JIju, according to sources, reportedly told Delhi Police that they did not make the sex video that time, and postponed it for later.

Special Cell officers said, they believe some sex videos have already been made of some IPL cricketers through honey trap.

The purpose of making sex videos was to give a handle to the bookies, if the tainted cricketers played truant after taking advance money.

Interrogation of the bookies by Delhi Police also revealed that the bookies - Chandresh Patel alias Chand and Mannan had arranged women for Sreesanth and Ajit chadila five to six times earlier this year.  These clues came from telephonic conversation between a Dubai number and numbers based in Delhi and Mumbai, sources said.

Police sources said, in the early intercepts, the bookies were told to film the cricketers with the women escorts, and if possible instal hidden cameras in their rooms.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police cops are in the process of going through the hard disks of at least five laptops recovered from the arrested bookies to see if any sex videos have been saved.

The laptops will be sent to forensic labs where experts will take a mirror image of the hard disk for future probe.

A plan was afoot to execute the honey trap angle at a lush party in Gurgaon, where the tainted cricketers had been invited, police sources said.

Sanjay Dutt wants to get out of the Anda cell fast, saying he is not a terrorist and should not be treated as such. Jail authorities say, in view of an anonymous letter threatening Dutt, they are taking extra precautions.

As per court's order, Sanjay Dutt got homemade meal of chicken and biryani in a steel tiffin, but jail authorities did not allow the metal tiffin inside. The tiffin was sent back, and the meal was delivered again in a plastic tiffin.

At breakfast, Sanjay Dutt got boiled eggs, chapati and milk. He is also carrying out his daily exercises at the jail 'vyayamshala' (exercise room).

Sanjay Dutt's lawyer Rizwan Merchant had raised the issue of keeping the actor inside the Anda cell at the Tada court on Friday. The judge asked him to give his application in writing.

]]>IPL6 fixing: Mumbai Police seize Sreesanth, Jiju's laptop, iPad, cellphones from hotel rooms, bookie Ramesh Vyas held IANS http://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/ipl-fixing-mumbai-police-seize-sreesanth-jiju-laptop-ipad--8015.html Mumbai/New Delhi, May 18 The probe into the IPL spot-match fixing scam was intensified Saturday with Mumbai police seizing the mobiles, iPhones and laptops of cricketer S.Sreesanth and his relative, bookie Jiju Janardhan while the three arrested players were jointly quizzed.

Police are also scanning the diaries of Sreesanth which contain significant information pertaining to the scam, Mumbai Police's Joint Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy, who is spearheading the investigations, told media persons in Mumbai.

One more bookie, Pravin Bera, was arrested from Mumbai Saturday, taking the total number of bookies arrested from the city and other parts of the country to 12, besides the three cricketers - Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chavan, all playing for the Rajasthan Royals.

Roy said that Mumbai police are contemplating seeking custodial investigation of the three cricketers who were nabbed from a Mumbai five-star hotel three days ago, blowing the lid off the sensational scam.

Police also searched the room in a five-star hotel in south Mumbai where Sreesanth and Janardhan were living, he said.

"We are also scanning the CCTV footage of the hotel to find out who they met during their stay there, their movements, and visitors who called on them," Roy said, adding that police will reconstruct the sequence of events in the hotel May 14/15 till Sreesanth's arrest.

Besides Bera, bookies Ramesh Vyas, Pankaj Shah alias Lotus, Ashok Vyas, Pandurang Kadam, Niraj Shah have been arrested so far from Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

Police had raided bookie Vyas's office in Kalbadevi and he was nabbed May 14, the same night when the cricketer trio was picked up by Delhi Police.

From Vyas, the investigators came across a rich haul of 92 mobile phone, 18 SIM cards, account books, laptops, a TV set, satellite dish etc,

"Thirty of the mobile phones were used to make conference calls to bookies in India, Pakistan and Dubai by Vyas, who was in touch with all the bookies and had also given some money to them," Roy revealed.

"We have several more bookies wanted in connection with this scam," he said, hinting at more arrests.

In New Delhi, the three arrested players were again questioned but now in each others' presence, an official said.

The suspects confessed their crime but blamed each other for dragging them into spot fixing, police sources said.

The three were brought before each other in a room in the office of the Special Cell of police in Lodhi Colony in south Delhi and questioned for two hours, the sources said.

This was the first occasion when the three players were confronted with each other. They were questioned separately Friday, police said.

The accused's interrogation was done under the supervision of Special Commissioner of Police S.N. Srivastava, police sources said.

The three were confronted with the nabbed bookies, audio recordings and other material evidence gathered by the investigators into the scam.

