Man Says Wife Blindfolded & Tied Him To Chair For Sexual Act, Ended Up Slicing His Throat

A man from Gurgaon has registered a complaint with the police that his wife slashed his throat when he was alone at home with her on Saturday, as per a Hindustan Times report. The wife has gone missing.
The man has alleged that on Saturday noon, the wife called him to the bedroom. There, she blindfolded him and tied him to a chair for a sexual act. After playing music and dancing for a while, she slit his throat with a sharp object.
The man, a resident of Khedla village in Sohna, says he was immediately taken to a Sohna hospital, from where he was first taken to Gurgaon civil hospital and later to Delhi's Safdarjung in a serious condition.
He says he was rescued by a friend who heard him scream.
The police, however, says that the victim's statements have inconsistencies. How he managed to untie himself as well as his wife's whereabouts remain unknown. The police also said that the couple were facing marital problems.

Manipur Governor Urges UNC to Lift Blockade

Manipur governor Najma Heptulla has strongly appealed to the leaders of the United Naga Council (UNC) and their supporters to consider lifting of blockade at the earliest keeping aside the stand-off between them and the government.

In a press statement governor expressed concern at the picketing of government offices in all Naga dominated areas in the hill districts and further requested all concerned to discontinue such agitation in the interest of the people of the state.

“All issues can be resolved through dialogue,” she stressed, adding it is hoped that leaders of UNC and their supporters will consider lifting the blockade on humanitarian ground and in the larger interest of the people.”

She further reminded that the blockade has caused immense hardship to the people of the state, particularly in the valley districts, and further the assembly elections are round the corner.

Centre-NSCN (I-M) agreement yet to be finalized: R.N. Ravi

Interlocutor for Naga talks and chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), R.N. Ravi said the ‘Framework Agreement’ between Government of India and the NSCN (I-M) is not the final agreement, and that it is still work in progress.
In an interview given to ANI, Ravi, when asked why the framework agreement has been kept a secret and not released in the public domain, said, “The framework agreement is not the final agreement and we don’t serve half-cooked meals, because, as and when we will reach the final agreement, this (the framework agreement), will be part of that.
Ravi said that it would not be in the nation’s larger interest to release the framework agreement when its details are not yet finalized.
“I have explained it to all the stakeholders by and large, by going and meeting them, and discussing the issue with them, what (the framework agreement) contains. So, a document as such, as I told you that since it is not a complete agreement, and an incomplete agreement can create issues, so, I think, it will not be proper,” Ravi said.
When asked whether a deadline has been set for the framework agreement to come out in its final form, the chairman of the JIC, said, “No, we can’t have a deadline. We are trying to make it as early as possible. Well, we are trying our best, but we can’t set a deadline.”
His comments came a day after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh issued a clarification on the framework agreement signed between the NSCN-IM and the Government of India, during his visit to Manipur capital Imphal.
His clarification that “no word related to Manipur contained in the Framework Agreement signed between GOI and NSCN (IM). There is no such provision in the agreement. Even the name of Manipur is not mentioned in it, failed to convince representatives of civil society and students’ bodies.
On Wednesday, a large number of womenfolk and volunteers of the All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU) thronged the Raj Bhavan in Imphal, asking the Governor to urge the Centre to produce the signed agreement before the public.
Talking to media, Manjit Sarangthem, secretary general, AMSU, said that they will continue the agitation until the Government of India produces a White Paper of the framework agreement. The All Manipur Students Union (AMSU) organised the rally as a part of the campaign which was kicked off demanding disclosure of the details of the framework agreement between the Centre and NSCN-IM under the theme ‘Protection of historical and political Identity of Manipur’

Open Defecation, Booze-Free Assam Village Aims to Go Cashless

Having already earned the distinction of being free from open defecation, alcohol, tobacco and drugs, this tiny village in Assam’s Goalpara district now aims to go cashless. Adjudged the state’s cleanest village, Rangchapara has also not witnessed any incident of crime in the past at least 17 years.

It has now taken a pledge to be plastic-free from next month and plans to become the first village in the country to go cashless, says village head Roberth John Momin. The ‘clean initiative’ here started much before the NDA government initiated its ambitious Swachh Bharat Mission.

“It was in 1999 when the villagers began talking about cleanliness and in 2000 we formed a 10-member committee headed by me,” says Momin. “The committee took four resolutions – to be a peaceful and united village, to be a clean village, every household should have toilets and availability of clean drinking water for all,” he says.

