.
Campaigning in
wards in Patel Nagar,
Nayana, Mangolpuri
and Ranjit Nagar, Un-
ion Minister Anurag
Thakur said, “Kejriwal
came to power by talk-
ing about politics of
change. For them, the
meaning of changing
politics was to openly
give protection to riot-
ers and corrupt people.”
Thakur alleged that
the AAP chief had giv-
en a clean chit to minis-
ter Satyendar Jain, who
is in jail under serious
corruption allegations.
Citing a purported vid-
eo of Jain in Tihar Jail,
Thakur said, “The Aam

physiotherapists.”

absorbed a “slave men-
tality” after working
with the British prior to
Independence.
He was speaking at a

district where voting
will take place in the sec-
ond phase of the state
Assembly elections on
December 5. The Con-
gress’s “policy” of incit-
ing one community,
caste or religion against
another weakened Gu-
jarat, Modi said.
“The Congress has a
problem not only with
Sardar Patel but also
with the unity of India
because their politics is
based on the policy of
divide and rule while
Patel believed in uniting
everyone. Due to this
stark difference, Con-
gress never considered
Sardar Patel as their
own,” the PM said.
Just because the statue has been
built by Modi, Patel became un-
touchable for you? I am sure that
people of Anand district will punish Congress
for insulting Sardar Patel.

Inspired by TV, woman kills another to fake own death
Greater Noida
(ANI): A woman and
her lover have been
arrested for allegedly
killing another wom-
an to fake her own
death, the police said
on Friday.
The accused woman
was inspired by a tel-
evision show, officials
said. According to the
police, the accused
woman, identified as
Payal, a resident of
Badhpura village -
about 15km from
Greater Noida, be-
friended the victim
and killed her with the
help of her partner,
Ajay Thakur.
She also planted a
suicide note in her
own name, and tried to
pass it off for a sui-
cide, the police said.
Officials said that
the deceased worked
at a mall in Gaur City
area of Greater Noida,
and knew Ajay.
The accused re-
vealed during ques-
tioning that the victim
was of a similar build
as Payal, and so the
plan was hatched to
fake Payal's death.
Ajay took the victim
to Payal's house, where
her throat was slit and
her face distorted using
acid and hot oil. She
managed to pass the
body off for her own
even with her remain-
ing family and later es-
caped with her partner.
“Payal's family be-
lieved it to be her body
and also cremated it,”
the police said. The
matter, however, came
to light when the vic-
tim's family lodged a
missing complaint
with the police.
The police launched
a probe and detained
Payal and Ajay on sus-
picion.
Dadri police station
officials told ANI that
the accused woman,
during question con-
fessed to the crime,
and revealed that she
had watched a TV se-
rial a few months
back, and hatched the
plan with her partner.
Initial investigation
revealed Payal's father
owed money to his
relatives.
Failing to repay the
loan amount, he faced
harassment. Appar-
ently having no other
options left, both
Payel's parents ended
their lives by hanging
themselves, said offi-
cials. They said that
following her parents'
suicide, the accused,
Payal, decided to fake
her own death.
The police also re-
covered a country-
made pistol from their
possession. A case has
been registered and
further probe is un-
derway.
The accused woman confessed to the crime and
revealed that she had watched a TV serial a few
months back and hatched the plan with her partner

strict action against
the Rouse Avenue court
judge who was alleg-

“sexually explicit” act
with a woman inside
his office, a video of

earlier this week.
The Delhi High Court

ing of the video, which

tending that doing so
may cause “irreparable
harm” to the privacy
rights of the plaintiff.
The National Com-

a media post reporting
an “objectionable vid-
eo” of a Rouse Avenue
court judge.
“The Commission
has taken cognizance
of the matter. Chair-
person Rekha Sharma
has written to the Reg-
istrar General, Delhi
High Court seeking an
action taken report and
to take strict action
against the judge if al-

be true,” the NCW said.
The commission has
also asked to be in-
formed whether the
Rouse Avenue Court
has an Internal Com-
mittee in place as per
rules laid down in the
POSH Act, 2013.
The commission has
sought an action taken
report within seven
days.
In an order issued
late Wednesday night,

ma had said that the

cognisance of the inci-
dent and its registrar
general has conveyed
to authorities the need
to block the video

