Gujarat Doctor Found Hanging, Son Accuses MP Of Issuing Threat: Cops

Days after a doctor from Veraval town in Gujarat's Gir Somnath district died allegedly by suicide, his son submitted an application to the police seeking registration of an FIR against a Member of Parliament and the lawmaker's father for “threatening” the medical practitioner and usurping nearly Rs 1.75 crore.

The Veraval City police station accepted the application by Dr Atul Chag's son Hitarth on Friday, and started further investigation into the case, said Superintendent of Police Manoharsinh Jadeja.

Dr Chag, an MD Physician, was a well-known doctor of the Veraval region. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his hospital in the town on February 12. Police had found a one-line suicide note blaming the MP and his father.

While his family had claimed at that time that the note was indeed written by Dr Chag, police had said it had been sent for forensic analysis to ascertain its authenticity.

On Friday, Dr Chag's only son Hitarth approached the Veraval police station and submitted an application seeking registration of FIR against the lawmaker and his father under Indian Penal Code sections including 306 (abetment of suicide), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 506-2 (criminal intimidation).

As per the application, the MP and his father had a close relationship with Dr Chag for the last 20 years and the duo had borrowed nearly Rs 1.75 crore from the doctor in instalments since 2008 by winning his trust.

According to Hitarth, the MP's father had given four blank cheques to Dr Chag to win his trust. When the duo stopped responding to Dr Chag's repeated requests to return the money, the latter deposited one of the cheques of Rs 90 lakh in the bank but it was dishonoured, Hitarth said in his application.

When Dr Chag sought an explanation, the duo allegedly warned him of “dire consequences” and also threatened to abduct his only son. According to Hitarth, the MP had openly threatened his late father saying that nothing would happen to him as he is a lawmaker.

Days before the suicide, the duo had verbally abused Dr Chag and had also threatened to kill him and his son Hitarth for demanding the money back, as per the application.

The threat and the thought of losing money deeply upset the doctor, as per his son.

Hitarth further said that the note found by police on February 12 was indeed written by his father and his father took the extreme step out of shock and fear.

Haryana Cops Use Interpol's Format To Identify Man Found Dead In Croatia

In a first, the Haryana Police have identified a Kurukshetra man whose body was found in Croatia through DNA matching using the Interpol's standardised digital format, officials said on Saturday.

The body was identified as that of Parminder Singh, they said. In a statement, the police said this is the first time that a case of DNA matching has been done using Interpol's standardized digital format.

Initially, the Haryana Police had sent a physical DNA sample which could not be sent through the Interpol channels.

Later, the digital format of the DNA profile was collected by the Haryana Police from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Chandigarh, which was then transmitted to Croatia using Interpol channels on the same day, police said.

Kurukshetra resident Paramjeet Kaur had lodged a complaint, saying her son Parminder wanted to go to Italy but had instead reached Serbia, police said.

She later came to know that an unidentified body had been found in Croatia, which she suspected to be that of her son, they said.

The complainant expressed apprehension that her son may have been killed for money. Based on the complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections including Section 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the IPC at Pehowa Police Station in April, 2022.

A case was filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court by relatives of Parminder for identification of his body in Croatia.

In compliance with the November 2022 High Court order, the DNA sample of Paramjeet Kaur was sent by the Kurukshetra Police to the CFSL in Chandigarh for DNA profiling, it said.

After completing all the formalities, along with the submission of DNA profile of Paramjeet Kaur, communication was established with the Union Home Ministry, said police.

The Central Bureau of Investigation-International Police Cooperation Unit (CBI-IPCU) filed a status report in the High Court, detailing the communication made with NCB (National Central Bureau) - Zagreb (Croatia) and the steps being taken to identify the subject, the statement said.

The CBI had shared the digital DNA format of Interpol with Haryana Police and obtained a digital DNA format of the blood relative Paramjeet Kaur, the statement said.

The DNA sequence was mailed by NCB-New Delhi to NCB Zagreb (Croatia), police said.

It was matched by Croatian authorities and a positive identification was given on February 13, it said, adding that the information was given to Haryana Police and also to the family members of the man, the statement said.

The NCB - Zagreb (Croatia) informed about the positive identification of the dead body as that of Parminder Singh based on digital DNA profiling, it said.

Though the body has already been buried by the Croatian authorities, the family members will now proceed to claim the body with the assistance of the Government of India, it said.

In this case, the police did not resort to lengthy procedures like MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) or LR (Letter Rogatory) in DNA investigation, officials said.

MK Stalin Condemns Karnataka "Firing" Incident That Killed Tamil Nadu Man

The body of a 40-year-old man who went missing days ago on the inter-state border between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka was found floating on the banks of River Palar on Friday in Erode district, police said.

As villagers alleged he was shot dead by Karnataka forest personnel, tension prevailed in areas including Kolathur bordering the neighbouring State and Tamil Nadu and Karnataka authorities have deployed adequate policemen to maintain law and order. Vehicular traffic movement was also affected for sometime.

