Himanta Sarma Returns Charger To Flight Passenger, Gifts Him A Gamocha

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday expressed gratitude while he returned the mobile charger of a man he borrowed while travelling recently to Dubai from Delhi in an Emirates aircraft.

Taking to X, CM Sarma wrote, "Today, I returned the mobile charger I had borrowed from Deepak Kapoor, my fellow passenger on the Delhi-Dubai flight in his Noida Residence and offered his family an Assamese Gamocha as a token of gratitude. It brought me immense satisfaction."

"Deepak had given me the mobile charger without knowing anything about me. His selfless act touched me deeply, and I felt compelled to honour that rare kindness. I wanted to ensure that his spirit of helping a stranger lives on -- a small tribute to a truly generous soul," he added.

Today, I returned the charger I had borrowed from Sri Deepak Kapoor, my fellow passenger on the Delhi–Dubai flight in his Noida Residance and offered his family an Assamese Gamocha as a token of gratitude. It brought me immense satisfaction.

Deepak had given me the charger… https://t.co/VXvumAlJDd pic.twitter.com/j9zE9sqvwc

— Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) April 13, 2025

In the previous week, while boarding the flight of Dubai from Delhi, CM Sarma noted that he was travelling without a phone charger.

A young man sitting beside him noticed and, without hesitation, offered his international plug and charging cable.

It was a small but significant act of kindness, the kind that connects strangers in fleeting yet meaningful ways.

With a smile and a nod of appreciation, CM Sarma accepted the help and plugged in his device.

The journey continued smoothly, and as exhaustion set in, CM Sarma drifted off to sleep.

Hours later, the Chief Minister woke up to find that the plane had landed in Dubai, and the fellow passenger in his flight had exited the plane.

In the rush of disembarkation, amid the movement of passengers, baggage, and airport announcements, one crucial detail had slipped past him: he still had the charger and cable in his possession.

The young man had left without reclaiming them, unaware that his small gesture of kindness would lead to an unexpected twist in the journey.

In Amsterdam, CM Sarma found himself filled with regret.

"Today morning I travelled on an Emirates flight from Delhi to Dubai, where a kind young gentleman lent me his international plug and charging cable. Unfortunately, he disembarked in Dubai while I was asleep, and I couldn't return them. I've just now arrived in Amsterdam and feel deeply apologetic for not returning his belongings. If this message reaches him, please send me a direct message so I can arrange to return your charger and cable promptly. Thank you for your kindness, and I regret any inconvenience caused @emirates," the Chief Minister wrote on X.

CM Sarma also enlisted the help of the Assam Police, who immediately began working to identify the man.

Several Cops Injured During Anti-Waqf Protest Rally In Tripura

Several policemen sustained injuries during a clash between the security personnel and the agitators who held a protest rally against the recently enacted Waqf (Amendment) Act in northern Tripura's Kailashahar under Unakoti district on Saturday afternoon.

The protest, organized by the Kailashahar Joint Action Committee, began from Tilabazar and proceeded towards Kubjhar area as they did not get police permission and decided to organise it outside the municipal area. 

However, upon reaching Kubjhar, the situation escalated allegedly after a shoe was thrown towards the rally, which then took an ugly turn and a clash with police personnel followed. Bricks, stones, and glass bottles were thrown at cops. 

This left Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Jayanta Karmakar, Police Inspector Jatindra Das, and several other officers injured. 

The situation turned chaotic, forcing the police to resort to a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd. Protesters then fled the scene.

Police forces, including Tripura State Rifles (TSR) personnel and central paramilitary units, deployed in large numbers at the site included Kailashahar Police Station officer-in-charge Sukanta Sen Chowdhury, Irani Police Station OC Arundaya Das, and DSP Utpalendu Debnath.

Following the violence, the injured security personnel were rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

In the aftermath, Unakoti District Superintendent of Police Sudhambika R and Northern Range DIG Rati Ranjan Debnath visited the area to assess the situation. 

While the DIG later confirmed that the situation was under control, but some argument was seen between SP Sudhambika R and opposition Congress leader Md Badruzzaman who led the protest.

While DIG Rati Ranjan Debnath assured that peace had been restored in the area, protest leader Md Badruzzaman claimed that many protesters were injured due to police action and blamed the authorities for provoking the violence.

The incident has triggered fear and unrest across the Kailashahar subdivision, with police maintaining heightened vigil to prevent further disturbances.

President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, on April 5, as announced by the Law Ministry in a notification on the same day.

The Bill was recently passed by parliament after intense and lengthy debates in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The law seeks to improve governance by enhancing transparency in property management, streamlining coordination between Waqf boards and local authorities and protecting stakeholders' rights.

Tracks Blocked As Violence Breaks Out In Parts Of Bengal Over Waqf Act

There was tension in at least two pockets of West Bengal on Friday afternoon following protests by members of a community against the Waqf Amendment Act.

Tension prevailed at Nimtita and Suti in minority-dominated Murshidabad district on Friday, following clashes between the protesters and the security personnel. At Nimtita railway station, protesters blocked railway tracks for hours and vandalised railway properties.

Railway Police Force personnel later had to resort to lathicharge to bring the situation under control. The protesters had also thrown stones at the security personnel, some of whom were injured.

Later, Border Security Force personnel were deployed in the area and, as per the latest available information, the situation is largely under control.

Clashes also broke out between protesters and the state police personnel at the Sajur Crossing area under Suti police station in Murshidabad district on Friday, as the protesters reportedly threw stones and crude bombs towards police personnel.

A number of police personnel and some pedestrians were also injured. The police then lathicharged the mob. 

Additional police forces had been deployed in the area to keep the situation under control. However, tension prevailed in the area till the time of filing of this report.

Similar tension broke out at Amtala area in the South 24 Parganas district as people protesting against the Waqf Act attacked local police personnel there. The police retaliated, and traffic was impacted on National Highway 117 for quite some time.

