'Vile, brazen & mischievous': CJI Surya Kant slams casteist remarks attributed to him on social media NEW DELHI: In a rare incident of direct pushback, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant denied a statement that was shared on social media as attributed to him. The CJI’s statement came as a social media account had falsely attributed to him the following remark, originally made in Hindi: “If a society, even after producing IAS, IPS, CJI, President, and PM from its ranks, still chooses to remain exploited, then the fault lies not with the Brahmins but with its own mentality.” Calling the situation “vile, brazen and mischievous”, the CJI, in a statement to PTI said, "To manufacture a fictitious quote, and to attribute it to the highest judicial office of the land, is an act of rank dishonesty, deliberate social incitement, and contempt for constitutional values." “Such reckless conduct strikes at the very foundation of public trust in the judiciary and the rule of law,” he further added in his statement. Calling the claim fabricated, the statement said: “These attributions are wholly baseless, malicious, and demonstrably false.” It further urged caution against the spread of misinformation, saying: "The Office of the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India calls upon all responsible citizens, media organisations, and social media platforms to refrain from amplifying false and contrived content."

SUV grazes MP Supriya Sule's car on Mumbai-Pune Expressway, all escape unhurt NAVI MUMBAI: NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule, who was travelling in her car along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Saturday while returning to Mumbai, escaped unhurt after an SUV grazed her car before the Madap tunnel in the jurisdiction of Khalapur police in Raigad district. MP Sule posted about the mishap on her X handle, mentioning that, "While travelling from Pune to Mumbai today, I had an awful experience on the highway when vehicle GJ13CF5257 rammed into my car from the side due to reckless driving. Incidents like these are a serious reminder that overspeeding and negligence on our roads can put countless lives at risk. I urge everyone to wear seat belts, remain alert and drive responsibly so that our highways are safer for all." PSI Sanjay Tilekar of Palase Highway Safety Patrol (HSP) said, "The mishap of the car of MP Supriya Sule occurred after it crossed Khalapur toll plaza and reached 29 km before Madap tunnel. Though no police complaint has been lodged by MP Sule, the Khalapur police will be conducting further probe." Sachin Pawar, senior inspector of Khalapur, said, "The SUV that grazed MP Supriya Sule's car was driven by a resident of Gujarat, in which his friends were returning from Lonavala after a picnic. MP Sule was accompanied by her chauffeur and her personal assistant. After the mishap, the HSP cops detained the SUV driver and his friends. Taking suo motu cognisance of the offence, an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of BNS and Motor Vehicles Act against the SUV driver for rash and negligent driving causing damage to the vehicle of MP Supriya Sule." Poll What do you think is the main cause of traffic accidents?

‘Couldn’t buy flat in Bengaluru’: Founder says she bought 3-bedroom UK house on one person's salary

‘Couldn’t buy flat in Bengaluru’: Founder says she bought 3-bedroom UK house on one person's salary A Bengaluru-based entrepreneur has sparked a discussion on social media after sharing her experience of struggling to buy a home in India before eventually purchasing a three-bedroom house in the United Kingdom. Neha Sharma, an Amazon tech professional and founder of JSLovers, posted on X about the sharp contrast she experienced between the housing markets in Bengaluru and the UK. Her comments on affordability, transparency and alleged demands for “black money” during property deals in India quickly drew attention online. “In Bangalore, with 2 people's salary we had hard time to buy a flat (later we cancelled it),” Sharma wrote in her post. People also ask AI powered insights from this story The entrepreneur found it challenging to buy a flat in Bengaluru even with two incomes due to high property prices and potentially opaque dealings. In contrast, she was able to purchase a three-bedroom house in the UK within two years, citing a smoother and more transparent buying process. The entrepreneur highlighted that in the UK, there were no demands for 'black money' or unaccounted cash transactions, and the process was 100% transparent. She also mentioned receiving a 'first buyer' discount. One user pointed out that the UK typically requires a 5% down payment with a 5% interest rate, making it easier to buy.
