Bollywood vs Mahesh Babu, Rahul Gandhi garland controversy, Mohali blast, more

Mahesh Babu, in a recent media interaction at the trailer launch of Adivi Sesh's Major, opened up about making his debut in Bollywood. He revealed that the Hindi film industry 'cannot afford him', so he wouldn't waste time in doing a Hindi film.

On the other hand, the BJP on Tuesday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting Mahatma Gandhi by refusing to wear a garland made of cotton threads offered to him by Gujarat Congress leaders at the Vadodara airport and “discarding” it.

Meanwhile, in the probe into the attack on Punjab Police’s intelligence unit headquarters in Mohali, a rocket launcher has been recovered from a site located around 1 km from the Intelligence Bureau building. On Monday night, an RPG was fired at the Intelligence Wing headquarters of the Punjab Police in Mohali, triggering a blast that shattered windows and caused a portion of the false ceiling to collapse on impact. No injuries or casualties were reported.
