Murder accused hotelier shot at for attacking cop

BENGALURU: Kaggalipura police shot a 50-year-old murder accused in the leg, after he allegedly attacked a policeman during a spot mahazar. The accused, S Somesha, a resident of Sarakki in JP Nagar 1st Stage, is a rowdy sheeter in JP Nagar police station. He was absconding in Uttar Pradesh after killing his close friend in December last year. On credible information, police arrested him in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and brought him to Kaggalipura police station early on Saturday. After completing the arrest formalities, they took him to the place where he had disposed of the body, and the weapon used to commit the offence. Police said Somesha was taken to Smashana Road in Uttarahalli, Bengaluru South, on Saturday afternoon, when he allegedly attacked a head constable, Medappa (40), in a bid to escape. He was shot in his left leg and shifted to Kaggalipura Government Hospital for surgery. The accused, a hotelier, is said to be involved in four other murder cases, besides other heinous crimes. On December 5 last year, the accused killed his friend Ayyappan Chilladorai Thevar, who had taken money from Somesha to start hotels at Anjanapura and Mumbai, and failed to return it. After incurring loss in business, Thevar was unable to return the money, and despite this, he sought financial help from the accused again. Frustrated over this, the accused and two others had strangled Thevar to death using a cable wire. The accused had then disposed of the body on Kaggalipura Tank Bund. The weapon was thrown inside a eucalyptus grove on Bannerghatta Road. Somesha then travelled towards Hubballi and had burnt the clothes that he wore at the time of the murder, said an officer.

RRTS corridor: Average daily ridership jumps four times after inauguration

NEW DELHI: The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) in Ghaziabad has witnessed a significant increase in average daily ridership, quadrupling since the inauguration of the second 17 km section of the high-speed corridor last week, according to National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). The initial 17 km priority section, linking Sahibabad and Duhai Depot, was opened for public use, comprising five stations including Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and Duhai Depot. These stations witnessed a daily average ridership ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 passengers. The subsequent addition of the second section, which includes Muradnagar, Modinagar (south), and Modinagar (north) stations on March 8 has further boosted the daily ridership for the entire 34 km corridor to 12,000 commuters. Both sections were inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The RRTS, Indias first Regional Rail Service, offers a unique rail-based commuter service for regional transit in the National Capital Region. The corridor spans 82.15 km from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Modipuram in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, making it the countrys inaugural RRTS. Modinagar (north) and Ghaziabad stations collectively contribute to 25 per cent of the daily average ridership along the 34 km stretch. Previously, Sahibabad and Duhai stations were the busiest hubs when only the first section was operational. Officials are considering integrating the Meerut (south) station with the existing 34 km section, expecting a further surge in passengers from Meerut.

Sakhas grow, RSS bifurcates Kerala into north & south prant committees

KOZHIKODE: The growth in the number of sakhas in Kerala has prompted the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to bifurcate its existing prant committees into two in the state. The decision was taken at the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha in Nagpur from March 15 to 17. Ernakulam will be the headquarters of the south committee, which will include districts from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam. Districts from Kasaragod to Thrissur will come under the north committee, to be headquartered in Kozhikode. RSS sources told TNIE that discussions on the bifurcation had been on in the organisation for a long time. Usually, a prant committee has around 2,000 sakhas under it. In Kerala, we have over 4,000 sakhas now, said a top RSS leader in Kerala. The RSS leadership said a new prant committee has been formed in Kerala for organisational convenience. We have four prant committees in Uttar Pradesh and three in West Bengal. The need for bifurcation was felt in Kerala too, said a source. The decision has also come as a relief for workers, said the source. There was an issue of workers and leaders from Kasaragod travelling to Thiruvananthapuram for meetings. Organisational works will be easier with the setting up of a new committee, said the source. The RSS has 37 sangh districts in Kerala. Under the new arrangement, 17 of them will come under the north committee while the remaining 20 will come under the south. S Ramesan and K K Balram will be prant sanghchalaks of the south and north committees, respectively.

