The dean of Mumbai’s JJ Hos-pital Hospital has revealed that Indrani Mukerjea had possibly consumed some antiepileptic tab-lets and was unconscious when she was admitted to the hospital. Indrani Mukerjea, the prime ac-cused in the Sheena Bora murder case, was rushed to a hospital in Mumbai on Friday after she com-plained of chest pain. According to reports, Mukerjea, who is cur-rently in jail alongwith other two accused Sanjeev Khanna and her driver Shyamvar Rai, was taken to JJ Hospital for medical check

up after she reported of chest pain. Mukerjea has been kept under observation in the hospi-tal till further tests are conduct-ed. Indrani’s mother Durga Rani Bora, who was bedridden for the past two years, passed away in Guwahati on Thursday. Earli-er this week, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered an FIR in the sensational murder case naming Indrani Mukerjea, the victim’s mother, Mukerjea’s ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai. The CBI filed the case under vari-ous sections of Indian Penal Code

including criminal conspiracy, murder, abduction, destruction of evidence, causing hurt by giving poison and Arms Act. CBI took over the investigation of the case which was earlier registered by Mumbai Police on the allegations that the accused persons hatched a criminal conspiracy to mur-der Sheena. In pursuance of this conspiracy, the accused allegedly abducted Sheena, murdered her and disposed off her body, agen-cy spokesperson said in a state-ment. The decision to handover the probe to CBI came after days of uncertainty on the supervisory

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWhy the death in Dadri affects the national project under PMThe daughter saw the bigger picture. She sounds like the mature one among all those who are grabbing this opportunity to dissolve this incident into the bigger is-sue and make it political. She has been asking us: Can her father be brought back if proved innocent? Being the father of a daughter, I can feel the pain in her eyes. Mohammad Akhlaq shouldn’t be dead. Lynching a person merely on suspicion is absolutely wrong, the antithesis of all that India stands for and all that Hin-duism preaches. Violence of this kind in a state like UP affects national goals. India is on the path to redis-covering itself through an all-inclusive development mission, whose success depends on how fairly we can make every Indian feel the confidence of being a co-traveller. The buzz that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created the world over needs a convergence of minds — no matter which party or ideology you belong to. Akhilesh Yadav is as much a part of this project as any other state leader. Better governance in his state helps this project; bad governance derails the principal objectives of our nation. Daughters are pre-cious for this journey. But I wonder why there was no outcry from the secular media and leaders when Tika Lal Taploo was killed by jihadis and his daughter was left alone in this world. The secular brand of com-munalism is more lethal sometimes than the bullets of violent people. The violent reactions of the Dadri kind must remain an aberration. They raise a question for so-called liberal Muslims: Have you done any-thing to show Hindus that you stand with them when they are assaulted by the Andrabis? Muslim silence on Hindu woes is often taken as support for intolerant Islamists. In many parts of India, cow slaughter is a serious offence. But it should be handled via the law-ful path that the Constitution has provided us. Sadly, secular celebrations of “beef festivals”, as well as the provocative butchering of a cow in a bazaar for polit-ical mileage, have pushed a society that worships the cow as mother to question the real motive of the sec-ulars. The Modi phenomenon has taken the world by surprise. The world is looking at India with awe and appreciation like never before. Should we allow emo-tive religious matters that concern our personal beliefs to derail what we have achieved through painstaking struggle? The UP government should take serious note of this. In no society and in no era has extrem-ism ever succeeded in providing an atmosphere for growth that encompasses the arts, education, agricul-ture, science, technology and, of course, poetry.

“The PM has announced to deposit Rs 15-20 lakh in every citizen’s bank account from the black money brought back to the country. What happened to the promise? The BJP government has also failed to fulfill the promises made to the youth,” - Continuing his attack on the BJP,

chief minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said addressing series of election rallies at Suryagarha, Bariarpur, Veeerpur and Tazpur.

Portabella mushrooms may be key to making effi-cient and longer-lasting batteries that could power cellphones and electric vehicles, scientists say. Re-searchers at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering have created a new type of lithium-ion battery anode using portabella mushrooms, which are inexpensive, environmen-tally friendly and easy to produce. The current in-dustry standard for rechargeable lithium-ion bat-tery anodes is synthetic graphite, which comes with a high cost of manufacturing because it requires tedious purification and preparation processes that are also harmful to the environment. With the an-ticipated increase in batteries needed for electric vehicles and electronics, a cheaper and sustainable source to replace graphite is needed. UC Riverside engineers were drawn to using mushrooms as a form of biomass because past research has estab-lished they are highly porous, meaning they have a lot of small spaces for liquid or air to pass through.

