Hoax bomb call to SpiceJet was made so that 2 youths can spend more time with their girlfriends, British Airways Trainee arrested

A hoax call saying that there was a bomb at a Delhi-Pune SpiceJet flight yesterday, which had delayed the evening flight by several hours, was made to ensure that two youths can spend some more time with their girlfriends, who were flying on that flight. This was revealed by Delhi Police after arresting the person who had made the phone call to the call centre of the airline.

On Friday, 13th January 2023, Delhi Police arrested British Airways trainee ticketing agent named Abhinav Prakash for placing the fake bomb call to the SpiceJet Call Center at IGI Airport. The police said that Abhinav Prakash made the hoax call after two of his childhood friends convinced him to do so. His two friends wanted to delay or cancel the flight their girlfriends were travelling on, and that’s why they had devised the plan to make the hoax bomb call. On Thursday, SpiceJet received a call that said that there is a bomb on the Delhi-Pune flight. It was later declared a hoax.

According to the police, 24-year-old Abhinav Prakash, a resident of Dwarka Sector 22, has been working as a trainee with British Airways at DLF Qutub Plaza Gurugram for the last seven months after receiving a diploma in the tour and travels from IGNOU in 2020. Police were able to nab him because he had used his own phone to make the fake call.

During questioning, he revealed that two of his childhood friends, Rakesh alias Bunty and Kunal Sehrawat, who recently went on a sightseeing tour to Manali, got acquainted with two girls there. Both girls were scheduled to go to Pune on Spicejet Airlines aircraft SG-8938 on January 12. “His friends told him that they wanted to spend some more time with their girlfriends and instigated the accused to find out a plan to somehow delay their departure from Delhi,” said the DCP of IGI Airport.

Accordingly, the three devised a malevolent plot to make a false bomb call at Spicejet Airlines call centre, with the ulterior purpose of having the flight cancelled or at least delayed. The accused dialled Spicejet Airline’s customer service number from his own cellphone number and informed them that “there is a bomb in flight No. SG-8938.”

A press release by Delhi police said, “The accused person to boost their false bravado contacted the girls who were onboard and when they came to know that the flight has been delayed/stopped, they even celebrated the execution of their malevolent act”

When the news of the arrest of Abhinav Prakash reached Kunal Sehrawat and Rakesh alias Bunty, they fled away from their addresses and are presently absconding. Police said that sincere efforts are being made to trace and arrest them.

The SpiceJet flight SG-8938 was scheduled to depart for Pune at 5.35 pm on 12 January, but after the call centre of SpiceJet received the threat message, they alerted the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC). AOCC then informed Security Operations Control Centre about the bomb threat message. When the call had come, no passengers had boarded the aircraft, and the Boeing 737 aircraft was thoroughly checked following a complete security drill.

The search went on for several hours, but nothing was found onboard the flight. After that, the threat was declared a hoax call, the passengers boarded the flight and it finally took off.

The flight which was scheduled to take off at 5:35 PM and land in Pune at 7:45 PM finally took off from IGI Airport at 1:43 PM. The flight reached Pune at 3:30 AM, according to the flight tracker website flightradar24.

Therefore, just because two youths wanted to spend some more time with two girls, they caused inconvenience to the passengers of the flight by delaying it for several hours and kept the security agencies busy past midnight who were searching for the non-existent bomb.

Over 18,600 toys seized from retail stores like Hamleys and Archies for violations of quality norms, notices sent to Amazon, Flipkart & Snapdeal

The central government Thursday informed that 18,600 toys have been seized from outlets of major retail stores like Hamleys and Archies, among others, at airports and malls across the country for not meeting quality standards and using fake licences. The toys were seized during 44 raids that were conducted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in the past two weeks.

The raids were conducted at retail stores of several brands, including Hamleys, Archies, WH Smith, Kids Zone and Cococart located at major airports and malls across the country.

Meanwhile, the consumer protection agency CCPA has issued notices to three major e-commerce operators — Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal — for alleged violations of a toy quality control regulation.

Notably, the government has made it necessary for toys to comply with safety standards stipulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), a national standard-establishing organisation, effective January 1, 2021.

“We received complaints from domestic manufacturers of sale of toys that do not conform with the BIS standard. We conducted 44 raids in the last one month and seized 18,600 toys from major retail stores,” Pramod Kumar Tiwari, the BIS Director General said in a press conference on Thursday.

