Lucknow: Despite several warnings, Samajwadi Party workers continue to defy orders of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav by indulging in acts of hooliganism and violent behaviour. A Block Development Officer (BDO) in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi district, SK Shrivastava, was shot at by a local Samajwadi Party worker on Sunday evening. Mr Shrivastava sustained injuries in his leg and is being treated at the district hospital. His condition is said to be stable.
The police today arrested the Samajwadi Party leader, Bharat Singh Yadav.
Mr Shrivastava says the attack on him was premeditated as Mr Yadav wanted revenge. Mr Shrivastava had got a case registered against Mr Yadav for trying to rig the election of the party's candidate to the legislative council in 2010. Mr Yadav's wife, Kalyani Devi, is the local block head and also belongs to the Samajwadi Party.
For years, Samajwadi Party has been accused as a party which sheltered and promoted hooligans. Akhilesh Yadav had promised voters during his campaign that he would cleanse his party of the "goondas" or hooligans. He had also said that his top priority would be to deliver law and order to a state besieged by crime, but with numerous acts of violence by Samajwadi Party workers being reported, how well Akhilesh will deliver on this front remains to be seen.

Idinthakarai (Tamil Nadu): The Tamil Nadu Police today arrested MDMK chief Vaiko who was heading to the Idinthakarai village - the epicentre of the anti-Kudankulam protests - to address villagers there. Around 350 people were arrested with Vaiko.
Around 5000 people had gathered at village today. Vaiko too had joined the protesters.
There are also reports that the police may arrest S P Udhayakumar, the activist who is spearheading the protests. The villagers who have gathered there want to court arrest along with Mr Udhayakumar.
They have even put up barricades to prevent entry by police.
The police had yesterday removed the check post blocking the entry into the village. They had allowed the entry of vehicles into the area which has been seeing heated protests over the nuclear plant.
Prohibitory orders, however, remain in force in areas around Kudankulam.
Mr Udhayakumar is facing charges of sedition and waging war against the country. He is on an indefinite hunger strike in Idinthakarai ever since Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa gave the go-ahead to begin work at the controversial plant earlier this week. Villagers who have been protesting along with him for the last seven months say that they too would court arrest with him. But the police allege that the activist is using the locals as a human shield to evade arrest.
The anti-nuclear campaigner, meanwhile, said they are all prepared to be arrested. "If police want to arrest us, let them arrest all of us here. All of us here are overstepping the law, so let them arrest all of us. It is not appropriate to arrest one or two of us. We are all prepared to be arrested."
"I have not stolen any public money. I have not done anything wrong to anybody... I am not a politician... why should I be arrested?" he added. The villagers too have said that they will not give up their non-violent campaign.
The check posts were removed after allegations that the police had stopped essential supplies like milk and drinking water from reaching the village. The Tamil Nadu police chief, however, denied these allegations.
The upcoming Kudankulam nuclear plant is within a radius of a kilometre from the village where regular work has resumed after the state government order. Nearly 300 scientists keep moving into the plant on regular shifts. According to V Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, the work will be completed within two months.
Meanwhile, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) came up for hearing in the Madras High Court against the prohibitory orders clamped in the area. The court will deliver its verdict on Monday.
The petition, filed by P Pugalenthi, an advocate and Director of Prisoners Rights Forum, contended that depriving the people of their fundamental right of free movement in the name of maintaining public peace and tranquillity was a violation of constitutional norms.
The petitioner sought an order to declare as null and void the prohibitory orders in force till April 2.
Dr Udhayakumar points to the recent Fukushima tragedy in Japan to bolster his argument that the Kudankulam plant is not safe for those who live in close proximity. He has struck a chord with the villagers and that has catapulted him to be the face of the anti-nuclear campaign in the area.
In September, the state Cabinet had passed a resolution demanding that the Prime Minister order a halt of operations at Kudankulam till those living in the area were convinced that they are not at risk
Dr Manmohan Singh then deputed experts and ministers to assess the plant and answer the questions of villagers. Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa had also commissioned her own panel of experts to study the plant. Her clearance for the project came right after an important by-election in the Tirunelveli district, where the plant is located. In an attempt to pacify the area, she announced a Rs. 500 crore package to improve roads and infrastructure in the area.
The nuclear power project, worth Rs. 13,000 crores and being set up with assistance from Russia, will upon completion have six reactors, making this will India's largest power-generating complex. A pair of two 1,000-megawatt reactors will kickstart production.
The protesters, mostly fishermen from three districts, are worried that the seaside plant may damage the ecosystem with nuclear waste and ruin their livelihoods.
The Prime Minister's recent remarks that protests against Kudankulam were possibly receiving foreign funding provoked much anger among NGOs.

