Pakistan court orders Lakhvi’s release
The main suspect of the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008, raises his fist after his court appearance in Islamabad Agency : LAHORE A Pakistan court on Thursday suspended the Punjab government’s detention order against 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind and LeT operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi under a public security act and ordered his immediate release. Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq of Lahore High Court suspended the detention of 55-year-old Lakhvi under Maintenance of Public Order after the government failed to present sensitive records against him
in the court. The judge ordered Lakhvi to submit two surety bonds worth Rs. 1 million each for his release. “The law officer had submitted important information about Lakhvi, but the court did not accept this and declared the evidence unsatisfactory,” an official of the court. Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq on the last hearing on April 7, 2015 had directed the government’s counsel to submit record of secret documents about activities of Lakhvi on Thursday. Lakhvi had challenged
the March 14, 2015 order of Punjab government’s District Coordination Officer, Okara to detain him for 30 days. Lakhvi’s counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi argued that after the court’s earlier direction he had filed a representation before the Punjab Home Secretary against his “illegal” detention but the Home Secretary dismissed it and upheld the 30-day detention order issued by District Coordination Officer, Okara. Mr. Abbasi pleaded that a person could not be detained beyond 90 days
In Gujarat, 12-Hour Bus Tours for Tourists Who Are PM Modi Fans Sunvilla News, Ahmedabad

All the 10 accused in the multi-crore Satyam Computers account fraud, were found guilty by the judge B.V.L.N. Chakravarthy. Ramalinga Raju and his brother Rama Raju, former managing director, have been penalised Rs.5.5 crore each, while the eight other accused were asked to pay a penalty of Rs.50 lakh each.

faced charges under Sections 120-B read with 420 IPC. He was also convicted under Sections 409, 467, 468, 471, 477-A and 201 of IPC. The sentence under the various charges will run concurrently. He has already served jail sentence in the case from January 10, 2009 to August 19, 2010. He was freed on bail by the High Court in Hyderabad in August 2010. Following the cancellation of the bail by the Supreme Court, he was again lodged in jail from
November 10, 2010 to November 5, 2011. Along with Mr. Ramalinga Raju, nine others – B. Rama Raju, Srinivas Vadlamani (former Chief Financial officer), S. Gopalakrishnan and Taluri Srinivas (partners Price Waterhouse), B. Suryanarayana Raju, Prabhakar Gupta (internal auditor), G. Ramakrishna (Head, Finance), D.

sented properly before court by Pakistani agencies. Lakhvi and six others — Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum — have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attacks in November 2008 that left 166 people dead.
without obtaining an order from review board and the detention period of his client had gone beyond 90 days. A Provincial review board comprises judges of the High Court. He pointed out that trial court had released Lakhvi on bail in December 2014. However, District Magistrate of Islamabad issued detention order against him. Later, Islamabad High Court set aside Lakhvi’s detention and ordered the government to release him. However, another detention order was issued by the DCO Okara and he was not released, the counsel argued. He had pleaded the court to strike down the impugned
order and order the government to release Lakhvi. India had earlier strongly reacted to the Islamabad High Court’s ruling on March 13, 2015, saying the overwhelming evidence against Lakhvi has not been pre-

Mobile calls to be cheaper by up to 23%; SMS to cost 40% less Agency : New Delhi Mobile calls while in roaming will be cheaper by up to 23%, while sending SMSes will cost up to 40% less from 1 May as regulator TRAI has slashed ceiling tariffs. However, following this TRAI order, subscribers will not be able to avail of schemes that allowed them to make calls and send SMSes while in roaming at home circle rates. “TRAI has reduced ceiling tariffs for national roaming calls and SMS and has mandated telecom service providers to offer a special roaming tariff plan. These changes will come into effect from 1 May 2015,” TRAI said in a statement on Thursday. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has cut the maximum or ceiling rate that a telecom operator can charge for STD calls on roaming to Rs.1.15 per minute from Rs.1.5. Similarly, national SMS rate has been reduced to 38 paise from Rs.1.5 per SMS. Also, an operator can charge a maximum 25 paise for each local SMS instead of the current Re 1 per SMS at present.

