Actor Ranya Rao's Shocking Claims of Torture After Arrest

BENGALURU: Actor Ranya Rao has alleged custodial torture and wrongful implication in a gold smuggling case, claiming she was arrested directly from an aircraft rather than the airport terminal, as stated by authorities. In a letter to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), she detailed physical assault, denial of food and sleep, and coercion into signing blank documents. Her accusations follow a Bengaluru court's denial of her bail request, with the case prompting a political investigation into her stepfather, Karnataka's Director General of Police K Ramachandra Rao. Rao was apprehended on March 3 for allegedly smuggling over 14 kg of gold from Dubai, with the DRI estimating customs duty evasion at Rs 4.83 crore. The Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation have joined the probe, which has revealed connections to a larger smuggling syndicate. Authorities also found gold jewelry and cash at her residence, prompting further investigations into money laundering. sources

Pawan Kalyan: DMK Supports Hindi Dubbing of Tamil Films

NEW DELHI: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has responded to comments made by actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan regarding Tamil Nadu's stance on the language debate. Kalyan, the Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister, criticized Tamil Nadu politicians for opposing Hindi imposition while allowing Tamil films to be dubbed into Hindi for profit. DMK spokesperson Dr Syed Hafeezullah labeled Kalyan's argument as a "hollow understanding," asserting that the state does not oppose learning Hindi but resists its imposition. The DMK emphasized that Tamil Nadu has a long-standing commitment to a two-language formula, rooted in educational expertise, and has historically opposed Hindi since 1938. Senior DMK leader TKS Elangovan reiterated this position, accusing Kalyan of lacking knowledge about Tamil Nadu's politics. Meanwhile, the BJP supported Kalyan's remarks, advocating for a stronger promotion of Hindi as India's national language in southern states. sources

Scientists Reveal Method to Recycle 94% Plastic in 4 Hours

In a significant advancement in tackling the global plastic crisis, scientists have developed a novel method to decompose plastic waste using moisture from the air. This innovative process employs a cost-effective catalyst to break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the predominant plastic in the polyester family, into its fundamental building blocks, or monomers. These monomers can be recycled or upcycled into higher-value materials, offering a more sustainable alternative to existing recycling techniques. Published in *Green Chemistry*, the research highlights the method's safety, affordability, and environmental benefits, addressing the urgent need for improved plastic waste processing technologies. Northwestern's Yosi Kratish, a co-author of the study, emphasized the inefficiency of current recycling practices, which often result in lower-quality products. The solvent-free technique, which utilizes trace moisture, presents a practical solution to one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. sources
