A Tollywood actress and former Bigg Boss contestant has been charged over allegations that she defrauded a London-based software professional of Rs 9.35 crore.

A bipartisan bill in the US House would waive a steep $100,000 H-1B visa fee for foreign doctors and nurses. The charge was introduced earlier and could raise hospital costs, especially at facilities already stretched thin. With the US facing a major doctor shortage, the proposal aims to help bring more medical professionals into care, including in rural and underserved communities.
