Actor Rhea Chakraborty appears before ED in money laundering case

  

Actor Rhea Chakraborty, accused of

abetting suicide of filmstar Sushant Singh Rajput, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Friday in connection with the money laundering case lodged by it.

The ED had summoned Rhea Chakraborty for questioning on Friday (August 7), but she had requested the agency to postpone recording of her statement pending hearing of her plea filed in the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the case lodged by the Bihar police to Mumbai.

However, the ED rejected her request.

"In view of the fact that the ED has informed the media that the request to postpone her attendance is rejected, Rhea has appeared before the ED office," her advocate Satish Maneshinde said.

The advocate, in a statement, added that Rhea Chakraborty (28), Rajput's girlfriend, is a law-abiding citizen and would cooperate with the probe.

Rajput (34) was found hanging on June 14 at his residence in suburban Mumbai.

Apple Inc adds thrust to its India momentum with a brand new line-up

Image
   In the last few years, if strong headwinds kept Apple’s India business primarily confined to its smartphone portfolio, it has surely weathered the storm now. And for 2021, the Cupertino-headquartered firm has placed its India bet upfront. With sales of its second largest selling product —Macs - on fire, the consumer tech giant has unveiled a new set of offerings to encash on consumers’ growing appetite for premium computers, tablets and over-the-top content. In its first major announcement for the year, Apple Chief Executive Officer (CEO)  Tim Cook  unveiled a range of products like iMac, iPad Pro,  Apple TV  4K, AirTag and iPhone 12 in a new colour. Unlike earlier, when Indian consumers would have to wait longer for Apple’s new flagships, this time, the firm is bringing the entire range to the local market simultaneously with 29 other lead­ing markets of the company. The new iMac, two iPads and iPhone 12 and 12 Mini will be open for ordering starting Ap...

Gupta further asserted that global comparisons, in this regard, should be done only on equitable parameters taking, into account various variables and future prospects.

Tech start-ups stressed in the time of Covid-19, but the big guys rake in

Image
Countries around the world have been announcing economic relief measures to help the corporate sector tide over the devastating impact the pandemic has had on business. However, an analysis of government initiatives across the globe shows that there is hardly any benefit for the tech sector, which some argue has been less hit relatively. The strain is being felt alike in the United States's Silicon Valley and India’s tech ecosystem, which is largely based in Bengaluru and the National Capital Region (NCR). India’s Rs 1.7 trillion-rupee package leaves out any benefit for tech start-ups, save for a provision under which the government will contribute towards a company's share of employee provident fund if it has a staff strength of less than 100, of which 90 per cent are earning less than Rs 15,000. Most don’t make the cut. And in the US, the $377 billion loans (part of a $2-trillion relief plan) allocated to small businesses that employ less than 500 people, wi...
