools are being replaced with English medium.
Viswanathan reiterated that the top court should stay the High Court order. The bench allowed Sankaranarayan to file a reply and declined to stay the High Court order.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court had on April 15 struck down the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy-government’s decision making English medium mandatory and termed the order “unconstitutional and violative of several Acts, including the Right to Education Act”.
The government had issued the orders on November 20, 2019.
We Mumbai people are very tolerant of migrants; let it be Bangladeshi or Africans. From fraud mail, fishing, drugs, flesh trading, and terror, which is the hub right next door of Mumbai residents. They have localities and huge places allotted in their name. They have restaurants and trades in Mumbai. They are the representatives of fortune in faraway lands, but the fount of those beckoning fraud emails that promise a lottery win in, all these scammers live in Mumbai’s very own backyard — Mira Road, Pila house, Nagpada, and Byculla.
‘Nigerianwadi’ at a 20-minute walk from the Mira Road railway station, is evidence, they say, that the IP addresses of almost all the computers from where these fraud emails originated are traced to Mira Road. Mira Road provides the fraudsters a perfect camouflage. A fast-growing suburb, it affords them the anonymity they desperately need and the inexpensive one-room rented flats that go for as little as Rs 3,000 a month. The word Nigerianwadi was coined by policemen who on several occasions were roughed up while trying to pick up a suspect in a scam or a drug case. Many of these Nigerians migrated to other areas, including to Nalasopara. But some of them stayed back. The two internet parlors near Nigerianwadi, as a result, are still doing reasonable business. Because the owners get at least Rs 100 from each of these guys compared to the paltry Rs 10 the others pay. They sit here from morning to night. These Nigerians not only drug addicts but violent much of the time that is the reason some policemen openly admit that they were scared to detain Nigerian suspects from the locality. There were times when we lured them as recipients of Nigerian scam emails and arrested them when they came out of the area. They are physically strong and go to any length to resist cops.
The anti-narcotics cell hunts these drug peddlers. Many Nigerian drug peddlers in Byculla and other areas were nabbed time and again. The Africans have either destroyed or hidden their passports and refuse to disclose their country of origin, leaving the cops no way to know where to deport them. The African drug network has been notoriously difficult to tackle, and more often than not, the dealers manage to give cops the slip. But running from the police is not the only way the criminals have managed to hold on to the drug trade in Mumbai for so long. Following the example of illegal immigrants across the world, the African drug pushers tear up their passport as soon as they arrive in India to avoid deportation. The interrogation of the recently arrested nine dealers indicates that they too might have done something similar. The peddlers at a time refuse to disclose their nationality, and despite searching their homes, mobile phones, and other belongings, the cops hardly find any clues. The peddlers have even figured out that getting arrested can help them stay on longer in the country. Many of them try to get arrested on purpose since they cannot be deported until the investigation and the court case ends. This could take several months or even years.
One such example is Kofi Jems Romalik, 30, who was among the nine arrested on the intervening night of July 27 and 28. He had already been arrested earlier for a 2012 narcotics case, but would never attend court proceedings. In 2017, a non-bailable warrant was issued against him. He has now spent six years in Mumbai since his last arrest. African peddlers tell the police that there is so much poverty in their countries that they keep getting arrested so they can stay in India. So far only two peddlers have been deported to Nigeria since 2017, even though the police arrested 45 African dealers in the same period (29 in 2017 and 16 in 2018). Apart from charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Maharashtra Police Act, the police have now also added offences under the Passport Act, for illegal entry and concealing their citizenship. These Nigerians are a dangerous liability on our country’s economy, all those arrested so far refuse to eat anything but chicken and rice. As a result, the police are spending Rs 2,000 per day on meals for these accused.
Most of the Nigerians even prefer to stay in a brothel, the sex workers find it safekeeping them around, and they are physically strong and can protect these women against any nonsense. Losing at these men and their violent approach the customers try to be grounded. The cost of keeping them is just space in the corner and two-time meals. These Nigerians pay a better amount then the local customers, the sex workers in Mumbai play a crucial role in sheltering these drug peddlers.
