Nirav Modi’s 58-feet tall effigy to be burnt on Holi
Mumbai: In a unique way to vent out their ire against PNB scam accused NIrav Modi, the residents of BDD Chawl in Mumbai's Worli area have created a 58-feet high effigy of the accused, symbolising the evil character of Holika, to burn it as a part of the Holi festival's tradition.
The residents have said the effigy was not created by any ace artist, but was made by the residents themselves.
The Mumbaikars have also considered the environmental factor in mind and have made the giant structure by using less wood and more of dry grass.
Organisers also claimed that it is the highest Holi replica in India this year.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