Since the formation of the committee, there has not been any case of open defection, violence or anyone consuming drugs, alcohol or smoking in the village which has 88 households and a population of 475, all Christians. “We announced a fine of Rs 5,001 for anyone who violates our resolutions, but the best part is that the fine was never imposed, as everyone was following the rules,” says Momin.

Rangchapara was declared the cleanest village in Assam for 2016-17 by the public health engineering department earlier this month and rewarded with a sum of Rs 5 lakh rupees by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.

The village was selected by Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development, a third party which examined every village in the state on criteria like attempts to become open defecation free, presence of pucca toilets and their conditions and attempts to promote awareness on cleanliness.

According to Goalpara Deputy Commissioner J V N Subramanyam, the Swachh Bharat Mission was a blessing. “With the help of the mission in 2014 and efforts of public health engineering department, the villagers began to have pucca toilets,” he says.

“The villagers had no idea that they can be the cleanest in the district, leave alone the cleanest in the state,” says Abdul Mozid, Senior Block Development Officer of Balijana. “The village has never seen any conflict; people here live peacefully and unitedly,” says Mozid.

There is also proper waste management. “You can find a dustbin after a short distance and people dispose of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste accordingly,” he says. The village has two schools – one primary and the other middle. The people are neither very rich nor are highly educated.

However, the villagers rue about the condition of roads. The muddy road which connects the village to the district is also not in a very good shape and even the 108 ambulance refuses to ply in the village, they say. “We have been demanding for funds since 2014, but no money has been granted. It is a very serious problem,” says Ratna Nath, panchayat president of Balijana Block.

However, the steps taken to be a clean village have not only helped the villagers get an award but there has also been a reduction in the number of children falling ill. “People are now connecting health with cleanliness, which has also helped in reducing the number of diarrhea cases to half. The village is a perfect example of what people and government together can do,” Subramanyam says.

“The village is now a brand and is helping in bringing changes in the nearby villages. People are following its path not only to be clean, but healthy as well,” he says. The villagers are predominantly farmers with only seven of them having government jobs. Most of the houses are thatched, but with the help of Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), now known as Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana (PMGAY), villagers are beginning to have a house made of bricks.

Summer & Salt of the Hills

January Edition, Music, Net Bureau, Nayanjyoti Medhi

Meet Summersalt, the folk fusioners from Shillong of Rock On 2 fame, currently taking India by a storm. Mainstays of the traditional scene in the music capital of Northeast India, the six piece act is making the nation sway to the tunes of Khasi folk infused with elements of rock. Northeast Today caught up with the band for an exclusive interview. Excerpts:

NET: Why Summersalt?

Summersalt: Salt is a concept, salt is a preservative, salt adds taste. At a time where the culture of trust and values are dwindling, we hope to make the difference. We became Summersalt. On calling ourselves ‘Summersalt’, seriously, it doesn’t need to mean anything, but since you asked – It is a fun word, easy to pronounce and sticks there to your tongue once you say it. As a juxtaposition of two words, ‘Summer’ being the vibrant season and ‘Salt’ being a preservative, usually the minor ingredient but the most important.

NET: How was the band formed? Tell us about the band members.

Summersalt: When we first got together we never played an instrument. Back in 2006 we started talking about what we wanted to do musically and were basically a focus group more than a band. Then as we integrated our minds into similar thought processes we began picking up instruments. Kit is the songwriter, Ador brings the traditional nuances through the duitara and he’s also the keyboardist, Pynsuk is another mainstay vocal of Summersalt, Greg completes the band with his intelligent guitaring, Weet takes care of the rhythm section on drums and Nah plays the bass guitar.

NET: Take us through the band’s music. What drives and inspires you?

Summersalt: It is folk-fusion all the way and because all of us had had our fair share of opportunities to play different genres – it all worked well. But then all of us had to mutually agree to follow certain parameters for the band, there has to be one sound overarching all those influences – that’s the sound that emanates from the Khasi way of life, which we believe, is the music that sits restless on the laps of these beautiful hills.

Anything with a purpose can drive us, it comes out in the form of humour, sarcasm, challenge, care, family bonds, trees, food, traditional culture, village life – you name it. But the huge inspiration comes from the Music itself and the source of it all, as we believe, it is the creation of the master Creator. We believe in God and we believe that true inspiration comes from him, the enabler who stays close by.

NET: Tell us about your debut album. How has the journey been?