‘Hawkers’weeklymarkettoberegularised’
First India Bureau
New Delhi: On the last
day of poll campaigning
fortheMCDpollsonFri-
day, the BJP pitched for
street vendors’ welfare,
claiming all other par-
ties promised welfare
schemes but forgot the
hawkers and vendors
after the elections.
Addressing a press
conference, party Na-
tional Spokesperson
Gaurav Bhatia said,“
The eight lakh street
vendors and hawkers in
Delhi work hard to earn
their livelihood. We
want to make it clear
that we stand with
them. It has been their
demand to be regular-
ised... We are saying it
today with full respon-
sibility that it is their
right to be regularised.
The party announced
its commitment to
regularise weekly mar-
kets of street vendors
and hawkers, “The BJP
is committed that street
vendors and hawkers
are regularised and self-
dependent,” it said.
In June 2020, PM
Modi started the PM
SVANidhi scheme to
provide financial assis-
tance of Rs 10,000 to
each street vendor in a
move aimed to ensure
their self dependence.
Bhatia also said there
were 11 zones where
night bazaars would be
held. Special mahila ba-
zaars will also be organ-
ised, he said.
Bhatia also assured
protection to vendors
from extortion and
promised to provide
them with other facili-
ties.
Ramvir Bidhuri, LoP
in Delhi Assembly
, said
after the announcement
of the Pradhan Mantri
Swanidhi Yojna, CM
Arvind Kejriwal had
promised to provide Rs
20,000 to each street ven-
dor. Not a single street
vendor was given Rs
20,000 by Kejriwal gov-
ernment, he charged.
New Delhi: The deci-
sion to discontinue the

es. Officials in the LG

New Delhi: The BJP’s
Delhi unit on Friday
alleged a Model Code of
Conduct (MCC) viola-
tion by Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal and
lodged a complaint
with the State Election
Commission. Following
the complaint, the poll
panel has written to
the New Delhi District
Election Officer (DEO),
saying the event had
been brought to the
commission’s notice.
The SEC said that no
permission for the
Yogshala event was
obtained from it and if
any has been granted at
district level, the same
may be reported.

