Sent to 3-day police custody on charges of sedition
JNU students, union president arrested Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi
February 13, 2016, Saturday
JNU students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar, arrested in a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy for holding an anti-national event inside the university premises, was on Friday remanded to three-day police custody by a Delhi court. Kanhaiya was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen where the police sought his custodial interrogation for five days to ascertain the alleged links of the accused persons, including those who
are allegedly absconding, with terrorist groups. The police told the court that Kanhaiya was also required to be interrogated for the purpose of identification of other accused who were seen shouting “anti-national” slogans during the event organised in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Campus on February 9. The police also placed on record a CD of the event which the judge played inside the court room on a computer. Kanhaiya told the court that he was neither shout-

After the CD was played inside the court room, the judge asked Kanhaiya about the identity of the persons who were seen shouting slogans in favour of Parliament attack case convict Afzal Guru, who was hanged after being awarded death penalty by the court, and Pakistan. Responding to the court’s query, the accused said he did not know all of them as they were outsiders but he can identify all the students who are from JNU.
Snapdeal executive Dipti Sarna’s Outrage over Pachauri grows, abduction: How 36-hour nightmare ended Agency | Ghaziabad auto was forced to get off at knifepoint by the four 24-year-old Snapdeal TERI council to meet today Aemployee men in the vehicle, at a who went Agency | New Delhi
The governing Council of TERI will meet again on Friday to “revisit decisions” taken earlier this week amidst outrage over its move to appoint R K Pachauri as the Executive Vice Chairman of the think tank. According to sources, the mounting criticism could force a rethink as some Council members are keen on controlling damage caused to TERI’s image. The decision to hold yet another meeting of TERI’s highest decision-making body was taken as Pachauri proceed-
ed on leave from TERI University on Thursday after a group of students refused to accept degrees awarded by him at the convocation ceremony scheduled on March 7. Pachauri, who is the Chancellor of University supported by TERI, is accused of
sexually harassing a junior colleague, who later quit the think tank last year. He is currently out on bail. The university’s acting vice chancellor (VC) Rajiv Seth said that Pachauri communicated his decision to go on leave on Thursday morning.

The men then drove the auto to a secluded area in Raj Nagar extension. As pressure mounted on the abductors with multiple police search teams and intense media coverage, the men didn’t take the risk of stopping at a hideout for the night.

What Zuckerberg can learn from Google about wooing India
Mark Zuckerberg is like a head of state. Facebook, the company he founded and heads has 1.6 billion users across the planet. If it was a nation, it would be more populous than China. His estimated wealth is around $45 billion. That’s more than Rs 300,000 crore. So it makes real news when he gets snubbed by the Indian telecom regulator when he is trying for the next 500 million users and possible wealth to match. But it takes grace to accept defeat and carry on--as he seems to have done. Perhaps the Harvard geek deserves a second chance. For Indians, it is not yet time to unfriend Zuckerberg. After the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) struck down differential pricing of Internet tariffs--and in effect, Facebook’s Free Basics initiative to offer a stripped-down version of the Net to digitally unconnected--FB’s board member Mark Andreessen raised the ghost of colonialism in a sarcastic tweet on TRAI that left many Indians convinced that the regulator was anything but wrong. As the venture capitalist hastily apologised and retreated Zuckerberg was quick to douse the fires. “I want to respond to Marc Andreessen’s comments about India yesterday. I found the comments deeply upsetting, and they do not represent the way Facebook or I think at all,” the 31-year-old said in a post that attracted 141,000 ‘likes’ on the last count from among 49 million followers. “India has been personally important to me and Facebook. Early on in my thinking about our mission, I traveled to India and was inspired by the humanity, spirit and values of the people,” he said. “As our community in India has grown, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the need to understand India’s history and culture. I’ve been inspired by how much progress India has made in building a strong nation and the largest democracy in the world, and I look forward to strengthening my connection to the country.” Mark Z, unlike Marc A, sounds humble. The cynic may wonder if the venture capitalist on the board of Facebook was trying to play bad cop to Zuckerberg’s good cop but there is plenty in the CEO’s words to suggest that he may match up to his words. That can be done only through initiatives that go beyond normal commercial activity. It is tempting to compare Facebook’s activities in India with those of Google with whom it competes for advertising dollars globally in the digital age. Google has begun offering free wi-fi in Indian railway stations, leads the pack in boosting local languages and has dabbled in education initiatives linked to India. Google’s Doodle routinely celebrates Indian festivals and historic figures.