During separate interrogation Saturday, 11 bookies, all of whom are in police custody, were also brought before each other, sources said.

Delhi Police also conducted raids in several cities including Mumbai and Ahmedabad to track the money trail in connection with the alleged spot fixing racket, sources said.

In Chennai, Tamil Nadu Police said they expect to achieve a breakthrough soon in the cricket betting case in which six bookies were arrested Friday.

"We expect to achieve break through in the case soon. We also raided three premises here Saturday," a senior official of at Crime Branch-Crime Investigation Department (CBCID), who did not want to be named, told IANS.

Mumbai police are meanwhile keen to invoke the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) on all the accused, currently facing charges for cheating and criminal conspiracy, after complying with the necessary pre-conditions for this law, Roy said.

In a post-midnight swoop Wednesday, a team of Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested the three cricketers for their alleged involvement in spot fixing in the ongoing IPL-6 season for payments of upto Rs.6 million for allowing a pre-determined number of runs in an over.

Investigators believe that fixing of different types may be prevalent in other matches in the current IPL and also in the earlier IPLs.

Cast- Arjun Kapoor, Sashaa Agha, Rishi Kapoor, Jackie Shroff,  Amrita Singh, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sikander Kher

Director- Atul Sabharwal

It has now been a decade since we witnessed a flick with a twin role formula in it.

Atul Sabharwal, known for some renowned staid TV series Powder and a taut thriller “My wife’s Murder” has brought in the Masala factor into his directorial venture Aurangzeb.

Ajay (Arjun Kapoor) is the son of the real estate developer Yashvardhan (Jackie Shroff) in Delhi who under the disguise of his property empire runs a crime world.

Well-versed with Yash's unethical activities, senior inspector Ravikanth (Rishi Kapoor) alongwith his team including Arya (Prithviraj Sukamaran) and Dev (Sikender Kher) kidnaps Ajay and infiltrates  his lookalike Vishal (Arjun Kapoor) in Yash’s empire to know all the other partners and plans they had to promote their black ideas. Ravikanth too has an unwise dream to be the kingpin by ruining Yashvardhan. In the interim Vishal and Ajay are left stunned when they learn that they are twin brothers who were parted in their teenage days.

So, will brothers unite or will they be dominated by the unwise tactics of the cops?  That’s how the story deals further.

Atul has picked up the old spices and served in into the new recipe which isn’t delicious. The execution over here is half baked.



The pace with which it goes is slow in the first half. The director shifts its gear and speeds up the momentum after the interim. The assassination of his son-in-law by Rishi Kapoor arouses some intensity. The political game between Yasvardhan and Ravikanth to grab one of the biggest building projects in town shows some association with the plot.

But just thereafter the flick starts losing its momentum as nothing is given a fine shape to admire or even remember. The shootout at the hospital where Jackie and Arjun are shrilled with bullets will amuse you because our hero without a mark on his head stands tall to hit back to the cops there.

The entire screenplay has numerous holes in it which are hard to fill. It all goes predictable and the dialogues go wacky.

Rishi Kapoor’s needless uninspiring Aurangzeb session comes out of nowhere and the emphasis given connects nothing to the title. The autocrat Mughal Emperor, had he been alive today, would surely have raised questions about the unnecessary tagging of his name and stature.

Atul tried to pay a tribute to the legendary Javed-Salim duo with his punch lines. Some dialogues sound hard-hitting and have impact, but a few go stale.



What could have worked was Ajay's character played by Arjun Kapoor which appears energetic and funny in every given scene. Unfortunately, he is kidnapped which may be the need of the script. But all the more, Ishaqzaade actor delivers a good act in a beam and boisterous look. He delivers his dialogues with the same charm and finesse he carried in his debut flick.

Rishi Kapoor loves to experiment and is ubiquitous in every second flick. Here the cop’s role suits him. He is the person in command and his dialogue delivery looks dominant. His greediness for kingship is admiring.

The South Indian star Prithviraj, who previously failed in his debut flick Aiyaa, finds some earth with his performance.



Debutant Sashaa Agha playing Arjun’s love interest flaunts well but needs some acting tips.

Jackie Shroff as business tycoon and a helpless father is good. His body language has an impressive aura and is compelling which is seen in the flick.

Amrita Singh, witnessed on screen after a long time plays good games to be the beneficiary in big projects.

Music by Amartya Rahut and Vipin Mishra is semi-perky. You would love the sufi track Jigar-Fakira while Barbadi by Agnee is soulful. The background score accompanies the scenes.

Niraj Voralia’s editing could have been better.

