Balochistan blast: At least 13 killed in suicide attack at Jhal Magsi shrine
cials said at least 13 people were killed and nearly 20 others injured. At least one policeman was also killed. A senior Levies official confirmed that so far 12 bodies have been recovered from the blast site. Rescue officials fear that the death toll could rise as the blast took place when there was a heavy rush of devotees who had gathered at the shrine to pay their respect. Thursdays are usually busy in terms of attendance at shrines. Talking to media, Balochistan Home Minister Mir
Sarfaraz Bugti said so far it appeared to be a suicide attack. “Investigations are still continuing and the injured have been moved to the district headquarters hospital in Jhal Magsi,” Bugti said. Balochistan government spokesman Anwarul Haq Kakar confirmed that it was a suicide attack. Balochistan government spokesman Anwarul Haq Kakar confirmed that it was a suicide attack. Initial probe showed that the blast occurred when a sufi dance called dhamal was going in the premises of the shrine. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.

An Additional Deputy Commissioner-rank officer has begun an inquiry into the matter, he added.
others said he might join the public meeting scheduled to take place in Thalassery in the evening. Sources in the BJP described the curtailing of the trip as “rescheduling” and added that the party president will be present on the last day of the fortnight-long campaign on October 17, where he is sched-
uled to attend the concluding ceremony in Thiruvananthapuram. Some state BJP leaders blamed it on “bad planning”, while some rumours cited Shah’s health as a reason for cutting short the programme — they said the party president should not have walked the entire stretch on Tuesday. Shah walked nine kilometres on Tuesday, from Payyannur to Pilathara, where he addressed a public rally. Shah’s decision to skip the padyatra would be a major embarrassment to its Kerala unit.

The court, however, said that Jafri’s plea succeeds as far as her demand of fresh investigation was concerned before the magisterial court. “The trial court has self-limited itself in saying that further investigation, in this case, can’t be ordered. This order of lower court deserves interference. So, the petitioner can raise the issue before the concerned court that is the same magisterial court, the division bench of the high court or the Supreme Court,” Jus-
tice Sonia Gokani said. Justice Gokani while pronouncing the order said that the magisterial court, which first accepted the closure report, was wrong in its judgment that it didn’t have the power to order a fresh investigation. “The court doesn’t believe in the larger conspiracy theory propounded by the petitioners as the Supreme Court has monitored the investigation,” Justice Gokani said. Zakia had moved the
high court in 2014 against a closure report filed by the Supreme Court-appointed SIT on the issue of a larger criminal conspiracy involving Modi and others behind 2002 riots cases.

Agency | New Delhi At least 13 people were killed and nearly 20 others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a Sufi shrine packed with devotees in Pakistan’s troubled Balochistan province on Thursday, police officials said.

A six-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 23-year-old employee of a private school in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area on Wednesday afternoon. The girl, a Class I student, had gone to washroom in the middle of her classes when she was allegedly raped. The accused, a housekeeping staff hired 15 days ago, has been arrested. The girl did not tell anything to the school teacher,
however, she told her mother about the alleged incident when she reached home. There were rashes in her private parts and she also complained of pain, said a police officer. The mother then rushed her to school and informed the teachers about the assault. The teachers then caught the accused who has been identified as Rakesh. “I got a call from my wife after which I rushed to the school. From there a
call was made to police and the accused was handed over to them,” the girl’s father said. “The police then took us to AIIMS where doctors confirmed she was raped,” said her father. Her father further said it was
utter carelessness on the part of the school administration to let a male enter female toilets. School headmistress Sushma Manchnada, however, said that every washroom is manned by a female attendant.

Amit Shah skips Kerala Jan Raksha Yatra, BJP left red-faced
In a major setback to BJP’s ambitious Jan Raksha Yatra, which began in Kannur on Tuesday with a war cry against the CPM, party chief Amit Shah has cut short his programme. Shah was back in the national capital on Tuesday itself. Although there is no official confirmation about his return to the state, party sources said Shah is unlikely to take part in the march (padyatra) on Thursday, which is scheduled to pass through Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s home-
town. Neither the BJP’s media cell nor the state unit leaders have given any reason for his absence from padyatra on Thursday. On Wednesday, the BJP president was expected to attend programmes in Mangalore, which, too, were cancelled. While some state leaders said Shah’s programme has been cancelled,