PERSPECTIVE

ussia’s broad interests in
Ukraine: Russia has deep
cultural, economic, and po-
litical bonds with Ukraine
that go back centuries with
approximately more than ten
million ethnic Russians liv-
ing in Ukraine. Ukraine go-
ing NATO or Western orbit
way is viewed as a security
threat to Russia as well as its
standing as a great power.
The city of Sevastopol is
home port for Russia’s Black
Sea Fleet, the dominant mar-
itime force in the region and
any loss of control over it is
detrimental to Russian stra-
tegic interests. Russia and
Ukraine have been largest
trading partners with Russia
having relied on Ukrainian
pipelines to pump its gas to
customers in Central and
Eastern Europe for decades,
and it paid Kyiv billions of
dollars per year in transit
fees. Russia was keen to pre-
serve its political influence
in Ukraine but the current
President Zelenskyy definite-
ly isn’t the right man. The
Russo-Ukrainian conflict has
been ongoing since February
2014, when Russia annexed
Crimea from Ukraine and
supported pro-Russian sepa-
ratists. The conflict escalated
on 24 Feb 2022 when Russian
President Putin sent troops
into Ukraine from the north,
south and east claiming to
“demilitarise and de-Nazify
Ukraine. In reality it was
framed as an attempt at en-
suring neutral status and
preventing NATO from gain-
ing a foothold in Ukraine.
Current situation and
Impact: After months of
war, both armies are ex-
hausted and depleted. The
continual attrition has taken
a toll on men and equipment,
even though Ukraine has re-
ceived aid and trained re-
servists to make up their
losses and Russia’s partial
military mobilization would
make another 2,00,000 or so
conscripts available to fill
their tired and ragged lines.
The civil population is suffer-
ing with Millions of civilians
unable to return home. Many
still in the country are forced
to live without access to food,
water, health care, and other
essential supplies. With
Over 17,000 causalities, in-
cluding 6,500 killed and 6.5
million people internally dis-
placed, the war is getting hei-
nous. Increasing food and
fuel prices have an immedi-
ate impact on the poorest
people in developing coun-
tries, causing hunger and
suffering for families.
Ukraine is historically a
large exporter of grain and
the current war is increasing
food insecurity and contrib-
uting to the risk of famine in
the world.
Some possibilities in the
current scenario with im-
plications: With winter set-
ting in and then the melting
snow and slushy ground of
spring a pause can be expect-
ed around December or so till
March. Both sides may like to
make maximum gains and
perhaps even bring the war
to a conclusion before that
but it seems difficult to pre-
dict the timelines or even the
manner in which the war
could end. The war is swing-
ing between extremities with
no clear evidence where it’s
heading. But some of the
likely possibilities are: - Rus-
sians launch a renewed offen-
sive with 200,000 recently
mobilized conscripts to at-
tain their military aims and
regain the territory lost to
Ukrainian counter-attacks
have pushed them back from
some of the occupied territo-
ries. They could even push
ahead in the south towards
Odesa, the one vital port on
the Black Sea which the
Ukrainians still hold. The
likelihood of a renewed Rus-
sian offensive is high, though
one cannot predict the gains
it could make, or in what
time frame.
A successful Ukrainian
counter offensive aided by
NATO (an additional $400
million in military aid by US
including refurbishing 45
T-72 tanks and missiles for
HAWK air defence systems
for Kyiv) pushing the Rus-
sians back to their own terri-
tory
. The Ukrainian offensive
has made sizeable gains both
in the east and in the south.
Buoyed by their success, and
replenished with western
arms and freshly trained re-
servists, the Ukrainians
could continue their offen-
sive to recapture the lost ter-
ritory
. A complete Ukrainian
victory, in the near term, at
least, could be difficult.
Another possibility is that
the war becomes an intermi-
nable frozen conflict, with
neither side being able to
change the status quo. Both
sides dig in along the posi-
tions they hold which be-
comes the Line of Contact.
There could be a stalemate
along the line held by Rus-
sian and Ukrainian troops
along which low intensity
fighting could continue in-
terminably. Ukraine may
not like it, but would be un-
able to change the overall
picture.
In another possibility of
worst case scenario is a
NATO - Russian conflict
wherein in the fog of the
war crossing of a “Red Line”
which could be the use of a
chemical, biological or a nu-
clear weapon, or maybe even
a particularly devastating at-
tack on a civilian target could
draw NATO into the conflict.
A more pragmatic view sug-
gests NATO will continue to
prop up Ukraine with infu-
sions of arms and aid, which
will keep the conflict going.
After all, this state suits them
where they can continue to
weaken Russia “to the last
Ukrainian” without being
directly involved. Neither
does Russia want a direct
confrontation with NATO -
one in which they may lose.
This scenario may be seri-
ously viewed by both sides
but the last G- 20 Summit
where the world leaders in-
cluding China have stressed
“the use or threat of use of
nuclear weapons is inadmis-
sible” makes the chances of
this scenario dim.

