New Delhi: Bollywood actors Govinda, Shakti Kapoor and Chunky Panday, along with BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, have been named in an alleged investment fraud case linked to a Ghaziabad-based company, Maxizone Touch Private Limited, according to reports.
An FIR has been registered after several investors accused the company of cheating them through a fake investment scheme. As per a report by Deccan Herald the alleged fraud amounts to Rs 25 lakh, and is linked to a bigger investment and cryptocurrency fraud worth Rs 600 crore.
The FIR was filed on the basis of a complaint by one of the duped investors Jaspal Singh. The complaint stated that the investors were assured of a 15% dividend on investment, but they neither got any interest nor the principal amount.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
