Mumbai, Feb 2: The police have launched proceedings to prosecute actors Kapil Sharma and Irrfan Khan along with four others, including a developer, as part of the investigation into the BMC's claims of illegal alterations in their apartments at DLH Enclave in Oshiwara.kapil

A first information report was filed by the Oshiwara police last year against the accused under Section 53(7) of the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning (MRTP) Act.

An officer from Oshiwara Police Station said a charge sheet will soon be submitted before the court. The officer also said that "large-scale violations" were found during inspections of the apartments.

"It has been found that the accused carried out alterations+ after the apartments were purchased, and the developer helped them in such renovations," the officer said. Senior inspector Subhash Khanvilkar from Oshiwara Police Station confirmed a charge sheet will soon be filed. "The investigation is over," he said.

The police sources said an inspection of Sharma's apartment revealed the walls were pulled down to make the rooms bigger. "In the original building plan, the kitchen was next to the entrance of the apartment. However, we found it next to a bedroom, which itself was made bigger by pulling down a wall. A major portion of refuge area too was taken over," a police source said.

Irrfan and Sharma -- who is looking to sell off the flat while blaming the DLH developer for alterations - were not available for comment.

Sharma's troubles started in September last year, when he sent out his now infamous "Yeh hain aapke acche din?" tweet to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging the BMC officials had demanded from him a Rs 5 lakh bribe to allow his office to come up (at his Versova bungalow).

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured him of action but soon enough, the popular comedian found himself in deep trouble after the BMC accused him to illegal constructions and flouting environmental norms.

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.

Mumbai, Jun 17: A lawyer on Wednesday moved a criminal complaint against 8 persons, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and producer-director Karan Johar, in a local court regarding the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The court had fixed July 3 as the next date of hearing.

In his complaint filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha alleged that these eight persons forced Sushant to commit suicide under a conspiracy which, he pleaded, amounted to murder.

Others named in the complaint are Aditya Chopra, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bhushan Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, and director Dinesh.

The complainant claimed that these persons did not let Sushant's movies get released under a conspiracy and the late actor was not even invited to film functions because of these people.

Ojha said that Sushant Singh Rajput's death had not only hurt the people of Bihar but the entire country.

He said the complaint had been filed under Sections 306, 109, 504 and 506 and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranawat had been listed as a witness in the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput had allegedly committed suicide at his Bandra flat in Mumbai on Sunday.

Mumbai, Jan 9: Actor Juhi Chawla on Wednesday said instead of constantly criticising the government, one should reflect on own conduct and talk about uniting rather than dividing.

The actor attended an event which aimed to counter "Free Kashmir (narrative), anti-India slogans, false propaganda and clear the misconception."

Juhi said as artistes, it's unfair to be questioned about incidents "just for a reaction" when they should be given time to truly understand the situation.

"We are going to work, thinking how to execute our task, then some incident happens somewhere and suddenly the media asks, 'what do you think about this?' We haven't understood the matter, people haven't understood the matter but you need a reaction.

"Let people understand, whether it's NRC or CAA, and what's is it about, why is this being talked about," Juhi told reporters.

The actor said it is sad that people talk about division more than unity.

"Everyone is quick to talk about dividing. Why don't we talk about uniting? Why does everyone say 'what is the government doing, why is it doing this?' but I say if you point one finger there then three fingers are at you.