Summersalt: The album has received a lot of good and intelligent reviews and we have sold a good number of copies too. We are generally very happy about the way things are going with it. The album actually took a little over three years in the making from writing, recording, mix and master to the conceptualization of the artwork and the music videos. It has been a long, tiresome but fulfilling journey and we have been lucky to work with everybody who has given their time and input on making this album happen. We hope that this is just the first of many to come.

NET: Rock On 2 has catapulted you into the realm of mainstream Indian music. How was the experience? Is the music of Northeast being finally recognised?

Summersalt: Rock On 2 was a thing of beauty, we were very grateful to Shankar Ehsaan Loy and the whole production team for letting us record our song as part of the film and their album as well. To be the first Khasi vernacular custodians in the Bollywood circuit made us immensely proud of our roots and just re emphasizes our wishes to take music from the hills to a greater audience. India’s northeast is fast becoming a hub for creative musical influence and besides Bollywood there has been many independent efforts as well to tap the music from these parts. We stand to believe that the Northeast is finally being recognized but we sure still have a long way to go to simply just arrive at a satisfactory level, let alone thrive.

NET: A career in music in the Northeast is pretty hard. While there are scopes for local artists, most upcoming bands complain the lack of opportunities. What are your views?

Summersalt: The opportunities are few and a lot of artists do suffer. We still need a lot of event promoters and corporate entities that would encourage musicians. We are yet to have a full fledged record company or a booking agency or an event management firm even though there have been numerous efforts to attempt this. There has to be a more holistic approach from everyone, right from the musicians to promoters themselves for us to sustain a system that supports artists.

NET: What are your plans for the future?

Summersalt: We are looking at touring and promote the album all over the country and also to work on the second album. We have a few songs locked up in the vault and might hit the recording studio in the following year. We have got a few big commitments which we have undertaken but can’t disclose as yet. All in all you are sure to get see a lot of Summersalt activity in the future.a

Reliance Jio to Take on Uber, Ola in India With App-Based Taxi

Reliance Jio cabs could soon rival Uber in India? (Photo: The Quint)
Reliance Jio is lining up its fleet of app-based cabs in India with reports suggesting Jio will compete with Ola and Uber in the coming months – say hello to Jio Cabs. As reported by FactorDaily, the company will unleash its cab division with 600 taxis to be rolled out in the country.

Jio has long been mooted to make the best of its payment service, Jio Money, by attaching it to a cab-based service like Ola and Uber. But when Uber and Jio partnered to utilise Jio Money for consumers, the industry expected Jio Cabs to be put on the backburner.
However, this unexpected development suggests that Mukesh Ambani and co. had other ideas, especially following their Jio Prime feature that lets existing Jio users get 4G internet at Rs 10 per day.
The launch of Jio Cabs is likely to be announced once Jio 4G’s official roll-out in April pans out in the way Reliance expects it to. Asking users on Jio to pay for its service comes as a break from the Jio monotony after dishing out free services on the network for more than 9 months.
We could not verify the report with Reliance Jio, as their communications team was unavailable at the time of publishing. We will update the piece with their response if we receive it.

Arunachal Student Invents Device for Visually-Impaired

NET Bureau

In a bid to make the life of visually impaired people easy, Anang Tadar—a young boy from Arunachal Pradesh has come out with a innovative device by developing ‘G6B’ (Goggle for Blind), a special kind of wearable glasses made for the visually impaired. Tare is a class 11 student of New Galaxy Academy, Nirjuli in papum Pare district of the state.

Speaking to Northeast Today about this idea initiative, he said “I have developed this on the based on echolocation used by bats.”

Tadar further informed that the device will help the visually impaired people to detect objects in their vicinity without physical contact. “It is an infrared sensor on the centre, which is equipped for safety purposes. The ultrasound sensor fitted in both side of the device detects obstacle on the left and right side of the user,” Tadar mentioned.

Tadar further shared that if the obstacle is in right side, then the motor on the right temple will vibrate and vice-versa, “This device can detect object from a distance of two metres.

It is worth mentioning that Tadar got the idea to develop this device while he was travelling in a car with a visually impaired girl. Tadar has recently received the Dinanath Pandey Smart Idea award for his innovation during an innovation festival held at Regional Science Centre.

March 1 Onwards; No Assamese Bulletin from Delhi

The Assamese bulletin run from All India Radio Delhi centre was only source of national and international news for the people of Assam hardly a decade back. But for rural Assam this Assamese bulletin is still the only source of national and international news even today. This bulletin was started in 1947 just a month before India’s independence and over the years it has become part and parcel of Assamese social discourse.

