    Meera threatens to hang herself publicly if allegations of fraud are proven true

    Rejecting allegations of fraud, Meera Jee has threatened to hang herself publicly if there are proven to be true. The actor had recently been accused of fraud and earning money through illegal means by a family.

    In a rather emotional and chaotic press conference, the actor rejected all allegations against her and said that she was being targeted.

    “I will hang myself if I am found guilty of fraud and corruption. Some elements are targeting me and continuously doing propaganda. I challenge all those who are involved,” said a teary-eyed Meera.

    Meera then said that if her actions create controversy, then let there be a controversy because she is not scared of anyone except God.

    She went onto say that much like the character she has played on screen, she is a heroine in real life as well.

    “I am a heroine in my real life,” stated the actor. “My whole life and career are based on struggle and hard work.”

    “I’m the superstar of Pakistan, I’m the heroine of Pakistan. In films and in real life, I live in the character of a heroine.”

    Meera added that she was “a good daughter, a good friend, a good sister, pure, virtuous, innocent and an extremely good human being”.

    Meera also claimed that she had gone out of her way to help the family who has accused her of fraud.

    “I offered my own home to a poor family during the corona pandemic. I allowed them to stay there for a period of three months and in return, they are making false accusations against me,” remarked Meera.

    Presenting her account details and bank statements to those gathered, Meera said that her money trail proves that she has not been involved in any fraudulent activity.

    “My bank account and credit history shows that no funds and money has been transferred in my account during this year. Every department can see my bank statement and how much money I earned. My bank account is empty and here, I also present my account numbers to any intelligence agency that want to verify my details as they wish,” she said.

    Meera further said that she has been involved in multiple scandals in her life and this one like the rest does not bother her.

    “Trust me, these are just allegations and there is no truth to them. I have villas in Dubai and are on my name and the relevant agencies are most welcome to investigate them,” said the actor.

    Concluding her address, Meera asserted that she is an honest and honourable woman.

    “Main paak daaman hoon aur mainay hamesha sach bola hai,” said the actor. “It is sad that people for whom I am a ‘real-life hero’ are now blaming me for wronging them.”

    “Time will prove that these allegations are false,” she added.

    As per reports, Meera at the end of the briefing, refused to provide a copy of her bank statement and left the press conference crying. She was reportedly in such a hurry that she left behind her father and domestic help at the press club and rode off with her driver.

    It is pertinent to mention here that earlier this year, Meera had requested Rs 40 million from the Punjab Government under the Artist Support Fund, launched by the Punjab Information and Cultural Department, claiming that she is in financial trouble. However, the department denied her request, adding that they can only offer her Rs 5000-10,000.

    Meera had claimed that she was suffering financially because her shows in USA and Canada had been cancelled due to the pandemic.

    “I suffered a loss of around $100,000. I have to pay back a loan I took in Dubai. I am forced to apply for financial support,” the actor had said.

    Mumbai police detain Republic TV founder Arnab Goswami in suicide case

    Mumbai police have arrested Arnab Goswami, founder of Republic TV, for his alleged role in a two-year-old suicide case, prompting journalists to call this an assault on media freedom.

    Reports in India media stated the controversial anchorperson was detained for investigation over his alleged role in the death of an architect who designed his studio. Anvay Naik took his life in 2018 and his wife accused Goswami of not paying his fee.

    Goswami and Republic TV network deny the allegation.

    As the police team arrested Goswami from his house, videos making rounds on social media showed scuffles taking place between Goswami and the police team. The Republic TV also claimed that the police “manhandled” Goswami’s family members.

    The arrest of the Indian journalist known for his aggressive style of questioning has been denounced by the media professionals, who termed it an attack on press freedom.

    They said they would speak up for Arnab Goswami despite the fact that the latter failed to do so when his peers were targetted by the government.

    The Editors Guild of India, a body of India’s editorial leaders, also came forward to defend the journalist.

    Another journalist expressed concerns over the increase in attacks on press freedom.

  • VIDEO: Ex-RAW officer says Dawood Ibrahim murdered Sushant Singh

    VIDEO: Ex-RAW officer says Dawood Ibrahim murdered Sushant Singh

    Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide case has become a mystery with various theories being linked to it.

    Amid speculations regarding sudden death of the actor, a former officer of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) — India’s foreign intelligence agency — has claimed that Sushant was “murdered by [notorious Indian crime boss and drug dealer] Dawood Ibrahim”.

    According to NK Sood, Sushant was murdered by Dawood with a “foolproof plan”. In a widely-shared video, the ex-RAW officer stated that though Dawood doesn’t live in Mumbai now but still has a strong hold over the city and Bollywood.

    “Many B-town celebrities participate in the events organised by Dawood’s team abroad and help the gangster earn money which is used for funding terrorism. The celebrities also receive a huge sum of money in return,” said Sood.

    Sushant was reportedly getting death threats over the phone before his demise, and thus the actor had even changed his SIM almost 50 times. The actor was so scared for his life that he had even slept in his car at a remote place fearing that someone might kill him at his house.

    Sood claimed that Sushant was murdered by professional criminals and that was why the CCTV cameras at his apartment complex were shut off a day before his demise and the duplicate keys of his room were also misplaced.

    All this evidence is enough to conclude that the actor was murdered, said the ex-RAW officer and added that Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, his close friend Sandeep Singh and his domestic help were well aware of the trouble brewing in Sushant’s life.

    “But they chose to stay away from it and leave the actor alone.”

    He also alleged that the police were trying to put up a show that they were probing the case sincerely, but in reality, they were trying to save the culprit.

    Sushant’s sister-in-law, Sudha Devi, the wife of his cousin, couldn’t bear the loss and breathed her last in Purnea district of Bihar while the actor’s last rites were being performed on Monday, in Mumbai, reported the Times of India.

    A liver cancer patient, Sudha had reportedly stopped eating when she was informed about Rajput’s death by suicide. Family sources revealed that she kept weeping and recalling Sushant’s visit to his ancestral home last year.

    “Sushant’s untimely demise virtually shook her from within. She could not bear the loss,” said a family member.

    Meanwhile, a young fan of Sushant, who was suffering from depression, committed suicide a day after the actor’s death. According to reports, the 17-year-old girl allegedly hanged herself at her home in Patna after continuously watching the news of the actor’s suicide on TV.

    The victim’s mother told the police that her daughter was in depression because she was not performing well in her examinations. She had been watching and reading about the actor’s suicide and death on TV and social media, despite her mother’s warnings and insistence to not watch it.

    When her mother went to the terrace for a stroll, the girl hanged herself inside the bedroom.

    “She tied her mother’s sari to the ceiling fan to commit suicide,” said a police officer, adding that though her mother and neighbours rushed her to the hospital, she was declared dead upon arrival.

    Similarly, another fan of the actor committed suicide after he learnt of his demise.

    The police are investigating Sushant’s suicide to ascertain what might have driven the young actor to end his life.
