Agency | Mumbai Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan was stuck at the Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, few hours before the terrorist attack that has killed at least 36 people. The 42-year-old “Bang Bang!” star, who was vacationing in Africa with sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan, was on his way back to India when he missed his connecting flight at the Istanbul’s airport.
7-year-old girl raped, stabbed to death in Allahabad Agency | Allahabad
A seven-year-old girl was stabbed to death three weeks after being raped by her 14-yearold neighbour, with the victim’s family blaming the relatives of the accused for the murder. The incident took place last night at Sikariha Chhata village under Mauaima police station area, 50 km from the city, SP Rajesh Srivastava said today.

IAF to induct first squadron of homegrown Tejas today: Tejas is likely to perform a sortie during the induction ceremony
It’s been almost every Air Chief’s favourite whipping boy - an Indian-built fighter jet delayed so inordinately that it came to be seen as a promise that would never be kept. But three decades after the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft went into development, there is a grudging acceptance that the fighter which will be officially inducted into the Air Force tomorrow in Bengaluru is, in many ways, worldclass. While the delay in delivery cannot be justified, there have been fierce debates on why that happened. State-run Hindu-
stan Aeronautics or HAL, which is the lead player in the Tejas project, says the air force kept shifting the goal post on what exactly it wanted from the jet. The manufacturer also says it was hit by sanctions imposed by the US after the Pokhran nuclear test in 1998, which placed
crucial technology out of reach. The Air Force, for its part, has insisted there are better options available in the world market, jets built by manufacturers who have been in the business of military aviation for decades. The Tejas, they have argued in the past, will be obsolete
Justice Dhingra Commission seeks 6 weeks time to give report on Robert Vadra’s land deals Agency | Mumbai
Justice S N Dhingra Commission, which was set up to probe into grant of land licences to some companies including that of Robert Vadra’s in Gurgaon during the Congress rule in Haryana, on Thursday sought six weeks more time to submit its report hours before the deadline was to end. Justice Dhingra said he sought more time in order to go through some documents from a person stating “that they are doc-

the state had in December last year extended the Commission’s term for a period of six months and on June 17 this year its term had been extended till Thursday. Earlier, media reports had said the

Commission was ready with its report which would have gone into mutation of a land deal between a firm M/S Skylight Hospitality owned by Robert Vadra and realty major DLF. The Rs 58-crore deal related to 3.5 acre land in Gurgaon’s Shikohpur village which was sold by Vadra to DLF. In October, 2012, senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka had cancelled the mutation of the land deal between Skylight Hospitality and DLF. It was mired by controversy over allegations of undervaluation.

The flyby-wire system gives computer-controlled inputs to charter the flight of the aircraft - and it’s completely Indian. To deal with enemy jets, the Mission Computer which processes data provided by sensors like the radar is Indian. In fact, the hardware and the software of the Mission Computer has been designed around an open architecture framework which means that it can be upgraded in the future.
Abducted Delhi boy returns to Delhi from Dhaka after 7 years A Delhi boy who was abducted and taken to Bangladesh seven years ago has finally returned home and been reunited with his parents on Thursday afternoon. The boy is now 13 and goes by the name Sonu. He was handed over to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka by a court in Bangladesh’s Barguna district on Monday. Bangladesh officials didn’t ask for the signing of a security bond, on humanitarian grounds. On Thursday, Sonu was warmly welcomed by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj as well. This is yet another occasion when Minister Swaraj has acted
promptly in a situation that demanded immediate action. In February, she stepped in to help a woman called Gurpreet, who posted a short video on Twitter, alleging that she and her seven-yearold daughter had been put in a refugee camp in Germany by her husband’s family. And last October, Swaraj facilitated the return of Geeta, a girl who had strayed into Pakistan
and had lived there for close to 16 years. Earlier this week, Swaraj, in a series of tweets, thanked all who had looked after the young boy in Bangladesh. On May 18, Mehboob, Sonu’s father, received a call from Musa, who described the boy. “I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard Musa say, ‘I have found your son’. He will forever be an angel for me,” said Mehboob.

