Shami made me quit job, must pay maintenance: Estranged wife on court order
The High Court directed Shami to pay Rs 1.5 lakh a month for Jahan's personal expenses and 2.5 lakh for the care of their daughter, overturning a lower court's order from 2018 that had awarded significantly smaller sums.In her appeal, Jahan's legal counsel argued that Shami's financial circumstances could support a higher alimony amount. According to his income tax return for the financial year 2021, Shami's annual income was approximately Rs 7.19 crore, or around Rs 60 lakh per month. Jahan claimed her combined monthly expenses, including those for her daughter, exceeded Rs 6 lakh.'SHAMI CAN'T DESTROY ME'advertisement'Thank God there is a law in our country which orders people to bear their responsibilities,' Jahan said. 'If you are entering a relationship with someone, it is not written on their face that they have a poor character, are a criminal, or will play with your and your daughter's future... I too became a victim like this.'#WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal | Cricketer Md Shami's estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, says, "I used to model and act before I got married. Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only a housewife's life. I loved Shami so much that I happily accepted it... But now https://t.co/NFcLkkcUSP pic.twitter.com/zHJcJ5QNbh— ANI (@ANI) July 2, 2025She added, 'God has forgiven the biggest criminals. He [Shami] cannot see the protection, future, and happiness of his daughter. He should also give up his stubbornness of wanting to ruin Hasin Jahan's life. He cannot destroy me because I am on the path of justice while he is on the path of injustice.'Jahan, a former model and cheerleader, married Shami in 2014. Their relationship turned bitter in 2018 when she accused him of domestic violence, dowry harassment, and infidelity. Despite having a daughter together, Jahan has alleged that Shami stopped providing financial support and cut ties with them.- EndsMust Watch

Spot the fake ones out: Labubu or Lafufu? Fans struggle to identify originals
Labubu fans around the world are struggling to keep up with a growing wave of fakes, known as "Lafufus," dolls that look just like the real thing. These knock-offs are fooling even the most alert collectors, despite Pop Mart's efforts to stop the spread. Pop Mart, the Beijing-based brand behind the popular Labubu dolls, uses QR codes and barcode checks to confirm if a toy is genuine. But as one Chennai-based content creator found out, even these steps aren't always enough. 'I had picked up a Labubu for myself and had done an unboxing video which got a lot of views,' said the creator, who did not want to be named. 'I thought it would be fun to do a video with my whole family unboxing their Labubus, so I picked up a pack of six. We did an unboxing video and even authenticated the product," ET quoted the influencer. She followed Pop Mart's instructions by scanning the QR code and entering the barcode digits. Her toys passed the test. But later, an eagle-eyed collector noticed something was off, the website itself was fake, and her toys were actually Lafufus. Even though she later replaced the fake with a real Labubu, she took it in her stride. 'Lafufus have their own fan base too!' she said. Labubu dolls, small figures with pointy ears, big eyes, and nine-toothed grins, first appeared in 2019 and quickly became a craze. Sold in 'blind boxes,' these toys cost between $20 and $30 but can fetch much higher prices. One life-sized version recently sold at a Beijing auction for a record $150,000 (about Rs 1.28 crore). As demand soars, so does the counterfeit trade. Last month, Chinese customs seized over 46,000 fake Labubu toys. State media warned of a growing black market hurting both consumers and creators. Pop Mart's sales have skyrocketed thanks to Labubu's popularity. Since going public in Hong Kong in 2020, the company's founder Wang Ning has become one of China's top ten billionaires, with a net worth of $22 billion. But Lafufus are gaining ground. They cost as little as $7.50 and are seen by many as a cheaper way to join the trend. 'The fakes have become so good,' said Abbas Zaveri, founder of HypeFly, a marketplace for sneakers and collectibles told ET. 'Things that customers could look out for is that the heads of the lafufus tend to be very flimsy and the font on the box generally is embossed but the quality on the boxes of fakes tend to be sub-par.' Zaveri further added that despite the original pack for 6 costs more than Rs 24,000, some Indian websites are selling it for just Rs 9,000. Nikhil Jain, who runs City Kicks India, believes the problem is widespread. 'About 70–80% of the dolls in the Indian market are Lafufus,' he said. 'The site URL had subtle misspellings like "Pop Mari" or "Poap Mart" which are good tell-tale signs for this fraud. There are some marketplaces that have had to set up a team to authenticate their products because earlier they sold them as originals and customers figured out that they were being charged for an original but received a lafufu instead. ' The issue isn't limited to India. In Scotland, consumer group Advice Direct Scotland warned that fake Labubus are tricking families and upsetting children. 'These counterfeits are not only deceiving collectors and draining hard-earned money from families, but they are also leaving children heartbroken,' said Hazel Knowles, consumer project lead at the organisation. 'We urge consumers to be vigilant, buy only from trusted retailers and report suspected fakes.' Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .

Medical Education Scam Busted: Godman, Ex-UGC Chief, Among 34 Officials Named
Last Updated: The alleged corruption spans multiple states, pointing to a nationwide racket involving approvals, inspections, and recognitions granted to several private medical colleges. In what it has called as one of the largest medical education scams in India, the Central Bureau of Education (CBI) has busted a nexus of top government officials, intermediaries and representatives of private medical colleges, who were allegedly involved in 'egregious" acts, including graft and manipulation of the regulatory framework governing medical colleges. The alleged corruption spans multiple states, pointing to a nationwide racket involving approvals, inspections, and recognitions granted to several private medical colleges. As per the agency, the corruption involves top officials from the union health ministry, the National Medical Commission (NMC), middlemen, private college representatives, prominent educationists, and even a self-styled godman, news agency PTI reported. High-Profile Names Under Scanner: The scam, unearthed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, has opened the lid on a number of deep links the officials had with each other. The agency named several high profile names in its FIR including, The central probe agency arrested eight people in the case recently. These include three doctors of the NMC team who were held for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 55 lakh for giving a favourable report to the Naya Raipur-based Rawatpura Institute of Medical Sciences and Research. The agency has alleged that Ravi Shankar of the Rawatpura Institute wanted advance information about the inspection. A director of the institute, Atul Kumar Tiwari, also named in the FIR, got in touch with Raval to get the information unlawfully. Ravi Shankar also got in touch with DP Singh to get a favourable inspection report in lieu of bribes, the CBI alleged and added that Singh delegated the task to one Suresh. There was no immediate reaction from Singh. Raval had allegedly demanded Rs 25-30 lakh for the information and gave the names of assessors and the date of inspection to the institute officials. The syndicate has its roots in the Union Health Ministry, where the eight accused officials ran the sophisticated scheme facilitating unauthorised access, illegal duplication and dissemination of highly confidential files and sensitive information to representatives of medical colleges through a network of intermediaries in exchange for huge bribes, the FIR alleged. These officials, along with the intermediaries, manipulated the statutory inspection process conducted by the NMC by disclosing inspection schedules and identities of the designated assessors to the medical institutions concerned well in advance of the official communication. The CBI has named the Union Health Ministry's Poonam Meena, Dharamvir, Piyush Malyan, Anup Jaiswal, Rahul Srivastava, Deepak, Manisha and Chandan Kumar as accused in the FIR. These people allegedly located files and clicked photographs of notings and comments made by senior officers and sent these to middlemen and representatives of medical colleges. The crucial information of internal processing of medical institutions in the ministry gave an alarming degree of leverage to colleges. The agency has alleged that several middlemen and representatives of medical colleges, including Bhadoria, Joshy Mathew, Udit Narain, Virendra Kumar, and Manisha Joshi, were tapping accused Health Ministry officials for information on NMC assessments. All of them have been named in the FIR. 'Such prior disclosures have enabled medical colleges to orchestrate fraudulent arrangements, including the bribing of assessors to secure favourable inspection reports, the deployment of non-existent or proxy faculty (ghost faculty), and the admission of fictitious patients to artificially project compliance during inspections, and tampering with the biometric attendance systems to falsify," the FIR said. The CBI has alleged that Bhadoria was cloning artificial fingers to create a fake biometric attendance of doctors in the hospital. The agency has mentioned bribes running into lakhs of rupees being exchanged between NMC teams, intermediaries and representatives of medical colleges, being routed through hawala and used for multiple purposes, including the one in the name of construction of a temple. It has also alleged that Jeetu Lal Meena, a wholetime member of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board in NMC, was in touch with Indra Bali Mishra 'Guruji', a resident of Varanasi, who in turn was a pointsman for Virender Kumar, an alleged middlemen for a number of colleges in southern India. It is alleged that in lieu of information, Kumar gave bribes in lakhs to Guruji, who got it collected through his brother-in-law Shivam Pandey and got it handed to Meena. Meena allegedly used a portion of the bribe money in the construction of a temple in Rajasthan's Dausa. One Hari Prasad in Ananthpur, Andhra Pradesh, also worked through Kumar. Prasad, who arranged dummy faculty and handled NMC affairs for some medical colleges for a fee, had two more partners working for him, Krishna Kishore and Ankam Rambabu who had taken bribes from Venkat, a director of Gayatri Medical College, Visakhapatnam and Father Joseph Kommareddy of Father Colombo Institute of Medical Sciences in Warangal.
