Centres Report Cited No Punishment of Rohith
Hyderabad: The police report on Rohith Vemula's suicide, issued by the Madhapur ACP and investigation officer, was based on a study of the suicide letter, forensic lab reports, caste certificates issued by the Guntur district collector, school certificates and the report of the MHRD ministry-appointed committee headed by Justice Ashok Kumar Rupanwal (retd). In page 2 of the Justice Rupanwal report, the committee felt that it appeared from the records that the punishment was challenged in the High Court and the matter was pending at the time of Vemula's death. Therefore, the punishment could not be the reason for the suicide. The university had removed him from the hostel for holding protests and for the alleged assault on ABVP students. In the final report, the investigation officer forwarded Vemulas original handwritten copy to the then Vice Chancellor on December 18, 2015, to forensic lab experts to compare with the suicide note written by the PhD scholar. P. Rajini, assistant director, FSL, Hyderabad, established that handwriting on the both letter the letters were by the same person. The investigation officer said that they had approached the Jalagam Rama Rao Memorial Municipal School in Guntur seeking records pertaining to Radhika, who pursued her schooling from 1981 to 1985. It was found in her school records that she belonged to the Vaddera community. On Friday, Justice E.V. Venu Gopal of the Telangana High Court closed a bunch of five quash proceedings related to the Rohith Vemula suicide issue. The array of accused, who had moved the court to quash the cases against them, included the then VC of University of Hyderabad Podile Appa Rao, N. Susheel Kumar, Krishna Chaianya Yellapragada, N. Diwakar, senior counsel N. Ramachander Rao and another. The judge took on file the report of the prosecution that the allegations against the accused were a case of lack of evidence.
Radhika Vemula Challenges Police Report on Sons Caste, Demands Fair Re-Investigation
Hyderabad: Radhika Vemula, the mother of the late scholar Rohith Vemula, challenged the Telangana polices closure report that concluded her son was not a Dalit and absolved BJP leaders and the university's former vice chancellor. How can my own child not be a Dalit when I am, Radhika Vemula said, questioning the flawed reasoning of the report. She countered the allegations in the police report concerning her son's academic commitment. They have spread false information about my son. Rohith came second when he was in Class 10. He also scored good marks, she asserted emotionally on Saturday evening. The Ambedkar Students' Association (ASA), representing backward communities at the university, also condemned the reports focus on Rohith Vemula's caste. An ASA spokesperson shared their reaction to the report speaking to DC saying, When we got the report into our hands, it was a great shock and disappointment to hear that it focused on denying Rohith's Dalit identity. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has expressed doubts regarding the report prepared by the previous government and has promised transparency and fairness in the re-investigation, Rohiths brother Raja Vemula said. The reports portrayal of Rohith Vemula as having violent tendencies, based solely on testimony from ABVP and BJP leaders, was particularly contentious, students said. This report has been fabricated with lies and mistruths. It is a shock for us, stated the ASA, rejecting the narrative shaped by the authorities. The university's progressive organisations have rallied for the withdrawal of the report and demanded action against the officers involved. The ongoing controversy surrounding the closure report has ignited significant unrest among students and social activists across the state and country who said the protests would only be intensified if damage control isn't done immediately.
