Asaram Bapu finally arrested from his Indore ashram

September 1, 2013

Asaram Bhopal/Indore, Sep 1: Controversial godman Asaram Bapu was arrested by the Jodhpur police, 20 minutes past midnight. The midnight swoop came hours after the Rajasthan police stopped his sermons late in the evening and whisked him away for interrogation.

SP Indore (East) OP Tripathi confirmed to TOI that Asaram, who is accused of sexually abusing a minor in Jodhpur, was taken out of the ashram in a white Tavera. The car carrying Asaram later reached Indore airport. Sources say the godman will be flown out of the city from the first flight to Rajasthan on Sunday morning. The 35-member Rajasthan police team is led by ACP Satish Jahangir.

The MP police slammed shut the ashram gates to avoid supporters' face-off with the Jodhpur cops. Thousands of Asaram supporters are locked inside the compound of the ashram as reports last came in. Barricades were put up outside Asaram's fortified ashram and the government rushed additional forces to Indore to avert a law and order problem. The situation at the ashram turned volatile with at least 400 more Asaram supporters trooping inside.

Earlier, the Jodhpur police blew the cover off Asaram Bapu, when they managed to slip into his fortified ashram in Indore through the rear, throwing thousands of devotees off-guard on Saturday. The policemen found Asaram holed up inside the ashram and in perfect health, punching holes into his son's statement to the media that the godman was unwell and being treated.

On Friday, Asaram indulged in high drama, missing a Delhi flight in the nick of time, then going missing and suddenly resurfacing in Indore. But the wily godman failed to fox the Jodhpur police, who managed to sneak into his impregnable ashram.

The Jodhpur police demanded Asaram's medical reports and forced him to be re-examined by accompanying doctors. The doctors found the guru fit for interrogation.

Plea against godman for Sonia slur

Indore-based lawyer on Saturday filed a petition in a local court seeking action against controversial godman Asaram Bapu, who is accused of sexual abuse of a minor girl, for allegedly making unsavoury

remarks against Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul. Petitioner Shailendra Dwivedi said he has filed the application in the court of judicial magistrate first class Ajay Pendam who has fixed the date of hearing to Sept 19. Dwivedi said he wanted action against Asaram under sections 153 (a) (promoting religious hatred), 298 (uttering words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) and 500 (punishment for defamation) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). The advocate said he filed the petition on the basis of the statement made by Asaram insinuating Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for his troubles.

February 1,2020

New Delhi, Feb 1: India on Friday banned the export of personal protection equipment such as masks and clothing amid a global coronavirus outbreak.

It did not give a reason for the ban but it reported its first case of the new coronavirus on Thursday, a woman in Kerala who was a student of Wuhan University in China.

The central Chinese city of Wuhan is the epicentre of the outbreak, and the virus has since spread to more than 9,800 people globally and killed 213 people in China.

Several Indian citizens living in Wuhan will arrive in India by plane on Saturday and be taken to a quarantine centre on the outskirts of the capital New Delhi.

India, the world’s second most heavily populated country after China, has taken measures to ensure that all people arriving from China report to health authorities.

Moody's downgrades 11 Indian banks, 11 NFIs, 11 infra majors, 4 issuers

Agencies

June 2,2020

Singapore, Jun 2: Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded 11 Indian banks along with as many non-financial companies and infrastructure majors besides four government-related issuers following a downgrade of the Indian government's issuer rating to Baa3 from Baa2 with a negative outlook.

The rapid and widening spread of the coronavirus outbreak, deteriorating global economic outlook, volatile oil prices and asset price declines are creating a severe and extensive credit shock across many sectors, regions and markets, said Moody's.

The Indian banking sector has been affected given the disruptions to India's economic activity from the coronavirus outbreak, which is weakening borrowers' credit profiles, it added.

The 11 lenders include Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, Central Bank of India, Export-Import Bank of India, HDFC Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, IndusInd Bank, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India and Union Bank of India.

The 11 non-finance companies are Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Oil India, Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Petronet LNG, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Reliance Industries, UPL Corporation and Genpact.

The 11 infrastructure companies are NTPC, NHPC, National Highways Authority of India, Power Grid Corporation, Gail India, Adani Green Energy Restricted Group (RG-2), Adani Transmission Restricted Group, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Adani Transmission, Adani Electricity Mumbai and Azure Power Solar Energy.

The four Indian government-related issuers are Indian Railway Finance Corporation, Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Power Finance Corporation and REC Ltd.

"Government-related issuers in India have been affected because of disruptions to India's economy which will weaken borrowers' credit profiles," said Moody's.