CHANCE FOR NEW
DELHI TO PLAY A
PIVOTAL ROLE IN
WORLD AFFAIRS
aving taken over the
G20 Presidency from
Indonesia for the
first time, India will
host 19 of the world’s
largest economies and the Euro-
pean Union in September 2023.
India occupying the top seat at
the summit will affirm its im-
portance in global affairs. While
making India’s image more lus-
trous, the G20 Presidency will
also make the BJP stronger for
the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
What India can achieve during
its G20 Chairmanship, however,
is much more than that. This of-
fers New Delhi the best opportu-
nity to showcase its ancient
Hindu culture and philosophy
.
It can narrow the North-South
divide by emerging as the “voice
of the global South”, which
broadly refers to regions in Asia,
Latin America, Africa and Oce-
ania, for inclusive development.
The External Affairs Minister
has said that New Delhi will
work to “depoliticise” the global
supply of food, fertilizers and
medical products. “As the moth-
er of democracy, India’s G20
Presidency will be consultative
... collaborative… and decisive.
TOP TWEETS
H
ive years after
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
launched the Digi-
tal India initiative
in 2015, the country contin-
ues to make steady progress
in the digital world. That it
can be an enabler and benefi-
ciary was best proved by the
COWIN app which tracked all
vaccinations during the Cov-
id pandemic. They later be-
came useful documents for
travelers in particular and
also for people in general.
Now comes the Digi Yatra
app which will enable flyers
to forget about collecting
their boarding passes at the
airport. From Thursday, pa-
perless entry to select air-
ports has been introduced.
Seven airports will be cov-
ered in the first phase of the
initiative starting with Del-
hi, Bengaluru and Varanasi.
Remaining four airports - Hy-
derabad, Kolkata, Pune and
Vijayawada - will get the fa-
cility in March 2023. Subse-
quently, all the airports will
have this technology. This
will be made possible by Digi-
Yatra, facial recognition soft-
ware, for entry into airports.
The technology will gradu-
ally make ID cards and board-
ing passes redundant.
DigiYatra envisages con-
tactless and paperless move-
ment of travellers through
various checkpoints includ-
ing entry, security check ar-
eas and aircraft boarding.
The technology uses facial
features to establish identity
.
To avail the facility, a passen-
ger will have to register his/
her details on DigiYatra app
using Aadhaar and a photo.
The government has also
introduced the E- rupee as a
form of transaction. The e-
currency is not much differ-
ent from other UPI based wal-
lets except that the limit on
holding digital rupee is much
more than in other wallets.

UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR
WORSENING SITUATION
R
Chinese President Xi
Jinping and German
Chancellor Olaf Scholz
oppose Russia’s threats to
use atomic weapons in
Ukraine. Scholz even
warned that Moscow risked
“crossing a line” in the
international community
by resorting to nuclear
force. As the G- 7 leaders
reiterated its stand against
Moscow’s war in Ukraine,
the foreign ministers of the
group said any use of
chemical, biological or
nuclear weapons by Russia
would be met with severe
consequences. Most
members of G- 20 and
India also suggest for a
diplomatic solution,
through talks to the
Russian-Ukraine conflict.
After months of war, both
armies are exhausted and
depleted. The continual
attrition has taken a toll on
men and equipment, even
though Ukraine has
received aid and trained
reservists to make up their
losses, Russia’s partial
military mobilization
would make another
2,00,000 or so

INDIA AT WORLD STAGE
New Delhi (PTI): The National Green Tribunal (NGT)
has directed the Manipur government to pay Rs 200
crore as environmental compensation for improper
management of solid and liquid waste. A bench
headed by chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel
said remedial action cannot wait for an indefinite
period, nor loose-ended timelines without account-
ability can be a solution. It said the responsibility
of the state is to have a comprehensive time-bound
plan with tied-up resources to control pollution. The
bench, also comprising Justice Sudhir Agarwal and
expert member A Senthil Vel, said it is high time the
state realised its duty to the law and to citizens and
adopts further monitoring at its own level.