Tamil Nadu political parties condemned the 'killing' and sought action against those responsible for it. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin "strongly condemned" the "firing" incident. The deceased man was identified as M Karavadiayan alias Raja and he hailed from Govindapadi village of Kolathur in Salem District, police said adding his kin allege that he was shot dead by Karnataka forest personnel.

Raja was part of a group of 4 men which travelled to a forest area on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka inter-state border on February 14 and they were fishing in the river.

According to the local people, the allegation levelled by Karnataka personnel was that the group attempted to hunt and poach in the jungle. While he died after he was shot at, others reportedly sustained injuries and fled the spot.

Erode district police said that a probe under the CrPC is on over Raja's suspicious death. A truck driver, Raja faced allegations of hunting wild animals off Bargur and Mettur in Tamil Nadu and along the border with neighbouring Karnataka.

He faced a case in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka in connection with poaching. Also, a case was pending against him in Kolathur (Salem District) over gambling. On February 14, Raja had been to Chamarajaranagar bordering Tamil Nadu for hunting.

He could have 'accidentally drowned' or may have jumped into the river 'for some other reason,' police said.

It could have happened close to Mettur to Male ahadeshwara hills Road near Palaru River bridge between February 14 and 17. The incident was reported at 3 PM on Friday to the district police.

They declined to specify if Raja drowned after sustaining bullet injuries or if it was only a case of drowning. His body was found floating on the river bank and it was sent to Salem Government Medical College Hospital for autopsy, they said. Bargur police (Erode District) are investigating.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Stalin condoled the death of Karavadiayan and announced Rs 5 lakh as compensation to the family of the deceased.

He referred to the allegations of the victim's relatives about Karnataka Forest personnel shooting him dead.

"I strongly condemn the firing by the Karnataka Forest Department," he said.

The victim's family will be paid the amount from the Chief Minister's relief fund, he said in a statement in Chennai.

Pattali Makkal Katchi leader Anbumani Ramadoss said Raja was shot dead by Karnataka personnel while he was fishing and strongly condemned it. The Rajya Sabha MP said fishing is a routine activity, a source of livelihood and not a crime "The border area with Karnataka is part of India and it is not a border with Sri Lanka or Pakistan." In case, fishing is not permitted in waterbodies on the interstate border, those violating the norm could have been driven away or legal action may have been taken. Killing is a huge crime and unpardonable, he said. This is not the first time Karnataka indulged in opening fire and in 2018, a Tamil Nadu fisherman Palani was shot dead, he said.

In order to divert the issue, the Karnataka Forest department is spreading fake news that Raja opened fire on its personnel and he died in the ensuing clash. A case should be registered and Karnataka forest personnel involved in killing Raja should be arrested, Anbumani said.

He urged the Tamil Nadu government to provide Rs 50 lakh solatium and a government job to one of the family members of the deceased Raja.

CPI State Secretary R Mutharasan said Karnataka 'continued' to carry out such killings and condemned it. He demanded that the incident be probed by authorities and the kin of the deceased should be provided compensation.

MP: कुबेरेश्वर धाम में 24 घंटों में तीन साल के बच्चे समेत 2 की मौत, रुद्राक्ष वितरण रोका गया

मध्य प्रदेश के सीहोर जिले के कुबेरेश्वर धाम में लगातार लोगों की मौत की सूचना मिल रही है. गुरुवार को महाराष्ट्र की मंगला बाई की मौत की पुष्टि हुई थी. अब दो और मौत की सूचना मिल रही है. दो दिन के दौरान दो महिलाओं समेत तीन मौतें हो चुकी हैं, जबकि अनेक लोग बीमार हुए हैं और कई लोग अपनों से बिछड़ गए हैं. ऐसे में रुद्राक्ष वितरण रोक दिया गया है.

रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, रुद्राक्ष महोत्‍सव में अव्‍यवस्‍था और भगदड़ जैसी स्थिति के चलते 50 साल की महिला और तीन साल के बच्‍चे को जान गंवानी पड़ी हैं. कथावाचक पंडित प्रदीप मिश्रा द्वारा आयोजित रुद्राक्ष महोत्सव में जलगांव के विवेक विनोद भट्ट पत्नी और दो बेटों के साथ गुरुवार को आए थे.

भट्ट ने बताया कि 3 साल के बेटे अमोघ भट्‌ट की तबीयत पहले से थोड़ी खराब थी. गाड़ी की सुविधा नहीं होने से हम पैदल ही आए. रास्ते में बच्चे की तबीयत और बिगड़ गई. उसे जिला अस्पताल लेकर पहुंचे, जहां ICU में भर्ती कर लिया गया. शुक्रवार सुबह डॉक्टरों ने बच्चे को मृत घोषित कर दिया.

