NIA court sends 4 to life term in 2016 Hindu Munnani spokesperson murder

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 25 (IANS) The Special Court for NIA cases, Poonamallee, Chennai, on Thursday convicted and sentenced four active cadres of the banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI) to life imprisonment in connection with the murder of C. Sasikumar, spokesperson of Hindu Munnani, Coimbatore. The convicted individuals Sadam Hussain, Subair, Mubarak and Mohammad Rafiqul Hassan have each been sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 30,000, the NIA said in a statement. This verdict marks NIA's first conviction involving PFI operatives since the Government of India officially banned the organisation. On September 22, 2016, Sasikumar was hacked to death in Coimbatore. The targeted killing was executed with the clear intent to strike terror among a section of society and incite communal disruption across the region, it said. The incident sparked widespread violence across 6 districts, including Coimbatore City and Coimbatore Rural, prompting state authorities to register over 300 FIRs. The case was initially registered at Thudiyalur Police Station, Coimbatore, and was later investigated by CB-CID, Tamil Nadu. On the orders of the Central government, the case was entrusted to NIA and re-registered as RC-03/2018/NIA/DLI on January 22, 2018. Investigation established that the accused, being active members of PFI, entered into a criminal conspiracy and executed the targeted killing. After meticulous investigation, NIA filed a charge sheet and 2 supplementary charge sheets against 5 accused persons. The trial commenced in 2019, during which 75 prosecution witnesses and 2 defence witnesses were examined. The trial has now culminated in the conviction of 4 accused for offences under sections 302, 120-B and 153-A of the IPC, and sections 16, 18 and 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The Special Court acquitted one co-accused, identified as Abu alias Syed Abuthagir. NIA is currently reviewing the judgment and exploring all available legal avenues to challenge the acquittal in the appellate court.

Dengue cases surge in Tamil Nadu with onset of monsoon

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 19 (IANS) Dengue infections are rising across Tamil Nadu with the onset of the monsoon and the state health department said 244 of the 1,320 people tested across the state were confirmed to have dengue. Nearly 200 cases are being detected daily. Until September 15, Tamil Nadu recorded 16,577 dengue infections and nine deaths. Chennai remains the worst-affected district. As many as 156 people suffering from fever were admitted to hospitals in the city in a single day, and 87 of them tested positive for dengue. High numbers of cases have also been reported in Chengalpattu, Coimbatore, Tiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri, Salem, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Thanjavur and Villupuram. The government has intensified mosquito-control and disease-surveillance operations, deploying more than 25,000 workers across Tamil Nadu. The teams are engaged in eliminating breeding sources, conducting sanitation work and monitoring fever cases in vulnerable areas. District administrations and health officials have also been directed to strengthen preventive measures and ensure timely treatment. Health Minister Arun Raj told reporters in Chennai that dengue cases had shown a marginal increase during the past seven days, but urged people not to panic. The public has been advised to prevent water from stagnating in and around homes and to seek medical attention for persistent fever. Naam Tamilar Katchi chief coordinator Seeman blamed the TVK governments alleged negligence for the increase. He demanded the distribution of nilavembu decoction and kabasura kudineer on a war footing at places where people gather in large numbers. Meanwhile, Anna University student Harish Kumar died on Thursday after suffering from persistent fever. His death followed those of students Mridula and Jayashree four days earlier, causing anxiety on the campus. The Directorate of Public Health, however, clarified that Harish Kumar did not have dengue and died of scrub typhus. Amid the outbreak, Dr Reddys Laboratories is collaborating with Japans Takeda Pharmaceutical to introduce Qdenga, described as Indias first dengue vaccine, in the first half of next year. The vaccine, intended for people aged four to 60 and administered in two doses three months apart, is designed to provide protection against all four dengue virus types.

Regional Meteorological Centre forecasts heavy rain in 11 districts of Tamil Nadu today

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 19 (IANS) Eleven districts in Tamil Nadu, including the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, are likely to receive heavy rain on Saturday, according to a forecast issued by the Regional Meteorological Centre. The weather office attributed the anticipated rainfall to a trough extending from Maharashtra to the southeast Arabian Sea. Under its influence, widespread rain is expected across several parts of Tamil Nadu, with some districts likely to experience thunderstorms and gusty winds. The Nilgiris and Coimbatore districts are expected to receive heavy rain until September 22. Residents in vulnerable and low-lying areas have been advised to remain alert as intense spells of rain could lead to waterlogging and disruption of traffic. Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds is also likely at isolated places in Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Ranipet, Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, Tirupattur, Vellore, Kallakurichi and Madurai districts today. Moderate rainfall has been forecast for districts along the Western Ghats and several other parts of the state.