The State Government is Bankrupt and Not in a Position to Pay Salaries: Etala
Hyderabad: The Congress government in the state was not in position to fulfill the promises made to the people during the Assembly elections, alleged BJP Malkajgiri candidate Etala Rajendar. The coffers are empty and the government is already in bankruptcy mode and is not in a position to pay staff salaries unless it gets Central funds, he alleged. Addressing colony welfare associations in Venkateshwara Colony in Quthbullapur, Rajendarsaid when the BJP was enthusiastic to get 400 seats, the Congress would not be able to win even 40. Congress leaders have been trying to blame former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for the empty coffers and were claiming that was the reason they were not able to fulfil the poll promises, he said. Revanth Reddy had promised to increase Rythu Bandhu to `15,000 for farmers, but he was not able to give even `10,000 per acre as the BRS government had done. Except for free travel for women in RTC buses, not a single promise had been honoured, he said. When this was the case, Congress leaders were trying to fool the people by saying that if Rahul Gandhi became Prime Minister, the promises will be fulfilled with Central funds, he said. The BJP was committed to developing an IT corridor and new railway stations in Malkajgiri limits. We are also interested in taking the Metro Rail till Kompally, he said. Taking part in the Perika community meeting in Nagole, Rajendar said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hails from a small Backward Class community. But, he made use of the chance he got to serve the nation and proved it with efficient administration. Stating that people often say that the money and caste factor plays a key role in politics, Rajendar said Modi had proved it wrong.

Hyderabad: A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court refused to grant interim relief to Aadeshwara Traders, who were told to close down their stone crushing unit at Vattinagulapalli. The panel of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar was hearing a writ plea filed by the firm questioning the April 27 proceedings of the environmental engineer of TS Pollution Control Board (TSPCB). It was the case of PCB that the petitioner was operating its unit without a certificate for establishment and certificate for operations. The property where the petitioner sought to carry out eco-friendly stone crushing was in the prohibited area of of Osmansagar lake covered by GO Ms. 111. The order could also refer to an earlier order imposing a fine of Rs 49.3 lakh on the petitioner. The amount was brought down to Rs 24.6 lakh by the NGT. HC for service continuity Justice Juvvadi Sridevi reiterated the settled principle of the service law that the disciplinary authority cannot impose the punishment, which is not stipulated or prescribed under rules or regulations. However, given the peculiar facts of the case, the court refused to set aside the order of the revisional authority since much time had lapsed. The court was of the considered view that instead of setting aside the order, the interest of justice would be met if continuity of service was granted to the petitioner. The court was dealing with a writ plea field by T. Ramulu challenging the action of TSRTC in disciplinary proceedings. Appointed driver in 1996, the petitioner was chargesheeted in 2009 for having caused an accident leading to the death of a pedestrian. Disciplinary proceedings led to his removal from the service. The revisional authority in 2010, while holding that the order of removal as well as rejection of appeal passed by the earlier authorities were proper and justified, took a lenient view on humanitarian grounds, set aside the orders of removal and directed his reinstatement on certain terms and conditions. The case of the petitioner was that the accident happened because the pedestrian suddenly coming on to the road to stop the bus without knowing that it is an Express Service and in the process, the pedestrian dashed in the middle of the bus and that there was no negligence on his part and inspite of the same, he was made responsible. Hence, he prayed to set aside the order of removal as well as the order of revisional authority to appoint him as a fresh driver. Pending the writ petition, the petitioner rejoined services by agreeing to the terms and conditions imposed but after 6 years filed the writ petition. Condoning the delay and without going into Justice Juvvadi Sridevi however held it is to be noted that while driving any vehicle on roads especially when handling a heavy vehicle like bus, the driver must be cautious and patient as there will always be a scope for the smaller vehicles, pedestrians or animals coming on to the roads for various reasons and they must handle the bus carefully to avoid any collusion with them. Coming to the defence of the petitioner that the accident was ostensibly caused by the sudden appearance of the pedestrian, it is to be seen that had he been cautious and at a low speed, he could have controlled the vehicle and avoided the accident, for which, they are trained. For his lack of anticipation, he cannot blame the pedestrian for the accident, as no pedestrian would want to die in such a manner. However, the judge modified the order of the revisional authority declaring that the out of service period from the date of removal to the date of reinstatement shall be treated as continuous service for all purposes and the petitioner is entitled for the difference in salary as per rules.