I’ll go with two and a half stars for Aurangzeb. This dramatical Aurangzeb doesn’t rule our hearts. You will be tempted by the performances but would just be thwarted by the final outcome.

]]>Nobody can help BJP, if its central coterie chooses to commit political hara-kiri Raj Singh http://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/nobody-can-help-bjp-central-coterie-commit-political-hara-kiri-10169.html New Delhi: So the BJP has once again become a victim of the political machinations of those very leaders who believe that elections are won and lost through creating right power equations in Delhi. It happened in Uttar Pradesh in the past and now it has been repeated in Karnataka.
 


History has been witness to the fact that a party that does not respect the contributions of its main architect, who built the party brick by brick in the state, is doomed to be condemned by the voters. This is not to say that if that person is indulging in corrupt practices, then you should turn a blind eye towards his unlawful activities.  
 
But in a case,  where you are aware of the fact that the constitutional functionaries are trying all the tricks in the book  to defame and  create problems  for that person, then you have to be a little more understanding, instead of playing into the hands of his intra-party detractors, who are waiting in the wings to topple him.
 
But BJP, which claims to be the party with a difference, has got the worst kind of coterie that is ruling the roost at the central level. The party committed political hara-kiri first in Uttar Pradesh and then in Karnataka.
 
Let’s discuss Karnataka first. B S Yeddyurappa was the person who made the party from scratch in the state. He emerged as the leader of Lingayats, the biggest community in terms of electoral influence in the state.

The BJP reaped the harvest to the hilt and for the first time, and  the party succeeded in forming a government in southern India for the first time.
 


It was a dangerous signal for the Congress party as the BJP could spread its influence to other states of the region.

As usual, the Congress party very cleverly used the office of the Governor to tarnish the image of Yeddyurappa and his image took a beating. Once your image takes a beating, every move of yours  is looked at with suspicion and Yeddyurappa became a victim of negative public perception.

But more than the Congress, Yedyurappa’s own party members wanted to see the end of his innings as Karnataka CM.

Everybody knows that Ananth Kumar , who is very close to L K Advani, was never happy with BS Yeddyurappa’s ascendance to Karnataka’s CM chair. Despite not possessing any mass base on his own, he always considered himself to be the right claimant to the CM’s chair.
 
And then the rest of damage was done by none other than Advani himself. With an eye on NDA’s PM candidature for 2014 general elections, Advani started pushing for the removal of B S Yeddyurappa so that he could position himself as a true crusader against corruption.

This deadly combination of Advani and Ananth Kumar did Yedyurappa in. More than the corruption cases lodged against Yeddyurappa, it was the internal backstabbing that queered the pitch for Yeddyurappa.
 


According to some media reports, Ananth Kumar convinced the central leadership that Yeddyurappa’s exit will have no impact on the Lingayat votes but the elections results have proved him wrong.

Clearly, BJP has lost because of Yeddyurappa’s exit and Ananth Kumar and Advani can’t escape the blame for facilitating the demise of BJP’s first govt down south. But why did the  central leadership listen to Ananth Kumar, an arm chair politician, over Yeddyurappa, a mass base leader?
 
The same thing had happened in Uttar Pradesh when Kalyan Singh, a mass base leader, was removed on the insistence of Lalji Tandon and Kalraj Mishra. Kalyan Singh had successfully devised a winning social engineering formula that provided for a backward caste leader leading a coalition of both forward and backward castes. With this combination, BJP used to sweep elections in UP in 1990s.
 
Both Tandon and Mishra, bereft of any popular support, connived to throw Kalyan out because they had their own ambitions for CM post. Atal Behari Vajpayee listened to them as they were close to him and unfortunately he turned against Kalyan who had to finally resign.

The party sacrificed a mass based leader because a few arm chair politicians convinced Vajpayee that there will be no impact on party’s electoral health after Kalyan’s ouster. And both of them were proved wrong.

Today the party is nowhere in the  race in UP and is vying with Congress for the third spot, after SP and BSP. Both Tandon and Mishra had  played a crucial role in sealing a tie-up with BSP that paved the way for the decimation of the party in UP.
 


So the story is very simple. Those who had no mass support presided over the decimation of BJP in two crucial states – Karnataka and UP. The party lost these two states just because it suited  the vested interests of certain self-centred leaders.
 
Even for the upcoming general elections in 2014, leaders who have no mass support are busy with political machinations.

The entire rank and party favours Narendra Modi as the PM candidate but certain leaders , who can’t compete with Modi electorally, are working out various permutations and combinations to stop him from taking the centrestage.

If the party fails to make it again in 2014, then it will have its own arm chair leaders to blame and not the public or the opposition.
 
