All right, let's get started now on our top story. The two shooters who were involved in the shooting that took place outside Salman Khan's residence on Sunday were arrested by the police yesterday from Gujarat. The Mumbai police has got custody of the shooters, now until the 25th of April. To reassure Salman Khan and his family, Chief Minister Ignat Shinde today visited the residence and spoke to him. Emerging from that meeting, the chief minister said that all the gangs and goons will be uprooted from Maharashtra. After a shocking shooting outside Salman Khan's house, the Maharashtra chief minister went to the actor's house in Mumbai to meet him. The visit came hours after the Mumbai police took the shooters in custody. 22 police teams across two states walked around the clock to nab Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, both from West Jaran in Bihar and allegedly linked to the notorious Lawrence Vishnu gang firing Khi ha around firing K US A. NBDY investigation conspiracy, both accused are in police custody to 25 April in court. The police said they need the two in custody to find the weapon believed to have been disposed of in Gujarat, identify the mastermind and the motive, probe international connections and investigate the Bishnu Gangs network across Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The police have confirmed that this was a premeditated act. The two had rented a house for three weeks in Panvel. The police are also trying to establish if they had plans to attack Salman Khan's farmhouse in Pan. This is not the first time that Salman Khan is under threat from Lawrence Vishnu gang members. With the arrest, the Mumbai police plans to unearth the broader network of Vishnu gang members and perhaps put an end to the unending threats Salman Khan and his family members have been receiving over the years with video journalist the Alker. This is Radhika Ramaswamy for ND TV. Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan spoke to ND TV where he said the Chief Minister had assured him that they will get protection till all these extortion attempts stop. Uh, Salim sa, thank you so much for speaking to ND TV. Um I want to understand from you. How was the meeting with the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde And the assurances that have been given, uh is the is the family hope happy now that this is, uh this is a good assurance. So has the family been receiving extortion calls? Also black and and And Salim Sam, what exactly were the concerns that were shared by your family with the Chief Minister, you know, and are you hopeful that everything will be peaceful now and the entire family will be safe? Or are there some fears? I mean that I started looking at ok and the family is feeling safe. Or is there a sense of insecurity in the family? Ok, so there is no sense of fear per SE now in the family. All right. Thank you so much for speaking to ND TV. Thank you. All right to talk more about the Salman Khan. This firing case We're joined by actor Nasir Abdullah and PK Jen, Former additional D GP of Maharashtra. Mr. Jen, first to you this You know this whole case involving Salman Khan? The threats have been going on for years. Then on Sunday, this firing taking place it really brings up the memories of the past in Mumbai when you did indeed have gang wars and many in Bollywood were threatened and extorted Nasar. Gargi. Thank you very much for inviting me to the show. I would like to tell you and assure you that the past days of Mafia and I agree long over. The entire clique was dismantled from 1997 onwards when we had got the better of them. Then Maharashtra government was the first government to enact the Maharashtra control of Organised Crime Act, which put the fear of God in the minds of most of the Gangsters and their and their leaders and their cheerleaders. So now you know, Mumbai has not seen this kind of activity over the last few years. I mean, this is right. Of course. The threats have been coming to Salman Khan. But even this particular case, the firing was done at five o'clock in the morning. Do you think that in anybody's right senses they were trying to target Salman Khan? It was only creating a F. Then it was put out a message to Salman Khan that this is just a trailer. The Chief Minister today, of course, reassuring the family and saying, you know there won't be any gangs and goon