Kunal Kamra failed to appear before the Mumbai police on Saturday in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly passing a «traitor» jibe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, an official said. This is the third time Kamra has given police summons a miss, the official said. The Khar police booked Kamra on a complaint by Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel for allegedly making defamatory remarks against the deputy chief minister during a show. Kamra shot a video lampooning Shinde over the split in the Shiv Sena, and party workers later ransacked the studio and the hotel in which it is located on the night of March 23. The official said the Mumbai police asked Kamra to appear before it on April 5, issuing summons to him for the third time. Earlier this week, a team from the Khar police visited his residence in Mahim after he skipped the second summons.

«Only banking sector could give some support to the market to move further higher. So, it is going to be a range-bound kind of scenario for coming week on the downside 22,760 lower band and on the higher side 23,200 this could be the possible range for Nifty,» says Rajesh Palviya, Axis Securities. Where do you think we will open on Monday, given the kind of cut that we have seen today? Do you think we have completely digested this tariff news and Monday could be better looking for us because yesterday, we absorbed this shock quite well, and today we were spooked. So, do you think that is only because of how the global markets have performed and Monday could be better for us or do you believe that this is the start of another correction rally that we can expect to see going ahead? Rajesh Palviya: So, again, there would be impact of global cues definitely on the Monday opening. Looking at the setup, the weekly close is now below 20-day, 50-day moving average for Nifty. But on the other end, Bank Nifty is showing a different kind of scenario because Bank Nifty is quite stable and holding above all its near-term, short-term, as well as long-term moving averages. So here, we have strength.

As of Pulse's April 3 premiere, Netflix has not yet announced whether the series will be renewed for a sophomore season. That said, this does not necessarily mean cancellation, as per a report by Decider. Streaming services tend to study viewership patterns and audience response before renewing shows. Since Pulse left off with a number of unresolved character storylines and teased developments to come, a second season is still a good bet.

Dr Manmohan Singh Fellowships', a programme where 50 mid-level professionals with 10 years' experience in their respective areas will be selected every year and mentored by some senior party leaders for their political career and leadership-building. While party functionaries Praveen Chakravarty and K Raju said those who will be selected for the fellowship have to show full-time commitment to enter politics with an absolute conviction for secular, progressive politics, it remains to be seen how the Congress Party, NSUI and Youth Congress' activists, who slug it out on the streets without mentorships and fellowships, will respond to this latest in a series of novel experiments — an invite for lateral entries.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has started initial discussions with banks and global vendors to buy 4G and 5G network gear against letters of credit (LCs) instead of making full upfront payments, backed by the government's debt conversion. Switching back to an LC-based payments model with global vendors is likely to give Vi far more cash-flow flexibility and allow it to accelerate its 4G network expansion and 5G rollouts via bigger volume equipment purchases, multiple people aware of the discussions said. The telco needs to speedily expand its 4G services as it aims to narrow the network coverage difference with rivals Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, and stem rapid user losses.