He added that apart from Hamleys and Archies, raids were conducted between December 28, 2022 and January 12, 2023 on retail stores of WH Smith, Kids Zone and Cococart, which are located at malls and airports across the country.

Legal action will be taken against the retailers for violation of quality norms as per the provisions of the BIS Act, under which the initial penalty is Rs 1 lakh for the first-time offence to a maximum of a jail term, he added.

According to reports, toys were seized from Hamleys outlets at New Delhi airport Terminal 1 and 2, as well as in Kolkata, Ranchi, Noida, and SAS Nagar, according to the BIS (Punjab).

Toys were also seized at the Archies store in Ghaziabad’s Pacific Mall, the WH Smith stores in Hyderabad and Delhi airports, the Cococart stores in Mumbai and Gujarat airports, and the Tiara Toys Zone in Chennai airport, according to the report.

Maximum toys were confiscated from Ahmedabad-based Raj Toy World, followed by 3,080 from Madurai-based Giftz and 2,000 from Bengaluru-based Royal Mart and Chennai-based Kids Zone, according to the report.

Pakistan man pushes another into open sewage during flour distribution, fight over a sack of wheat: Watch

Amidst the rising food crisis in Pakistan, a video has gone viral on social media wherein a man is seen pushing other people in open sewage while the government authorities distribute subsidized bags of flour that are already short in supply in the market to the locals.

In the viral video, a man is seen pushing another man into open sewage to find space to get the flour. The man, who appeared to be quite agitated, then turned around and attempted to push another man. On his way out of the crowded place, he shoved another man into the filth.

In another viral video, three Pakistanis are seen fighting over a sack of flour. During the fight, another man approaches them and begins tickling another in an attempt to steal the sack.

Pakistan is facing its worst-ever flour crisis with parts of the country reporting a shortage of wheat and stampedes reported from several areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan provinces. Prices of wheat and flour have skyrocketed amid the ongoing crisis in Pakistan.

Flour in Karachi is being sold from Rs 140 per kilogram to Rs 160 per kilogram. In Islamabad and Peshawar, a 10 kg bag of flour is being sold at Rs 1,500 per kilogram while a 20-kilogram bag of flour is being sold at Rs 2,800. Mill owners in Punjab province have increased the price of flour to Rs 160 per kilogram.

Similarly, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been facing the worst-ever flour crisis as a bag of 20-kilogram flour is being sold for Rs 3100 after the government failed to control the price of the stable

Earlier in the day, OpIndia reported how the banks in Pakistan remain hesitant in opening letters of credit (LCs) for the import of necessities, posing threat to the food supply, reported The News International.

The inability of banks to open LCs despite the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) directives about import facilitation, poses a threat to the supply of food, as well as, could escalate price pressures and create a shortage of medications.

Thousands of shipping containers are stuck at the Karachi Port after offloading due to the banks’ reluctance to guarantee foreign exchange payments. Perishable and non-perishable foodstuffs and medical supplies are among the cargoes

Amit Shah further said, “All aspects have been discussed in detail with all kinds of agencies engaged in the security of Jammu and Kashmir. Preparations will be made to make a very safe grid in the coming days. All including BSF, CRPF, Army, and Jammu and Kashmir Police are fully prepared. The entire 360-degree safety cycle has also been discussed.”

A woman named Saroj Bala, who was among the victims’ families, said, “I lost both my sons in the Dhangri attack that took place in the first week of January 2023 and I urged him (Amit Shah) to give us justice and give a strong reply to their killers.”

It is notable that seven people including two children were killed in two terror attacks that took place on January 1 and 2 in the Dhangri village of the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. Four civilians were gunned down on January 1 while two children and one other were killed in an explosion that took place on January 2.

Bangladesh: Chhatra League leader Ibrahim accused of encroaching land of Hindu man

A leader of the Chhatra League (the student wing of the ruling Awami League government) was accused of usurping the land of a Hindu family in the Basabaria village in Kachua upazila in the Chandpur district of Bangladesh, reported Dainik Janakantha.

The accused was identified as Ibrahim Miya (also known by his alias Duronto Ibrahim), the convenor of the Chhatra League at the Kachua Government Bangabandhu Degree College.

