India Test captain Vi-rat Kohli has lent his support to an initiative promoting responsi-ble drinking and road safety.

Actress Shilpa Shetty has now turned an au-thor with a diet and nu-trition book “The Great Indian Diet”. The actress, however, said she does not think of herself as a fitness expert. “People should have discipline to-wards life. I don’t know... I don’t think if I am an expert on fitness. When you are writing a book it cannot be subjective, it should be very overall. It was not easy to write a book. There were chal-lenges.

An FIR has been lodged against the constables of the Andheri Police sta-tion after a video went viral in which the men in uniform were seen abus-ing and beating a young couple. Ghulam Maq-bool Sheikh, an eyewit-ness to the brutality, said the woman was slapped repeatedly by the cops until she was bleeding. “The couple was fight-ing outside the police station when a constable asked the girl if she was being harassed. She said it was a personal matter and did not want any in-terference by the cops, nevertheless they were taken inside the police station,” Sheikh said.

Controversial BJP MP Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday compared Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of Mumbai carnage, over his “extreme

intolerance” comment, in the second attack on the actor by a BJP leader in as many days, sparking condemnation. Hitting out at Shah Rukh two days after the actor added his voice to the protest by the intelligentsia against the ‘climate of intolerance’,

Adityanath also suggest-ed that he go to Pakistan. In another controversial remark, Adityanath, the MP from Gorakhpur, said Shah Rukh should remem-ber that if a “huge mass” of people in the country would boycott his films then he would also have

ing a commotion which is when the cops started slapping her. “She asked her friend to help her and when he came forward the police did not spare him as well and beat him up badly. The woman kept screaming for mercy but to no avail,” the eye-witness added. Sheikh, who works for an NGO, filmed the entire incident on camera and demand-ed action against the cops. “The couple were

thrashed by the cops in-cluding the woman con-stable and were also il-legally detained in the lock-up. They were also taken to the hospital for an illegal medical exam-ination and we have the certificate as proof,” Ni-tin Satpute, the lawyer of the complainant said. This is the second in-stance in a month where the Mumbai cops have come under the scanner for their brutality.

Chhota Rajan to be brought to Delhi, CBI to get initial custody

on social media sites on Wednesday, IS said it would announce the de-tails of the alleged attack when it chooses. “We are under no obligation to explain how it came down,” IS said in the statement, posted a day after it released a video showing its fighters in Iraq celebrating the inci-dent. “Bring the wreck-

age and search it, bring your black boxes and analyse them, and tell us the results of your in-vestigation,” a man said in the recording. “Prove that we didn’t bring it down, and how it came down. We will detail how it came down at the time of our choosing.” The group claimed that the plane was brought

down on the 17th day of the month of Muharram in the Muslim lunar calendar, the first anni-versary of the Egyptian affiliate’s pledge of alle-giance to IS. The IS affil-iate in Egypt is conduct-ing a bloody insurgency in the north of the Sinai Peninsula that has left hundreds of policemen and soldiers dead.

The sources said the de-cision to bring Rajan was taken during meetings of various stakeholders in-cluding CBI, central se-curity agencies and Delhi and Mumbai Police. On Tuesday also a meet-ing of senior officials of Delhi Police Special Cell and CBI took place, they said adding that that during the one-hour long meeting various aspects

related to transport and security of Rajan were discussed. They said the agency team is waiting for the first available win-dow to bring back the ganglord as ash cloud arising of volcano erup-tions near Bali have halt-ed flight operations from there. The sources said as soon as the flight opera-tions start the team will move out with Rajan.

he lives in India. Under fire for the remark, Vijayvargiya, a BJP Gen-eral Secretary, today withdrew his controversial tweets but asserted that had there been intolerance in India, Shah Rukh would not have been the most popular actor after