The situation was similar at Champdani in Hooghly district of West Bengal.

Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari claimed that the state had been witnessing large-scale violence, anarchy and lawlessness in the name of protests by a certain group of radicals.

“These people, who have clearly stated that they are against the Constitution of India and would oppose the law of the land, have taken over the streets. Public and private properties are being vandalised at will. Public safety has been compromised as general people are at the mercy of these ruthless mobs of radicals,” he said.

The office of Governor CV Ananda Bose contacted the office of Chief Secretary Manoj Pant and conveyed a message from the Governor that the police should adopt prompt and strict measures to keep the situation under control.

Later, the Governor issued a video message claiming that he had been receiving disturbing reports about some people taking law and order into their hands in some parts of Bengal. He also informed that, on receipt of information about certain troubles likely to brew in certain parts of West Bengal, he had a confidential discussion with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

“Even today, when some of the disturbances broke out, discussions were held with the government authorities. The Chief Secretary has assured that the government is taking very stern action against the miscreants and will not allow disturbances to escalate. The state is prepared. All action will be taken against miscreants. Nobody will be allowed to take the law into their own hands,” the Governor added.

Central Forces, Manipur Police Discuss Coordination In Churachandpur, Kakching

A joint security meeting between central forces and Manipur Police discussed coordination efforts between the forces in Churachandpur and Kakching districts to maintain peace, a statement issued by Assam Rifles on Wednesday said.

The meeting was organised by Assam Rifles on Tuesday.

Representatives from the Assam Rifles in Kakching and Churachandpur, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Border Security Force (BSF) and Manipur Police personnel from Sugnu and Sangaikot police stations took part in the review meeting.

"The deliberations centred on strengthening collective efforts to preserve peace and stability in the area of responsibility (AoR), especially Sugnu and adjoining areas in Kakching district and Lailophai and adjoining areas in Churachandpur district," the statement said.

The meeting chaired by senior officials from Assam Rifles emphasised enhancing inter-agency coordination for a unified and effective security approach.

"The conduct of regular joint patrols across adjoining areas was proposed to improve operational synergy and build mutual confidence among the forces," it added.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of engaging with local communities to support sustainable livelihood initiatives.

India's Domestic Demand Big Magnet Amid US Trade Tariffs: Nirmala Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday that the resilience of the economy and strength of domestic demand will continue to make India an engine of growth amid the rapidly evolving global trade landscape as a result of US tariffs.

In an interaction entitled the ‘Opportunities and challenges for India's quest to become a developed economy by 2047' at the High Commission of India in London, she asserted that the economy was well placed to capitalise on domestic efficiencies and competitiveness as it tackles global headwinds.

“The world has seen depressed growth for over several years; earlier, it was low interest for long and now it's going to be low growth for long, and that's not happy news for anybody,” said Ms Sitharaman, who is in London on her first UK visit in her current Union Cabinet term.

“India has maintained its fastest growing economy tag continuously now for five years and we still think that momentum may moderate a bit, but it will still be India who will keep that growth… as our growth gets calibrated because of the consumption which exists domestically. It is backed by demand for global-standard goods and that is why globalisation since the 1990s has given India many opportunities,” she said.

“The US is the leading trade partner for India. So, at a time when trade is going to be influenced by tariffs, measures which the US government is taking, we still will have to make sure that the strength that India has in domestic demand as a big magnet which can attract global supplies must be sustained and boosted,” she noted.

The minister said the strength of this demand would prove attractive for foreign direct investment (FDI) and international manufacturing to supply for the domestic market and also export from India.

“We think India, and a few emerging markets, are going to be the engines of growth. The global depressed growth, if it has to pick up, will have to be because of these engines,” she said.

Walk On Knees, Lick Coins: Firm's Punishment For Underperforming Employees

A private marketing firm here has been accused of subjecting its underperforming employees to degrading treatment, including making them walk on their knees like chained dogs and lick coins from the floor.

The state Labour department has ordered a probe into the alleged inhuman workplace harassment after the disturbing visuals were aired by local television channels.

As the issue came to the light, state Labour Minister V Sivankutty ordered an inquiry into the undated incident and instructed the district labour officer to submit an immediate report on the incident.

The visuals purportedly showed a person using a leash to force a man to crawl on his knees on the floor, resembling a dog.

Later, some employees told a TV channel that those who fail to achieve targets were subjected to such punishments by the management of the firm.

According to police, the incident allegedly took place in connection with a private marketing firm functioning in Kaloor and the crime allegedly occurred at nearby Perumbavoor.

The police told reporters that they haven't received any complaint and the owner denied the allegations.

Quoting the owner of the firm, they said the alleged harassment might have taken place in a firm in Perumbavoor which used to market and sell the products of the establishment in Kaloor.

"No case has been registered so far and an investigation is underway," an officer said.

Labour Minister Sivankutty termed the visuals "shocking and disturbing" and said it cannot be accepted at any cost in a state like Kerala.

"I have ordered a probe into the incident and instructed the district Labour officer to submit a report in connection with the incident after carrying out a probe," he told the media.

Later in the day, the State Human Rights Commission registerd a case into the incident based on a complaint filed by High Court lawyer Kulathoor Jaisingh.

Meanwhile, the Kerala State Youth Commission also intervened and registerd a case on its own into the alleged harassment incident.

The panel directed the District Police Chief to submit a report in this regard.

In a statement, Commission Chairman M Shajar said legal action should be taken against such practices that are unacceptable in a civilised and democratic society.

"As a civilised society, we should collectively respond against such anti-social trends," he said.

Meitei, Kuki Teams Leave For Delhi To Attend Peace Talks On Saturday

Delegations of the Meitei and Kuki communities separately left for Delhi to attend peace talks scheduled on Saturday, sources said.

The meeting is part of the Ministry of Home Affairs' efforts to mediate between the two communities in the state where 250 people were killed and thousands were left homeless after violence began in May 2023.