A complaint was filed with the Kachua police station against the accused, his mother Fathima Begum and his sister by the victim Uttam Sarkar, who alleged that the trio had encroached upon his land.

Reportedly, Uttam Sarkar had filed a police complaint 2 months prior regarding a land dispute with his brother Sushil Sarkar. Following the intervention of the locals, Uttam’s father Priyalal Sarkar and his brother Sushil handed over 8.5 acres of land to him.

According to Uttam Sarkar, Ibrahim Miya managed to secure his signature on three blank stamp papers while he was withdrawing the police complaint pertaining to the land dispute.

The onset of the ongoing dispute with the Chhatra League leader

On January 7 this year, the accused reportedly erected a bamboo fence in the middle of the victim’s property in a bid to occupy the land. On learning about the matter, Uttam Sarkar reached Kachua from Narayanganj and confronted Ibrahim Miya.

Instead of conceding his mistake, Ibrahim issued threats to the victim. Forced by circumstance, Uttam Sarkar filed a police complaint on the night of January 9, 2023.

In his defence, the accused claimed that Uttam Sarkar had proposed to sell his land and took a whopping Tk 6.9 lakhs (INR 5.39 lakhs) from his mother Fathima Begum. As such, Ibrahim alleged that it was his property now and he has put up a fence to protect it.

Meanwhile, his mother has also accused Uttam Sarkar of taking money and not handing over the land registry papers. The Officer-in-Charge of Kachua police station informed that a probe has been launched into the matter and appropriate action will be taken after the investigation.

Senior NDTV executives including group president Suparna Singh resign weeks after Adani group became majority owner of the company

On Friday, 13th January 2023, New Delhi Television Ltd said that some more of its higher-level executives have resigned from their positions. The list includes Group President Suparna Singh, Chief Strategy Officer Arijit Chatterjee, and Chief Technology and Product Officer Kawaljit Singh Bedi. These resignations come within a month after the Adani group took control of about 65 per cent shares of New Delhi Television Limited. The company shared this information in a filing made with exchanges BSE and NSE.

The communication from NDTV to the stock exchanges read, “The company is in the process of putting up a new leadership team which will set a fresh strategic direction and goals for the company.”

NDTV disclosure to exchanges

In an internal email, CEO and Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia informed NDTV employees of the development. Reportedly, he said in that email, “As an update, three of our colleagues: Suparna Singh, Arijit Chatterjee, and Kawaljit Singh Bedi have submitted their resignations and have decided to move on from NDTV. They have been the pillars of strength for the group and have played important roles in getting the company back to profitability. We wish them the very best in their future endeavors.”

He further said, “In line with the thoughts I shared during the town hall, the Adani Group is committed to transitioning NDTV into a new-age, global digital media organization. As I interact with many of you at NDTV, I am more than convinced that we have the value system, mindset, capability, and credibility to make our aspirations come true soon. We shall work together and keep you updated at all stages.”

On 23rd December 2023, NDTV promoters Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy divested 13.44% and 13.82% of their shares respectively to the Adani Group, a total of 1,75,77,676 equity shares. This took the total share of the Adani group in the NDTV to 64.7%. The Roys have retained just 2.5% each stake in the media company.

The acquisition of NDTV by Adani Group began with the acquisition of Vishvapradhan Commercial Private Ltd (VCPL), a Reliance Group company, by AMG Media Networks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited, in August last year. Vishvapradhan held warrants of RRPR, in exchange for an interest-free loan, with the rights to convert them to 99.9% share in RRPR. RRPR was the holding company of Roys, through which they owned 29.18% in NDTV. After acquiring Vishvapradhan, the Adani group executed the warrants acquiring RRPR, and became the 29.18% owner in NDTV. 

After that, the group made an open offer as per regulatory provisions, and Vishvapradhan Commercial Private Limited acquired an 8.27% stake through the open offer. On December 23, Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy divested 13.44% and 13.82% of their NDTV shares respectively to the Adani Group, keeping 2.5% shares each. This brought Adani’s stake in NDTV to 64.7%.

