Anubrata skips cop summons again; lawyer claims ‘AI plot'
1 2 Suri: Trinamool's Birbhum strongman Anubrata Mondal skipped police summons for a second consecutive day on Sunday. Instead, his lawyer met the investigating officer with a detailed medical report explaining his absence. Mondal has reportedly been advised bed rest for five days. Amid this, TMC suspended the party's Chatra Parishad president Bikramjit Shaw, a Mondal confidante, for six years for attacking Bolpur IC Liton Halder in a now-deleted social media post. Mondal's lawyers and aides, however, cited a "conspiracy" involving "AI" to explain the four-minute purported conversation with Halder, which was littered with threats and abuses directed not only at the officer but also at his wife and mother. Prodded by the party, Mondal has already tendered an "unconditional apology" for his comments. In his tirade, Shaw even dared the IC to act against him. Hurling allegations against the police officer, Shaw claimed that Halder's "illegal acts" will be "punished by the people of Birbhum". Shaw took down his post a little later but TMCP state president Trinankur Bhattacharya summarily suspended him, saying his post was "unacceptable" and brought "disrepute to the party". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Recently. I Am Famous Undo Mondal's lawyer Bipad Taran Bhattacharya claimed that he was a "victim of conspiracy", refusing to elaborate citing the ongoing probe. Mondal was first summoned to the Bolpur SDPO on Saturday, failing which he was served a second summons, asking him to present himself by 11am on Sunday. He failed that, too. Around the same time, Bhattacharya reached the police station. Emerging out, Bhattacharya, who was initially very reluctant to respond to reporters' queries, said: "He (Mondal) is very ill." "Anubrata Mondal is a victim of conspiracy. We have faith in law, judiciary, courts and the administration. We have faith in people. Beyond that, I will not say a word," the lawyer said. Asked repeatedly if Mondal would move for anticipatory bail, he said: "I will not speak on it since the matter is sub judice." The fact that Mondal may take a conspiracy alibi became apparent on Sunday morning when a local TMC neta, Debabrata Sarkar, who went to the Bolpur SDPO, told reporters while stepping out that "AI has been used to doctor the audio tape". Sarkar did not elaborate and only said, "He (Mondal) is ill. He is at home." Asked repeatedly whether Mondal told police that AI has been used to doctor the audio, Sarkar responded curtly: "Ask police. I am not here to speak with the media. Mondal will do what the party says. The party will speak on it."

Wall Street slides as Trump's tariff threats triggers market uncertainty
U.S. stocks fell on Friday, notching a weekly loss, after President Donald Trump recommended 50% tariffs on European goods, reopening a new front in global trade tensions and unleashing a fresh wave of market uncertainty .

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' co-star Ridhi Dogra didn't track her money until divorce forced her to. Actress shares rule No. 1 for financial freedom
Even fame and success don't shield a person from making financial missteps . Acclaimed actress Ridhi Dogra , known for her performance in the psychological thriller Asur, recently spoke about a time in her life when she completely neglected her financial well-being. During her marriage to actor Raquesh Bapat, her co-star from the television series 'Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?' Dogra admitted she lost track of her own money matters. While appearing on Yuvva, Ridhi shared how, throughout her marriage, she believed everything was under control. She assumed that managing expenses was a shared responsibility between her and her then-husband. This sense of comfort, however, led her to stop monitoring her personal finances. Over time, she found herself uncertain about where her money had gone — a realization that served as a wake-up call. Accepting responsibility, Ridhi eventually took charge of her financial life. She hired a female investment advisor , someone she could trust and speak to openly. Determined to learn, she asked her advisor the same questions multiple times until she fully understood. There was no room for embarrassment — only a strong desire to regain control over her future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's Hard To Believe But Every Guy Had A Crush On Her In The 90s I Am Famous Undo Agencies Ridhi emphasized that it's perfectly normal to feel lost at the beginning, but once a person decides to be financially independent, they must be fearless in seeking clarity. She encouraged others to keep asking questions until every doubt is addressed. For her, this wasn't just about money — it was a path to empowerment. Living alone, once unfamiliar and daunting, became a source of strength and self-discovery. Following her divorce in 2019, Ridhi faced the challenge of solitude for the first time. In a previous interview with ETimes, she recalled how living alone was a completely new experience. Although married, she had always been surrounded by friends, loved ones, and even pets. After the separation, she was suddenly on her own, and that solitude, she said, quietly prepared her for the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown that followed. Despite the end of her marriage, she continues to maintain a respectful and amicable relationship with Raquesh. Their journey, which began in 2010 on the sets of 'Maryada', saw them marry in 2011 and part ways eight years later. Ridhi Dogra, now focused on self-love, growth, and financial stability, was last seen in the family drama 'Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs.' The show, also featuring The Lunchbox star Nimrat Kaur, premiered on Jio HotStar on May 2, 2025, marking another milestone in Ridhi's evolving personal and professional journey.
