The devout, the daily labour and the students. Little did they know that they were boarding the bus to death when they left home on Tuesday morning.

The devout had visited the temple of Sri Anjaneya Swamy, the labour were in search of livelihood and the students were on their way to schools and colleges. The bus met with an accident a short while after they had boarded it. A pall of gloom descended on three of the seven villages abutting Kondagattu as news of the accident reached there. Many victims were from Sanivarampet, Dabbu Timmayyapalle and Himatraopet villages.

The bus driver was highly experienced and won an award. The passengers thought they were in the safe hands. But fate willed otherwise.

“It was a smooth journey though the bus was packed to the last inch. It happened all of a sudden. In a flash of a second the vehicle fell down from the ghat road,” said Anjan Kumar, a villager of Rekurthi, who was following the bus on his two-wheeler. “It was all over in no time,” he said in a choked voice.

The bus was coming down the ghat road, he said adding that it soon veered away from the path.

“I thought that the driver would apply brakes and gain control,” he said.

Those passing through the ghat road rushed to the spot and broke open glass panes. They also attempted to open the emergency exit door. It did not open.

Soon more villagers gathered and pulled out victims. The district administration arranged 20 ambulances. The ghat road is not guarded with a protective wall. Officials said the road would be fenced soon.

Govt can’t fix timeframe for governor, says Jayakumar

Chennai:12.09.2018

The government cannot fix a timeframe for governor Banwarilal Purohit to act on the resolution passed by the cabinet recommending release of the seven Rajiv Gandi case convicts, fisheries minister D Jayakumar said on Tuesday. The cabinet on Sunday resolved to remit the sentence of all seven convicts under Article 161 of the Constitution.

“He is a constitutional head of the state. The state government hopes the governor will respect the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu which has been reflected in the cabinet resolution,” he said. The Supreme Court while disposing last week the Centre’s petition challenging the decision of the state in 2014 to remit the sentences, put the onus on the governor to decide on the clemency plea of one convicts, A G Perarivalan, under Article 161.

On the Congress opposition to release of convicts, Jayakumar said the DMK, an ally of the Congress should exert pressure on the latter to reconsider its view. “Is DMK leader M K Stalin ready to urge the Congress to be in line with the state of Tamil Nadu on remitting the sentence? If he is not ready, then there is no need for him to be in the alliance. I would say it is opportunism,” the minister said. TNN

2 students held for using fake Paytm to dupe store of ₹30k

Chennai:12.09.2018

Police on Tuesday arrested two college students for cheating a supermarket owner in Thoraipakkam of ₹30,000 by claiming to have paid through Paytm while actually using a spoof app.

A court sent the arrested men — Kiran, a 20-year-old catering college student, and Stelly, a 22-year-old engineering student — to jail. Police registered a case against seven others for their involvement in the crime. Investigators are searching for them.

A police officer said the students, who always came in a group, had been buying eatables and packed goods for the past three months and paying through Paytm. They would show the screen saying ‘paid’ to Velraj, who owned the supermarket, and leave with the goods.

When Velraj recently verified his bank accounts, he found there was a shortage of ₹30,000 with regard to goods sold and money received. He questioned Kiran, who is from Bengaluru resident, and Stelly, fom Kerala, who said it would take some time for the money to be transferred from their accounts to his.

Not convinced, he again questioned them on their next visit and then informed the Thoraipakkam police. A team arrived at the spot and detained the two students at the police station.

During interrogation, the two men confessed to cheating the shop owner using a spoof Paytm app. “They said they used the same modus operandi to cheat a few other small shops in the locality. We are taking complaints from the owners of the shops where they made purchases for between ₹2,000 and ₹5,000,” the officer said.

“Velraj, the supermarket owner in Thoraipakkam, failed to check his account immediately after the purchases were made as he thought the money would be credited to his account after a delay and that he would receive an SMS later. Caught up in his hectic daily schedule, he forgot to check his account,” he said.

TN guv can’t release Rajiv convicts sans nod of Centre: MHA official

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi:12.09.2018

Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit will have to consult the Centre on the state government’s recommendation for release of seven people convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, a home ministry official said.

The official said since the case was investigated by the CBI-led multi-disciplinary monitoring agency (MDMA),

the governor had to forward the remission file relating to the seven convicts to the Centre for a view.

Section 435 of the Criminal Procedure Code requires state governments to act after consultation with the central government in cases investigated by the Delhi Special Police Establishment constituted under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, or by any other agency empowered to investigate an offence under any central Act.

“This is the correct legal position. The (remission) file will have to be routed through the Centre,” a senior home ministry officer told TOI on Tuesday.

RAJIV CASE

‘Centre unlikely to revise its earlier stand conveyed to SC’

The AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu had on Sunday recommended to the governor to release the convicts, a move hailed by most political parties in the state.

The CBI-led MDMA, probing the larger conspiracy behind the assassination, had told the Supreme Court a few months ago that the investigation in the case was “still open” and letters rogatory had been issued to different countries, including Sri Lanka, where some persons required to be investigated were residing.

The official said the Centre was unlikely to revise its earlier stand, conveyed to the SC in August, that releasing the seven convicts would set a wrong precedent as the terror act was directed at a former PM.

“The central government, in pursuance of Section 435 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, does not concur with the proposal of Tamil Nadu government contained in the communication letter dated March 2, 2016, for grant of further remission of sentence of these seven convicts,” the government had said in its reply to the apex court.

Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated at a poll rally on the night of May 21, 1991, at Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu by a woman suicide bomber.