High Court judgment allowing marriage of minor girls under Muslim personal law will not be precedent in other cases: Supreme Court

High Court judgment allowing marriage of minor girls under Muslim personal law will not be precedent in other cases: Supreme Court

On Friday, 13th January 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision in the case Javed v. State of Haryana and Others, which concluded that a Muslim girl aged 16 years can engage in a legal and legitimate marriage under Muslim Personal Law, should not be used as a precedent in any subsequent instances.

This interim order was issued by a bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha while issuing notice in a special leave petition filed by the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights challenging the HC judgment on the grounds that it violates the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, which prescribes the age for sexual consent as 18 years. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, standing for the NCPCR, voiced issues about utilizing personal law as a defence for offences under POCSO.

SG Tushar Mehta submitted, “Girls who are 14,15,16 are getting married. Can there be a defence of personal law? Can you plead custom or personal law for a criminal offence? We are on the question if the marriage will be valid at all in the face of criminal law existing and the POCSO Act.”

CJI Chandrachud agreed to send a notice in the matter and file it with other similar petitions filed by the NCPCR against other High Court judgments holding the same position. In the meanwhile, the SG asked the bench to delay the ruling. However, if the HC verdict is stayed, the girl may be repatriated to her parents against her will, according to CJI Chandrachud.

CJI Chandrachud said, “Her parents wanted her to marry her maternal uncle. What will happen is, the moment we stay she will be restored to her parents, which she does not.”

SG Tushar Mehta pointed out that several such orders are being passed by various high courts in different cases. To this, CJI Chandrachud said, “We’ll issue notice to decide upon the question of law and say that the judgment may not be used as precedent.”

The bench noted in the order while giving notice on the NCPCR plea, “Pending further orders, impugned judgment shall not be relied upon as precedent.”

It should be noted that the Kerala High Court has declared that marriage under Muslim personal law is not exempt from the POCSO Act and that if one of the parties to such a marriage is a juvenile, the criminal offence under POCSO would be attracted, regardless of the legitimacy of the marriage under the personal law. Karnakata High Court had also ruled that POCSO Act overrides Personal Law as it is a special act, and therefore the marriage of minor Muslim girls is invalid even if it is allowed under the personal law.

On the other hand, some other high courts have ruled that the marriage of Muslim girls after attaining puberty is valid as per Muslim personal law. Apart from Punjab and Haryana High Court, Delhi High Court and Jharkhand High Court had cited the Sharia law to rule that Muslim girls can marry after attaining 15 years of age, as it is the ‘Marriageable Age’ under Islamic Sharia Law. The high courts had said that  a Muslim girl who has attained 15 years of age or has attained puberty is free to marry anyone as per the Muslim Personal Law.

On the other hand, Punjab and Haryana High Court had ruled that a Muslim girl above the age of 16 years is competent to marry any person of her choice.

‘Mental pressure mounting day by day’: Sukesh Chandrashekhar claims Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain are threatening him to withdraw complaints

On January 13, conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar penned yet another letter levelling serious allegations that he is being “mentally harassed” and “severely threatened” by Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain to withdraw his complaint against them.

Sukesh is currently lodged in Mandoli jail in Delhi in connection to the Rs 200 crores money laundering case. Earlier, he was lodged in Tihar jail. In a request to the court, he asked to shift from Tihar to another jail, citing death threats.

In the letter addressed to Delhi Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, Chandrashekhar alleged that Satyendar Jain asked two deputy superintendents of Mandoli Jail to “threaten and extort” him inside the prison.

“Ever since January 7, I have been constantly threatened and harassed mentally for something or the other, due to which I have not eaten my food at all, as the mental pressure and their torture is mounting day by day,” the letter read.

According to the letter, Jain threatened him through jail officials that if he did not fulfil their requests, he would be transferred to another jail within 48 hours. Chandrashekhar stated that three days after receiving the threats, he was relocated from Jail 14 to Jail 13, which houses hardcore criminals and gangsters.

“I have been severely threatened and harassed by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain, through the Jail Administration and their loyal jail staff. One month back when I was lodged in jail-14, Mandoli, Satyendar Jain, deputed his confidant staff such as Rajender, Superintendent and Jay Singh Deputy Superintendent to threaten me and to again start extorting me but I was very firm that I would not succumb to their threats and pressure,” stated Chandrashekhar in his new letter to the Delhi LG.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar alleges AAP has offered him a seat in the Karnataka Assembly polls and sand mining contracts in Punjab in exchange for evidence

He further said that Jain, through jail officials, gave him a “last chance” to turn over all evidence he had against them and rescind the allegations he submitted to the high-powered committee. In exchange, he has been offered a seat in the Karnataka Assembly elections and sand mining contracts in Punjab, said the conman.