Danam holds padayatra in Khairatabad
Hyderabad: Congress Secunderabad candidate Danam Nagender conducted a padayatra in Nandinagar in the Khairatabad Assembly segment on Saturday in which local party leaders and workers and people in large numbers took part. Addressing street corner meetings, Nagender said that the people of Hyderabad had elected him legislator six times so far because he had always remained accessible to the people and tried to resolve all the issues that they brought to his notice. He slammed his rival G. Kishan Reddy, TS BJP president and Union minister, accusing him of being inaccessible to the people after getting elected as Secunderabad MP five years ago. Nagender said Kishan Reddy enjoyed power and position but the people who voted for him faced several hardships during the floods and the Covid pandemic and related lockdown. When people were suffering, Kishan Reddy was unavailable. He was busy in Delhi but was least bothered about his people in Secunderabad who elected him. During the city floods in 2020, Kishan Reddy failed to bring a single rupee for flood relief from the Modi government despite being Union minister and Secunderabad MP, Nagender alleged.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are reconciled to probably playing the rest of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 without young tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav. Even if there is a possibility of getting him back, it would be a huge test for the pacer, said LSG head coach Justin Langer ahead of their upcoming clash with Kolkata Knight Riders at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. Yadav had returned for the match against Mumbai Indians at the same venue on April 30 but pulled after bowling 3.1 overs, returning to the dugout as his injury flared up again. Langer said there were no updates on Mayank Yadav on Saturday but felt his injury was the usual one that young fast bowlers have to suffer early in their careers. No updates. He had a scan. He has got a small tear in a similar area where the last one was. So, it is very unfortunate. We saw the impact he had made, said Langer in the pre-match press conference on Saturday. He came back into the game, but we can also see there's been a lot of discussion about fast bowlers, and he spoke to (Jasprit) Bumrah after the game and he reassured him that he's going to be a fast bowler, said the former Australia coach. Part of his journey as a young fast bowler, he's going to get injuries, and in my experience every young fast bowler, probably until they get to 24-26, are going to experience different injuries and also most unfortunate is he's got huge potential, he added. Langer dispelled the notion that Yadav had made a pre-mature return against Mumbai Indians, which led to his injury aggravating. He did his rehabilitation, (it) was excellent. He went into the game, had a couple of balls before the game, he was completely pain-free, so I was very sad for him and it's disappointing for LSG as well, said the LSG coach. He said even if there are chances of Mayank Yadav returning to the squad, it would be a big test for him. Already might have to play the rest of the tournament without him. You can fly him, hopefully for the playoffs but it will be a real test as well. It would probably be difficult for him to get up for the backend of the tournament, said Langer. LSG are currently placed third in the third position with 12 points from 10 matches and is in a tight contest with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in the race for the playoff spots behind the top two -- Rajasthan Royals (16) and Kolkata Knight Riders (14).

Evidence Against Prajwal Revanna Withheld by Congress Government in Karnataka: Union Minister Sitharaman Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday claimed that the Congress government in Karnataka did not take action against JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, accused of sexually abusing women, for about a year despite being aware of the matter. The Congress was afraid that it might lose Vokkaliga votes and therefore stayed silent until the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections got over, she said, speaking at a meeting with select journalists here. ''The Union home minister (Amit Shah) has made it very clear that we will not tolerate the matters that go against women and on that we stand united. Though the (BJP's) alliance partner has this issue, we have made it clear that it was not acceptable, and let it be investigated,'' Sitharaman said, when asked if the scandal will have an impact on her party's performance in Karnataka in the ongoing elections. It was being claimed that a driver gave a pen drive (allegedly containing evidence of Revanna's acts) to the Congress party and state home minister but they were sitting on this evidence for about a year, and ''now the BJP is made to answer because the JD(S) is in alliance with us,'' she said. The ministers of the Congress government knew what was in the pen drive but they did not think that safety of women should be their priority, Sitharaman alleged. ''They thought