आयोजकों की ओर से यहां रुद्राक्ष का निशुल्‍क वितरण किया जा रहा था, जिसके चलते 16 से 22 फरवरी के बीच बड़ी संख्‍या में देशभर से लोगों की भीड़ कथावाचक प्रदीप मिश्रा के सीहोर जिले स्थित कुबेरेश्‍वर धाम में उमड़ी. कुबेरेश्‍वर धाम में अपर्याप्‍त इंतजामों के चलते श्रद्धालुओं को खुले आसमान, खेतों, पेट्रोल पंपों और यहां तक कि रेलवे स्‍टेशन पर भी डेरा डालने को मजबूर होना पड़ा. हालांकि अब भीड़ कम हो गई है.

India Has Shown World The Real Meaning Of "Anti-Fragile": PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday explained the concept of "anti-fragile" related to the people of India in the context of challenges faced by the world in the last three years due to the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Welcoming business leaders from across the globe at ET Global Business Summit, PM Modi said, "Generally the span of three years is not very long time but if we look at the last three years, then it seems that the whole world has travelled a lot of time. When we met last time then masks were not part of our daily life. People thought that vaccines are only for children and for people suffering from deadly diseases. People must have planned their holidays. But after 5 days of ET summit of 2020, WHO declared COVID as a pandemic. Then we saw in small time the whole world changed. So too India also changed."

"We have heard discussions about the concept of 'anti-fragile'. A system that not only faces the adverse conditions but uses them and becomes stronger. When I heard the concept of 'anti-fragile' then I thought of the strength of the people of India," he said.

PM Modi said that India has shown the world how to change any adversity into opportunity.

"In last 3 years, when the world was suffering sometimes from Covid pandemic, sometimes from war and sometimes from the challenges of natural disasters, India and Indians displayed unprecedented strength. India has shown the world the real meaning of anti-fragile," PM Modi said.

"India has shown the world how to convert an adversity to opportunity. By studying the capability shown by India at the time of the biggest crisis in 100 years, humanity will be proud of it after 100 years," he added.

कतर ने भारत के ‘फ्रोजन’ समुद्री खाद्य उत्पादों पर से प्रतिबंध हटाया

समुद्री उत्पाद निर्यात विकास प्राधिकरण (एमपीईडीए) ने शुक्रवार को कहा कि कतर ने भारत से ‘फ्रोजन' समुद्री खाद्य पदार्थ के आयात पर पिछले साल लगाया गया प्रतिबंध आंशिक रूप से हटा लिया है. हालांकि, ठंडे समुद्री खाद्यपदार्थो (चिल्ड सीफूड) के निर्यात पर प्रतिबंध जारी रहेगा, जो 2021-22 में 143 करोड़ रुपये मूल्य के पश्चिम एशियाई देश के कुल समुद्री खाद्य उत्पाद निर्यात का लगभग एक तिहाई हिस्सा है.

फ्रोजन समुद्री खाद्य पदार्थों को ‘माइनस 20 डिग्री' तापामान पर भंडारित किया जाता है, जबकि ठंडे समुद्री खाद्य पदार्थों के भंडारण का तापमान 3-4 डिग्री सेल्सियस होता है. एमपीईडीए के अधिकारियों ने कहा कि यह प्रतिबंध, फीफा विश्व कप से ठीक पहले पिछले साल नवंबर में लगाया गया था. उस समय भारत से वहां गई कुछ निर्यात की खेपों में हैजा संक्रमण करने वाले बैक्टेरिया- विब्रियो हैजा का कथित तौर पर पता लगा था.

कतर के अधिकारियों ने भारत को सूचित किया था कि फुटबॉल आयोजन के लिए उनके देश में पर्याप्त परीक्षण प्रयोगशालाओं की कमी के कारण प्रतिबंध अस्थायी है. एमपीईडीए के अध्यक्ष डीवी स्वामी ने कहा, ‘‘चीन द्वारा निलंबन में इसी तरह की छूट को देखते हुए, यह सप्ताह भारत में समुद्री खाद्य निर्यातकों के लिए बहुत अच्छा साबित हो रहा है. हम उम्मीद करते हैं कि स्थिति के पुनर्मूल्यांकन के बाद कतर द्वारा ठंडे समुद्री खाद्य पदार्थ पर लगे प्रतिबंधों को भी जल्द ही हटा दिया जाएगा.''

In Its Sena Order, Poll Panel's Big Remark On "Undemocratic Appointments"

The Election Commission on Friday lamented that party constitutions are often "mutilated" to undemocratically appoint people from a coterie as office-bearers without any election at all.

While delivering its final order allotting the name 'Shiv Sena' and its poll symbol 'bow and arrow' to the group led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the poll panel also observed that the constitutions of political parties ought to provide for free, fair and transparent election of office-bearers.

It also stressed on a free and fair procedure for the resolution of internal disputes.

"These procedures ought to be difficult to amend and should be amendable only after ensuring a larger support of the organisational members for the same," it said.

It said that by the time a dispute comes to the Commission, the party constitutions are often seen to have been mutilated to undemocratically appoint people from a coterie as office-bearers without any election at all.

Such party structures fail to inspire confidence of the Commission and it is forced to ignore the numerical strength of opposing factions in the organisational wing altogether despite being conscious of its importance and the role as the building block of the party.

