India were left stunned in the opening match of cricket’s World Twen-ty20 on home soil as they went down to a crushing 47-run defeat to New Zealand. The tournament hosts looked set to make a winning start and justify their tag as red-hot favor-ites to lift the trophy when New Zealand had been dismissed for just 126 af-ter opting to bat first. But India struggled to an even greater degree on a turn-ing pitch in Nagpur and New Zealand’s decision to field three spinners and leave out their lead-ing pacemen Tim South-ee and Trent Boult paid handsome dividends. In-dia’s lineup crumbled to just 79 all out, their sec-ond lowest total ever in Twenty20 internationals.

house in Forest, Brussels, a spokesman for the feder-al prosecutors office said. Belgian media reports de-scribed the Forest suburb as close to the Molenbeek neighbourhood, which was home to a number of the Islamist militants con-firmed as carrying out the Paris shootings.

The home crowd was left silenced in disbelief, and they weren’t alone. India had won 10 of their last 11 Twenty20 matches com-ing into the tournament, encompassing series wins over Australia and Sri Lanka as well as lifting the Asia Cup earlier this month. The top of their batting order had been in scintillating form. Thus

when openers Rohi Shar-ma and Shikhar Dhawan had been dismissed inside the first 14 balls, thanks to the spin of Nathan McCullum and Mitchell Santner, there was al-ready significant shock. Perhaps the success of India’s top-order batsmen in recent months ended up counting against them here. Once they had been

removed, batsmen who have gotten little time at the crease of late soon followed. When Virat Kohli, the man who has so often provided crucial innings for India, was dismissed in the eighth over for 23 off the bowl-ing of another spinner, Ish Sodhi, India were in

real trouble. By the end, Indian-born Sodhi, who also caught and bowled Ravindra Jadeja with an exceptional catch, McCul-lum and Santner finished with a combined nine wickets, equaling the re-cord for most wickets tak-en by spinners in a single innings of a T20 interna-tional. It means suddenly the pressure is now on In-dia in what is the toughest of the two groups in the Super 10 stage of the com-petition. Their next con-test on Saturday against fierce foes Pakistan, al-

ready highly anticipated, now carries even more im-portance. Such a dramatic scenario appeared implau-sible as India set apart New Zealand’s batsmen. India showed the depth of their spin bowling, with Ravichandran Ash-win and Ravindra Jadeja being ably supported by Suresh Raina, who con-ceded just 16 runs from his four overs as well as taking a wicket. And the pace attack, contributed, too, especially Jaspirt Bumrah, whose yorkers were delivered with im-

peccable length and pace to concede only 15 runs, and take the wicket of the one New Zealander who threatened to make any lasting impression, Co-rey Anderson. Anderson was forced to play a more restrained innings after New Zealand’s top three had all been dismissed in-side seven overs without breaking double figures. Renowned for their abil-ity to score quickly and powerfully, New Zealand failed to adjust to a pitch that offered more turn than anticipated.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYAn all-India judicial service will ensure transparency

After striking down the National Judicial Appoint-ments Commission (NJAC) as unconstitutional in 2015, the five-judge constitution bench of Justices JS Khehar, Jasti Chelameswar, MB Lokur, Kurian Joseph and Adarsh Kumar Goel explored alter-natives to make the Supreme Court’s collegium system, which appoints judges to the nation’s con-stitutional courts, transparent. The court sought suggestions from the public and the response was overwhelming. There are many who have ques-tioned the SC’s decision to ask for suggestions, but what is significant is that the issue of transparency in judicial appointments is finally being debated across the country. While it is no longer possible for nepotism and favouritism to sneak into judi-cial appointments, vested interests are still trying their best to promote their own since there are vacancies in the Supreme Court and high courts (nearly 40%). They are trying to push the agenda of the old non-transparent appointment process through the collegium system. This should be stopped by the Supreme Court. Vacancies might be affecting the criminal justice system but pen-dency and vacancies cannot justify non-transpar-ent appointments. Even when there were fewer number of vacancies, the performance of the ju-diciary in clearing outstanding and pending cas-es was not extraordinary. While it is important to ensure that we have a mechanism for speedy dis-posal of cases, the most important thing is to en-sure a transparent appointment mechanism of the higher judiciary. This mechanism must be thor-oughly examined and a proper procedure should be first put in place before any appointments are made. To avoid wrong appointments, the govern-ment in consultation with the chief justice of must introduce an all-India judicial service. This will go a long way towards attracting the brightest and the best talent available in the country. This is a five-decade-old demand but it has not been imple-mented on account of vested interests both in the political and judicial systems. Their intention is to perpetuate nepotism and favouritism in judicial appointments. This goes against objectivity, fair-ness, sensitivity and professional approach to the judiciary’s working. Several people have asked the Centre and Supreme Court for such a service but it appears that the judiciary is taking advan-tage of a divided Parliament to push its agenda of perpetuating judicially-sponsored appointments.

