Bengaluru: Lavanya Ballal Jain, a spokesperson for the Congress party, has become the target of online trolling after a heated TV debate with BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla. The incident occurred during a live interview where Poonawalla made comments on Jain's name, leading to a sharp exchange between the two.

Lavanya Ballal Jain took to social media to express her displeasure, accusing Poonawalla of insulting her name and religion during the TV interview. She referred to the BJP spokesperson as a 'cheapster' and urged him to refrain from making vulgar comments during interviews. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Jain claimed that Poonawalla was on the payroll of one of the richest Jain individuals, indirectly alluding to Gautam Adani.

The controversy escalated when Shehzad Poonawalla posted a video clip of the TV interview on his social media account, questioning why Jain was triggered by his factual statements. The video showed Poonawalla discussing developmental projects by the Centre in southern states and challenging Jain on Congress's contributions to development.

During the debate, Poonawalla mockingly referred to Lavanya Ballal Jain as 'Lavanya BJ,' leading to a sharp retort from Jain. She demanded that Poonawalla refrain from making vulgar inferences and accused him of insulting her name with sly and derogatory comments.

Following the TV debate, Lavanya Ballal Jain faced online trolling and derogatory remarks on social media platforms, particularly on X, where the hashtag #LavanyaBJ gained traction. The hashtag contains a derogatory term, further intensifying the online attacks against the Congress spokesperson.

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.

The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.

"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.

The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.

There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.

Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.

The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