Harbhajan Singh, R Ash-win and Amit Mishra looking to impart revs on the ball and following one another in their run-up at the far corner of the training ground nets suggested India were having a conclave of spinners. Axar Patel was sharpening his throwing and catching across the field. All four spinners are vying for skipper Mahendra Singh Dho-ni’s attention. Now, that is not taking into account Suresh Raina’s occasion-al off-spin. It only re-

flects Dhoni’s affinity for spinners. He sees that as the core strength to such an extent that his spin-ners in the ODIs often bowl even those overs that one would expect to be the pacers’ quota.Bhuvneshwar Kumar has repeatedly not been bowled his full quota due to this push for spinners. Dhoni has given his rea-sons while defending his heavy dependence on spinners - dew, lack of death bowlers, brown turners, concern over penalty for slow over rate etc. As India gear up for the tour opening Twen-

ty20 against South Afri-ca on Friday, it is back to Dhoni’s school of lead-ership, which is stifling the opposition with spin. It is a format where con-ceding 7-8 runs an over is far more appealing to Dhoni than pinning hopes on pace without being sure what would be the amount of damage. Dho-ni’s spin plans go beyond this series. With one eye on the ICC WorldT20 to be played in India early next year, he has made it clear how the three-match T20 series will be a dress rehearsal for finalising his spin combination.

The jeera exports from the coun-try in 2014-15 were 55% higher than the target set for the year. Higher de-mand and lower prices also aided to the growth in jeera export.As per the data available with the Spices Board of In-dia, India’s jeera exports stood at 1.55 lakh tonnes in 2014-15, while the tar-get for the year was set at 1 lakh tonnes. “Syria is our major competitor in jeera export market.

Jeera produc-tion in 2014-15 was es-timated to be around 2.5 lakh tonnes as against 4 lakh tonnes in the previ-ous year. Apart from In-dia, Syria and Turkey are other major producers of jeera. “The sowing and production of jeera suf-fered heavily due to the turmoil in Syria. Also, importers are treading cautiously while dealing with Syrian exporters. As a result, countries like Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore and Sri Lanka looked at India for meet-ing their jeera require-ments,” added an export-er from Unjha, a top jeera trading hub in Asia. Syr-ia exports around 20,000 tonnes annually.

Congress party has thrown its hat into the reservation ring. Guru-das Kamat, general sec-retary of the All India Congress Committee and in-charge of Guja-rat Congress, announced here on Thursday that his party supports 15-20% economically back-ward class (EBC) quota for Patidars and other non-reserved communi-ties across India. This is in addition to the exist-ing caste-based quota in the country. “After wider consultations with na-tional party president So-nia Gandhi and Congress leaders in Gujarat, Con-gress has decided to sup-port EBC status for com-munities like Patidars, Brahmins, Baniyas and others who are deprived of reservation benefits despite economic prob-

His art marked a historic turn in development of In-dian modern art and real-ism at the turn of the 20th century. But deep down Raja Ravi Varma had the deepest regard for the pa-tron of art Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III. On his 109th death anniversary on Oc-tober 2, Raja Ravi Varma’s kin in Kerala recall how the great artist had wished that the Baroda Maha-raja be the chief guest at the house warming of the ‘Puthanmalika’- the grand new bungalow that Varma had started to build at his birth place Kilimanoor in 1904 for his 60{+t}{+h} birthday! But he died in 1906 at the age of 58 and

never lived to see his bun-galow through. This fact emerged only recently as the Kerala state archae-ology department started conservation activities at the Puthanmalika recently. “The bungalow designed by Raja Ravi Varma was to house a gallery of his artworks. He had special-ly introduced European architectural elements in this bungalow keeping in mind the tastes of the Sir Gaekwad. Today it is on us trustees managing the Chitrashala and the palace to turn the Puthanmalika into pilgrimage for the art world-like Raja Ravi Var-ma would have wished,” says Rama Varma of the Kilimanoor palace trust.

