The new rule on withdrawing provident fund set by Government made thousands of garment factory workers angry in Bengaluru. They came out protesting in wild way by throwing stones at police station and burned several public vehicles creating big chaos.
The protest was led by none and workers went out of control and blocked highway traffic which led to huge traffic jams in city. Police were finally able to bring the mobs under control after using tear gas and firing in air. The protests led to attacks at Jalahalli cross, electronic city, Bannerghatta and also at Hosur road highway.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley brought a plan proposal that doesnot allow employees to withdraw employers share in Employee provident fund until they were at their age of 58 years, though they can withdraw their own share deposit at any time. -

Pawan Kalyan’s answer at a recent interview about his new avatar of turning a story and screen writer for ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ just for earning money has made Fans and common audience to remain in a dire shock. Yes, Pawan is passing through a weak financial phase unable to meet his monthly maintenance expenses. We have heard in enough occasions on how Pawan used to spend his money like water helping his friends and family members. All this would have pushed Pawan into a piteous situation.
An awakened Pawan Kalyan is now running behind money. He is reported to have pocketed Rs.20 Crores from ‘Sardar Gabbar Singh’ by becoming a production partner with friend Sharat Marar. As per fresh updates, Pawan will continue and stick to same job for rest of his upcoming movies. For SJ Suriya directing AM Rathnam flick or Trivikram directorial with Haarika- Hassine Creations project or even for Dasari Narayana Rao’s new venture, Pawan and Sharat Marar are going to be the production partners.
Irrespective of the commercial verdict for these future movies, Pawan Kalyan will take home a very big amount to free his money centered tensions. Hopefully, he will continue only as a hero, production partner and do not finger in story, script or direction for better Box Office results.

Pratyusha suicide Latest news
Hours after popular television actress Pratyusha Banerjee committed suicide on April 1, Friday, several shocking speculations started making rounds in B-town. Not only was Pratyusha’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh’s name all over tabloids and news channels but so was his former girlfriend, Saloni Sharma’s.
The whirlwind of debate that Pratyusha’s suicide caused, took Saloni Sharma along with it. Rahul Raj Singh’s former girlfriend Saloni Sharma got broadly accused for causing a rift between Rahul and Pratyusha. Now after a long time, Saloni has broken her silence over the issue.
In her interview to a daily, Saloni Sharma admits that she did assault Pratyusha and Rahul Raj Singh in February but it was a reaction from her side after the two physically assaulted her.
In her account, Saloni mentions visiting Rahul at his Kandivli flat on 11th February, where he was living with Pratyusha, to ask for her pending money. Upon arriving at the appartment, Pratyusha and Rahul assaulted Saloni before kicking her out of the flat. This led to another episode of outburst below Rahul’s flat, where Saloni humiliated the two before lodging a complaint of ‘assault and cheating’ against Rahul and Pratyusha with the Bangur Nagar police station.
However, later Rahul and Pratyusha requested Saloni to withdraw the charges against them. To avoid media attention, she was also advised by the Bangur Nagar police officers, who are currently handling Pratyusha’s suicide case, to take her complaint back, upon which, Saloni withdrew her complaint.
In 2011, Saloni came to Mumbai from Kolkata and met Rahul, who had an event management company and wanted Saloni to come on board. Later, the two also launched another company. The two who started out as business partners, later started dating each other. Over the years, Saloni invested over Rs 30 lakh in the business, which included her own earnings and her father’s. After coming face front about Rahul’s relationship with Pratyusha, Saloni and he had a fall out after which she quit the company. Saloni also claims that Rahul hasn’t yet paid her the money he owes her.
Saloni also reveals how she called up the police the very next day of Pratyusha’s death to record her statement and provide all kind of help from her side. Rahul’s former girlfriend states that the reason why she kept quiet for so long is because she didn’t want to take advantage of someone’s death to seek publicity. But since people who don’t even know her or have never met her are making absurd comments about her by calling her “that woman”, Saloni says she was forced to break her silence on the issue.
Saloni is also in her very right mind to fight back the “baseless allegations” and file defamation cause against those who accused her of driving a rift between Rahul and Pratyusha and leading the latter to her death.
Saloni also claims that Rahul, who was in a relationship with her for 5 years, started dating Pratyusha Banerjee without her knowledge. She was also unaware about his previous marriage.
Pratyusha Banerjee, better known as Anandi for her role in popular TV serial Balika Vadhu, was found dead in her suburban home on April 1, Friday at around 5 pm. Her body was found hanging from the fan with a dupatta by Pratyusha’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh and their cook.
Rahul informed the police and her uncle in Borivali about the death at around 6.30 pm. She was declared dead at Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri (west) late on Friday evening.
Rahul, who was booked by the Bangur Nagar Police for abetting Pratyusha’s suicide, got some relief from Bombay High Court on April 12. The High Court, which heard Rahul’s pre-arrest bail plea, retrained the police from arresting him on a surety of Rs. 30,000 and directed him to attend the police station everyday till April 18.
After the 24-year-old ‘Balika Vadhu’ actress allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in her flat in suburban Goregaon on April 1, a case under Sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 504, 506 (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC was registered against Rahul on April 3 following a complaint lodged by the actress’ parents.