This seemingly unjust situation is often a creation of the party itself which failed to create a robust constitution that provides for democratic structures within the party, it said.

It felt political parties should regularly disclose to public key aspects of its inner party functioning, such as organisational details and elections held.

"Am Taking Tipu Sultan's Name, What Will You Do?": A Owaisi Slams BJP

The first copies of the Constitution had the picture of Tipu Sultan, so will the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) burn it too, asked All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, while attacking BJP Karnataka chief's statement on Tipu Sultan.

Talking to ANI, the AIMIM said, "The Karnataka BJP chief said that supporters of Tipu Sultan should be killed. I am taking the name of Tipu Sultan, what will you do?"

"Does PM Modi agree with his views? It is an open call for genocide. This is nothing but pure hatred," he added.

He further said that the first copy of the Constitution had pictures of Rama, Lakshman, and Tipu Sultan.

"Those who made the Constitution loved the country much more than them (BJP). The first copy of the Constitution had pictures of Rama, Lakshman, Gautam Buddha, Akbar, Guru Nanak, Rani of Jhansi, and even Tipu Sultan. So, will the BJP burn it too," Mr Owaisi further said.

A Owaisi also attacked BJP leader Bandi Sanjay over his statement on the newly-built state secretariat.

"Shouldn't this be a matter of pride that a new state secretariat is being built in the state, which is even bigger than the Taj Mahal? It will help in bringing better governance. Why are you (BJP) talking about destroying it? Why can't you ever talk about uniting? What will you achieve by this?" he said.

Earlier this month, BJP leader Bandi Sanjay had stated that once BJP is voted to power in the 2023 Assembly polls, it would demolish the domes of the newly-built state secretariat since it reflected the culture of Nizams.

The inauguration of the Telangana Secretariat Building is scheduled for February 17th.

Notably, the Telangana Assembly elections are scheduled to be held this year.

Over Plans To Change Treasury System, Rajasthan Governor Seeks Explanation

Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra sought a clarification from the Gehlot government on its reported plan to replace the existing treasury system with a pay and account office system, and also expressed displeasure over the formation of commissions and corporations "without following" prescribed rules.

The Governor wrote two separate letters to the chief minister flagging these issues. He also attached a copy of the letter received from the Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General's office on the issue of the pay and account office system.

The governor's missives come in the backdrop of Rajasthan contemplating doing away with the existing treasury system of accounting.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has warned the state that the creation of a new mechanism would disrupt the compilation, preparation, and reporting of government accounts in the near term.

In a strongly-worded letter to the Rajasthan government last week, Deputy CAG K R Sriram said, "Any change in the existing scheme as per the Constitution and the Parliamentary enactment in this regard will require prior approval of the President and consultation with the C&AG of India."

A release from the Raj Bhawan said on Thursday, "The Governor has sent a copy of the letter dated February 9, 2023, received from the Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General regarding implementation of Pay and Account Office System in place of the treasury system currently implemented."

Instructions have also been given to inform the intention of the state government after conducting a detailed examination of Article 150 of the Constitution and Section 10 of the DPC of Act 1971, it said.

Article 150 of the Constitution says that the accounts of the Union and of the states shall be kept in such form as the President may, on the advice of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, prescribe.

The letter written by the CAG office said that it is "highly desirable" for the state government to re-evaluate the change in the treasury system and hold it till further consultation with the central government".

"Any creation of PAO (Pay and Accounts Office) by one State will derail the time-tested treasury system where huge human and digital resources have evolved along with corresponding treasury rules and with its inherent system of checks and balances and the linkage of entire IT infrastructure...," said the CAG letter, addressed to the Rajasthan chief secretary.

It quoted Constitutional provisions which mandate that the CAG will be responsible for compiling the accounts of each state from the initial and subsidiary accounts rendered to audit and account offices.

In the second letter, also sent to the chief minister on Tuesday, the Rajasthan governor expressed his displeasure with the state government for not following the prescribed rules for the formation of various commissions, corporations, boards, and appointment of office bearers in these institutions. 

The governor also expressed displeasure over the appointment orders issued recently without obtaining approval of the Raj Bhawan.

"In a letter written to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Governor Mishra has given instructions to take it seriously and clarify the situation in the matter," another release from the Raj Bhawan said.

In 2020, as the Gehlot government faced a crisis due to the rebellion by his then-deputy Sachin Pilot, there was a deadlock between the Raj Bhawan and the state government over-calling the assembly session.

The state government wanted to convene the session on a short notice but the governor turned down the cabinet proposal thrice saying a 21-day notice is required for calling the session.

The fourth proposal was accepted by the governor to call the session from August 14, 2020. The revised proposal fulfilled the condition of 21-day notice.

Patients Aged 65+ Can Now Register For Receiving Organs From Donor: Report

Patients aged 65 years and above can also register for receiving organs from a deceased donor now as the Centre has made necessary changes in the regulation, official sources said today.

