Is Aamir Khan making a film on the Meghalaya Murder Case? Actor responds
'There is no truth to these reports,' the actor said firmly. 'I honestly don't know where these stories start.'
The rumours had been steadily gaining traction, with various outlets suggesting that Khan was not only conceptualising a film inspired by the case but was also actively monitoring developments related to it.
The buzz intensified after a Times Now report cited unnamed sources allegedly close to Khan, claiming, 'Aamir Khan is closely following the updates on the Meghalaya murder case. He has personally tracked and discussed with his close circle the updates on the details. There might be a development on the subject from his production too.'
Despite the media speculation, Khan and his production house have made no official announcements linking them to the case or any project based on it. The lack of concrete confirmation did little to stop the rumour mill from spinning—until now.
As it stands, Khan appears to have no involvement—creative or otherwise—with any film related to the Meghalaya murder case. His focus, for now, remains on upcoming projects that have been officially announced.
Aamir Khan was last seen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which was an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film, 'Campeones'. It is also a spiritual sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par'.
Directed by RS Prasanna, the film followed a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a tournament.

'Strong evidence' available against Saif Ali Khan attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam. These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24). Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt. The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days. Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan. The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India. If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued. In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail. The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.

How Jagdeep Dhankhar helped Salman Khan get out of jail in Blackbuck case
Jagdeep Dhankhar, who recently resigned as Vice President of India citing health reasons, is back in the spotlight. But before making waves in the political arena, Dhankhar was an accomplished advocate. One of his notable achievements from his legal career is now making headlines once again. The Legal Case That Made Headlines Long before his rise to the country's second-highest constitutional office, Dhankhar was a seasoned lawyer. In 2018, he played a pivotal role in helping Salman Khan secure bail in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case—a case that continues to attract national attention. The incident took place near Kankani village in Jodhpur during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain. At that time, two blackbucks were allegdly killed. The animals are a protected species under India's Wildlife Protection Act . While co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, and Sonali Bendre were acquitted, Salman Khan was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison by a Jodhpur trial court on April 5, 2018. Dhankhar's Key Role in Khan's Bail Salman Khan's legal team, led by Dev Anand Gehlot, brought in Dhankhar for his legal expertise to handle the bail proceedings. His strategic legal intervention proved crucial. On April 7, 2018—just two days after Khan's conviction—District and Sessions Judge Ravindra Kumar Joshi granted bail. Khan had spent two nights in Jodhpur Central Jail. The bail was approved on a personal bond of ?50,000, along with two sureties of ?25,000 each. Conditions included a travel restriction: Khan could not leave the country without court permission and had to appear in court on May 7, 2018. A Turning Point in Dhankhar's Career Dhankhar's involvement in the high-profile case highlighted his legal prowess. It was one of the prominent moments in his legal career, reinforcing his public image and laying the groundwork for his eventual transition into politics. He went on to serve as Governor of West Bengal and later became Vice President of India in 2022.