MOVIE:Police
RATING:
2/5
Cast: Vijay, Samantha, Amy Jackson, Radhika and Others
Directed by: Atlee
Produced by: Thanu
Banner: Sri Venkateswara Creations
Music by: GV Prakash Kumar
Release Date: 2016-04-15
Police Movie Review
Police is the Telugu dubbed version of Tamil Superstar Vijay's Theri. Directed by Atlee, this film is marketed by Dil Raju in Telugu states.
What is it about?
DCP Vijay Kumar (Vijay) kills the son of a politician as he commits a brutal crime. The politician comes back for revenge and kills Vijay's wife (Samantha) and his mother (Radhika). On his wife's last wish Vijay leaves his job and go to Kerala to take care of his daughter. However he couldn't hide for long. The politician comes to know about Vijay's whereabouts and comes back to have his revenge. Vijay has to put an end to this to live a peaceful life.
Performances:
Vijay is very impressive as the cop who does his duty on his own terms. There are quite a few emotional moments in the film where Vijay had to shed tears. He did well. Samantha is good and Amy is alright in a limited role. Radhika is natural. Prabhu is decent. Rajendran is funny at times. Mahendran's expressions are menacing.
Technicalities:
Atlee banked upon an age old script which turned out to be biggest drawback for this film. There are few moments where we get to see the flashes of brilliance from Atlee but the film falls flat on a whole.
Songs are not good. Background score is good in emotional scenes and over the top in action sequences. Cinematography is good. Editing could have been a lot better.
Thumbs Up:
Interval scene
Baby Nainika
Thumbs Down:
Routine Story
Uninteresting screenplay
Predictable
Poor Climax
Lengthy
Analysis:
Police is a formulaic film with revenge template. You can almost guess everything beforehand. There is no novelty in terms of any element in the film. Even the daughter and father relation reminds us of Ajith Kumar, Gautham Menon's Yenthavadu Gani. Everything about the film is cliched and beaten to death.
Interval block is pretty impressive. The movie totally goes off track after the death of Samantha character. Climax portions are outright silly. The run time of the film will put your patience to test. You will literally pray for the titles to rollover or simply walk out of it. Police is a boring revenge drama that has high doses of emotion.
Director wasted a lot of time on buildup shots and hero elevations that he had to fast forward the plot during the final scenes. This film may appeal to Vijay fans as the director has penned few scenes exclusively for them. There is nothing special about the film except for adorable baby Nainika's performance.
Verdict: This Police lacks Fizz.

MOVIE:Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam
RATING:
3.25/5
Cast: Vishnu Manchu, Raj Tarun, Sonarika,Hebah Patel, Rajendra Prasad and Others
Directed by: G. Nageswara Reddy
Produced by: Rama Brahmam Sunkara
Banner: AK Entertainments

Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam Movie Review
Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam is a remake of super hit Punjabi comedy. It is about the confusion that two friends create in order to impress their lovers. ERAR has a plot that is similar to many confusion comedies that we have seen in the past. However the comedy works and keeps us entertained throughout the film.
What is it about?
Arjun (Vishnu) falls in love with Neelaveni (Sonarika), who wants to marry an orphan. Arjun lies that he is an orphan and marries her. Neelavani rents an upper portion in a lawyer's (Rajendra Prasad) house. He is none other than Arjun's father. Arjun tries to save his marriage by introducing his friend Ashwin (Raj Tarun) to his father as Neelaveni's husband. Meanwhile Ashwin had to lie to his girlfriend Supriya (Hebah) and her brother about his background. The confusion plot thickens after that.
Performances:
Vishnu Manchu has always excelled in comedy entertainers. Comedy is his forte and he proves it yet again with ERAR. Vishnu is certainly at home in this film. Raj Tarun is as natural as always. In his first multi-starrer, Raj has complemented Vishnu and the chemistry between these two actors is one of the biggest plus points. Sonarika and Hebah's oozing oomph will please the masses. Rajendra Prasad is superb in the father role. Ravibabu is alright. Satya Krishna is good. Supreeth and Abhimayu Singh are their usual self. Sunil did a special appearance in the introduction song.
Technicalities:
G. Nageswara Reddy is one of the directors who can assure you of a decent product if he has a good enough script on hands. Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam is a paisa vasool entertainer that will offer some genuine laughs. Nageswara Reddy made complete use of the competent star cast. There are some unavoidable cliches but nonetheless ERAR is entertaining on a whole.
Dialogues are witty. Songs will appeal to the masses. Sai Karthik's background score is fine too. Cinematography is neat. Editor did well to keep it simple and crisp. Production values are impressive.
Thumbs Up:
Vishnu-Raj Tarun's Chemistry
Rib-tickling Comedy
Witty Dialogues
Sonarika, Hebah's Glam Show
Thumbs Down:
Routine Story
Cliched moments
Analysis:
Confusion dramas like these are not new to our audience. The story of ERAR might not be out-of-the-box one but it's the treatment that changed the course and made the film complete entertainer. Right from the word go, the movie tries to tickle the funnybones of viewers. There are several laugh-out-loud moments that will definitely strike a chord with the mass audience. The comedy gets better as the story moves forward. Interval block is hilarious to the core.
Second half follows the formula and offers passable entertainment all the way. You may easily watch this film once for its fun moments and the performances from the main characters. Some comedy parts lacked the punch, but the film gets back on track with a hilarious scene whenever it goes off the mark for a while.
Barring few cliched moments and double entendres, ERAR is a paisa vasool comedy with hilarious moments and genuinely funny dialogues. This might work well with B and C centres. Audiences who love to watch comedies will surely like this fun-tastic confusion drama.
Verdict: Navvinche Rakam

