Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gautam Gambhir has alleged that he and his family received a death threat from "ISIS Kashmir." Gambhir, who represents East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, allegedly received the threat via email on Tuesday. #GautamGambhir
newsbytesapp.com/news/politics/…
Gambhir has been vocal about cross-border terrorism from Pakistan. He had demanded that there should not be any relationship with Pakistan until the issue is resolved. Last week, he criticized Navjot Singh Sidhu as the latter called Pakistan PM Imran Khan his "elder brother."
Gambhir allegedly received the threatening email at 9:32 pm on Tuesday. "We are going to kill you and your family," the email reportedly read. The complaint has been marked to Delhi Police's Special Cyber Cell to trace the email's source.
DCP Central (Delhi) Shweta Chauhan said the police have swung into action after Gambhir's complaint & initiated a probe. The police are verifying the email address used to send the threat. Meanwhile, security has been tightened outside Gambhir's Rajendra Nagar residence.
On Saturday, Gambhir had tweeted, "Send ur son or daughter to the border & then call a terrorist state head ur big brother! #Disgusting #Spineless." The tweet was directed at Sidhu and the "terrorist state head" is understood to be Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court last month after spending weeks in jail in Cordelia Cruises case. It stated there was no evidence suggesting Aryan and others were involved in any conspiracy as claimed by the NCB.

SRK, who recently resumed filming for Pathan & the Atlee directorial, is naturally quite concerned about his son's ordeal. While Khan asked his personal bodyguard, Ravi Singh, to protect Aryan when he's away, he might also take legal action against those who implicated his son.
The bail order maintained the WhatsApp chats collected from Aryan, his co-accused—Munmum Dhamecha & Arbaaz Merchantt—didn't show anything objectionable. As per "Bollywood Hungama," now Khan has been advised to slap cases against NCB officer Sameer Wankhede, and others.

A severe third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to occur in India, said Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director of AlIMS-Delhi. He added that booster doses of vaccine are not needed in India, adding the focus should be on increasing vaccination coverage.
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/ran…
India has already seen two waves of the pandemic, the second of which occurred earlier this year & claimed the lives of tens of thousands. Experts have maintained that a high sero-positivity & a significant vaccination coverage will help control the severity of any fresh wave.
"As our vaccination program is moving forward, as we are seeing low vaccine hesitancy, and as we are seeing the vaccines are holding out - in terms of preventing severe disease & ... death - the chance of any huge wave is declining with each passing day," Dr. Guleria said.

Lovers of Hindi indie music swear by the name Lucky Ali even now. In fact, only last year, the 63-year-old had gone viral for his impromptu performance in Goa. However, even the 'O Sanam' crooner has had his fair share of letdowns. Here are more details.
newsbytesapp.com/news/entertain… Image
The singer shared on Facebook that he had worked with T-Series for his fourth album, 'Kabhi Aisa Lagta Hai' (2004). While Aslam, Ali & another lyricist wrote the words, the company credited another artist as the lyricist & according to Ali, "he was being promoted by the company." Image
Ali objected to the idea, and his album was taken off the shelves. "Aslam should have gotten his due credit," held the 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' singer. Originally, the post said that Sameer was the artist pushed by the label. But Ali later edited his update, erasing the name. #Tseries Image
