A worker of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was apprehended for trying to lure voters with money in the Gariadhar assembly constituency in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat.
As per reports, the accused was identified as Deepak Khunte. He gave ₹3 lakh rupees to 8 members of the Koli community in exchange for voting for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Deepak had tasked the 8 men to convince his community to vote en masse for the AAP, which is desperately trying to make in-roads in Gujarat.
They were identified as Rajubhai Khodabhai Mavatiya, Kanubhai Mathurbhai Mavatiya, Bhupatbhai Chhaganbhai Makwana, Jayesh Valjibhai Makwana, Kharabhai Vajabhai Zinzuwadia, Dhirubhai Veljibhai Parmar, Gordhanbhai Bachubhai Chauhan and Manjibhai Ravjibhai Zinzuwadia.
The 8 men, who are residents of Gundarna village, agreed to the nefarious plan. Reportedly, each of them took ₹75,000 as a bribe from Deepak to help garner votes for the Aam Aadmi Party.
They had camped at a hotel the Shetrunji Dam Chowk on Talaja-Palitana road to buy tea and biscuits. Pankaj Kumar Rathod, the assistant Development Officer of Gariadhar Taluk, was present at the same hotel and managed to ‘overhear’ their conversation.
He immediately informed the Jessar Police about the matter. While the 8 men were en route to the Gariadhar constituency, the Flying Surveillance or Squad Team (FST) of the Election Commission nabbed them near Jesar Chokdi.
They confessed to receiving the money from AAP worker Deepak Khunte. The development comes days ahead of the upcoming Vidhan Sabha polls in the State.
Uorfi alias Urfi Javed, an actress and Instagram star popular for her unconventional fashion sense, is more popular than entertainers such as Taapsee Pannu, Richa Chadha and Swara Bhasker. As per google Trends, Uorfi, who recently made headlines for calling out author Chetan Bhagat for calling her a ‘distraction’ for young men, is searched many folds more than the three other entertainers.
We compared the trends from the last 12 months and found that despite of ‘befitting’ PR teams that Pannu, Chadha and Bhasker have at their disposal, Uorfi trended far more than the trio. Only Taapsee Pannu among the three managed to match the trending status of Uorfi once during the last 12 months in January this year. In August, she peaked twice but could not match Uorfi’s popularity. Compared to Uorfi, Swara Bhasker’s trend map was almost flat throughout the year, and Richa Chadha’s trend map only spiked once during October but could not match Uorfi’s trend map.

Interestingly, Uorfi’s trend map matched Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity twice last year, once in April and a second time in October.

Similarly, compared to the very famous South Indian actor Allu Arjun, the trend maps of Uorfi and Allu remained in tough competition for most of the year.

Uorfi has 3.9 million followers on Instagram. Shah Rukh Khan has 32.7 million followers, Allu Arjun has 19.7 million followers, Swara Bhasker has 1 million followers, Richa Chadha has 2.5 million followers, and Pannu has 20 million followers on Instagram.
Unlike the movie actors like Swara and Tapasee, Uorfi does not have a PR team to handle her image. But despite that, she appears on news almost every week, thanks to her self-designed bold dresses which are made from extremely unconventional materials. She has the ability to convert anything to a dress, be it safety pins, audio tapes, photographs of herself, wires, or even steel wool. Uorfi Javed regularly posts photographs and videos of her wearing those bold and bizarre outfits, earning her both praises and cringes.
Uorfi Javed was seen in the music videoHaye Haye Yeh Majboori by Saregama Music which was released last month. Earlier this month, she joined the Dating Reality Show ‘Splitsvilla X4’ on MTV as one of the contestants. The show is hosted by Arjun Bijlani and Sunny Leone.
On November 26, actress Uorfi Javed, who is popular for her social media presence and unconventional fashion sense, called out author Chetan Bhagat for his remarks where he called Uorfi a ‘distraction’ for young boys. In a series of Instagram stories, Uorfi lashed out at Bhagat for his remarks and shared his leaked chats from a few years ago that went viral during the MeToo campaign. Chetan Bhagat was accused of sexual misconduct by a journalist and later by controversial author and yoga instructor Ira Trivedi.