MISLEADING, SAYS PM MODI
MEHSANA MLA NITIN PATEL
NOT CONTESTING BUT STILL A
FACTOR IN DISTRICT
New Delhi (PTI): A day after India assumed the leader-
ship of the G-20, the Congress on Friday attacked the
Modi government, saying the presidency was rotational
and inevitable with none of the countries that held the
responsibility earlier staging a “high voltage drama”
as is being done now. India on Thursday assumed the
Presidency of the G-20 with Prime Minister Narendra
Modi making a strong pitch for “fundamental mindset
shift” to benefit humanity as a whole and saying the
country will work to further promote “oneness”.
Ahmedabad (PTI): Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Friday alleged that
the Congress only believed in ‘atkana,
latkana aur bhatkana’ (stalling, delay-
ing and misleading), and said those
who looted poor people in the coun-
try were now abusing him for putting
an end to corruption. He also alleged
that the previous Congress govern-
ments never showed any interest in
bringing the Narmada river water to
the parched regions of Gujarat as the
party was only interested in doing
those works where there was scope
to indulge in corruption. Modi was
addressing a rally in Kankrej village of
Banaskantha district, where voting for
the second phase of Gujarat Assem-
bly polls will be held on December 5.
Mehsana (PTI): BJP leader and for-
mer deputy chief minister Nitin Patel’s
name features prominently in poll ral-
lies in his home turf Mehsana ahead
of the Gujarat assembly elections,
despite the Patidar heavyweight not
being fielded by his party this time.
The party’s banners across the state
usually have five faces on it Prime
Minister Narendra Modi at the front,
Amit Shah and JP Nadda on one side,
and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra
Patel and CR Patil on the other. But in
Mehsana, Nitin Patel also features in
the posters, a proof of his popularity
in the district. The BJP has fielded its
Mehsana city unit president Mukesh
Patel from the segment for the up-
coming assembly elections.
Ahmedabad (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on Friday said
the Congress alleging
tampering of Electron-
ic Voting Machines is
an indication that it has
already accepted defeat
in the Gujarat Assem-
bly elections.
Voting for 89 seats in
the first phase of the
Gujarat elections took
place on Thursday
.
“The way Congress
has started blaming
EVMs after yesterday's
voting in Kutch, Sau-
rashtra and south Guja-
rat, it is evident the op-
position party has con-
ceded defeat and has
accepted that the BJP
will win the election.
Alleging EVM tamper-
ing is an indication the
Congress is on its way
out,” said Modi.
He was speaking at a
rally in Patan where
voting will be held
along with remaining
92 seats on December 5.
“TheCongressknows
only two things, abuse
Modi ahead of polls to
please the voters and
then blame EVMs after
voting. This proves the
Congress has accepted
defeat,” he said.
He also slammed past
Congress governments
for ‘widening' the rift
between the rich and
the poor in the country
and “looting” the funds
meant for the welfare of
the poor.

tersKeshavPrasadMau-
rya and Brajesh Pathak.
The Samajwadi lead-
er has alleged that both
the deputy chief minis-
ters of UP have been
eyeing an opportunity
to become CM, but have
“failed”. Addressing a
public rally supporting
party candidate Asim
Raza in Rampur ahead
of the bypolls, Akhilesh
Yadav said: “There are
two Deputy CMs in the
state. Both of them are
looking for an opportu-
nity to become CM. We
have come to give them
an offer.”
“Take 100 MLAs from
us, we are with you, be-
come CM whenever you
want,” the Samajwadi
Party chief offered
Maurya and Pathak.
He also said the BJP
government of the state
should not be so harsh
on the Opposition party
believing it would be-
come “vindictive” when
it returns to power.