Amitabh Bachchan. He, however, refused to apologise for his remarks. The attack against Shah Rukh by BJP leaders came notwithstanding the refrain of BJP’s top brass in the recent weeks that partymen avoid sensitive comments.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIndia’s infra: precarious or optimistic?The private sector expects that in 10 years’ time, In-dian infrastructure will be much closer to being ex-tensive and efficient. Photo: Reuters India’s huge infrastructure gap can be bridged by more public-pri-vate cooperation. That is one of the conclusions of respondents to a questionnaire that was distributed to India’s most prominent companies active in the infra-structure sector by the World Economic Forum and lobby group Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) during June-July. The performance of open, continu-ous dialogue ranks low and is an area that urgently re-quires attention and action. Current conditions for in-frastructure development may be presently difficult. However, the private sector expects that in 10 years’ time, Indian infrastructure will be much closer to be-ing extensive and efficient. Interestingly enough, the top major constraints in infrastructure development over the next three years are thought to be corruption, political and regulatory risk, access to financing and macroeconomic instability. Macroeconomic stability is a shared concern troubling emerging market econo-mies. Political and regulatory risk has many facets ex-tending from community opposition on an investment to changes to asset-specific regulations up to breach of contract’s terms. In the case of India, denial of payments from the government that go against con-tractual agreements seem to be perceived as highly likely to influence future investment decisions. One of the other constraints, access to financing, touches upon the core feature of infrastructure—its long-term payback period. This closes the eye to financiers and investors that look for long term and steady returns. After the global financial crisis though, long-term lending is not easy to get, India not being an excep-tion. Respondents of the questionnaire say there is not enough desire from the government to take on more risk in privately financed infrastructure projects leav-ing the private sector exposed to many risks. Other factors constraining infrastructure development are the delayed approvals and land acquisition processes that put a strain in the long and sometimes opaque tendering processes. Large roads and energy projects can take several months to be awarded and if process-es are not clear and impartial enough investors hardly mobilize resources to bid. A common issue hindering private participation in infrastructure in most countries, known as public-private partnerships, is the lack of sufficient pipeline of bankable infrastructure projects, a feature also observed in India. Two interlinked caus-es for this are the lack of sustainable non-depletable financing of the early stages of structuring and lack of efficient project preparation according to standards.

“Shah Rukh Khan should remember that if a huge mass in society would boycot his films, he will also have to wander on streets like a normal Muslim….I am saying these people are speaking in a terrorist’ language. I think there is no difference between the language of Shah Rukh Khan and Hafiz Saeed,” - BJP leader Yogi Adityanath’s statement on Shah Rukh Khan

Demi Lovato accused of ripping off Sleigh Bell’s songsAgency | Los Angeles

Singer Demi Lovato has been accused of stealing one of her new songs from Sleigh Bells. The duo openly called out the pop diva on Twitter as they pointed out that their “Infinity Guitars” and “Riot Rhythm” might have been illegally sam-pled on her “Confident” track called “Stars”, re-ported Ace Showbiz. “Demi Lovato flattered you guys sampled In-finity Guitars & Riot Rhythm for ‘Stars’ but we were not contacted. Gotta clear those (sic),” the New York-based group wrote. While Lo-vato hasn’t responded to

the tweet, some of her fans have and they’re clearly not having it. The fans claim the group just wants some attention. “The least you could do is attempt to be profes-sional. Don’t air your dirty laundry on the in-ternet,” one fan tweeted. Another agreed, “Please contact demi or her team instead of tweeting her on social media.” “Stars” was co-penned by Savan Kotecha as bonus track off Lovato’s latest al-bum, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on Bill-board 200. “Infinity Gui-tars” and “Riot Rhythm”, meanwhile, are both fea-tured on Sleigh Bells’ 2010 set “Treats”.

Germany’s Volkswagen said today an inter-nal probe had found that 800,000 more vehicles showed “inconsistencies” on carbon emissions, including the first petrol engines, as the auto gi-ant sank deeper into a massive pollution cheating scandal.