Nigerians in India form one of the largest African communities in the country. As of now, there are about 70,000 Nigerians living and working in India. These Nigerians have a negative public image in Indian society as some Nigerians are involved in illegal activities in India such as drug trafficking, drug abuse, prostitution trafficking, fraud, and forgery of travel documents, such as passports and visas, trafficking in stolen documents. There are also more than 500 known Nigerians in various jails across India. Nigeria itself treats its own people very poorly. They do not care for their people. Why should other people care for them?

The Supreme Court on Friday said the University Grants Commission’s guideline for conducting the final year university examination before September 30 is correct, and states and universities cannot promote students without holding exams.
A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, R. Subhash Reddy and M.R. Shah said state governments under the Disaster Management Act have the power to order the postponement of exams in view of the pandemic, and for this, if a state wants to postpone the final year exams beyond UGC guideline, then the state concerned should consult the UGC for fixing a fresh date for the final examination in that state.
This means UGC’s September 30 deadline is not mandatory for state governments to adhere to, and they can fix dates beyond September 30 for holding final exams.
During the hearing, the apex court had asked the UGC if there was a certain situation in a state, could it override the state government and take a position on the schedule of the exams.
The verdict of the apex court has come on a bunch of petitions challenging the UGC directive to universities across the country to conduct final year exams by September 30.
On August 18, in a marathon hearing which lasted for close to four hours, the apex court had heard the arguments from a battery of senior advocates appearing for various stakeholders, including Arvind P. Datar (for Maharashtra government), Jaideep Gupta (for teachers from West Bengal), K.V. Viswanathan (Delhi government) and the Advocate General for Odisha and West Bengal, while Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appeared for the UGC.
It was India’s “Grand Old Party” The Congress Party ruled the country for 55 out of 71 years since independence. But following the party’s crushing electoral debacle for a second time, there are questions about its future as the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty at its helm is unable to counter the most powerful leader India has produced in eras, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India’s oldest party is going through a leadership crisis. Congress lost elections in 1977, 1989, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2014. All the elections it lost are due to major gaffes like the imposition of emergency or huge corruption scandals or for want of charismatic leader Congress could win the first four elections till 1967 because of the participation of Congress leaders bin freedom movement, and the goodwill people had for Congress. 1971 election was won because of the charismatic leadership of Indira Gandhi. The spectacular victory of 1984 and that of 1991 is because of sympathy votes. In 2004 Congress did not increase its seats. In fact, it reduced from 158 to 145. Still formed the government because BJP performed badly, winning only 138 seats. Though Congress could win 207 seats in 2009, it could not get a majority.
Congress got divided in 1969, and many leading Congress leaders who were part of the freedom movement left the party. It was at this period the nationalism of Congress, which was its prerogative, started moving away from the party. Also, Congress, by its nationalization of Banks, the abolition of privy purses to erstwhile rulers, and its socialism, pushed themselves towards the left. The emergency is the culmination of all these, and the party had to pay a heavy price. Hitherto till 2009, Congress maintained some responsibility both in the number of seats as well as vote percentages. However, in 2014 securing 44 seats, the party looks more like a regional party rather than a national one. Ideologically too, Congress is confused about where it stands. While in power followed liberalization and open market but now projecting itself as left of center.
These ideological moorings and the confusion that emanates from the same, is hurting the party. At present Indian people are at home with the liberalization of economy and privatization. It is in the fitness of time that Congress changes itself to suit the aspirations of the people. Congress may not completely be eliminated. But slowly fade away unless they take corrective steps. Congress may argue that it was able to capture power in 2004. But the Congress of 2004 and Congress of 2019 are two different entities. Congress of 2004 was not dubbed a corrupt party at that time. Sonia being new to politics, no negativity got attached to her. The public did not know her son-in-law’s corruption yet. Her son just entered politics, and his inefficiency was not yet public. Congress was in power in quite a few states. But in 2019, the ball game is completely different. Congress is in power in six states, constituting 6% of the country.