Chetan Bhagat’s remarks against Uorfi
Aaj Tak invited Bhagat for ‘Sahitya Aaj Tak’ as ‘Motivational Writer’. The channel streamed his interview during the event on November 20. At the beginning of the interview, he praised the audience for coming to the event and said instead of watching OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Ullu TV, people decided to listen to authors at the event. He mocked the OTT platform Ullu TV and pointed out that people who were laughing in the audience were aware of the platform.
Speaking about the content available on the internet, he said, “Phone has been a great distraction for the youth, especially the boys, spending hours just watching Instagram reels. They keep liking the photos. There are photos of Uorfi Javed. See, everyone knows who Uorfi Javed is. Why do you know? Is it going to be part of a course? Are you going to tell in an interview that you know about all the dresses of Uorfi Javed? It is not even Uorfi’s fault, as she is trying to make her career. There are many others.”
Comparing the followers of the likes of Uorfi with the soldiers on the border, he said, “One section of youth sitting on Kargil border and defending the nation. The other section of the youth is inside the blanket and watching photos of Uorfi Javed.” He further said that cheap data does not mean you keep scrolling reels on social media mindlessly.
Bhagat further added, “I do not want to become the ‘uncle’ who gives ‘gyaan’. This is why I talked about Uorfi Javed to mention ‘see we have also seen’. Today she wore a dress made of two phones. Have you seen it? Many have already seen it. It gets viral faster than the news.”
Uorfi Javed reacted to Chetan’s remarks
The remarks passed by the author did not garner many headlines or attract a reaction from Uorfi. However, following an op-ed in Firstpost where the author called out Bhagat for the remarks that were published on November 25, it seems to have got the attention of the actress. In a series of stories, Uorfi lashed out at Bhagat.
She wrote, “Guys, let’s not forget how so many women accused him during me too case!!.

Sharing a screenshot of the Firstpost op-ed, she said, “Jab apni aadhi umar ki ladkiyo ko Instagram or WhatsApp me msg kar rahe the tab un ladkiyo k kapdo ne distract kiya tha na?”

She added, “Men like him will always blame the woman than accept their own shortcomings!! Just because you are a pervert does not mean it is the girl’s fault or what she is wearing! Unnecessarily dragging me into a conversation, commenting on how my clothes are distracting young boys is such a f**ked thing to say! You messaging young girls isn’t a distraction for them, though?”

She further said it was not right to blame women for what they wear, and by giving such remarks, Bhagat was “encouraging men” to put the blame on the women and their clothing. She said, “Stop promoting rape culture, you sickos out there! Blaming women’s clothes for the behaviour of men is so 80s Mr Chetan Bhagat. Who was distracting you when you messaged girls half of your age? Always blame the opposite gender, and never accept your own shortcomings or faults! People like you are misguiding the youth, not me. Encouraging men to put the blame on the women or her clothing when they are at fault.”

She also uploaded a video on her Instagram stories where she said, “I do not understand the need of mentioning my name at a literature festival. I am not an author. Also, you said youth is getting distracted by watching my photos. Leave that aside. First, tell me why you, who is double the age of youth, were sending messages to girls half of your age? Was that not distracting? Were your marriage and your children not getting affected by it?”
‘My statement was taken out of context’ said Chetan Bhagat
In a tweet quoting Firstpost, Bhagat alleged his statement was taken out of context by Firstpost. He said, “I told guys to focus on fitness and their career and not waste their time on Instagram. Apparently, that’s not ok! So they cut my statement, say it out of context, the headline with adding things I never said, and do a click-bait piece with ageism thrown in too. Of course.”