The Meitei team comprises three members each from the All Manipur United Clubs' Organisation (AMUCO) and the Federation of Civil Society Organisations, a functionary of the FOCS said.

On the other hand, representatives of the Zomi Council along with those from the Hmar Inpi and the Kuki Zo Council also left for Delhi to take part in the meeting, sources in the Kuki groups said.

The AMUCO delegation includes its president Nanda Luwang, along with senior advisers Ito Tongram and Dhanabir Laishram.

Another team from FOCS, which has been actively advocating for the interests of the Meitei community, has also confirmed its participation in the talks.

Two days ago, the Kuki leadership based in Manipur's Kangpokpi district set three pre-conditions including no inter-district movement between Meitei and Kukis in the areas where the other community is in majority.

It is not immediately known whether the conditions were met.

There have been many efforts from the central government to bring the warring communities to the negotiating table. The Centre imposed President's rule in the state on February 13 after N Biren Singh resigned as chief minister.

'Fabricated Video, Lookalike': Woman Techie's Note Before Suicide

A 28-year-old woman software engineer allegedly took her own life in Nagpur after leaving behind a purported suicide note, claiming she was the victim of a conspiracy involving a fake video and threats to her life, police said on Thursday.

The engineer, who worked for a company in Pune, had returned to her hometown Nagpur, where she lived with her father, brother, and sister-in-law, around 15 days ago.

On Tuesday morning, when only her father was at home located in Mankapur locality, she asked him to step out to buy breakfast and later hanged herself, according to the police.

After police was called to her residence, they recovered an identical suicide note written in English and Marathi, in which she accused two individuals named Ritesh and Pratim of being responsible for her death, they said.

She also alleged that her roommate had issued threats to kill her. Additionally, she mentioned that her mobile phone was stolen from the Indore airport on March 5. Despite her attempts to lodge a complaint, the police allegedly refused to register it, citing the lack of a mobile bill, they said.

In the note, the techie also claimed she was being framed through a fabricated video featuring a lookalike. She denied making any religious comments, suggesting certain individuals were trying to falsely implicate her, informed the police.

Her family members revealed she had travelled to Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) from Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) before returning home. Since then, they had observed a change in her behaviour. She appeared to be under immense mental stress, refused to eat food prepared by others, and preferred cooking her own meals or staying hungry, said the police, quoting her family members.

A case of accidental death has been registered and an investigation was underway, they added.

Woman Kidnaps Live-In Partner After Fight In Bhubaneswar, Arrested: Cops

A 23-year-old woman was arrested in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday along with four people for allegedly kidnapping her live-in partner following a fight, police said.

A call was received at the Kharavel Nagar police station on Tuesday night that one Somanath Swain, 28, was kidnapped, and his family was asked to pay Rs 10 lakh for his release, they said.

The call was made by Somanath's sister, Anjita Nayak, who told the police that his partner, Prapti Sharma, might have knowledge about it, they added.

Commissioner of Police S Dev Datta Singh said the case was solved within six hours with the help of CCTV footage, mobile phone data, and five persons, including Prapti who hails from Jamshedpur, were arrested.

Somanath had been staying with Prapti at Jharpada for the last three years.

He had a quarrel with her on March 30 as he suspected her of having an affair with another man. Amid the heated exchange, Somanath assaulted Prapti, who then informed her elder sister about the incident, police said.

Her elder sister narrated the incident to her boyfriend Akash, who, along with three of his associates, arrived at Somnath's house in a car and abducted him, they said.

They kept him in a hotel and called his sister, demanding Rs 10 lakh.

Apart from arresting the five people, the police seized two cars used in the crime along with eight mobile phones, a wooden stick and a wooden plank.

Gujarat Firecracker Factory Blast Death Count Rises To 21, 6 Injured

Twenty-one persons lost their lives while six others were injured on Tuesday after an explosion and blaze ripped through a godown where firecrackers were allegedly stored and manufactured illegally, leading to the structure collapse in Banaskantha district, officials said.

The explosion, which occurred at approximately 9:45 AM, flattened the godown in an industrial area near Deesa town, around 30 km from the Banaskantha district headquarters.

"All the deceased persons were originally from Harda and Dewas districts of Madhya Pradesh," said district collector Mihir Patel.

He said 21 people were killed and six injured.

"The identity of 19 persons has been established, while DNA samples are being taken to identify two others," he said.

The blast was so intense that it sent body parts of workers flying 200-300 metres away. The impact brought down the RCC slab of the structure. Even family members of workers staying on the same premises were crushed to death after blocks of slabs fell on them, the collector said.

Minister Rushikesh Patel told reporters that seven fire teams, eight ambulances, a State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team and four bulldozers were rushed to the site for rescue operations.

Superintendent of Police Akshayraj Makwana said the casualties occurred after the slab of the godown collapsed following a blast.

He said forensic teams are trying to ascertain the cause of the explosion.

Makwana said the structure- Deepak Traders- was owned by father-son duo Deepak Mohnani and Khubchand Mohnani.

"Prima facie, they were stocking firecrackers illegally. Police have registered an FIR, and formed five teams for investigation. A special investigation team (SIT) headed by a Dy SP-level officer has also been formed," he said, adding that some persons have been rounded up for questioning.

Deesa Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Neha Panchal said the godown had initially obtained a licence for storing firecrackers but it was not renewed after it expired on December 31, 2024, due to lapses.

"They had applied for renewal of the license after it expired. After authorities found that the unit lacked proper facilities, the renewal process was put on hold," Panchal said.

Panchal stressed that the licence was only meant to store firecrackers.

"However, it seems they were prima facie illegally manufacturing firecrackers. Strong action will be taken for operating without permission," she said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed grief and announced an ex gratia of Rs 2 lakh to the next of family of the victims.

"Deeply saddened by the loss of lives in the explosion at a firecracker factory in Banaskantha, Gujarat. Condolences to those who lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon.

