Actor Meghana Raj asks people not to spread fake news about Spandana's death
Bengaluru: Amidst circulating speculations regarding the untimely demise of Kannada film actor Vijay Raghavendra's wife, Spandana, film actor Meghana Raj has made a fervent appeal to the public to refrain from perpetuating unfounded rumors. Reports suggesting that Spandana suffered a heart attack due to rapid weight loss had been circulating, causing distress to the grieving family.
Meghana Raj, addressing the media after paying her respects to Spandana at her father BK Shivaram's residence, implored, “Vijay Raghavendra and Spandana are close to us. The family and the doctors who treated Spandana are well aware of the reason for her death, please do not spread rumors and false information on news channels and social media. Remember to respect the deceased soul.”
Sundar Raj, the father of Meghana Raj, also shared his concerns with the media, emphasizing, “Spandana's family is bereaved and overcoming the pain of separation. Under such circumstances, forcing them to also face fake news about Spandana would be unjust.”

Cong alleges its Rithala candidate 'assaulted' by EC official
New Delhi, Jan 26 (PTI): The Congress alleged Saturday its Rithala candidate Sushant Mishra was assaulted by a poll official, and demanded a thorough probe into the incident and action against him.
Party general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed Sushant Mishra was assaulted by an Election Commission of India official on Saturday.
He alleged the official also attempted to prevent Mishra from undertaking a Padayatra for which the Delhi Police had already given permission.
In a post on X, Ramesh said, "@sushant_m has been actively taking up violations of the Model Code of Conduct by other candidates in the ongoing Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections. This unprecedented and illegal act of partisanship by an official of a Constitutional body like the ECI can only be seen as a desperate attempt by the AAP and BJP to stem the surge of support for his candidacy and that of the Congress Party in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections"
Ramesh said the Congress remains undaunted and will continue to raise the voice of people and protect the sanctity of elections.
"To preserve the integrity of the electoral process, the Indian National Congress demands a full inquiry into the incident and immediate corrective action against the concerned official," the Congress leader demanded.
Mishra has also separately written to the returning office and Chief Electoral officer and the Election Commission about the incident, demanding action against the accused.
.@INCIndia के रिठाला विधानसभा के उम्मीदवार सुशांत मिश्रा (@sushant_m) पर कल @ECISVEEP के एक अधिकारी ने हमला करके उन्हें घायल कर दिया। अधिकारी ने उन्हें पदयात्रा करने से रोकने का भी प्रयास किया, जिसके लिए दिल्ली पुलिस ने पहले ही अनुमति दे दी थी।