In October 2018, a journalist leaked chats allegedly sent by Chetan Bhagat where he was “trying to woo her” and ignored her protest that he was married. Soon after, Bhagat released a statement on Facebook and apologised to the person. Later, controversial author Ira Trivedi also accused him. Chetan released a screenshot of an email sent by Ira in retaliation after which she sent him a legal notice.
In a major development in the Mangaluru auto rickshaw blast case, it has been reported that there was an active satellite phone in the area before the explosion. Suspicious phone calls were made from a satellite phone in the area in the lead-up to the blast.
According to local media reports, the satellite phone was active in the forest areas of Dakshina Kannada, Uttar Kannada, and Udupi.
Reportedly, on November 18, a day before the blast, the satellite phone was active in the Kakkinje forest near Bantwal village. As Shariq reached the Bantwal area, the satellite phone was more active. Police and intelligence agencies suspect that Shariq went to the forest area to establish contact with other sleeper cells. The intelligence agencies have traced the satellite phone’s location.
Shariq was reportedly visiting forest areas in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and other southern states in the past few months in order to establish ISIS terrorist modules.
Interestingly, a lesser-known Islamist terrorist outfit Islamic Resistance Council (IRC) claimed responsibility for the blast in Mangaluru on November 19. The Islamist group has said that one of its ‘Mujahid brothers’ Mohammad Shariq attempted to blow up a ‘Hindutva temple’ in Kadri.
Days after the explosion in Karnataka’s coastal town Mangaluru was confirmed to be a homemade pressure cooker bomb, it has come to light that the accused in the case, Mohammed Shariq, utilized cryptocurrency to carry out the terror operation.
Reportedly, the probing agencies noted that Shariq and his handlers used cryptocurrencies and the dark web to make financial transactions and received funds online to execute the blast. Shariq traded in bitcoins and received funding online from the Middle east for the terror operation.
On November 19, an auto-rickshaw exploded in Mangaluru, Karnataka’s coastal town. The accused terrorist Mohammed Shariq was carrying a pressure cooker, and police found that there was an improvised explosive device (IED) inside the cooker which exploded. Shariq had hired the auto-rickshaw posing as a passenger.
Gelatin powder, circuit boards, tiny bolts, batteries, mobile phones, wood power, aluminium multimeters, cables, mixing jars, pressure cookers, and other components required to build explosives were found by the FSL team from the room rented by Shariq. One mobile phone, two fake Aadhaar cards, one fake pan card, and one FINO debit card were also recovered by the forensic experts.
In a strange incident, students at a school in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, were booked for taunting a teacher and making obscene remarks about her.
The teacher, a hijab-wearing woman, filed a formal complaint, saying that she is depressed as a result of students making sexually inappropriate comments and making the videos public.
‘आई लव यू मेरी जान, ओए मैम देख तो…’
उत्तर प्रदेश के मेरठ में महिला टीचर पर अश्लील टिप्पणी करने वाले इन छात्रों को ‘मुकम्मल इलाज’ की जरूरत प्रतीत होती है। pic.twitter.com/zy8beLW4qe
The incident occurred in Meerut’s Ram Manohar Lohia Inter College in the Kithor Police Station area, where Aman, Kaif, and Amaltas of Class 12 openly harassed the teacher teaching in their class. Occasionally they said ‘I love you’ in class, and at times they embarrassed the teacher by making vulgar remarks during the prayer gathering.
According to the teacher, who is Muslim and wears a hijab throughout school, she is quite disturbed by the students’ behaviour. The students finally crossed the limit of her tolerance when they shared the video of harassment on social media. Fearing defamation in the classroom and now in her neighbourhood, the teacher decided to take action and notified the police. An FIR has been filed as a result.
According to inspector Arvind Mohan Sharma, 4 students including a girl have been booked under IPC Sections 354 and 500 and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act. The teacher has stated that she has been going through depression as a result of this harassment.
In the videos which have gone viral on social media, the students can be seen making obscene remarks and saying ‘I Love You’ to the teacher inside the classroom while she is teaching. Three boys can be seen making lewd remarks to the teacher while one of them has a lollipop in his mouth.

The student can be seen licking a lollipop while making sexually inappropriate remarks about the teacher. As a hijab-wearing woman gets harassed, Ironically, women who wear hijabs are considered safer than those who do not. Women who refuse to wear hijab are also objectified as unwrapped sweets or lollipops by hijab apologists.

