A Jogeshwari woman redefined ‘entrepreneurial finance’ recently after being arrested for stealing cash and valuables worth Rs 2 lakh from her house and filing a sham robbery FIR, all for a cosmetic start-up. She deliberately injured her face and hand to add the reality element to the charade and mislead the police. The entire stunt was allegedly planned to fund a beauty parlour she wished to set up.

On Tuesday, Aparna Inamdar (29) lodged a complaint with the Meghwadi police alleging that two thieves armed with knives had attacked her in her house at Sitabai chawl, Majaswadi, Jogeshwari (East) the day before, and had fled with cash and jewellery worth Rs 2 lakh. She told the police that she suspected her elder brother. When the police detained the brother, Mandar (35), for investigation, he told them that he had been thrown out of the house five years ago due to his drinking habits and had never even visited the area where his family lived.

“After the huge success of Delhi Belly and My Brother Ki Dulhan, Imran waited for few days before he filed the PIL (public interest litigation),” said his spokesperson.
The delay in filing the suit was also due to uncertainty on his eligibility to take up such proceedings as he has US citizenship, but a queries under the Right to Information (RTI) Act has confirmed that he can go ahead with it, revealed the spokesperson.

“The delay was because the law had variations and he had to file several RTIs to get the correct picture. The RTI response came on Aug 16 and he did wait for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan to release,” said the spokesperson.

Expressing grief at his death, Pyne said, “Husain wished he had breathed his last in India.”

He said he had the privilege to see Husain from close quarters and described him as the “tallest among contemporary Indian artists” who immensely contributed to the enrichment of Indian art in the international arena.

Recalling his meeting with Husain in Dubai four years ago, painter Jogen Choudhury said the artist had a special bond with Bengal and did a series on Jibananda Das, Satyajit Ray and Mother Teresa.

He also referred to his random painting at the Tata Centre on Chowringhee Road during Durga Puja which were all erased on the day of Bijaya Dashami to mark the theme of creation and ruin.

“He was a painter who wanted to be in public domain and did not live in isolation. It was unfortunate that he could not live in his own country in the last few years after earning the wrath of fundamentalists,” Choudhury said.

He also recalled an occasion 15 years back when Husain was felicitated in Santiniketan during convocation in the Visva-Bharati University and had to be flown in the West Bengal’s governor’s aircraft to the place after arriving in Kolkata from London at 11 am as the function was supposed to begin before noon.

“We shared a bond and he signed MF Husain in Bengali following my calligraphy style once,” he said.

Another well-known artist Ganesh Haloi said a vacuum had been created in the death of Husain who as a creative artist largely contributed in creating awareness for Indianness among contemporary Indian artists.

“Husain had his own entity and never followed others which was well manifest in his great creation ‘Horse and Woman’ which had been highly inspiring,” he said.

Haloi said that Husain’s short film Umbrella and feature film Gajagamini starring Madhuri Dixit, Shabana Azmi, Shah Rukh Khan and Naseeruddin Shah had been another facet of the great artist’s talent.

Eminent artist Suvaprasanna said Husain was a creative modern artist “whom I knew since 1967 and who established himself as one of the world’s best painters from the level of a banner artist”.

Suvaprasanna recalled his felicitating the artist in Dubai along with a group of artists and said, “We had an excellent time when he (Husain) sang with us.”

He said it was unfortunate that some threat mails to Husain prevented him from returning to his own country.

Veteran artist Sunil Das said, “It is difficult to think that Husain, who is parallel to Pablo Picasso in India, is no more. A powerful artist, whom I found drawing on the footpaths in Delhi in 1965-66, rose to eminence.

“I had hours of discussions with Husain in the studio of Yash Chopra, noted producer-director, in Mumbai when Husain was in India.”

Das appealed to the central and state governments to set up a museum for preserving Husain’s paintings.

A report from IBN-live says the Allahabad High Court has issued notices to Salman Khan and Anees Bazmee after receiving a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the song ‘Character Dheela’ in the film.

The PIL has been filed by the chairman and the general secretary of the Hindu Personal Law Board. The duo has objected to the use of the word ‘Raas Leela’ in the song ‘Character Dheela’. They allege that the lyrics of the song are defamatory to the Sanatan Dharma.

The litigation also seeks a cancelation of the certification of ‘Ready’ and an eventual stay on the exhibition of the film.

Justices Devi Prasad Singh and Justice Rajiv Sharma of the vacation division bench of Lucknow have directed Salman and Bazmee to file a reply within three weeks.

Baba Ramdev announced that in keeping with his “commitment to complete transparency,” he has declared on his website the financial details of his empire, whose turnover is rumoured to run into thousands of crores. The yoga teacher said he had stolen people’s hearts, not money. An income tax inquiry is being conducted on his Patnajali group of companies. The Baba said that the total capital of different institutions linked to him is Rs. 426 crore, and that his group has spent Rs. 249 crore on charity. “Every penny can be accounted for,” he announced. (Balance sheets of Baba Ramdev’s trusts)

Earlier today, administration officials in Haridwar visited the Baba Ramdev to request him to end his hunger strike launched five days ago as part of his satyagraha against corruption. Doctors who conducted his check-up this morning said they are worried about his health.