They also said the Union Health Ministry has recommended all states to remove the domicile criterion so that needy patients can register themselves in any state for receiving organs.

The sources said the ministry also asked states not to charge any fee from patients seeking such registration, saying it was against the provisions of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Rules, 2014, An official said states such as Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Kerala have been charging anything between Rs 5,000 to 10,000.

The National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) has made necessary changes in the guidelines which now allows patients aged 65 years and above to register themselves for receiving organs from a deceased donor.

"For registering patients requiring organs of deceased donors, earlier the upper age limit was 65 years. With this restriction removed, patients of all age groups can register for deceased donor organs. The changed guidelines have been put on the website of the NOTTO," an official source said.

Besides, in some states only patients who are domiciles of that state are allowed to register or are given preference for deceased organ donors. Now, the Union Health Ministry has recommended all states to remove such restrictions so that needy patients can register themselves in any state for receiving organs, the official source said.

"It should be as per the waiting list. This will help patients in seeking transplants from deceased donors at any hospital giving a lot of flexibility," the official source said.

According to officials data, the number of organ transplants has increased from 4,990 in 2013 to 15,561 in 2022. The total number of kidney transplants from living donors have increased from 3,495 in 2013 to 9,834 in 2022 and from deceased donors, it has increased from 542 to 1,589 in 2022.

The total number of liver transplants from living donors has increased from 658 in 2013 to 2,957 in 2022 and from 240 to 761 in 2022 from deceased donor.

The total number of heart transplants have increased from 30 in 2013 to 250 in 2022 while lung transplants from 23 to 138.

Challenging Governor's Right Unfortunate, Says Punjab Congress Leader

Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa on Wednesday said challenging the right of the governor to call information about certain decisions of the state government was not only "unfortunate but also avoidable", amid a row between Governor Banwarilal Purohit and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Partap Singh Bajwa said there are many other challenges which are more pressing for the attention of the Chief Minister than to "embroil into undesirable and unpalatable controversies".

"The deteriorated law-and-order situation, precarious financial resources for fulfilling the aspirations of the people of Punjab, rising unemployment, agricultural crisis, environmental crisis, and seemingly insurmountable challenges being posed by narco-terrorism across the border, failing health infrastructure, and the consequent flight of industry from the state are some issues crying for whole-time attention of the government," the leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly said in a statement.

Even otherwise, Article 167 of the Constitution casts a duty upon the chief minister to furnish information relating to the administration of affairs of the state, Mr Bajwa said.

"Since the executive power of the state vests in the governor under Article 154(1) and every executive action is taken in the name of the governor, it is but a natural obligation on the part of the chief minister to furnish the information asked for by the governor," he said.

Punjab has been facing multiple challenges, therefore, the cordial relationship between the chief minister and the governor is the utmost necessity for the overall betterment of the state, the Congress leader said.

"Besides, the post of governor is constitutional, hence it deserves due respect. If the governor holds a government accountable or raises some irregularities in the functioning of the government, it must be addressed sincerely," Mr Bajwa said.

Moreover, constant situation disagreements between the governor and the chief minister are not signs of a healthy democracy, he said.

Mr Mann on Tuesday had questioned the criteria adopted by the Centre for appointing governors and the state's ruling Aam Aadmi Party demanded that Governor Purohit should be immediately shifted out.

The Chief Minister hit back at Governor Purohit after the governor questioned him on the process of selecting 36 government school principals for a training seminar held recently in Singapore, saying he has received complaints of malpractices.

Mr Mann had accused the Governor of interfering in the state government's affairs and, replying to Mr Purohit's letter made public Monday, indirectly questioned his credentials for the post.

Before Death By Suicide, IIT Student Spoke To Father For 30 Minutes: Cops

Police probing the alleged suicide by an Indian Institute of Technology Bombay student today said he had spoken to his father for around 30 minutes before ending his life, but did not mention anything about facing caste discrimination.

An official said the police have started recording statements of his hostel roommates to ascertain what led the student, Darshan Solanki, to take the extreme step.

A student organisation has alleged Solanki -- a Dalit -- was facing caste discrimination at the campus, but the IIT Bombay administration has refuted the charge.

The 18-year-old student died allegedly after jumping off the seventh floor of a hostel building on the Powai campus of the premier institute on Sunday (February 12). Solanki hailed from Ahmedabad and was a first-year student of BTech (Chemical).

A senior police official involved in the probe said statements of more than a dozen persons have been recorded so far.

Police had asked Solanki's parents, who visited the campus after the incident, if they have any complaint against anybody, he said.

As per statements available with the police, the student's parents had not raised any objection on probe or expressed doubt over their son's suicide, he said.

Solanki had spoken for half an hour with his father before ending his life, but during the conversation he had not said anything about facing discrimination in the institute, said the police official.

Solanki had told his father he will be visiting home on February 15, he said.

His was taken to Ahmedabad where last rites were performed on Tuesday, the official said.

"Police are thoroughly investigating the case and each and every aspect will be examined to know the exact cause of the suicide," he said.

