BJP leader Ammu back in Haryana jail
Gurugram, Jan 30 (IANS) A BJP leader, who put a reward of Rs 10-crore on the “Padmaavat” maker and his heroine’s heads — has been sent back to a Haryana prison after his medical reports confirmed that he was fine, police said on Tuesday.
Kunwar Surajpal Singh Ammu was arrested from his upscale DLF residence here five days ago, over his alleged role in the violence in Bhondsi area on the Gurugram-Alwar National Highway on January 24.
Ammu has been making headlines after he announced the bounty to behead actress Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali over their movie.
On Monday, Ammu was referred to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Rohtak after he complained of chest pain and uneasiness.
Ammu was brought back to the Bhondsi jail here late on Monday as his ECG showed “no abnormality and vital organs found normal”.
He was detained on January 25 and later arrested under sections of preventive detention, after a school bus carrying children was pelted with stones and a Haryana Roadways bus was burnt by agitators from the Rajput community who protested against the “Padmaavat” release.
Ammu’s detention was extended up to February 2 by the order of Gurugram’s Deputy Commissioner of Police Deepak Gahlawat, police PRO Ravinder Kumar told IANS.
A General Secretary of the Shree Rajput Karni Sena that has been waging a war against the movie ever since its inception, Ammu would be presented in a Sohna court on February 3.
He was admitted in Gurugram’s government-run Civil Hospital late on Sunday night after he complained of chest pain and uneasiness. He was under the observation of Dr Naveen Kumar and his team.
He was referred to Rohtak’s Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma PGIMS after some medical tests.
Police had also arrested 18 people for the Bhondsi violence. So far, a total of 47 people have been arrested for protesting against the movie and for their alleged involvement in violence.
The protesters had claimed the film hurt the Rajput community’s sentiments’ by showing a dream sequence between Rani Padmini, played by Deepika and Sultan Alauddin Khilji, portrayed by Ranveer Singh.
In November, Ammu had announced the bounty in protest against the movie which the Rajput community claims distorts history.
He also threatened to break the legs of actor Ranveer Singh, who played the role of Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the movie.
On November 21, Ammu was booked for criminal intimidation.
On November 29, Ammu sent his resignation to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state unit chief Subhash Barala, stating that he was upset with Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s “attitude towards the Rajput community”.
His resignation is pending before the party disciplinary committee.
“Padmaavat” released nationwide on January 25, barring in a few states.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
