Star Plus TV Network and sponsors Amul India jointly cheat Pakistani winners of music show

| Pakistani joint winner of Amul Chote Ustad still awaits his prize money from Star Plus
| Indian partner of the winning duo gets fully paid while Pakistani joint winner still getting no response
| The fraud took place right in front of top Indian Showbiz personalities and TV audience of millions
| Distressed teen moves Pak government through attorney to seek justice from Indian TV Channel

If Pakistan and Indian Tennis duo has emerged as big success for both the countries in the world of Tennis, then at the same the experiment has not been of a very good taste for Pakistanis when it comes joint ventures with the Indians in the field of Showbiz and particularly the music, reveal the investigations of The Daily Mail.

These findings indicates that if in the past, the Indian lyricists and musicians have been stealing the compositions and lyrics of Pakistani counterparts then now the Indians have adopted a new technique of targeting Pakistanis and depriving them of their due rights. The latest example in this regard is that of a Pak-India joint music contest, organised by India’s Star Plus Television Network and sponsored by a top food company of India, Amul India, with an annual turn over of billions of rupees. The Joint music venture was titled Amul Chote Ustad, a Pak-India joint musical contest, held in 2010.

The Daily Mail’s investigations reveal that despite certain other controversies regarding the very said music show the biggest controversy took place right at the Grand Finale of the show that was held on 10 th October, 2010 at Shahji Raji Kareeda Sanku(Andheri Sports Complex) Andheri (W)Mumbai. In the Grande Finale, the duo comprising Rouhan Abbas of Pakistan and Akansha Sharma were declared the winners and thus were joint winners of the prize money of 20 million Indian Rupees to be equally distributed amongst them . Not only this but both were eligible to get another joint cash prize of Indian rupees 100,000, again to be distributed amongst both the winners.

The Daily Mail’s investigations indicate that the cheques of the winning amount were handed over to the winners at the climax of the Grand Finale. However soon after the show was over and the cameras went off air, the cheques were taken back by the Star Plus management, saying that there were some legal requirements to be fulfilled before the actual handing over of money to the winners.

The Daily Mail’s investigations indicate that after this, the Pakistani winner of the duo, 13 year Rauhan Abbas returned to Pakistan as his visa was expiring, assuming that the management of Star TV would soon deliver him his prize money. However, despite numerous reminders by him and his family, the Star Plus management neither gave any response to their quires nor did transferred his prize money. On the other hand, The Daily Mail’s investigations indicate, the Indian member of the winning duo, Akansha Sharma was soon paid all her share, amounting 1 million and fifty thousand Indian rupee while her Pakistani partner still struggles to get his share with no response from Star Plus and other responsible from amongst the sponsors etc.

The Daily Mail’s investigations indicate that the victim of Star Plus’s fraud has now moved Pakistan government through his attorney to get justice. It would be interesting to mention here that when The Daily Mail tried to contact Primary Press Contact person of Star Plus Ms.Vasudha Jha on her Cell Phone number +919833822406 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +919833822406 end_of_the_skype_highlighting as mentioned on Star Plus website, she refused to make any comment and instead disconnected the call and never received it again despite numerous attempts till the filing of this report. When contacted the victim Rouhan Abbas’s guardians, they said that Rouhan was very excited after making such an achievement and he and his family were very happy by the love and respect given by the Indian audience but this incident had ruined the excitement and happiness of Rouhan Abbas and his family and friends. They said they were very hopeful that with the efforts of their attorney and the officials concerned of government of Pakistan, Rouhan will soon get his deserving money through the organisers had promised to pay it within a maximum period of one month and that was in October 2010.

It is worth mentioning here that when the Star Plus management was getting indulged into this fraudulent activities, top personalities of Bollywood were present at the venue and millions of Indian TV audience were watching it on TV screen all over India and also in many other parts of the world. It appears that through this unscrupulous act, Star TV administration has not only cheated Rouhan Abbas but also the top Bollywood personalities as well as its viewers.

Final News of the World hits stands as scandal closes tabloid

Karachi (CNN PAKISTAN) -- The last edition of the News of the World hit stands Sunday morning, as Britain's best-selling newspaper shuts down in the face of a scandal over illegal eavesdropping and bribery that has outraged Britain and rattled the foundation of the nation's political establishment.

Plastered with a montage of recent front pages across its cover, and with a reproduction of its 1843 first front page on the inside, the paper struck a wistful yet proud tone in its final editorial Sunday.

And it repeated its owner's apology for the criminal activities that brought the 168-year-old paper down.

"Phones were hacked, and for that this newspaper is truly sorry," it said in an unsigned piece. "There is no justification for this appalling wrongdoing."

