  • Expert Stock Picks: HSBC, Morgan Stanley & Axis Capital Recommendations

    Expert Stock Picks: HSBC, Morgan Stanley & Axis Capital Recommendations

    Recently, some big brokerage firms shared their picks and opinions on popular stocks. Here’s what they had to say:

    HSBC and Titagarh Rail Systems:
    HSBC is feeling positive about Titagarh Rail Systems. They think it’s a good stock to buy. The price target is Rs 1,425, which is an 18% increase from the current price of Rs 1,205. Even though there have been some delays in their projects, the company has chances to win more contracts now that state elections are over.

    Morgan Stanley and IndusInd Bank:
    Morgan Stanley is being careful about IndusInd Bank. They say to hold it the same (called “equal-weight”) and have a target price of Rs 1,150, which is a 15% rise from the current price of Rs 996. However, the stock has lost 30% of its value recently due to worries about its microfinance loans and earnings expectations. While the situation isn’t entirely bad, they think there are safer options with other major banks.

    Axis Capital and Hindustan Unilever (HUL):
    Axis Capital is optimistic about Hindustan Unilever. They suggest adding it to your portfolio, with a price target of Rs 2,850, meaning you could see a 14% return from the current price of Rs 2,496. HUL keeps growing, having a strong reach with nearly 9 million stores. The company is aiming to grow its earnings significantly in the future, especially in its ice cream business, which has a lot of growth potential.

  • Bengaluru IT Worker Scammed for ₹8.1 Lakh by Fake Escort and Police

    Bengaluru IT Worker Scammed for ₹8.1 Lakh by Fake Escort and Police

    In a surprising turn of events in Bengaluru, a 29-year-old IT worker named Gautham (not his real name) was tricked into paying Rs 8.1 lakh (about $9,700) after trying to hire an escort online.

    The story began when Gautham found the number of a woman named Amrutha Gill on a website called massagerepublic.com. She called herself different names, like Roopa, Kushi, and Sonia, and agreed to meet him for three hours for Rs 15,000 (around $180).

    On November 29, Gautham booked a hotel room on Residency Road for their meeting, but when Roopa arrived at 6:15 p.m., he noticed she looked much older than the 18 she had claimed. He paid her Rs 16,000, which included Rs 1,000 for her cab ride, using a payment app.

    Things quickly took a strange turn. Roopa suddenly claimed to be an undercover police officer and threatened to arrest Gautham. Shortly after, he received a WhatsApp call from a man named Hitesh Kumar, who said he was an IPS officer and Roopa’s partner. The man claimed Gautham was under “digital arrest” and demanded Rs 10 lakh (around $12,000) to avoid being taken away.

    Scared, Gautham told him he didn’t have that much money, but the fake officer threatened to drag him to the police station. Roopa then took Gautham’s credit card and used it to steal Rs 8.1 lakh by sending it to different bank accounts in several payments.

    The extortion went on until about 8:30 p.m. When Gautham suggested going to the police to sort things out, Roopa followed him to the hotel reception. He explained everything to the hotel staff and asked them to call the police. Before they could, Roopa panicked, ran out, and even tried to escape by claiming Gautham mistreated her.

    As police arrived, she pretended to faint but was quickly caught. Officers helped Gautham contact Niftystat to freeze the accounts linked to the scam.

    Later, they discovered Roopa’s real name was Pooja, and she was actually 31 years old, according to her Aadhaar card. She was arrested and taken into custody.

    The revenue for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) decreased by 5.6% to £6.5 billion because of temporary supply issues. This also caused the company’s profit margins to fall by 220 basis points to 5.1%.

For passenger vehicles, revenue dropped by 3.9%, but the profit margin remained steady at 6.2% due to cost-saving measures and better sales mix.

    On Friday, Tata Motors’ shares closed at Rs 786.80, increasing by 0.9%. This was better than the Sensex index, which went up by 0.96%. Despite a drop of 30% in the last three months, the stock has grown by 82% over the last two years. Tata Motors has a market cap of Rs 2,89,638 crore.

    Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter: A Controversial Move Explained

    On December 1, President Joe Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, lifting tax and gun-related charges against him. This came even after Joe had previously promised not to get involved with the Justice Department’s work.

    Hunter Biden’s pardon covers any offenses from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024. After the pardon, his legal team released a document saying these legal issues were politically motivated, meant to attack Joe Biden during his presidential campaign.

