Wife attempts suicide after Judeo's death

August 16, 2013

Judeos_deathNew Delhi, Aug 16: Hours after former Union minister Dilip Singh Judeo passed away on Wednesday, his wife tried to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills. Madhvi Devi, 61, was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where her condition is stated to be stable.

Judeo, 64, was being treated for liver and kidney infection at Medanta Medicity in Gurgaon for the past 45 days.

He was declared dead on Wednesday afternoon, but Madhvi was informed only around 9.30 pm.

She was alone at their house in central Delhi’s Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Road, as relatives and family members were in the hospital.

“On hearing the news, Madhvi?took an overdose of sleeping pills. She was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital around 10.15 pm,” said S B S Tyagi, Deputy Commissioner of Police, New Delhi.

Her suicide bid came to light when a domestic help found her unconscious and made a call to police.

Dr H K Kaur, Medical Superintendent of the hospital, added that Madhvi underwent a stomach wash soon after arrival.

“Toxins were flushed out from her stomach with sterile water and saline solution by Thursday afternoon. Her condition is stated to be stable,” Kaur said.

Judeo is survived by wife Madhvi and two sons Prabal Pratap Singh and Yudhvir Singh. Close friends of the family said Judeo had been depressed since his newly married eldest son died of heart attack around three months back and his mother passed away some weeks later.

A Member of Parliament from Bilaspur constituency in Chhattisgarh, Judeo had run into controversy after he was accused of accepting a bribe from an Australian company in exchange for mining rights in Chhattisgarh.

Judeo, who hailed from the royal family of Jashpur, was minister of state for environment and forests in Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s BJP-led coalition government.

London, May 14: Vijay Mallya on Thursday lost his application seeking leave to appeal in the UK Supreme Court, in a setback for the embattled liquor tycoon who last month lost his High Court appeal against an extradition order to India on charges of fraud and money laundering related to unrecovered loans to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

The 64-year-old businessman had 14 days to file this application to seek permission to move the higher court on the High Court judgment from April 20, which dismissed his appeal against a Westminster Magistrates' Court's extradition order certified by the UK Home Secretary.

The latest ruling will now go back for re-certification and the process of extradition should be triggered within 28 days.

The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Mallya's appeal to certify a point of law was rejected on all three counts, of hearing oral submissions, grant a certificate on the questions as drafted, and grant permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Indian government's response to the appeal application had been submitted earlier this week.

The leave to appeal to the Supreme Court is on a point of law of general public importance, which according to experts is a very high threshold that is not often met.

New Delhi, Jun 18: Major General-level talks between India and China, held to resolve the issues related to the violent face-off in Ladakh's Galwan area on June 15-16, lasted for more than six hours on Thursday, sources said.

The talks between the Major Generals of the two countries had remained inconclusive on Wednesday.

Sources also said that all Indian Army personnel who were involved in Galwan valley violent face-off on June 15-16 are accounted for and no soldier is missing in action.

At least 20 Indian Army personnel, including a Colonel rank officer, had lost their lives in the violent face-off which happened in the Galwan valley as a result of an attempt by the Chinese troops to unilaterally change the status quo during the de-escalation in eastern Ladakh.

Indian intercepts have revealed that the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties including dead and seriously injured in the violent clash. The commanding officer of the Chinese unit is among those killed, sources confirmed to media persons.

India wants restoration of old status quo along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) prevailing before May 2020 when the first reports of Chinese incursions started appearing.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had on Wednesday conveyed a clear and tough message to his Chinese counterpart Foreign Minister Wang Yi that what happened in Galwan was a "pre-mediated and planned action that was directly responsible for the resulting violence and casualties."
