Fake degree case
Court extends Tomar’s custody after cops say all documents fabricated
Police custody of Tomar extended by two days “Every document produced by him (Tomar) is fabricated and it needs to be probed who are the people in connivance with Tomar in procuring these documents,” police told the court. Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Former Delhi law minister Jitender Singh Tomar will remain in police custody for two more days, a local court in Delhi said on Saturday evening. The controversy over the alleged fake degree of Tomar fails to end with the police now saying that not just his undergraduate degree, but even the RTI query on his degree is fake. According
to police sources, the former Delhi law minister was taken to four places, including Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh, to verify his B Sc degree from Awadh University.Sources said that the Awadh University had confirmed that Tomar was never enrolled with them for the B Sc programme. Moreover, the RTI copy on his qualification was fake as no plea was ever filed or answered
by the University. Regarding his law degree from the Vishwanath Singh Institute of Legal Studies in Munger in Bihar, police sources said that though Tomar’s name exists in college records, some records were missing or deliberately destroyed. The college had claimed that some records were destroyed due to termite infestation. The register at the college is the only evidence of Tomar’s
degree as there’s no marksheet of the law degree. The investigators are now likely to summon university officials from Bihar to verify the degree. The police probe is now centred around how a fake degree was used to get enrolment in the college. Earlier, the law college in Munger, where Tomar was taken by the Delhi Police for confirmation of his law degree, has said that the former
US government likely to grant a 6 year visa to Indian students Agency | New Delhi
The US government’s new move towards development of education has given thousand of Indian students, a reason to rejoice. The proposal came in wake of native-born US workers fuming about being displaced by guest workers from India at Disneyland. Following the fracas and in support of them, tens of thousands of international students from India will now be allowed to stay in the US for upto six years after they complete their graduation. The new reg-
ulations proposed by the administration and submitted before the Senate Judiciary Committee states that students with STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math ) degrees will be allowed to operate under the Optional Training Programme, in order to stay post completion of undergraduate degree. The US Labor Department was persuaded by the anti-outsourcing department to run an investigation into two India-based firms: Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to check
whether the rules for visas for foreign technology had been violated. While the anti-outsourcing department was trying to bring down the number of international workers from India, the team at Disneyworld is said to have laid off hun-
Navy Ship Picks Up Intermittent Beacon Signals, Likely From Missing Dornier Aircraft
Agency | New Delhi A Navy ship has picked up beacon signals from what is likely to be from the Dornier aircraft that went missing off the coast of Chennai on Monday with three crew members on board. INS Sandhyak picked up the signals south of Puducherry, between Port Novo and Karaikal, close to where the Coast Guard’s aircraft is said to have disappeared. “INS Sandhyak undertaking sub-surface search, detected intermittent transmission of 37.5 Khz, likely to be from the Sonar Locator Beacon (SLB) of the missing aircraft,” a statement from the Defence Ministry said
today. It also said that “a multi coloured sheen of oil in concentric circles was sighted which indicated oozing of oil,” adding that the “sample of oil has been sent to the laboratory for analysis. Earlier on Thursday, test reports had found no trace of aviation fuel in water samples from a suspected oil spill in the sea. The Dornier that took off from Chennai on Monday evening on a routine surveillance flight was last tracked 16 kilometres east off Chidambaram coast by radar in Trichy at 9:23 pm. The aircraft was being flown by Deputy Commandant Vidyasagar and had on board Dep-
uty Commandant MK Soni, the co-pilot, and Navigator Deputy Commandant Subash Suresh. A fleet of 10 ships have been deployed, including INS Sindhudhwaj which will join the search operations to trace the missing aircraft today. The Coast Guard has roped in experienced divers, scientists and microbiologists as part of efforts to locate the Dornier. A research vessel of the National Institute of Ocean Technology is heading to the region to assist in the search. The department has also sought the assistance of the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services.

The government has also put forward a proposal to retain more of the highskilled labour force in the country where there are not enough workers under the STEM category. This would give them as much work time in the US as foreign guest workers get under the H1-B program.
Delhi law minister did pass the law examination from the institute. Things are not very comfortable for Tomar in his party as
well, with the Aam Aadmi Party categorically saying that it will not offer any legal aid to the former law minister. Sources have told
CNN-IBN that the party is also mulling expulsion of the disgraced leader. On Friday, the Aam Aadmi Party had, in damage control mode, announced a probe by party’s internal Lokpal into Tomar’s fake degree row.Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh had conceded that the controversy over Tomar’s degree has raised questions in the minds of people and they need to be answered.

After Nestle’s Maggi noodles were found hazardous to health and banned, the Gujarat Food and Drug Control Administration (FDCA) has decided to broaden its crackdown over contaminated food sold under various brands. The move will bring a number of Indian and foreign brands under the scanner.