Indian politics: Debating how to have a strong leader..?
Indian politics is once again at the cusp of debating how to have a strong leader who does not undermine the significance of the political party he or she belongs to. In the popular perception, a good leader is someone who is decisive and clear-minded. But the leader is also expected to be more amenable to public opinion, approachable, and accountable. These popular perceptions of leadership influence the manner in which political leaders manage their parties and the way they project themselves. Indira Gandhi was lauded for her strong, almost authoritarian, personality, and was portrayed as “Durga”. But she was also chastised for undermining inner-party democracy, and for initiating a process of de-institutionalisation and making demands for a “committed judiciary” that finally landed Indian democracy in the crisis of the Emergency in 1975. This tension, and friction, between the rather opposing imaginations of leadership is a continuing thread of Indian politics and democracy. Arvind Kejriwal was touted as an honest and approachable leader, who cared about public opinion. But when he sat on dharna and did a sit-in while being the chief minister of Delhi, he was roundly criticised. The general opinion then was a leader cannot bring down the prestige or garima of an official position by taking to the street as a “commoner”: He needed to maintain dignity that comes from keeping a distance from the street. Looking approachable was no longer perceived to be an act of bringing power closer to the common citizen — read direct democracy — but as a violation of the sense of self as a citizen. Kejriwal himself has agreed that what he did came as a “cultural shock” to the aam aadmi in Delhi and elsewhere. A “good leader” also can’t be a “part-time” politician; he has to be a professional and committed to spending all his time with the machinations of party and government. This view coexists with the idea that a good and strong leader is ascetic, who believes in renouncing his personal and private pursuits for the larger cause of the nation. By this logic, those without a family are often, ipso facto, considered to be honest leaders. Power has to be managed with a single-minded pursuit and without personal attachments. This is the gift of the Gandhian imagination of brahmacharya, which means celibacy in the immediate sense, but also indicates a sense of detachment, in the broader sense. It is, therefore, more than a coincidence that among those considered strong and popular leaders are Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalithaa, Navin Patnaik, and Mayawati. They pursue power single-mindedly all the time and never display private emotions. Even leaders who work outside the institutions of state are often gauged by these very standards. There is deep discomfort among Indians with the idea of the private and with being ordinary. The leader has to be larger than life and, perhaps, masculine to gain the “respect” of fellow partymen and the cadre. In this mode of imagining, the leader should not ever have to face dissent or difference of opinion, which are considered signs of weakness and disrespect. There is a serious problem for those who lead an active public life to retreat into the anonymity of the private. This seems to be something specific to the culture of our nation.

prisonment under Section 302 of the IPC. Nanavati, a Parsi man, married English-born Sylvia in 1931. They had two sons and a daughter and were settled in Mumbai, then Bombay. With Nanavati being away most of the time due to his naval assignments, Sylvia fell in love with his friend Prem Bhagwandas Ahuja. Prem agreed to marry Sylvia, provided she divorced her husband. However, Sylvia came to know that Prem has been involved with many other girls. On the day of the crime, when Nanavati returned home from one of his assign-

ments, she found Sylvia depressed. On being questioned, Sylvia confessed about the affair to her husband. Upset with the confession, Nanavati, as promised earlier, dropped his family at the Metro Cinema for a show, but excused himself. He went to the Naval base, collected his pistol and went straight to Prem Ahuja. At Ahuja’s residence, Nanavati asked him whether he intended to marry Sylvia and accept their children. Prem replied “Will I marry every woman I sleep with?” and Nanavati killed him firing three shots, says court records.
Nandamuri Balakrishna to play a farmer in his 101st movie ‘Rythu’ Agency | Chennai Actor Nandamuri Balakrishna has announced that his next project, which happens to be 101st film, is titled “Rythu” and he will be playing a farmer in the movie. Actor-turned-politician Balakrishna, who is a TDP MLA from the Hindupur constituency, spoke about his 101st movie, when he was addressing his constituency. He said his next film “Rythu” is about farmers and it deals with the problems faced by them. The movie is written and directed by Krishna Vamsi. “The film is titled Rythu and is being directed by Krishna Vamsi. Farmers are very important and key for the nation’s
development. I am going to play a farmer in my next film which will showcase and highlight the problems faced by them,” Deccan Chronicle quoted Balakrishna as saying, while discussing the problems faced by farmers in the Hindupur constituency. It was reported earlier that “Rythu” was to be Balakrishna’s 100th film. It
was also reported that the makers would finalise cast and crew in March and its shooting would commence in April. “He feels that Krishna Vamsi is the only director currently who could do justice to this kind of village backdrop story. There is also a political touch to it,” a source had told DC in the last week of February 2016.