Additional DGP Vipul Vijoy, head of the motor transport and wireless communication division, has gone on leave after a complaint that he “con-fined” some police per-sonnel at his home. The allegations are currently under investigation. The government on Thursday handed over charge of the communication division to ADGP Vinod Mall, who heads the SC, ST and weaker sections cell and also holds three other ad-ditional charges. Before he handed over the charge, Vijoy issued suspension orders to sub-inspector Pankaj Sachde for “dere-liction of duty” and clerk Manoj Patel for “misbe-

haviour”. On Wednesday, 13 policemen, includ-ing Sachde and assistant sub-inspectors, wireless technicians and police drivers had lodged a com-plaint at the police control room alleging that Vijoy had kept them confined to his bungalow at the Gu-jarat Police Academy in Karai, Gandhinagar. In-spector General of Police (Gandhinagar) Hasmukh Patel, along with other police officers, has start-ed preliminary investiga-tions into the allegation on directions from DGP P C Thakur and recorded statements of the com-plainant policemen. So far, no formal complaint has been filed. Vijoy, the policemen to his “camp

Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today inaugurated a mobile museum on Mahatma Gandhi’s life and times at his birthplace Porban-dar from where the mu-seum-on-wheels will start its journey for Delhi from tomorrow.

his legs crossed on a stage at the programme, which was attended by the state BJP general secretary Shabdsharan Brahmbhatt, party cor-porators among others. Members of Rabadi and Bharwad communities were among the main organisers and consti-

tuted a majority of the audience at the event. Both the communities are pastoralists who have traditionally been engaged in rearing cows for livelihood. Patel said that the money was to be donated to Panjrapol, to be used for the cause of protecting the cows.

“The event was part of cultural programme known as “gher” in Gu-jarati, in which events are organised to collect donation from audienc-es which is then used for certain good causes. At the September 20 event, money was collected as donation for cow protec-tion. This is a Gujarati tradition widely preva-lent in Saurashtra region. Gadhvi is an interna-tionally known Gujarati singer and my close rel-ative. He will fly to the US in some time where people will most likely shower dollar currency on him,” Patel said, add-ing that the currency was mostly in the denomina-tion of Rs 10 and would amount to no more than Rs 3 lakh.

developments in crime cases online through the Gujarat State Wide Area Network (GSWAN), un-der a programme called e-gujcop. It also records FIRs. The Surat mod-ule, however, had been out of connectivity from e-gujcop for the past six months.

While inaugurating the museum, Mr Patel gave a pot (kalash) having clay of Porbanadar, said Mr Ran-jan. Early this morning, Mr Patel paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his 146th birth anniversary at Porbandar.

Congress supports 15-20% reservation for EBCs beyond 49% cap

lems,” said Kamat, who was on a one-day visit to the state. For a party that has capitalized on Kshatriya, Hindu, Adiva-si and Muslim (KHAM) politics in Gujarat, Con-gress’ support for EBC quota ahead of Bihar polls and civic elections in Gujarat is seen as an apparent bid to tap into unrest in the middle class vote bank consolidated by the BJP . “We demand that the Narendra Mo-di-led NDA government declare 15-20% EBC

reservation. If Modi gov-ernment fails, we openly commit the next Con-gress government to do this,”, said Kamat. While Patidars have been de-manding OBC status, Gujarat Congress presi-dent Bharatsinh Solanki clarified the party does not support any change in the existing OBC quo-ta. “We will not support any change in the present 49% quota for OC, SC and ST but will support inclusion under the new EBC quota,” he said.

Almost 68 per cent of all inmates in the 1,387 jails in the country are under-trials, according to the latest figures released by the National Crime Re-cords Bureau (NCRB) for 2014. Over 40 per cent of all undertrials re-main in jail for more than six months before being released on bail. The percentage of undertrial prisoners who remain in jail for more than three months has also gone up from 62 per cent in 2013 to 65 per cent in 2014. The data looks worse when compared to previ-ous years which showed a declining trend. In 2012, the figure stood at 62.3 per cent. Accord-ing to the NCRB data, Goa, Jammu and Kash-mir, Gujarat and Punjab are the worst performing states, with over 75 per

cent of undertrials re-maining in jail for over three months. On the other hand, Kerala and Tripura recorded the lowest such cases — 35 per cent and 32 per cent respectively. A large number of undertrials remain in jails due to their inability to secure bail. The highest per-centage (27.3 per cent or 63,225 of the total 2,31,962) of undertrials under IPC crimes were charged with murder. Uttar Pradesh reported 17.9 per cent of such undertrials, followed by Bihar at 8.8 per cent. A

total of 6,274 convicts were habitual offenders. The NCRB data shows that there were 4,18,536 inmates in various jails against a capacity of 3,56,561. Chhattisgarh (259 per cent) and Del-hi (222 per cent) were among those which re-ported high overcrowd-ing. Muslims continue to form a large share of the undertrial popula-tion, with their numbers being disproportionate to their overall popula-tion. According to the 2011 census, Muslims constitute 14.2 per cent of India’s population.