Focus On Tea Gardens, Women, Government Employees In Bengal Budget

The Bengal budget has brought good news to government employees, with the state government announcing a 3 per cent hike in Dearness Allowance, which had become a hot political issue. The government employees have been protesting, demanding their dearness allowance be put on par with central government employees.
 
Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya presented the Rs 3.39-lakh crore budget for 2023-24, focusing on farmers and the tea industry, which has been facing problems. The budget also bore the imprint of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with a focus on farmers, youth and women's welfare, and numerous social welfare schemes of the state government. "This is an employment-oriented budget," the Chief Minister said.

In her budget speech, the finance minister positioned the state as a logistics hub. Rs 3000 crore has been allocated for rural roads under a special project named "Rastashree". This would involve construction of new roads and revamping of existing roads over 11,500 km in rural areas.
 
In a bid to encourage young people to start small businesses, a new scheme called "Bhavishyat Credit Card" was introduced with an allocation of Rs 350 crore. Under it, two lakh people between the 18-45 year age group will be provided bank loans of upto Rs 5 lakh to set up micro-enterprises and create employment opportunities.

One of the key schemes to empower rural poor women is Lakshmir Bhandar, which will provide "social protection" to 1.88 crore women. "In order to ensure continuity of financial support beyond 60 years of age, they will receive Rs 1000 per month by way of automatic transition to Old Age Pension Scheme," the minister said.

To provide relief beyond tax and mutation fee waiver for agricultural land to farmers, the minister announced a waiver on irrigation water. "I am happy to propose a full waiver of water rate on irrigation water," she said in her speech.

The budget has also increased the annual allocation for each MLA for local area development works from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 70 lakh.

The budget introduced relief for lakhs of tea garden workers and the ailing tea industry. "In consideration of the long-standing demand of the tea garden workers for legitimate land documents, my government will bring out a policy for issuance of homestead patta to the eligible tea garden workers," the finance minister said. Agricultural Income Tax on Tea Gardens has been waived for the next two financial years. Rural Employment Cess and Education Cess have also been exempted.
 
Politically, these announcements are likely to bring gains for the ruling Trinamool Congress in north Bengal, where the BJP has been making inroads.

The BJP MLAs, who came wearing masks with Rs 500 notes pasted on them, staged a walkout during the budget speech.

"The budget does not address burning issues and the aspirations of the people of West Bengal… there is an effort to make it a voter-oriented even though it seems like it has been written by the Chief Minister on her treadmill in thirty minutes," said Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari.

"It is not professional and the state's most important issues like infrastructure like ports, airports and roads have not been announced in the budget," he said.

Solution To Naga Political Issue At Final Stage: BJP Chief At Poll Rally

BJP president J P Nadda on Tuesday asserted that the solution to the Naga political issue is in the final stage as the Narendra Modi government is tirelessly working on it.

Addressing an election rally here, Nadda also said that the commitments given to Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation which was seeking a separate state will be fulfilled in letter and spirit.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi is eager to resolve the Naga political issue while Union Home Minister Amit Shah has tirelessly worked on it. It has come to the final stage," the BJP president said at the rally held in support of the candidates of the BJP and ally NDPP.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, Deputy Chief Minister Y Patton and state BJP president Temjen Imna Along are witnesses that the Centre has taken lots of efforts to solve the decades-old issue, he said.

Released the BJP's manifesto for Nagaland Assembly Election 2023. This Sankalp Patra of the BJP, encompasses a robust roadmap for the state's all-round holistic development & outlines the means to achieve continued progress, prosperity and peace in Nagaland. pic.twitter.com/oi2DzAfgZX

— Jagat Prakash Nadda (@JPNadda) February 14, 2023

To find a solution to the decades-old problem, the Centre government has been holding separate negotiations with NSCN-IM since 1997 and the Working Committee of Naga National Political Group (NNPG), comprising at least seven groups, since 2017.

The Modi government inked a Framework Agreement with NSCN-IM in 2015 and Agreed Position with NNPGs in 2017. However, the final solution is yet to be attained with NSCN-IM remaining adamant on its demand for a separate flag and constitution for the Nagas.

On the separate statehood demand of Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation (ENPO), he said that they have been discussing the issue with the Union Home Minister and whatever commitment has been given will be followed in letter and spirit.

The ENPO, which has been demanding a separate state - Frontier Nagaland - comprising six districts of Mon, Tuensang, Longleng, Kiphire, Shamatore and Noklak, had given a poll boycott call to press for their demand. They, however, withdrew it earlier this month.

"We understand the national commitment but also understand the regional aspirations of the Nagas and we have to assimilate and go forward," he said.

Nadda said the BJP is committed to go forward for the next five years under the leadership of Rio, also the NDPP president, in the northeastern state.

The NDPP and the BJP are contesting the February 27 assembly election with a 40:20 seat-sharing arrangement.

Rio, who was also present at the rally, conveyed gratitude for the Centre's support to the Nagaland government and assuring a firm coalition between the NDPP and BJP.