Hrithik was asked if he has put the Kangana controversy behind him and moved on. To that, Roshan replied, “Nothing is behind me. It’s in front of me and soon it will be in front of you.” At the event, Kangana also spoke about the importance of expressing her opinions.
Rajnikanth’s Kabali to fly high with this special aircraft
Agency | New Delhi AirAsia India, the official airline partner for Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Kabali,’ has unveiled its new re-branded aircraft featuring a livery dedicated to the upcoming movie and Rajni-fans. “AirAsia India unveiled its all new rebranded aircraft, with a livery dedicated to the most awaited movie of the year-Kabali,” said
AirAsia in a statement. According to the company, this special aircraft is a mark of respect to the Thalaiva for his contribution to Indian cinema. AirAsia said that parts of the aircraft have been painted and stickered with the livery, bearing image of the 65-yearold actor from the movie. Reportedly, the planes from this low fare airline
were used in a few scenes of ‘Kabali.’ The aircraft will be flying across the AirAsia India network covering destinations including Bengaluru, New Delhi, Goa, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Guwahati, Imphal, Vizag and Kochi. As an official airline partner for ‘Kabali,’ it has also planned a special flight from Bengaluru to Chennai for the fans to watch the first-day-firstshow of the movie. The movie, which also stars Radhika Apte, was initially planned for a release on July 1 this year. It was later postponed to July 15 and it is widely speculated that the film has now been pushed further to July 22.

The petitioners called it the “Hollywood whitewashing” for not giving Muslim actors positive roles and typecasting them as negative only. “Casting Leonardo DiCaprio as Rumi rewrites history, takes possession of Muslim accomplishments and gives the credit to a white man,” said Valerie Janovic, a person who set up the petition.
“Now, when people think of Rumi, they’ll picture him with pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Muslim actors are readily typecast as terrorists but when a movie portrays a Muslim in a positive light, they are shunted off to the side to make room for another white actor. The casting for Rumi is not yet final and together we can change it,” he said.

While director Deven Bhojani (who played Dushyant on the show) had said that there is no chance of a return in 2012, the resolve doesn’t seem so steadfast anymore. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai ran on Star Plus from 2004 to 2006 and told the story of an upper class family in Mumbai who bring home a middle class daughter-in-law. The family often ran into one problematic situation after another but emerged stronger after each one.
Thousands sign petition against casting DiCaprio in ‘Rumi’ Agency | Los Angeles
Thousands of people have signed a petition against casting actor Leonardo Dicaprio as a protagonist in a biopic on Persian poet ‘Rumi’. The agitators have demanded the producers to drop The Revenant actor’s name from the list and cast a middle- eastern actor to play the rolrpoet. Currently, DiCaprio’s name is doing the rounds for the lead role and that of Iron man actor Robert Downey Jr for the second lead as Iranian mystic Shams of Tabriz. The controversy rose after the film’s screenwriter, David Franzoni, disclosed his casting plans, in an interview with The Guardian. “I hope to challenge the stereotypical portrayal of Muslim characters in

“Halal ” A benchmark of certified quality products Agency | Ahmedabad Haji Shakeel Qureshi , India’s renowned entrepreneur, exporter and socialist supported a campaign to create awareness amongst the people about the “Halal” certification. International Standards are backbone of our society , ensuring the safety and quality of products and services, facilitating international trade and improving the environment in which we live in. Labelling prevent deception and help consumers make welfare-maximizing choices. A consumer can get the most only if he/ she has accurate information about the foods under consideration. Accordingly, the goal of label information is to help consumers identify the food products that best match their preferences, thus helping consumers spend wisely. Mr Haji Shakeel Qureshi said, “ We all are quite familiar with word “Halal” but our knowledge of this word is very shallow..Very few of us are aware of real sense of this word. Most of us relate Halal to Halal Meat but It is just one small aspect of Halal. Halal is an Arabic word which means permitted, lawful with respect to which no restriction exists. The word Halal has a broader meaning which actually means whatever one does should comply with ethical means. Whatever one earns, sells, consumes or trade should be done with honesty, clear thoughts and always abstain from dishonesty and cheating.

