In a new twist to the burning of a dalit fam-ily in Faridabad days back, forensic experts of Haryana are understood to have concluded that the fire started from in-side their house and not outside as claimed by the victims. The Hary-ana forensic team has submitted its report to the CBI, whose sleuths along with the inves-tigating agency’s own forensic experts visited the crime site yesterday, a day after taking over the case from the state police.Beria expresses disappointment

What happened to S Ko-van, a 45-year-old folk singer from Trichy, in the early hours on Fri-day has similarities with the plot of India’s official Oscar entry film, ‘Court’. While the movie portrays the ordeal in the life of a Dalit activist-poet who challenges the establish-ment through his songs and is held ‘responsible’ for the suicide of a sew-age cleaner by the po-lice, Tamil Nadu Police on Friday imposed sedi-tion charges against Ko-van for the songs he had penned against the gov-ernment and Chief Min-ister J Jayalalithaa criti-cising her liquor policies. Official sources said the

Cybercrime police had picked up Kovan from his house at Woraiyur near Trichy at 2.30am. He was heading the cul-tural wing of Makkal Kalai Ilakkiya Kazhag-am or People’s Art and Literary Association, a 30-year old movement working for the weaker sections of the society with an active cultural wing that performs folk songs and street plays on socio-economic-cultural issues.

39-year-old Chandrabhan Sanap, who was convict-ed on Tuesday of raping and killing 23-year old software engineer Esther Anuhya in January 2014, has been awarded the death penalty by a Ses-sions Court in Mumbai on Friday. Special judge Vrushali Joshi who gave the verdict categorised it as a rarest of rare case. Esther Anuhya, who hailed from Vijayawada, had arrived at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in Kurla on January 5, 2014, post her Christmas leave to re-sume work at Tata Con-sultancy Services (TCS).

She was then reported missing. Her decomposed body was found dumped in the mangroves near the Eastern Express High-way in Kanjurmarg on January 16, 2014. CCTV clips recorded at Kurla terminus from January 5 showed Esther leaving with an unknown man. “The efforts of a special team led us to the accused Sanap, a Kanjurmarg res-ident, who has a criminal record,” said a police of-ficer. Sanap has around eight cases of bag-lifting and stealing registered at Gamdevi, Nashik, Man-mad and Itarsi. The po-lice zeroed in on Sanap

after comparing his pho-tos from police records with the face on CCTV. Sanap was arrested from Nashik on March 3 and charged with raping and murdering Esther. Dots were later connected that Sanap, pretending to be a taxi driver, had offered to drive Esther to her hostel in south Mumbai on his motorcycle. He allegedly stopped the bike on a ser-vice road on the Eastern Express Highway near Kanjurmarg and dragged Esther into bushes nearby to rape her. When she re-sisted, he hit her head on a stone and strangled her to death.

The 2015 Indian Premier League (IPL) contribut-ed Rs.11.5 billion ($182 million) to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Friday. The BCCI appointed KPMG Sports Advisory Group to un-dertake a survey on the economic impact gen-erated by the IPL on the economy of India, which brought forward the fig-ures. IPL 2015 consisted of eight franchises that played 60 matches over 44 days in 13 host ven-ues of 12 cities across the country.

This is the aggregate value of all transactions that took place as a direct, indirect or induced effect of the economic activity of the 2015 matches.

municipal corporations and panchayats. The court also directed the

state government to pro-vide sufficient manpow-er which may be needed

by the SEC to bring back NOTA buttons on EVMs. The court brushed aside the argument of the SEC that it is difficult to in-clude NOTA at this stage since there are barely three weeks left for the polls. The court held that the work may be diffi-cult but not impossible and since it is the right of the voters to have this

option, the commission can’t get away with it. With this order the SEC will have to bring back NOTA option for the vot-ers for Corporations and Panchayat polls. How-ever, since the state gov-ernment has not framed law on use of NOTA in municipalities elections, there will not be such an option for the voters. The