Chandrashekhar also requested the LG to transfer the investigation into his extortion claims against Jain and shunted prisons director general Sandeep Goel to “central agencies.”

Conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar says he gave Rs 60 crores to Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP

Notably, conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar has been levelling a series of serious allegations against the AAP, its supremo Arvind Kejriwal and jailed minister Satyendra Jain. On December 20 he alleged that he gave Rs 60 crores to the Aam Aadmi Party. The video of him giving the statement to the media has gone viral on social media. 

Sukesh’s explosive letters against AAP

In a series of letters written to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and the media, Sukesh levelled a series of allegations against the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party. He alleged to have paid Rs 10 crores to AAP ministry Satyendar Jain as “protection money”. He further said he was harassed and threatened in jail.

Conman Sukesh levels allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as well. He also alleged that AAP leaders were siphoning money meant for the welfare of Children’s education. In his most recent letter, he said he would expose Satyendar Jain and Arvind Kejriwal very soon. He further added that no one had pressured him to write the letters, and he wrote everything of his own will.

Hyderabad Police imposes restrictions on kite-flying during Makar Sankranti to prevent ‘breach of peace’

The Hyderabad police, through a notification, has prohibited kite flying on all thoroughfares and, in and around places of worship in the state capital of Hyderabad during the celebration of the Hindu festival of Makar Sankranti. Additionally, the police have also issued orders preventing loudspeakers and DJs in public places, without obtaining permission from the police authorities.

The orders issued by Hyderabad Police Commissioner C V Anand will be in force from 6 am (Saturday, January 14) to 6 am (Monday, January 16). This, he said, is in the interest of the maintenance of law and order and public safety.

The Police also urged the parents and citizens to advise and guide the children regarding the flying of kites.

The circular issued by the Hyderabad police on January 10, read, “In order to maintain law and order, peace and tranquillity and prevent incidents of breach of peace and accidents that are likely to occur unless kite flying is regulated during the celebration of the Sankranti festival in Hyderabad City from 14-01-2023 to 15-01-2023. I, C.V. Anand, IPS, Commissioner of Police. Hyderabad, in the exercise of the powers vested in me Under Section 22 (1), (2) and (3) of Hyderabad City Police Act, 1348 Fasli (No. IX) do hereby order that kite flying on all thoroughfares and in and around places of worship be prohibited, in the interest of maintenance of public order and public safety.”

Meanwhile, Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay slammed Telangana’s K Chandrashekar Rao government for issuing the arbitrary directive. “Kite flying needs to be regulated to prevent a breach of the peace – #Telangana govt’s version Are there any Restrictions on size, locations & colours for Rangoli too..?” tweeted the BJP leader.

Telangana Police restricts Ganesh Visarjan but grants permission to the Muharram procession

As the Telangana police have prohibited kite flying during Makar Sankranti, it is worth recalling how, last year, the Telangana Government had also denied Hindus permission to participate in the Ganesh procession in Hyderabad, however, allowed Muslims to take out the Muharram procession in the city in the following week.

The decision to allow Muslim groups to take a procession despite a High Court ban and restrict Hindus during the Ganesh Chaturthi by denying a procession then sparked a debate in the state. The KCR-led state government was heavily criticized for the blatant act of minority appeasement.

The festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated to mark the transit of the Sun into the 10th house of the Indian zodiac called Makara (Capricorn) after which the days become longer. The festival is known by names like Maghi, Magha Mela, Bhogiin Northern India, Pedda Pandaga in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana, Sukarat in Central India, Magh Bihu in Assam and Pongal in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. People take dips in holy rivers, fly kites and light bonfires to celebrate Makar Sankranti. The festival is loved by children because of the kite-flying activity. Makar Sankranti has its mention in the Hindu epic of Mahabharata and therefore is believed to be a 5000-year-old festival. The festival is called Uttarayan in Gujarat and is celebrated by flying kites.