Asked what he makes out of Kumble-Virat Kohli combination, Vijay said it would be early to make such a comment but expects to have great 12 months ahead for Indian cricket. “I can’t talk anything ahead of time.
It will be too early to comment on that, but it is going to be great 12 months for us as a team that much I can guarantee you. We are going to be up for it and we just want to be best in coming 12 months,” he said.

Novak Djokovic played in this year’s first round win over Kazakhstan, taking part in three of the five rubbers over the weekend
Indians’ money in Swiss banks has dropped by onethird to record low of 1.2 billion franc or Rs 8,392 crore. According to reports, funds held directly by Indians drop to 1,207 million Swiss franc, while money held through fiduciaries hit record low of 10.9 million franc. A number of Swiss and other European banks had started asking Indian clients to disclose their accounts to the tax authorities back home as they fear being accused of ‘abetting’ the hoarding of untaxed assets. These banks, which include those headquartered in Switzerland and London, are asking their customers from India, including those having turned NRIs, to avail the ongoing ‘one-time compliance’ window provided by the Indian tax authorities for disclosure of undeclared foreign assets. Besides, these banks are also asking their clients to give fresh undertakings to state that they are ‘in compliance’ with all the laws in their home countries, executives at some of these large financial institutions said.

When people come up and say that they look up to you and they draw inspiration from you, it means a lot personally. But it also carries a huge responsibility as everything I do and say affects a lot of people,” Kohli, who has been connecting personally with his fans via his fan club Fanbox, told agency in

I am also passionate about learning, which means that I look at my past performance and wish to learn from my mistakes. These are some of the things that I hope get picked up by my fans,” Kohli added. Kohli has made a place for himself outside the cricket field as well. The 27-year-old made his fashion debut with a menswear clothing line called Wrogn and he also has his charity foundation to help underprivileged children. The Delhi-based sportsperson was first noticed when he captained India to the ICC Under-19 World Cup title in 2008.
Virat Kohli: Being role model for youngsters great feeling
Agency | New Delhi Home grown e-commerce major Flipkart is not looking at any fresh round of funding in the immediate future and remained unperturbed on the valuation markdown in recent months terming it a cyclical phenomenon. Interacting with mediapersons following a courtesy meeting with Karnataka industries minister R V Deshpande here on Wednesday, Flipkart chairman Sachin Bansal said, “We are well funded for a long period of time and don’t need to raise any money.” Flipkart has cumulatively raised around $3.2 billion till now. The last round of funding came in July 2015 when it received $700 million. On the other hand, its nearest competitor, Amazon has announced a fresh investment of $3 billion in India. There have been reports that Flipkart has been looking to raise fresh funds from existing and new investors but could not agree on the valuation. On the markdown in the valuation of Flipkart from $15.2 billion to $9.3 billion by few of its investors like Morgan Stanley, T Rowe Price, Bansal said, “I do not think much of the markdowns. We should just focus on execution and keep our heads down on serving our customers.”

Star player Virat Kohli says being a role model for others is a huge responsibility as it can “affect a lot of people”.

You are given a date for a job interview, you choose to be vacationing in another country and give your interview online. Once a better candidate is chosen, you cry foul, ‘I was promised that the CEO, COO and MD will all be there, why the COO was missing?’ Can an interviewee decide on the internal dynamics of how to conduct the process is conducted? Maybe Indian cricket has different parameters with many luminaries’ thought-processes bordering on the lines of rights and inheritance. Ravi Shastri is clearly not a happy man. It is not easy for a straight-speaking man who wears a lot of pride
on his sleeve to accept rejection. Before setting off to Bangkok, the former Team Director might have envisaged himself in the chair of Team India’s Head coach but unfair that a fair selection process ensued and shattered those dreams. India great Bishan Singh Bedi speaks about “rights” that “Shastri has every reason to be peeved with selection process when one selec-
tor played truant.” Going by Bedi’s words, Shastri was peeved with the entire process then why just target the “one selector”.
