Two caravans used in the shooting of Mani Ratnam’s multilingual movie Ravan, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, in Ooty have been seized for having forged vehicle documents, police said on Tuesday.
The two caravans had the same registration number. “An investigation led to findings of fraud in the use of forged vehicle IDs and tax evasion, which in turn led to seizure of four vehicles during the last week,” said a police official.
According to police, the vehicles seized in Ooty have been valued at Rs 12 million. Both Abhishek and Aishwarya rai are said to have used the vehicles during the shooting.
The shooting of Ravan has been shifted to another hill station, Hogenekkal (some 300 km southwest from Chennai).
The police official said he feared the “racket may be much bigger since all top stars use high-priced caravans”. Police teams have left for Mumbai and elsewhere in Tamil Nadu to look for other similar vehicles. Sources close to Ratnam said: “To our knowledge only two vehicles that were being operated for us have been seized. The suppliers who lent logistical support to our outdoor units should be blamed. Our shooting is in progress without any glitches.”

Michael Jackson-King of Pop; died
LOS ANGELES :– Michael Jackson, defined in equal parts as the world’s greatest entertainer and perhaps its most enigmatic figure, was about to attempt one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Then his life was cut shockingly — and so far, mysteriously — short. An autopsy was planned for Friday, though results were not likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed, a process that takes several days and sometimes weeks. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him. “It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,” his brother Jermaine said.

Cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems.
Michael Jackson: In his own words
-’If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.’..I’m a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity. Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It’s not nice. No, I’ve never taken hormones to maintain my high voice! No, I’ve never had my cheekbones altered in any way!
I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it’s something that I cannot help, OK?
