Editorial

need for a secular prime ministerial candidate

and the issue of leaders having to do many

things including wearing a skull cap in Bihar

chief minister Nitish Kumar’s recent speech.

party, the JD(U), would not accept

Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial

candidate of the NDA in the coming elections.

The BJP on its part seems to correctly

suggest that the choice should be left to it

were it to lead an alliance. The JD(U) brings

with it 20 seats to Parliament as of now,

propping up the table for the 153-strong NDA

grouping. Nitish Kumar’s aversion to naming

Modi the leader, indeed he is trying to force

the NDA’s hand sooner rather than later, could

mean that the BJP will have to chose between

its trump card Modi and a valuable ally the

JD(U). That the BJP is not on a very strong

wicket in Bihar is seen from the fact that in

the last general election, it won only 12 seats,

all of which were in alliance with the JD(U).

However, there is a section in the BJP which

reckons that it would be better to stick with

Mr Modi who could bring in a greater tally of

votes for it overall than last time (where it got

115 seats) than be held to ransom for a

possible 20 seats which the JD(U) could bring

with it. All this is, of course, speculation at

this stage. If the BJP is planning to jettison

allies like the JD(U), then it should look at

a considerable increase in its vote share,

something which does not look likely at the

moment.The Modi factor is also largely an

untried one, it remains to be seen how much

of a pan-India appeal the Gujarat chief

minister will have. The NDA leadership while

making it clear that it will not push Mr Modi

aside for any ally, seems to be focusing its

energies on removing the UPA rather than

coming up with an agenda that will catch

people’s attention. Negative campaigns don’t

always work too well as we have seen in

the past. While Nitish Kumar may sound

unrelenting now, it is also clear that he is

sending a message to his Muslim vote-bank

which is a significant factor in any election

in the state.

The BJP Bihar state unit has expressed

its unhappiness with the chief minister’s

stand, which means that the NDA alliance

is now under severe strain. It will require

more than a bit of effort on BJP president

Rajnath Singh’s part to smooth things over.

The only thing that the NDA can feel

slightly satisfied about is that the UPA is

also on shaky ground when it comes to

allies. But Nitish Kumar’s veiled references

have effectively pulled the veil off the many

contradictions that the NDA faces as it

begins the run-up to elections 2014.

A bumpy road ahead for NDAThere were references to Raj

dharma, there was mention of the

KEEPING TABS ON THE

POLITICAL GRAPEVINEAnxious not to be left behind

In politics there are no permanent friends

or foes, or so it is believed. With elections

drawing near, the Congress is opening its

doors to estranged allies. While the CPI(M)

politburo member Sitaram Yechury remains

a key interlocutor

between the Congress and the Left, the

ruling party is now knocking on the party’s

general secretary Prakash Karat’s doors too.

Rural development minister Jairam

Ramesh will meet Karat on April 17 to seek

support for the land acquisition Bill. Ramesh

has had a meeting with Yechury, but keeping

the channel open with Karat is crucial.

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader AK

Antony did not rule out an alliance with the

Left post-2014. A Left turn in Congress

politics, it would seem.

Leaving no one in any doubt

The BJP interlocutors who have been in

touch with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar

did expect some fireworks in his speech on

Sunday. But even they were shocked by the

ferocity of his anti-Modi tirade.

When Kumar met BJP president Rajnath

Singh on Saturday evening, the BJP leaders

were under the impression that the JD(U)

leader’s assault on the Gujarat chief minister

would be more in the nature of playing to the

galleries and that there would be some room

for manoeuvre.

But Nitish almost exclusively dedicated his

40-minute speech to Modi, something that

has made the BJP-JD(U) alliance virtually

unsustainable. He will not modify his remarks

for now.

Full Marx for his political acumen

Former West Bengal chief minister and

politburo member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee

continues to put the CPI(M) central

leadership in a spot. Bhattacharjee chided the

central leadership over the protest by Delhi-

based CPI(M) activists against chief minister

Mamata Banerjee and finance minister Amit

Mitra in Delhi last week.

