January 15, 2014

Chennai, Jan 15: A youth from north Indian state of Bihar has reportedly been arrested in Chennai in connection with the sexual assault on an 18-year-old German tourist onboard Mangalore-Chennai express.

The incident which took last week, has come to light on Monday when the victim, who is currently in Tamil Nadu, filed a police complaint. Medical tests have been conducted on her and reports are awaited.

According to the police, the teen was attacked on a train headed from Mangalore to Chennai while she was asleep. She reportedly said later that she was too scared to shout for help and alert the other passengers sleeping in the same compartment.

The young woman had come to Chennai to volunteer with a non-profit organization.

Ms Seema Agarwal, Inspector General of Police, said "We have arrested the man in Chennai and have registered a case of rape. The young lady took several days to muster courage to report to the police. Though it's too late for medical examination, we have handled the case in a very sensitive manner".

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

News Network

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