US govt tells Pakistan to deliver regional peace for its own good
Talks between the US and Pakistan on Islamabad’s role in fomenting terrorism and instability in Afghanistan and the sub-continent have yielded little, with principals on both sides distracted by domestic developments. Embroiled in a messy controversy at home over his purported rift with the US President and whether he called Trump a moron, US secretary of state Rex Tillerson engaged his Pakistani counterpart Khwaja Asif with little enthusiasm. Pakistan’s foreign minister, on his part, brought nothing to the table, at least publicly, other than the familiar laundry list of complaints and disclaimers, despite warnings from the Trump administration that it was running out of time before Washington initiates punitive action. The little that Tillerson said -ahead of his talks with Asif -was not entirely flattering to Pakistan. It revealed the Trump administration’s disquiet over the state of affairs in Pakistan, including its continued subversive role in the region, its confrontation with India, and reports of a growing rift between the military and the civilian leadership inside the country . As a result, Tillerson framed US-Pakistan ties in the regional context rather than giving it any bilateral lift. Asked if the US has a reliable partner in Pakistan now, this was his response: “Yes, I believe we do. I think the Pakistan relationship and the US rela tionship is extraordinarily important regionally . And as we rolled out the South Asia strategy , we spoke about it in a regional context. It is not just about Afghanistan. “This is about the importance of Pakistan and Pakistan’s long-term stability as well. We have concerns about the future of Pakistan’s government, too, in terms of them -we want their government to be stable and we want it to be peaceful. And many of the same issues they’re struggling with inside of Pakistan are our issues,“ he added cryptically . Further remarks suggested Pakistan could regain favours in Washington only if it stopped its regional subversion and delivered peace. “We think there is an opportunity to strengthen that relationship. We’re going to be working very hard at all levels, from the state department to the defence department to our intelligence communities, as well as economic, commerce opportunities as well.

Twinkle Khanna Forgot Wedding Date. So Akshay Kumar Did This

Hollywood-Bollywood Bigg Boss 11, October 5: Will Shilpa And Vikas Stop Bickering? We Think Not Agency | New Delhi
Television actor Shilpa Shinde became a household name after her role of Angoori Bhabhi in the popular sitcom, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai. Her punch line, “Sahi Pakde Hain” and her easy breezy character came as a big relief for the television viewers. But after being a part of the show for almost one year, Shilpa left it which created a hullabaloo among her fans.
Flowers and cards are all passé. Actor Akshay Kumar shows you how to impress your wife by telling her you remember their wedding date. Akshay and Twinkle Khanna have shot for an advertisement which probably is the best thing on the Internet currently. The video, shared by them on social media, starts with Twinkle working on her laptop,
sets of the show and even demanded a pay hike. The next year, in March 2017, Shilpa filed a case against Sushant Singh, the chairman of CINTAA alleging of harming her reputation in the industry. Her accusations received an equal amount of support and criticism. While her many fans came out to speak for the actor, her co-actor Saumya Tandon called her behaviour ‘childish’.
Uday has been active on his social media handles including Twitter, he has been out of the limelight for quite some time now. He was last seen in Dhoom 3 alongside Aamir Khan. Uday is currently 44 years old but in his early years, he was one such star who used to keep physical
fitness before anything else. But just like everybody else, what can Uday do but age? His white beard and plump personality are now coming as a surprise to his fans because they still had the old image of Uday in their minds. He was also rumoured to be dating Nargis Fakhri.

Aamir Khan’s Secret Superstar receives standing ovation at first copy screening Agency | New Delhi
Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie Secret Superstar received a standing ovation at its first copy screening from the audience present on Wednesday. Aamir Khan, Vijay Krishna Acharya and Aditya Chopra, in addition to the film team, attended the films screening. The Dangal star wanted to see the film once before leaving for Istanbul. So yesterday, a special screening was held for Aamir Khan and the cast and crew of the film.

asks Akshay, ‘which year did we get married?’ She googled simultaneously and the search engine beat Akshay in giving the correct answer. The focus later moves to Akshay, who says, “If your wife forgets your anniversary then that’s a danger sign.” He smiles and the scene then shifts to Twinkle, who apparently is getting ready for a party and there comes a surprise for her.
Following her exit, we saw some mud slinging between the channel heads and Shilpa. The actor claimed that the makers of the show tortured her ‘mentally’ and asked her to sign a contract after which she could not be a part of any other show on any channel. However, the channel had a different tale to tell. The production house of the show claimed that Shilpa threw tantrums on the

Everyone, who had attended the screening, was moved by the film and also gave a standing ovation to it. Amit Trivedi, who has composed the music for the film, had also attended the first copy screening. Amit Trivedi shared, “I have been working on secret super-