He has told Delhi-based leaders that

suchhasty political moves could put the

party’s cadres at greater risk at a time when

the TMC activists and CPI(M) workers are

engaged in street fights. Yet another reason

for Bhattacharjee to ignore the central

leadership of the party, which he considers

is not up to the task in any case. A risk-averse

comrade.

From lukewarm to slightly warm

The friction between the Samajwadi Party

and the Congress is playing out in Rae Bareli,

UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s

constituency. Gandhi’s plan to launch a

special scheme for slum-dwellers has been

hanging fire due to the lukewarm response

from the SP-led state government.

It took several visits by senior officials in

the Union housing and urban poverty

alleviation ministry to Lucknow to persuade

the state government, which has finally given

the go-ahead for the initiative involving

construction of 2,000 houses for slum-

dwellers and the upgrade of basic amenities

like sewerage and sanitation. Sonia Gandhi

will finally inaugurate it sometime in May. A

grudging go-ahead.

The urban transformer

Urban development minister Ajay Maken

belongs to the Congress that is ruling in

Maharashtra in coalition with the NCP. But

party affiliations did not stop the man in

charge of transforming the nation’s urban

landscape from criticising his colleagues in

Mumbai.

After the recent building collapse that killed

dozens in Thane, Maken offered support to

Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha

Patkar who was fasting on behalf of the slum-

dwellers.

Maken publicly saluted Patkar for “taking

up the just cause of slum-dwellers against

the building mafia in Mumbai.” For the

Prithviraj Chavan government in

Maharashtra, that must really have hurt. Not

building too many bridges with his partymen.

BMC RECEIVEDofficials said, the action against illegal

constructions in the city is an ongoing pro-

cess and the ward offices have been in-

structed to act strictly against them. As a

part of this action, demolition drives are

being taken across several parts of the city

time and again.

"However, once the demolitions are car-

ried out, people come again and construct

structures. This mostly happens in slums

or on open plots. In case of buildings and

high-rises, irregularities like extension of

other areas like balcony, terrace or struc-tural changes take place," the official said.

The High Court had recently passedstrictures on the civic body for failing totake prompt action against illegal struc-tures in the city. The BMC has also de-manded the state government to provide aspecially designated police force for ef-fective and quick action against illegalstructures.


GERMAN BAKERY BLAST:MAIN ACCUSED HIMAYAT BAIG

CONVICTED BY PUNE COURTJudge N P Dhote held

Baig, a resident of Beed dis-

trict in Maharashtra, guilty

under sections 302 (mur-

der), 307 (attempt to mur-

der), 435 (mischief by fire

or explosive substances),

474 (forgery), 153(A) (pro-

moting enmity between dif-

ferent groups on ground of

religion, race, place of birth,

language and doing acts

prejudicial to maintenance

of harmony) and 120(B)

(criminal conspiracy) of

IPC.

He was also convicted

under various sections of

Unlawful Activities Preven-

tion Act and Explosive Sub-

stances Act. Special Judge

Dhote will pronounce the

quantum of sentence for

Baig April 18. A powerful

bomb had exploded at the

German Bakery, a popular

eatery also frequented by

foreigners, on February 13,

2010, which left 17 dead

and 64 injured, in first ter-

ror attack in Pune. Among

the dead were five foreigner

national.

It was also the first ma-

jor terror strike after the 26/

11 Mumbai attacks in

2008.

The Maharashtra

Police's Anti-Terrorism

Squad had arrested Baig

from a bus stand in Pune in

September 2010.

The ATS had filed a

charge sheet in the case on

December 4, 2010 against

Baig and six others includ-

ing Zabiuddin Ansari alias

Abu Jundal, one of the han-

dlers of 26/11 terrorists,

Fayyaz Kagzi, Yasin

Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal,

Riyaz Bhatkal and Mohsin

Chaudhari. Jundal, however,

has not been shown arrested

in this case, while all others

are absconding. Lashkar-e-

Taiba operative David

Headley, in his testimony

before a US court in the trial

of his accomplice

Tahawwur Rana, had admit-

ted that he had recced and

taken photographs of the

popular hang-out in Pune.

