YSRCP hindering State's progress, flays Anand Surya
Mangalagiri: TDP State vice-president Vemuri Anand Surya on Friday accused YSRCP leaders of hindering the State's progress and engaging in malicious campaigns against the new alliance government.
Addressing the media at the party headquarters here, Anand Surya stated that while former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy promised 'Amma Vodi' to everyone but failed to deliver, the coalition government, upon assuming power, has successfully implemented 'Thalliki Vandanam' crediting funds to accounts for all eligible children in a household.
'Realising that their political future would be bleak if these schemes continue uninterrupted, Jagan Reddy and his unruly mobs are now roaming under the guise of 'condolence visits,' he said.
Surya didn't mince words when criticising YSRCP leaders regarding Tirumala. 'YSRCP leaders continue to accumulate sin by constantly leveling false accusations against Tirumala,' he asserted. Bhumana Karunakar Reddy must stop his false propaganda, he said.
Surya specifically challenged Karunakar Reddy to explain the alleged misappropriation of gold meant for sacred 'Thalibottu' during his tenure as chairman. 'Karunakar Reddy himself should disclose how much gold was illicitly taken after being melted in Mumbai, under the pretext of 'wastage',' Surya demanded. He also accused YV Subba Reddy of hurting the sentiments of millions of devotees and Hindus by selling the deity's sacred prasadam at a sweet shop. He cited an incident where Rs 2 crore worth of talanilalu (devotee hair offerings) from Tirumala were illegally trafficked through Myanmar and Thailand to China, only to be intercepted by Assam Rifles.
Surya recalled that the YSRCP's 'pink diamond' slander against Chandrababu Naidu was exposed when they withdrew their petition in court after coming to power. He also highlighted how the High Court intervened to stop the YSRCP's attempt to divert Rs 5,000 crore from TTD's fixed deposits.
Surya further alleged that the YSRCP brazenly allocated land to Sarada Peetham, disregarding regulations. Surya concluded by stating that YSRCP leaders were spreading false propaganda out of envy, unable to tolerate the growing reverence for TTD under the alliance government's rule. 'Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy faced his downfall, and Bhumana Karunakar Reddy will meet the same fate,' Surya warned.

Delhi Police bust major ATF smuggling racket, seize 72,000 litres of siphoned Aviation Turbine Fuel
The Delhi Police Sunday busted a racket involved in the smuggling and sale of Aviation Turbine Fuel in the black market, and said they seized 72,000 litres of siphoned ATF worth Rs 1.62 crore from a concealed godown in Outer Delhi's Mundka area as part of their raid. The operation by the Inter-State Cell (ISC) of the Delhi Police Crime Branch led to the arrest of six men. The key accused has been identified as Gaya Prasad Yadav, 43, the godown owner and the alleged mastermind of the racket, who is a former tanker driver. He used to allegedly buy the stolen ATF at Rs 30 per litre and sell it at Rs 50. Another accused, Rajkumar Chaudhary, 53, was a major ATF purchaser, reselling the fuel in the open market at a profit. The other arrested individuals include Ashpal Singh Bhullar, 53, a transporter operating multiple trucks, including the three seized; drivers Ram Bharose Yadav, 44, Anjay Roy, 41, and Subodh Kumar Yadav, 32. Two helpers of the drivers, both named Parveen Kumar Yadav, aged 25 and 19, have been asked not to leave the city. The breakthrough came after sustained surveillance and intelligence inputs gathered by the ISC team led by Inspector Mahipal Singh and supervised by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Ramesh Chander Lamba. Based on a tip-off received by Head Constable Sunil, the team conducted a targeted raid at a nondescript godown in Mundka, the police said. According to the police, three oil tankers, each carrying 24,000 litres of ATF, were seized during the raid. Two pickup trucks, forged dip rods used to fake delivery logs, duplicate master keys to unlock the tankers, Rs 1.05 lakh in cash, and multiple drums with the stolen fuel were also seized from the spot. 'The ATF was originally loaded at HPCL Asoda Depot, Bahadurgarh, for delivery to Indira Gandhi International Airport. The accused drivers, in collusion with the transporter and godown operator, manipulated the GPS tracking system and diverted the tankers to the Mundka godown,' said Aditya Gautam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch). 'The tanker locks – secured with keys exclusive to the destination depot – were bypassed using duplicate keys. Forged dip rods were used to simulate legitimate delivery measurements. The siphoned ATF was then sold in the open market under the guise of Mineral Turpentine Oil, which is commonly used in the ink and paint industry,' he added. The police have stated that the racket had been operational for nearly three years, with an estimated 5,000 litres of ATF being siphoned off daily. The seized fuel and tankers have been handed over to the oil company concerned after due documentation. Further investigation is underway to trace additional beneficiaries of the racket.