In many big states, it has been pushed to margins or lost relevancy. Above all, Congress has to confront the Modi-Shah duo, who are formidable opposition. Electoral politics also have changed remarkably, putting the onus more on leadership and its strategy. The demanding scenario requiring the leadership to be proactive is too much for the party. How it faces the situation will be clear only in 2019. However, it is decreasing, it is apparent. his ideological moorings and the confusion that emanates from the same, is hurting the party.

When we study the history of Congress party, we find that Congress rises from ashes only when they have a charismatic leader or strong wind in favor of them due to sympathy.
The Indian National Congress is a “sinking ship”; many of us have heard that by now. Yet it’s a bit astonishing to think how far the political party has fallen. After all, until recently, the history of Congress ran almost in parallel with the history of India itself, to an extent where the line between these histories seemed blurred. Leaders of Congress were the leaders of India and a large part of the Indian Freedom Movement owed its existence to this “grand old party”, which was not just a political party, but also an umbrella organization where different schools of thought used to co-exist together. From Gandhi to Jinnah, from Nehru to Bose, from Tilak to Gokhale, Congress itself contained people poles apart from each other ideologically. And yet it not only remained as one party but also went on to define the political system itself in India, leading Dr. Rajani Kothari to coin the term “Congress System”. The organizational structure of Congress was so deep-rooted and entrenched that it reached to the grassroots level, to the last man, as a part of Gandhian idealism.

The new drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case has taken a bizarre twist. The late actor’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty’s WhatsApp chats were supposed to be recovered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) sometime back. They have now handed over these details to the CBI and the Narcotics Control Bureau that point towards a possible drug scheme. However, Sushant Singh Rajput’s case has been taken over by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) since last week. Recently a report by ABP Majha, Sushant, was indulged in drugs exactly three days before his death, which he asked his cook Neeraj Singh to prepare. Neeraj himself has made this shocking revelation in front of CBI, who is investigating the actor’s house recreating the whole suicide act. Believing the tale, Sushant was not stable and took drugs due to his depression, and preparing for his dose was a job usually assigned to a person named Sam Hakib, but due to his absence, he asked Neeraj to do it. With this statement, the question of Sushant being in depression arises yet again.
On June 8, Rhea spoke on her walkie, which the couple used to communicate with servants and asked Neeraj to pack her bags as she decided to leave home. Some insiders told the media that the assertion to leave the house was not of Rhea but of Sushant. In his mood swings, he asked Rhea to leave the house, and the couple gradually broke-up from each other. He removed all the posts related to her from his social media account, and Rhea also did the same. Whenever two people in love come up with personal differences, these are certain common factors. We see many couples block each other on WhatsApp and social media accounts, and some even block calls. There are typical patterns when you break up, withdrawing from those who love and value you are one common feature. Sushant was avoiding the people who loved and valued him, and he was depriving himself of love and concern.
On the other hand, Rhea told all those people present around Sushant that she is just one call away if her presence is needed, she should be informed. Depression can cause people to withdraw, behave differently, or become more irritable. Today we all are praising Sushant and keep him above God, but imagine when he was alive, this girl was managing his mood swings and gave up so many film proposals to be by his side. Even Sushant Singh Rajput’s therapist, who breaks client confidentiality to give a clean chit to Rhea in the middle of the investigation. Susan Walker Moffat, who is a practicing Clinical Psychologist and Hypnotherapist, claimed that Sushant had Bipolar disorder. She told the media how Rhea was nothing but strong support to Sushant. In those dark days of Sushant, it was this girlfriend who took all the burns of his mood swings and these shrewd sisters who were nowhere in the scene. It’s Sushant who distanced from his family due to his personal reasons.
Above all, if you look back, in 2016, Kangana Ranaut had rejected a film with him stating she had date issues. Today without knowing who he was, she became Messiah to Sushant. She was working on ‘Rangoon’ opposite Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan at that time, and now she is attacking them with nepotism.