Malaika Arora nailed the princess look once again
Agency | New Delhi

Malaika Arora attended the Elle Beauty Awards in Mumbai last night and she once again set temperatures soaring in a Gaurav Gupta gown. The fashion influencer looked like a princess in a white, one-shoulder, structural gown. Apart from the interesting drape, we love the mesh detailing on the back of this gown as it accentuated her figure well. Styled by celebrity stylist Maneka Harisinghani, Arora accessorised her gorgeous gown with statement danglers from the house of Swarovski.
In 2004, a fit-looking, ripped jeans wearing Uday Chopra made his debut with Dhoom alongside Abhishek Bachchan. Cut to 2017, an almost unrecognizable, bulky Uday was spotted outside the bungalow of Emraan Hashmi and his pictures have gone viral ever since. Sporting a black t-shirt with denim jeans and a salt and pepper stubble, it is extremely hard to recognize this beefed-up version of Uday Chopra. While
Prabhas And Anushka Shetty Are Such ‘Good Friends’ That Dating Rumours Are Funny
Are Prabhas and Anushka Shetty getting engaged in December? - This was the sort of query Google has been receiving for the past couple of days
Agency | New Delhi
“Are Prabhas and Anushka Shetty about to make their rumoured relationship official?”, “Are the two Baahubali co-stars getting engaged in December?” - These were the sort of queries Google has been receiving for the past couple of days with speculation about the two South superstars’ relationship status keeping the gossip mills busy. There’s not been any reaction from Anushka yet but that’s probably because Prabhas
did a good job at addressing the rumours. Prabhas appeared least perturbed with such reports and told Navbharat Times in a recent interview: “Anushka and I had decided that we’ll never let dating rumours about us do the rounds.” The two have known each other for almost a decade, revealed Prabhas: “We are family friends for 9 years. We are good friends. We know each other for years.” Prabhas and Anushka are best known for their
work in the Baahubali series of films but 2009’s Telugu movie Billa was actually their first movie together. Prabhas chuckled while saying this: “But whenever this sort of speculation begins, I get thinking if there’s something for real between the two of us. But we know there’s nothing more between the two of us. This is nothing new, actually. Whenever a pair of actors work in more than one movie, they are linked together.”

Heinous offences can’t be quashed if victim settles dispute: Supreme Court
Agency | New Delhi
Proceedings in heinous offences, like murder or rape cases, cannot be quashed even if the victims or their families settle the dispute with the accused, the Supreme Court has held. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said that serious offences involving mental depravity or offences such as murder, rape and dacoity are not private in nature but have a serious impact on the society. “Heinous and serious offences involving
mental depravity or offences such as murder, rape and dacoity cannot appropriately be quashed (even) though the victim or the family of the victim have settled the dispute,” the bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said. “Such
offences are, truly speaking, not private in nature but have a serious impact upon society. The decision to continue with the trial in such cases is founded on the overriding element of public interest in punishing persons for serious offences,” the top court said. The

court observed this in a judgement while upholding the Gujarat High Court’s decision refusing to quash an FIR lodged against four persons in an alleged land grab case. “Economic offences involving the financial and economic well-being of the state have implications which lie beyond the domain of a mere dispute between private disputants,” it said. The bench dismissed the appeal filed by the four persons seeking quashing of an FIR against them for al-
legedly grabbing land on the basis of forged documents in Gujarat. The petitioners had contended that the FIR against them should be quashed since the matter had been settled with the land owner who had filed a criminal complaint. The court observed that the “high court would be justified in declining to quash where the offender is involved in an activity akin to a financial or economic fraud or misdemeanour.”

Ex-Congress leader, Shankersinh Vaghela who recently floated a third front for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls said on Thursday that he covered 6000 kilometers in the first leg of his tour across the state where he discovered an “undercurrent” against both the BJP and the Congress. After announcing Jan Vikalp front on September 19, Vaghela had undertaken a 13-day tour of different pilgrimage spots in Gujarat. “During these visits, we found a huge un-
dercurrent against both the BJP and the Congress.

that the College of Agriculture, affiliated to the Navsari Agricultural University, has been told that a helipad needs to be built there. The process of clearing the cotton crops has started. The students wrote to the Bharuch collector after their complaint to the principal, Dr. Kantilal Patel, fell on deaf ears, they said. When asked about the
students’ objections, Kantilal Patel said: “The district collector told us they wanted our premises to build the helipad for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s programme, so we gave our land. I don’t want to speak more on the subject.” Modi is expected to be on a two-day visit to Gujarat on October 7-8 to start off a slew of projects, among
which are the laying of the foundation stone for a barrage over the Narmada river at Bhadbhut village and flagging off a train from Surat to Bihar. Both will be done from the College of Agriculture’s grounds. The portion of land is part of the regional cotton research station, one of only two rain-fed research stations.
