Justice Delayed? Sushant Singh Rajput’s Family Challenges CBI’s Closure Report, Seeks Answers! | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 October 23, 2025

written by jummy84

After over four years of probe, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has found that there is no evidence of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput having been illegally detained, intimidated, or incited to kill himself by Rhea Chakraborty or anyone else. The agency’s closure report, seen by Hindustan Times, also found no evidence of financial misappropriation or diversion of Sushant’s property by Rhea or her family.

The CBI noted that even Sushant had addressed Rhea as “family” when they were together, according to officials privy to the report. The report mentioned, “None of the accused persons had lived or stayed with him between June 8, 2020, and June 14, 2020—the day he was found hanging in his Bandra flat.” The report added further that though Sushant was in contact with Rhea’s brother Showik Chakraborty on WhatsApp on June 10, he did not have any contact with Rhea at that time. His sister Meetu Singh was with him from June 8 to June 12, two days prior to his passing.

The report rejects charges of wrongful confinement, coercion, or financial exploitation. The report also makes it clear that Rhea and Showik walked out of Sushant’s house on June 8 with just personal items—an Apple laptop and a watch presented by Sushant. The report categorically mentions, “No evidence has emerged of any property dishonestly taken out of Sushant’s possession.”

The CBI probe included two concurrent cases — one by Sushant’s father, K.K. Singh, in Patna against abetment and financial irregularities, and another filed by Rhea against Sushant’s sisters in Mumbai. The investigators concluded that Sushant’s affairs were taken care of by his chartered accountant and attorney, who had complete control of his accounts. The report further added that cost incurred for Rhea, including the 2019 European tour of the couple, was within rules and done willingly by Sushant.

But Sushant’s family has disputed the CBI findings, terming the report as incomplete and misleading. Their attorney, Advocate Varun Singh, remarked, “This is nothing but an eyewash. If CBI really wanted to come out with the truth, it would have submitted all supporting case documents including chats, technical records, statements, and medical reports.” He further said that the family will seek a protest petition against what they term as a “shoddy investigation.

The case, which had sparked nationwide outrage and political debates between Bihar and Maharashtra, will next be heard on December 20, when a Patna court reviews the CBI’s closure report. Despite the agency’s conclusion, Sushant’s family insists they will continue their fight for what they believe is long-overdue justice.

Tennessee heart transplant surgeon shares ‘1 vital sign doctors never measure but your phone does every day’

Taking a walk while enjoying your favourite music or podcast can be a great experience, but can it really improve your health? The truth is, even small lifestyle changes, such as walking a little more each day, have the potential to have a big impact on your health. In fact, your daily step count is a vital sign of overall health. Also read | Walking 10,000 steps every day?Fitness expert says avoid these 10 common walking mistakes that limit its benefits

Dr Dmitry Yaranov said we measure pulse, breathing, temperature, and blood pressure — but the most powerful signal of all might be hiding in your phone. Find out what it is.(Freepik)

Dr Dmitry Yaranov, a cardiologist from Tennessee, US, who is known as ‘Heart transplant Doc’ on Instagram, highlighted this in an October 22 Instagram post and said, “We measure pulse, breathing, temperature, and blood pressure — but the most powerful signal of all might be hiding in your phone.”

Your daily step count is ‘an X-ray of your heart’

In his post titled ‘The vital sign your doctor never measures but your phone does every day’, Dr Yaranov spoke about the importance of daily step count as a vital sign, stating it’s an indicator of overall health, reflecting heart, brain, nerves, joints, and motivation.

He said: “Your daily step count isn’t just about fitness. It’s an X-ray of your heart, brain, nerves, joints, and motivation — all working together. When your steps drop, it’s rarely random. It’s your body whispering that something’s off.”

‘Movement is medicine’

Dr Yaranov suggested that a drop in step count can be an early warning sign of underlying issues like frailty, depression, or vascular disease. He added that step count could be considered the fifth vital sign, and that movement is medicine. Body vital signs are basic measurements of the body’s essential functions, including temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.

“Frailty, depression, vascular disease — they all leave footprints in your step data. It’s the only ‘vital sign’ that reflects both biology and willpower. Maybe it’s time to admit: movement is medicine. And your step count might just be your fifth vital sign,” he said.

Increasing your daily step count may seem overwhelming or time-consuming, but with a few simple lifestyle changes and modifications, you can reach your fitness goals easily. Click here to check out some tips to increase your step counts.

Ben Simmons’ Sister Olivia Mocks Kendall Jenner In Viral TikTok | Glamsham.com

written by jummy84

Olivia Simmons, sister of NBA star Ben Simmons, recently shared a snarky TikTok video in which she took aim at his former girlfriend, model Kendall Jenner. In the clip, Olivia recalls a game night where they played Cards Against Humanity and Jenner announced she’d bake cookies, but according to Olivia, it didn’t go well. She mocked Jenner for attempting to cut ready-made dough unevenly and referenced a past viral moment in which Jenner awkwardly sliced a cucumber.

“I have never seen so many uneven cookies,” Olivia says in the video. “You rich b****. If you don’t call your chef to come and cook these cookies for you?” She went on to label the Kardashian-Jenner family as “weird b****es.”