MEVANI CONFIDENT
OF WINNING FROM
VADGAM SEAT AGAIN
BJP HOPES TO
TROUNCE CONGRESS
IN DANILIMDA SEAT
Lucknow (PTI): Akhilesh
Yadav will neither become
chief minister nor will he
be able to make anyone
get that position, Ut-
tar Pradesh Deputy CM
Keshav Prasad Maurya
said Friday responding to
the SP president’s “offer”.
At a rally in Rampur a day
earlier, Yadav claimed the
two deputy CMs — Kes-
hav Prasad Maurya and
Brajesh Pathak — wanted
to become CM. He offered
to support them if they
joined the Samajwadi
Party along with 100 BJP
MLAs. “What is the use
of holding the deputy CM
position when you can-
not even transfer a chief
medical officer,” he said.
Vadgam (PTI): Vad-
gam, an SC-reserved
Assembly segment in
Gujarat, is considered
an easy seat to win for
the Congress owing to
its demographic profile
with high number of
Muslim and Dalit voters.
But retaining it will not
be easy for sitting MLA
Jignesh Mevani, who
is contesting from the
grand old party this
time, as it has become a
four-cornered fight with
the entry of AAP and
AIMIM. Although Mevani
himself is confident of
his victory, the BJP and
political analysts feel
otherwise.
Ahmedabad (PTI): An
intense battle of prestige
is on between the BJP
and the Congress over
the control of the minor-
ity and Dalit-dominated
Danilimda Assem-
bly constituency in
Ahmedabad, which the
saffron party has never
won since the seat came
into existence a decade
back. The BJP is hopeful
of breaking the jinx this
time as it is pinning
hopes on the division of
Congress's votes in the
seat that is all set for a
four-cornered contest
with the entry of the
AIMIM and the AAP into
the fray.

Ahmedabad (PTI): A voter turnout of 63.14 per cent
was recorded in the first phase of Gujarat Assembly
elections covering 89 seats across 19 districts of
Saurashtra-Kutch and southern regions of the state,
the Election Commission said on Friday. In the 2017
Assembly election, the voter turnout in the first phase
covering the same 89 constituencies stood at 66.75 per
cent. Polling for the first phase, in which the electoral
fate of 788 candidates was locked in Electronic Voting
Machines (EVMs), was held on Thursday.

WORLD MUST START
BRACING FOR LOW
INFLATION: RAJAN
First India Bureau
New Delhi: The global
economy could go back to a
low inflation regime and
central bankers pursuing
restrictive monetary po-
lices should keep that in
mind, said Raghuram Ra-
jan, a former governor of
India’s central bank.
Central banks must ask
themselves if their poli-
cies were nimble enough
when inflation shifted
from low to a high regime,
said Rajan.
“We should be prepared
to potentially go back to
low inflation regime,” he
said Friday in a conference
organized by the Bank of
Thailand and the Bank for
International Settlements.
“We need to examine
what constrained us, Rajan
said. “We need to assess if
we didn’t recognise infla-
tion building or we were
actually waiting for our in-
struments to play out,
wanting to preserve them
for the next time.”
Therefore, it is impor-
tant for central banks to-
day to pursue policies that
provide for changes in in-
flation dynamics over time,
he said, adding that head-
winds, including de-glo-
balisation, slow growth in
China and K-shaped recov-
ery in emerging economies
can hurt growth.
Amid volatile times, Ra-
jan said, emerging market
central bankers have done
a wonderful job in antici-
pating the need to raise in-
terest rates and it has
“served them well.”

Home Affairs (MHA) for
issuance of notification
under Section 2 of the
Union Territories
(Laws) Act, 1950. “The
said Act is applicable for
prevention of danger-
ous activities of bootleg-
gers, drug offenders, im-
moral traffic offenders,
land grabbers, food
adulteration offenders,
fake document offend-
ers, scheduled commod-
ities offenders, gaming
offenders, sexual offend-
ers, explosive substanc-
es offenders, arms of-
fenders, cybercrime of-
fenders and white collar
or financial offenders.
The MHA will take a de-
cision in this regard,”
the LG office said.
Notably, the Delhi Po-
lice in June, 2022, had
requested for the ap-
proval of the competent
authority for issuance
of notification for ex-
tending the Act to the
NCT of Delhi.
The police have said
that there is “a need for
stringent legislation for
the prevention and ef-
fective control of crimi-
nal activities, particu-
larly by repeat offend-
ers involved in bootleg-
ging, land grabbing,
snatching, robbery,
arms running, sale of
drugs, gambling, sexual
offences etc.”
The Act enforced in
the state of Telangana
is an effective legisla-
tion which provides for
preventive detention of
desperate criminals
and members of the or-
ganized syndicates
whose criminal activi-
ties affect adversely, or
are likely to affect ad-
versely, the mainte-
nance of public order.
LG approves proposal
to adopt Telangana law
The MHA will
take a decision in
this regard, the
LG office said
ALLOWS POLICE TO DETAIN ‘DANGEROUS PEOPLE’
LG Saxena has approved and forwarded the proposal of Delhi Police to the Ministry of Home Affairs for
extending the Telangana Prevention of Dangerous Activities Act, 1986, as modified, to the NCT of Delhi.

