Piyush Jain Kanpur raid: Cash, Gold & Silver worth over 284 Crore Found till now

Piyush Jain Kanpur raid

Kanpur/New Delhi: A Kanpur court sentenced businessman Piyush Jain to 14 days in judicial jail on Monday after raids at his home yielded a substantial sum of undeclared money, gold, and sandalwood.

Raids are presently underway at the residence and facilities of Kanpur-based perfume manufacturer Piyush Jain, in what has been dubbed India’s largest tax sweep.

The IT sleuths were able to retrieve an amount of roughly Rs 194.45 crores in cash during searches at Odochem Industries’ residential/factory premises in Kannauj, according to the DGGI.

In addition, about 23 kilograms of gold and vast amounts of unaccounted raw materials used in the manufacture of perfumery compounds, including over 600 kilograms of sandalwood oil stored in underground storage with a market worth of nearly Rs. 6 crores, have been recovered,” the DGGI noted.

Because the gold discovered from Jain’s premises had foreign markings, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has been called in to conduct the requisite investigations, according to the DGGI.

According to the DGGI, Jain, who is also the promotor of Odochem Industries, has accepted that the cash confiscated from the residential premises is related to the sale of items without paying GST. “In light of the substantial evidence on record demonstrating large-scale GST avoidance by Odochem Industries, Kannauj,” the statement continued.

Earlier in the day, Piyush Jain was arrested by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) in Ahmedabad under Section 67 of the CGST Act. Jain’s factory and apartment were also raided for an additional Rs 10 crore.

On Sunday, The investigation agency wants the UP Police to file a case under ‘cheating and forgery,’ after which the DGGI may file a case under the Money Laundering Prevention Act (PMLA).

Piyush Jain has also named others whose names have yet to be revealed, according to Times Now. According to insiders, Jain claims the funds are from the sale of his family’s ancestral jewelry and has asked the agencies to deduct income tax and refund the funds.

Going forward, the multi-agency investigation could include the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which will look into the perfume businessman’s connections to other people as well as his financial sources.

Meanwhile, a political fight over the recovery of cash from a Kanpur businessman has erupted in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

Jain reportedly received ‘patronage’ from the Samajwadi Party, according to the BJP. The SP has retaliated, claiming that the recovery of large sums of money from Jain demonstrates the failure of demonetization.

Corona vaccination for 15-18 years: Only Covaxin is likely to be used

India Covid booster shots

For the first time, Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin is expected to be the only Covid-19 vaccine available for children aged 15 to 18, who will be immunised from January 3, according to official sources.

In addition, healthcare and frontline workers, as well as citizens over 60 with comorbidities, would receive a third dosage of the same vaccine, they had previously received.

In a televised speech to the country on Saturday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that vaccination against Covid-19 for children aged 15 to 18 years will begin on January 3, with a “precaution dosage” for healthcare and frontline workers beginning on January 10.

The decisions were made in the wake of an increase in Covid cases connected to the virus’s Omicron strain.

On the advice of their doctor, citizens over 60 years old and with comorbidities will be eligible to get the preventive dose starting January 10 next year, according to the prime minister.

According to an authoritative source, the people covered in this group will be between seven and eight crores.

According to the source, Zydus Cadila’s vaccine ZyCoV-D has yet to be included in the country’s inoculation programme, even though it gained emergency use authorization from the drug authority on August 20, making it the country’s first vaccination to be delivered to children aged 12 to 18.

The world’s first DNA-based needle-free COVID-19 vaccine, ZyCoV-D, was developed in-house.

The interval between the second and third doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, dubbed the “precaution dosage,” is expected to be nine to twelve months.

The necessary changes to the CoWIN site are being made in order to register the new vaccination category.

On Friday, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) gave emergency use to Covaxin, an indigenously manufactured vaccine for children aged 12 and above, subject to specific conditions.

The vaccination has been given both doses to more than 61% of India’s adult population. Similarly, over 90% of the adult population had their first dose of Covid vaccination.

The total number of Covid-19 vaccine doses given out in the country has surpassed 141 crore doses.

Bollywood Actor Salman Khan was bitten by a snake at Panvel farmhouse, Discharged after treatment

Salman Khan bitten by snake

In the early hours of Sunday, December 26, Salman Khan was bitten by a snake at his Panvel farmhouse.

He was brought to a private hospital in the Navi Mumbai neighborhood of Kamothe for treatment. He was apparently bitten by a non-venomous snake.

After receiving treatment, Salman Khan was released from the hospital.

The biting incident appears to have occurred in a garden area outside the main seating promenade.

Salman’s farmhouse is enormous, and it rests amidst a lot of rainforest and forest. There is abundant vegetation, flora, and fauna, as well as a variety of birds and animals.

When the incident occurred, Salman was seated with some buddies & talking. “It happened on Saturday night while he was seated with his friends & talking. He jerked his arm around after feeling a quick sting. When his friend noticed the snake, they both became terrified and rushed for aid.”

Salman was brought to the Kamothe hospital and spent about 6-7 hours there for treatment.

Now he has recovered and returned to the Panvel farmhouse.

Salman is unharmed because the snake was not deadly. “Salman has observed many snakes in and around this farm,” a person stated. He has always requested that his caregivers be extra cautious. He had never been bitten by a snake before.”

The actor Salman Khan has chosen to keep his 56th birthday celebrations on December 27 at the Panvel farmhouse with close family members and a few acquaintances, according to an insider.

