The big declaration of Lalit and Sushmita dating got mixed reactions and since then netizens have been trolling the couple and even circulating memes across social media.
First Sushmita broke her silence and got back at the trolls for calling her a ‘gold digger’, now it’s time for Lalit Modi to speak up and give an apt response to the trolls. The businessman wrote a long and heartfelt post on his Instagram account.
Let us break it to you in the following points:
1. Being trolled about tagging the wrong person
Lalit Modi took a dig at the media by stating that though he has tagged the right person in full consciousness when he posted his pictures with Sushmita on Instagram, why is it hell-bent to troll him for the post. He wrote,

3. Modi slammed the journalists for spreading fake news like Donal Trump and copying Arnab Goswami
He advised the media to live and let others live. He said,

He wrote about his wife Minal Modi and called her the love of his life and best friend. He also added that the media twisted the facts and spread the rumour that Minal was his mother’s friend. He added,

He thrashed the people who call him fugitive by saying that he has achieved much more in his life and for his country than anyone who has been calling him names. He also stated that he is a respectable man and has not been convicted by any court yet. He wrote on his Instagram,

7. Lalit boasts about founding IPLT20 alone and the BCCI didn’t believe his words and come forward to help
He wrote about how people mocked him when he proposed the idea of IPLT20 in 2008. He added,

8. He mentioned that he was born with a ‘Diamond Spoon’ who never had the need to take public money

He got back at the trolls by stating that the media should open their eyes. He added that when he joined BCCI, the fund in the bank was 40 crores but by the time he was banned it rose to Rs 47,680 crores (17 billion USD).
ITS TIME YOU WOKE UP – when I joined BCCI IT HAD 40 crores in the bank. I joined on my birthday nov 29 2005. Guess what was in the bank when I was BANNED – 47,680 crores – that 17 billion usd
Daylight robbery is not quite usual but it does not strike out the fact that it is highly possible. Many a time cases as such have surfaced online where normal people were robbed in broad daylight. Recently, the passengers in a taxi got robbed inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Four men rob taxi passengers at gunpoint in broad daylight and here is what Delhi Police have to say
On Saturday, a delivery agent and his associate were robbed at gunpoint by a group of unknown assailants, stealing around Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh cash from them. In spite of having 16 security guards in the Pragati Tunnel, there were no CCTV cameras installed. Although the Public Works Department assured that cameras are installed, they did not confirm their operational conditions.
The victims made a complaint at Tilak Marg police station later in the evening. The Pragati tunnel is a 1.5 km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida. The police said that following the complaint made by the victims, a case has been filed under Sections 397 IPC which covers robbery, or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt and 34 (common intention).
The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pranav Tayal, has shared that the complainant can be identified as Patel Sajan Kumar and his associate Jigar Patel. Patel Sajan works as a delivery agent for a private firm in Chandni Chow and has informed the police that he and Jigar were going to Gurugram to deliver the cash to a client.
As per the registered complaint, the two of them hired an Ola cab from near Red Fort. As soon as the cab entered the Pragati Maidan tunnel from Ring Road, four assailants on two motorcycles surrounded their cab and robbed the cash off them keeping them at gunpoint.
Delhi Minister Atishi also took to Twitter and slammed the incompetency of the Lieutenant Governor. She tweeted,
LG साहब: अगर आपको @ArvindKejriwal के कामों का क्रेडिट लेने से फ़ुरसत मिले तो कभी अपनी संवैधानिक ज़िम्मेदारी पर भी ध्यान दीजिए। दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देना आपका काम है। और अब दिन दहाड़े दिल्ली में चोरी, डकैती और क़त्ल की वारदातें हो रही हैं। या तो आप सुरक्षा की ज़िम्मेदारी लीजिए,… https://t.co/RG4c9ozWnW
Coming across train service complaints on social media is nothing new. Very often than not we find passengers complaining about bland food or bugs in the cooked food provided to them. Quite recently someone took to Twitter regarding a complaint where they found plastic in the railway food. But the latest thing that happened has actually stunned everyone when a video of the roof of a passenger coach train surfaced online.
Indian Railways slammed over water leakage in AC coach
Netizens have harshly criticized the poor management and maintenance of the train coaches after a surprising video surfaced online. Recently, a video went viral on social media platforms in which it can be clearly seen rainwater seeping in through the roof of the 2-tier AC coach of the Avantika Express. The Congress party also reshared the video uploaded by a passenger and took to Twitter to play the blame game immediately.
“काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता। झंडी दिखाने वाले रेल मंत्री अभी विदेश में हैं, नाम वाले रेल मंत्री ध्यान दें। (Wish some actual work would have been done for the Railways in place of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention)”
काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता।

It was a jab at the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who recently flagged off 11 Vande Bharat Express, the Railways’ newest hi-tech train.
