I saw Ness Wadia grabbing Preity Zinta's arm', says witness Kanojia
Mumbai: After CCTV footage of Wankhede Stadium failed to provide any significant clue, police officers are now banking on the statements of witnesses to further probe alleged molestation of Bollywood actress Preity Zinta by her former boyfriend and industrialist Ness Wadia. A key witness Kanojia has told the police that he saw Ness grabbing Preity's arm, but he could not hear what they were talking. Experts believe that this to some an extent substantiates Preity's version that Ness misbehaved with her. According to our sources, police is yet to get in touch with Jean, American national, who was present at the time when alleged incident took place.
Another two witnesses in the case, Parul Khanna and Shailesh Gupta, have been asked by police to record their statements. Both journalists were invited by Preity Zinta.
Preity Zinta had filed a police complaint on June 12 alleging that Wadia outraged her modesty at the stadium on May 30 during an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings.
Wadia, who co-owns Kings XI Punjab with Zinta and others, has rubbished the allegations as "false and baseless".
Google offers unlimited storage for businesses
Bangalore, June 26 : Global search engine Google is offering unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls for businesses through its new Drive service at $10 per month, the company said Thursday.
"As businesses want more control, security and visibility to check how files are shared, our new version of 'Drive for Work' offers unlimited storage for businesses at a nominal subscription," the company's Indian subsidiary said in a statement here.
As a cloud storage service, Google Drive allows users to store documents, photos, videos in one place and access documents to create, share and collaborate from anywhere online.
"Though a workplace is full of files that capture the best ideas and the most productive collaborations, they (files) are not useful if users are unable to access or share them effectively. The new Drive keeps all users' work safe and makes it easy to share," the statement noted.
About 190 million users worldwide use Google Drive at home, office, school and work. Global firms such as Crate & Barrel, Seagate and HP (Hewlett Packard) rely on Drive to work faster and collaborate better with their co-workers and customers.
With the new audit view, users can see activity like moving, deleting or sharing a file within or outside the company. The new application (tool) for search and discovery covers all content stored in Drive, including documents, sheets and slides.
"Every year companies create more data, adding megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes. We are taking bytes out of conversation. For $10/user/month, businesses get unlimited storage for their employees and can store files up to 5 TB (terabyte) in size, which no desktop or laptop has a hard drive big enough to store a file of that size," the statement asserted.
For security, all files uploaded to Drive will be encrypted from a user's device to the search engine's platform and between the search engine's data centres and its servers.
"Editing office files is a click away from Drive on a user's computer, tablet or phone,a the statement added.
Users will also have access to productivity apps (applications) like documents, sheets, slides, sites and Hangouts, enabling them to collaborate in more ways.
