Bengaluru, Nov 15: After sudden raids, the income tax department has confiscated nine expensive cars and a super bike from high-profile 'conman' and Bengaluru native Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is making the rounds of courts across the country under police escort.

Tax sleuths from Bengaluru raided a property in Kochi on November 10 and seized seven cars: a Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, BMW, Fortuner, Prado. They also seized a Ducati bike.

Sukesh shot into the limelight earlier this year when the political drama in Tamil Nadu was at its peak, and he was arrested on the charge of trying to bribe Election Commission officials for an election symbol.

Sukesh is said to be close to TTV Dhinakaran, nephew of Tamil Nadu politician V K Sasikala. Both Dhinakaran and Sasikala, convicted in a disproportionate wealth case, are in jail in Bengaluru.

An under-trial housed in Tihar jail, Sukesh was brought to Bengaluru on October 10.

Tax sleuths had gathered information that the Delhi police team escorting him had allowed him to meet his business associates and shop at the plush UB City mall. Unknown to him, a team of tax sleuths from the Karnataka Investigation Wing was closely monitoring his activities.

They raided a service apartment on Vittal Mallya Road and an apartment in Nagarabhavi and seized two luxury cars, a Bentley and a Jaguar, in addition to what they had already seized in Kochi. They also confiscated expensive wrist watches, said to be worth crores, in Bengaluru.

Sources said Sukesh went about business even under arrest. He received cash from his contacts in Bengaluru, and splurged Rs 5 crore, also in cash, to buy some luxury cars in August this year.

Navas, Sukesh's confidant in Kochi, is said to have been the custodian of his cars. The team from Bengaluru carried out searches in Kochi between November 8 and 10. It got the keys to a locked property in that city from Navas. The property is owned by an NRI. Navas has stated that all expensive articles, including the cars, belong to Sukesh.

Injecting cytokines to reactivate immune system could be useful in treating COVID19 patients, says Bengaluru doctor

March 27,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 27: Oncologist Dr. Vishal Rao, HCG Hospital Bengaluru on Friday said that human body cells release interferon chemical to kill viruses but it cannot be released by cells in the case of COVID-19 cases, leading to weak immune system. However, a therapy of specific concoction could be useful in treating COVID-19 patients.

"We got hold of some preprint suggesting that interferon is effective in COVID19," said Rao.

Speaking to news agency, he continued saying "When we withdraw blood for regular check-ups, we get buffy coat which can be used to take out cells and form interferon. These two chemicals and some other cytokines, in a specific concoction, could be potentially very useful in treating COVID-19 patients."

Rao said that they have built a concoction of cytokines which can be injected to reactivate immune system in COVID-19 patients.

"We are in a very initial stage and hope to be ready with its first set by this weekend. We have applied to the governement for an expedited review. We have also presented this before the state government" said Rao.

"We have a team of infection specialist, ICU team and other...all of us have worked together to build something that we believe. We want to serve the society at this hour of need," he added.

Dr Rao clarified that this is not a vaccine and this particular interferon therapy does not help to prevent the infection of COVID-19. However, this is focused and targeted towards COVID-19 positive patients or those who have just incubated the virus.

"We believe that in early stages as well as the patients who have just incubated, this particular therapy of interferon gama and other concoction of cytokines could be an effective method. In the late stages we are looking at specific dosage of the cells which are our own body cells which can actually be affective and could also be of use for the ventilator patients," he added.

Meanwhile, Dr Gururaj, Immunologist and Scientist told ANI that they are trying to cover two aspects, one is the early stage patients where they are trying to improve their immune systems.

"As Dr Vishal said, we are trying to see whether we can use the cytokines from our own immune cells which is a natural process but it is hampered in infected patients," said Dr Gururaj.

"In the last phase we are using cells which are used from the bone marrow of the patient or donors. We can use those cells to reduce the inflation and so called cytokines release syndrome which is basically the inflammatory response of the body," he added.