Uttar Pradesh: Cracks surface in SP over Congress tieup, ticket to outsiders

LUCKNOW: Akhilesh Yadavs decision to give party nominations to three outsiders in the fifth and latest list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections has not gone down well with the party rank and file. Many aspiring Samajwadi Party leaders from western UPs Nagina, Meerut and Bhadohi seats feel disappointed. The party nominees declared in the third round of candidate selection on Friday, especially in a few western UP seats, have fueled discontent. The party preferred Advocate Bhanu Pratap Singh from the Meerut seat and retired additional district judge (Bijnor) Manoj Kumar from Nagina in Bijnor district while sparing the Bhadohi seat for Trinamool Congress, an INDIA ally. Party insiders say sitting MLA Atul Pradhan of Sardhana in Meerut district was an aspirant for the ticket from Meerut. He was ready to field his wife if the party did not select him. The BJP has been winning from Meerut since 2014, and Rajendra Agarwal has been the MP twice. The BSP was the runner-up in 2014 and 2019. After the list, Pradhan wrote on X: The people of Meerut prayed for me. I apologise to you for not getting a chance. Even the candidature of Manoj Kumar, the partys choice for Nagina Lok Sabha constituency, has also caused some resentment. Manoj Kumar joined the SP only recently. It was speculated that the SP would leave the Nagina constituency, a reserved seat, for Azad Samaj Party chief Chandra Shekhar Azad Ravan. Current party MLA Manoj Kumar Paras was also seeking a ticket from the seat for his wife Neelam. Girish Chandra was the joint SP-BSP candidate for Nagina in 2019. BSP MP Sangeeta joins BJP BSP MP Sangeeta Azad, who represents Uttar Pradeshs Lalganj seat in the outgoing Lok Sabha, joined the BJP on Monday in the presence of several senior leaders of the ruling party. The Dalit leader was inducted into the BJP by its national general secretary Vinod Tawde, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak and state BJP president Bhupendra Singh. Tawde assured that the BJP will give Azad full opportunity to make her contribution

Cong to name candidates for remaining 18 Lok Sabha seats in MP on Tuesday: Functionary

Cong to name candidates for remaining 18 Lok Sabha seats in MP on Tuesday: Functionary The Congress will declare its candidates for the remaining 18 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday after a meeting of its Central Election Committee (CEC) which will finalise the third list of nominees for the April-May polls, a senior party functionary said on Monday. The grand old party has left one seat, Khajuraho, bordering Uttar Pradesh, for its INDIA alliance partner Samajwadi Party which is yet to announce its candidate for the constituency. Madhya Pradesh has 29 Lok Sabha seats and the BJP has nominated candidates on all of them, while the Congress has released 10 names so far in the state and 18 contestants remain to be finalised. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is scheduled to chair a CEC meeting on Tuesday in New Delhi to take a final call on the remaining 18 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh, the party's state unit media cell chief, KK Mishra, told PTI. The screening committee has already forwarded the names of candidates to the party's poll panel, he added. ''We are sure that the party will nominate the rest of the candidates tomorrow (Tuesday) as our leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Nyay Yatra has concluded,'' Mishra added. He rejected suggestions in some quarters that senior Congress leaders in Madhya Pradesh were shying away from contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls due to the party's poor showing in the assembly elections held in November last year. Mishra alleged the BJP was behind creation of such a perception of the Congress. ''There is no dearth of leaders in the Madhya Pradesh Congress. These are accusations of the BJP which itself has run out of leaders. And that is why they are buying our leaders,'' he alleged. According to another senior leader of the Congress, the party is likely to give tickets to three to four women candidates. No woman was named in the list of 10 candidates announced for the state by the Congress last week. The Congress has so far released two list of candidates, containing a total of 82 names, for different states. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party (SP) said it will name its candidate for the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat, where voting will take place on April 26, this week. ''We are going to nominate our candidate for Khajuraho in the next three to four days,'' SP national spokesman Yash Bhartiya said. Madhya Pradesh will vote in four phases between April 19 and May 13. In the 2019 general elections, the BJP won 28 of the 29 seats in the state with the Congress managing to bag just Chhindwara, the home turf of party veteran Kamal Nath, whose son Nakul emerged victorious from the constituency. Nakul Nath has been fielded again from Chhindwara.

