'I'm not proud': Soham Parekh breaks silence on defrauding companies, says he was forced to do it
Soham Parekh said he had dire financial circumstances that forced him to do three jobs simultaneously. Indian techie Soham Parekh, who has been accused of frauding US companies by working in several companies at the same time, owned up to what he did and said he did that out of dire fiancial circumstances. In TBPN's show, Parekh, who worked in multiple US companies lying to them about his location, admitted that the allegations against him are true but he is not proud of what he has done. "I'm not proud of what I've done. That's not something I endorse either. But no one really likes to work 140 hours a week. I had to do it out of necessity. I was in extremely dire financial circumstances," Parekh said in the interview. "I'm not a very people person. I don't share much about what's going on in my life. So I just thought: if I work multiple places, maybe I can elevate myself out of the situation faster," he said. 'I was decent enough, a good enough engineer' In his first interview amid the major moonlighting controversy, he said he likes to believe that he was decent enough, a good enough engineer, to essentially be able to work at three places because that's the only thing he did the entire day. "Some of these companies I worked at were before the Co-Pilot boom. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo There was no AI-assisted programming," he said. Soham Parekh's scam came into light after Suhail Doshi, co-founder of Mixpanel and Playground AI outed him in an X post, warning everyone that Parekh scams startups by faking his resume and working multiple jobs at the same time. "PSA: there's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He's been preying on YC companies and more. Beware," Doshi had said. "He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses." Several CEOs claimed that they interviewed Parekh and got to learn about his scam the hard way.

National Herald case: Documented evidence exhibiting money laundering, says ED to Court
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday concluded its arguments in an alleged money laundering case in which senior Congress leaders Sonia, Rahul Gandhi and other co-accused stand chargesheeted by the agency for their alleged involvement in Congress-linked National Herald newspaper case. The counsel for the agency told a special court here that it is a "classic" case of money laundering. He added that it is an open and shut case with documented evidence exhibiting money laundering. The agency further argued that Young Indian (YI) was used as a "vehicle" with the intention to allegedly usurp assets worth ₹2,000 crore of Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which published the National Herald newspaper. The counsel further contended that after taking over the ownership of AJL, the YI that was controlled by the Gandhi family had announced that it would not publish the newspaper. The agency also alleged that apart from Delhi, the AJL had properties in Lucknow, Bhopal, and Indore, Panchkula, Patna and other parts of the country that had been given by various central and state governments after 1947. ED said that these properties were transferred to YI for making illegal money. The defence will commence its counter arguments on Friday. At the last hearing on Wednesday, the counsel for ED told the court that the agency could make the Congress party an accused in the case if it found evidence of its involvement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chi phí cấy ghép răng là bao nhiêu vào năm 2025 (kiểm tra giá) Cấy ghép răng | Quảng cáo tìm kiếm Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "The ED can make AICC an accused in the future if it finds evidence.

Criminal Justice season 4 ending leaves viewers stunned: The twist no one saw coming sparks storm of reactions online
If there's one thing the finale of Criminal Justice Season 4 proved, it's that no one really saw it coming. Released a day earlier than usual on July 3, the much-anticipated climax of the legal thriller took viewers on an emotional rollercoaster, leaving them stunned and, quite literally, speechless. What followed was a full-blown internet meltdown — from breathless praise to meme explosions, the finale became an instant sensation. Veteran lawyer Madhav Mishra, played with effortless gravitas by Pankaj Tripathi , returns to the courtroom battlefield in what is arguably his most morally complicated case yet. As the plot unfolds, viewers are drawn into the murky depths of a family's breakdown, where love, guilt, illness, and justice collide in heartbreaking ways. The show's gripping narrative, centred around the murder of nurse Roshni Saluja, reveals not just a legal puzzle but an emotional conundrum that tests every character involved. — kush1724 (@kush1724) A Finale That Left Everyone Guessing; and Guessing Wrong Social media has erupted in unison over the shocking final twist — a revelation that not only upended the murder mystery but challenged notions of justice and sacrifice. "Mind blown," "Did NOT see that coming," and "Best Indian thriller ever" were just some of the hundreds of reactions pouring in across Twitter (now X), Reddit, and Instagram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy One, Get One Free, Up To 50% Discount, Expiring Soon Original Adidas Shop Now Undo — wakil_saheeba (@wakil_saheeba) — Shuk_law_ (@Shuk_law_) And then came the memes — thousands of them. From 'MIND BLOWN' GIFs to netizens captioning Madhav Mishra's moral dilemma with existential humour, the finale has given meme-makers enough content to last till the next season drops. — jaisantoshhhhh (@jaisantoshhhhh) — OfficialAayushi (@OfficialAayushi) A Legacy of Twists The Criminal Justice franchise has earned its stripes over the years with layered storytelling and rich performances. While previous seasons featured names like Vikrant Massey, Kirti Kulhari, and Jackie Shroff, this time it's the emotional depth of Surveen Chawla and Zeeshan Ayyub's performances that tugged at the audience's heartstrings. In conversation with India Today, Pankaj Tripathi had joked that the series changed his life — and for fans, this season changed their expectations. The creators pulled off a finale that dared to go beyond a whodunit, opting instead for a why-did-they-do-it and who-will-live-with-it narrative arc. While the show draws no hard conclusions on guilt, it does leave the viewer grappling with human fragility, love, and justice. The decision by Madhav Mishra in the closing moments not only redefines his character but adds philosophical weight to the entire season. It's less about courtroom wins and more about moral reckoning.