The video has stirred a mixed reaction online. Some viewers found it entertaining, but many criticized Olivia for what they viewed as an unnecessary and mean-spirited dig at Jenner over something trivial. One commenter wrote: “This is so weird of you” and another added: “Bullying is so normalized.”

Neither Kendall Jenner nor Ben Simmons publicly responded to the post yet. The relationship between Kendall and Ben was short-lived, dating from 2018 to 2019, and both have moved on in their careers and personal lives.

Regardless of intent, Olivia’s TikTok has reignited interest in the Jenner-Simmons past and raised questions about how feuds between celebrity families are shared and perceived in the social-media age.

Cardiothoracic surgeon says ‘every minute without defibrillation drops survival by about 10%,’ explains how AEDs work

by jummy84 October 23, 2025

written by jummy84

Defibrillators are life-saving devices designed to restore the heart’s normal rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest. They are widely available in schools, airports, gyms, and public spaces – but despite their accessibility, most people don’t know how to use them. However, even basic knowledge and quick action in an emergency can make the difference between life and death.

Dr Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon with more than 25 years of clinical experience, is raising awareness about the crucial role defibrillators play in saving lives during sudden cardiac arrests. In an Instagram video shared on October 22, the cardiologist breaks down how defibrillators work, emphasising that swift action during a sudden collapse can be lifesaving.

How does AED work?

According to Dr London, an AED, or automated external defibrillator, is a simple device commonly found in airports, gyms, schools, and other public spaces – yet most people pass by without a second thought. In critical moments, however, knowing how to use one can literally be the difference between life and death.

The cardiologist explains, “An AED doesn’t restart the heart like you see in the movies. It works by delivering a quick electrical shock that depolarises the heart muscle, stopping the chaotic rhythm just long enough for the heart’s natural pacemaker to reset and start beating normally again. It’s used for sudden cardiac arrest when the heart’s electrical system goes haywire and stops pumping blood.”

Knowing how to use AED can save lives

Dr London highlights that time is of the essence when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest, hence every second matters. He stresses, “Every minute without defibrillation drops survival by about 10%. The good news, AEDs are fully automated and talk you through each step, where to place the pads, when to stand clear, and if a shock is actually needed.”

You don’t need to be a doctor to use an AED – “You just have to know where the AED is and have the courage to actually use it. Because when someone collapses, seconds matter. And you might be the one who saves their life,” emphasises Dr London.

Hollywood actress Dakota Johnson is no stranger to making headlines with her daring fashion statements, particularly her love for see-through dresses. In a recent interview with Vogue Germany, the 50 Shades of Grey star candidly discussed her fearless style and the confidence that fuels it.

When asked whether she ever worries about her “naked dresses” being too revealing or “too sexy,” Johnson replied without hesitation, “I really don’t care.” She went on to explain that her clothing choices are guided by how she feels, not by external opinions. “I’ve been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them,” she said, as reported by People.com.

The actress, who has frequently appeared on red carpets in sheer and figure-hugging ensembles, shared that not every outfit works for her. “It depends on the shape, the finish, the color, and everything else. So if I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it’s fun to wear a sexy dress.”

Johnson also credited her confidence and comfort in her own skin to her mother, actress Melanie Griffith. Growing up, Johnson said she benefited from her mother’s openness about body image and self-love.

She emphasized how essential that message is for young girls, especially in a society constantly pressuring them to be more or less than who they are.

“If you’re not told from a young age by the woman you look up to that you’re perfect, smart, special, strong, and brave, it can really break you,” she added. “That was a huge gift she gave me.

The Shocking Truth: Lee Jung Jae’s Name Used In Online Scam! | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 October 23, 2025

written by jummy84

Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae has achieved global stardom in recent years, but with fame comes a darker side — impersonation scams. A recent report from South Korean news outlet JTBC revealed a disturbing case where a woman in her 50s was swindled out of 500 million KRW (approximately $350,000 USD) by someone pretending to be the renowned actor.

According to the report, the victim, referred to as Ms. A, was contacted through social media by an individual claiming to be Lee Jung Jae. Posing as a friendly communication attempt with fans, the scammer used fake images, including AI-generated photos supposedly from the filming of Squid Game Season 3 and doctored pictures taken at airports. A counterfeit ID card was also shown to make the deception more convincing.

Ms. A believed she had struck up a real relationship with the star and was flattered by the impersonator’s affectionate language, referring to her as “honey” and “darling.” The scam escalated when the fraudster requested 6 million KRW as a fee to arrange a private meeting with the actor. Over the next six months, Ms. A was manipulated into transferring around 500 million KRW in total.

This case is part of a troubling trend in the K-pop and K-drama industry, where fans are frequently targeted by scammers pretending to be celebrities. Entertainment agencies have strongly condemned such fraudulent activities and are pursuing legal action against the perpetrators. However, Lee Jung Jae’s team has not yet commented on this particular incident.

On the professional front, Lee Jung Jae is set to appear in Nice to Not Meet You opposite The Glory star Lim Ji Yeon. He also recently made his Hollywood debut in The Acolyte and was seen at an event in Saudi Arabia alongside Mr. Beast and Shah Rukh Khan.
