Was Missing starlet Laila Khan a spy for LeT?

It has come to light that Laila Khan, a Pakistani aspiring starlet who has been missing since last year, recced Mumbai in 2011 for the terrorist LeT outfit.

The actress’s Mitsubishi Outlander was allegedly used to ferry explosives for a bomb blast at the Delhi High Court in September 2011. Laila was accompanied by her sister Azmina Patel, her stepfather Asif Sheikh and her family friend Parvez Iqbal Tak, who allegedly had links with LeT militants.

The Mitsubishi Outlander, found in Kishtwar in Jammu & Kashmir, with the registration number MH02 AY 7867 was registered under Laila’s name.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) tipped off the J&K police that a car carrying explosives was on its way to launch a terror attack in Mumbai. Based on this tip off, this car was then traced to a garage in Kishtwar, which Tak had rented for Rs 800 a month.

Three years ago, Laila had married Munir Khan, a member of the Bangladeshi terror outfit HUJI. Director Rakesh Sawant (Rakhi Sawant’s brother), who was working on a project with Laila about three years ago, has also revealed that she would often receive mysterious visitors. “When I went to Laila’s house for a meeting three years ago regarding my film, I saw a Kashmiri sitting with weapons in her bedroom. I had even gone to Igatpuri to talk to her about my film, where I saw a similar gathering. When I asked Laila about them, she said they were her relatives,” said Rakesh.

It is possible that Laila, along with her family might have been killed by the LeT men, as they were carrying crores of money with them.

Who is Laila Khan?
Laila Khan aka Sara had debuted opposite Rajesh Khanna in film Wafaa in 2008. However, in January, 2011 disappeared along with her mother and three siblings.

Salman Khan in property controversy

Bollywood’s ad boy Salman Khan is embroiled in another controversy. According to former IPS officer and social activist YP Singh, actor Salman Khan has allegedly violated the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act.

It seems that Salman Khan bought a flat in a building named ‘The Address’, situated at the Bullock Cart Road, which is between the lane of Mannat and Taj Lands End at Bandstand, Bandra. The power of attorney, however is in Salman`s father, Salim Khan name.

The official papers of the flat reveal that Salman Khan has paid Rs 20 crore for the flat whose market value is just Rs 4 crore.

“It is clear that the extra price, which has been given is said to acquire a non-FSI component of the building, which cannot be sold. There is a dedicated parking at the 11th floor with a personal swimming pool. On paper, the property is only 1079.95 square feet, but actually the space occupied (that of the flat) is around 8000 square feet, which is deceiving,” said Singh while talking to the media.

Singh further added, “As per the law, common areas like lobby, garden, swimming pool, parking and fire refuge area cannot be owned by an individual, but can be utilised by all the members of the building. It would also be a case of money laundering, as Khan, by paying such a huge amount of Rs 20 crore might have converted all the black money into white.”

“This requires a detailed investigation and once it is done, it will be clear whether it’s money laundering or a case of environment protection act or Violation of Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act. The Police and Municipal authorities should indulge into the probe for the same,” concluded Singh.

Shanghai Has Poor First Day, Rowdy Rathore continues Dream Run

Shanghai had a poor opening as its collectins were just around Rs3-3.25 crore nett. There were good expectations from this Ehraan Hashmi movie, with good promotion and a decent cast. Shanghai has been released on nearly 1000 screens across India.

The film managed average collections at some high end multiplexes of metros but in most places the audiences gave it a miss and preferred Rowdy Rathore which continued its dream run.