  • Abhishek Bachchan’s Funny Advice Amid Aishwarya Divorce Rumors

    Abhishek Bachchan’s Funny Advice Amid Aishwarya Divorce Rumors

    Abhishek Bachchan recently made a funny comment that has caught a lot of attention: “Married men should always listen to their wives!” This advice went viral just when rumors were swirling about his marriage to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan facing some trouble.

    At a recent event, Abhishek was asked how he manages to give such great performances in his films. He simply replied that it’s not just him; he does what the directors tell him, works quietly, and then goes home. When the host joked that this sounded like a husband obeying his wife, Abhishek laughed and said, “Yes! All married men need to do that. Just do what your wife says!”

    This humorous remark comes at a time when people are speculating that Abhishek and Aishwarya may be having some issues in their marriage. The gossip got louder when the couple attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding but didn’t pose for pictures together. Recently, Aishwarya shared photos from her daughter Aaradhya’s birthday party but didn’t include Abhishek or any other members of the Bachchan family. Observers on social media noted that both Aishwarya and Abhishek were seen without their wedding rings.

    Adding to the buzz, none of the Bachchan family members posted birthday wishes for Aishwarya when she turned 51. Although Abhishek dismissed the divorce rumors, Aishwarya has remained quiet. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek’s father, also touched on the situation through his blog. He asked the media to stop spreading rumors about his family. He said, “I don’t talk much about my family because we value our privacy. Speculation is just that—speculation. They should verify their claims before spreading them. I appreciate the work of journalists, but rumors can be harmful.”

  • Cyber Police Arrest Kalyan Roy for Rs 2.66 Lakh Parcel Scam

    Cyber Police Arrest Kalyan Roy for Rs 2.66 Lakh Parcel Scam

    In the South East District, the Cyber Police have arrested a fraudster named Kalyan Roy, who lives in Thakurmura village, Tripura, near the Bangladesh border. They found him with Rs 2.40 lakh (240,000 rupees) that he had scammed from a victim.

    Kalyan Roy tricked a man named Sunil Verma into believing he was getting gifts from a foreign woman he met on Facebook. In September 2021, Sunil started chatting with an American woman who claimed she was sending him gold, mobile phones, and money through a courier. The woman asked Sunil to accept these items for her.

    In October 2021, Sunil received a call from someone claiming to be a delivery person, saying that a package with expensive gifts was waiting for him at the courier office. This caller asked Sunil to pay a fee to get the package. Believing it was real, Sunil paid a total of Rs 2,66,500 (266,500 rupees) into a bank account given by the scammer. Unfortunately, after paying, the caller stopped answering.

    Sunil filed a complaint at the police station, and the Cybercrime unit began investigating. After a lot of work, they found out that Kalyan Roy was behind the fraud. The police raided his village over three days and finally arrested him.

    During questioning, Kalyan admitted he worked with friends to scam people by pretending to send fake parcels. He said he did this to make money quickly. So far, there are no signs of previous crimes against him. More investigation is still happening, and more information will come soon.

  • Bengaluru Faces Heavy Rainfall as Cyclone Fengal Approaches

    Bengaluru Faces Heavy Rainfall as Cyclone Fengal Approaches

    Bengaluru and nearby areas in South Interior Karnataka are getting ready for heavy rain on December 2, 2024. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that this rain could be very intense and might cause some issues. This weather is mainly because of cyclone Fengal, which hit the Tamil Nadu coast on the night of November 30.

    As for schools in Bengaluru, there hasn’t been any official announcement about closing them yet. For now, schools and colleges will be open as usual. Many people on social media are asking for schools to close. One concerned parent mentioned, “Why hasn’t the government declared a holiday for schools? It’s horrible weather.” Another user tweeted, “Please declare a holiday today for schools in Bengaluru. It’s raining a lot, and we’re scared to send our kids to school.”

    The heavy rain in Bengaluru is linked to the cyclonic storm. According to the weather experts, this storm will move west-northwest and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area over north interior Tamil Nadu within the next six hours. This low-pressure area will then move out to the Arabian Sea near the north Kerala-Karnataka coasts around December 3.

    Kerala is also preparing for heavy rains. The IMD has warned that extremely heavy rainfall is expected in Kerala and Mahe, and they are advising people to stay safe. Besides Bengaluru, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal are also on alert for very heavy rainfall. The coastal areas of Karnataka and the Rayalaseema region are expected to receive heavy showers too.