case, the prosecution cited the case of Alister Pareira, who was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder after seven persons were killed in a hit- andrun case in 2006. The prosecution said both cases were similar. Summarising his arguments, Mr. Gharat said that apart from one Ramashray Pandey, no witness had suggested that more
than three persons were there in the car. “The prosecution's case is that only three persons were in the car. There is no attempt to bring Kamaal Khan on the driving seat or even to the front. Ravindra Patil [the police constable who was Salman’s bodyguard] was crossquestioned extensively. The defence will begin its final arguments on Friday.
Rajnath stranded in lift, scales wall to come out Agency : New Delhi Home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday got stuck in a lift and had to climb a stool to scale the wall, sending his security officials into a tizzy for a while. The incident happened when Singh went to visit a Central Reserve Police Force complex in South Delhi to attend the 'Valour Day' celebrations of the central paramilitary force. Describing the incident, while addressing the function, the home minister said he himself took the initiative to evacuate three others - minister of state for home Haribhai Chaudhary, CRPF chief Prakash Mishra and Singh's OSD BK Singh - before he came out of the elevator. "We
were coming by the lift...it got stuck... you become claustrophobic... we had to climb a stool to get out... It was then that I decided that first the CRPF DG should come out of the lift, then my MoS (Chaudhary)... and then only I will come out after evacuating others. "So, why I am saying all this... because one should do his or her work keeping in mind others' well-being
and one should work with pious thoughts," he said. Officials who were present during the short duration incident said Singh's OSD first came out of the stuck lift and then he and others pulled out the other three. The lift in the CRPF 'Shaurya' premises here is placed to ferry people from the ground floor to the first where the auditorium is located.

Gujarat cricket-betting racket, 5 cops suspended The Rs 4,000 crore cricket-betting racket busted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Gujarat during the world cup has reached at the doors of several state police officials who forged nexus with betting operators. Two leading bookies Tommy Patel and Kiran Patel were booked by the ED when it raided a farm house near Vadodara and over a dozen laptops and 100 mobile phones were seized. Late on Tuesday, Gujarat home department suspended five policemen including two police inspectors (PI) of Gandhinagar and Vadodara, who were found to be linked with bookies running the racket from a farm house in Vadodara. “Based on the enforcement directorate’s report, we have ordered an inquiry into the allegations of nexus between bookies and police and suspended five policemen,” Gujarat’s additional chief secretary (home) GR Aloria. Sources said that four IPS officials who served in Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad and Vadodara are under scanner in the betting. North Gujarat is said to be its hub. “We are conducting an inquiry into the corruption angle of the betting scam,” said Ashish Bhatiya, head of Gujarat’s anti-corruption bureau (ACB). He, however, refused to divulge whether any IPS officer is being probed. “The ED has submitted a detailed report to the Gujarat authorities on the betting and how widespread it has become in the state with police turning blind eye to the menace,” a top official said, adding, “the satta operators’ link with police is not limited to lower level policemen. In fact, it goes up to SP and range IG levels.” Officials in the central agency had told media that every world cup match used to generate `20 crore betting turnover in the racket run by Tommy and Kiran, who have been slapped with Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED has reportedly taped mobile phones of top bookies which revealed links with Gujarat police officials, who not only turned blind eye to the menace but provided shelter to the bookies to flourish their network. “We have found that the bookies in Gujarat were linked with bookies in Mumbai, Delhi and Dubai,” said a Gujarat police official. The estimated daily transaction from the betting was Rs. 5 crore with a daily turnover of Rs. 25 to 30 crore. ED sleuths have recovered electronic data and transaction records related to cricket matches over the last two years, including the IPL tournaments and the ongoing World Cup matches, which could peg the estimated total betting turnover to hundreds of crores. The agency is currently investigating the case under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act where gambling is a bailable offence. The detainees have been on previous occasions been arrested by various agencies for betting and gambling, sources said. They were nabbed from a farmhouse on the outskirts of Vadodara. The ED has recovered a hundred mobile phones and a dozen laptops.

