Medical evidence raises fresh questions in ex-Kerala Minister Veena George attack case
Digital Desk | Kannur, Oct 27 (IANS) The investigation into the alleged attack on former Kerala Health Minister Veena George by KSU activists has taken another turn. Doctors who treated her have reportedly told the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that she had no visible external injuries. The doctors at Pariyaram Medical College in Kannur district said she was admitted to the intensive care unit because of swelling in her neck, according to information emerging from the investigation. The SIT has recorded statements from the doctors and collected her medical records from the hospital. The latest findings come days after Veena George's former gunman, Abhilash, reportedly told the SIT that he had given his initial statement against the Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists at her direction. He had earlier alleged that the activists used weapons to attack the then minister. Based on his complaint, the police registered a case against five KSU activists, including the charge of attempt to murder. The five activists were arrested and spent 16 days in judicial custody before securing bail. Abhilash has now reportedly told investigators that he did not witness the alleged weapon attack. His latest statement has raised questions about the original complaint and the serious charges brought against the activists. Another woman inspector has now told the SIT that she did not give any statement to the investigators then, but was surprised to see a statement attributed to her. The SIT is preparing to submit a report to the Director General of Police (DGP), recommending action against Abhilash for allegedly giving a false statement. The incident took place on February 25, when KSU activists staged a black flag protest against Veena George at Kannur railway station. She was the Health Minister in the previous CPI(M)-led government. The original complaint alleged that the protesters had attacked her with weapons. However, the investigation has brought fresh scrutiny to that account. Statements from police personnel present at the railway station and the available CCTV footage have also raised questions about the allegation of a weapon attack. The case has become a major political controversy in Kerala. The five activists faced serious criminal charges following the initial complaint. The SIT was constituted after the Congress-led UDF government came to power and ordered a further investigation into the case. The latest medical statements and the proposed action against the former gunman are expected to be important aspects of the investigation. The SIT's findings will be crucial in establishing what happened at the railway station and whether the original complaint was supported by evidence.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top
JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99. Wicketkeeper-batter Saksham Purohit was unbeaten on 113, and his opening partner Yash Dubey made 84. At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps. Centuries from Arjun Azad and Nehal Pajni powered Chandigarh past 350 for the loss of three wickets against Himachal Pradesh. In the Plate group, Meghalayas Ajay Duhan (167) and Kishan Lyngdoh (144) shared an unbroken 308-run stand for the second wicket as their side piled up 385/2 against Mizoram in Nadiad. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps.

Kerala: 224 iPhones bought for Rs 7.16 crore, several missing; vigilance probe ordered
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram Oct 26 (IANS) Two hundred and twenty-four iPhones purchased for Rs 7.16 crore, along with fundus cameras, are lying unused in Kerala's government hospitals, with several phones reportedly missing. The state government will order a Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) probe into alleged corruption and wasteful expenditure in medical equipment purchases. Health Minister K. Muraleedharan disclosed this in the Assembly on Monday after this issue was raised as a submission by Congress MLA Abin Varkey Kodiyattu. The revelations also include 128 ventilators supplied under the PM CARES scheme that remain unused at four government medical colleges. Two oxygen generator plants supplied to Alappuzha Medical College have failed to produce oxygen at the required volume and pressure. Much of the equipment under scrutiny was purchased during the COVID pandemic, when the first Pinarayi Vijayan government was in office. The inquiry, however, covers purchases made during other periods as well. The 128 unused ventilators are at the medical colleges in Kottayam, Manjeri, Kannur and Kozhikode. The government cited concerns over quality, operational reliability and maintenance costs. The two oxygen generator plants at Alappuzha Medical College, supplied through the Kerala Medical Services Corporation Limited (KMSCL), have not been made fully operational. The minister said the government had appointed a special team headed by the Principal Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department to examine the quality of equipment, the need for the purchases, installation failures and the reasons for prolonged non-use. Reports relating to medical colleges have been received and are under examination. Unused equipment has also been identified at Health Department institutions in Wayanad and Ernakulam. Muraleedharan said public money spent on medical equipment could not be allowed to go to waste. The government would examine the responsibility of officials and take appropriate action. The government is also considering the redistribution of usable equipment to hospitals where it is needed. It has a Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Programme and district-level monitoring mechanisms. The proposed Vigilance probe comes amid mounting questions over procurement decisions, installation failures and the prolonged non-use of costly equipment meant to improve public healthcare.
