Mumbai: US-Based fan alleges Rs 50 lakh fraud by actor Sidharth Malhotra's fan page admins
Mumbai: A US-based fan of Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra, Minoo Vasudeva, has alleged that she lost Rs 50 lakh after being deceived by the administrators of a fan page for the actor. The admins, identified as Aliza and Husna Parveen, reportedly convinced Vasudeva that Malhotra's life was in danger and solicited financial aid to help him.
In a recent post on her ‘X’ handle @desi_girl334, Vasudeva claimed that the fan page admins told her that Malhotra's wife, Kiara Advani, had coerced the actor into marrying her by threatening his family and using black magic on him.
Vasudeva stated that one of the admins contacted her for financial assistance, allegedly with the help of Deepak Dubey, who posed as a PR team member, and Radhika, who claimed to be an informer from Advani’s team. Additionally, Vasudeva was asked to pay for insider information and weekly interactions with Malhotra, which she now believes were fabricated reasons to extort money from her.
In her post, Vasudeva shared screenshots of conversations with the fan page admins and demanded justice, along with a refund of the Rs 50 lakh she lost. Other fans of Malhotra have begun sharing her post and tagging the actor to draw his attention to the matter. As of now, Sidharth Malhotra has not responded, and Vasudeva has not confirmed whether she has approached the police regarding the incident.

Mangaluru Airport commences international cargo operations
Mangaluru (Karnataka) (PTI): Mangaluru International Airport has commenced international cargo operations from its integrated cargo terminal with flight IX 815 ferrying 2,522 kgs of fruits and vegetables to Abu Dhabi, officials said on Saturday.
The formal launch was done on Friday, in the presence of the AAHL Cargo team, the leadership team of the Mangaluru International Airport as well as representatives from Customs, Airlines - IndiGo and Air India Express - and Airport Security Group of CISF, they said.
This much anticipated development comes a little over a year after the airport started domestic cargo operations on May 1, 2023, officials said.
According to officials, the Commissioner of Customs on May 10 this year had appointed the airport as Custodian as well as a Customs Cargo Service Provider, green signaling the start of international cargo operations.
Working with regulatory authorities and airline partners, the airport, in the interim, vigorously pursued its status as Customs Cargo Service.
The start of international cargo operations will enable exporters from coastal Karnataka and Kerala and the hinterland to export perishables such as fresh fruits and vegetables, food, machine parts, textiles, shoes, tropical fish, frozen and dry fish, plastic coloring material and ship parts (propeller) in the form of belly cargo.
IndiGo and Air India Express with their connectivity will enable exporters to send cargo to Dubai, Doha, Dammam, Kuwait, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain.
On the domestic cargo front, the airport has done well in handling 3706.02 tonne of cargo in the first 11 months of its operation from May 1, 2023, during the financial year 2024-25.
The total domestic cargo handled included 279.21 tonne of inbound and 3426.8 tonne of outbound cargo. Interestingly, 95 per cent of the outbound domestic cargo was post-office mail, consisting of bank and UIDAI related documents such as credit/debit and Aadhaar cards, officials said.