will uproot all of them. But this whole you know, we're told that it's Lawrence Bishnoi who we know is in Tihar jail and Goldie Bra, who are behind all these threats. Your comments on that? They have been claiming that they will eliminate Salman Khan for years now. It is almost four or five years that these threats are going on. There was an attempt made in the past also when somebody had come and done a wreck this time also. Now these are no. These guys have no criminal record. They have caught hold of guys who do not know anything about the crime and ABC of how to organise the shooting. Everything is fine that they went to. They hired a house there. They kept a watch on his farmhouse. They came to this place, wrecked the place. But the very act I mean, all these things are done in silence. They are done in under the laws of er. Now, suddenly somebody comes fires a few rounds at his house at five o'clock in the morning. That is only to send a message not only to him. I mean, this is only to start to my mind an extortion trail for other people like I just now heard Mr Salim Khan. He is very right. I mean, one person, one bigwig being threatened, and many other people fall prey to the extortion racket. And these people were probably they wanted to ride the wave of extortion, saying, It's a lot of a lot of bravado that they're trying to show here and make a big spectacle of these threats. To Salman Khan. Nasir Abdullah, your comments on this and this spectre of the Bombay of the past the Mumbai of the past with this Bollywood and, you know, the underworld threatening various actors. It just brings all those memories back. Yeah, I think I agree with Mr Jane in what he said, Um And, uh, but, uh, yeah, a long time ago. A lot of these famous film directors and the producers were an easy like a target and a prey. And, you know, a few of them escaped unhurt earlier on, but that was a long time ago, as has already been actually clarified. But I agree that this seems to be I mean, it could be anything. Frankly, it could be a rehearsal. It could be a warning. It could be informing the so called victim that we are We are heading for you et cetera. This hasn't happened for a long time now, so I don't know how it works. I mean it very odd this way that they have gone. But then there is no fixed way that assassins have to go about. Jen was saying they're really making a show of it. And this firing at, you know, 5 a.m. in the morning outside Salman Khan's house and then a threat, saying this is just a trailer. So they're really trying to make a show of it and perhaps create more fear in Bollywood. There is no hard and fast rule how they want to do it. They could have done it at at midnight, during a party happening at their house. There is no hard and fast rule. I'm I'm not a criminal, but I can understand that they don't have hard and fast rules. They can attack anybody, anywhere, any time. If they want to send a message, they will send a text. They will send a letter. God knows what. But this is just maybe I mean, it could just be anybody and anybody wanting to have fun and or just well, now they've arrested these two people. Is it reassuring that in a short span of time they managed to track these shooters in Gujarat to the village A temple? Apparently they were found hiding. I'm not sure about all this. Obviously, it's hard to tell. Often enough, the police have to find the nearest of the suspects, the usual ones or whatever. We don't know yet. They are saying they are saying that they have some clues that they were hanging around and they do this, but I don't understand. After all this hanging around, they shoot in the air at the wall and go away. Sounds very odd. They must have got the licence plate of the scooter or the motorcycle on which they came and then maybe able to trace them. And if they manage to do that, that means the criminals, whoever they are, are really nervous. And amateurs. The first thing you do is do not allow yourself to be traced, because there are cameras everywhere now, including the traffic lights. So they sound like pretty stupid guys to me. All right, well, we'll leave it there. Thank you. Yes, absolutely, as I said, reassuring that they have been caught within two days and also the chief minister. Visiting Salman Khan and his family is also very reassuring. Thank you so much both for joining us on the programme tonight.

