Bollywood came alive —albeit for wrong reasons — on Saturday, as the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) grilled three top actresses Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Deepika’s manager Karishma Kapoor while it arrested Kshitij Ravi Prasad, a former executive of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput’s death-related drug case. The day unfolded as Deepika took the media Paparazzi by surprise as she walked quietly without any security into Evelyn House, the guesthouse of the Mumbai Port Trust near the Taj Mahal Palace which has been converted into the makeshift NCB office, at 9.48 am on Saturday.

  The top brass of the central government on Sunday flayed the opposition over its members' "unruly conduct" in Rajay Sabha during the passage of the two farm bills, condemning their behaviour as "shameful" and unprecedented in Parliament's history. Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Prakash Javadekar, Pralhad Joshi, Piyush Goyal, Thawarchand Gehlot and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi held a press conference to hit out at opposition members, with Singh asserting that such conduct was not expected in a healthy democracy. Singh noted that opposition members tore rule book, threw papers at the desk of the  Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh , who was in the Chair, and climbed the officials' table -- something, he added, he had never witnessed before. Lauding Harivansh as a man of values, he said the "misconduct" of opposition members towards him was unprecedented. Even if opposition leaders were not convinced with the Chair's decision, does it allow them t...

  Pakistan's Parliament has extended for four months an ordinance that allowed Indian death-row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav to file an appeal against his conviction in a high court as required by the International Court of Justice. The International Court of Justice (Review and Reconsideration) Ordinance promulgated in May was set to expire on September 17 but the National Assembly or the lower house on Monday through a voice vote extended it for four months, the Dawn News reported. The ordinance was launched to implement the verdict of the ICJ which asked Pakistan to provide effective review of the sentence given to Jadhav by a military court. Jadhav, the 50-year-old retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism" in April 2017. Pakistan government has approached the Islamabad High Court to appoint a defence lawyer to represent Jadhav in the court. The court on September 3 heard the case for the se...

  Hours after a drug angle emerged in the ongoing probe into the sensational Sushant Singh Rajput death case being looked into by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the   Narcotics Control Bureau   (NCB) on Wednesday joined the investigations into the allegations that Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty used to procure banned drugs illegally from dealers and administer them to the late actor. On a day when the CBI sleuths continued to tie-up loose ends relating to pre and post-death scenario by questioning the late actor’s cook Neeraj Singh for the sixth consecutive day, spotlight turned on a new drug angle in the case involving Rhea’s alleged links with the drug dealers, after the ED shared Rhea’s WhatsApp chats with the CBI and the NCB alleging “procuring and usage” of drugs. Acting swiftly on the WhatsApp inputs in which Rhea talks about drugs, the NCB swung into action and registered a case in Sushant Singh’s death. While there is still no confirmation fr...