A “new template” for India’s response to “terrorism”
A “new template” for India’s response to “terrorism”, we are being told, has been established by the “unprecedented” cross-border operation against two rebel camps in Myanmar. There has been a great deal of atavistic chest-thumping by the present regime and its camp followers. Prefacing his remarks with some psychobabble about the importance of changing “mindsets”, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar declared: “A simple action against insurgents has changed the mindset of the full security scenario in the country… Those who fear India’s new posture have started reacting.” It is useful to put these vaunting assessments into some perspective. It is an utter misconception that this is the first cross-border operation by Indian forces. There have been many such operations in different theatres in the past, but these were executed covertly, maintaining full deniability, which is the best, indeed the only, sustainable template for such action. The only “unprecedented” element in the present case is the unseemly tamasha in its wake. This was a relatively minor operation and will have only transient tactical and psychological significance. An operational success has been imposed and the rebels, who have till now had almost undisturbed sanctuary in Myanmar, will lose their sense of impunity. Over time, however, they will adapt and draw deeper into the jungles and take fuller precautions against discovery and neutralisation, unless the present operation is followed up by a more sustained and enveloping campaign. A joint operation with Myanmarese forces would likely secure the best results, and this would require enormous diplomatic effort on the part of New Delhi even in normal circumstances. Myanmarese authorities have cooperated with India in the past but have been relatively reluctant to do so in recent years because of India’s perceived policy ambivalence towards the regime in Naypyidaw. Reassuring the Myanmar regime and securing its cooperation to end militant safe havens on its soil could shut down the last sanctuary for India’s Northeastern rebels — they have already been pushed out of Bhutan and Bangladesh. Unfortunately, the media circus over the present operation will significantly dampen Myanmar’s enthusiasm for partnering with India in such a campaign. Embarrassed by India’s boastful declarations and by Pakistan’s equally crass retaliatory claims that it was “not Myanmar”, Naypyidaw has already denied that the operation occurred on its soil or with its consent. Before going to town about the operation, Delhi should have understood that no state can admit to another country’s armed forces operating on its soil. Even when Bhutan expelled the Northeastern insurgent groups with full Indian support, the official line was that the “joint operation” involved troops from each country operating in tandem, each on their own soil.

Shraddha Kapoor: The only people I open up to are my family and close friends! Agency | New Delhi
Shraddha Kapoor is known for portraying outgoing and expressive characters on-screen but the actress says in real life she is a reserved person. The 26-year-old actress made lukewarm debut with Amitabh Bachchan starrer Teen Patti in 2010 but she got fame two years back with her stint as a budding singer in Aashiqui 2, opposite rumoured boyfriend Aditya Roy Kapur. Shraddha, however, feels fame has not changed her reserved self much and she becomes a bundle of nerves whenever she is in public eye. “I am a shy person in real life. I am not very social person. The only people I open up to are my family and close friends. Over the years, I have become more vocal but at the core I am a reserved girl. Many a times I think that I should change myself and become more expressive. People keep telling me to be a certain
way as I am an actor but if I don’t have anything to say I can’t… I come out as a shy, nervous person and a little out of place b e cause I need time a n d m y
space to bec o m e comfortable with someone,” Shraddha said. The Ek Villain star feels lucky that all those people in the industry whom she wanted
to go up to and speak to, recognise her because of her work. The finest example of this is her re-
cent meeting with Bachchan. ”I am much m o r e c o m fortable around Mr Bachchan now. We met at Piku’s success bash and he met me so warmly.

Days after Salman Khan walked out of Shuddhi, his close friend Sanjay Dutt has, reportedly, opted out of Karan Johar’s magnum opus, in which he was supposed to play a negative role. According to a report published in Mumbai Mirror, Sanjay didn’t want to do a negative role immediately after coming out of jail. “He will start with OMG-Oh My God! director Umesh Shukla’s film in which he plays a hero,” says the report. Karan Johar, however, has denied the story and said, “The role of the antagonist in Shuddhi is by far one of the best written anatagonist roles. We have never offered the role to Sanjay.

Review: Jurassic World has undeniably sloppy charm - and it’s a roaring, stomping triumph Agency | New Delhi Agency | Mumbai The response to the trailer of ‘Brothers’, which has received over a million YouTube views within a day of its release, has left filmmaker Karan Johar feeling overwhelmed. The 43-year-old filmmaker took to micro-blogging website to thank people for viewing the trailer, which shows the “deadlier” side of Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra
as brothers. “Super fast 1 million views! Thank you for all the love.....@ karanmalhotra21 ‘s labour of love @akshaykumar @S1dharthM,” Karan tweeted on Wednesday. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the film, which also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Jackie Shroff, is an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film “Warriors”. “Brothers” is slated to release on August 14.

