SEBI found that certain individuals uploaded false and misleading videos recommending investors buy shares of Sadhna Broadcast Ltd and Sharpline Broadcast Ltd for extraordinary profits.

In addition to Arshad Warsi and Maria Goretti, some promoters of Sadhna Broadcasting Ltd. have also been restrained from participating in the securities market.

Along with the ban, SEBI has impounded illegal gains worth Rs 54 crore made by the entities after misleading videos were uploaded on YouTube channels. Two separate interim orders detail the investigation's findings.

According to the interim order, Arshad Warsi made a profit of Rs 29.43 lakh, Maria Goretti earned a profit of Rs 37.56 lakh, and Iqbal Hussain Warsi made a gain of Rs 9.34 lakh.

These three individuals, among others, have been classified as volume creators by SEBI.

The investigation began after SEBI received complaints alleging that certain entities were engaging in price manipulation and offloading shares of Sadhna Broadcast Ltd. and Sharpline Broadcast Ltd. 

The complaints alleged that misleading videos with false content about the two companies were uploaded to lure investors.

Drug Mafias 'Protected' By Pakistan: Punjab Chief Minister To Amit Shah

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and discussed the issue of drones and drugs on the Indian-Pakistan border, among other topics, the Punjab CM office said.

Punjab CM also told Mr Shah that the drug mafia is being given "protection" by Pakistan.

During the meeting that lasted for about 40 minutes near the Home Minister's residence in the national capital, both leaders discussed the coordination between the Centre and the state to further strengthen border security.

Punjab CM Mann, after the meeting, took to Twitter and said, "We discussed the issue of drones and drugs on the border and the issue of shifting the barbed wire on the border was also discussed."

According to Border Security Force (BSF), in 2022, a total of 22 drones were captured by the jawans.

In addition, last year, according to BSF, a total of 316 Kg of drugs were seized by the BSF and the BSF along the Punjab border killed two Pakistani intruders.

The BSF earlier this year said, "The troops of the Punjab Frontier have maintained an extremely high level of alertness and vigil. Resultantly, BSF has successfully detected and captured 22 drones and seized 316.988 kgs of heroin, 67 weapons, 850 rounds and killed two Pakistan intruders and apprehended 23 Pakistan nationals in different incidents."

BSF, Punjab Frontier is responsible for safeguarding the 553-km long tough and challenging India-Pakistan International Border in Punjab.

Mr Mann further asked the Home Minister to release the state's stalled rural development fund.

"I asked to release Punjab's stalled rural development fund soon. Centre and the state will work together on the issue of law and order," Mr Mann wrote in his tweet.

According to the Punjab CM office, there was also a discussion about the early deployment of the SSP of the Punjab cadre in Chandigarh.

The meeting regarding law and order comes against the backdrop of the Ajnala incident in which self-styled Sikh preacher and Khalistani sympathiser Amritpal Singh and his supporters, carrying swords and guns, clashed with police at a police station in Amritsar for the release of one of his aides.

Six police personnel, including a superintendent of police-rank officer, were injured in the clash last week.

Russia Fighting "Terrorist Attack" In Ukraine Border Region, Says Putin

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday Russia was fighting off a "terrorist attack" in the southern Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, and vowed to crush what he said was a Ukrainian sabotage group that had fired at civilians.

Ukraine accused Russia of staging a false "provocation", but also appeared to imply some form of attack had indeed been carried out by Russian anti-government partisans.

Amid reports of shelling and sporadic sabotage, Russia's border regions have become increasingly volatile since Moscow invaded Ukraine a year ago in what it called a "special military operation".

Putin, in a televised address, accused the group of opening fire on civilians, including children. Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz had earlier said that the Ukrainians had shot and killed one person and injured a child.

"They won't achieve anything. We will crush them," said Putin, saying the group was made up of the kind of people who wanted to rob Russia of its history and language.

In two videos circulating online, armed men calling themselves the "Russian Volunteer Corps" said they had crossed the border to fight what they called "the bloody Putinite and Kremlin regime."

Calling themselves Russian "liberators", the armed men called on Russians to take up arms and rise up against the authorities. They said they did not open fire on civilians.

Reuters could not immediately verify the videos' authenticity.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that law enforcement agencies would determine who was responsible and Putin was being briefed by security chiefs on the situation.

KIEV ACCUSES MOSCOW OF 'PROVOCATION'

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter: "The story about (a) Ukrainian sabotage group in RF (Russian Federation) is a classic deliberate provocation."

He said Russia "wants to scare its people to justify the attack on another country & the growing poverty after the year of war."

A spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence suggested the makeup of the sabotage group was a sign of internal strife inside Russia.

"These are people who with weapons in their hands are fighting the Putin regime and those who support it... Maybe Russians will begin to wake up, realise something and take some concrete steps," Andriy Yusov told Ukrainian outlet Hromadske.

Russia's FSB security service said in a statement to Russian news agencies on Thursday that its own forces and the army were trying to liquidate what it described as "an armed group of Ukrainian nationalists" who had crossed the border.

Bryansk Governor Bogomaz said on his Telegram channel: "Today, a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group penetrated the Klimovsky district in the village of Lubechanye. "Saboteurs fired on a moving car. As a result of the attack, one resident was killed and a ten-year-old child was wounded."

He said Ukrainian armed forces had carried out a drone attack and fired artillery at other areas near the border.

Reuters was unable to immediately verify the reports.

British military intelligence said on Wednesday that Russia was launching drone attacks on Ukraine from the Bryansk region, which lies to the north of Ukraine and is closer to its capital Kyiv than other launch sites.

The Russian state news agency TASS said the Ukrainians had infiltrated two villages, taking local residents hostage in one of them. The RIA news agency said several people had been taken hostage in a store in the village of Lubechanye, less than one kilometre from the border with Ukraine.

Russia has accused Ukrainian saboteurs of infiltrating Bryansk before.

In December, the FSB said a four-person Ukrainian "sabotage group" had been "liquidated" while trying to enter Bryansk.

Putin told the FSB this week that it needed to step up its guard against espionage and what he called terrorist threats emanating from Ukraine and the West.

"Your task is to put a barrier in the way of sabotage groups, to stop attempts to illegally transport weapons and ammunition into Russia," he said in a speech on Tuesday.
