Hyderabad, May 14: Fight Master Sundar has lodged a complaint with the CID police against film producer Natti Kumar who has recently turned a witness of the police in the land settlement cases against Bhanu kiran, the alleged killer of faction leader Maddelacheruvu Suri. In his complaint, Sundar has charged Natti Kumar of collecting Rs. One crore from him, threatening in the name of Bhanu Kiran. However Natti Kumar has denied the allegation and said he was ready for any punishment if this allegation against him was proved. He has dismissed as a drama being enacted by producer C Kalyan, who indulged in several deals with Bhanu Kiran. He said facts would soon be known. It may be mentioned here that Natti Kumar made some very serious allegations against producer C Kalyan at a press conference. He has charged Kalyan of being the benami of Bhanu. He has also alleged that Bhanu has invested all his illegal earnings through Kalyan in the film industry. He has objected to Kalyan being continued in the Producers Council in view of the criminal cases lodged against him. He said industry big wigs like Dasari Narayana Rao should expel people like Kalyan from the film industry. However, there was no response from either Dasari Narayana Rao or other leaders of the film industry on Natti Kumar’s demands. It may be mentioned that Kalyan was seen moving closely with Dasari when the latter attended the premier show of Gabbar Singh recently.
Hyderabad, May 14: CBI which was entrusted with the duty of serving summons on the YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in the assets case, has on Monday succeeded in handing over them, directing him to appear before the Special Court here on May 28. The CBI special court which has accepted the first charge-sheet of the CBI in which Jagan, his deputy Vijaya Sai Reddy and eleven others were named accused, has issued summons for them to appear before it on May 28. The court has also given the agency the responsibility of serving the summons on all the accused individually. As Jagan has been moving about in his hectic election campaign, CBI had a tough time catching up with him. On Sunday, a two-member team was dispatched to Kurnool where the Kadapa MP was touring, to serve the summons. The officers have found him in the residence of party leader Chennakesava Reddy in Yemmiganur and served the summons on him on Monday morning. As per the summons, Jagan has to appear before the CBI special court at 1030 am, on July 28. Though the Lotus Pond residence of Jagan was mentioned as his address in Hyderabad, CBI wanted to serve the summons on Jagan personally and finally succeeded in handing over the papers to him. CBI sleuths who reached Yemmiganur on Sunday itself, have waited till Monday morning as Jagan was in the midst of people, addressing election rallies. On Monday morning they went to Chennakeshava Reddy’s house looking like ordinary civilians and then identified themselves before serving the summons. Speculations are rife if Jagan would be arrested on the day he appears before the court. Though no one has any inkling of what would happen on the day he appears before the court, YSR Congress leadership appears to be prepared for that eventuality. It is learnt that Jagan has informed his top aides that his mother Vijayamma would continue the election campaign, if he was arrested and has requested them to guide her. Jagan’s associates are stating that arrest of their leader would mean sympathy for the family and a doom for the Congress party.
Interestingly, Power star Pawan Kalyan and his ardent fan actor Nitin have broke their flop jinx in the same year. Nitin has hit bull's eye with Ishq early this year which earned around 10 crores share in full run. He tasted this success after a flop streak of fourteen flops. Even his favorite hero Pawan Kalyan hasn't delivered a blockbuster since Kushi. Although Jalsa was a hit, it was not up to Pawan Kalyan standards. Gabbar Singh has finally ended the blockbuster drought for Pawan Kalyan. Gabbar Singh is poised to break so many records as per early estimates. It has already broken the first day records and is all set to break first week records. If the film can maintain the same tempo in its second week, then all time records will be under serious threat. 2012 has been the year of comebacks so far. After Nitin with Ishq and Ram Charan with Racha it is Pawan Kalyan's time to rule the box office. Let's hope good times continue for these heroes and other heroes that are suffering with flops come into form too.

Karimnagar, May 10 (INN): Bharatiya Janata Party senior leader Ch Vidyasagar Rao on Thursday slammed the Central Bureau of Investigation for freezing the bank accounts of Sakshi newspaper and TV channel, owned by Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, in connection with disproportionate assets case.
Talking to media persons, Vidyasagar Rao said that the CBI's move would affect the livelihood of thousands of employees and their family members. He demanded that the CBI immediately defreeze the accounts considering their livelihood.
He said that the probing agency should find other alternative ways to investigate into the alleged investments in Jagathi Publications Limited without affecting the employees' livelihood.
The BJP leader appealed to the Centre and Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to intervene on the issue and direct the CBI to defreeze bank accounts of Sakshi group.
He said that the government should take up responsibility of protecting the interest and welfare of employees working in the Sakshi group.

HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh government has stopped all its advertisements to the Sakshi newspaper and television channel owned by YSR Congress party leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
The government asked all departments, agencies, public sector undertakings, corporations and organisations to stop releasing advertisements and notifications to Sakshi as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against the media house.
An order to this effect was released Wednesday night by the general administration department.
The move came two days after the CBI froze the bank accounts of Jagati Publications, which publishes the Telugu daily, Indira Television, which runs the 24-hour news channel, and Janani Infrastructure firm.
Eleven current accounts of these companies that together had Rs.10.31 crore and fixed deposits of Rs.103 crore were seized by the CBI as part of the investigation into the alleged illegal assets of Jaganmohan Reddy, the son of late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
The companies owned by the Kadapa MP have already challenged the CBI action. They alleged that the freezing of accounts had virtually paralysed the daily and the TV channel and put at stake the future of 20,000 employees.
The newspaper and channel were launched in 2008 when YSR, as Rajasekhara Reddy was popularly known, was the chief minister. A government order was also issued on April 24, 2008 permitting the commissioner information and public relations to issue advertisements to Sakshi while relaxing certain conditions.
Jagan has already described the CBI action as a conspiracy against him and an attack on the freedom of press. The management of Sakshi said the freezing of bank accounts would badly affect its functioning.
It pays a monthly salary of Rs.8 crore to its employees and incurs Rs.35 crore a month as operational expenditure, Rs.20 crore a month on newsprint and Rs.7 crore on administrative overheads.
The freezing of bank accounts has come under flak from journalist unions. They staged protests in different parts of the state and submitted a memorandum to Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan seeking his intervention.
The Indian Newspaper Society (INS) has also condemned the CBI action saying this could lead to abrupt stoppage of the newspaper and render over 10,000 employees jobless.
The CBI, which booked Jagan and 72 others last year following direction from the Andhra Pradesh High Court, has filed three chargesheets against him, his companies, close aides and firms that invested in his businesses.
While taking cognisance of the first chargesheet, the CBI court has issued summons to Jagan and 12 others to appear in the court on May 28.
The investigating agency claims that the investments into Sakshi and other companies owned by the MP were made in return for the favours doled out to the investors by YSR on quid-pro-quo basis.
The freezing of bank accounts and stoppage of government advertisements came at a time when ruling Congress, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress are gearing up for June 12 by-elections to the Nellore Lok Sabha and 18 assembly seats.
