Mumbai: A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly beheading two tribal children at a village in Latehar district, the police said on Friday. The headless bodies of an 11-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were found buried under a pile of sand beside the accused’s house in Semarhat village on Thursday.

He was arrested. Army seizes huge cache of arms,ammunition of NSCN(IM) in Manipur

Court acquits 3 men in ‘attack’ on woman
Mumbai: “The proposition that a lady would not put her character at stake may not be wrong, but cannot be applied universally,” a Delhi court said while acquitting three men accused of assaulting a woman and tearing her clothes.The men were acquitted by Metropolitan Magistrate Neetu Nagar, who said, “In the present case, the testimony of the complainant could not inspire much confidence. Hence, taking into consideration the difference in the date of the MLC (medico legal case), as well as other contradictions and improvement of prosecution witnesses as discussed, a doubt has crept in the story of the prosecution.

Twelve years ago, he bought an apartment in an all-new complex in Maradu, part of the Kochi urban conglomeration, and moved in with his family. This was where he would spend the rest of his life.

No, physical violence is not a sign of love In a country where 52% of women believe it is okay to be beaten by their husbands, the views of Sandeep Reddy Vanga, director Kabir Singh, apparently endorsing physical violence as a sign of love, are deeply disturbing.“When you are deeply in love … if you don’t have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don’t see anything there,” Vanga told Anupama Chopra in an interview.I am not sure the one in three married women who have experienced physical violence – slapping, choking, punching and burning -- by their husbands, according to the National Family Health Survey 4, would agree. In the first 10 years since the Domestic Violence Act came into force in 2006, over 10 lakh cases of domestic violence have been registered. And, yet, domestic violence remains vastly underreported primarily because of the victim’s relationship with a husband or a partner.Mainstream Hindi cinema has not been known for its affirmative messages of women’s empowerment. A 2017 study on gender stereotyping by Nishtha Madaan and others shows that the percentage of female-centric films has gone up only marginally since the 1970s and remains in the low teens. Certainly, Kabir Singh’s female lead played by Kiara Advani is no more vacuous than the character played by Sonakshi Sinha who says in Dabangg: “Thappad se darr nahin lagta saab, pyaar se lagta hai.” (I’m not scared of your slap, but of your love). Those in the film business often argue for the need to separate art from the artist. With his interview, Vanga breaks this barrier. Kabir Singh is not formulaic cinema made for the box office but a belief, as expressed in his interview: True love includes the right to violence. In the film we see this violence, not just by the lead actors but also by the heroine’s father and adolescent brother. It’s a violence that is reflected in social reality. The daughter of a BJP MLA, Rajesh Mishra, makes a video asking her father to call off his goons who have been harassing the man she has recently married. Adolescent girls, finds IndiaSpend, are lured into trafficking by boyfriends who profess to love them and convince them to ‘elope’. And in Ahmedabad district, a Dalit man is hacked to death by his upper caste in-laws when he goes to pick up his wife who is two months pregnant.There is a global struggle to eliminate violence against women -- not easy in a society that has internalised, even normalised, it. “Showing how pervasive gender-based violence is, runs the risk of normalising it,” states the Economic Survey 2018-19 that calls for a gender campaign that uses positive role models. Vanga has a right to his creative license but to justify this nonsense as ‘true love’ is dangerous. Mercifully, not everyone is buying his message. I watched on the big screen as my co-watcher, a woman scientist in her 30s, remarked: “Kabir Singh is a psycho. The heroine should run away from him as fast as she can.”

IndusInd Bank investors ignore improved profitability
New Delhi: A 38% surge in June quarter net profit on the back of 34% rise in core income should have been enough to cheer investors of IndusInd bank. But looks like its investors don’t want to leave the lender off the hook yet for its disastrous numbers in the March quarter.Ergo, the stock’s reaction on Friday to the improved profitability metrics reported by the bank was contrary as it ended nearly 2% lower.It should be noted that both net profit and total income include that of
micro-finance lender Bharat Financial Ltd, which got merged with the bank. IndusInd Bank said the results aren't comparable as a result. Excluding the micro lender’s net profit of 213.02 crore, IndusInd Bank’s profit growth was 18% year-on-year.So the bank had help from the merger on profitability and clearly its efficiency has increased. The outlook on its deposits is sanguine given the potential of raising deposits albeit small from the microfinance company’s borrower base.

oldest finalist here since Ken Rosewall in 1974, and a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon title in Sunday’s showpiece. After edging a tense first set by taking the last five points of the tiebreak, Federer was overpowered in a 36-minute second set as Nadal, reviving memories of his memorable 2008 final triumph over the

New Delhi: Despite crashing out of the World Cup following an 18-run loss to New Zealand in the semi-final, Team India’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma still remains the leading run-scorer of the tournament. With five tons and one halfcentury, the Indian opener amassed 648 runs in nine innings. David Warner, who was closest in contention to surpass this, failed to make an impact in the semifinal between Australia and England on Thursday and remained in second position, scoring one less than the Indian opener. Now with defending champions
Australia already out of the tournament, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson and England’s middle-order batsman Joe Root are the only two remaining batsmen who could edge past Rohit. While Root is in the fourth position with 549 runs in 10 innings, Williamson is a run behind him. Both New Zealand and England will lock horns in the final at Lords on Sunday. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who had a splendid outing in England, is the third batsman on that list with 606 runs in eight innings, which included two centuries and five halfcenturies.

CoC moves apex court against NCLAT order on Essar Steel
New Delhi: The State Bank of India-led committee of creditors (CoC) of the debt-laden Essar Steel on F ri d ay ap p ro a c h e d t h e Supreme Court, challenging l a s t w e e k ’s N a t i o n a l Company Law Appellate
Tribunal (NCLAT) order that reduced its share of the sale proceeds from 90 per cent to 60 per cent, apart from putting the operational creditors at par with financial creditors in terms of settlement of claims.The
CoC said that this decision would discourage banks from initiating insolvency proceedings against any defaulting company. This decision means that the financial creditors would have to take a bigger loss
on their outstanding dues and this is not in public interest, it added.While approving ArcelorMittal’s Rs 42,000-crore offer for Essar Steel, the appellate tribunal had on last Thursday modified a resolution plan
cleared by the CoC, holding that the secured creditors including SBI, IDBI Bank and Canara Bank will get Rs 30,030 crore, or 60.7 per cent of their Rs 45,559 crore claims, and the rest will go to operational creditors.
