DMX’s family shuts down fundraising rumours on his funeral – Times of India

Shutting down all rumours that have been doing the rounds claiming DMX's family is running campaigns to raise funds for his funeral, an official statement by the late star's members has been released that says it is completely bogus and not connected to them at all. A family member of the late star told an entertainment portal, "There has been a lot of unfounded rumours circulating after DMX's death last week, including a particularly absurd one -- namely, that his inner circle is raising money to help pay for his upcoming funeral." The family members have confirmed in a statement that they are not raising money, and they actually want the public to know any campaigns suggesting the contrary are completely bogus, and not connected to them at all.

No moral conviction in absence of legal evidence: Bombay HC | India News – Times of India

MUMBAI: "In the absence of legally admissible evidence there cannot be moral conviction," said the Bombay high court as it set aside a 2012 murder conviction and life sentence of three people, including a man whose wife had died due to asphyxiation from hanging. A bench of Justice Sadhana Jadhav and Justice N R Borkar recently ruled in a 2010 "cruelty to wife" case that there was evidence for conviction under section 498A of IPC. “In cases like the present one, just because the wife has died in her matrimonial house within two months of marriage, the entire family cannot be stigmatized as having committed offences as serious as (murder)," the HC said. It acquitted the family of all charges, including the ones under the Dowry Prohibition Act and dowry death. The victim, a postgraduate in...

NIA probes encounter angle in passport found at Sachin Waze house

A PASSPORT found by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) at the home of arrested Mumbai policeman Sachin Waze is one of the key pieces in the Antilia security scare puzzle that investigators are trying to solve. The Indian Express has learnt that one of the theories the agency is working on is that Waze, known as an “encounter specialist”, allegedly intended to eliminate the holder of that passport and another man. The plan, they suspect, was to pin the SUV containing the gelatin sticks that was found on February 25 outside Mukesh Ambani’s house on these two men, gun them down the same day, and claim to have “solved” the case. The two men had a criminal record and were known to Waze, officials familiar with the line of investigation said. The passport was found during a ...

Most non-official members in new MSME Board have BJP links

The newly announced 46-member Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Board, tasked to play an important role in policy review, has 26 official members and 20 representing a range of industry voices. Politics seems to dominate the choice of the latter — the list includes several BJP office-bearers, ex-party MLAs and members of RSS affiliate Laghu Udyog Bharati. According to Section 3 of the MSME Development Act Act — under which the Board is constituted by the Centre — these 20 members are meant to “represent the associations of micro, small and medium enterprises, including not less than three persons representing associations of women’s enterprises and not less than three persons representing associations of micro enterprises, to be appointed by the Central Government.” A scru...

‘Major’ announcement planned in student’s 1996 disappearance – Times of India

LOS ANGELES: A sheriff on California's Central Coast plans to make a major announcement Tuesday in the nearly 25-year mystery of the disappearance of college student Kristin Smart. San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson scheduled a news conference at 2pm at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where Smart was a student, to discuss "major developments in the investigation" into her disappearance. The news comes about a month after the sheriff named former student Paul Flores as the "prime suspect" in the case and investigators searched his father's home and property in the city of Arroyo Grande, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of the university, using ground-penetrating radar and cadaver dogs. Smart, 19, of Stockton, California, vanished in May 1996 whil...

Georgia lawmaker’s legal work targeted again over voting law – Times of India

WASHINGTON: Protesters are trying to get a Georgia state representative fired by cities and counties that pay him to be their attorney, citing his role in pushing through a voting law that adds restrictions. The Washington City Council voted 4-2 to ask Rep. Barry Fleming to resign Monday, WJBF-TV reports. It's not clear if the city can immediately fire the Republican from Harlem because Washington has a contract with Fleming's law firm. "We want to make sure that every vote counts and we want to make sure that every person is heard," said Wilkes County Democratic Party chair Kimberly Rainey, among protesters demanding Fleming's resignation. "These kinds of bills are voter suppression. There's no other way to say it and it hurts people that are disenfranchised already." Fleming earlier s...

Door for global vaccines opens but pricing strategy could be key to entry

THE Centre may have opened the regulatory door to a set of vaccines from overseas but how it works its pricing and procurement strategy could be key to their entry and rollout. For most nations, the vaccine rollout adheres to one simple maxim: countries that invested “at risk” before the products cleared regulatory scrutiny ended up extracting a better pricing deal from manufacturers in the end. So far, India, with the world’s biggest vaccine manufacturing base, seems to be the only exception. The NDA government is learnt to have negotiated the cost of Covishield — Serum Institute of India’s (SII) version of the AstraZeneca-University of Oxford vaccine — to Rs 150 plus GST, or around $2.02, per dose. This is lower than the $2.15 at which AZ is supplying to the European Unio...

US troops to exit Afghanistan by September 11, 20 years after 9/11 – Times of India

WASHINGTON: US troops will pack up fully from Afghanistan by September 11, 20 years after the world's biggest terrorist attack on 9/11. President Biden will make the announcement on Wednesday, bringing an end to the longest war the U.S was drawn into, surpassing the 19 years it was bogged down in Vietnam. The new timeline, which will go beyond the May 1 exit deadline that the Trump administration negotiated last year with the Taliban, will still leave the violence-wracked country open to depredations from Pakistan, which has long used it for "strategic depth" in its unending confrontation with India. The withdrawal is effectively a triumph for the Pakistani military, which has long nurtured Taliban and allied proxies and terrorists in its irregular warfare aimed at the west and India. T...

Biden proposes summit with Putin after Russia calls US ‘adversary’ over Ukraine – Times of India

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW: US President Joe Biden called on Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to reduce tensions stirred by a Russian military build-up on Ukraine's border and proposed a summit of the estranged leaders to tackle a raft of disputes. The White House and the Kremlin reported only the second conversation between the two since Biden took office in January, after Western officials urged Moscow to end the build-up and Russia, in words recalling the Cold War, said its "adversary" should keep U.S. warships well away from the Crimea region. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and fighting has increased in recent weeks in eastern Ukraine, where government forces have battled Russian-backed separatists in a seven-year conflict that Kyiv says has killed 14,000 people.