Meanwhile, Baig's coun-

sel Abdul Rahman has said

he would move the High

Court against the verdict.

"Definitely, I am going to

appeal in the High Court. I

am sure I will get justice

from the High Court," he told

reporters after the judge-

ment. Rahman said justice

had not been done to Baig

as he was not present in

Pune at the time of the blast

nor had he gone to German

Bakery to plant the bomb.

He said the key conspira-

tors in the case had not been

arrested and Abu Jundal,

named in the charge sheet,

was not even brought to the

court. "Police has shown

Jundal as one of the con-

spirators in this case but he

was not brought to the

court...it is unfortunate," he

said, adding, "more than one

person is required for a con-

spiracy."

"It is the allegation of the

police that conspiracy took

place in (Sri) Lanka be-

tween Fayyaz Kagzi and

Mohsin Chaudhari.

It is unfortunate that

none of the police officers

or investigating officer vis-

ited Lanka to find out at

which place the conspiracy

had taken place. That part

remains to be proved by the

police," he said.

HC BACKS FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRA-

TION OVER DRUG THAT MAKES TALL CLAIMMUMBAI: Television is a powerful medium and many

gullible people will believe advertisements to be true, said

the Bombay high court while rejecting a petition that chal-

lenged the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) circular

to various channels to stop telecast of a drug that promised

to increase a person's height. On April 12, a division bench

of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Mridula Bhatkar gave

their verdict on a petition by GMT Teleshopping Pvt Ltd,

which is marketing "StepUp Body Growth Formula". The

FDA said the advertisement is prohibited under Section 3

of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Adver-

tisements) Act 1954. GMT's counsel Aspi Chinoy argued

that the prohibition extends only to harmful and prohibited

drugs and that the product is not a harmful drug. He said it

is being manufactured under a licence granted by the

Madhya Pradesh government under the Drugs and Cos-

metics Act, 1940 and hence it cannot be termed as a pro-

hibited drug. FDA's advocates Ashutosh Kumbhakoni and

Shardul Singh submitted that the DMR Act is not confined

only to the prohibited drugs but even to those which are

licensed. They also said the prohibition under Section 3 of

the Act pertains to the publication of any advertisement

irrespective of whether the drug that is advertised is pro-

hibited or not. The judges said the content of StepUp

advertisements shows that they present the drug to the

public as a product which will enhance the overall per-

sonality of an individual. "The petition shows that it is

projected that the use of medicine will increase a

person's height," they added. The judges said the re-

striction under Section 3 of the DMR Act prohibits

publication of advertisements that claim to cure or treat

any disease or condition mentioned in the schedule. "A

perusal of the schedule shows that item no.47 is stat-

ure of persons. The advertisements profess that the

drug will help in treatment of the condition of stature

of persons," they wrote.


SHAH RUKH KHAN

SETS UP SHOP IN WAIEver since the schedule of Chennai Express commenced in Wai, sources

say Shah Rukh Khan had almost set up his home and office in the quaint

village. The actor had moved bag and baggage to Wai, just outside

Panchgani to concentrate on his film that clashes on Eid with Akshay

Kumar’s upcoming gangster film. And not just the film, SRK had also been

shooting for all his upcoming brand endorsements in Wai. A source says,

“SRK stayed put in Wai to leave no stone unturned in making Chennai

Express as big as it gets. He was also getting his other work done sitting

there. In the past one month, he had shot for five ads there, including a tea

and automobile brand. The people behind the brands had to fly down to

Wai to get their work done.” A source close to the star says that SRK’s

focus right now is solely resting on his upcoming film helmed by Rohit Shetty.