On social media, the lollipop allegory is especially popular among conservative Muslims. A lollipop with a swarm of flies on it is depicted, as is a covered lollipop with flies staying away from it. “You cannot avoid them, but you can protect yourself. Your Creator knows what is better for you.” the caption says.
The example goes on to argue that Muslim women who wear hijabs deserve respect, but those who do not follow the Islamic mandate of wearing a veil are akin to unwrapped lollipops and candies and should be avoided and rejected.
Two controversial domes built over a bus stop in Mysuru, Karnataka, disappeared overnight on Sunday. After BJP MP Pratap Simha warned to take immediate action if the domes were not taken down, the structures were removed. Simha had declared that the two domed structures built atop the bus station, which surround a larger central dome, resembled mosques and had set a deadline for removing them.
Now the two smaller domes have been removed, and only the bigger dome at the centre remains. After the domes disappeared from the bus stop, Pratam Simha took to Twitter and wrote, “If there is a big dome in the middle and two smaller domes next to each other, it is a mosque. Thanks to the District Collector who asked for time and kept his word and to Ramdas ji who understood the reality and bowed to the referendum.”
ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲೊಂದು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗುಂಬಜ್, ಅಕ್ಕಪಕ್ಕ ಎರಡು ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಗುಂಬಜ್ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅದು ಮಸೀದೀನೇ, ಅದನ್ನು ತೆರವು ಮಾಡಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ ಎಂದಿದ್ದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರಂತೆ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕಾಲಾವಕಾಶ ಕೇಳಿ ಮಾತಿನಂತೆ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಾಗು ವಾಸ್ತವ ಅರಿತು ಜನಾಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ತಲೆಬಾಗಿದ ರಾಮದಾಸ್ ಜಿ ಅವರಿಗೂ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು. pic.twitter.com/9b1wPLULJ4
Earlier on 15 November, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) served a notice on the Mysore city corporation, requesting that the dome-structured bus shelter in Karnataka’s Mysore be removed. The NHAI allowed the local council one week to remove the structures.

In a letter to MCC and Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL) dated November 15, the NHAI project director stated, “Since it has developed communal issues as per the National Highway Administration Act this may be treated as notice otherwise as per the Highway Administration Act 2003, action will be initiated.”
Since Simha threatened to demolish the dome-like structure outside JSS College on Ooty Road on Monday, the bus stop has been a source of friction between Simha, the Mysuru-Kodagu MP, and BJP MLA S A Ramdas. According to Ramdas, the bus stop was not built following religious lines but was modelled after the Mysuru Palace and is situated in the Krishnaraja Vishan Sabha constituency, which is one of his electoral boundaries.
On Thursday, Simha stuck to his stance while MLA Ramdas said he was being singled out and pressured into quitting the party. He continued by saying that he had apprised Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister, on the matter. Ramdas held a meeting with CM Bommai, according to CM Bommai, who also said he had asked an expert committee to look into the situation.
On Saturday, November 26, Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal Assembly said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will definitely be rolled out in the state. Adhikari also dared Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to stop its implementation if she can.
While addressing a public meeting in Thakurnagar in North 24 Parganas district, an area dominated by the Matua community who have their roots in Bangladesh, Adhikari asserted that residents who have valid documents will not lose their citizenship. He also assured the Matua community members that they will be granted Indian citizenship.
“The CAA does not imply that anyone’s citizenship will be withdrawn if they are a bonafide resident with legal documents,” Adhikari said.
In an indirect reference to CM Mamata Banerjee, Suvendu Adhikari said, “We’ve talked about the CAA several times. It will be implemented throughout the state. Stop it from being enacted if you have the guts to do so.”
The Nandigram MLA reiterated how the Narendra Modi government has kept one of its promises by abrogating Article 370 in Kashmir. “Similarly, the PM Modi-led BJP government will also fulfill its promise of implementing the CAA. There is no plan to take away anyone’s rights. PM Modi does not believe in divisive politics,” Adhikari added.
The BJP leader shared a video of his address to the crowd and tweeted, “Addressed the Matua Community at Thakurnagar; North 24-Parganas District and assured them about the Central government’s commitment regarding the implementation of the CAA.”

