New Delhi: Social media influencer Dhruv Rathee has sharply criticised the Supreme Court’s decision to direct entrepreneur Ranveer Allahbadia to deposit his passport at the Thane police station, calling it the "height of stupidity."

Rathee questioned whether Allahbadia was being treated like a criminal, amid ongoing legal proceedings.

The Supreme Court’s order comes after controversy surrounding the show 'India’s Got Latent,' hosted by comedian Samay Raina, in which Allahbadia's involvement has sparked significant backlash.

Hyderabad (PTI): Two forest officials were caught red-handed on Thursday for allegedly taking Rs 3.5 lakh bribe in Bhadradri Kothagudem district, the Telangana ACB said.

S Sujatha, Forest Divisional Officer, Bhadrachalam and B Krishna, Deputy Range Officer of Tegada, were caught by the ACB while they demanded and accepted an illegal gratification of Rs 3.5 lakh from a complainant at the Forest Divisional office, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) said in a release.

The bribe was demanded "for not registering cases against the complainant for allegedly causing damage to forest trees, while laying 2 km BT road from Pusuguppa village, Charla mandal in Bhadradri Kothagudem district to the Chattisgarh broder which was completed in 2025, and also not to disturb the complainant in his present and future works," it said.

The accused officers had initially demanded Rs 10 lakh bribe, and subsequently, on the request of the complainant, they reduced the bribe demand to Rs 3.5 lakh, the ACB alleged, adding that the tainted currency was recovered from the accused.

The accused officers performed their duties "improperly and dishonestly" to obtain undue advantage, the ACB said. The case is under investigation.