The original Jurassic Park fired the starting pistol on a new kind of tent-pole. Spielberg’s shlock opus had moments of humanity – or, at least, of weapons grade gooeyness – but was in the main a carnival of prehistoric bombast, a celebration of spectacle for spectacle’s sake. Ruthlessly appropriating the tone and structure of its predecessor, Jurassic World is similarly loud and busy, though not quite loud and busy enough to distract
from a surprisingly meagre dinosaur count. Indeed, anyone gorging on the deluge of trailers and outtakes flooding the internet in the past six months will already be au fait with a majority of the beasties, once again running amok in a malfunctioning Central American theme park that doubles for a metaphor for self-destructive corporate hubris. There’s a T-Rex, an aquatic Mosasaur, endless ‘Raptors (yawn) and, most underwhelmingly, genetically modified Uber-sau-
rus Indominus rex. The last has been trumpeted as the ultimate scary dino – a jaw-dropping labora-
tory splicing of T-Rex and several mystery predators (you can guess where it gets its high IQ from).
Kajol and Shah Rukh were last seen onscreen in Karan Johar’s “My Name is Khan”. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has shared a photograph with actor Kajol and director Rohit Shetty from the sets of his upcoming film “Dilwale”. ”Battery died on trimmer so part of Raees still on face. Happy to c lil Hrithiks with their dad on way for a holiday,” SRK tweeted on Friday. The 49-year-old actor, who is in Bulgaria to shoot for “Dilwale”, took to micro-blogging website Twitter to share the photograph on Saturday. In the photograph shared, Shah Rukh is seen in a clean-shaven look while Kajol donned a black and white skirt with black top. The director sported a blue
shirt with a pair of jeans. And not to forget, Kajol looks really very pretty in a cute black attire and way too thinner in the picture. Shah Rukh on Friday, shared a photograph of himself sporting a bushy moustache. The superstar has recently wrapped the first schedule of “Raees” which also stars Farhan Akhtar, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and debutant actor Mahirah Khan Askari. The hit pair of Kajol and Shah Rukh were last seen onscreen in Karan Johar’s “My Name is Khan” in 2010. In the past, they delivered hits like “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” and “Baazigar” among others. “Dilwale” also stars actors Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

For World League semis, Indian hockey team looks to fill gaps in defence India will be seen clashing against France in their opening match of the tournament.
Agency | Kolkata Reliance Jio Infocomm’s plans to launch 4G services in December has given incumbents such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular enough time to deploy their own high-speed broadband airwaves to unleash aggressive data plans and take on the Mukesh Ambani-owned adversary. Industry insiders and analysts also say Reliance Jio’s rollout is fraught with challenges, given that voice offerings on the 4G-LTE technology platform, using the 2,300MHz band of airwaves, is yet to develop globally. Voice currently still makes up over 80% of industry revenue. “We don’t see much of an impact of Jio’s December rollout, given that this is going to be phased and
a pan-India presence is quite some time away,” said a chief executive of a leading telco, who did not wish to be named. “Jio’s scattered spectrum holdings across multiple bands, would pose challenges for seamless delivery of high-speed data services on-the-go”. He said voice over LTE (VoLTE) had “security and delivery issues, which they (read: Jio) would have to contend with”. At its annual shareholders’ meeting Friday, Jio Chairman Mukesh Ambani said the company is in the throes of pre-launch testing and standardization drill of its digital broadband network that is equipped to handle both data and voice using ‘long term evolution’ or LTE — a technology standard for offering high-speed 4G services.

The Windies lost three wickets within the first 12 overs of their reply, only Jermaine Blackwood (51) passing 30. Smith, who resumed on 135 with his team on 258-4, is only the
eighth batsman in Test history to be dismissed for 199 and the first since England’s Ian Bell in 2008. The 26-year-old hit the first two balls of the afternoon session for four and appeared set to become only the third Australian, after Neil Harvey and Steve Waugh, to make a double century at Sabina Park when he was lbw and the ninth wicket to fall. Having struck three times before tea, Australia claimed their fifth wicket of the evening session with final ball of the day.

He follows a fantastic personality in Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a truly great leader of men,” Boycott said. “So Kohli will be compared to Dhoni, and Kohli has to in my opinion, an advice for him, in each passion and emotion he has, but he has to try not to let that passion and emotion boil over.

and also that the captain was not chosen by the selectors, but by ‘someone else’. “My question is, you have a selection committee those who think what is best for Indian cricket then why they are not given a free hand,” Amarnath said. Venkat also claimed that team spirit had hit rock bottom in Australia as a result of the losses and that Amarnath and Hirwani, who were in Australia with
the team, came back and reported that there were multiple factions in the side at this point. The selector’s solution was to appoint Virat Kohli, who had made his Test debut earlier that year, as captain “We wanted someone who could restore unity in the team,” Venkat said. “We had unanimously decided to bring in a new captain. We believed Dhoni’s time was up and Virat should take over,”