"The local administration is assisting those affected. An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs 50,000," the PMO posted on X.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also expressed grief and declared financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh to the families of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to the injured persons.

"The incident of the death of workers due to fire and slab collapse in a firecracker godown in Deesa is heart-breaking. My heartfelt condolences are with the relatives of the deceased in this hour of grief," Patel tweeted.

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav said the untimely death of workers hailing from his state in the incident was saddening.

Yadav on Tuesday night announced financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh each to the families of the deceased and Rs 50,000 each to the injured workers.

A team of Madhya Pradesh officials headed by a Cabinet minister is headed to Banaskantha for coordination.

"Cabinet Minister Nagar Singh Chauhan accompanied by police and administration officials has been sent to the site for coordination. In this hour of crisis, our government stands with the families of the victims and is committed to provide all possible help," Yadav said.

Meanwhile, opposition parties in Gujarat targeted the ruling BJP government, accusing it of negligence.

Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani demanded that the government provide Rs 1 crore as ex gratia to the families of the deceased and conduct a thorough investigation.

"The government is responsible for this tragedy. So far, 18 people have died. Gujarat's BJP government does not seem to care about people's well-being unless it impacts their election results," Mevani said.

He asked the government to release the correct toll of people killed in the incident.

AAP's Gujarat president, Isudan Gadhvi, criticised the administration for failing to monitor illegal firecracker factories.

"How can illegal factories operate without the administration's knowledge? Strictest action should be taken against those responsible, including BJP leaders and officials. If the government has the will, they should demolish the property of those guilty," he said.

"Learn From South": Raj Thackeray Weighs In On Language Row, Cites MK Stalin

The language battle from Tamil Nadu has found resonance in Maharashtra, with Raj Thackeray, the chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, saying the state ought to learn from the southern states about opposing the three-language structure of the National Education Policy and the alleged imposition of Hindi.

"Have you seen the southern states? Have you seen Tamil Nadu? See how they have opposed Hindi language,' said Mr Thackeray., whose party had long stood for Maratha pride and advocated the use of the language across the state.

"What is going on in Maharashtra? We are the ones who do not react... Every state's language should be respected," he said, urging his party workers to ensure that Marathi is spoken in Mumbai. 

Recently, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin had claimed that 25  Indian languages, including Marathi, had suffered because several states adopted Hindi. 

His son, Udhayanidhi Stalin, had even given a list of languages that are on the verge of dying out for lack of use. 

The DMK insists that its opposition to the three-language policy is based on this. The National Education Policy, the party has alleged, is meant to enforce a cultural homogenization that will rob India of its diversity and the southern states of their distinct cultural identity.  

The state has argued that its current two-language formula - Tamil and English -- serves it well and underscored that it is the second-largest contributor to the country's economy.

The BJP has also argued the National Education Policy  has a bouquet of languages other than Hindi for the third option and insisted that it does not force a student to study Hindi. The party has also maintained that the third language will help people travelling to other states. 

Madhya Pradesh, another BJP-ruled state, meanwhile plans to offer additional optional languages including Bengali, Marathi, Telegu, Tamil Gujarati and Punjabi in colleges.

While it is an ambitious plan, there is no word on faculty recruitment or on minimum enrolment required to roll this out. 

Inder Singh Parmar, the Higher Education Minister of Madhya Pradesh, said this will bring about "a hub of linguistic diversity".

The DMK has kept up the pressure on the Central government, demanding the release of funds withheld for not accepting the National Education Policy.

The education system in Tamil Nadu is number one in India. But they want to kill Macaulay model of education and go back to the Vedic system of education, said DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan.

Moon Sighted, India To Celebrate Eid Today

Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the culmination of the fasting month of Ramzan, will be celebrated in the country on Monday as the moon was sighted this evening.

Fatehpuri Masjid Imam Mufti Mukarram Ahmad told PTI that the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of the mosque contacted many places and was informed that the moon was sighted at several places.

Eid will be celebrated in the country on March 31, Monday, he said.

Describing Eid as a festival of brotherhood and harmony, Ahmad said, "On this occasion, we pray that brotherhood and harmony in the country continues to prosper and is strengthened with love." In Jammu and Kashmir, Grand Mufti Nasirul Islam said that the festival will be celebrated on Monday as the crescent moon was sighted at many places in the Union territory. "Reports of moon sighting have been received from various parts including Srinagar," the Grand Mufti told reporters in Srinagar.

Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated across the world on different days and it is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon which is supposed to denote the start of the Shawwal month in the lunar Islamic calendar.

Meanwhile, Muslim organization Imarat-e-Shariah-Hind also issued a statement confirming the sighting of the Eid moon in different parts of the country including in the national capital.

The statement quoted Maulana Najibullah Qasmi, secretary of the organization's Ruat-e-Hilal Committee (Moon Committee), as saying that it is announced that the "month of Shawwal will start from Monday, March 31 and special prayers of Eid-ul-Fitr will be offered tomorrow morning".

Meanwhile, Shahi Jama Masjid Imam Syed Shaban Bukhari said in a video shared on social media that the moon of the Islamic month of Shawwal was sighted in different parts of the country on Sunday, hence it is announced that Eid-ul-Fitr is on Monday.

Head of prominent Muslim organization Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Maulana Arshad Madani, in a post on Facebook, greeted people on Eid and said he prays that Allah makes this Eid "an opportunity to remove differences and promote the spirit of tolerance and love among us".

This year the month of Ramzan was of 29 days, while last year it was of 30 days.

According to the Islamic calendar, there are 29 or 30 days in a month, depending on the sighting of the moon. During the month of Ramzan, people do not eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset.

'Saw NRI Man Hitting Saif Ali Khan': Actor Amrita Ladak On Hotel Brawl Case

Bollywood actor Amrita Arora Ladak on Saturday deposed as a witness before a court here in the case concerning Saif Ali Khan, who was accused of attacking an NRI businessman and his father-in-law at a five-star hotel in 2012.