I don't know if you saw his interview with NIG Oh, I don't know if you saw his face and his eyes You talking me out the people's corruption scandal on the planet. I'd be hungry to to to see who we immediately had got out of rupees by exporting them from India. Now a shocking statistic given India's battle against the bane of black money, the Election Commission has registered the highest ever seizure of inducements, which means both cash and drugs in the 74 year history of the looks of elections and elections haven't even begun. Even before the first phase of voting scheduled on April 19th, the Election Commission has registered the highest ever seizure of inducements in the 74 year history of looks about elections. According to the latest information available with the Election Commission between January 1st 2024 and April 1320 24 a total of more than 12,000 pro rupees has been seized so far. Compare this to the 3475 pro rupees seized during the entire election. In 2019 of the ₹12,000 crore seized this year, ₹7502 crore in the form of cash, liquor, drugs, precious metals and freebies were seized across the country in January and February ahead of the official announcement of elections. Drug seizures accounted for more than 75% of the total seizures made in January and February 2024. Between March 1 and April 1320 24 enforcement agencies have made record seizures in the form of cash, liquor, drugs, precious metals and freebies worth more than ₹4658 crore. Drugs and narcotics accounted for 45% of these seizures. In an official release, the Election Commission said use of black money over and above political financing and accurate disclosure thereof may disturb the level playing field in the favour of a more resourceful party or candidate in specific geographies, Election commission system, uh, election expenditure monitoring or political parties. It is the largest ever seizure made in the history of local elections. It is important to note that these record seizures have been made even before the voting process has started. There are around six weeks still left for the election process to get over clearly. As Election Commission prepares for the first phase of polls, it will also have to intensify its drive against the use of money power in the coming days to stop any kind of inducements to lure the Indian voter in election commission with Karan PAA him, Shekhar for TV, a tragic accident that took place in Jammu and Kashmir today. Marine commandos joined rescue operations to search for the missing in the boat tragedy in the Jam River in Srinagar, six people died. Five others were rescued. According to the district magistrate. They are ascertaining the exact number of people who were on the capsized boat and as of now the number that we know is 15 people. Among them seven miners who were on the boat, 12 were rescued, six died and six others are in hospital for treatment. As the stock markets continue to slide today and the rupee hit its weakest level ever, Sakshi Bajaj takes us through the details of the impact of the Iran Israel tension on the stock market, the currency and gold as well as oil prices. We have seen the markets consistently slide and the rupee weaken to an all time low on the Iran Israel tension. The nifty and the sex extended declines witnessed yesterday and the rupee weakened to a record low not only at open but also during trade in this afternoon. We have seen the dollar index surge as a safe haven bet which is hurting the rupees. So experts believe that just like gold, dollar is also seen as a safe haven bet and so therefore we are seeing this meltdown and this weakening for the rupee. Now gold and oil rates have been spiking on rising geopolitical concerns. Remember, we have seen consistent gains there for both gold as well as oil rates. So experts feel going forward we will see volatility in the near term due to the uncertainty and the rising geopolitical tensions across the board. And finally the final result of the civil services examination at 2023 were declared today. Lucknow's Aditya Shivas came all India first in these exams. Now, in an earlier attempt, he had made it to the IP S at the Indian Police Service and was actually is under undergoing training currently for the IP S. When he got the news that he had topped the UPS C exam well, he now joins us. Thank you so much, Aditya for speaking to TV and congratulations. It's one of the toughest exam processes the ups C so clinching a first is absolutely amazing. And to begin with a cliched question, how are you feeling? Uh, I would say that, uh, actually I took a bit of time to sink in, but, uh, once it sink in, then I was ecstatic. And then I would say that I went to the classes. So, uh, couldn't, uh, give much time to this feeling. Much time you got the news, and then you had to go in for your IP S training. Tell us about all the work that you put in. You got into the IPs till you attempted another. You know, you attempted it. Once again. You persisted with the UPC. I resigned from my job in 2020. After that, I started preparing for UPSC. It was in, uh, 2022 that I got into the Indian police service, and after that I persisted because, uh it was always a childhood dream as well as, uh, the kind of diversity that this job offers that attracted me towards the Indian administrative Service. All right, your family must be absolutely thrilled. And your advice to others who are preparing It's, uh, you know, really long and arduous journey. For most the UPSE exam, there's also a lot of heartbreak involved. I would say that, uh, consistency is the key, and the self motivation is something that, uh, one needs to inculcate in order to get through this examination uh, apart from that, I would say that having a distinct strategy and sticking to it is also necessary. All right. And finally, tell us, uh, what would you like to do in the administrative service? You must have had some ideas when you took these exams again and again. Something of, you know, idea of what you wanted to achieve. Ma'am, Uh, the most important thing would be, at least in the initial years, to implement to the best of my ability, whatever schemes the government is making for the people. And later on, when I get to that stage where I can make policies, then I would like to work on health education, especially for Children. So that would be what I would want to do with, uh, this posting. All right. ADSA vta. Wonderful to hear that. And all the very best. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Well, with that, that brings us to an end to the end of this bulletin. Thanks so much for watching goodbye.