Gurgaon: Two days after a girl was allegedly gang-raped inside a moving car in Gurgaon, the police have arrested five men in connection with the case.
The 23-year-old victim, who worked at a pub in a mall in Gurgaon, had alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a group of six men. In her statement to the police, she blamed a co-worker at the pub for her rape. She claimed that he persuaded the men to rape her after she had a fight with him.

London: British police made six arrests early on Tuesday in the British media's phone hacking scandal, including Rebekah Brooks, the former top executive of Rupert Murdoch's News International, The Associated Press has learned.
Police did not identify those arrested, but a person who had been briefed on the details said Brooks and her husband, a prominent horse breeder and a friend of Prime Minister David Cameron, were arrested at their house.
The six people were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, police said in a statement. The charge is an indication that investigators may be focusing on a possible cover-up of the scope of phone hacking.
The investigation stems from widespread wrongdoing at Rupert Murdoch's now-closed News of the World tabloid. The victims have ranged from celebrities and major politicians to the families of crime victims.
The Metropolitan Police said five men and a woman were arrested in various locations in and around London in a series of raids conducted between 5 am and 7 am on Tuesday.
Police said a 43-year-old woman was arrested at her home in Oxfordshire and is being questioned there.
Also arrested were a 49-year-old man in Oxfordshire, a 39-year-old man in Hampshire, a 46-year-old man in West London, a 38-year-old man in Hertforshire and a 48-year-old man in East London.
A judge-led inquiry into media ethics has heard extensive testimony about wrongdoing by tabloid journalists, and Murdoch's company has reached cash settlements with a number of victims.
There is also a simultaneous investigation into corrupt relations between the police and the press which has yielded a number of arrests in recent weeks.
An inquiry panel appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron is trying to determine why an initial police investigation into phone hacking in 2006 failed to reveal the scope of the problem.
At the time, Murdoch's executives claimed the wrongdoing was limited to one scurrilous reporter and an unprincipled private detective, both of whom were jailed.
The dormant police investigation was reopened last year after reporters were found to have hacked into the voicemail of a missing schoolgirl who was later found to have been murdered.
That investigation led to the resignation of Cameron's top media adviser, Andy Coulson, who had been the editor of the News of the World.
It also led to the arrest of senior Murdoch executive, the 43-year-old Brooks, who was later released on bail. Both have denied wrongdoing.
Murdoch's company has reached cash settlements with various hacking victims, including actress Sienna Miller and singer Charlotte Church, but many new cases are being brought against News International, the UK newspaper branch of Murdoch's global media empire.
The scandal also scuttled Murdoch's plans to purchase full control of the British broadcaster BSkyB.