“He is a perfectionist and considering it’s an Eid release, he is juggling time

between the film, his commercials and his other work commitments.”

Sources add that while 80 per cent of the shoot is complete, the last sched-

ule of the film has just moved to Kerala.

JACQUELINE

FERNANDEZ

TO RETURN TO

HER ROOTSThe film apparently is based

on a real-life incident that took

place in Colombo in 1980.

A source says, “Jacky is in an

exciting stage of her career. Af-

ter Race 2, she has caught the eye

of many filmmakers. She has

now been approached to feature

in an English film that is based

on a true story. She has a huge

fan base overseas and Koch has

already been signed for the

project. The makers are keen to

have her on board.”

A source close to the actress

however says that Jacqueline is

taking her time to make a deci-

sion. “The subject of the film is

quite controversial and Jacky is

thinking things through. She is

excited to get an offer from a Sri

Lankan filmmaker.” The plot

deals with the story of Father

Matthew Pieris, a priest who

planned the chilling murders of

his wife and the husband of his

mistress. The incident is also fa-

mously known as the Vicarage

Murders.

SALMAN KHAN TURNED DOWN

MOM SALMA'S REQUESTSalman Khan and his family are known to celebrate

most of the Indian festivals. In fact some of his festive

celebrations are attended by several Bollywood

biggies. However at Gudi Padwa this time, Sallu

decided to skip the celebrations and instead preferred

to spend the day working on his next film.

A source says, “This Gudi Padwa, Sallu’s mom

Salma had asked the actor to be home to spend the

day with his family. However due to his recent ill health,

work on brother Sohail Khan’s film is already running

late. He decided to stay back at Lavasa to continue

shooting.” Apparently, Salman requested Salma to

let him go this time. Well, there is always a next

time.


MUMBAI INDIANS ARE THE

TEAM TO BEAT: RAINA

Suresh Raina is one crick-

eter who every franchise would

love to have in its ranks. A true

match winner, who has not only

helped Chennai Super Kings

win the Indian Premier League

twice but also helped Team

India win on several occasions

in shorter formats.

Last season, Raina scored

441 runs at an average of a

shade below 26 in 18 innings.

The piece of statistic may not

sound great, but the fact is, he

finished several matches. This

time too, Raina is one of

Chennai Super Kings’ batting

mainstays. Though he hasn’t

done anything of note as yet in

IPL-VI, Raina’s cameos will

prove crucial for MS Dhoni &

Co during the latter stages of

the tournament. Raina spoke to

IL at the Tag Heuer Aquaracer

event yesterday.

Can you describe the feel-

ing in the camp after the dra-

matic last-ball win over the

RCB on Saturday?

It was a wonderful win for

us. It is always good to get over

the line in such close matches.

The morale of the team is very

high and everybody is enjoy-

ing the game. The players

have been very supportive and

we are enjoying each other’s

success.

Did you think that Chennai

would win anyway — with-

out RP Singh’s no ball?

We have won the IPL twice

so we always back ourselves

to do well and chase down huge

totals. We have a formidable

batting line-up and the partner-

ship between MS and

Ravindra Jadeja was simply

amazing. Till the time MS

was there, I was very sure

he would pull this off for us,

but I think Jadeja played re-

ally well. He has proved that

he is a match-winner and a

true performer with the bat.

How difficult was it to

bounce back after the loss

to Mumbai in Chennai’s

opening match?

We would have loved to

start the tournament with a

win, but unfortunately that

did not happen. It was a

close game but there is a

long way to go in this com-

petition. It is just the open-

ing phase of the tournament

and we are looking forward

to learning from our mis-

takes and continue our win-

ning ways.

You will back Chennai to

win the title obviously, but

which team seems most im-

pressive to you?

I think all teams are do-

ing very well. One team that

I feel is on a roll is the

Mumbai Indians. They have

a new captain in Ricky

Ponting. Also their batting

unit is clicking with Dinesh

Karthik and Rohit Sharma

scoring heavily. They really

seem to be the team to

watch out for.