Deadpool review: Like Ryan Reynolds, this movie is a gift from God
Agency | New Delhi So you’re here to read a Deadpool movie review, yes? Well, you must be here to read a Deadpool movie review because unless you’ve lost your way and found yourself falling down one of those online rabbit holes, why else would you end up at this forgotten (and smelly) netherworld of the Internet called hindustantimes.com, am I right? Ok, now before some purposely starved hounds bite me to death mid-sentence let me be very, very clear that I was
just joking. I got carried away, all right? I blame this movie and all those poor fourth walls it broke so gleefully. It may have rubbed off a teensy-weensy bit. But that’s the kind of movie Deadpool is. And that’s the kind of review this is going to be. So now that we’ve established that you, dear reader, are not here by mistake let’s get this review going. Oh, and by the way, I’m still not entirely convinced that you came here on purpose, but if you did, then you deserve first class treatment and a
Agency | Mumbai It appears that chaos theory is quite in vogue, this season. A couple of weeks ago, the Telugu film, Nannaku Prematho, had its protagonist referring to it by its more popular term, butterfly effect. And then, there’s this week’s Vil Ambu which begins by saying that our lives are often decided by the seemingly insignificant actions of those around us. And then, there’s Jil Jung Juk in which Naanjil Sivaji, or Jil (Siddharth), sets events roll-
ing by talking about a movie he watched—The Butterfly Effect—and in trying to exaggeratedly flap his hands like a butterfly, somehow manages to interfere with his car’s driver, Jaguar Jagan, or Juk (Sananth Kumar) so much that he drives the car off the highway. Later, the theory also, not quite to my taste, gets interpreted literally when an actual butterfly sets loose a chain of events that save Jil, Juk, and Jungulingam or Jung (Avinash) from being shot down by a man named.

In Sanam Re, director Divya Khosla Kumar redefines the ‘art’ of going around in circles and returning to the same point after every 15 minutes or thereabouts. Never has a two-hour film felt as long as this story of a small-town boy Akash (Pulkit Samrat) whose
hitched to a girl who lives down the lane, 500 steps, to be precise, away from his home. He counts those steps a number of times in the course of the film, as he finds the girl - Shruti (Yami Gautam) - loses her, regains her and loses her again, by which point the audience is scarcely interested in the fate of this dead-end relationship. But that isn’t the only illogicality that the film wallows in. The town that Akash and Shruti belong to is a place where winter never ends and the bright blue river that flows near it never freezes. It always snows in Tanakpur, where Akash’s grandpa (Rishi Kapoor) owns a photo studio called Johnson & Johnson that he hopes to pass on to the young man.

Fitoor movie review: Katrina Kaif’s film spares no one, not Kashmir, not Delhi
Agency | New Delhi ‘Inspiration’ Charles Dickens is just the first casualty. Fitoor spares no one, not Kashmir, not Delhi, not London, not Kashmiris, and not even poor Pakistan, which somehow finds its way into this tale essentially about love traversing social divides. Meanwhile, having decided that in a film where all of Aditya Roy Kapoor’s hair is bunched upon his head and all of Katrina’s is plunged in a Chinar-esque red, in the hope perhaps
that you don’t notice their blank faces below, Tabu takes it upon herself to act for the entire film. Her overladen, overdressed, overwrought Begum has done a hop, skip and jump (should that even be possible) from Haider and Vishal Bhardwaj to Fitoor and Abhishek Kapoor. There is a Ms Havisham in there but you have to search for it past all this, the flowing hair again and those ornate clothes (whatever happened to the sole wedding dress of
Ms Havisham?). So, once upon a time there was a boy, here called Noor (Aditya Roy Kapoor), who lived in this innocent place called Srinagar (shot beautifully) where fierce militants with wounds (Ajay Devgn, hard to decipher, but something about Army does get mentioned) accosted children like him in the middle of the night and demanded help. Noor doesn’t think twice which, as we know from Great Expectations, sets one chapter in his life.