Among engines hit are 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 li-tre motors of VW, Skoda, Audi and Seat vehicles, said a VW spokesman, adding that CO2 levels in-dicated for these cars had been lower than actual emissions. At least one petrol (US: gasoline) en-gine is concerned, the company said, while up to now only its diesel engines had been concerned.

Indian tennis ace Lean-der Paes’ much touted partnership with Spanish great Rafael Nadal did not deliver the expected result as they suffered a shock men’s doubles first round loss, that too in straight sets, at the Par-is Masters.

Though Paes and Nadal got a break of serve in the opening set, they were themselves broken twice by Inglot and Lind-stedt which was enough to seal the set for the lat-ter pair. The second set was another straight one for the winning pair who broke Paes and Nadal once -- enough to bag the set and match and enter the second round.

But to those with roots in India, Australia or other crick-et-loving lands, spotting them on the street is like a serendipitous encoun-ter with Michael Jordan, Pope Francis and Taylor Swift. “Wherever Sachin goes, you’ve got a billion people who love him,” said Warne, who is in the

Apart from Smith and Warner, the rest of the batsmen put together sums up to only a total of 29 Test ap-pearances — Joe Burns (2), Usman Khawaja (9), Adam Voges (7), Peter Nevill (4) and Mitchell Marsh (7) — which is

why Warner’s absence in the opening spot could have ended up as a bane for his side. Warner had a decent Ashes outing in England recently, fin-ishing as fourth-highest run-scorer with 418 runs from 5 innings, but had failed to generate the im-pact he creates with his knocks. He did not score a century in the series, which is unlike of his usual contribution to the team.

The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday appointed an inquiry committee com-prising four persons, in-cluding two from NGOs, to find out the status of Nari Sanrakshan Gruh or women’s shelter homes in the state. The move comes in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) which has sought court’s intervention in the state of such shel-ter homes. The division bench, led by Acting Chief Justice Jayant Pa-tel, set up the commit-tee which will have four members, including an additional district judge, who will be appointed by the principal judge of the concerned district, Com-missioner, women and child development, Jhan-

A Gujarat court on Tues-day sent back Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Pa-tel to Lajpore Central Jail, Surat in judicial custody. Patel was produced before a metropolitan court after his police remand end-ed and was ordered to be sent back to Surat. He had been brought to Ahmed-abad by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in the second case of se-dition and “waging war against the government” on October 23 and since then he was in police cus-tody. The DCB officials produced Hardik before the court of metropolitan magistrate after the period of police remand ended.

A day after two BJP lead-ers were shot dead by masked gunmen, offi-cials of the Anti-Terror-ism Squad (ATS) arrived in Bharuch on Tuesday to assist the local police in its investigation. State DGP P C Thakur also reached Bharuch. Former president of BJP’s Bha-ruch unit, Shirish Banga-li, and a general secretary of the BJP youth wing, Pragnesh Mistry, had re-turned from a party meet-ing on Monday evening and were chatting at a printing press when they were shot dead. The mur-ders primarily look like a contract killing, said the police. The ballistic reports of the bullets re-covered from Surya print-ing press, where the two leaders were shot, sug-

gest that a country-made weapon was used by the assailants. In 1993, Ban-gali had been attacked by a group of people and the police had arrested all the assaulters. However, the police ruled out any link between the murder and that incident, saying that the earlier assault was over a “trivial issue”. “We

are carrying out investi-gations in all directions. We have deputed local crime branch officials, Special Operation Group sleuths, along with local police teams, in this case. We are also analysing the CCTV footage to trace the suspects. At present, we don’t know the reason for the murder, but we are

sure that the sharpshoot-ers were not from Bha-ruch. We are sure that we will arrest the sharpshoot-ers soon and also find out the motive behind the incident,” said Bhutada. Meanwhile, several lead-ers of the BJP, Congress, RSS and VHP attended the funeral of Bangali and Mistry. Bangali was made BJP observer for the local elections in Tapi, sched-uled to take place at the end of this month.“We strictly condemn the inci-dent. Bangali was termed as the backbone of the party in Bharuch district,” said Bharuch BJP chief Yogesh Patel. Bharuch MLA Dushyant Patel said, “Bangali was run-ning a printing press and a weekly newspaper. He had no enemies in entire Bharuch.”

