The Rohini District Court in Delhi decided to treat a minor as an adult in a case involving the rape and murder of a 5-year-old girl, resulting in a life imprisonment sentence. The court mentioned that the convicted individual was above 16 years old at the time of the crime, which was initially reported in 2017.
The Special Judge (POCSO) Sushil Bala Dagar, while sentencing the child, imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 for murder and directed the District Legal Services Authority to provide a compensation of Rs 17 Lakh to the victim’s family. The court also noted the work history of the now-convicted individual as evidence of his capability to work during his incarceration.
The Special Public Prosecutor for the Delhi Police pushed for a life sentence, highlighting the seriousness of the crime and arguing that the accused’s actions reflect his mindset. He emphasised that the accused should receive the maximum punishment without the leniency provided by the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015.
Shaktikanta Das, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has called on banks and non-banking finance companies to closely watch how top loans are being utilised and to intervene if they are being used for unproductive or speculative purposes.
This recommendation was prompted by a significant increase in home equity loans and top-up housing loans. Additionally, Das highlighted that banks and NBFCs have been providing top-ups on other secured loans such as gold loans, and certain entities are strictly adhering to regulatory guidelines regarding fund utilisation.
An alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Dr. Krishna Chivukula (MTech, 1970), has made the largest-ever donation of Rs. 228 crore to the institution. In recognition of this generous contribution, IIT Madras has named an academic block after him called the ‘Krishna Chivukula Block’. A special event was held on August 6 to make this announcement.
Dr. Krishna Chivukula is a successful entrepreneur with expertise in Chemistry, Engineering, and Material Science. He introduced Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology to India in 1997 when it was still new in the USA.
This donation is among the largest ever received by an educational institution in India, and Dr. Chivukula was awarded the ‘Distinguished Alumnus Award’ by IIT Madras in 2015.
Dr. Krishna Chivukula graduated with Honours in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 1968, completed his M.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Madras in 1970, and obtained an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1980.
His career highlights include being the first Indian to serve as the Group President and Chief Executive Officer of a major conglomerate in the USA at the age of 37. Currently, he owns and chairs the Board of Directors of several companies in India and the USA.
The donation will be used for various purposes, such as supporting international students through scholarships, Research Excellence Grant Program, UG Fellowship Program for incoming students, Sports Scholar Program, Shaastra Magazine development, and maintenance of the Krishna Chivukula Block, according to IIT Madras.
Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi hailed wrestler Vinesh Phogat as his “hero” after she made history by reaching the finals of the women’s 50 kg wrestling event at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first Indian to achieve this feat.
Gogoi praised Phogat for her outstanding performance in defeating Yusneylis Guzman Lopez of Cuba in the semifinals and securing at least a silver medal in her third Olympic appearance. Admiring her determination, self-belief, and strength, he extended his best wishes for her to win the gold medal at the Olympics.
In a post on X, Gogoi expressed his admiration for Phogat, describing her as a symbol of courage and resilience. He urged her to stay focused and strive for the Olympic gold medal, not only for herself but also for Indian women and the entire nation.
Phogat’s remarkable achievement received recognition from Tokyo Games bronze medallist wrestler Bajrang Punia, who referred to her as the “lioness of India” for her impressive victories in Paris. Both athletes had previously led a protest against alleged sexual harassment of women wrestlers by a former Wrestling Federation of India chief.
Manu Bhaker’s outstanding performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics has earned her the highest honour from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), selecting her as one of India’s flag bearers for the closing ceremony on August 11.
Bhaker has been a standout, winning two of the three medals India has achieved so far.
The Sports Authority of India (SAI) posted a video on X capturing Manu’s joyful reaction upon learning she would be India’s flag-bearer at the closing ceremony.
After Rahul Dravid’s contract as head coach of the Indian cricket team expired following their T20 World Cup 2024 win, Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach. Gambhir began his tenure with a tour to Sri Lanka, where India played three T20Is and is currently involved in a three-match ODI series.
Gambhir’s strict attitude has often been criticised, with some labelling him as arrogant. However, his childhood coach, Sanjay Bhardwaj, revealed his true nature during an interaction with former India U-19 World Cup winner Manjot Kalra on Kalra’s YouTube channel.
Bhardwaj described Gambhir as an innocent 12-year-old, emphasizing that while people might perceive him as arrogant, it is merely his winning mentality. He recalled making Gambhir play matches after net sessions, where Gambhir would cry if he lost, showing his intense dislike for losing even at a young age.
Bhardwaj, who has known Gambhir for 30 years, asserted that Gambhir is pure at heart and has helped many young players, including pacer Navdeep Saini, advance in their careers. He described Gambhir as polite and sincere, despite the misconceptions about his attitude.
Gambhir’s coaching stint started well, with India securing a 3-0 whitewash in the T20I series against Sri Lanka under the new captain Suryakumar Yadav. However, the ODI series has been challenging, with India trailing 0-1 and one match remaining, marking the first time in 27 years that India might not win an ODI series against Sri Lanka.