Shantanu Thakur, Union Minister, and BJP MP from Bongaon, also stated that the CAA will be a reality in West Bengal, and the Narendra Modi government is committed to achieving the goal.
About the Matua community
The Matua community in the state is divided into two factions, the BJP and the TMC. Members of the community, who constitute a sizable proportion of the state’s Scheduled Caste population, have been migrating to West Bengal since the 1950s, primarily due to religious persecution in Bangladesh.
The estimated 30 lakh Matuas living in the state have sway over at least five Lok Sabha seats and nearly 50 assembly seats in the districts of Nadia, North, and South 24 Parganas.
Recently, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the CAA has already been approved by the government and that individuals should stop fantasizing about the law being repealed or not being enforced. Shah at the Times Now Summit in New Delhi reminded that the CAA, the legislation that sparked widespread demonstrations and rioting, has not been placed in a cold freezer.
We need to make rules for implementation of CAA, which is pending because of Covid. Those who are dreaming that CAA won’t be implemented, are wrong. CAA is a reality and law of the land.
On delay in enforcement, Shah stated that the COVID-19 pandemic-triggered lockdowns had driven the process of CAA rollout back, but the remaining formalities would be completed soon. The home minister also stated that the NRC is also still on the government’s agenda.
Protests against Covid restrictions in China, which started in Xinjiang province in the west following the Urumqi fire disaster that killed 10 people, have now spread across China.
On Thursday, 24th November 2022, a building in Urumqi in Xinjiang caught fire. People could not easily escape the inferno because of the strict lockdown that has been imposed as part of China’s zero-Covid policy. The tragedy sparked angry protests in Urumqi, and now those protests have spread to other major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Lanzhou, along with universities across the country.
Although there has been growing popular opposition to Beijing’s zero-Covid policy, large-scale, confrontational demonstrations are uncommon in China. However, this time, angry protestors are facing off against the police shouting slogans against Chinese president Xi Jinping and the Communist Party.
Videos widely circulated on Chinese social media show hundreds of people in downtown Shanghai shouting “Step down, Xi Jinping! Step down, Communist Party”. The gathered crowd held a candlelight vigil as well in memory of the victims of the Urumqi fire. They also held blank sheets of white paper, as part of a symbolic protest against the oppressive policies of the Chinese regime.
Shanghai was not the only place to see protests against the strict covid lockdowns, protests also broke out in the capital city of Beijing.
Students at the prestigious Peking University in Beijing held a protest shouting slogans demanding the end of lockdowns and implored the government to look at the rest of the world moving on from Covid.
In the city of Lanzhou, protestors destroyed the PCR testing booths set up by the authorities as the anger against the zero-covid policy spilled over.
Protests against C0VID restrictions are continuing and growing in China. Residents destroy PCR test booths tonight in Lanzhou. pic.twitter.com/SrL3u1HqYy
With the rest of the world moving back to normalcy after Covid, anger against China’s strict restrictions has been growing in the country. During the broadcast of the ongoing FIFA World Cup, visuals of thousands of fans mingling without any masks or restrictions have also sparked anger among the Chinese. Many Chinese citizens were left asking if Qatar is on another planet where they can move around without any restrictions there while we have to live in lockdowns.
A Delhi-based YouTuber couple was arrested for allegedly extorting more than Rs 80 lakh from a businessman after honey-trapping him and threatening to implicate him in a false rape case, the police informed.
The victim is the owner of an advertising agency and filed a complaint against the couple in August. However, the couple applied to the court for interim bail. Their interim bail was recently dismissed, and after that, an FIR was filed against them at Sector 50 police station earlier this week.
According to the victim, a resident of Gurugram’s Badshahpur, he came in contact with a woman named Namra Qadir, a resident of Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh. They met at Hotel Radisson on Sohna Road in Gurugram where they discussed making an advertisement for his company.
The complainant stated that during their meeting, a person named Virat alias Manish Beniwal accompanied Qadir. They asked Rs 2.50 for making the advertisement, and accordingly the complainant made the payment. After few days, she demanded Rs 50,000 more, and he transferred that amount to her account.