When the court asked him if he had any complaints of ill treatment against the police officials, Hardik said, “For the past three days I wasn’t questioned even once by the DCB.” He said he doesn’t have any complaints with the police but “there should not be any politics in judi-ciary.” Hardik will be sent to Surat jail since he was brought to Ahmedabad on transfer warrant by the order of Surat district court. Therefore, techni-cally, he is still under the custody of Surat court. The 22-year-old Patidar leader was first arrested by Rajkot police a day after India-South Africa ODI match for allegedly insulting the national flag on October 19. He was ar-rested again the next day by Surat police in a sedi-tion case. However, he is likely to face a big setback in the Gujarat High Court where a habeas corpus pe-tition is pending. On Sep-tember 22, his two key associates had moved the court past midnight with

a petition alleging “Har-dik was abducted from Tenpur village in Araval-li district by policemen.” The court had asked the petitioners to file an af-fidavit substantiating the allegations. However, Hardik appeared dra-matically on a highway in Dhrangadhra, Suren-dranagar district the next day. The state govern-ment claimed that “Har-dik was never abduct-

ed” and the petitioners had forged the kidnap-ping drama.” The state has claimed that he was taken away by one of his own associates on a bike and filed the habe-as corpus petition where the petitioners faked the abduction theory. The state government is in no mood to let the petition-ers withdraw the petition without taking the case to a logical end.

The court has asked the committee to visit eight shelter homes based in Ahmedabad, Vadoda-ra, Bhuj, Surendranagar, Vansda, Palitana and Rajkot and prepare a re-port and submit it before the court by January 20, 2016. The PIL was filed

by Prita Jha, of Peace and Equality Cell, along with other NGO and activist in November last year, after nine inmates of a shelter home in Odhav, Ahmed-abad, had run away. This paper had reported on the condition of the inmates who were living in inhu-man conditions. Jha al-leged in the petition that mental patients and HIV patients were living to-gether with other inmates with no medical facilities.

to 18 MMT per year from the existing 13.7 MMT per year, IOC Gujarat Re-finery Executive Director S K Dhar Gupta said. The refinery located at Koya-li village on the outskirts of Vadodara city needs a total of 130 acre land for its expansion projects, of which 55 acre have been acquired, he said. The proposal was lying before the state government for over past two years and was cleared recently. The refinery authorities had sought clearance for pur-chasing the land needed for the expansion proj-

ect vital for meeting the norms of government’s Auto Fuel Vision Poli-cy- 2025, he said. Spread over 1,950 acre, the Gu-jarat refinery facility in-cludes Asoj and Dumal terminal operations and five primary Atmospheric Distillations Units. “We need 130 acre if we want to achieve the target of 18 MMT per year and we are confident on acquiring it. We have started holding talks with locals in the vil-lages and their response is good and process is on to acquire the land,” Dhar Gupta said.

“we will send it to an-other bench” but did not assign any reason. The decision was taken after both the judges discussed with each other for near-ly 2-3 minutes after Sibal concluded his arguments that the charge of sedition was not made out against his 22-year-old client. At the outset, the senior law-yer referred to the content of the FIR lodged against Hardik Patel on October 18 under various IPC pro-

visions relating to the of-fence of sedition, abetment of an offence, spreading rumour or false statement and criminal intimidation. Sibal further said that some of the charges have been quashed by the Gujarat High Court and the charges under sections 124A (sedi-tion), 115 (abetment of an offence) of IPC have not been done away with. “We are not challenging the vi-res of the penal law. This is a valid law. The ques-tion is what is the test to be applied in the offence of sedition,” he said and referred to the factual as-pects of the case when Hardik had visited the res-idence of a pro-quota ac-tivist on October 3.
