Bad news for Arshad Warsi, his wife as they get banned from..., fined Rs 5 lakh each for...
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi is a well-known, versatile actor who started his journey as a dance choreographer and later found a chance in acting, which became a huge opportunity for him. Over the years, Arshad has impressed audiences with his performances in both comedy and serious roles, earning a strong fan following. However, this time Arshad has landed into serious trouble that is associated with the share market. Arshad Warsi and Wife Banned By…
In a major action, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) has banned Arshad, his wife Maria Goretti, and 57 other people from taking part in the stock market. This ban is for one to five years, depending on their role in the case. The issue is linked to a scam involving Sadhna Broadcast Ltd.
As per reports, SEBI found that some YouTube channels had posted fake videos to trick people into buying shares of the company. The videos claimed that big companies like the Adani Group were planning to buy Sadhna Broadcast or invest huge money in it. These false claims made the share prices go up quickly. Once the prices were high, the people involved sold their shares to make big profits. This type of fraud is called a 'pump-and-dump' scheme. Arshad and His Wife to Pay…
According to Hindustan Times, on May 29, SEBI published a long 109-page report that shed light on the entire scheme. The time frame for SEBI's probe is March 8, 2022, to November 30, 2022. As per their findings, shares of Sadhna Broadcast were manipulated during this time.
Arshad Warsi and his wife were named as volume creators, which means that they bought and sold shares when the false videos were posted. Arshad reportedly made around Rs 29.43 lakh, while Maria made about Rs 37.56 lakh. SEBI fined them Rs 5 lakh each and has asked them to return the money they earned illegally, with 12% interest per year.
In total, 59 people were found guilty in this scam, including the promoters of Sadhna Broadcast, as they made illegal profits of over Rs 58 crore. SEBI has given out penalties between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 5 crore, depending on how much each person has earned from this scam.

Needed soon: A switch to life-work balance
I see two sets of people around me. One overworked with no time for anything else, and the other hardly with any work. Both have their own challenges—one has no time to breathe and the other has all the time only to breathe. The first ones are the working-age group, mostly working in a corporate environment. This group spends long hours in traffic to reach their offices, where the employers expect them to work long hours so that stakeholders can be well rewarded. They spend their most youthful years, the 20s and 30s, slogging to earn a good life for their old age and for educating their young children. They hardly enjoy their young days beyond eating out or ordering in. Vacations are meant for resorts that promise convenience at a cost. There is no time for friendships and the finer things in life; they are available to their families mostly for major life events. The second set are retired people in their 60s and beyond, sometimes a little younger. Their life is structured with pensions, saved money and well-settled children. Being educated, they can do a lot, but the mental makeup may not encourage. Honestly, there are hardly any opportunities for them in a youth-obsessed world. They end up consuming all the content on TV, OTTs, YouTube, with WhatsApp as a lifeline. Those who are active are mostly active on the stock market. That leaves us with those in their 40s and 50s. By 40, most people start developing anxieties about their professional future. It is that stage of the career where the pyramid quickly gets narrower and not everyone can go up. Multiple fresh recruits can be hired by replacing one mid-management resource. In new-age industries, there is hardly any space for those above 50. Though the retirement age is usually at least 58, practically, people start getting redundant much sooner.

PM Modi virtually inaugurates Satna and Datia Airports, boosting regional connectivity in Madhya Pradesh
New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): In a significant milestone for regional connectivity and infrastructure development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday virtually inaugurated the newly developed Satna Airport and the upgraded Datia Airport in Madhya Pradesh. The historic occasion, which marks a transformative leap for the Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand regions, was celebrated through physical events held at both airports, symbolising the Government of India's resolve to extend the benefits of air travel to every corner of the country under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme, according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The ceremony at Datia Airport was graced by the presence of Union Minister for Civil Aviation Ram Mohan Naidu, while the event at Satna Airport was attended by Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol. Both ministers highlighted the Ministry of Civil Aviation's unwavering focus on enhancing regional connectivity, improving accessibility, and catalysing local economies. The Satna Airport, developed by the Airports Authority of India at a cost of Rs 36.96 crore, is set to serve as a major regional hub in northeastern Madhya Pradesh. Known for its cultural and industrial prominence, Satna's new airport will now provide seamless connectivity to religious and industrial centers such as Chitrakoot and Maihar. The terminal building, spread over 768 square meters, can handle 50 peak-hour passengers and up to 2.5 lakh passengers annually. With modern passenger amenities, a recarpeted runway, apron facilities for Dornier-228 aircraft, and dedicated infrastructure including an ATC tower and fire station, the airport is poised to transform regional mobility. Sustainable features such as 100 per cent LED lighting, solar streetlights, and treated water reuse for horticulture further underline the eco-conscious approach adopted in its development. The upgraded Datia Airport, constructed at a cost of Rs 60.63 crore, will connect the historic town of Datia--revered for its spiritual significance and architectural heritage--to the national aviation map. The airport features a 768-square-meter terminal building with the capacity to handle 150 peak-hour passengers and an annual footfall of 2.5 lakh. With operational readiness for ATR-72 aircraft and future plans to accommodate A-320 aircraft, Datia Airport is a critical gateway for pilgrims and tourists visiting the renowned Peetambara Peeth and Datia Palace. The airport infrastructure includes a newly recarpeted runway, apron bays, ATC tower, and a fire station, alongside sustainability measures like rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient lighting systems. The operationalisation of Satna and Datia Airports is expected to yield substantial economic and social benefits, providing improved connectivity, creating direct and indirect employment, and catalysing the growth of related sectors such as hospitality, retail, education, and healthcare. These projects are a testimony to the government's unwavering dedication to transforming the aviation landscape in India and making development reach the last mile. The inauguration events also witnessed the august presence of the Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Mangubhai C Patel, the Chief Minister, Mohan Yadav, the Deputy Chief Ministers, Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda, the MoCA Secretary, Samir Kumar Sinha, and the AAI Chairman, Vipin Kumar, along with other senior dignitaries and public representatives.