Chennai appear very

cool when faced with big

targets. Is it because of the

kind of confidence you guys

have or would you put it

down to thorough mental

training? We always back

ourselves to perform well.

We have lot of depth in our

batting and experienced

players around. Chasing

huge totals is all about han-

dling pressure and with MS

as captain, there is always

a sense of calmness in the

dugout. He gives everybody

a lot of freedom and confi-

dence which helps the

team.

Samajwadi Party corporator Ashraf Azmi (extreme left).

Vinoba Bhave Nagar police

have booked Samajwadi Party

(SP) councilor Ashraf Azmi in

connection with a case of

murder. Cops have arrested four

persons so far, but Azmi is still

on the run.

According to police, on

February 13 Azmi, who

represents ward no 158,

informed police that Sana Khan

(24) a housewife, who resided

in the area had committed

suicide by hanging herself in

her MIG colony house at Kurla

(West). Police rushed to the

spot and found Sana's body

suspended from a ceiling fan. A

case of accidental death was

registered and investigations

began. The same day, the

deceased's mother Anjum Khan

(65) was informed by Sana's in-

laws about the tragedy. Anjum,

a resident of Hamidpur in Uttar

Pradesh, rushed to Mumbai.

But she and her associates

refused to perform the last rites,

claiming that Sana did not

commit suicide, and she was, in

fact, murdered. In her

supplementary statement

Anjum told police that on

February 12 Sana was tortured

by her in-laws. The victim had

also phoned her brother in

South Africa, saying that she

was being tormented for Rs 10

lakh as dowry.

During a detailed probe

police found that on the day of

the death, the deceased's

husband Gayasuddin (31) had

thrashed Sana in the bathroom

where she fell and eventually

succumbed to injuries. Scared,

the family contacted Azmi, who

allegedly went to the spot,

fabricated the suicide, and then

called the police. Azmi's wife

Dilshad is also a councilor, from

ward no 159. Smelling

something fishy, BJP leader

Anil Upadhyay contacted

several top cops and narrated

the entire story. He also warned

that if the police fail to give

justice to Sana's family, he

would organize a morcha. "The

investigation officer was

favoring Azmi. Following our

demand, he was replaced. Later,

police registered a murder

case," said Upadhayay.

Azmi is absconding. "We

have registered an FIR under

sections 302, 498 (a), 304 (b),

306, 201, 506, 34b of IPC and

sections 3, 4, of Dowry

Prohibition Act. We are

searching for Azmi. He is

absconding," said an officer

from VB Nagar police station.

CROSSWORD

ARIES: The stars

recommend that you

should take proper care

of your health and

temperament during this

week. Some of you might be under

mental stress during first half of the

week and vague feeling of depression

may engulf you.

TAURUS : You will be in a relaxed

and a happy state of mind

most of the time during

this week. Be prepared to

shoulder responsibilities

that come your way

regarding family matters. There is

strong possibility that you would

repent later to wonder how you could

have done this.

GEMINI : Your health

will be fine and you will

feel energetic and able to

undertake tasks that you

had postponed earlier. However

senior citizens might suffer from

joint pains or chest congestion. Long

awaited promotions, elevations in

social status or rise in salary are on

the cards for the most of you.

CANCER : The

planetary configuration

indicates that you are

required to observe

necessary precautions in

your eating habits and take proper

rest coupled with sleep to maintain

your physical and mental health. You

will receive lot of respect from

others.

LEO : The period under

consideration is

favourable for enjoying

good health most of the

time. The favourable days

during this week are likely to be

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. You

are advised to try to make the

optimum use of opportunities when

they come along.

VIRGO : Health and

domestic affairs would need

your attention this week. Do

not neglect an ailment that,

though not serious, may

become a nagging problem. However,

your expertise in preparing meticulous

and detailed project reports will stand you

in good stead later.