“For his birthday, Salman will be at his farmhouse. He doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it and wants to keep it low-key. Given his Bollywood friends, his guest list is usually rather big. However, thanks to Covid-19, he has kept it quite small the last two years and intends to do so again this year. He won’t invite too many people since he doesn’t want to risk putting himself and others in danger,” says the author.

In the United States, Marvel’s Black Widow has the best opening weekend since the epidemic

Black Widow, a Marvel and Disney superhero film, raked in a whopping US$80 million (S$108 million) in its opening weekend, shattering the record for the largest opening weekend since the pandemic.

The picture was released simultaneously in theatres and on Disney Plus as part of the streaming service’s Premier Access offering, where customers can rent Black Widow for an additional S$38.98. This was a first for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Black Widow brought in more than US$60 million in “Disney Plus Premier Access consumer expenditure internationally,” according to Disney, marking the first time a studio has disclosed digital rental earnings. Overseas, Black Widow grossed US$78 million in its first weekend, bringing its worldwide total to US$158 million.

The previously released Cruella starring Emma Stone and the animated Raya And The Last Dragon, which premiered concurrently in theatres and on Disney Plus, did not get any viewing data from Disney. It’s unclear whether Disney would continue to record digital rentals for the next action adventure Jungle Cruise, which premieres in theatres on July 30 and on Disney Plus.

After a difficult year for the movie theatre industry, the success of Black Widow is reassuring to both Hollywood and exhibitors. Marvel remains in a league of its own at the box office, according to David A Gross, founder of the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. After all, few film franchises can still enthral moviegoers after 24 instalments.

Universal also took third and fourth place on US box office charts with Boss Baby: Family Business (US$8.7 million) and The Forever Purge (US$6.7 million). The Boss Baby sequel and the most recent Purge installment each opened theatrically over the Jul 4 holiday weekend and have now collected US$34.7 million and US$27.4 million, respectively.

With US$3 million, Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II climbed to fifth place, bringing its domestic total to US$150 million, the highest for a film released during the epidemic.

The UN has established a population fund (UNFPA) and a population division to design programmes and work with other organisations in order to spotlight and spread information on population control methods.

World Population Day’s History

The United Nations founded World Population Day in 1989, spurred on by the popularity of the 1987 Five Billion Day. The day was first observed on July 11, 1990, after a resolution to that effect was enacted. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolved in December 1990 to keep World Population Day going in order to raise awareness about population issues, including their connections to the environment.

World Population Day’s Importance

The purpose of World Population Day is to bring attention to the problems caused by overpopulation and to raise awareness about how overpopulation can impact the environment and humanity’s progress.

2021 World Population Day Theme

The influence of the Covid-19 epidemic on fertility is the theme of World Population Day 2021 this year. It will be studied in order to learn more about the global impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on sexual and reproductive health and behaviour. It is organised by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ Population Division .

Haryana’s schools will reopen on July 16 for classes 9 to 12

The Haryana government declared on Friday (July 9) that schools for Classes 9 to 12 will resume on July 16 as a result of the decrease in COVID-19 cases. Officials informed PTI that pupils in Classes 6 to 8 will be allowed to return to school from July 23.

With their parents’ approval, youngsters will be permitted to attend school. However, pupils will not be required to attend school because online classes will continue, according to the spokeswoman.

Students will be summoned to school while following COVID-19 protocols to the letter. “For pupils coming to the schools, social separation and other norms will apply,” the spokeswoman stated. There has yet to be a determination on whether or not physical education sessions for pupils in grades 1 through 5 will be resumed.

On Thursday, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar remarked that a plan should be put in place to reopen educational institutions while adhering to the COVID-19 norms to the letter. “Given the decrease in COVID-19 cases, a plan should be put in place to reopen the schools as soon as possible,” he stated.

Haryana announced on July 4 that the lockdown will be extended until July 12 and that more relaxations would be allowed.

According to the Health Department’s daily statement on Friday, 57 new illnesses brought the total number of cases to 7,69,205. COVID-19 claimed the lives of nine people, bringing the total to 9,534. There are now 993 active cases in the state, with 7,58,678 persons who have recovered.

The COVID-19 medication, which Merck claims decreases hospitalisation, is awaiting clearance in India

After interim data from a late-stage trial showed it reduced cut hospitalizations and speed up recovery in mild instances, India’s Hetero Labs requested an emergency use OK from the local regulator for Merck’s COVID-19 medication molnupiravir on Friday.

Merck & Co. and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics are developing Molnupiravir, an antiviral medication for the treatment of COVID-19 patients who are not hospitalised.

Between March and April, Merck enlisted the help of several Indian generic drugmakers, notably Cipla and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, to ramp up production and undertake clinical trials, bringing the antibiotic to India in time to combat a new wave of infections.

Merck stated in late April that the partnerships provided these firms permission to manufacture and supply molnupiravir to India and more than 100 low- and middle-income countries after receiving permits or emergency authorizations from local regulatory regulators.

The late-stage trial of molnupiravir, Hetero stated, looked at the drug’s efficacy and safety in patients with mild COVID-19 in COVID-19 designated hospital locations across India.

The antiviral medicine resulted in statistically significant fewer hospital admissions, a faster recovery period, and early negative SARS-CoV-2 RT PCR results, according to the findings.

Coronavirus cases in India have decreased since reaching a dangerous high in April and May. Health experts, on the other hand, have warned that the country should prepare for a third wave by October.

Merck and partner Ridgeback are now testing Molnupiravir in a global late-stage research, with results expected in the fall of 2021.