After a shocking number of couples heading towards split in Bollywood, there seems to be another one on its way, if rumors are anything to go by.
Bollywood star actor Saif Ali Khan's sister Soha Ali Khan married her boyfriend Kunal Khemu in early 2015. Now rumors are making rounds that Soha is not ready to start a family while Kunal wants to. This happens to be the reason for minor scuffles between them and they turned to fights more recently.
Soha wants to do two films before starting a family or to become a mother of child, but Kunal is heard to be persistent on his version. His parents too were keen to see that their son and daughter in law turn parents soon.
Nobody knows if these are just rumors and cooked up stories, but if anything is real in it, this is not a problem that this matured couple cannot handle and they can manage it by themselves before giving wrong signals about their relationship.

The US government is believed to have received about 250,000 petitions for H-1B visas - the most sought after American work visas -- with a majority of them being from either Indian companies or having huge footprint in India.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services yesterday said it has reached the Congressional mandated cap for H-1B visas in the general category and also the 20,000 for those who completed higher education from inside the US in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects.
USCIS did not give the number of H-1B petitions it received since April 1, when it started accepting applications for this most coveted visa for the fiscal year 2017 beginning October 1, this year. But, it says the successful petitions would be determined by a computerised draw of lots.
"We had 230,000 H-1B visa petitions last year. I think, this year it is going to be higher. We think 250,000 H-1B petitions were filed this year," Bill Stock, incoming president of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and a founding partner of Klasko Immigration Law Partners told PTI in an interview.
Stock's estimates are based on his experience and interaction with lawyers and those groups who mostly file H-1B visas. This is fourth consecutive year that the Congressional mandated cap has been reached in the first five days of the filing. "Unless the economy changes again, we would continue to see it," he said.
Majority of these estimated 250,000 H-1B visa applications are "certainly" either by companies that have Indian owner like TCS or companies that have substantial operations or development centres in India like IBM, Stock said in response to a question.
The recent increase on certain category of H-1B visas, he said, "may have had a little impact" on Indian companies. "But I think their business so much depends on H-1B and being able to send people on projects, they (Indian companies) are going to pay fees on those petitions," Stock said. President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Victor Nieblas Pradis said the "avalanche" of petitions for H-1B visas mean that USCIS will once again randomly determine which of those petitions will actually be considered for one of the 85,000 available visas.
Each petition not selected is a business need unfulfilled and a growth opportunity that is delayed or thwarted.
"However, artificial limits established more than a generation ago are again hobbling the economic potential of this great nation," Mr Pradis said, calling for lifting this visa cap.
"Why do we continue to artificially limit this program? In a reasonable system, market demand should factor into how many business visas are granted, and indeed, demand for H-1B visas slowed when the economy took a downturn. But each year that we cap these visas when demand outweighs supply, all we're doing is creating obstacles to economic growth. We're losing out on shared prosperity for no good reason," he said in a statement.
The US is one of the most important economies in the world, but its full potential is going unrealised, he said.
"We live in a wireless world, but our visa system is a relic from the days of the dial-up modem. It's long past time for Congress to lead on this issue and reform the H-1B program in a way that addresses the needs of American businesses, US workers and our economy. Congress must bring our immigration system out of the last century and into this one," Mr Pradis said.
Uyyala Jampala fame Avika Gor popularly known as Chinnari Pellikooturu is keeping the gossip columns busy these days.
As per the buzz from Bollywood gossipers of Bollywood, Avika is currently dating television actor Manish Raisinghani, her co-star from soap opera Sasural Simar Ka.
Avika has recently turned 18 and the actor is 36 years old, means he is exactly double her age. Gossip columnists claim that they got concrete info about their affair from close circles. Avika and Manish aren’t willing to come out in open for personal reasons, they added.
Avika Gor is continuing to act in television serials even after striking gold as a heroine in Tollywood. Avika only acts on her terms and doesn’t sign up movies for those who don’t agree to her demands.
Avika who has recently debuted in Sandalwood is making her debut in Tamil cinema with GV Prakash Kumar’s Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru.