The actor was part of the group that had gone for dinner with Khan at the hotel when the alleged incident took place on February 22, 2012.

She told the court that the hotel had allotted a separate enclosure to them, and they were dining there and having a good time.

In the meantime, the complainant came there and began shouting and abusing them, she said.

"We saw someone barging into our enclosure and, in a very loud, aggressive voice, told us to shut up and keep quiet. We all got shocked at what was happening," she said, adding that actor Khan immediately stood up and apologised.

The man then left and they continued with their dinner, she said.

After a while, when Khan excused himself to go to the washroom, they heard loud voices, one of them being that of the Bollywood actor, Ladak told the court.

Moments later, they saw the man barging into their enclosure and hitting Khan, Ladak deposed.

Everyone then intervened and separated the two. That's when the man started abusing them and threatening them with "dire consequences", she added.

Khan was with Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karishma, Malaika Arora Khan, Amrita Arora Ladak and a few male friends at the hotel when the brawl broke out with NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma.

According to police, when Sharma protested the raucous chatter of the actor and his friends, Saif allegedly threatened him and subsequently punched Sharma in the nose, fracturing it.

The NRI businessman also accused Saif and his friends of hitting his father-in-law Raman Patel.

However, Saif had maintained that Sharma made provocative statements or rather used abusive language against women with him and this led to the ruckus.

Saif and his two friends - Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi - have been charge-sheeted under section 325 (assault) of the Indian Penal Code.

Woman's Decomposed Body Found Inside Bed Box In Delhi Flat

The decomposed body of a woman was found in a bed box, wrapped in a blanket, in a flat in Delhi's Shahdara on Friday, the police said. The owner of the house, Vivekanand Mishra, who is in his late 50s has been detained for questioning, the police said.

The police said they are trying to find out the identity of the woman, who is in her late 40s.

A call was received at Vivek Vihar police station about odour coming from a DDA flat in the area, the police said.

"When police reached the spot, they found the house locked from outside and traces of blood near the backdoor," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said in a statement.

On opening the flat, a woman's decomposed body was found inside a bed storage compartment, he said. It was wrapped in a blanket.

She appeared to have been killed two to three days ago, a senior police officer said.

During initial investigation, the police found Mr Mishra visited the flat on Thursday night and Friday afternoon, sources said.

Forensic teams inspected the crime scene and further investigation is on, the police said.

Can Writ Petition Be Filed Against Death Penalty? Supreme Court To Examine

The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would examine whether a writ petition could seek the review of its confirmation of death penalty in light of the 2022 verdict asking mitigating circumstances in such cases to be factored in.

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Karol and Sandeep Mehta was hearing a writ petition filed by death row convict Vasanta Sampat Dupare, whose sentence was confirmed by the apex court in 2014.

His review petition against the November 26, 2014 verdict was also dismissed by the apex court on May 3, 2017. He then filed mercy petitions before the Governor and the President, which were also rejected in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

In 2017, while dismissing the review petition of Dupare, who had raped and stoned to death a four-year-old girl, the top court called it a case of "extreme depravity".

Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, appearing for Dupare, said the top court court would have to examine the question whether the 2022 verdict, which said mitigating circumstances have to be considered by trial courts in death row cases, would apply in this matter or not.

Advocate general of Maharashtra, however, said the convict couldn't file a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution to challenge an order of the Supreme Court which has attained finality and he had to file a review petition instead.

Justice Nath agreed with the submission of the advocate general and wondered if the Supreme Court while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 32 could hear the appeal over the three-judge bench verdict confirming the conviction and the sentence.

"Would it not be appropriate if you come up with an application in that proceedings itself that can be considered? It is a dangerous proposition that after any judgment or a matter which is closed can be opened up under Article 32," the judge said.

Sankaranarayanan referred to two 2014 verdicts of the apex court in death row cases and said both were passed on writ petitions.

Justice Karol asked Sankaranarayanan, "In view of the submissions of the advocate general, are our hands not tied under Article 32?" The bench suggested Sankaranarayanan to file a review petition for an examination by the apex court.

The senior lawyer then sought time to persuade the court, which posted the hearing on April 3.

Dupare, hailing Nagpur, killed the child in April 2008.

He had lured her with chocolates and after raping her, crushed her head with stones to avoid identification of the body.

"We'll Be Ruined In 3-6 Months If...": P Chidambaram's Warning On US Tariffs

Congress leader P Chidambaram asked the government to spell out India's response to US President Donald Trump's threat of tariff war, alleging that no discussion in parliament or consultation with Opposition parties has been held over the matter.

He called for finding common ground with other nations that share the same interests in pushing back against Mr Trump, and warned that if Mr Trump starts picking out individual countries and applying different tariffs, the affected nations could be left to fend on their own. 

In an interview to NDTV, Mr Chidambaram said if the Indian government's perception is that America is taking one step forward and two steps backwards, it must have a policy to counteract that.

"I mean, it can't be in uncertainty. Of course, Americans are uncertain, let's assume so. But you must have alternative scenarios. What if they take one step forward? What is our response? What if they take two steps backward? What is our response? And that response need not be made public to the whole world, but at least there must be a statement in parliament, or there must be a consultation with opposition parties. We are completely in the dark," Mr Chidambaram, who was Union finance minister under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, told NDTV.

"In fact, my information is, most ministers are in the dark. Who is involved in making this reactive policy to America's uncertain policy? I don't know. Nobody seems to know," he said.

Mr Trump's decision to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all auto imports has cast uncertainty over India's nearly $7 billion of exports to the US, which industry fears could squeeze margins. Automobiles and car parts imported to the US would face a 25 per cent tariff starting April 2.

While India is not a big exporter of cars to the US, Tata Motors' luxury car subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is deeply entrenched in the American market. Indian auto ancillary firms will see the biggest hit as they export a lot of components to the US.