News presenters Lili Das Malik, Aban Borpujari and Nassiur Rahman of 60s and 70s, Hiran Dutta, Guna Baruah and Bibha Goswami of 80s and early 90s and Indrajit Das and Debajit Saikia after 2000 are the some of the house hold names in Assam who have in different ages updated the people of Assam with the happenings around the country and the world.

However, the News Service Division of All India Radio which falls under Prasar Bharati has via notification last month decided to terminate the Assamese bulletin from Delhi thus ending a 70 year old legacy. From March 1, this Assamese bulletin will run from GUWAHATI Regional News Unit of AIR.

AIR runs 3 Assamese bulletins from Delhi; one in the morning, one in the evening and one in the noon. And atleast 20 news presenters will be rendered jobless once these bulletin will cease to exist from Delhi .

Amy Jackson was taken aback when her personal pictures got leaked on the Internet. She realised later that somebody had hacked into her phone.

What happened was, Amy flew from London to Chennai in order to wrap the last schedule of 2.0 and she had a connecting flight from Mumbai. Apparently, she decided to spend some time at a mobile store during her halt in Mumbai and word has it that the phone got hacked at the store itself.

Some of the personal pictures of the actress got leaked on the Internet. As per a report on Mid-Day, a source informed, ““The phone’s automatic sync was on, as a result of which all photographs clicked by her were getting saved on iCloud. She was in her hometown, London, when she couldn’t log into her account for a few days and went to a local store for help. However, it was on February 7 when two pictures with her best friend having dinner appeared online that she realised her phone was hacked. She went to the service centre again before coming to India.”

Reportedly, Amy also explained,”“I was shocked when this happened. This isn’t a trivial matter and has to be taken up seriously. I will register a complaint with the cyber crime cell in London and ensure the hackers are taken to task. Cyber safety is the need of the hour.”

More than 50 million Muslims are willing to support those who carry out terror attacks to defend their religion, migration expert warns the EU

• Professor Ruud Koopmans of the Netherlands warned the EU on Monday to block the entry of any refugees whose identity cannot be categorically confirmed
• Koopmans said of the 1billion adult Muslims in the world, half are conservative
• He claimed that of these 500million conservative Muslims, at least – and probably more – than 50million are willing to sanction violence
• The migration researcher stressed that not every one of them was ready to exert violence directly

A migration expert warns that there are more than 50 million Muslims willing to accept violence and support those who carry out terror attacks to defend their religion.

Professor Ruud Koopmans of the Netherlands warned the EU on Monday to block the entry of any refugees whose identity cannot be categorically confirmed.

Koopmans said that of the 1billion adult Muslims in the world, 'half of them are attached to an arch-conservative Islam which places little worth on the rights of women, homosexuals, and people of other faiths'.

Professor Ruud Koopmans of the Netherlands warned the EU on Monday that at least 50million Muslims were willing to sanction violence and support those who carry out terror attacks to defend their religion

In an interview with a German news website he claimed that of these 500million conservative Muslims, at least – and probably more – than 50million are willing to sanction violence.

The migration researcher stressed that not every one of them was ready to exert violence directly.

But he added: 'They support the radicals, they encourage them and provide them shelter or simply keep their mouths shut when they observe radicalization.'

He says he considers his own estimate of 50million 'an understatement', citing studies that show eight per cent of German Muslims agreed to the use of violence against 'Infidels,' while in his own country 11 per cent of Muslims agreed with the statement: 'There are situations in which it is acceptable for me from the perspective of my religion, that I use violence'.

In several Islamic countries, 14 per cent of local Muslims think suicide attacks against innocents are 'sometimes' or 'often' justified to defend Islam, said Koopmans, citing a study by the US-based Pew Research Center.

Koopmans's comments come as people worldwide have protested US President Donald Trump's Muslim ban. Pictured above, opponents of the ban protest outside the San Francisco court of appeals last week

'I'm very conservative with my estimate of 50million violent Muslims,' added Professor Koopmans.

The expert sees a 'clear difference' between anti-Islam baiting and justified criticism of Islam.

He went on: 'There is nothing wrong with foreign cultures, as long as they are looking for the connection to the majority in society and actually enrich our countries.

'But those who are here to spread their medieval beliefs, which are unfortunately widespread in Islamic countries, must be met with zero tolerance'.

He stressed that the EU should be much more careful to let suspected Islamists have uncontrolled travel to and within Europe.

He sad refugees and migrants should be placed initially in transit zones, 'as long as their identity is unclear'.