PM MAY ADDRESS
Court denies bail to accused in `3,269
cr Shakti Bhog money laundering case
New Delhi (PTI): A
Delhi court on Friday
dismissed the bail appli-
cation of an accused,
who allegedly provided
fake business entries, in
a money laundering
case against Shakti
Bhog Foods Ltd in an al-
leged over Rs 3,269 crore
bank loan fraud, saying
it could not be said that
he was not likely to com-
mit any such offence
while being out of jail.
The court said it did
not find any reasonable
ground to believe that
the accused, Ashok Ku-
mar Goel, was not guilty
of the alleged offences.
It further said that
from a prima facie
view of the material
placed on record and in
the light of the gravity
of the alleged offences,
“it cannot be said ei-
ther that the applicant
is not likely to commit
any such offence while
on bail.”
“Considering the
enormity of offence al-
leged against the appli-
cant,periodof hisincar-
ceration does not make
him entitled to grant of
regular bail,” Special
Judge Naveen Gupta
said. The Enforcement
Directorate (ED) had ac-
cused Goel and his co-
accused Devki Nandan
Garg of “assisting Shak-
ti Bhog Foods Limited
and its directors in gen-
eration,acquisition,lay-
ering and siphoning off
its loans funds through
shell companies under
their disposal.”
“The accused were
actively involved in pro-
viding fake bills to the
company without actu-
al business transac-
tions,” the ED had said
in the charge sheet.
These fake bills, it al-
leged, “Facilitated in-
flated stock, turnover
and purchase/sale of
SBFL to enable it to se-
cure enhanced credit
facilities from consor-
tium banks on the basis
of this inflated finan-
cial reports.”
The money launder-
ing case against Shakti
BhogFoodsLimitedwas
based on a CBI FIR that
charged it and others for
criminal conspiracy,
cheating and criminal
misconduct. The agency
had also arrested the
chairman and manag-
ing director (CMD) of
Shakti Bhog Foods Lim-
ited K K Sharma and a
chartered accountant
(CA) named Raman
Bhuraria in this case.
The CBI FIR against
the company and its
promoters came about
after the State Bank of
India (SBI) registered a
complaint against the
company
.

❍ JNU WALL DEFACEMENT
First India Bureau
New Delhi: In an advi-
sory issued by Jawaha-
rlal Nehru University
(JNU), it said to install
CCTV cameras in all its
centres. This comes a
day after several walls
of the university were
defaced with ‘anti-
Brahmin’ slogans.
It has also notified
that all schools and cen-
tres will have only a sin-
gle entry and exit point.
Vice-Chancellor San-
tishree D. Pandit asked
the students and staff
members to be vigilant
so that such incidents
can be prevented in
future.

claimed that the walls
of the School of Inter-
national Studies- II
building were vandal-
ised with slogans
against Brahmin and
Baniya communities.
The graffiti asked mem-
bers of both communi-
ties to leave the campus
and the country
.
The six-point adviso-
ry was issued after
keeping the prevailing
security issues on the
campus, the adminis-
tration said.
The university has
also asked centres to
put up notice boards,
regarding the preven-
tion of defacement of
public property, at ap-
propriate places in
every centre.

dent took place between

The rod that was be-
ing used for railway

through his neck and
through the wall into
the next compartment,
narrowly avoiding fur-
ther injuries to the
other passengers seat-
ed there.

