Maan Proposes Geet Disposes is one of the beautifully written story. Sad it's incomplete.

I was actually waiting for Geet's reaction to Maan's letter where he mentions all about his mother and sisters and how flawed all are. But that never came. :-/ :-/

Megastar Chiranjeevi has shocked thousands of his by calling them "Stupid fellows". The video of the actor mouthing these insulting words has gone viral on YouTube and Facebook. What's more, the incident happened during the audio launch of his son Ram Charan's upcoming movie Bruce Lee, also starring Rakul Preet Singh. Apparently, Chiranjeevi lost his cool outside the audio launch venue, seeing so many fans trying to trouble him.

Fans are shocked watching this behaviour of Chiranjeevi towards his fans, who were not really bothering him but simply taking selfies. The actor who is also a politician owes both his careers to his fans and followers. Normally Chiru is known to be polite with fans, but something must've irked him at the audio launch of Bruce Lee that he reacted like that

A torrid love affair between two employees resulted in the international scrutiny of GVK Biosciences and a ban on marketing of around 700 generic drugs tested by the facility.

The employee, in love with a junior, left with her in 2011, prompting the girl's parents to approach the police. As a result, GVK Biosciences " one of the largest Contract Research Organisations based in Hyderabad " dismissed the employee.

The police, during the investigation, went through the employee's emails and found that he had written to every major drug regulatory authority in the world raising doubts about the quality of clinical research conducted at GVK Biosciences. The disgruntled employee's emails served their intended purpose, at least for him.

International medicine agencies sought to inspect GVK Biosciences' Hyderabad facility and alleged manipulation of data by the organisation. The European Union banned 700 drugs tested by GVK Biosciences in July this year after which the Indian government suspended the EU Free Trade Agreement (EU FTA) talks that were to resume in August after a two-year break.

An affair gone awry

A GVK Biosciences spokesperson, in a written statement to The Hindu, confirmed the developments. "Based on the anonymous emails received, a joint inspection was triggered by various International Regulatory Authorities at GVK Biosciences, Hyderabad, Clinical Unit between June 25 and July 4, 2012.

"It was found that the employee, though married and blessed with two children, had an illegitimate affair. He resigned from GVK Biosciences in September 2011 to sort out/resolve this issue but started blaming GVK Biosciences for his personal issue," said Dorothy Paul, the company's spokesperson.

The employee did not respond to email queries sent by The Hindu on October 6.

Between January and October 2013, the whistle-blower sent 15 emails to the United States Food & Drug Administration (USFDA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) and the National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM), requesting them to audit the facility. The emails have been seen by The Hindu.

"After thorough internal investigations on the anonymous emails, GVK Biosciences filed a police complaint," added the spokesperson. Citing his reasons for the revelations in one of the 15 emails to USFDA, the employee wrote, "cruel politics of selfish senior employees" prompted him to complain against GVK Biosciences.

Reacting to the ban by European drug regulators, the Commerce Ministry said in a release that it was "disappointed by and concerned" at the ban on "one of the flagship sectors of India", as the story snowballed into the latest setback to the reputation of India-made generic drugs.

The ban had come in the backdrop of increasing tensions, with multinational pharmaceutical companies accusing India of having a hostile intellectual property climate. The Indian generic drug-makers had countered by accusing big pharma of using patents as an excuse to keep affordable Indian medicines from the access of poor patients.

"The IPA is deeply concerned about the damage it has caused to the reputation of the Indian pharmaceutical industry as a reliable supplier of safe, effective and quality medicine at very competitive prices to the EU Member States and their people. The banning of these 700 drugs merely on a suspicion of "manipulation" of ECGs of healthy volunteers and without sufficient evidence was uncalled for. The inspector had erred, yet the Agency did not intervene, in spite of the error being brought to its notice by the government. It only leaves doubt about its intention," said D.G. Shah, secretary-general of Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA), a lobby of domestic drug-makers.

G.N. Singh, Drug Controller-General of India (DCGI), confirmed that he knew about the whistle-blower. "We do not know why the whistle-blower " if that was his intention " did not approach the Indian regulators first. Having said that, one must understand that there is a bigger game being played out here. I have repeatedly stated that multinational pharmaceutical companies constantly use incidents like this to bring disrepute to Indian generic drug makers," he said.

A hardcore woman Maoist Sarada Sabar (38) alias Sukumari who had gone underground since 2012 surrendered in Rayagada district of Odisha on Thursday before the local Superintendent of Police (SP) K. Siva Subramani.

Earlier she was a key armed cadre of Bansadhara Division of outlawed CPI (Maoist) organisation while it was being led by Sabyasachi Panda, Uday and Azad. Several cases related to Maoist violence were pending against this woman who hailed from Pataguda village under Padmapur police station in Rayagada district. Deteriorating health condition, threat of exchange of fire with security forces, frustration towards violent activities and hardship had prompted her to return back to her village in 2012. She was also panicky of getting arrested by police for her past Maoist activity. So, to evade arrest she had preferred to escape to Bengaluru to go underground. Finally she had decided to return back to her home to lead normal life. So, she decided to surrender.

According to police sources, she had been dragged into the violent organisation because of her first marriage. At the age of 18 years she had got married to one Prahlad Sabar. After three months of marriage, Prahlad had got influenced by Sabyasachi aand had joined the Maoist organisation. After two years Prahlad had persuaded Sarada to become a Maoist cadre. Prahlad had been killed in an accidental firing by his naxalite colleague whiel they were involved in the murder of a contractor named Madhav Sabar at Narayanpur in Gajapati district. Later she had got married to a Maoist named Prakash Kimbaka. Prakash had later surrendered before police. Sarada had married one Suku Sabar of Pataguda after that. She continues with this third marriage and wants to lead normal life again. According to the Rayagada SP, she would be rehabilitated as per norms of state government for surrendering naxalites.