Film Review: Malayalam horror thriller 'Ezra'

Ezra, an Indian Malayalam horror thriller is a film both about black magic as well as the happenings of a Jewish family in the 1940s in Kerala; hence the name of the film which derives from the name of a murdered scion of that family. At the same time this film is about reincarnation as well and of how the soul of one dead individual gets transmogrified into another many, many years later.

This happens through the setting of a young couple who migrate from Mumbai to Kochin. The husband Ranjan Mathew (Prithviraj) works for a company that processes nuclear waste. He is the reincarnation of the murdered Ezra.

Events are set in motion when his wife Priya (Priya Anand) buys an antique box from an antiquities store. The box unknown to them contains the spirit of the dead Ezra, which then proceeds to wreak havoc in the bungalow in Cochin where they reside when Priya unwittingly opens the box and lets out the spirit.

It's never quite explained why the couple choose to live in a rented bungalow instead of a modern flat as they were doing in Mumbai. Ranjan Mathew being a Jew, on the advice of his father, goes away in the meanwhile to consult with Jewish clergy about what can be done to ward off calamity. On the way Priya calls him to inform him that she is pregnant. The priest tells him that this is nothing but an evil spirit about to be reborn.

With this disquieting news which he keeps to himself, Ranjan Mathew returns to their abode in Cochin. Soon after their confabulations the priest's son who is also a priest, by prior agreement, lands there to see what can be done about matters.

In a gripping final scene, it's revealed that Ranjan Mathew himself had murdered Ezra. He then proceeds to attack the priests who continually meanwhile chant from the Torah. Ezra finally perishes and the spirit returns to the box which is then quickly closed and submerged in the body of water where Ezra's mortal remains lie.

One may think therefore that all ends well; except that the box is again picked up by some vagrants further down the shore. It is then left to the viewer's imagination to conjecture what would ensue and thus the film ends.

This is simply a broad outline and it's for the viewer to watch to get a full idea of the many details in between by viewing the film. Prithviraj makes a stellar role as Ranjan Mathew and other noteworthy performances are by Tovino Thomas as a local cop and Vijayraghavan as a priest.

It's not for nothing that this film has been described in a recent review as a first of it's kind horror film in Mollywood. Replete with Hebrew dialogue with Malayalam subtitles, the horror scenes gel well with the story.

To put this film in perspective also needs to be aware of Kerala's Jewish traditions, namely that after the dispersal of the Jews by the Roman empire in ancient times they reassembled in Kerala where they continued their unique way of life till the formation of Israel when they all emigrated to that land and that the oldest synagogue in the world located in Kerala was also dismantled and reassembled in Israel in the final years of the twentieth century; thereby as it were decisively closing a chapter.

This film is in part is about one of those traditions; namely that Jews are forbidden to marry outside their faith unlike some other Indian minorities such as Parsis who do. There are to the best of my knowledge, no more Jews remaining in Kerala though perhaps vestiges of their traditions can still be seen at Matancherry.

Gareth Bale proves no one will be taking his place in the Real Madrid team as he joins football freestylers in gym

The Welshman has been out since November with ankle ligament damage and is now working hard to get match-fit

Real Madrid were boosted by the news that Welsh wizard Gareth Bale is back in training following a long injury lay-off.

The 27-year-old suffered ankle ligament damage in the Champions League back in November and was forced to go under the knife as part of his recovery.

Zinedine Zidane doesn't expect his forward to be fit for another three weeks, but Bale has wasted no time showing Los Blancos what they have been missing since making his long-awaited return.

In his first training session since his injury he looked incredibly sharped and got himself on the score sheet more than once while battling to get himself back to full fitness.

While in the above Adidas Football video he took it a step further.

In the clip, the Welshman is joined by Sean Garnier and S3 Freestyle, who accept a challenge from the Real Madrid forward.

They agree to do kick-ups from Cardiff - where the Champions League final will be held at the Millennium Stadium - to the Ciudad training facilities in the Spanish capital.

And will 'take Bale's place in the Madrid team' should they pass the test.

The clip is pretty impressive for the most part as French freestyler Garnier takes the strain and keeps the ball off the ground while travelling abroad.

But his little mistake at the end sees him having to prove his worth in other, more creative ways when he finally arrives in Madrid.

Garnier performs a number of tricks, hoping to catch Bale's eye, as the Welshman steps up his training at the gym.

However, Bale is seemingly unimpressed and confident of keeping hold of his place in the first team, especially now that he has returned from injury.