LIBRA : Those of you,

who had been suffering

from general weakness and

headaches, would feel

relieved during this week. Youngsters

might decide to go on a health binge.

Regular exercise schedule and proper

diet will make them more relaxed and

active. If connected with computer

related work, you will receive an offer

A

MOST MEN DIE DURING EXTRA-MARI-

TAL SEX, PLUS OTHER MALE SEX FACTS1. Death during sex has

a prototype

While examining the inci-

dence of death during sex, a

1975 study discovered a

unique pattern in males: the

"deceased is usually mar-

ried; he is not with a spouse

and in unfamiliar surround-

ings," and death usually oc-

curs after "a big meal with

alcohol." Another study in

1989 found further evidence

supporting the extramarital

sex bit. Fourteen of the 20

cases of "la mort d'amour,"

or coital death, happened

during an affair.

2. You can tell a guy's

penis size by his fingers

A University of Liverpool

research cited that if a man's

ring fingers are longer than his

index fingers, this means

there were healthy testoster-

one levels in the womb. If the

ring fingers are the same size

or smaller than the index fin-

gers, then the male received

lower levels of testosterone,

implying that one can esti-

mate the length of his organ

by the length of the ring fin-

ger.

Sex and relationships,

Death during extra-marital

sex

3. Can a bowel movement

make for bliss?

In a 2002 study, it was

mentioned that a male had a

history of orgasmic-like feel-

ings after going to the bath-

room. After he answered

nature's call, his body went

through the rest of the male

sexual response cycle. His

pulse rate increased as he

reached climactic state, fol-

lowed by relaxation, then ex-

treme fatigue.

4. Orgasm ... or lack of ...

may prevent breast cancer in

males

A study in Greece found

evidence that the frequency of

adult orgasms may have an

impact on the incidence of

breast cancer in men. In fact,

it was also revealed that males

with breast cancer had experi-

enced fewer orgasms on aver-

age than men without the dis-

ease.

5. Males like 'unusual' sex

Men have a 20 to 1

likeliness against women to

practice an "unusual" and of-

ten socially unacceptable or

illegal behavior, for example

exhibitionism.

6. Trapped sperm

Not all sperm go racing for

the egg at once. Once sperm

has been deposited into the

vaginal canal, some of them

are temporarily trapped in a se-

men coagulate or clot. Even-

tually, they are decoagulated

by enzymes, which set them

free to swim about a female's

reproductive system. This clot-

ting, according to scientists, is

meant to pace the release of

sperm into the uterus, increas-

ing the chance that one of

these sperms will reach the

egg and fertilise it.

7. Oxytocin affects males

too It is believed that oxytocin

affects females during sex

(and breast-feeding). But this

cuddle hormone, released by

both sexes during intimacy, is

also found to influence males.

Research from Switzerland

found that oxytocin is associ-

ated with increased feelings of

trust in males.

sidered a good thing for men

when it comes to their sex

drive, still researchers continu-

ally found that males with

higher testosterone levels

marry less often, are more abu-

sive in their marriages and di-

vorce more regularly. In fact,

married men see more action

than single men.

9. Men fall in love faster

than women

It's not the women, but

men, who get out of control

after a glimpse of the right at-

tractive face and fall head over

heels in love immediately,

claimed love researcher Dr.

Helen Fisher.

10. Family affects test-

osterone As a man becomes

increasingly attached to his

family, his testosterone level

goes down, according to a

2001 Mayo Clinic study. Par-

ticularly, fathers experience a

significant decline in levels of

testosterone with the birth of

his child, especially when he

holds the baby.

