Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Pavel Antov (65), a fervent critic of President Vladimir Putin, died after allegedly falling from a hotel's third floor on December 24. He was on holiday in Rayagada region to celebrate his 66th birthday. His friend Vladimir Bidenov (61) was found dead in his room on December 22. Both cases are being investigated by the Odisha Police.
Antov was one of the staunch opponents of Putin’s war on Ukraine. In June, in a blog post, he criticised the war and air strikes on Kyiv as Russian “terror”.
Eventually, he had to retract his statement after coming under immense pressure. Western media reported that he issued a “grovelling apology”.
