India markets regulator says probing ‘pump and dump' instances
India's markets regulator said on Friday that it found 'incriminating evidence' as a part of its ongoing investigation into 'pump and dump' practices involving certain stocks. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said it conducted search and seizure operations in multiple locations this month, but did not name any specific sites or companies involved. 'Pump and dump' refers to a stock manipulation practice in which market participants artificially inflate share prices through continuous purchases, luring other investors to buy in, and then sell their shares at higher prices to realise profits. Financials, metals lift Indian benchmarks to weekly gains as geopolitical, trade fears ease Local business news website Moneycontrol reported last week, citing sources, that SEBI carried out raids in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and the northern hub of Gurugram to crack down on a pump and dump scheme worth more than 3 billion rupees ($35.1 million). The raids reportedly involved 15 to 20 shell firms. At least two listed agro-tech companies and their promoters are allegedly at the helm of the network, according to the Moneycontrol report.

Kriti Kharbanda on facing rejection and losing a big film: The actress reveals it happened after her signing amount: ' I won't lie, I cried. It broke my heart'
Kriti Kharbanda reflects on her 16-year film journey, marking a new phase with 'Rana Naidu 2,' which she calls 'Kriti 2.0.' She recalls early rejections, including losing a major Bollywood role after signing the contract, emphasizing her commitment to self-reliance. Kriti values her experiences across languages and platforms, viewing them as crucial learning opportunities. Kriti Kharbanda has quietly carved a space for herself in the Indian film industry over the past 16 years, moving seamlessly across languages, genres, and now, digital platforms. With the success of Rana Naidu 2, where she's earned praise for her fierce portrayal of Alia Oberoi, Kriti is embracing a new chapter she calls 'Kriti 2.0. ' In a candid conversation, the actress looked back on her journey—marked by hard-earned milestones, painful rejections, and an unwavering commitment to forging her path on her own terms. In an interview with Moneycontrol, Kriti reflected on her 16-year journey from her 2009 Telugu debut Boni to the success of Rana Naidu 2, where she plays the bold and complex Alia Oberoi. Calling herself "Kriti 2.0," she also opened up about being replaced in a big project despite being signed. After her Hindi film debut Raaz Reboot, Kriti came close to landing a major Bollywood project. She went through several auditions and screen tests and had even signed the contract—only to have the opportunity taken away at the last moment. The actress opened up about the rejections she has faced in her career, recalling a particularly painful experience after the release of Raaz Reboot. She had auditioned multiple times, met the director, completed a look test with the lead actor, and even received the signing amount for a major Bollywood project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Darm-Experten: "Ein Großteil der Probiotika in Wahrheit wirkungslos?" Medizinmonitor Weiterlesen Undo However, while attending a family wedding in Delhi, she got a sudden call informing her that the role had gone to another actor who had become available. The reason given was industry relationships playing a role in casting decisions. Though heartbroken at the time, Kriti said she moved on quickly, acknowledging that such setbacks are common in a competitive industry where how you enter doesn't matter—only that you do. She also emphasized that she has never relied on personal relationships to advance her career. She shared that she prefers to succeed on her own merit and refuses to exploit industry connections or let anyone take her for granted. For her, every opportunity has been earned—not handed to her. Kriti, whose career began in 2009 with Telugu cinema, has since worked across Hindi, Tamil, Kannada films and now OTT. She sees Rana Naidu 2 as a turning point, calling it the beginning of 'Kriti 2.0.' Reflecting on the journey, she shared that her debut film was released on June 12, and by coincidence, she began this new chapter on June 13—marking a full-circle moment. That night, she gave herself a quiet pep talk, acknowledging how far she's come without any external support, and expressed pride in the path she's carved on her own. She doesn't label her early years in the industry as a 'struggle' but rather a meaningful learning curve. She believes every experience—good, bad, or challenging—has shaped her journey. Proud of both her achievements and missteps, she embraces every project as a stepping stone that helped her grow. Looking back at her 16-year journey, she says she wouldn't change a thing. Acting, she adds, will always remain her first love, even as she explores other avenues in the future.

Rare Black Dog Spotted In Maharashtra – What Makes It So Unique
Last Updated: The rare melanistic dhole was spotted by a tourist named Digvijay Patil who was out exploring the area. In a stunning and rare sighting at Maharashtra's Sahyadri Tiger Reserve, a tourist exploring the forest's buffer zone came across a black wild dog, a melanistic dhole, and managed to capture it on camera. This is believed to be the first such sighting in India in nearly 90 years. According to a Moneycontrol report, the wild dog was spotted by Digvijay Patil, a nature enthusiast, who was out exploring the area. Patil recorded videos and photos of the animal and informed honorary wildlife warden Rohan Bhate. Forest officials confirmed the sighting and have now set up cameras in the area to monitor any future appearances. A video of the rare black dhole, obtained by journalist Netwa Dhuri and shared online, is now gaining widespread attention online. The last known sighting of a melanistic dhole in India was in 1936 near Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. That one was recorded by British naturalist R.C. Morris. What Makes Dholes Unique? Dholes, also called Asiatic wild dogs, are very different from the dogs we are used to. Their features are a mix of grey wolves and red foxes but with a long back and slender limbs like a cat. They don't bark or howl like regular dogs or wolves. Instead, they whistle, the reason they are often called whistling dogs. They can also make other sounds like whines, chatters, growls and yelps. Dholes live and hunt in packs. These usually have 5 to 12 members, but in some areas, the groups can grow to 15 or even 20. They prey on animals like sambar deer, gaur, wild boar, water buffaloes and goats. Dholes eat some of the same animals as tigers and leopards. But they usually avoid competing with them by choosing different prey. Why Is This Dhole Black? Most dholes have a reddish-brown coat. But in very rare cases, a condition called melanism causes some animals to turn completely black. This happens because of an excess of melanin, the pigment responsible for colouring skin and fur. It is a genetic condition, passed on through a recessive gene. And while melanism can show up in many species like leopards and squirrels, it is extremely rare in dholes. That's what makes this sighting so special. What Does This Rare Sighting Mean? The report citing forest officials called this sighting a strong sign of the region's healthy ecosystem. It usually means the environment is healthy and stable where even rare genetic variants can survive.
