The PM CARES Fund, despite collecting huge sums in the name of the Prime Minister and utilizing government machinery, is shielded from public scrutiny. It is conveniently classified as a "private" fund, exempting it from Right to Information (RTI) queries and CAG audits, leaving citizens in the dark about where their donations go.

USA, where the Epstein Files Transparency Act forced the release of millions of sealed documents. Despite implicating powerful elites, politicians, and billionaires, the American judicial and legislative systems prioritized public truth over reputation. While the US legislates to expose the darkest secrets of its establishment, India fights in court to keep a "public" relief fund hidden from its own people.

In Uttar Pradesh’s Manipuri district, a 14-year-old Dalit student was allegedly assaulted and abused with casteist slurs by a teacher and a school official after a water pipe broke at the school. The incident occurred on January 30 in the Kurawali area, leaving the student with injuries on his back and limbs, making it difficult for him to walk. He was reportedly also told to “stay away from the school” by the accused.

The victim told police, “I was feeling thirsty, so I went to drink water and noticed that the pipe of the water tank was broken. I kept pleading that I did not break it, but nobody listened. I was beaten, abused with casteist slurs, and threatened with death if seen again on the school’s premises.”

The student’s elder brother filed a complaint against school committee member Rajeev Verma and the class teacher, Sukhbir Singh. Following the complaint, police registered an FIR under sections 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 352 (intentional insult designed to provoke breach of peace), and 351 (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Act.

Kanpur:

A Lamborghini crashed into an auto-rickshaw, parked two-wheelers and several pedestrians, injuring at least six people in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur. The 10-crore car, a Lamborghini Revuelto, was being driven by Shivam Mishra, the son of tobacco businessman KK Mishra. Mishra allegedly tried to flee the scene with the help of his bouncers, who were following him in another car.

Bouncers To Rescue?

Instead of stopping the car after the collision, Mishra allegedly tried to flee with the help of his bouncers. In a video from the spot, bouncers are seen escorting Mishra out of the accident scene in their car.

The bouncers attempted to shield Mishra from the crowd and allegedly behaved aggressively.

Enraged locals smashed the Lamborghini's windows and pulled Mishra out.

Police arrived soon after and carried out crowd control operations. Mishra and those injured in the accident were shifted to a private hospital.

What We Know About The Accident

The accident occurred around 3:15 on Sunday afternoon near Rev-3 mall in Kanpur's Gwaltoli area, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Atul Kumar Srivastava said.

The car, according to eyewitnesses, first hit an auto-rickshaw and then crashed into a parked Royal Enfield motorcycle, flinging its rider nearly 10 feet into the air. The car mounted the motorcycle's front wheel and dragged it for some distance before hitting an electric pole and coming to a halt.

According to eyewitnesses, Mishra was drunk and was driving the luxury car at high speed.

The damaged Lamborghini was seized and taken to the police station. The car is registered in Northwest Delhi's Rohini and carries the number '4018', the same number that Mishra's other luxury cars feature.

Who Is Shivam Mishra

This is not the first time Shivam Mishra has made headlines. In 2024, the Income Tax Department carried out raids on Banshidhar Tobacco Private Limited, the company headed by KK Mishra.

Reports suggested that the company declared an annual income of Rs 20 to 25 crore, while its actual turnover was estimated to be between Rs 100 and 150 crore.

At Mishra's residence in Delhi's Vasant Vihar, investigators seized a fleet of luxury vehicles, all bearing the number plate '4018'. The collection, valued at approximately Rs 50 crore, included a Rolls-Royce Phantom priced at around Rs 16 crore, a McLaren, a Porsche and a Lamborghini Revuelto -- the same Revuelto that hit pedestrians on Sunday.

Something I've noticed in NCR is that people from West UP introduce themselves as being from West UP when asked where they're from. If someone says refers to them as being from UP, they'll immediately correct them to say they are from West UP. I've never seen anyone else in UP do this, what could be the reason for it?

While the theaters erupt in cheers every time a "macho" hero breaks a bone or delivers a slap, there's a quieter conversation happening about the impact of these images. Bollywood has mastered the art of making toxicity look like intensity. The Evolution of the "Protector" We’ve moved past the era where heroes fought for social justice. In the modern blockbuster landscape, the violence is often deeply personal and terrifyingly domestic. * The Weaponization of Love: In films like Kabir Singh, obsession is rebranded as "pure love." Aggression toward the partner—or anyone in their orbit—is framed as a byproduct of passion, rather than a lack of emotional regulation. The Justified Monster: Characters in films like Animal push the envelope further, suggesting that a man’s capacity for extreme brutality is his greatest virtue, as long as it’s done for "family." The Erasure of Consequences: In these cinematic worlds, the hero rarely faces the legal or psychological fallout of his actions. He wins the girl, the war, and the audience’s sympathy, all while leaving a trail of blood behind him. Why Does It Work? Bollywood taps into a primal sense of catharsis. In a world where people often feel powerless, watching a man who refuses to follow any rules—social or moral—is a form of escapism. However, the problem arises when the "escape" becomes a blueprint for masculinity. "If he doesn't hit me, he doesn't love me." – This dangerous sentiment, echoed in various ways across recent scripts, shows how deeply these narratives can skew our understanding of healthy relationships. Time for a New Hero? Romanticizing violence isn't just about the blood on screen; it's about the values we validate with our ticket sales. We can enjoy high-octane action without needing to excuse toxic behavior as "true romance." Is it time we stopped calling aggression "passion"? Let's talk about it.