some work was under-
way on the tracks when
the incident happened.
“The railway staff
stopped the train at Ali-

ics professor at Califor-
nia University
, (US) into
shelling out USD 48,000

plicit video chats public

term “sextortion” to de-
scribe such crimes that
involve extorting mon-
ey or sexual favours by
offenders who are privy
to the personal details
like photos or videos of
the victim.
With the help of Fed-
eral Bureau of Investi-
gation of the US, CBI

is going on for his pur-
ported girlfriend who
lured the professor into
sending explicit videos.

make send the video to
authorities in the uni-
versity, officials said.

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
nternational Day of
Disabled Persons”.
This year the focus
is on Non-Visible
Disabilities (NVD).
The majority of
people suffer from
NVD as they go unnoticed,
or unattended, even if sus-
pected to exist. For 13
years I have been the Ex-
ecutive Director of DISHA,
a leading institution for
children with disabilities.
These years gave me an in-
sight into visible invisi-
ble disabilities, but at the
same time, they have also
raised myriad questions,
some of which I will at-
tempt to address.
Though difficult to ac-
cept by most people, NVD
is an inveterate illness
that impairs day-to-day ac-
tivities such as going to
school, work or socializ-
ing. 80-90% of people have
NVD in some form. Being
invisible to normal percep-
tion, they are not easy to
spot. Such people do pur-
sue successful lives/ca-
reers but at a reduced po-
tential. The very concept
of “disability” is falla-
ciously looked upon as
some sort of “stigma”, al-
though such denials are a
disability in themselves.
As common examples of
NVD, I can mention Lazi-
ness, Compulsive lying
Hypochondria limit crea-
tivity and cause abnormal
anxiety.
Some suffer from obses-
sive-compulsive disorder
(OCD) where recurrent
persistent thoughts and
feelings cause repetitive
ritualized behaviour.
OCD can be caused by
fear, superstition or inse-
curity, to name a few.
Most such NVDs are
picked up at an early age
and their causes are too
many to mention. These
drawbacks are mostly ig-
nored because parents
prefer to stay blind to any
deficiency in their “loved
ones”. Untreated, such
blind biases only go to
stunt their ward’s full po-
tential.
A dyslexic child with
normal intelligence loses
many opportunities to pro-
gress, suffering silently
from this puzzling learn-
ing disorder. It can be eas-
ily diagnosed as it reflects
in late talking, slow learn-
ing of new words, feeling
confused with similar
sounding words or getting
perplexed when handed
several instructions at
once. India detects more
than one crore dyslexic
cases every year, with mil-
lions being pushed under
the desk.
Half the US population
(165 million) suffers from
such chronic conditions,
with 88% of these not will-
ing to discuss their own or
their child’s disability.
Consequently, better em-
ployment opportunities
evade such people !!
It takes smart guardi-
ans to look consciously
and objectively into their
children’s behaviour, out-
put and social interaction
to detect understand
NVD’s debilitating force.
For instance, to think
that laziness is only a bad
habit can be a cruel mis-
judgement.
Having said that, we
must also look at the flip
side of NVD. Could it be
that humans are designed
by Nature to be like that ??
For example, some
plants from identical seeds
pollinate with different in-
tensities. We don’t say they
suffer from Botanical
nymphomania.
Pups from the
same litter re-
spond to train-
ing differently. Do we cast
away the slow learner from
the kennel for being a cur ??
1.5% of the world’s popu-
lation is diagnosed with
Dissociative Identity Disor-
der. We don’t deal with half
of that split personality !?
Very often pursuit of
perfection can impede cre-
ativity. Is it better to ac-
cept such vagaries of Na-
ture and move on.??
Many of those who were
dealt this invisible hand by
Nature, played with resil-
ience to come up with
trumps. To follow the ex-
ample of Celebrities,
Sports Persons etc with
such disabilities is the an-
swer for now !!
