Background

Welcome to the ABP News LIVE for Saturday, March 20, 2021:  India saw 40,953 new coronavirus infections being reported in a day, the highest single-day rise recorded in 111 days, taking the nationwide COVID-19 tally to 1,15,55,284, according to Union Health Ministry data updated on Saturday.

Registering an increase for the tenth day in a row, the total active caseload has reached 2,88,394, which now comprises 2.49 per cent of the total infections, while the recovery rate has further dropped to 96.12 per cent, the data stated.

Suspended police officer Sachin Vaze and businessman Mansukh Hiran met the day when the Scorpio in Hiran's possession was 'stolen', a CCTV footage confirming the same was found out. Later, Vaze had tried to destroy the evidence against him, investigators claimed on Friday.

This is the same SUV that was found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence on February 25 containing gelatin sticks and a threat letter. Recently Sachin Vaze became the centre of an investigation after the National Investigation Agency began probing the case.

After her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda, actress-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan has come down heavily on Uttarakhand chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat over his comments that wearing ripped jeans is not Indian culture but aping of the West. “Showing bare knees by wearing ripped jeans just to look like rich kids is the value given now which is just a race towards westernisation when the Western world today is following us. Ripped jeans pave the way for societal breakdown and is a bad example parents set for children,” he said. Now, Jaya has slammed Rawat for propagating “a bad” mindset.