"We have come to the last part of the first term which has been successful and provided a stable government giving out the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Northeast," he said.

However, Rio regretted that a solution to the Naga political issue is yet to be reached though MLAs of all parties came together.

"The 60 members of the assembly came together to run an opposition-less government to show our commitment that we want a solution. But, I hope if we continue to work with dedication and commitment, a solution will be achieved as the prime minister and the Union home minister have shown the commitment to the solution," he said.

'Centre Wants To Convert J&K Into Hindu-Majority State": Farooq Abdullah

Reacting to Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on the restoration of statehood in Jammu and Kashmir, JKNC MP Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that they (the government) will give a truncated statehood after elections.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir will come up after assembly polls and that a call on the timing of elections will be taken by the Election Commission.

"I had clearly stated that statehood will be restored in Jammu and Kashmir after elections. Process of preparation of voters' list is nearing completion in the UT. Now, the Election Commission has to take a call on elections," Shah, in an exclusive interview with ANI, released on Tuesday, said.

To which Jammu and Kashmir's former CM said that he thinks they (the government) don't want to give statehood. "They will give truncated statehood after elections," he added.

Abdullah also alleged that the motive behind the delimitation exercise, completed in UT, is to turn J-K into a Hindu majority state.

"They think that we are fools, but we are not. We know what their intention is, if this was not their intention, they would not have done delimitation as well, as the way they did. They want that it should be converted into a Hindu-majority state," he added.

Earlier, in an interview with ANI, Shah also said that Article 370 pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir, which was abrogated by the BJP-led government in 2019, had harmed the country.

He said the way development is taking place in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorism is gradually ending.

"See all the figures, there is a lot of change in Jammu and Kashmir," he said.

He went on to add that removing Article 370 has been on the agenda of BJP and Jan Sangh. He also referred India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the context of Article 370.

"Since 1950, it was on our agenda to remove Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. Today, the way Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing development and decrease in terrorism shows that changes that are coming," he said.

Shah said those slamming the BJP should answer in whose tenure terrorism grew in Jammu and Kashmir.

"As far as elections are concerned, do they not remember the local body polls, these were held under our rule, these did not take place for 70 years. Three families were holding sway in Jammu and Kashmir and they are making noise...Farooq Abdullah had gone to England. In whose tenure, terrorism grew, who allowed it to grow, there should be an answer," he said.

पूर्व सेना प्रमुख बाजवा चाहते थे मैं रूस की निंदा करूं लेकिन मैंने... : पाकिस्‍तान के पूर्व PM इमरान खान का दावा

पाकिस्तान के अपदस्थ प्रधानमंत्री इमरान खान ने दावा किया कि पूर्व सेना प्रमुख जनरल कमर जावेद बाजवा चाहते थे कि वह (इमरान) यूक्रेन पर आक्रमण के लिए रूस की निंदा करें, लेकिन उन्होंने भारत का उदाहरण देते हुए ऐसा करने से इनकार कर दिया था. इमरान ने सोमवार को छात्रों और धार्मिक विद्वानों से बातचीत के दौरान कहा, “(एक साल पहले प्रधानमंत्री रहते हुए) रूस की यात्रा से लौटने पर जनरल बाजवा ने मुझसे यूक्रेन पर रूस के हमले की निंदा करने को कहा था. मैंने उनसे कहा कि अमेरिका का रणनीतिक सहयोगी भारत तटस्थ रहा है, इसलिए पाकिस्तान को तटस्थ रहना चाहिए.”

पाकिस्तान तहरीक-ए-इंसाफ (PTI) के प्रमुख इमरान खान ने कहा कि उनके इनकार करने के बाद जनरल बाजवा ने अमेरिका को खुश करने के लिए एक सुरक्षा सेमिनार में खुद रूस की निंदा कर दी. पिछले साल अप्रैल में अविश्‍वास प्रस्‍ताव के जरिए सत्‍ता से बेदखल किए गए 70 वर्षीय खान ने अपनी रूस यात्रा को सही ठहराते हुए कहा, “मैं रूस गया और राष्‍ट्रपति व्‍लादिमीर पुतिन को पाकिस्‍तान को भारत के मुकाबले सस्‍ती दरों पर गेहूं और ईंधन देने के लिए मना लिया. रूस के समर्थन से, भारत ने अपनी मुद्रास्फीति को 7.5 प्रतिशत से घटाकर 5.5 प्रतिशत कर दिया, लेकिन पाकिस्तान की मुद्रास्फीति की दर 12 प्रतिशत से बढ़कर 30 प्रतिशत हो गई.” पाकिस्‍तान के पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री इमरान ने कहा कि बाजवा चाहते थे कि वह अमेरिका को खुश करने के लिए पुतिन की निंदा करें. उन्होंने कहा, “लेकिन मैंने पाकिस्तान के हितों को ऊपर रखा.”

Man Cheated "Hundreds Of Doctors" Of Crores With Foreign Trip Bait: Cops

The Uttar Pradesh police on Tuesday said it has arrested a person who duped "hundreds of doctors" across several states to the tune of crores of rupees on the pretext of arranging foreign travel packages, officials said.

