Actor who appeared in films headlined by Mohanlal, Mammootty, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan lost in love; was forced into sex work, died of AIDS
Though enchanting and enticing from the outside, the world of cinema has often been described as beguiling by many of those on the inside. While several aspirants have eventually achieved stardom and ascended to the top, the number of people whose lives withered away without their dreams being fulfilled is far higher. Among such artistes whose lives took a massive nosedive and ended in tragedy is actor Nisha Noor. Despite appearing in films headlined by South superstars like Mohanlal, Mammootty, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan, it was cinema itself that led to Nisha's downfall and eventual lonely death. Born in Tamil Nadu, she was reportedly married off to one of her cousins during her teenage years, but that relationship did not last long. They eventually parted ways, as per a Mathrubhumi report. Although her foray into cinema was accidental, Nisha grew too big too soon in the 1980s and early '90s. However, her life took a tragic turn when she fell in love with a film producer. Her affection, unfortunately, was exploited. Under the pretence of love, he drained her savings before abandoning her. By then, her acting career had also begun to fade, pushing Nisha into financial issues, with no one to help. Her hardships did not end there. As the financial crisis worsened, she was reportedly forced into sex work, with rumours even suggesting that her former partner himself played a role in this desperate turn of events in her life. With this, the doors of the cinema world closed before her forever, and no one was willing to collaborate with her anymore. Sooner or later, everyone forgot her, and Nisha faded from the memories of people as well. Years later, she was spotted sleeping outside a dargah. Unfortunately, she had become unrecognisable due to poor physical health. A Tamil NGO rescued the emaciated woman, and while she was undergoing medical examination in a hospital, they all learned that this was none other than actor Nisha Noor, who had once lit up people's faces whenever she appeared on screen. Police investigations reportedly revealed that she had been living with her mother and after the latter's death, she was completely alone. Later, according to the Times of India, it was revealed that she was suffering from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Nisha Noor passed away in 2007 at a hospital.

Gurgaon man handed five months in jail for cheque bounce
Gurgaon: Five years after the cheque was returned by the bank for insufficient balance, a city court awarded five months of imprisonment to the convict and directed him to settle the pending amount with interest to the complainant. The complainant, Munesh, had a friendly relationship with the convict, Satish, as the two had been neighbours and classmates since childhood. Between 2012 and 2017, Satish borrowed Rs 15 lakh from Munesh for business and personal expenses, promising to repay or transfer property in lieu of the debt. He reiterated this in a 2018 affidavit, pledging repayment within 24 months. In Feb 2020, Munesh demanded repayment. Satish returned Rs 3.40 lakh through bank transfer and sought more time. In July 2020, Satish issued a cheque for Rs 11.60 lakh, which bounced in Oct with the remark "fund insufficient".

He finally filed a cheque bounce case in Nov 2020. Satish denied liability, claiming the cheque was not for repayment, but failed to explain how Munesh obtained it. The court noted that Satish produced no evidence to support his defence, nor lodged any complaint over alleged misuse of his cheque. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glasgow: Unsold 2025 Cruise Cabins Now At Reduced Prices (See Offers) FavoriteSearches | Search Ads Learn More Undo Munesh, meanwhile, presented the 2018 affidavit as proof of debt. The court held it proved that the cheque in question was issued by the accused in discharge of his legally enforceable debt or liability, and convicted Satish of cheque bounce. Judicial Magistrate Ist Class (JMiC) Priya Gupta, in her order, observed that leniency in cases involving economic offences is not warranted and is against the very object of the legislation. Satish was awarded five months of simple imprisonment and was directed to pay Rs 15.10 lakh (cheque amount along with interest) to the complainant.

Digitise teachers' records on Shalarth, or else pay will stop, Nagpur schools told
Nagpur: As the education department moves into hyper active mode to cleanse the system post the teacher hiring racket in Nagpur, now popularly known as the Shalarth ID scam, all primary schools in Nagpur have been directed to digitise service records of teachers in the official database with immediate effect. Teachers risk not getting paid for the month of August if their service record is not uploaded in the Shalarth portal, the online system of state education department for maintaining teachers' service records and processing their monthly salary bills digitally. Local education officials have asked schools to upload documents like appointment letters, approval orders, pay fixation, promotion, and leave records in PDF format for all employees appointed between November 2012 and July 2025. Officials warned that non-compliance could result in the stoppage of salaries from this month. Schools have been instructed that all entries must be made using employee login IDs and verified by the deputy disbursing officer (DDO) concerned who handles salary payments. While most teachers have welcomed the move in principle, associations have flagged practical hurdles. "According to the circular, even those who completed 25 to 30 years of service but received their Shalarth ID only after 2012 will now have to upload their original appointment order. But in many private schools, managements never issued such original orders. Teachers were asked to join either by issuing photocopies or even oral instructions. Where will such teachers now get their original orders from?" asked Sharad Bhandarkar, state general secretary of Maharashtra Navnirman Shikshak Shikshakettar Sena. Bhandarkar further said that the new rule is being enforced strictly, with officers warning that August salaries will not be released if documents are missing. "It is like punishing the innocent instead of the real culprits. Teachers are being held responsible for lapses which are actually due to mismanagement by school administrations," he said, adding that this has created anger among staff.