Rohtak Farmer Ends Life After Wife's Betrayal; Suicide Note Reveals Affair, Extortion And Abuse
Last Updated: In video testimonies recorded just before his death on June 18, Magan detailed how Divya and Deepak allegedly harassed him, demanding money under various pretexts A heartbreaking tale of betrayal, blackmail, and emotional torment has come to light from Dobh village in Haryana's Rohtak, where a young farmer ended his life, leaving behind explosive video messages that have sent shockwaves across the region. Magan, a modest and hard-working farmer, had lived a quiet life in Dobh until a harrowing revelation shattered his world. A year and a half into his marriage, he discovered that his wife, Divya, was already married and had a child. Despite the betrayal, Magan chose compassion over confrontation. Instead of filing a legal case, he paid off Divya's previous husband to formally separate the two, hoping to give his marriage a second chance. But peace eluded him. Over time, Divya's behaviour began to change, and Magan suspected she was involved with someone else. His suspicions were confirmed when he learned of her romantic involvement with a police officer named Deepak, posted in Sambhaji Nagar, Aurangabad. What followed, according to Magan's own words, was a spiral of psychological abuse and relentless extortion that pushed him to the brink. In video testimonies recorded just before his death on June 18, Magan detailed how Divya and Deepak allegedly harassed him, demanding money under various pretexts. He said Deepak wanted Rs 5 lakh for a job promotion and pressured him through Divya. 'I sold wheat I had cultivated with my own hands and gave Rs 1.5 lakh," Magan stated in the video, adding that on June 9, he mortgaged his gold bangle and somehow raised Rs 2 lakh which Divya transferred to Deepak's account. But the demands didn't stop. Magan revealed that Divya and Deepak began insisting on another Rs 1.5 lakh and even allegedly threatened to frame him for the murder of his own father unless he sold his ancestral land. The final blow came when Divya sent Magan a video of herself dancing intimately with Deepak, a clip that reportedly plunged him into a deep depression. The day he took his life, Magan recorded two emotionally charged videos and posted them on social media. In them, he pleaded for justice and narrated his ordeal, naming Divya and Deepak as his abusers. Addressing his adopted sister, Savita Arya, a social worker in Panipat, he voiced a powerful concern, 'Sister, when women cry, they are heard, even if they're wrong. But even if men are right, they die unheard. Please do something for men too." He also appealed to Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and Meham MLA Balram Dangi, requesting them to ensure that his son would be cared for by his aging parents after his death. 'Please visit my home," he urged, 'and assure them that my child will remain with them." Shortly after uploading the videos, Magan walked to his farm and hanged himself from a tree. His death has cast a pall of grief over Dobh village. Villagers and family members, devastated by the tragedy, have demanded that authorities take swift and strict action against Divya and Deepak.

Tamil actor Srikanth arrested by Chennai police in drugs case. How he was caught?
Tamil actor Srikanth , also known as Sriram in Telugu cinema, has been arrested by the Chennai police, reported Sun News on Monday. The arrest comes in connection with a developing drug case that has already roped in several individuals, including a former AIADMK functionary. As per a report by News18, the arrest followed the actor's questioning at the Nungambakkam police station, where his name reportedly came up during the interrogation of Prasad—an expelled AIADMK IT Wing member from Mylapore. Prasad had earlier been taken into custody following a brawl at a private bar, an incident which also involved other party associates and local rowdy Tsunami Sethupathi. During his interrogation, Prasad admitted to supplying drugs, including cocaine, to Srikanth. This led the police to summon the actor for further questioning. Prasad claimed that Srikanth bought one gram of cocaine for Rs 12,000, according to the report. He further alleged that Srikanth had used drugs at private parties and clubs in Chennai. These revelations have prompted a broader probe into potential drug use within the film industry, with other names such as actor Krishna also being investigated based on the same confession. Medical Tests Ordered, Legal Action to Follow As part of the inquiry, the police collected blood samples from Srikanth to test for drug usage. The results of these tests will determine the legal course of action against the actor. Officials have maintained that no final conclusions will be drawn until the forensic analysis and additional investigation are completed. While Srikanth has not publicly addressed the allegations, neither he nor his legal representatives have issued an official statement. The actor has not been formally charged yet, and the police have reiterated that proceedings will remain evidence-based. Srikanth's Career and Background Srikanth began his acting journey with the television serial Jannal – Marabu Kavithaigal in 1999, before transitioning to cinema with his Tamil debut Roja Kootam in 2002. He gained popularity with several Tamil and Telugu films including Manasellam, Kana Kandein, and Nanban. His most recent appearances include the Tamil film Konjam Kadhal Konjam Modhal and the Telugu project Erracheera, alongside the web series Harikatha on JioHotstar. The case forms part of a larger crackdown on drug use within the Tamil film industry. Chennai Police are believed to be widening their net to investigate other celebrities and individuals possibly linked to narcotic procurement and distribution.
