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.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