About a fifth of the revenue of India's auto component sector is derived from exports. Of this, 27 per cent is to the US market alone.

"I think the government is making sort of impromptu, unilateral, knee-jerk decisions. For example, in the Budget speech, they got rid of the 2 per cent tax. Day before yesterday, the finance minister announced that the 6 per cent digital service tax, popularly known as the Google tax, will go. Now, what more are they going to concede to Mr Trump?" Mr Chidambaram said.

"If you don't wish to have a public discussion in parliament, then you should at least invite the principal opposition parties which are represented in parliament and take leaders into confidence of what alternative scenarios are being worked out," he added.

Mr Chidambaram defended his comment that most ministers are in the dark on this matter.

"I think at the moment, only the external affairs minister and perhaps the commerce minister who went on a delegation to the US are privy to what is going on. I don't think other ministers know. I'm sure the agriculture minister does not know. I'm sure the industries minister does not know. But they are making concessions? I don't know. Are you making concessions on agriculture? Are you making concessions on industrial goods? Are you making concessions on intellectual property? I don't think anybody knows," the former Union finance minister said.

He said India should put its interest first, but many countries are finding common ground in acknowledging that unilateral tariffs imposed by the US are unacceptable.

"There are WTO rules; there are multilateral and bilateral trade agreements; there are international laws and conventions. So if you want to rewrite the tariffs of several countries, you must hold a discussion. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada is doing. He has taken his parliament into confidence, at least the leaders into confidence. And he says we will coordinate with the European countries and respond to Mr Trump's unilateral tariffs," Mr Chidambaram said.

"Now, I'm sure the oil producing countries are also coordinating among themselves. We are a major agricultural exporter. We are a major textile exporter. We also export a lot of industrial goods. So we must band together with countries which are in the world market for agricultural exports, textile exports, and industrial goods exports, and evolve a common approach. You see, if he [Mr Trump] picks one country at a time, and imposes tariffs, it will ruin the economy of that country.

"Suppose he picks India, and he leaves other countries out. Suppose President Trump picks India and says, 'these are the tariffs from goods exported from India', we'll be ruined. In a matter of three to six months, our economy will be ruined.

"I'm afraid Mr Trump is not going to group all the countries together and impose universal tariffs. He's giving a number for each country, what they have calculated, I'm told, calculated as the average weighted trade tariff. And he's going to pick one by one and force them to surrender. If he does that, and if he picks India, other countries will say, 'we have not been picked up'. So unless you take action to forestall such picking out countries, and imposing tariffs, you'll be left high and dry after the first attack," Mr Chidambaram said.

"Time We Re-Wrote What Black Means": Kerala Bureaucrat To NDTV

Kerala Chief Secretary Sarada Muraleedharan, who triggered a long overdue conversation online about colorism after facing the brunt of it, told NDTV today that she had deleted her post and then restored it after being asked to by a number of people. "It is high time we re-wrote what black means," she said, "because unless we claim its beauty it will just be absence of colour," she added. 

The Chief Secretary had posted her response after being at the receiving end of comments that juxtaposed her skin colour against her work to imply there was something wanting.

It was "interesting", Ms Muraleedharan told NDTV. While she has been used to comments about her dark skin since a young age, and comparison of her tenure with that of her husband -- former Kerala Chief Secretary V Venu. 

"It was interesting to see both of them brought together under one colour paradigm," she told NDTV in an exclusive interview. 

The third dimension there, she added, was that of gender. In her post on Facebook, the 1990-batch IAS officer had said she heard a comment on her performance as Chief Secretary: "that it is as black as my husband's was white".

She said she had initially deleted her post because of the "overwhelming response".

"But people called up to say as a Chief secretary what she said was important and brings out an issue that needs to be discussed," she added. 

Ms Muraleedharan said the common perception about black was what she had absorbed -- so much so that as a four-year-old, she had asked her mother to put her back in the womb and "bring me out again, all white and pretty".

That perception changed only when she saw herself with the eyes of her grown up children. Today, she said, "I dig black".

"Black is the all-pervasive truth of the universe. Black is that which can absorb anything, the most powerful pulse of energy known to humankind. It is the colour that works on everyone, the dress code for office, the lustre of evening wear, the essence of kajol, the promise of rain," she wrote.

Simultaneous Polls Do Not Trample Constitution: Attorney General To Joint Panel

Attorney General R Venkatramani told a parliamentary panel on Tuesday that the bills for simultaneous elections do not trample on any feature of the Constitution and are good in law, sources said.

With a few of the legal experts who have appeared before the Joint Committee of Parliament sharing concerns of some members over certain aspects of the constitution amendment bill, R Venkatramani asserted that the proposed laws do not require any amendment, the sources said.

Opposition parties have slammed the bills as violative of the Constitution.

However, former Delhi High Court chief justice D N Patel, who is currently serving as Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal chairman, in his presentation dwelt on the positives as well as challenges facing the "One Nation One Election" proposal, noting the concept is good for the nation but adding any proposed law can always be improved on.

Justice Patel cited policy continuity, enhanced governance with a focus on long-term policies, informed voting with people in a position for better assessment of the performance of political parties and cost reductions as positives.

He, however, noted "federalism concerns with potential impact on state autonomy", a risk of national issues overshadowing regional ones besides the constitutional hurdles of the need to amend some of the Articles as among the challenges facing the proposals.

He said the tenures of some of the assemblies could be extended in a step towards synchronization of state polls with the Lok Sabha elections, an idea not part of the current bills.

The sources said Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned if countries like Sweden and Belgium can be compared with a country like India when Patel cited them as examples of the global practice of simultaneous polls.

She also said all the claims about the benefits of simultaneous elections are mostly conjectures, as no study has been done.

R Venkatramani, the sources said, told the members that he is the Attorney General for India and not the government, in an apparent attempt to dispel any impression that he will side with the government's opinion on the matter.

He told the members of the committee headed by BJP MP P P Chaudhary that he would submit replies to their further questions sent to him.