IOA dissolves ad-hoc committee after successful trial completion, lifting of ban on WFI by United World Wrestling

IOA dissolves ad-hoc committee after successful trial completion, lifting of ban on WFI by United World Wrestling The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Monday dissolved the ad-hoc committee which was appointed to handle the day-to-day activities of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), saying that there is no need for the body following lifting of the ban on the federation by United World Wrestling (UWW) and the successful completion of selection trials for future competitions. UWW lifted the ban on WFI in February with immediate effect. The UWW had placed the WFI under provisional suspension on August 23 last year after the federation failed to hold an election in the stipulated time following accusations of sexual harassment and protests against ex-president Brij Bhushan Singh by top wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik. An ad hoc committee was put in place. In late December, elections were held and Sanjay Singh was elected as the new president of WFI. However, the wrestlers protested against his election, saying he was an aide of ex-president Brij Bhushan. Days after the elections, the Ministry suspended the federation again, a decision that came after Sanjay had announced the hosting of the U-15 and U-20 nationals at Nandini Nagar in the Gond district of Uttar Pradesh by the end of the year. An ad-hoc committee of IOA was put in place once again to handle the day-to-day affairs of the federation. The trials for men's and women's wrestlers were held from March 10-11. The Asian Wrestling Championships will be held from April 11 to 16, while, Asian Olympic Qualifiers will be held from April 19 to 21. IOA said in an office order that the decision to dissolve the Adhoc Committee comes in light of the lifting of the ban on the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) by the United World Wrestling (UVVW) and the successful completion of selection trials by the ad-hoc committee appointed by the IOA as per the directives of the High Court of Delhi. Consequent upon the aforementioned developments, there is no further need for running the activities of the WFI through an ad-hoc committee, it said. IOA noted that it is imperative that WFI, on the advice of UWW, appoints a safeguarding committee or officer to address concerns of abuse and harrassment of athletes and to make sure that all rules, regulations and guidelines set by UWW and other authorities are followed. The WFI is also directed to conduct the elections of the Athletes Commission in a time-bound manner, in accordance with the established procedures and guidelines. This step is essential to promote athlete representation and participation in the decision-making processes of the WFI, the order said. The WFI has also been instructed to repay the loan provided by the IOA to the Ad-hoc Committee for managing WFI's operations. (ANI)

BJP trying to 'grab' ECI for political purpose: TMC hits out at BJP over removal of WB DGP

BJP trying to 'grab' ECI for political purpose: TMC hits out at BJP over removal of WB DGP Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh on Monday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the removal of West Bengal's Director General of Police, Rajeev Kumar and said that the BJP was trying to grab the ECI and other such organisations to fulfill their political purpose. Speaking to ANI over the removal of the West Bengal DGP, Ghosh said, The BJP is trying its best to grab organisations like ECI and others. They are trying their best to grab and monitor their jobs only to fulfil their political purpose. So, according to their program, their planning, and requests from different states, they have done this. The BJP is trying to help their state organisations because they know that in the elections, the BJP will be defeated in most of the seats in West Bengal. We are confident that the BJP may transfer a few of the officers but the public is with the Trinamool Congress and didi (Mamata Banerjee). The TMC will defeat the BJP, said the TMC leader. This comes after the Election Commission of India (ECI) issued orders on Monday for the removal of West Bengal's Director General of Police, Rajeev Kumar, ahead of the ensuing Lok Sabha polls. The DGP had been in the spotlight after the BJP and other opposition parties criticised the Bengal police for alleged inaction in giving justice to the victims of Sandeshkhali. The Sandeshkhali area had been witnessing unrest after women protestors sought justice against alleged atrocities committed by Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Sheikh Shahjahan and his aides. The ECI also issued orders for the removal of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner Iqbal Chahal along with some other senior officials from various states. The poll body ordered the removal of certain key officials from six states in what it termed a decisive move towards upholding the principles of free, fair and transparent elections. Home Secretaries in six states-namely Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have been asked to step down. Additionally, the secretaries of the General Administrative Department in Mizoram and Himachal Pradesh have been removed. Meanwhile, the Election Commission also directed all state governments to transfer officers connected with election-related work, who have completed three years or are in their home districts. The officials who have been removed in these seven states were found to be holding dual charges in the office of Chief Minister in respective states, which may potentially compromise or be seen to be compromising the impartiality and neutrality required during the electoral process, especially in matters relating to law and order, deployment of forces, etc. Through these measures, the Commission says it has ensured that all stakeholders uphold the highest standards of integrity and impartiality, thereby safeguarding a level playing field in the entire electoral process.