People said Broken Horses was a Introducing Priyanka Chopra as revolution: Vidhu Vinod Chopra Ayesha Mehra in ‘Dil Dhadkne Do’
Agency : New Delhi Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra has explored the uncharted territory of English movies with Broken Horses, and he says that he is not worried about getting an audience for the film. The 62year-old director-producer, who is behind blockbusters
like the Munnabhai series, 3 Idiots and PK, said that he made the film as he took it as a challenge, and the thought of minting money never crossed his mind. "It is a huge challenge. I don't make a film keeping the audience in mind. If I do that, then it means I am making money for myself.
Then I could have probably have made a 4 Idiots because my audience is ready, and I would have made another 200 crores. That has never driven me. I am a little bit like Rancho from 3 Idiots. What drives me is excellence and challenge, not money," Chopra said.

This will be for the second time, when Sunny will be hosting the reality dating show. Talking about the same Sunny said, "Yes, I will be reprising my role as the cohost on the season 8 of MTV Splitsvilla. Working with MTV is always a blast and I had a great time hosting the show last season. I was super excited to know that the show topped all charts last year, and when MTV approached me to cohost the show again this year, I had to say yes.” Revaeling about the upcoming 8th season of the show, the Baby Doll said, "This season is going to be filled with love, romance and so much more.

ping up her first Hollywood show ‘Quantico’, plays the role of an entrepreneur who is the only daughter of Mehras played by Anil Kapoor and Shefali Shah. ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ is about a dysfunctional Punjabi family which goes on a cruise trip to revive their lost love. Ayesha has a troubled rela-
tionship with her husband played by Farhan Akhtar and is shown to be very close to her brother Kabir Mehra (Ranveer Singh). Priyanka’s first look was unveiled on Twitter. ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ also stars Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah and Anushka Sharma and the movie is set to release on June 5, 2015.

Sushant Singh Rajput: Want to Who is Sidharth Malhotra push the envelope with my films
being compared to now?
Agency : New Delhi Taapsee Pannu is one of a kind. In a film like Baby, where the lead actor is Akshay Kumar who’s displaying some death defying stunts, Taapsee walks away with all the acclaim by punching, kicking, mauling and bruising Sushant Singh all alone in one of the fight sequences. Now, she gifted herself a BMW!Niceeee!!!! It seems Baby‘s slam-bamthank-you-Mam has worked in favour of Taapsee by bestowing her with success and riches. It’s a slick looking black BMW
that could have gone well with her feisty role in Baby. There is always a next time though! Taapsee will next be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s Agra Ka Daabra and Running Shaadi.com. It is interesting to see how more and more actresses are owning cars. Only recently, Mallika Sherawat flaunted her Lamborghini, raising many questions as to who might have gifted it to her or if she gifted it to herself. Whatever may be the reason, I like the way actresses are pampering themselves silly with luxurious cars.
Agency : New Delhi Sidharth Malhotra is undoubtedly one of the most emerging newcomers, who
are making it big in Bollywood today. Along with his successful stint in films, Sid is also consid-
ered one of the most stylish actors around. And now, his dressing sense has made stylists compare him to Saif Ali Khan. Making simple look dashing, Sidharth has an excellent capability of pulling off any kind of attire- whether they are suits or something totally Indian. Often, his style statements are similar to that of Saif Ali Khan. A lot of designers and stylists who have worked with Sidharth have pointed this out to him. While the young lad really likes Saif's dressing sense, he personally feels he dresses for comfort depending on the occasion.
Agency : New Delhi With his portrayal of Byomkesh Bakshy getting appreciation, Sushant Singh Rajput is a happy man and the actor says he will continue to explore challenging roles in his future projects. It was something of a risk for both Sushant and director Dibakar Banerjee to reinvent the popular literary character as a young, inexperienced man in "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!" but it seems to have paid off. "The film has made its mark. It has got a lot of praise for its direction, production design and look. I am really happy with the way it is been received. In fact, my family was surprised to see my transformation," Sushant said. The 29-year-
old rising star has taken a short break post the film's release last Friday and will begin shooting for his next soon. He is playing the lead in Mahendra Singh Dhoni biopic besides Shekhar Kapur's 'Paani'. When asked about directors' trust in him, Sushant said, "It may be because they think I want to learn. I don't know how
talented I am but one thing I am very sure about is that I will give it my 100 per cent. I will do it with utmost honesty." Sushant's journey in the industry has been good so far and he wants to keep that momentum. "All the films that I want to do this year, next year and in near future, I really want to push the envelope with them.