Mr Chaudhary later told reporters that simultaneous elections are in the interest of the country, and the committee is deliberating on the best ways to carry it out.

The views received by legal luminaries will help the panel form its recommendations, he said.

"Will The Law Equally Deployed Against...": Kunal Kamra On Studio Vandalism

Comedian Kunal Kamra condemned the demolition of a studio in Mumbai where supporters of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde barged in and protested against his jokes on Mr Shinde.

Mr Kamra in a post on X said an entertainment venue is merely a platform and has no power or control over what he says or does, so attacking a venue is "senseless".

"An entertainment venue is merely a platform. A space for all sorts of shows. Habitat (or any other venue) is not responsible for my comedy, nor does it have any power or control over what I say or do. Neither does any political party. Attacking a venue for a comedian's words is as senseless as overturning a lorry carrying tomatoes, because you didn't like the butter chicken you were served," Mr Kamra said.

Referring to what he called "political leaders threatening to teach" him a lesson, Mr Kamra said the right to freedom of speech and expression is "not only to be used to fawn over the powerful and rich even though today's media would have us believe otherwise".

"Your inability to take a joke at the expense of a powerful public figure does not change the nature of my right. As far as I know, it is not against the law to poke fun at our leaders and the circus that is our political system," the comedian said.

He said he is willing to cooperate with the police and courts for any lawful action taken against him. However, he raised a question, "... Will the law be fairly and equally deployed against those who have decided that vandalism is the appropriate response to being offended by a joke? And against the unelected members of the BMC, who have arrived today at Habitat, without prior notice, and tore the place down with hammers?"

Mr Kamra said he may opt for Elphinstone bridge or any other structure that needs to be demolished as his next show's venue.

The bridge he referred to saw a stampede in September 2017, killing 23 people. Before the tragedy happened, Mumbaikars had been raising concern over the condition of the bridge and asked the authorities to demolish the old bridge and make a new one. One post on X (then Twitter) a year before the incident tagged the Prime Minister and the then Railway Minister and it turned almost prophetic.

Mr Kamra also criticised people who have been constantly calling his number.

"To those who are busy leaking my number or calling me incessantly: I am sure you've realised by now that all unknown calls go to my voicemail, where you will be subjected to the very song that you hate," he said. "To the media faithfully reporting this circus: Remember that press freedom in India ranks at 159. I will not apologise. What I said is exactly what Mr Ajit Pawar (1st deputy CM) said about Mr Eknath Shinde (2nd Deputy CM). I don't fear this mob and I will not be hiding under my bed, waiting for this to die down," the comedian said.

The action against the studio by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) came a day after Habitat Studio and Unicontinental hotel where it is located were ransacked on Sunday night by Shiv Sena workers.

A temporary shed and other structures comprising the studio, which was created in the basement of the hotel, has been razed, a civic official said.

"It was removed as there is no civic permission to create a studio in the basement. The BMC will check the hotel to see if everything is as per the allowed plan," the official said.

Earlier on Monday, Habitat Studio announced they were shutting down after Shiv Sena workers vandalised their premises.

In an Instagram post, the studio said they were "shocked, worried and extremely broken by the recent acts of vandalism targeting us."

Habitat Studio is the same venue where the controversial 'India's Got Latent' show was filmed. It also led to a huge controversy in February.

'Heavy Rush' At Delhi Railway Station But 'No Stampede': Officials

Heavy passenger congestion due to delay in the departure of multiple trains led to chaos at the New Delhi Railway Station on Sunday but there was "no stampede" or "stampede-like" situation, Railway officials said.

According to the police, no injury was reported. However, there was an extra rush at platform numbers 12 and 13 due to delay departure of a few trains.

Senior officials like Senior Commandant RPF and Station Director NDLS are present at the station for better management, a senior official from Railway board said.

There was heavy rush but no stampede or stampede like situation at NDLS, the railway official said, adding that protocol of taking unreserved passengers through holding area is being used.

Now, a few trains have left and the situation is under control, the police said.

AC Compressor Blast Kills 3 Children, Woman In Haryana's Bahadurgarh

An explosion in a house in Haryana's Bahadurgarh on Saturday claimed the lives of three children and a woman, while a man sustained serious injuries. The blast was reportedly caused by an air conditioner compressor explosion at the house, where the victims were living on rent.

The intensity of the explosion caused significant damage, leading to panic in the area. Neighbours alerted authorities and police, along with fire brigade teams, rushed to the spot. Visuals from the house showed smoke billowing out and some parts still on fire.

Officials are probing the exact cause of the blast to determine whether it was due to a technical malfunction or other factors. The injured man has been hospitalised and further investigation is underway.

Supreme Court Judges Visit Manipur, Open Free Legal Aid, Medical Camps

Manipur witnessed a historic event with the visit of five judges of the Supreme Court where Justice BR Gavai, who is also the Executive Chairman of NALSA, virtually inaugurated free legal services camps, free medical camps, and four legal aid clinics from Churachandpur district.

Justice Gavai was accompanied by other Supreme Court judges Justices Vikram Nath, MM Sundresh, KV Viswanathan, and N Kotiswar Singh.

Manipur High Court Chief Justice D Krishnakumar, high court judge and MASLSA Executive Chairman Justice A Bimol Singh, high court judge Justice A Guneshwar Sharma, and high court judge Justice Golmei Gaiphulshillu were also part of the programmes.

The medical camps held at 106 relief camps covered all the 290 relief camps by joining relief camps that are nearby together. Some 400 doctors and 800 supporting staff worked at the medical camps.

The four legal aid clinics were inaugurated at LMS Law College, Nongpok Sanjenbam, Thongkhong Laxmi Bazar in Imphal, and Somdal village in Ukhrul.

The chief secretary, director general of police, judicial officers, senior lawyers, members of the Bar, district administration officials, representatives of departments, etc attended the inauguration.

