Rhea Chakraborty granted bail in drugs nexus case on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh

Rhea Chakraborty jail

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty has been granted bail today. She was jailed for allegedly buying drugs for her actor-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput.

Rhea was granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh. She was arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on September 8, on charges of being a part of a drug syndicate operating in Mumbai.

Her bail plea was rejected by the special court, following which she filed an appeal before the Bombay High Court. Since her arrest, Rhea has been in Byculla jail.

Her brother, Showik, was also arrested in the same drugs case but has not been granted bail. He too has denied the charges.

Rhea Chakraborty’s bail approval evoked reactions from several of her Bollywood friends. Celebs like Anubhav Sinha, Kanika Dhillon, Ali Fazal and Hansal Mehta tweeted their reaction.

The actress’s advocate Satish Maneshinde, meanwhile, said in a statement, “We are delighted by the order of the Bombay High Court granting bail to Rhea Chakraborty. Truth and justice have prevailed, and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Sarang V Kotwal.”

He also added, “The arrest and custody of Rhea was totally unwarranted and beyond the reach of law. The hounding and witch hunt by three central agencies, the CBI, ED and NCB, of Rhea should come to an end. We remain committed to truth. Satya Meva Jayate.”

However, after Rhea’s arrest, the country’s narcotics board also questioned other Bollywood actresses, including Deepika Padukone.

Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty began dating in 2019 summer and moved in together in December.

On 8 June, a week before Rajput’s death, Chakraborty went to stay with her parents and wasn’t home when the actor died.

Netflix indicted by Texas over screening of controversial film ‘Cuties’

Netflix indicted by Texas on Cuties

A call to boycott Netflix had sparked over the French coming-of-age drama Cuties (in French, Mignonnes), directed by Maïmouna Doucouré.

Cancel Netflix call had been launched on social media, over claims that its young stars were portrayed in a sexualized way.

However, Netflix has been indicted in the conservative US state of Texas for screening Cuties.

The streaming service became the subject of a grand jury hearing in Tyler County, east of Houston, in the middle of September, and a local elected official revealed Tuesday that the same jury issued an indictment.

The Texas grand jury indicted the streaming service under a law that forbids “the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of an unclothed, partially clothed or clothed child.”

A guilty verdict in Texas could lead to a prison term, although analysts said a fine and being forced to pull the film would be a more likely outcome.

The jury decided the film had “no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

Netflix defended the film. A spokesperson told that the movie is a “social commentary against the sexualization of young girls,” adding that the charge is “without merit.”

Moreover, Cuties earned director Doucoure an award at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival.

How to keep your WhatsApp chat private? Learn to change backup settings

WhatsApp private chats

WhatsApp, who usually works on various useful features, is much focused on its end-to-end encryption feature.

Data leaks, personal information transfer and other online scams are much common on WhatsApp.

Recent claims by users told that maybe private chats are not so private and almost 40 million users of WhatsApp are a little insecure.

WhatsApp later gave out a clarifying statement saying that only the receiver gets to see the sender’s message with its end-to-end encryption feature.

But in the same breath, the popular messaging app stated that the backups of these chats in cloud platforms, either Google Drive or iCloud, are not end-to-end encrypted and can be accessed or hacked into.

One method users can put to use if they are not very keen on storing their chat backups that can be accessed through the cloud, is to simply disable them thus enhancing their privacy.

WhatsApp gives its users the option to back up chats every day, every week, or every month locally. It asks users for a time and backs up the chats by default if there is a WiFi connection. Same goes for WhatsApp media files given that users have sufficient storage and battery life.

For cloud backups like Google Drive and iCloud, WhatsApp has backups linked to the user’s email account. Now, to disable this function, that is WhatsApp cloud backups, users can follow these steps:

To disable Google Drive Backups:

  1. Go to WhatsApp.
  2. Select the three dots on the right-hand side.
  3. Go to Settings > Chats > Chat backup
  4. Now, WhatsApp will show when it last saved the backups as well as on the cloud that is Google Drive.
  5. Select Back up to Google Drive from Google Drive Settings
  6. Select Never or Only when I tap “Back up” for manual settings

To disable chats backed up on iCloud follow these steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab at the bottom right corner.
  2. Select Chats option > Chat Backup
  3. Tap on Auto Backup
  4. Select Off

Users can always reverse the settings by enabling the chat backups if and when they feel the need to do so.
