New Delhi, Aug 7 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his anguish over the death of DMK President M. Karunanidhi.

In a series of tweets, Modi said: "Deeply saddened by the passing away of Kalaignar Karunanidhi. He was one of the senior most leaders of India.

"We have lost a deep-rooted mass leader, prolific thinker, accomplished writer and a stalwart whose life was devoted to the welfare of the poor and the marginalized.

"Kalaignar Karunanidhi stood for regional aspirations as well as national progress. He was steadfastly committed to the welfare of Tamils and ensured that Tamil Nadu's voice was effectively heard," Modi said.

Modi said he had the opportunity of interacting with Karunanidhi on several occasions. "His understanding of policy and emphasis on social welfare stood out. Firmly committed to democratic ideals, his strong opposition to the Emergency will always be remembered."

Greater Noida: The Bisrakh Police have arrested Rahul Chaturvedi, an IIM graduate, for allegedly duping over 20 women across Delhi-NCR by luring them into romantic relationships through fake profiles on matrimonial websites. Chaturvedi, hailing from Lucknow's Sahara Building, posed as a high-ranking executive to gain the trust of his victims, swindling them out of money and valuable items.

Operating under false identities, Chaturvedi used matrimonial sites like Jeevansathi.com and Better Half, presenting himself as an HR Regional Manager at Wipro. He extorted expensive items, including iPhones and cash, by promising marriage to his victims. One woman filed a complaint after losing Rs 2 lakh and an iPhone to him, leading to his arrest.

During interrogation, Chaturvedi admitted to scamming at least 20 women, using forged salary slips to bolster his claims of affluence. The police are investigating further to identify additional victims.
