Police arrests Rohit Shekhar Tiwari's wife for his murder
Delhi Police on Wednesday arrested Rohit Shekhar Tiwari's lawyer wife Apoorva on charges of his murder, citing a "turbulent and unhappy" marriage as the motive, a senior police official said. Rohit Shekhar, the son of the late veteran politician N D Tiwari, was smothered to death on the intervening night of April 15 and 16, an autopsy report said.

Unfazed by trolling, Urmila Matondkar says she is here to stay
Urmila Matondkar, leading Bollywood actor of the 90s who joined the Congress recently, says she has faced a lot of trolling on social media and personal attacks after her entry into politics, but asserted that she is here to stay.

My intentions are clear," Matondkar, who is pitted against the BJP's sitting MP Gopal Shetty, told PTI. "Women should understand they need to have nerves of steel to be in politics. I understand criticism, but have had to face negativity, dirt and filth. I have not played the victim card in all these days. I am here to stay," she said.

Govt agency to probe top lawyer's corruption charges against BPRC
Special Public Prosecutor Ravi Goenka, a member of the controversial Bombay Presidency Radio Club (BPRC), is literally in the eye of a storm. Days after he alleged that the committee members of the club were involved in "massive corruption and embezzlement of funds" and mid-day reported the matter on February 27, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs appointed sleuths of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office, a government agency, to investigate the case. Not only this, after Justice (retd) D K Deshmukh issued an inquiry report against him, Goenka challenged it in the Bombay High Court, which set it aside and appointed justice (retired) S J Vazifdar as the new inquiry officer in the case.
The letter of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs dated March 28 reads that the "complaint regarding the huge malpractices and irregularities against the subject company has been forwarded to the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai, for further action".

Chandrababu Naidu: NDA will not win more than 150 seats
Amaravati: The NDA will not form the next government at the Centre as the BJP, the main constituent of the alliance, will not win more than 150 seats in the ongoing general election, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu said here Monday.
On the other hand, he claimed the TDP would "win 1000 per cent" the just-concluded election to the state assembly.
Naidu, however, did not hazard a guess on the number of seats the Telegu Desam Party might win. He conducted a eight hour review meeting with party candidates here in batches to take stock of the post-poll scenario and sought to keep their morale up by saying the TDP would retain power in the state. At the same time, he also sought to write off the NDA though he admitted there were fissures in 'mahagathbandhan,' a group of parties opposed to the BJP.
"There are troubles in our alliance, but the NDA will not form the next government at the Centre," Naidu said, referring to the Congress-AAP face-off in New Delhi and other states.

Bengaluru: Around 100 staff members of the ailing Jet Airways Monday staged a demonstration here, urging the government to intervene and bail out the airline.

This evening, the employees, dressed in their uniforms, staged the demonstration at Town Hall in the heart of the city. Holding aloft placards, they raised slogans like 'Save our families, save Jet Airways', 'Don't make us cry, give a chance to fly' and 'Humko Tum Na Dhoka Do, Udne ka ek Mauka Do' (Don't ditch us, give a chance to fly).
'We pay loads of tax, Don't get us under the Axe' and 'We have dependents to feed, please don't let our 9W bleed' read the messages in some of the placards. Milind Paradkar, an engineer with Jet Airways, urged the government to infuse some funds to keep Jet Airways afloat.

Olive Ridley hatchlings begin new journey from Gahirmatha
Kendrapara (Odisha): The unique natural phenomenon - hatching of baby turtles sans their mothers - has begun at the idyllic beach of Kalam Island off Odisha coast in Kendrapara district, forest officials said. Like every year, the phenomenon has left the wildlife lovers awestruck and elated, they said.
In the past 72 hours, millions of turtle hatchlings, have emerged from the eggs, which were buried in the sand, and crawled towards the sea, the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Rajnagar Mangrove (wildlife) Forest Division, Prasanna Kumar Acharya, said.
The emergence of baby turtles mark the grand culmination of the annual sojourn of Olive Ridley sea turtles in Odisha's Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary, known as the Worlds largest nesting ground for these endangered species, he said.
Kalam Island is a part of Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary. More turtle hatchlings would emerge from the eggs in the next seven to 10 days, Acharya said. The beach will be swarming with turtle hatchlings in the c..