Nobody can help a party that has made up its mind to move on a path of certain political hara-kiri.]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 19:39:27 +0530 http://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national/nobody-can-help-bjp-central-coterie-commit-political-hara-kiri-10169.html India losing identity as agricultural nation : Narendra Modi

She looked strikingly attractive in her classy salwar kameez and a duppatta covering her head.

Looking at her two daughters, Bakhtawar and Asifa Bhutto Zaradari, one can clearly see that Benazir’s sheer classiness and style has been carried forward by her next generation.



Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, the 23 year old Edinburg graduate seems to be a complete shadow of her mother. In all her public appearances, a duppata clipped to her head has never been a miss.

Surprisingly, Bakhtawar, who is always seen clad in a duppatta and in simple attire, is an aspiring rapper and has dedicated few songs to her mother.




Benazir’s youngest child Aisfa has become a known face in the polity of Pakistan. Focusing on the young generation, Asifa has taken a step forward and has become a favorite among PPP supporters. She took part rigorously in campaigning for eradication of Polio from the country. She is also an Ambassador for UNICEF.



Asifa’s active participation in politics has got her many invites from president’s as well as prime minister’s house for various functions. Her great zeal to work for party and for the country at a very young age is commendable. She aims at bringing safety and peace to Pakistan for which her mother Benazir gave away her life.

Here we give you a glimpse of the two beautiful daughters of Pakistan.

The only plane to land at this airport was that of the then President's in March last year, when she descended to cut the ribbon and inaugurate the airport.

Since then not a single flight has landed here. The reason: the airport doesn't have a licence, and it doesn't have Fire, Air Traffic Control or Meeorological departments working there, reports Mumbai Mirror.

In 2012,the AAI spent nearly Rs 25 lakh for the inauguration.In the name of amenities,the 630 acre-airport has only a terminal building that can accommodate a maximum of 50 people. The AAI is yet apply for a licence, and it knows that it can't get one, unless it has all the facilities in place.

Civil Aviation ministry sources said the AAI top brass decided to inaugurate even before it was fully equipped.



On the day of the inauguration,the authorities created a temporary ATC from a makeshift room on a truck, and fire tenders were arranged from two different airports.

It would be difficult for the airport to get a licence because of major technical issues associated with the specification of runways, sources said.

That is why, the AAI has not sent the licensing application to Directorate general of Civil Aviation (DGCA) till now.

In 1973, there was a small airstrip in Jalgaon maintained by PWD, which was handed over  in 2007 to Maharashtra Airport Development Company.

Two years later, the state government signed an MoU with AAI to upgrade the excisting field, and in 2010, the President laid its foundation stone.

Two years later, the President inaugurated the airport, and since then there has been no flights to Jalgaon.]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 15:48:12 +0530 http://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/not-a-single-flight-goes-to-jalgaon-airport-inaugurated-hurried-23045.html Cannes film fest red carpet most organised: Frieda Pinto

Riding on fine half centuries from Azhar Mahmood (80) and Shaun Marsh (63), Punjab pocted a big total of 183 for four after being put in to bat and then shot Mumbai out for 133 in 19.1 overs at the picturesque HPCA Stadium.

Punjab ended the tournament with 16 points from 16 matches while the outcome of today’s match did not make much of a difference to Mumbai, except for the fact that their confidence has been dented ahead of the knock-out stage.

Despite the loss, Mumbai, who ended the league stage on 22 points from 16 matches, would still play against Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1 in New Delhi on May 21 as their top-2 finish had already been secured before this match.

Chasing a big target of 184, Mumbai never had a substantial partnership, the biggest being the 39-run stand between captain Rohit Sharma (25) and Kieron Pollard (22) for the sixth wicket. Ambati Rayudu top-scored with a 22-ball 26.

All the top-order batsmen except for opener Glenn Maxwell (0) and Dinesh Karthik (0) got the starts but could not convert them to big scores.

For Punjab, Piyush Chawla and Sandeep Sharma grabbed two wickets apiece while Praveen Kumar and Parvinder Awana took a wicket each.

Interestingly, Punjab captain Adam Gilchrist, who was playing his last IPL match today, got a wicket, the only wicket in his illustrious career.

Mumbai needed 51 runs from the last over and it was a mere formality. To the surprise of everybody in the stadium, Gilchrist stepped up to bowl the last over and got Harbhajan Singh’s wicket from the first ball.

Gilchrist bowled an innocuous off-spinner and Harbhajan slogged one-handed and the ball went straight to Gurkeerat Singh’s hand at long-on. The Australian great celebrated the wicket with a jig, a half Gangnam style.
