ED Tightens Noose On P Chidambaram’s Son, Seeks Info. From 14 Countries For Shoddy Financial Deal

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sought information from 14 countries about the transactions of companies allegedly linked to former finance minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram. The government agency that investigates financial frauds and misdoings, has revealed of seeking information from UK, UAE, South Africa, the US, Greece, Spain, Switzerland, France, Malaysia, Singapore, British Virgin Islands and Sri Lanka. The information is regarding the assets and business transactions of Advantage Strategic, Sequoia, WestBridge and other firms allegedly linked to Karti, reported Times of India.

Chidambaram alleges vendetta politics
On ED’s attempt to find out the overseas financial transactions of Karti, ED sources revealed that the agency will soon question Karti. However, Karti told Times of India that he has not broken any law and everything is properly kept on record books. While, former finance minister P Chidambaram claims that the BJP is hatching a plan and victimising his son.

Benami assets unearthed
The New Indian Express conducted an investigation and found that Karti owns benami assets across the world. Apparently, Advantage Strategic holds 90,000 shares out of the 1.5 lakh equity shares of Vasan Eye Care. The firm procured the shares at a throwaway price of Rs 100 per share. However, the report states, that it actually paid only one-third, or Rs 33 per share.

Some of the other noticeable transactions includes

The company had a joint venture with Philippine companies such as SM Arena Complex Corporation, Sports Entertainment Events Management Inc.
Karti’s Singapore Company also had bought a residential flat in Malaysia worth 1.9 million Malaysian Ringgits. It also had many financial transactions with many Malaysian companies. Malaysia is the headquarters of Maxis which acquired Aircel in an alleged deal in 2006.

The Logical Indian requests the Indian investigative agencies to conduct a transparent investigation into the alleged deals and punish according to appropriate laws if found guilty.

If Mischief Can Save The World From Melancholy, Sometimes It’s Good To Be Bad

Propelled by

&flix

The new generation of people have indeed put on their superhero cape and are breaking rules to save the world from shrinking into melancholy. But anyone who breaks the norm, sets the rulebook on fire comes off as the ‘bad guy’. However, in all honesty, isn’t it “good to be bad sometimes”?

It would be so tedious to bottle ourselves into virtues that have been impressed upon us since childhood, teaching us to see good from bad. Haven’t we all broken the rules to taste a little freedom? There have been days when we have lied at home to experience how beautiful the city streets look at night. We have broken the rules to include and be inclusive of people who are different from us. And also pushed the boundaries even if that meant breaking bad.

While it is convenient to play by the book, there is no fun in it. Take the anti-hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe “Venom”, the role of the protagonist comes off as quite iconic in this regard. Being a sinister parasite, he teams up with his host to wage a war against his own kind to stand for what’s right.

Mischief you call it? Well, it’s one trait that emerges when least expected not just in the character of Venom but quite honestly in all of us. To get this aspect out there to the young and carefree lot, &flix has come up with a quirky rap that plays on repeat in the mind. It whips up many unconventionally relatable idiosyncrasies of ‘the mistaken supervillain’ who we can’t help, but fall in love because in spirit, aren’t we all just the same?

‘Venom’ is an alien character that does not qualify as “all things nice”. This Marvel film that has concerned itself with the theme of “the world has enough superheroes” sets a great paradigm shift from the ideal superhero narrative and gives its viewers the ultimate daunting anti-hero. Celebrating the evil inside everyone, graffiti artists have painted the walls in Mumbai & Chennai taking inspiration from #VenomInMyVeins. Through this, the aim is to inspire the audience to embrace their inner self and celebrate the dark side inside them.

It’s not all that necessary to detach oneself from your imperfections to be a hero. Let’s face the fact that it’s about time we get more real and relatable saga of “save the world”. Because after all, you don’t have to be quintessential to pull off a “superhero”. You can be just like #Venom.

You can watch the World TV Premiere of Venom on 26th of May 2019 at 1 PM and 9 PM only on &flix.