The paper welcomed Prime Minister David Cameron's call for two different inquiries, one into how police investigated the allegations of phone hacking, and a separate one into the ethics and standards of British journalists.

Separately, police are already conducting their second investigation into the hacking itself.

Those ensnared in the police investigation include Andy Coulson, a former editor of the paper and an ex-communications director for Cameron. He and the paper's former royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, as well as a 63-year-old man were all arrested Friday in connection with allegations of corruption.

Both Coulson and Goodman were released on bail late Friday. The third man, who was not named, was freed on bail Saturday morning. All three were ordered to report to police in October.

The scandal has prompted questions over the British prime minister's judgment.

Cameron hired Coulson following the journalist's resignation as editor of News of the World after Goodman and a private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, were jailed in 2007 over hacking.

Coulson has always maintained he did not know about Goodman and Mulcaire's use of illegal methods to get information about Prince William and other high-profile figures, but quit because the crime happened when he ran the paper.

Analysts say media magnate Rupert Murdoch will be eager to limit the damage to News Corporation's bid to take over U.K. satellite broadcaster BSkyB, which has been placed in question by the allegations against News International.

British Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt will consider the impact of the News of the World's closure as he reviews its bid for BSkyB, his office said Friday.

Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians Sunday morning lined up to oppose Murdoch's efforts to take over BSkyB, in which he already owns a controlling interest.

Labour leader Ed Miliband called for a vote in parliament on the issue, and Liberal Democrat Simon Highes -- a victim of phone hacking himself -- told Sky News the best solution would be for Murdoch to withdraw his bid.

Cameron and Hunt are Conservatives.

Staff of the scandal-hit paper emotionally departed their London newsroom for the last time Saturday night, proudly holding up the final edition of the tabloid.

Scores of the newspaper's employees left their office around 10 p.m., issuing three cheers for their editor Colin Myler before heading out to a local pub. Many carried copies of the final edition, which featured a headline that read simply: "Thank you and goodbye."

"I want to pay tribute to this wonderful team of people here," said Myler, gesturing to his staff. "This is not where we wanted to be, or where we deserve to be."

The paper's roughly 200-member staff are now out of jobs, but have been told they can apply elsewhere within its parent company, News International -- the main British subsidiary of News Corporation.

News of the World showbiz editor Dan Wootton posted on Twitter that 5 million copies were being printed Sunday, twice the usual circulation of 2.5 million.

News International Chairman James Murdoch, who is Rupert Murdoch's son, said all revenue from the last edition would go to "good causes" and that free advertising space would be offered to charities.

But the paper itself said Sunday that "profits" -- not "revenues" -- would go to charity.

It listed three recipients: the children's charity Barnardo's, the Forces Children's Trust, and "military projects at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity."

Meanwhile, the Church of England, which owns shares worth about $6 million in Murdoch's News Corporation empire, has put pressure on him to act over the scandal.

The church's ethical investment committee has written to Murdoch, saying the "behaviour of the News of the World has been utterly reprehensible and unethical."

The letter, part of which is posted on the church's website, says that the closure of News of the World -- while welcome -- does not go far enough.

"We cannot imagine circumstances in which we would be satisfied with any outcome that does not hold senior executives to account at News Corporation for the gross failures of management at the News of the World," the letter says.

According to audio leaked to the media, News International's chief executive Rebekah Brooks said in a meeting with staff Friday that she was "determined to get vindication for this paper. And for people like you."

But she also told staff that it had to be shut down because worse revelations about its activities were imminent, the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported.

Brooks has come under increasing pressure to step down over the scandal, with Cameron saying Friday he would have accepted her reported offer to resign.

Police are also investigating evidence that a senior News International executive may have deleted millions of e-mails from an internal archive, according to legal sources cited by the Guardian newspaper.

The decision to close the News of the World followed accusations that it illegally eavesdropped on the phone messages of murder and terrorist victims, politicians and celebrities, and claims it may have bribed police officers. Police said Thursday they had identified almost 4,000 potential targets of hacking.

Cameron defended his actions in hiring Coulson on Friday, saying, "The decision to hire him was mine, and mine alone."

He said he had decided to give Coulson a second chance after receiving assurances that he had not been involved in wrongdoing at the newspaper. Coulson has denied knowing about phone hacking while he was editor from 2003 to 2007.

Downing Street on Saturday confirmed that Cameron has approached the United Kingdom's judiciary to suggest names for the judge to lead the inquiry into the News of the World hacking claims.

News of the World was the first British national newspaper Rupert Murdoch bought, in 1969, as he began to propel himself from Australian newspaper proprietor to international media magnate.

In addition to owning News of the World, News International owns the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times in Britain.

Murdoch's News Corporation also encompasses Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and Harper Collins publishers.