Pakistan actor Fawad Khan clarified on Tues-day (March 14) that he was never offered PK and that his earlier quote was misinterpreted by the me-dia. There were reports that Fawad had refused PK because of Kapoor and Sons. Fawad Khan, who was in New Delhi for the promotions of his second Bollywood outing ‘Kapoor and Sons’, said: “PK was never offered to me and I never reject-ed it. Secondly, had I got any role in PK, I would have loved to do it but

that wasn’t the case.” On further being asked about his much-talked about film ‘Battle of Bittora’, he said that their calendar didn’t match and that the makers are also consid-ering other actors for the role. “For ‘Battle of Bit-tora’, our dates couldn’t match. Sonam is such a busy actor, I myself had committed to Kapoor and Sons. So, I was working on this and then I wasn’t getting time to work on Battle of Bitora. As far as I know they are looking for other actors as well,” said Fawad.

Actress Alia Bhatt said she has not been offered ‘Aashiqui 3’ and is not doing any Hollywood film either.

There is no Aashiqui happening for me either.” There were rumours that Alia will be working under her father Mahesh Bhatt’s banner in the third installment

of ‘Aashiqui’ opposite Hrithik Roshan. Original ‘Aashiqui’ (1990) starred newcomers Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal and “Aashiqui 2” was re-leased in 2013 which had Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, who turned stars overnight post it.

Police in Anand have formed a special investi-gation team to probe al-leged organ racket in Pan-doli village where around 80 people have reported-ly sold their kidneys to an unidentified hospital in New Delhi in the past few months.

A West Bengal resident, who police claimed was behind the killing of three witnesses and four at-tempts to murder witness-es in rape cases lodged against self-styled god-man Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, has been ar-rested by the Gujarat ATS and Ahmedabad Detection of Crime Branch in a joint operation. Karthik alias Raju Dulalchand Haldar, resident of Ramlochanpur in South 24 Parganas, had

become a ‘sadhu’ in 2000 and a follower of Asaram, police said. ATS officers said Karthik was arrested from Sarona Bazar in Rai-pur, Chhattisgarh, where he had been hiding. They said Karthik hadn’t tak-en any weapon training, one reason why four of his targets survived. “He attended a satsang of Asaram in Delhi in 2000. He joined the Motera Ashram of Asaram on January 11, 2001. He said he was being helped financially by other sad-

While rejecting the bail plea the court in its order also observed that the Patidar Anamat Aandolan Samiti (PAAS)

leader’s behaviour inside the jail (judicial custo-dy) was also not good. The same court had earlier rejected the bail plea of the remaining two accused Vipul Desai (whom Hardik had given the disputed suggestion) and Chirag Desia, in the case. Hardik’s advocate Yashvant Vala had in the bail plea among oth-er points also put forth the point of Delhi High Court’s bail to JNU stu-dent leader Kanahiya in a sedition case but the court which has complet-ed the hearing yesterday and had reserved its or-

It includes his alleged misbehaviour with the jail authorities and the doctor, the recovery of mobile equipment and Rs 1000 currency note from his barrack and his baseless allegations against the jail authorities. To a query Mr. Pandey also said that Har-dik had went to the court yesterday bare-footed at his own. ‘The jail author-ities just checked his foot wear as a routine check to see if something was hidden in it or not and he got angry. This is not fair to say that the jail authori-ties have barred him from wearing foot-wears,’ the jail superintendent said.

We have formed an SIT to probe the case and deputed a medical team from the health de-partment to find out the numbers of persons fallen victim to the racket,” said SP Yadav. He said at least three more people have told police that they have “donated” their kidneys and furnished documents in support of their claim. A police team would re-cord statements of the villagers to ascertain if the kidney “donations” are part of a bigger rack-et. “Most people in the village are daily wage labourers. A man has re-corded his statement and on the basis of his state-ment we have filed an FIR. The man said he was in dire straits and made the decision for financial reasons,” Yadav said.
