It's very risky to be choosy but I wait for challenging roles: Anupama Solanki
Actress Anupama Solanki, known for her dynamic performances across television, is currently grabbing attention for her powerful new role in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah. While she's always been selective about the projects she takes on, Anupama admits that her choosiness is a risk—but one she's willing to take for the sake of challenging roles. 'This is the first time I'm playing a positive Dabang character,' she reveals, talking about her role as Sudha. 'She's just returned to India after living in Dubai. She's strict, fiery, and unafraid to assert herself—especially with her husband, played by Aarya Babbar.' The ongoing show recently took an interesting turn with a major plot shift—Aarya Babbar plays a double role as twin brothers Shashikant and Kalikant. While Kalikant's death is set to shake the storyline, Shashikant's calm and grounded nature brings balance to Sudha's intense personality. 'Shashikant knows how to handle her. That's what makes their dynamic engaging,' Anupama explains. Speaking about the upcoming episodes, she teases, 'The story is going to take a sharp twist involving Sudha, Kalikant, and Shashikant. I believe viewers will love what's coming next.' Anupama also took the opportunity to reflect on her career choices. 'I'm very selective. Yes, it takes time to land roles, but I want to do justice to every character. In Nath, I played a village girl. In Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai, I was greedy. Every role I choose has to be different.' Even though entering a running show midway can be challenging, Anupama remains confident. 'With the new storyline, the audience will be hooked. My fans will see me in a new avatar, and I'm excited for that,' she signs off.

Rs 31 cr fraud: EOU registers fresh case against bank manager of private bank
Patna: The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar police lodged a fresh case to probe forgery and money laundering charges against former manager of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Sumit Kumar, his associate Shashikant Kumar, and others. During the investigation, it was revealed that Rs 31.93 crore was fraudulently transferred from the bank's account of the district land acquisition officer (DLAO) using forged documents with fake signatures. Manavjit Singh Dhillon, DIG of EOU, confirmed that the case was registered with EOU on Friday, and notices will be sent to the accused for interrogation. "The matter came to light in 2021 when a case was registered against Sumit at Gandhi Maidan police station. He got involved in online betting. He started criminally operating the account and began withdrawing money through cheques. During an audit, it was discovered that he was misappropriating govt funds," he said. The DIG told TOI on Sunday that an internal bank inquiry revealed that Sumit was withdrawing money from the account without the DLAO's signature, signing it himself, and approving it. "Consequently, he was terminated, and a case was filed at the Gandhi Maidan police station in Patna. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo In 2021, the ED took over the case, and during the investigation, money laundering activities were uncovered.

He added: "Fake accounts were opened without the customers' knowledge using their identity cards. Illegal betting money was coming into these accounts, which were opened using customers' Aadhaar cards without their knowledge."

Following investigations, ED's Patna zonal office joint director Satyakam Dutta filed charges against Sumit, who hails from Ara, and Shashikant from Nalanda's Gagan Diwan mohalla, along with others at the EOU. This fraudulent activity, which occurred before 2019 and was discovered in 2021, involved withdrawals from Kotak Mahindra Bank's Exhibition Road branch. The fraud was exposed when police apprehended one Shubham Kumar Gupta in Feb 2021 for unauthorised RTGS transfers using forged signatures of DLAO. Sumit established accounts for the foreign gaming company's India operations, while Shashikant created multiple company accounts under various names. These accounts facilitated online gaming and betting activities.
