The Kolkata Police on Wednesday began virtually questioning actor-turned-BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty in connection with his election speeches.
An FIR lodged against the veteran actor alleged that he had used dialogues like 'Marbo ekhane lash porbe shoshane' (Will hit you here and the body will land in the crematorium) and 'Ek chobole chobi' (A snakebite will turn you into a photograph, meaning will kill you) at a rally after joining the BJP on March 7.
The complainant alleged that these dialogues caused post-poll violence in the state.
The actor had claimed that the utterances of such film dialogues were only recreational and that he is innocent and in no way connected with any offence as alleged by the complainant.

Residents of a posh housing society in Mumbai&nbsp;have allege that they have been victims of a &ldquo;vaccination scam&rdquo;. They fear they have been given fake Covid-19 shots.
At ₹1260 per dose, 390 people received the shots as part of a vaccination camp at Hiranandani Estate Society in Kandivali on May 30. The society paid around ₹5 lakh to the facilitator.
Suspicions arose when none of the inoculated persons developed any usual post-jab symptoms. The beneficiaries received their certificates 10-15 days later from different hospitals like Nanavati, Lifeline, Nesco BMC vaccination centre etc. However, when contacted, these hospitals denied providing vaccines to the housing society in question.
The incident has sparked anxiety among the residents of Hiranandani Estate, who are wondering if the shots were genuine.

The decision regarding enhancing interval between two doses of Covishield was based on scientific evidence and taken in a transparent manner, a key govt panel said on Tuesday.
There was no dissenting voice among the members of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI ), panel head N K Arora said, according to a tweet by the Union Health Ministry.
The government had on May 13 extended the gap between the two doses of the Covishield vaccine from 6-8 weeks to 12-16 weeks.
The govt's clarification came after some reports claimed that scientists didn't agree with enhancing the gap. A Reuters report quoted a former director of the National Institute of Epidemiology, MD Gupte, who claimed that the government's expert panel did not agree to increase the gap to 12 to 16 weeks at one leap.

Twitter has lost its legal indemnity in India because of its failure to comply with the new IT rules, news agency PTI reported citing govt sources.&nbsp;The new rules required social media platforms to appoint key officers in the country. The loss of the legal cover was highlighted on Tuesday after a case was filed against the social media giant over the Ghaziabad assault video.
Government sources told PTI that the platform has lost its legal indemnity as it has yet not fully complied with all the rules that came into force on May 25.
Because of Twitter's non-compliance, its protection as an intermediary is gone. Twitter is, hence, liable for penal actions as per Indian law just as any other publisher is.
Reports further stated that since Twitter does not enjoy protection and it did not flag the Ghaziabad video as manipulated media, it is liable for penal action.

The Ghaziabad Police on Tuesday filed an FIR against six individuals, including journalists and Congress politicians, for sharing videos on Twitter that police claimed gave a &ldquo;communal twist&rdquo; to the assault on 72-year-old Abdul Samad.
The FIR also names Twitter, apart form AltNews founder Mohammad Zubair, journalists Rana Ayyub and Saba Naqvi, and Salman Nizami, Maskoor Usmani and Shama Mohamed of Congress
Police said action was taken by Ghaziabad police because all of them had shared the videos on their Twitter handles without verifying it.
The video of the assault had gone viral, but the police later claimed that the six attackers included Hindus and Muslims who were unhappy over the amulets Samad had sold them.

Assam police on Tuesday said that it has arrested seven accused in the rape and murder of two minor tribal girls in Kokrajhar district. The bodies of the girls, 16 and 14, were found hanging from a tree to make it look like a suicide, the police said. 
Police added that three of the seven accused had raped the minors and hanged them from a tree after killing them. They have confessed to the crime. 
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also took to Twitter to inform about the arrest of the accused.
The Chief minister had visited the house of the two minor girls on Sunday and assured justice to the family.

As more evidence poured in of the second shots being crucial for adequate protection, there is a rethink in the govt on the gap between two doses of Covishield, which was increased to 12 weeks. The Hindustan Times has reported that govt experts have held meeting to review the gap and are considering reducing it, especially for those with comorbidities.
The rethink has come after UK released fresh data showing protection from hospitalisation was 92% for people who had both doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Covishield is the made-in-India version of the dose. Those who had just one dose showed a much lower efficacy against hospitalisation at 71%. The UK has already reduced the gap between doses for those over the age of 40 to eight weeks.