division bench of acting chief justice Jayant Patel and justice N V Anjaria passed an order on a pe-tition seeking inclusion of NOTA in the polls for corporation, municipali-ties and panchayat slated to begin from November 22. The same bench in August had stayed the law making voting com-pulsory in the local polls. The petitioner K R Koshti moved an application in the court seeking modifi-cation of its order which stayed the compulsory voting. He prayed that the NOTA buttons should be used as it has become a law and the voters have the right to opt for NOTA. After the arguments the bench held that stay order calls for a modification. “We find that right to vote in favour of NOTA is one of the rights of voters and it so identified by the apex court therefore, we do find that the interim order must be modified to that extent,” the court ordered. The court re-fused to entertain SEC’s counsel Mihir Thakore’s argument that having

NOTA on EVM will be-come a massive exercise for which the poll officers would need to educat-ed. The bench said, “The exercise for conducting votes should have begun six months back. But you chose to postpone it. Don’t compel us to say lots of things which we have found in your files but our only concern is why should the voters be de-prived of their right. Soon after we stayed the com-pulsory voting you should have moved the court.” Thakore argued that the facility of NOTA buttons in EVMs have been de-activated following the stay order on compulsory voting. He said if NOTA has to be maintained in 21 days all poll officers will have to be educat-ed. Defending the stand of SEC Thakore said that there is no sufficient left for this massive exercise. However, the bench was of the opinion that if SEC needs manpower to com-plete the exercise needed to bring back NOTA it can take help from the state government.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYFrom a peacekeeper to a global leader

At the United Nations Peacekeeping Summit in New York last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi re-affirmed India’s role in international peacekeeping through a partnership with the US. This would involve training and deploying extra contingents, as well as bolstering the infrastructural support for peacekeep-ing troops. This proactive approach reflects the grow-ing importance of military diplomacy for India, but it should also drive home the point that peacekeeping is a tricky and difficult exercise. While it holds an im-mense range of possibilities to restore order in con-flict zones and earn goodwill, peace operations if not managed efficiently, have often left behind conflicting legacies for all the stakeholders involved in it. It is not hard to view India’s renewed commitment to peace-keeping within the broader context of New Delhi’s ambition to secure a permanent seat at the UN Secu-rity Council. Modi’s focus on calling for “troop-con-tributing countries” to have a bigger say in the UN is premised on the continued historical contribution of Indian troops towards securing global peace start-ing from the World Wars of the 20th century to this day and is rooted in projecting India as a responsible player and provider of security and stability in global politics. Modi’s speech evoked India’s historical roles to address present needs, but he did so partially. A wider appraisal of India’s experiences in peacekeep-ing should not remain limited to the World Wars but also include Indian military-diplomatic assignments since then, and examine the strategic issues and chal-lenges that plague peacekeeping contingents abroad. India’s role in the repatriation of Korean and Chinese refugees and prisoners (some of whom refused to go to the communist side) after the Korean War (1950-53) severely tested the resolve of a non-aligned India to settle the fractious issue of prisoner exchange. As head of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commis-sion (NNRC) the body that was set up after the 1953 Korean armistice under the aegis of the UN it was India’s responsibility to negotiate a peaceful transfer of prisoners to the two new Korean states, each of whom now belonged to either the Soviet/Chinese or the American camps of the Cold War. The contentious NNRC “terms of reference” document, which guided India’s efforts in seeking prisoners’ views and relo-cating them accordingly, became a new battleground for Cold War rivalries. Selective interpretations of the document by the US, North Korea and China repeat-edly disrupted and challenged arbitration proceedings.