But when he asked her for the output of the job, she proposed to him for marriage instead, expressing her liking for him. According to the police, the businessman later became friends with the couple and spent nights with Namra Qadir and Virat. During this time, the couple began recording their private moments, which they used to blackmail the businessman.
The businessman said that in August this year, he along with Namra Qadir and Manish went to a club for partying, and booked a room there late at night. When he woke up in the morning, Virat alias Manish Beniwal asked him to hand over his bank cards and the iWatch he was wearing. Manish pointed a weapon at the man, saying that he is the husband of Qadir, and threatened that if he does not pay them money they will implicate him in a false rape case.
According to the complainant, Namra Qadir and Manish extorted more than Rs 80 lakh in cash and other expensive items from him using that threat. The matter came to light after he borrowed Rs5 lakh form his father to give to the couple. When he withdrew Rs5 lakh from his father’s bank account, his father asked why he needed the money. He didn’t hide the matter and narrated everything to his father. After that, his father took him to the police station to lodge a complaint.
The police said that they had served the couple with a notice on October 10, but they had applied for interim bail in Gurugram. The interim bail was rejected on November 18, after which an FIR was registered against them.
On Thursday, Sector 50 police station SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the youtube couple were booked under sections 388 (extortion by putting any person in fear), 328 (causing hurt by mean of poison), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). SHO Kumar informed that raids are being conducted and the accused will be arrested soon.
Second case in a week of vlogger couple blackmailing and extorting money
This is the second case of bloggers extorting people that has emerged in a week. Just a couple of days ago, a vlogger couple Nishad and Rashida were arrested in Kerala for extorting Rs 23 lakh from a 68-year-old businessman. The couple is active on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, and Rashida the businessman on Facebook in July 2021. She began to chat with him on the social media platform. Soon they became friends, and she invited him to her apartment in Aluva. There, they became intimate, after she convinced him by saying that her husband knows everything and he has given consent for it. She had put up secret cameras with the help of her husband, and their acts were recorded on camera.
Using these visuals, the couple started to blackmail the businessman and extorted money from him. They extorted money from him in instalments, and the was forced to borrow money from others to pay them. But when his family members asked him about his changed behaviour and missing money, he eventually revealed everything. After that that his family members lodged a complaint with the police. By that time, the man had paid Rs 23 lakh to them. Nishad has been sent to jail, while Rashida was granted bail as she is the mother of two infants.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain is under the spotlight over the special treatment meted out to him in Tihar Jail. Much to the embarrassment of the party, several CCTV videos have surfaced on social media showing Jain’s luxurious experience in his prison cell despite the party’s denials of special treatment.
In a new CCTV footage, unidentified individuals were seen cleaning the room of the AAP Minister. A man, dressed in black, was spotted sweeping the floor with a wet rag while another man was seen arranging the pillows on the bed.
#WATCH | CCTV video emerges of housekeeping services going on in the cell of jailed Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain. Later, he can also be seen interacting with people in his cell. pic.twitter.com/tw17pF5CTQ
Satyendar Jain was also seen interacting with the now-suspended Tihar jail superintendent Ajit Kumar while he lay comfortably on his bed. He was also spotted talking with 4-5 unidentified men.
While reacting strongly to the development, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, “After Tihar’s AAP Ka Darbar now Room service in Tihar! 8-10 people providing housekeeping & VVIP services to Satyendra Jain who also enjoyed maalish by child rapist , TV, mineral water, fruits, dry fruits, Nawabi meal, personal visit by jail superintendent! What is going on?”

On November 19, a video went viral on social media showing VIP treatment being meted out to Jain. Jain was seen receiving foot and head massages. In a bizarre defence of Jain getting a foot massage, Manish Sisodia claimed that Jain was taking physiotherapy for a ‘spine injury.’
Later on, it was revealed that the masseur of jailed Delhi Minister Satyendra Jain whose videos of getting massages went viral has been identified as one rape accused named Rinku, and not a physiotherapist.
The masseur providing massage to Satyendar Jain is a prisoner Rinku. He’s a prisoner in a rape case, charged under Section 6 of the POCSO Act & 376, 506 & 509 of IPC.