The accused, who identified himself as a medical representative of a leading pharmaceutical company, was arrested by the Noida unit of the Cyber Crime team from West Bengal, officials said.

Inspector Reeta Yadav, in-charge of the Noida cyber crime police station in Noida, said the case against Vishal Pandey (31) was lodged over a complaint by a Greater Noida-based doctor who claimed a fraud of Rs 18.72 lakh with him.

“Pandey worked with Glenmark Pharmaceuticals as an FSO in Raipur, Chhattisgarh but lost his job in 2017 after demonetisation. He has an MBA degree and graduated from the Banaras Hindu University. He is a native of Bardhman district in West Bengal,” Mr Yadav said.

“In June 2022, the Greater Noida-based doctor had lodged a complaint that Pandey had offered to arrange a family tour package to Dubai and taken Rs 18.72 lakh through bank account transfers and Paytm transfers fraudulently,” the inspector said.

Subsequently, investigation was taken up in the case and the accused was caught from his house in West Bengal, Mr Yadav, who led the arresting team, said.

Investigation also revealed that Pandey has duped hundreds of doctors using the same modus operandi and fraudulently made “crores of rupees”.

He has duped doctors in Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, West Bengal, among other states, the inspector said.

An FIR has been lodged against him under Indian Penal Code sections 419 (cheating by personation), 420 (cheating), 467, 468, 471 (all three related to forgery of documents), and under provisions of the Information Technology Act, she said.

After months of delay, a dozen wild cheetahs from South Africa will finally arrive around 12 noon on Saturday in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park (KNP), where eight such felines were brought from Namibia last year, a wildlife expert associated with India's cheetah revival project said on Monday.

These big cats - seven males and five females - will embark on journey to their new home thousands of miles away aboard an Indian Air Force (IAF) transport aircraft from the OR Tambo International Airport, Gauteng, South Africa on Friday evening, the project participant and expert told PTI.

He said the South African cheetahs will first arrive at the Gwalior Air Force base in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday morning and 30 minutes later they will be transported some 165km away to KNP in Sheopur district by IAF helicopters.

After landing at KNP around 12 noon, they will be put into quarantine bomas (enclosures) after half an hour (12.30 pm), added the expert.

KNP Director Uttam Sharma said they have set up 10 quarantine bomas for South African cheetahs. In two of these facilities, two pairs of cheetah brothers would be kept.

"We have completed our preparations to receive the big cats on Saturday," he added.

Experts said a delegation from South Africa visited KNP in early September last year to see arrangements at the wildlife sanctuary for housing the world's fastest land animals.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between India and South Africa last month for the translocation of the mammals last month.

South Africa has donated these big cats to India. But India has to pay USD 3,000 for the capture of every cheetah to the African nation before they are translocated, said the wildlife expert.

India had planned to airlift these South African cheetahs in August last year but couldn't do so due to delay in signing a formal translocation agreement between the two countries.

Due to the delay in the MoU signing for the inter-continental translocation of these big cats, some experts had in December expressed concern over the health of the South African cheetahs as these animals have been quarantined in their home country since July 15 in anticipation of their transfer to India.

As a result of long quarantine, these animals might have lost their fitness, they had said.

Prolonged quarantine could be taking a toll on the health of these felines, who are slated to join the eight cheetahs imported from Namibia and released into KNP in mid-September, the experts had said.

In fact, the 12 South African cheetahs earmarked for India have not hunted for themselves after being kept in bomas, wildlife experts in the know of India's cheetah reintroduction plan had said.

Three of them have been kept in Phinda quarantine boma in KwaZulu-Natal Province and nine in Rooiberg Quarantine boma in Limpopo Province, they said.

Seven of the cheetahs have lost fitness to a considerable extent as they have not hunted even once since July 15, one of the experts told PTI last month.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on his 72nd birthday on September 17, had released eight cheetahs flown in from Namibia into KNP amid a lot of fanfare, setting the ball rolling for the revival of their population in India where these distinctively spotted cat species became extinct seven decades ago.

These fastest land animals from Namibia – five females and three males – are currently in hunting enclosures at the park before their full release into the wild.

In August, the SA cheetahs selected by Indian officials for translocation had completed one-month in quarantine, but they couldn't be airlifted to KNP in absence of approval from the South African government. Around Independence Day, the eight Namibian cheetahs had not completed their quarantine period so the Indian government could not bring them to KNP as well, the experts said.

As per Indian wildlife laws, a month-long quarantine is mandatory before importing animals and they are required to be kept in isolation for another 30 days after arrival in the country.

The experts said the spotted animals' metapopulation (cheetah count in small and medium parks) in South Africa has risen to 504 from 217 in 2011.

The last cheetah died in India in Koriya district of present-day Chhattisgarh in 1947 and the species was declared extinct in 1952.

Former Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh had initiated 'Project Cheetah' in 2009 under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government with an aim to reintroduce the wild cats in India.