No heroine has been finalized for Nandamuri Balakrishna's 100th movie yet. The first choice is Nayanathara. But the actress is said to have told her inability to adjust dates to this movie.
So director Krish has approached several other leading women of Tollywood but none of them are showing interest.
Titled "Gauthami Putrasatakarni", the movie tells the heroic feats of the great Sathavahana ruler. Hence Nandamuri Balakrishna is excited to enact the royal king's role.
But there is reason for big heroines not coming forward to act in this film. They have to play the role of a wife to Balakrishna with little scope for glamour or duets. Moreover, she will also have two kids in the film.
So many heroines like Anjali and Tamannah have reportedly denied to do this movie. On the other hand, Anushka is busy with the shooting of "Baahubali 2". So Krish is looking for ideal female lead to act opposite Balakrishna.
The US received over 2,36,000 H-1B petitions in just five days of opening up the process earlier this month for the most sought-after work visa for IT professionals, including from India, and has completed the computerised draw of lots.
This is more than thrice the Congressionally-mandated cap of 65,000 in the general category for the work visas for highly-skilled workers in the general category for Financial Year 2017.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Tuesday announced it also received more than the limit of 20,000 H-1B petitions by those foreign students who completed their higher studies from a US academic institute in subjects if science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
USCIS received over 2,36,000 H-1B petitions during the filing period, which began on April 1, including petitions filed for the advanced degree exemption, a media statement said.
It said it has completed the computerised draw of lots that would determine the successful applicants.
On April 9, USCIS used a computer-generated random selection process, or lottery, to select enough petitions to meet the 65,000 general-category cap and the 20,000 cap under the advanced degree exemption, also known as the master's cap.
The agency conducted the selection process for the advanced degree exemption first. All unselected advanced degree petitions then became part of the random selection process for the 65,000 limit, it added.
USCIS will reject and return all unselected petitions with their filing fees, unless the petition is found to be a duplicate filing, it said.
As announced on March 16, 2016, USCIS will begin premium processing for H-1B cap cases no later than May 16.
It would continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.
H-1B visa, popular among Indian techies, is used by American companies to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialised knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming. (PTI)

What does the future hold for Kapu patriarch Mudragada Padmanabham? Despite his frequent fasts and regular agitations, he appears to be losing steam. Despite Congress background and despite tacit support of YSRCP, he is ploughing a lonely furrow. His agitation without the direct support of any party could gradually weaken him and make the Kapus move away from him.
Wily Chandrababu is doing everything he can to wean away the Kapus from Mudragada. He had set up Kapu Corporation and has been offering financial assistance. He is also moving closer to giving reservations, though it is not clear when the reservations actually come. More than this, Chandrababu is also luring Kapu leaders from the YSRCP. Jyothula Nehru's re-entry into TDP would mean end of Mudragada's influence in East Godavari district.
The only option before Mudragada now is to join the YSRCP, as he is already branded as a YSRCP sympathiser. This will give him a party backing, while the YSRCP will get a boost. If he demands reservations as a YSRCP leader, it could benefit both him and the party.
Mudragada is already facing allegations that he has taken the Kapu stir to the peaks and then dumped it. How he will handle these allegations and secure his political future in the days to come will decide the future of the Kapu stir uf

Often, amateur enthusiasts try out various risky stunts which are being aired on several reality shows despite warnings. In some cases, these stunts turn fatal. In one such incident, a 19-year-old teenager named Mohammed Jalaluddin from Hyderabad lost his life while recreating a risky stunt he saw on a popular TV reality show.
Jalaluddin, an intermediate student and a resident of Falaknuma in Old City, wanted to enter the popular TV reality show 'India's got talent' and in the process, he was performing several risky fire stunts. He first consumed kerosene and spewed fire from his mouth, while a couple of his friends were recording his stunts on their mobile phones.
Jalaluddin and his friends then went atop a nearby hill to perform another death defying stunt. The victim poured kerosene on his T-shirt and lit it. However, Jalaluddin could not remove the T-shirt in time and sustained more than 60% burns.
In his dying declaration, Jalaluddin said that no one is responsible for the incident as he voluntarily did it to enter into the reality show.