The intriguing personality of ‘Bikini Killer’ Charles Shobhraj handed Prawaal Raman the perfect reci-pe to create an enticing thriller on the platter. By casting Randeep Hoo-da, the director-writ-er also ensured that he had a face as charming as Shobhraj’s. Howev-er, what he has ended up making is a confused film. Main Aur Charles offers little to the audience: Neither do you get any insight into Shobhraj’s criminal mind, nor do you get to know the motive behind the psychopath’s schemes. While promot-ing the film, director Ra-man insisted that it is not Shobhraj’s biopic but is about the infamous Tihar jailbreak incident and based on the case files of police officer Amod Kanth. But the narrative is not that of a police of-ficer. There is perhaps an attempt to show Shobhraj from the perspective of a man (Amod Kanth) who tracked his cases close enough to know about him but Raman’s narra-tive keeps the audience at bay. It tries to portray Shobhraj as an enigmatic and intriguing personali-ty which is worth a case study: Right at the begin-ning, he is described as ‘hypnotic, brutal, intel-ligent and ruthless’. But the film does not attempt to delve further into Shobhraj’s mind. Raman focusses on Shobhraj’s

Making a monster film for tweens is a tricky business. Make them too tame and you will nev-er satisfy their budding ghoulish tendencies. Add too much gore and you will see parents leading away a child in tears. With the child goes the film’s bottomline and the suits will not like that, will they? When director Rob Letterman decided to adapt RL Stine’s much-loved Goosebumps series for screen, he solved this particular problem by going for squealy instead of spooky, and peppering it with a lot of humour. Yes, the film is high on monsters. Yes, there are chills. But this Hallow-een delight is served with wit and pizzazz on the side, a win-win for everybody.

through the slip cordon for a boundary, Philander consistently went past the outside edge. While Puja-ra was out in the middle, it was a battle of survival. It didn’t last long. Philander forced an edge that carried low to van Zyl at gully. Obviously disappointed at making just five, Pujara was reluctant to walk out but the umpires deemed it a clean catch and sent him on his way.

The Gujarat High Court on Thursday sought a reply from the Election Commission of India to a public interest litiga-tion petition alleging that Gujarat minister of state Shankar Chaudhari holds a bogus MBA degree. The division bench of acting Chief Justice Jayant Patel and Justice N V Anjaria issued notice to the ECI after the petitioner added the Commission as a party

to the PIL. On October 13, the HC had issued notices to Gujarat government, State Election Commis-sion, the minister and the Superintendent of Police of Patan district. It also is-sued notices to Patan-based Sheth K B Vakil Vividhlaxi Vidyalaya where Chaud-hari completed his std 12th in 2011 and the National Institute of Management (NIM) of Vadodara where he got his allegedly bogus MBA degree. Chaudhari is

minister of state for Health and Family Welfare with independent charge of Urban Housing. The pe-titioner Farsu Goklani is a Patan-based Congress worker. As per the school records obtained under RTI Act, the minister passed std 12th in 2011, but his affi-davit before the State Elec-tion Commission in 2012 stated that he had complet-ed MBA in the same year (2012) from NIM, the PIL points out.


Taher Badshah of Mo-tilal Oswal AMC told CNBC-TV18, “ Gujarat Pipavav Port is clear-ly a business which has got significant amount of operating leverage giv-en their fixed cost almost form about 70 percent of the total. So, obviously there is an impact both ways. This time around after the string of several good quarters they have faced with certain chal-

lenges, which to a large degree have been one-off.” “We have seen vol-umes come off by nearly about 30 percent odd in this quarter. A large part of that volume decline has actually been on account of certain force majeure conditions wherein they have lost almost about 25 percent of that 35 percent of volume decline. Some part of it is also on account of certain client losses,” he said. “There is a signif-

icant impact in this quarter in particular on account of weather conditions, force majeure conditions etc which is clearly something which is now setting itself right and probably will reverse in the subsequent quarters. Having said they of course will still be faced with a near term challenge of retrieving some part of their loss in business vol-umes and certain cliental which partly is also head winded.”