Several events and conferences took place between PM Narendra Modi and Bollywood stars, but Sushant was not invited in any of these gatherings. There was a big Bollywood gathering at Ambani’s house with PM Modi, but Sushant was not seen there because it’s the same actors, be it Kangana or Anupam Kher, they never gave importance to Sushant when he was alive. Tell me how many times he was invited to Arnab’s Prime Time? And how many such deaths has Arnab taken seriously that fits against BJP’s interest? Arnab himself is accused of abetment of suicide of a Palghar architect and his father. They both hanged themselves due to non-payment from Republic. The dead architect’s wife is presently seeking justice, but the media has turned blind and deaf on this matter.
I wonder where compassion has gone? Former CM Devendra Fadnavis and his wife Amruta share a good rapport with Bollywood because his wife is a small-time performer and singer. In 2016, she got her first visible break for singing in Prakash Jha’s movie. That time her husband was newly elected CM of Maharashtra. Have you ever seen Sushant with this couple? Because at that time, he was not a mega-star and of no use to them. Since they failed to retain power in Maharashtra, they are using Sushant’s death to create unrest in the present government and finding prospects in Bihar elections. It’s like killing two birds with one stone; it’s all about the opportunity. This party hopper Narayan Rane, who is known for making factitious noises, is resorting to anything to everything to gain publicity. He knows no difference between Priyanka Chopra and Chaturvedi but alleging rubbish. No politician takes this loose cannon seriously. What kind of circus is this? Everyone wants to gain some limelight on a person’s death by victimizing his girl. I am not saying she is innocent, but I also want to wait for the verdict pronounced by the court of law. Crucify her if she is found guilty, but have some patience and let the judiciary and investigative authorities determine her crime. Don’t forget she was living with a person suffering from mental illness, and the entire episode took a toll on her level of energy, drive, and passion. We did not even give her a chance to mourn for her beloved. In a nutshell, a lot of things happened between 8th and 13th June, which affected the couple on a massive level.
Intoxication is something that ruins a human being. In earlier times, intoxication was used to reduce the pain of the patient, but the intelligent man made it a hobby, and this hobby later became an addiction. Once a person is addicted, then getting rid of it is very difficult for humans. There are many Bollywood actors who made their special place in the cinema world on the basis of their finest performances, but due to addiction, their career got completely ruined. Sushant is not a rare example. Sushant’s ex-bodyguard Mushtaq Sheikh has alleged that he has seen him consuming expensive and imported drugs at private parties. He also reportedly took them while traveling in his car.
Mushtaq was a part of Sushant’s security escort. He served him for nine months before leaving the job in February 2019. This starting claim made by the bodyguard has made the entire matter murkier. Earlier, even Sushant’s cook Neeraj claimed to have prepared marijuana cigarettes for the late actor. Meanwhile, in his statement, Mushtaq has reportedly also said that he warned one of Sushant Singh Rajput’s managers about the drug abuse. In response, the manager told him that the particular drug was expensive and not something of the ordinary variety. Mushtaq also alleges that three to four of his staff members used to roll joints for the late actor. All this was going on a daily basis. Those days Sushant’s sisters and friends were visiting him frequently, but no one thought of taking responsibility. After Rhea left his house, he had a night party at his home. Do you really believe that someone can influence Sushant? He was brilliant and clever. His bodyguard specified that they were reportedly asked to not to leave any trace of drugs inside the car for fear of getting caught.
Mushtaq has further claimed that Sushant was highly temperamental and that no one could predict his mood. He reportedly used to ask for anything during shoots and would lose his cool if he didn’t get the same. He also alleges that Sushant canceled shoots because of his mood. According to him, the late actor sacked personal staff members for no single fault. As per the same report, Mushtaq claims to have spoken highly of Sushant on TV networks. Citing the reason behind the same, he states that he can’t say everything in interviews or else his effigy would be burnt by people. As the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) prepares to probe the drug saga in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, some media investigation has secured clinching testimony about what could be the actor’s intense addiction to charas and marijuana. Let’s see how ugly the media and social media goes and how smartly CBI furnishes its investigation.
