Kochi, Jul 5: Supporters of Kerala-based People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bengaluru blasts case, staged a protest at the Cochin International Airport after his arrival was delayed.

Madani, lodged in a Bengaluru prison in connection with the blasts that left one person dead and injured 20 others, has been granted bail to visit his ailing mother in Kollam district and he was to take an IndiGo flight on Monday morning in Bengaluru.

Authorities here said according to their information, the airline refused permission to Madani to board its flight after it was found that necessary requirements for carrying a prisoner escorted by the police were not fulfilled.

According to the police, around 500 supporters gathered outside the terminal here to receive him. A section of them turned agitated after reports said that IndiGo refused to allow Madani to board the flight citing “some technical reasons”. Amid the melee, the protesters broke a glass pane of the IndiGo airline's counter located at domestic departure area of the Cochin airport, they said. A police team headed by Aluva Rural SP P N Unnirajan rushed to the spot to deal with the situation. The protest ended after they got an assurance that Madani will reach by air later.

The police said no arrests have been made, but added cases will be registered against those who were involved in the violence. The police said they used force to push out the slogan-shouting supporters.

About 8.15pm, Madani arrived at the Cochin International Airport in an IndiGo flight to a spirited welcome by PDP activists, adds DHNS from Thiruvananthapuram. He left for his home in Anvarssery in Kollam by road.

Dear Hari your statement should be changed. Please check the history. First of all the temples in india built after demolishing Buddist temples. So do you give back all the temples to buddists? Regarding Babri Masjid, since more than 400 years the musjid was there. So how come it is possible? there was temple?

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Demanding the setting up of a House Committee to probe the Mangaluru violence, former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday released multiple videos of the clashes that broke out during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protest that claimed two lives on December 19.

Janata Dal-Secular leader further demanded suspension of Police Commissioner PS Harsha and insisted that House Committee consisting of members of all the parties should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence and said that magisterial inquiry ordered by the state government cannot be trusted.

"Constitute a House committee and produce the fact. The main culprit is the commissioner of Mangaluru, remove the officer as he is the main culprit. I am going to take this issue on the floor of the House." Kumaraswamy said during a press conference here.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.

Bengaluru, Jan 11: India’s second-biggest IT company, Infosys Ltd, said it found no evidence of financial misconduct by its executives following a investigation into whistleblower complaints.

Bengaluru-headquartered Infosys, which earlier on Friday raised its revenue forecasts due to upbeat demand from Western clients, said an audit committee report exonerated Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh and Chief Financial Officer Nilanjan Roy of all allegations, including accusations that the duo prevented employees from presenting data on large deals.

“I’m very happy that CEO Salil Parekh and CFO Nilanjan Roy have emerged from this stronger,” Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani told reporters. “The last two years since Salil has been here the company has changed dramatically for the better.”

Parekh took over as Infosys CEO in January 2018, after his predecessor Vishal Sikka quit following a public row with the company’s founder executives amid whistleblower allegations of wrongdoing.

The company earlier said it expected revenue to grow between 10 per cent and 10.5 per cent on a constant currency basis in the year ending March 2020, compared with its previous forecast of between 9 per cent and 10 per cent.

“We continue to see momentum in the market and we have an extremely robust pipeline driven by segment leaders,” CEO Parekh told a news conference.

“With the strength of large deal wins and digital momentum, we were able to clearly see that we have support to raise our guidance.”
