After a severe road accident in May left the 35-year-old with memory loss, he lay on a hospital bed without a name, address or contact, until Delhi Police stepped in to piece together a life he couldn't remember.

Sanjeev Kumar: Failed relationships, Hema Malini, and the lonely death of an actor's actor
For an entire generation, Sanjeev Kumar's acting was almost a mystery. While he may not have been as famous as some of his contemporaries like Rajesh Khanna and Dilip Kumar, Kumar had a loyal fan base for his penchant for playing older roles. Born on 9 July 1938 as Harihar Jethalal Jariwala, Kumar is remembered for his wide range of roles in movies like Sholay, Aandhi, Namkeen, Koshish and Anamika, among others. But as famous as he was, his life was not without controversy. His multiple relationships, love story with Hema Malini and struggle with alcohol near the end of life drew many eyeballs. According to a report by The Indian Express' Screen, Kumar never shied away from his popularity among women and numbered his girlfriends. 'Whenever he was seeing a girl, he'd share it with me. We had numbered his girlfriends 1, 2, 3… He'd call up and say, Number 3 called me up today and number 9 reacted in this manner,' the report quoted actor Anju Mahendroo saying in an earlier interview. Kumar had relationships with several big actresses, including Hema Malini, Shabana Azmi, Saira Banu, and Sulakshana Pandit. According to the book An Actor's Actor, Kumar wanted to marry Malini. However, this could not go forward due to cultural differences, as Kumar wanted Malini to stop working after the marriage. Some years later, in the late 1970s, Sulakshana Pandit proposed that Kumar marry her, but he refused. Pandit spent her life unmarried and heartbroken. Later, his marriage to Azmi also couldn't go through as his mother disapproved of an interfaith alliance. For Kumar, reports suggest, his failed love life remained one of the biggest pain points. Later in his life, he drowned himself in food and alcohol. He underwent a bypass surgery following a massive heart attack and tried to cut down on alcohol. However, another heart attack in 1985 took him away from his fans at the age of 47. Despite his short life, Kumar's contribution to Hindi cinema remains unparalleled and unmatched.

Pune Crime Files: How a probe into dating app scam led police to mule accounts, cybercriminals with China links
A Pune-based IT professional in his 40s signed up on a dating platform last year, and he connected with the profile of a woman named Anamika, ironically, a word that means 'anonymous'. Their online conversations quickly grew into what seemed like a genuine relationship, and soon, talks of marriage followed. But the connection, which appeared to promise a shared future, turned out to be an elaborate cyber scam in which he was allegedly duped of a staggering Rs 1.55 crore over eight months. The investigation revealed that the cybercriminals, operating behind the profile of 'Anamika,' gradually gained the complainant's trust and allegedly requested large sums of money. On the pretence of building a future together, 'Anamika' allegedly convinced him to transfer funds to purchase a house without ever having met. Over time, the scammers further manipulated him into investing in various trading apps, luring him with promises of exceptionally high returns, said the police. After spending nearly all his life savings and facing further demands for more money, he realised he had been deceived. When he tried to recover his funds, 'Anamika' allegedly abruptly stopped all communication with him. The police filed an FIR in March based on his complaint. The investigation by the cybercrime police station in Pimpri Chinchwad unearthed an elaborate network of mule account handlers allegedly operating from Solapur and with links to cybercriminals masterminding these scams from China. The police zeroed in on one particular mule account registered in Solapur in June. As the account holder was questioned, he spilled the beans on three others from Solapur who had allegedly told him that his bank account would be used for taking funds obtained from gaming applications. As the investigation dug deeper into these three suspects, the police established their identities and roles in the racket. The mule account handlers from Solapur have been identified as Shubham Chandrakant Mantha, 25, a resident of Ashok Chowk; Swapnil Chandulal Baheti, 35, a resident of Hotgi Road; and Prashik Uttam Navghare, 26, a resident of Juna Kumbhani Naka. 'Our investigation revealed that Mantha worked for a China-headquartered payment application company, and he and Baheti were in direct contact with the masterminds based out of China. A coordinated search operation was launched for the trio as their roles were confirmed in the probe,' an officer who was part of the probe said. In the second week of June, Mantha and Navghare were arrested from Pune International Airport when they were about to flee to Nepal via Patna. Baheti, too, was placed under arrest. 'Investigation revealed an elaborate mule handling and fund siphoning operation with direct links to China,' said an officer. All three suspects are currently in judicial custody.

From Chokli to Germany: Kerala village stands by Anamika's volleyball dream
KANNUR: With the collective support of kind-hearted well-wishers, sports enthusiasts, and local clubs, Anamika Aneesh from Chokli has realised her long-cherished dream of wearing the Indian jersey at the World University Volleyball Championship. What once seemed an uphill battle due to financial hurdles has now turned into a proud moment for the small village in Kannur. Anamika is scheduled to leave for a special training camp in Bhubaneswar on June 16, ahead of the international tournament in Germany. The turning point in her volleyball journey came in 2016, when the Chokli panchayat, through a special decision, appointed volleyball coach K Sivadasan under the District Sports Council. It was during the training camp led by Sivadasan that Anamika's talent was first spotted. 'I was in Class 6 when I began training. In Class 7, I moved to a hostel to get more practice. It was always my dream to play in the national jersey,' said Anamika. After completing her Plus II education at Thalassery Girls School, where she also trained under the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Anamika continued to chase her dreams. She is currently a third-year undergraduate student at Assumption College, Changanassery, and trains under renowned volleyball coach Nawaz Bahab. Representing MG University, Anamika has made her mark at the national level by securing second place in the Junior National Volleyball Championship, the South Zone Inter-University Championship, and the All India Inter-University Championship.