Justice Gavai said the Constitution guarantees all citizens access to justice in a speedy and affordable manner. To fulfill this, the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) reaches out to the remotest areas of the country, he said.

A just society is built on principles like accessibility to justice, healthcare, and opportunities that empower individuals, Justice Gavai said, adding internally displaced people who are among the most vulnerable face significant challenges in rebuilding their lives.

"It is our moral and constitutional duty to ensure that they are not left behind in this process," Justice Gavai said.

The legal services institutions will play a crucial role in ensuring that displaced people get their rightful entitlements. The special legal aid clinics set up by MASLSA within the displaced communities will offer free legal assistance, empowering people to seek justice and protect their rights, Justice Gavai said.

He assured displaced people that legal services institutions stand with them in their journey towards rebuilding their lives.

"Our country is a true example of unity in diversity. Manipur is going through a difficult time but with the assistance of everyone, the legislative, the executive and the judiciary, these difficulties will be over soon," Justice Gavai said.

The Supreme Court judges distributed sanad of 41 newly enrolled lawyers from Churachandpur and study materials to the re-enrolled students. Relief material comprising jumbo box, mosquito nets, emergency lamps and milk powder for infant and children, buckets, mugs and diapers were also distributed to displaced people in Churachandpur and Bishnupur districts.

PM Modi To Visit Sri Lanka On April 5

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Sri Lanka on April 5, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said on Friday.

Mr Dissanayake was delivering a statement in Parliament when he announced the date for PM Modi's visit, according to news portal Adaderana.lk.

As announced by Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath last week, PM Modi will arrive here to finalise agreements reached during President Dissanayake's visit to Delhi last year.

The president also told Parliament that the construction work on the Sampur Power Plant in the eastern port district of Trincomalee is scheduled to commence at the same time as the Indian PM's visit.

Mr Dissanayake said PM Modi is visiting Sri Lanka due to the stability of the country.

Last month, Sri Lanka and India reached an agreement for setting up of solar power plants in the island country, Health Minister Nalinda Jayathissa announced.

"Consensus has been reached between the government of Sri Lanka and the government of India to establish solar power plants capacity of 50 Megawatt (stage 1) and 70 Megawatt (stage 2) at Sampur in Trincomalee on the basis of construction, ownership, and operation by the Ceylon Electricity Board and National Thermal Power Corporation of India as a joint venture between two governments," Mr Jayathissa said.

Earlier, NTPC of India was to construct a coal power plant at the same site. The new joint venture sees it being converted to a solar power station.

Days after Mark Carney replaced Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada, India, on Friday, recalled "the downturn in India-Canada relations". New Delhi squarely blamed the "licence given to extremists" under Justin Trudeau for the strained ties, hoping to rebuild them after the change in Canada's leadership.

Justin Trudeau's ouster was complete last week when Canada's ruling Liberal Party replaced him with a new prime minister. An entirely new Cabinet was sworn in on March 14. Both Ottawa and New Delhi now hope to rebuild ties, which currently are at a historic low.

On a question regarding Canada at a weekly press briefing, India's Ministry of External Affairs today said that "The downturn in India-Canada relations was caused by the license that was given to the extremist and secessionist elements in the country", adding that "Our hope is that we can rebuild our ties based on mutual trust and sensitivity."

Shortly before taking oath as Prime Minister, Mark Carney had also expressed his keenness to build on ties with "like-minded countries" and had called the chance to rebuild ties with India as an "opportunity" he would like to work on.

"What Canada will be looking to do is to diversify our trading relationships with like-minded countries - and there are opportunities to rebuild the relationship with India. There needs to be a shared sense of values around that commercial relationship, and once I am the prime minister, I look forward to the opportunity to build that," he had said.

DOWNTURN IN INDIA-CANADA TIES UNDER JUSTIN TRUDEAU

Ties between India and Canada saw a sharp decline after a surge in incidents of radicalisation and extremism by rogue elements of 'Khalistani' separatist groups, which Justin Trudeau permitted, describing them as "free speech" and "freedom of expression". Effigies of a former Indian prime minister were allowed to be burnt, the Indian flag desecrated and disrespected, Indian Embassy and Consulate staff and premises being threatened and attacked openly, and audio and video clips of India-declared terrorists openly threatening hijacks and attacks on Indian soil, are just a few examples of what happened.

Last year, Justin Trudeau had also attended an event where 'Khalistan' slogans were raised as he addressed the gathering. On multiple occasions, Mr Trudeau had, "without a shred of evidence", accused India of orchestrating the killing of 'Khalistani' separatist and designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Justin Trudeau's government had also designated the Indian High Commissioner and other embassy officials as "persons of interest" in the investigation over the Nijjar case. He was later declared a "persona non grata" by Trudeau's government, after which New Delhi recalled the then incumbent high commissioner over Canada "going too far". In a tit-for-tat move, India sent Canadian high commission officials packing home as ties came to a near-standstill.

Later, when Mr Trudeau admitted publicly that he had "no hard evidentiary proof" of the involvement of Indian government officials in the killing of Hardeep Nijjar, New Delhi responded by saying that "The responsibility for the damage that this cavalier behaviour has caused to India-Canada relations lies with Prime Minister Trudeau alone."

For months, India had repeatedly urged Ottawa to "stop providing criminal and secessionist elements a safe haven" in Canada.

"Celebration and glorification of violence should not be a part of any civilized society. Democratic countries which respect the rule of law should not allow intimidation by radical elements in the name of freedom of expression," India's foreign ministry had said.

Blaming Justin Trudeau for catering to a vote bank, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had said last year that "By allowing political space to 'Khalistani' separatist elements, the Canadian government (led by Justin Trudeau) is repeatedly showing that its vote bank is more powerful than its rule of law."

"India respects and practices freedom of speech, but that does not equate with freedom to threaten foreign diplomats, extend support to separatism or allow political space to elements advocating violence and terror," he had said.