“He has decided to take lemon water and honey so that his body gets glucose,” Haridwar District Magistrate R Meenakshi Sundaram disclosed after meeting the yoga teacher. The Baba has reportedly lost more than five kilos since his fast began. When asked if he could n be force-fed, Mr Sundaram replied, “We will do whatever is necessary to save Baba’s life.”

The Baba also devoted considerable time explaining his statement yesterday -he had said he would recruit 11,000 young men and women who would reciprocate if attacked. Today, he said his remark had been distorted and misreported. “The words should be used in the right context…I said I will make a force who will not beat anyone but they will not get beaten either,” the yoga teacher said, adding, “what is the harm or wrong if I speak about shaurya (valour)?”

The Baba’s remark – seen as incendiary by his critics – had also provoked criticism from other social activists and a warning of legal action from the government

It has been an all-out war between the government and the yoga icon since the weekend after his yoga camp plus sit-in at Delhi was dismantled by the police, some say with brutal force. 65,000 supporters were teargassed and lathicharged. Four people were seriously injured; one is likely to be paralyzed for life. The government action was described by the Opposition as a “murder of democracy.” Activists led by Gandhian Anna Hazare held a fast in Rajghat yesterday to protest against what happened at Baba Ramdev’s camp, and to pressure the government to bend to their version of a new law against corruption.

In April, a hunger fast by Mr Hazare transformed into a nationwide intervention against corruption in the government. A shower of scandals had exposed blatant misuse of public office by a few ministers and MPs. Corporate India and politicians seemed to be exploiting a mutually-beneficial relationship. Mr Hazare, circled by lakhs of protestors, won the day. The government agreed to immediately draft the long-delayed Lokpal Bill against corruption. Mr Hazare and four other activists were allowed to join five ministers in drafting that bill.

Mr Ramdev’s camp over the weekend was meant to be a sister concern of Mr Hazare’s movement, which is labeled India Against Corruption. Worried that Baba Ramdev, known for his lakhs of followers, would cause the government the same sort of Public Relations nightmare as Mr Hazare’s earlier fast, the government was over-eager to negotiate with him. Four ministers were sent to the airport to receive him -an honour that many pointed out is not accorded to visiting heads of state. Several rounds of negotiations followed. Then on Saturday evening, the delicate peace was shattered.

The government claims that the yoga teacher reneged on a deal that had been struck the evening before his fast began. In exchange for the government agreeing to some of his suggestions on how to check black money, Baba Ramdev had committed to ending his fast early on Saturday evening. When he refused to publicly end his hunger strike, the government moved in.

In recent days, the government has questioned Baba Ramdev’s credibility and intent. Some Congress leaders have alleged that his businesses have broken the law. However, last year, several ministers travelled to Haridwar to inaugurate his Patanjali Ayurveda Hospital.

On Wednesday, the Baba had said he would build and train an army of 11,000 men and women to fight corruption and warned the government that the next time there was police action at a protest, his supporters would be armed and would retaliate. He did not climb down completely on Thursday, but was on the defensive when he said he was not “training terrorists or Maoists, but nationalists.”

“The words should be used in the right context…I said I will make a force who will not beat anyone but they will not get beaten either,” the yoga teacher said, adding, “what is the harm or wrong if I speak about shaurya (valour)?”

Ramdev’s provocative comment in Haridwar yesterday caused a political storm in nearby Delhi. He had said: “Twenty youth from each region will come forward for our fight against corruption. They must be dedicated, ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. They will be given arms training. Next time at Ramlila it will be Ravanlila. Let’s see who gets beaten up.” (Watch)

The government made its stand clear. “It is anti-national and we have to take action,” warned V Narayanswamy, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. (Watch) An hour later, the Home Minister weighed in. “I’ve seen Ramdev’s statement. By making that statement he’s exposed his true colours and intention. Let him do so and the law will deal with that,” P Chidambaram said.

Later on Wednesday evening, a statement issued by his spokesperson SK Tijarawala said that the Baba did not mean training in the use of guns or bombs and that the intention was not to take law in their hands. (Read: Baba Ramdev clarifies arms call)

The government has been caught in a face-off with the yoga icon since the weekend, when it ordered the police to dismantle a massive camp that the Baba had organised – it combined yoga with a sit-in against corruption. On Saturday, the Baba launched an indefinite hunger strike. Hours later, the police moved in and arrested him. The 65,000 people gathered at Ramlila Maidan were teargassed and lathi-charged.

The incident brought together activists and opposition parties who condemned the government for breaking up a peaceful demonstration.

Gandhian Anna Hazare was also on a one-day fast on Wednesday at Rajghat in the Capital to protest against the action at Ramlila Maidan, and to push the government to agree to a new corruption law that’s being drafted partly by activists led by him. Mr Hazare- the face of a campaign named India Against Corruption – declared that his movement is a “second freedom movement.” (Read: Anna’s ultimatum to the Govt) If the government doesn’t introduce the new Lokpal Bill by August 15, he warned, he will go on another fast.