Pragya Thakur: Proud of my involvement in Babri Masjid demolition
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Malegaon blast accused and BJP's Bhopal candidate Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur on Sunday said she is "proud" to accept that she was involved in the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The Babri Masjid, built by Mughal emperor Babur in 1578 in Ayodhya, was on December 6, 1992, pulled down allegedly by a group of Hindu activists, claiming that the mosque was constructed after demolishing a Ram temple that stood there.
On being asked about her involvement in the demolition of Babri Masjid and if she would play a major role in building a Ram temple in Ayodhya, Thakur said: "I will go to make the Ram Temple. I have said it yesterday and I am not denying it that I had gone there. I have demolished Babri structure. He is my Ram ji and no one can stop me from making a grand Ram temple. The nation is Ram, Ram is a nation. We all will soon prepare a vision for it," she added.
The 2008 Malegaon blast accused, who had joined the BJP on April 16, also accepted that s..

Kanhaiya Kumar is hero on home turf Begusarai
It's a lot like great music, or a stand-up comic's act, which sounds as good on your speakers on YouTube, but the infectious energy of a live gig is still incomparable.
As is the case with CPI candidate Kanhaiya Kumar, 32, at a sabha in Nawab Chowk in Begusarai town, where we join his campaign. He gently tears into the Opposition to loud cheers on his perfectly-timed punch lines: "In five years, Smriti Irani jee's educational qualification has dropped from BA to plus-two… She should become a minister, but B-Tech [degree holders] pakoda taley (fry pakodas)?"
Throughout, Kumar presses on how his relatively mofussil hometown - it goes to poll on April 23 - has turned into Ground Zero this election. "Why did they field a minister [Giriraj Singh] here, but asked him to stay quiet about me? Is this Varanasi? Why is the [national] media here?"
The answer to the latter is certainly the former JNU students' union president, whose rise to prominence, much like the anti-corruption cru..
There is a caste system based on water in Mumbai, say urbanists
Come summer, the BMC always reminds us of the looming water crisis in Mumbai. This is followed by phased water cuts, ranging from 10 to 15 per cent. It's a pattern that has now become routine to how the city functions. The argument is that Mumbai doesn't have enough water and most likely never will, unless we have good rainfall. But, is the city staring at a drought? If urban planners and activists are to be believed, not yet.
As SUNDAY mid-day kick-starts its 'Bucket Sundays' campaign, we spell out issues concerning water in the city and why aqua warriors, who are fighting the big fight to save every drop, feel we need to push the envelope when tackling the problem.
"The truth is that we are not facing a water crisis in Mumbai," says Sitaram Shelar, convenor of Pani Haq Samiti, a nine-year-old collective that is working towards equitable access to water. "Currently, 3,800 million litres per day (MLD) of purified water is being distributed to the city's 1.5 crore population. If you d..

RPF constable hurt in train stone pelting between Vikhroli-Kanjurmarg
A Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable was injured in a stone pelting case, and has been identified as Ajay Kumar, attached with the Thane RPF post.

He was deployed in the handicapped compartment, and it was around 9.25 am when this incident happened.

The police have not yet identified what was it that hit him. He suffered an injury between eyes and nose, and was lucky that the object didn't hit his eye." The police added, "The doctor applied 18 stitches to stop the bleeding. However, the Kurla GRP is looking into the matter."

Sidhu: PM Narendra Modi helped industrialists, ignored government firms
New Delhi: Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he has behaved like a "business development manager" and benefited industrialists while "sidelining" the government companies.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, the Punjab Minister said that during Modi's rule, industrialists got 18 major deals.
"The Prime Minister, in the last five years, made 55 foreign trips and during those trips he was accompanied by two prominent industrialists who got maximum business deals," alleged Sidhu, a former BJP MP who joined the Congress two years back.
In the last five years, the government companies, which were earlier making profit, have now become loss-making companies, the cricketer-turned-politician claimed.
"The government defence companies, which had experience of over 50 years, were not given any contracts," he charged, adding, "I want to ask the Prime Minister why he thought about welfare of only two compani..

If it's Breach Candy, it must be the coastal road. It was a thunderous Thursday evening as locals, a majority from Breach Candy but several from Haji Ali, Warden Road and Nepean Sea Road, convened at Vaibhav building garden for a meeting. The hot button issue has divided the area, with one group called the Breach Candy Welfare Group protesting against the large number of trees to be cut at Tata Garden, for the project.
The Welfare Group also wants the Breach Candy interchange to be shifted to Scandal Point (next to the garden) to save a portion of the garden from being sacrificed. This Thursday meeting though, "was more about support for the Coastal Road and development. We wanted a better understanding of the project," said Breach Candy chartered accountant (CA) Dr Mitil Chokshi, one of the organisers of the event.