36 Mumbai cops suspended for

accepting bribe to allow illegal

construction; probe orderedThe incident comes days after the collapse of an illegal

structure at Mumbra in adjoining Thane district which

claimed 74 lives and left scores injured. Thirty-six

policemen were suspended after an activist caught them

on camera allegedly accepting bribes to turn a blind eye

to an illegal structure, even as an embarrassed Mumbai

Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh on Thursday ordered

a departmental inquiry, terming it a "shameful act". The

exposé by activist Kasim Khan took the city police by

storm with junior cops, mostly constables, attached with

the Nehru Nagar police station in suburban Kurla, seen in

the video accepting money from him."As of now, 36

policemen are suspended. It is a very shameful act. We

will not tolerate such acts. Now, we are taking

departmental action which will be followed by a legal action

soon," Singh said. The action follows an incriminating

video that Khan had recorded at different periods between

March 9 and March 26. Singh, however, observed that

the cops could have been "induced" to accept money.

"Going by the video footage and visuals it seems that

policemen were induced to accept money," Singh said,

adding the Anti-Corruption Bureau will be probing the

matter. "Any police officer indulging in such acts will invite

a strict action and it will not be tolerated," he said.

Most of the suspended cops are constables, besides

those ranked above from the sub-inspector to insp ector

level. Singh said more policemen could also face similar

action. According to Khan, his friend Prakash Nevle was

renovating his house at Thakkar Bappa colony in Kurla

and policemen of Nehru Nagar wanted money to allow

him to proceed with the work after municipal authorities

had stopped it for want of necessary clearances. When

Nevle told him about the demand, Khan suggested him to

direct those policemen to him. He then installed a spy

camera on which he recorded footage of the police

personnel accepting bribe. The activist handed over the

footage to the Deputy Commissioner of Police of the

concerned zone, who forwarded it to the Commissioner

of Police. The incident comes days after the collapse of

an illegal structure at Mumbra in adjoining Thane district

which claimed 74 lives and left scores injured. A massive

demolition exercise has been launched in Thane after the

collapse, the worst such incident in Maharashtra.

Maharashtra govt to exemptST buses from paying toll

Mukesh Ambani requests police chowki

at Antilia fearing terror threat from IM

"Hence forward

whenever new tenders would

be issued ST would be

exempted from paying the

toll. The government would

mention the clause in the

new tender process to

exempt ST buses,"

Chief Minister Prithviraj

Chavan informed in the

Legislative Council. He

said that the state

government will also

talk to existing toll

plazas to exempt statetransport buses from paying

toll. BJP legislator

Dhananjay Munde had raised

the issue through a calling

attention motion during

special sitting of the House.

Mumbai, Fearing terror

attack from Indian

Mujahideen, Reliance group

Chief Mukesh Ambani has

made a request to the BMC

seeking permission for a

police chowki at his plush

residence, Antil ia. The

decision has been made

after Ambani’s office received

a letter, allegedly by the

banned terror outfit Indian

Mujahideen (IM) earlier in

Februray threatening to

cause heavy destruction to

the building for supporting

Gujarat Chief Minister

Narendra Modi. Seeking

permission, Mumbai police

commissioner Satya Pal

Singh has already

approached the BMC to

arrange for a chowki at Antilia

and had also written a letter

seeking its approval, said

BMC Commissioner Sitaram

Kunte to reporters. The

commissioner in his letter

has also declared that the

proposed chowki cannot be

set up for the sake of any

individual but can be arranged

for the entire area

encompassing Altamount

Road. However, the officer

said that if the Ambanis

provide a place then a

temporary chowki can be

immediately erected. Before

permitting to build a chowki

on the building’s premises,

officials claimed that the

police will have to give proper

reason first to the

government and get an

approval. The BMC also will

have to grant more FSI in

case the original FSI

becomes invalid.

Meanwhile, security has

been tightened at Antilia road

including Ambani’s office

building, said the Police. The

letter which was believed to

be sent by the Indian

Mujahideen however did not

carry the group’s original

trademark signature or logo,

but still investigation is under

process and crime branch is

taking all steps to trace out

the culprit Officials also

claimed that during monsoon

season, policemen were put to

great difficulties due to the

absence of proper roof and

there was no proper washroom

as well in the locality. These

problems will be solved by

arranging a chowki in the area,

added the officials.