Agency | Mumbai Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, the largest Indian drug maker by market value, has recorded a growth of 258% in consolidated net profit for the December quarter (Q3), the company said in a statement. Net profit for the quarter stood at Rs.1,417 crore, as against Rs.395 crore in the same quarter last year. Total income for the quarter increased by 6.4% to Rs.7,301 crore from Rs.6,859 crore in the comparable quarter last year. Sun Pharma had posted a 46% dip in its consolidated net profit to Rs.1,106.66 crore for the second quarter ended 30 September on account of lower sales, volatile currency movements and supply constraints.

He won the race by being merely a second ahead of Indrajith Cooray of Sri Lanka who has also qualified for Rio Games. The men’s race had a dramatic ending and there was apparently some confusion over the finishing line inside the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium. “Both Rawat and Cooray were not sure of the finishing line and they thought they would finish after running a lap inside the stadium. That was why there was a difference of just one second in the timings of gold and silver winner,” a technical committee member said.

Craig topscored with 41 not out but the pitch appeared to have lost much of its bite by the end of New Zealand’s innings, which lasted 48 overs. Tim Southee, however, managed to get rid of both Joe Burns (0) and David Warner (5) to leave the visitors 5-2 in the third over and with the sell-out crowd in full voice. Southee and Boult kept up the pressure on Smith and Khawaja but when they scored 37 runs, from nine fours and
a single, in 16 deliveries, the shackles were broken and crowd silenced. That period of play included Smith being dropped by Craig at second slip off Bracewell but that was the only realistic chance they gave until BJ Watling missed a stumping of Khawaja in the 25th over. Smith was eventually dismissed about 20 minutes before stumps when he hit the ball back to Craig to end the 126run partnership. The crowd began the day celebrating McCullum’s milestone as he became just the third New Zealander to earn 100 Test caps and the first man in world cricket to achieve them in succession from debut.

Agency | New Delhi Domestic passenger car sales fell for the first time in 15 months after logging a marginally dip to 1,68,303 units in January as against 1,69,527 units in the year-ago period. Motorcycle sales last month, however, increased marginally to 8,72,325 units from 8,68,505 units a year earlier, according to data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). Total two-wheeler sales in January rose 2.63 per cent to 13,62,881 units. Sales of commercial vehicles rose 17.53 per cent to 61,683 units in January, SIAM said. Vehicle sales across categories registered an increase of 3.03 per cent to 17,00,257 units from 16,50,227 units in January 2015, it added. Rising for a 14th straight month, car sales in the country surged by 12.87 per cent in December as customers were induced by the auto industry into buying new vehicles by offering record discounts.

Agency | Dubai Viv Richards has thrown his considerable support behind the West Indies squad who are locked in a bitter pay dispute which is threatening their participation in the World Twenty20. The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) could be forced to send a second string to the prestigious tournament in India next month if the 15-man squad refuse to sign contracts before Sunday’s deadline. “In these modern times individuals
know exactly what is their worth and when you have a tournament with Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy, all these are great Twenty20 players,” Richards said. Sammy, the captain of the team and the man who led the West Indies to the 2012 World Twenty20 title, earlier this week wrote to the WICB asking them to reconsider what he described as an 80 per cent pay cut in players’ fees for the tournament. It is the latest in a
series of disputes between the players and the WICB in October 2014, the team abandoned their tour of India in another row over money. Richards said that players should be given contracts much more in advance. “What I believe is that sometimes the problem is that the board gives contracts too late and may be that doesn’t give the players time to digest what is good and what is not good and they ask them to sign that immediately,” he claimed.