An accused in Sabarmati Express train burning in-cident who was abscond-ing since 2002 was arrest-ed by the Godhra Local Crime Branch (LCB) in Gujarat’s Panchmahal district today, police said. Farookh Mohammad Dhantiya (45) was nabbed by the LCB on a specif-ic tip off from his resi-dence near Issac mosque in Signal Falia area near Godhra railway station this morning, sub-inspec-tor of Godhra LCB, H B Zala, said. “Dhantiya has been on the run after the incident that took place on February 27, 2002. Re-cently, we learnt that he is living at Signal Falia in Godhra and was nabbed this morning. He will be handed over to the Special Investigating Team (SIT), formed to investigate the incident for further

probe,” said Zala. Dhanti-ya is the third ‘wanted ac-cused’ in the case to be ar-rested by the Godhra LCB in the recent past. Earli-er, on July 16, LCB had nabbed one Kadir Abdul Gani from Godhra town and handed him over to SIT, while one Hussain Suleman Mohan (35) was held from Jhabua in Mad-hya Pradesh on July 23. As many as 58 people had died when the S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express was torched at Godhra railway station on Feb-ruary 27, 2002. The inci-dent had triggered large scale riots in the state in which around 1,000 peo-ple, mostly of a minority community, were killed. A court in February 2011 had convicted 31 persons in connection with the in-cident. Out of the 31, 11 were awarded death pen-alty, while 20 were sen-tenced to life term.

A team of Ahmedabad The Gujarat High Court on Friday quashed the appointment of contro-versial District Govern-ment Pleader (DGP) of Vadodara against whom two petitions seeking his removal had been filed.

— in the State are sched-uled to go to the polls on November 22. This will be followed by elections in 56 municipalities, 31 district panchayats and about 230 taluka pancha-yats on November 29. The dates of counting

are November 26 for the municipal corporations elections and December 2 for the municipality and panchayat polls. But a Bench led by Justice J. Chelameswar on Thurs-day cast a cloud over the pre-poll excitement in the

State by observing that the results of these elec-tions would depend on the outcome of a special leave petition filed by sev-eral Vadodara residents challenging the Consti-tutionality of provisions in the Gujarat local laws which allow ‘multi-mem-ber ward election con-cept’. Declining to stay the November elections, the Bench observed: “We are not inclined to grant any interim order as prayed for. We only ob-serve that the result of the elections to be held would be subject to the outcome of the instant special leave petition.”

iwala pronounced the or-der and directed the state government to remove Pandya from the post. The court observed that district judge and con-cerned authorities should form an opinion in candi-dates opting for the post at the time of appoint-ment process. Based on these opinions the gov-ernment should choose the fittest candidates. The petitioners, Laxman Rupchand Meghwani, a Vadodara-based social activist, and Mahesh Pa-tel, had moved the peti-tion arguing that Pandya should be removed from

the post as there were adverse remarks against him by the Supreme Court in 2004. The peti-tioners said that Pandya was public prosecutor in the 2002 Best Bakery ri-ots case in which all the 21 accused were acquit-ted by the trial court and the order was upheld in the Gujarat High Court. The apex court had or-dered a fresh trial in 2004 and transferred the case to Mumbai. The court had also made adverse remark against Pandya for the manner in which he conducted the trial as public prosecutor.

Suspected misuse of Patidar agitation fund by Hardik under probe

A Gujarati news channel crew claimed they visit-ed Hardik’s house in Vi-ramgam to shoot the reno-vation work, but Hardik’s mother denied permission for shooting and also re-fused to reply the ques-tions pertaining to reno-vation work. It is believed

that the Crime Branch team has also recorded the statement of contractor who works at this renova-tion site. It has also come to light that iPhone 6 were purchased by PAAS lead-ers using the fund received from the community to help the families of victim.

I am again in queue so that I could support my fam-ily ,” she said. She add-ed that the move to ban foreigners would surely affect the likes of her as two thirds of the total pa-tients that flock Na diad come from abroad. For likes of Pushpa, 31, a first time surrogate from Dharmaj, it was the as-surance from her rela-

tives and acquaintances about the procedure that motivated her. `Notifica-tion not clear’ Dr Man-ish Banker, a city-based gynaecologist and presi-dent of Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction, said that the recent noti-fication by ICMR is not clear about what would happen to the foreign couples who are already on various stages of sur-rogacy process. “A lot of confusion prevails as the communication is done through letter to the members and not in public domain,” he said.