But we have done well to come out winning our very first game. "We were just calm throughout the game, because we knew it was our home game and we could handle the pressure pretty well. Each and every player

Yadav also seemed to be happy after being promoted up the order and his reaction pretty much summed up his excitement batting at the top of the order. "Today I was promoted up the order and given an opportunity by the captain and the support staff. Any player in any team would like to bat at the top of the order in this format. I am grateful to them for that. The team management has given me a lot of confidence over the last year.

Agency : Chennai The most consistent team across all seasons of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings would look to put behind the offfield distractions and do what they are best at when they take on previous edition's bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils in their opening match of the Twent20 league here on Thursday. The Super Kings were hounded by the spot-fixing scandal, in which their Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan was indicted by a Supreme Court-monitored probe committee last year. But the team, which has made the
last four in each of the previous seven Indian Premier League seasons, including four straight final appearances and two titles, still managed to reach the second qualifier. This edition is expected to be no different as they start afresh under the able leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming once again. Such has been their might that three years without a title is being considered a trophy drought and they would look to bounce back and silence the critics. They have managed to retain the nucleus of the side and have invested in
Irfan Pathan, Michael Hussey, Kyle Abott, Rahul Sharma. Boosted by the presence of New Zealand's Brendon McCullum, who had a fabulous World Cup recently, and Dwayne Smith at the top of the order, CSK should not face any problem getting off a swift start. The middle order too, looks all settled with the likes of Suresh Raina, Hussey, Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo in the ranks. In case, these big names fail to fire, CSK have all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin down the order to finish the job with the bat.

while Satbir Singh (49th) rounded off the tally with another field strike. For Canada, who are ranked 15th in the world as compared to India's ninth spot, Oliver Scholfield (43rd), Jagdish Gill (49th) and David Jameson (52nd) were the goal getters. Even though India had the better share of possession and ball control, they were far from impressive. For the fourth straight match, the Indians
were guilty of missing numerous chances and their fragile backline as usual conceded soft goals. In the presence of two big dragflick exponents in Raghunath and Rupinder, penalty corners are considered India's strong point, but they cut a sorry figure in this department as well, utilising just two of the eight short corners that came their way Thursday. Besides being new chief coach Paul van Ass' first win after taking charge of the team, the only solace from today's game was the performance of its forwardline, who finally showed some form by scoring three fine field goals. Minutes later India got their first scoring chance but Satbir was denied by the Canadian goalkeeper David Carter.
Agency : Augusta Here’s a fun fact about Anirban Lahiri: Of his seven wins on the Asian and European Tours, four have come in playoffs and three have come by a single shot. “I have been accused of making things more dramatic in the past by my mom, especially because she gets palpitations whenever I go into a playoff,” Lahiri told Firstpost after winning the Indian Open in a playoff in February. “I average less than half a shot per win, if you want to look at it that way. “It is not like I make it easy, exactly. But I have managed to pull myself out of most these situations, which is a big positive.” It is the ability to pull himself out of tough situ-
ations that sets Lahiri apart from his Indian peers and explains why he is about to become just the third Indian professional golfer to play The Masters, the most exclusive of the golf’s four Major championships. It is a quality that Lahiri has honed with the kind of deliberate at-
tention that most golfers only give to the physical side of their games. “I think he loves it [the pressure],” Darshan Veeraraghavan, who was one of Lahiri's contemporaries at the IGU junior golf camps held at Eagleton golf course near Bangalore starting in 2002.

