Kozhikode, Oct 16: A 32-year-old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader from Muzhappilangadu was admitted to the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital with serious injuries on Sunday.

Police said Nidheesh, Alias Manikkuttan, suffered injuries on his feet and hands. Though he was initially taken to the Thalassery Government General hospital, doctors referred him to the Kozhikode Medical College.

Edakkad police said the youth was hacked by an eight-member gang, allegedly belonging to the Communist Party of India(Marxist) from the region.

The incident took place around 5.30 p.m. when Nidheesh, along with his friends, was fishing near the Muzhappilangadu beach in Kannur.

A case has been registered under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC against eight CPI(M) workers. Police said the assailants escaped and no one was taken into custody. Security arrangements have been tightened.

Jan 27: Bidders for Air India Ltd. will need to absorb $3.26 billion of its debt, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration tries once again to sell the national carrier.

The entire company will be sold but effective control needs to stay with Indian nationals, according to preliminary terms published Monday. Bids are invited by March 17 with Ernst & Young LLP India as transaction adviser.

Air India, which started in 1932 as a mail carrier before winning commercial popularity, saw its fortunes fade with the emergence of cutthroat low-cost competition. The state-run airline has been unprofitable for over a decade and is saddled with more than $8 billion in debt.

Indian regulations allow a foreign airline to buy as much as 49% of a local carrier, while overseas investors other than airlines can buy an entire carrier. The government didn’t find a single bidder when it tried to sell Air India in 2018.
