SM Krishna’s son-in-law named in Panama Papers scam: S.R Hiremath
Hubballi, September 14: Social activist and senior advocate S.R Hiremath alleged that the name of Umesh Mohan Hingorani, the second son-in-law of former chief minister S.M Krishna, was mentioned in the Panama Papers which leaked the details of ill-gotten assets of noted personalities of the country and abroad.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Hiremath said that Umesh Mohan has invested illegally in England. He was an employee in UB Company and how did such a person get so much of money to invest in foreign country in the name of SDU Ventures? He has eight companies in his names and all the companies have Bengaluru address. He would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to conduct a high-level probe from an independent agency, he said.
When Umesh Mohan started his company in the foreign country, S.M Krishna was the Foreign Affairs Minister. So, it was a serious issue and the truth could come out from an impartial investigation. The names of many international leaders including former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and others were leaked. But he was shocked to see the name of Umesh Mohan in the list, he said.

Chinese man rejects rs 2 crore offer, lives in house surrounded by highway
Jinxi, China: A homeowner in Jinxi, a town southwest of Shanghai, has become the centre of attention after refusing to vacate his house for a motorway project. Workers built the highway around the property after he declined the government's compensation offer, transforming the house into a peculiar landmark.
Huang Ping, the owner of the two-storey house, was offered 1.6 million yuan (approximately Rs 1.9 crore) along with two properties, later increased to three. However, dissatisfied with the deal, he chose to stay. With the highway set to open in spring, Huang now lives at its centre, requiring passage through a large pipe to access the home.
Although Huang regrets the decision, calling it "a big bet" he lost, the house has become a local attraction. Residents and visitors frequently stop by to take pictures of the unusual setup.
To escape the noise and dust from construction, Huang and his grandson spend their days in the town centre, returning home only after work hours. There are concerns that the constant noise from the operational motorway will make peaceful living impossible.
The stubborn old Chinese man who refused to sell his house for a government project now regrets his decision.