Was Gujarat HC fast-tracking only Kodnani? SC freezes appeals in Naroda Patiya case Agency : New Delhi The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed for two months proceedings in the Gujarat High Court on appeals filed by the convicts in the 2002 Naroda Patiya riots case, in which former Minister Maya Kodnani was awarded life sentence. ”There will be interim stay on proceedings in the High Court on the appeals for two months,” a bench of Chief Justice H.L. Dattu and Justices M.B. Lokur and M.Y. Iqbal said. The apex court also expressed the view that all the eleven appeals should be heard together. The Special Investigating Team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court, which probed the riot cases, had complained that the High Court has been expeditiously hearing only Kodnani's appeal when appeals of her co-convicts were pending. The SIT, through senior advocate Harish Salve who is assist-
ing the apex court as amicus curiae in the riots cases, had said the High Court judge was not deciding on its application for hearing all the appeals together.

Relief for 481 families as VMC set to go ahead with JNNURM housing draw
Correspondent, Vadodara The wait might soon be over for 481 families displaced from their Kalyannagar homes during the demolition drive of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) in November last year. Acting under pressure, the civic body took a decision Wednesday to complete the Sayajipura JNNURM housing draw by Friday after it was “suspended”, following protests from local residents to the prospect of having Muslim neighbours.
Majority of the families evicted due to these demolitions were Muslims. On Wednesday, in a meeting with representatives of the families awaiting rehabilitation from the Kalyannagar demolitions, Municipal Commissioner H S Patel assured that the 481 families would be allotted homes in Sayajipura. Patel instructed officers of the JNNURM housing department to begin the process of conducting the draw. If all goes according to plan, the draw will be
conducted on Friday, officials said. The VMC received much flak for delaying rehabilitation of the Muslim families at the alleged behest of Mayor Bharat Shah, who cowered under petitions from local residents. OnApril 3, The Indian Express had reported that Muslim families displaced during the November demolitions had been left in a lurch as the VMC had suspended the allotment of their homes due to pressure from religious groups and local residents.

Agency : New Delhi In a major relief to wheat farmers affected by unseasonal rains and hailstorms, the Centre today relaxed quality norms for wheat procurement in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and would ease the norms in other states after testing the grain samples. Unseasonal rains and hailstorms, being witnessed from February-end, have damaged rabi (wintersown) crops in about 113 lakh hectares of area in about 14 states. Total cultivable area in rabi season stands at 600 lakh hectares
and wheat is a major rabi crop. Announcing this decision, Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said: “The central government is sensitive about the loss and damage to crops due to unseasonal rains and hailstorms in various states. Hence, has relaxed wheat procurement norms on the basis of requests received from states”. Earlier this week, Congress President Sonia Gandhi wrote to Paswan seeking relaxation in specifications for procuring foodgrains. Paswan also said he has “received letters from Congress President Sonia
Gandhi and others demanding relaxation in moisture content also”. “As per norms prescribed under the Food Safety and Standards Act, we permit moisture content in the grain upto 14 per cent. Beyond this level, it is not fit for human consumption,” he added. Paswan said the quality norms related to ‘lustre lost grains’ and ‘shrivelled and broken grains’ have been relaxed in these three states where procurement has started, but the moisture content level in the grain has not been changed and kept at the permissible limit of up to 14 per cent.
