David Headley's deposition, a first in judicial history

February 8, 2016

Mumbai, Feb 8: When Pakistani-American and Lashkar-e-Taiba agent David Coleman Headley deposes before a Mumbai court on Monday through video-conferencing in connection with the 26/11 terror attacks of Mumbai, it would be the first time in the judicial history of India that a man would give evidence on an act of terror from foreign soil.

David“This is very important in the judicial history of India,” special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said on the eve of deposition of Headley as an approver before Additional Sessions Judge G A Sanap, who presides over special cases related to terrorism including those charged under now repealed TADA. He was charged with 11 offences - but on December 10, he agreed to reveal details of the 26/11 terror attacks and he became a witness.

“Firstly, David Headley may give the broader aspect of the criminal conspiracy. Secondly, another important aspect of the evidence of David Headley would be that why the conspiracy was hatched, who were the persons behind the criminal conspiracy and how it progressed, he may also throw some light on the wanted accused in the case,” said Nikam.

It is to be seen what the 55-year-old Headley testifies about Jamaat-ud-Dawa founder Hafeez Saeed and Lashker-e-Taiba’s chief of operations Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the two chief conspirators of the 26/11 terror attacks and other wanted people like Major General Saab, Abu Hamja and Abu Kaafa.

Bhopal, June 7: In a shocking incident of medical cruelty, an 80-year-old man was tied to a hospital bed in Madhya Pradesh after he allegedly failed to make payment of fees for his treatment. The incident took place at the City Hospital in Shajapur.  

The hospital, however, claimed that he was having convulsions and as a result had his hands and legs tied so that he could not hurt himself.

The man’s family members have accused the hospital authorities of resorting to the heinous act after they failed to pay a fee of Rs 11,000 for his treatment at the. 

“We had deposited a bill of Rs 5,000 at the time of admission but when the treatment took a few more days, we did not have the money to pay the bill,” his daughter told the channel.

The hospital, however, maintained that the man was shackled because he was suffering from an electrolyte imbalance. “He was having convulsions because of electrolyte imbalance,” an unidentified doctor said. “We tied him so that he could not hurt himself.” 
The doctor claimed the hospital had waived off the man’s bill on “humanitarian grounds”.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took cognizance of the matter and promised strict action against the hospital authorities. 

The Shajapur administration has also ordered an inquiry and has sent a police team to the hospital for investigation, the district collector told media persons.

New Delhi, May 22: Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Friday extended the moratorium on payment of loans by another three months till August to provide much-needed relief to borrowers whose income has been hit due to the coronavirus crisis.

In March, the central bank had allowed a three-month moratorium on payment of all term loans due between March 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020.

Accordingly, the repayment schedule and all subsequent due dates, as also the tenor for such loans, were shifted across the board by three months.

As a result of this moratorium, individuals’ EMI repayments of loans taken were not deducted from their bank accounts, providing much-needed liquidity.

The EMI payments will restart only once the moratorium time period expires on August 31.