CBSE class XII students are likely to have their results based on their performance in the finals of class X and XI exams and class XII pre-board tests.
The Times of India has reported that the CBSE-appointed committee to recommend the criteria to evaluate Class XII students seems to be in favour of a 30:30:40 formula. Which means 30% weightage will be given to class X and XI final results, respectively, and 40% to class XII pre-board exams.
The committee is expected to announce the marking formula after submitting it to the Supreme Court on Thursday.
Principals have told the committee that they are in a position to mark students based on tests and exams conducted in schools during the academic year 2020-21, the report added.
CBSE cancelled Class XII exams on June 1 due to the Covid second wave.

To pace up Covid vaccination, the government has now opened walk-in vaccination for all adults. Anyone over the age of 18 can walk in to the nearest vaccination centre

To pace up Covid vaccination, the government has now opened walk-in vaccination for all adults. Anyone over the age of 18 can walk in to the nearest vaccination centre to get registered on the CoWIN digital platform and be inoculated against Covid-19, the Health Ministry has said.
It is not mandatory to pre-register online or book an appointment to get the vaccine, the government said. The govt had last month said that people in the 18-44 age group - who are "without access to internet or smart phones" - can walk-in for help to register on the CoWIN digital platform, and get appointments to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Vaccinating people in the 18-44 age group - the country's largest demographic - is key to fight the pandemic and lift restrictions.

An audio tape of a purported conversation between ousted AIADMK leader VK Sasikala and certain party members emerged on Tuesday creating a political storm in Tamil Nadu.
In the clip, Sasikala is purportedly heard saying that she has the responsibility to save the party and re-establish the rule of Amma, the late chief minister J Jayalalithaa. 
"I am confident that I will be able to set the party in order as you are with me. The AIADMK should be strong even if it turns 100 years old. We will definitely bring in Amma's rule," she is heard as telling some AIADMK leaders.
Also, she said she would meet the party workers once the pandemic recedes.
The audio clip has come out a day after the AIADMK sacked 17 people Sasikala spoke with recently.

On the first anniversary of the Galwan valley clashes, the Indian Army on Tuesday released a video song in a tribute to the Indian soldiers who fought valiantly in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with Chinese troops in the treacherous region of eastern Ladakh to defend India's territorial integrity.
Sung by popular singer Hariharan, the song titled 'Galwan ke Veer' highlights the valour of the Indian troops guarding the Galwan and some other inhospitable regions along the country's northern frontier and says the "heroes" had risen to the occasion when challenged on the mountains.
The nearly five-minute video captured glimpses of the lives of soldiers deployed along the ice-capped mountains of the high-altitude region including their round-the-clock vigil, training and combat readiness to deal with any threat.
On the first anniversary of the deadly clashes, the Army said the supreme sacrifice of the soldiers will be "eternally etched" in the memory of the nation.
Twenty Indian Army personnel laid down their lives in the clashes on June 15 last year in Galwan Valley, an incident that marked the most serious military conflicts between the two sides in decades.

Before every occasion an arti is performed to mark the start of beginning&nbsp;&lsquo;shubh&rsquo; or auspicious. Following the tradition, a man from Madurai devotedly performed arti of a liquor shop on Monday when the Tamil Nadu&nbsp;government allowed state-owned liquor shops to open.
In a viral video, the man can be seen hurrying to the liquor shop after a quick arti and rejoicing when he finally managed to get two bottles and bowed multiple times to the liquor he must have missed during the lockdown.
Netizens are in splits and called it one &lsquo;true love&rsquo;.

Twitter on Tuesday said it has appointed an interim Chief Compliance Officer and the details of the official will be shared with the IT Ministry directly soon.
The Centre had issued a notice to Twitter giving it one last chance to &ldquo;immediately&rdquo; comply with the new IT rules and warned that failure to adhere to the norms will lead to the platform losing exemption from liability under the IT Act.
Following this, Twitter had assured the Indian government last week that it is in advanced stages of finalising the appointment of chief compliance officer as required under the new IT rules, and that it will submit additional details within a week.

The National Investigation Agency on Tuesday released visuals of two men suspected to be involved in a blast near the Israel Embassy in Delhi in January this year. Placing a ₹10 lakh&nbsp;reward&nbsp;for each suspect, the anti-terror agency said it is seeking help to identify and arrest the two individuals seen roaming near the spot on the day of the attack on January 29. The blast was caused by a 'very low-intensity improvised device' and&nbsp;windscreens of three cars in the area were shattered. The minor explosion came on the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between India and Israel in 1992. Preliminary investigations from February had revealed no connection with a suspicious package found outside Israeli embassy in Paris on the same day.

She reiterated the Congress concern that no clarity is yet available and the Prime Minister&rsquo;s last word on the subject a year ago was that no transgression had occurred.
