Laxman urges stronger cyber security measures amid surge in online frauds
Hyderabad: On Monday, Rajya Sabha MP Dr K Laxman raised concerns about the growing threat of cyber fraud and digital financial crimes in India, urging decisive action to enhance the country's cybersecurity infrastructure. He highlighted that with India's rapid shift towards digital banking and UPI-based transactions under the Digital India initiative, citizens—especially senior citizens and those residing in semi-urban and rural areas—are becoming increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated online scams. Dr Laxman acknowledged the crucial role of the government, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and CERT-In in issuing timely advisories and establishing protective measures. He praised awareness campaigns such as the Cyber Jaagrukta Abhiyan, which aim to educate citizens on cyber threats. However, despite these initiatives, Dr Laxman stressed the need for further action. He urged the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Electronics and IT, and other relevant agencies to enhance enforcement capabilities, improve rapid-response systems, and promote digital literacy at the grassroots level. He pointed out that fraudsters often exploit digital ignorance and advocated for state governments to establish specialised cybercrime cells staffed with trained law enforcement personnel. 'The digital revolution must not become a breeding ground for fear,' Dr Laxman asserted. 'People should feel secure while embracing online services. This requires robust security measures, quick resolution of issues, and widespread education.'

Sunil Lahri was to play Shatrughna in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan, but a twist of fate made him Lakshman, here's the untold story
As the buzz grows around Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming ₹4000-crore Ramayana starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, many fans are reminiscing about the original classic—Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan. Arun Govil as Ram, Deepika Chikhalia as Sita, and Sunil Lahri as the fiery, loyal Laxman left a mark so deep, it still feels unmatched. But did you know that Sunil Lahri was never the original choice for Laxman? He was supposed to play Shatrughan. How did Sunil Lahri end up as Laxman? In an interview with Laughing Colours, Sunil Lahri revealed that during the auditions for the show, he was initially selected for the role of Shatrughan. He shared, 'I was selected for Shatrughan. However, I also said that if I do it, it will be the role of Laxman. I neither wanted to play Ram nor Shatrughan nor Bharat.' But at that point, the role of Laxman had already been given to actor Shashi Puri. Sunil recalls the moment that changed everything. One day, while crossing the road after a shoot at Nagi Villa, a car almost hit him and braked sharply. It turned out to be Ramanand Sagar himself. Sagar called him to the office later and said, 'You wanted to play the role of Laxman, so you do that role. I want you to do it.' Sunil, taken aback, requested two days to think. What happened to the original Laxman? Sunil then called Shashi Puri, who was originally cast as Laxman and had already shot several episodes. Shashi, unsure about the show's future, told him, 'You do this role because I'm leaving.' This handover sealed the deal. Sunil accepted the offer, and what followed was the most iconic role of his career. From a reluctant audition to nearly missing the part, Sunil Lahri's journey to becoming Laxman was pure serendipity. And while Ravi Dubey is all set to bring Laxman to life again in the 2025 version, it's safe to say, Sunil Lahri's Laxman still lives in every Indian household.