the Vokkaliga votes might go from their hands and decided to remain silent till the time the first phase of Lok Sabha got over. Now they are making it a big issue and pushing it which is typical of Congress and it shows their hypocrisy,'' the BJP leader further said, asking why probe was delayed for one year. The Karnataka government was now writing to the prime minister about the case, asking him to issue look-out notices against Prajwal Revanna and bring him back from abroad, but the Union home minister had clearly said that the Karnataka government can take all the action it wants to take, she said. Asked about BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's son Karan Singh getting ticket from the party for Kaiserganj constituency in Uttar Pradesh, Sitharaman said the allegations against the MP had not been proved yet. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is accused of sexually harassing women wrestlers. ''Nothing is proven against Brij Bhushan....even if he is convicted, I would say you want to carry the blame to the son. Even convicted people's children have been entertained by so many parties,'' the Union minister said. The BJP was still confident after two phases of the Lok Sabha elections of winning 370 seats on its own and 400 seats along with its NDA allies, she said. Asked if the BJP was in defence mode and responding to the opposition's narrative instead of setting its own, Sitharaman said this was not the case. ''Our response to the Congress' manifesto is not defensive, nor is it negative, rather it is more offensive and substantive,'' she said, adding that the manifesto was more of a Muslim League document. Later, in an interaction with students at an event at Deccan College in the city, Sitharaman talked about the Rohith Vemula case where the Telangana police have filed a closure report before a local court stating that the University of Hyderabad student was not a Dalit, and he died by suicide in 2016 as he feared that his ''real caste'' would be discovered. The issue was dragged to the streets without allowing the university to handle it with sensitivity, the Union minister said. ''It was an unfortunate incident. It was dragged to the streets and a narrative was built that the government was suppressing (facts) and was against students and SCs. Today, the same people who dragged the unfortunate family of Vemula on the street, should stand up before the entire country and apologise for having politicised it,'' she said.

This is also their eighth defeat in 11 matches of this season so far, leaving MI in ninth position and more importantly, their playoffs chances are now hanging by a slim thread. Hardik has really struggled; he's looked like a man under pressure. That's created a little turmoil in the air, who knows how that's affected the people. But even the batting lineup, they look like they're confused. Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir were fighting in the middle order, Dhir was batting at three, and Hardik moving all over the place. They should have had Tilak at 3, Sky at 4, and Hardik batting at 5 throughout the season, with David at 6. Then, figure out your bowling units. All over and all around, they've been a very confused team this season and it's been hugely disappointing from one of the mega franchises of the IPL. A lot of people in the MI fanbase and camp will be very sore after this, said Smith to JioCinema. Apart from a leadership role, Hardik is enduring a horrid time in IPL 2024 with both bat and ball. With the bat, he has amassed only 198 runs, averaging just 19.8, while picking only eight wickets at an economy rate of 11. Shane Watson, the former Australia all-rounder, was left baffled over certain on-field decisions from the MI camp. To keep bowling Naman Dhir when it was so critical (KKR were at 57-5), it was a big mistake from the leadership of the Mumbai Indians, whether it was Hardik Pandya making the decisions or information coming from the sideline. Bumrah had bowled only one over at that stage, so (they needed to) get him in the game again to try and break the partnership of Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey, but they didn't. They just let them cruise and build momentum in the partnership. Before you know it, they hadn't played a shot in anger and that built the partnership to a point where it was too late when he came in. There were a lot of baffling decisions from the Mumbai Indians' leadership, which is going to be hard to explain, he said. Amidst all the gloom for MI, Suryakumar Yadav rose to be the bright light via his 35-ball 56. With Sky at the crease, you always believe you have a chance. He was head and shoulders above every other batter in the MI lineup, nobody looked at all comfortable with the conditions, the pressure, or with their games. Sky came right with excellent stroke play, the usual hitting the ball in awkward areas. He played spin well, he played seam well, front-end or back-foot. While he was there, the whole fanbase of MI thought they had a chance, concluded Smith. Mumbai Indians will next take on fourth-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