Uorfi Javed files complaint against BJP leader Chitra Kishor Wagh for comments on her dressing sense

Bigg Boss OTT fame Uorfi Javed has filed a complaint against Bharatiya Janata Party leader Chitra Kishor Wagh for her alleged remarks on the actor’s ‘immodest’ dress sense.

Uorfi’s lawyer Nitin Satpute said that the OTT star has complained to the Maharashtra State Commission for Women. The complaint against Wagh has been filed for threatening and criminal intimidation to harm the actor in the public domain. The lawyer has also requested preventive action under the relevant section of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).

“I have lodged a complaint for the offence U/s 153(A)(B), 504, 506, 506(ii) of IPC Against BJP Party Worker Smt Chitra Kishor Wagh for Threatening, and Criminal Intimidation to cause harm to Model/Actress Urfi Javed on public domain,” the message from Uorfi Javed’s lawyer read.

“Requested for preventive Action U/s 149 and 107 of CrPC, (Chapter Proceeding against her as she is continuously committing a breach of peace in society by threatening on media ) today have mailed a complaint to Woman Commission and now about 12.30 I will meet Smt Rupali Chakankar Chairman Woman Commission with a written complaint for taking further action,” the message further read.

On January 4, the BJP leader took to Twitter and slammed Uorfi Javed for her dressing sense and asked if the women’s commission would do anything to it or not.

“Half-naked women walk openly on the streets. Why is the Women’s Commission itself not taking notice of this? The protest is not against Uorfi but against the attitude of walking around openly in public places. And yes…the women’s commission will do anything or not?” Wagh tweeted in Marathi.

In another tweet in Marathi, she wrote, “Actions are not needed.. Is it the culture of our Maharashtra to walk naked in public places? Does @Maha_MahilaAyog support Uorfi’s display of body in Bhar Road in Mumbai which is very disgusting?”

Uorfi Javed’s lawyer Nitin Satpute had also said that he would meet the chairperson of the women’s commission and would also file a written complaint in the matter seeking further action.

“After such a public instigation by the BJP Leader Chitra Wagh, she [Uorfi] has a threat to her life as she can be mob lynched so protection should be provided to her for the sake of her well-being,” Javed’s lawyer Nitin Satpute said.

A day after Chitra Kishor Wagh filed her complaint with Mumbai police against Uorfi Javed on her attire, the latter on January 2 hit back at the BJP leader who accused her of ‘roaming on the streets in vulgar outfits’ seeking police action against her.

The social media personality [Uorfi Javed] took to her Instagram stories to share a number of posts responding to the police complaint by the BJP leader.

In the first post, the ‘Bepanaah’ actor shared an image of Chitra posing with a copy of her complaint.

“I’m so proud of myself,” Uorfi Javed wrote alongside that image.

Uorfi then proceeded to respond to the allegation, writing, “I don’t even want a trial or that bullshit, I’m ready to go to jail right now if you disclose your and your family member’s assets. Tell the world how much a politician earns and from where. Also from time to time multiple men in your party have been accused of harassment etc never. Started my new year with another police complaint from another Politician!…”

She even took to her Twitter and posted, “Chitra tai Meri khaas hai Future me hone wali saas hai.”

In another tweet, she wrote, “Meri dp itni dhaasu, Chitra Meri saasu”.

Chitra Wagh shared an image of herself with the Mumbai police on January 1, along with a snap of the police complaint she had lodged against Uorfi Javed.

It is pertinent to note that Uorfi Javed on Sunday broke the silence on her fashion sense and said that “she is allergic to clothes”.

Taking to Instagram, Urfi had dropped a photo in which she could be seen showing her legs filled with boils.

“Anyone gets these allergies in winter?” she captioned the post.

Later, she shared another video in which she revealed that she got boils on her body after she wore some woollen clothes and captioned it, “I am literally allergic to clothes.”

“So now you guys know right why I don’t wear clothes. I have this serious condition. My body starts reacting after wearing clothes. The proof is there. So that’s why main itna nangi rehti hoon (So that’s why I prefer being nude),” Uorfi revealed.

Uorfi Javed rose to fame with her stint on ‘Bigg Boss OTT’, and ever since she has been making headlines for her bold yet peculiar fashion sense.

The ‘Bepannaah’ actor was last seen in the reality TV show ‘MTV Splitsvilla (season 14)’.
