The actor’s love for cricket is wellknown and if certain reports are to be believed then the Dabangg superstar is planning to buy an IPL team.

The actor seems to be in a mood for competition and would soon be joining his counterparts in the industry Preity, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh.

Salman had a discussion with Ness

The King of the box-office has expressed an interest in owning a franchise and may sometime soon end up owning a stake.

A source close to the industry has admitted recently that Salman had a deep discussion with the IPL team , owner Ness Wadia . Wadia group scion along with his former girlfriend and actress Preity Zinta owns the team Kings XI Punjab. It is learnt that their conversation all started when the actor had flagged off the Little Hearts Marathon organized by BJ Wadia hospital for underprivileged children. The 48-old actor had enquired about IPL from Ness post the flag off.

This is not the first time Salman had a long length of discussion on this matter; however he had enquired about it on several occasions with his other friends too.

Salman may own IPL any time soon

While there is no clear indication that the actor would soon own a stake it does seems like he is eagerly showing an interest in the tournament owning to his love for the game. Apart from Salman his family also shares the same kind of passion. Not only that, even his brother Sohail Khan is a part of Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) and is also the captain of the Mumbai Heroes team.

“Salman was the chief guest at this marathon that was organised by BJ Wadia hospital for underprivileged children. Post the flag off, Salman was seen talking to Ness. The two were discussing the IPL in great detail,” said a source.

“There is no clear indication that he will pick up a stake in an IPL team his interest in it has only grown with time. He has been making enquiries with Ness. In fact, he has also been asking his other friends about the same. The actor is trying to work out how he can get a piece of the IPL pie as he loves cricket and has a lot of cricketer friends,” further added the source.

Unless Maharashtra govt consents, CBI investigation in SSR case illegal, says Rhea's lawyer

Agencies

August 7,2020

Mumbai, Aug 7: Unless Maharashtra Government consents to CBI investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, it would be illegal, affecting the federal structure of the country, said actor Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered and continued the illegality which was perpetrated at the hands of Bihar Police in connection with the case, he added.

"The Bihar Government transferred a case with which it had no jurisdiction to investigate, to CBI instead of the Mumbai Police which is the legal position. The Supreme Court is seized of the issue pursuant to the transfer petition filed by Rhea Chakraborty," said Satish Maneshinde Chakraborty's lawyer.

The Supreme Court has directed all parties to file their replies and Mumbai Police is directed to place the report of investigations, he added.

"Pending the said proceedings the CBI has registered and continued the illegality which was perpetrated at the hands of Bihar Police.

CBI being a premier investigative agency in the country should desist from taking any further steps pending the SC proceedings. Apart from the same unless the Maharashtra Government consents to CBI investigating the case ... it would be totally illegal and beyond any known legal principles, affecting the Federal Structure of the Nation," said Maneshinde.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the CBI that is probing high profile cases of Vijay Mallya and AgustaWestland cases will now investigate the Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.

The investigating agency has registered a case against six accused including Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty and others in connection with the Rajput's death.

The sources in CBI said that six accused in the case will be summoned soon for questioning and other persons will also be called for examining which was earlier examined by Mumbai police.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had earlier sent a recommendation to the Central Government for CBI investigation in the case filed in Patna based on the complaint of Sushant's father KK Singh against Rhea Chakraborty under sections including abetment of suicide on July 25.

Sushant was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Days after Rajput's death, Rhea Chakraborty said she was the "girlfriend" of the 'Dil Bechara' actor while requesting a CBI inquiry in the case.

Chakraborty has also approached the Supreme Court for transfer of investigation to Mumbai in the FIR registered against her in Patna.