New York: The family of Syed Mohammed Kazmi, the Indian journalist who has been arrested in connection with the attack on an Israeli diplomat last month, has said that he is an innocent man who spoke the truth and has done a lot for India.
Mr Kazmi was arrested on March 7 under the Explosive Substances Act, for attempt to murder, criminal conspiracy and was also booked under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
Mr Kazmi's family feels that he is being punished for exercising his right: freedom of speech, but government sources say it is perhaps too early to come to any conclusion.
Mr Kazmi's son, Taurab Kazmi, while recalling his services to the nation said his father was innocent. "He is a journalist who spoke the truth. He did so much for the country and now he has been arrested for being an international terrorist," he said.
As evidence of his credibility, Mr Kazmi's family has a collection of his photographs with the prime minister, the former prime minister, and a range of national and international leaders.
Though Mr Kazmi had extreme views on the on-going Israel-Palestine conflict, it did not affect his work. He reported for Doordarshan News, covered the Iraq war and was also a retainer with IRNA, Iran's state news agency.
According to sources, agencies investigating the car bomb attack believe that Mr Kazmi helped the bomber, an Iranian national who stayed with him and used his vehicle to recce the Israeli embassy. Sources add the agencies don't think Mr Kazmi did not personally plant the bomb.
Reacting to these allegations, Mr. Kazmi's son Taurab says that no Iranian had ever stayed with them. "No Iranian stayed with us. The vehicle belongs to my uncle he used it go to the hospital," he said.
Sources say the operations to get Kazmi involved Research and Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency with support from the Israeli Mossad. His arrest was cleared at the highest levels in the home ministry.
While his family prays for his release, the Delhi Union of Journalists has written to the Delhi Commissioner and Home Minister P Chidambaram asking for Mr Kazmi to be released on bail.
Tal Yeshowa, the wife of an Israeli diplomat was injured in an attack on February 13 in Delhi's high security Race Course Road area. A motorcyclist came from behind and planted what police call a 'sticky bomb' on the vehicle in which she was travelling. Four people were injured in the incident. Ms Yeshowa was hospitalised and operated for spinal injuries before being flown back to Israel.
Bhopal: Police in Madhya Pradesh have arrested an alleged sand mafia kingpin and former dacoit Kuber Singh in connection with the firing on policemen and other officials on Friday. And in a related development, contracts of 14 sand mines allegedly indulging in illegal mining have also been cancelled.
"Kuber Singh had been taken in custody on Friday night by the police in Panna. He is being interrogated," Deputy Inspector General (Chattarpur) Ved Praksh said.
Kuber Singh and his gang had allegedly opened fire on a team of sub-divisional magistrate (SDM), sub-divisional officer (police), town inspector and other policemen on Friday when they had gone to stop illegal sand transportation in Chandipati village of Ajaygarh area. No one was hurt in the incident.
The firing incident happened exactly a day after a 30-year-old IPS officer, Narendra Kumar, was killed when a man driving a tractor ran over him. Mr Kumar had tried to stop the tractor, which was loaded with illegally-mined stones in the Morena district. Mr Kumar spotted the tractor while he was out patrolling. When the driver refused to stop, Mr Kumar got out of his jeep and blocked the tractor's path. The driver ploughed into him. Mr Kumar's family has alleged that his killing was a well-planned conspiracy.
Morena district is rich in stones meant for construction and the sand here is one of the finest in the country.

Kolkata: Two more people were arrested on Saturday in the Katwa train loot and rape case in West Bengal. Nayan Seikh and Farid Seikh, accused of raping the woman when she resisted looting, were arrested last night at Chouhatta village in the Labhpur police station area in Birbhum district, they said.
Four people have been arrested in the case so far.
A woman was allegedly gang-raped after she tried to put up a resistance during a robbery attempt in a train near Katwa in the Burdwan district of West Bengal.
Two days after the incident, chief minister Mamata Banerjee had stated the medical records of the woman showed no rape and the entire incident was concocted. The statement attracted criticism from all sides. Ms Banerjee had also said the woman's husband was a CPM sympathiser. The woman has been a widow for the past 11 years.
The incident occurred at around 7:15 pm last Saturday when the train was passing through the Ahmedpur-Katwa section between the Pachandi and Ambalgram stations. A person allegedly approached the guard and asked him to apply brakes, saying a passenger had fallen on the tracks. The guard alerted the driver, who stopped the train. When he got off the train, a gang armed with guns and choppers surrounded him, pointed a gun to his head and snatched his walkie-talkie, mobile phone and other valuables. They then proceeded to loot the passengers on the train, most of who were daily commuters.
The alleged victim, a widow, told the police that when she tried to object, she was dragged out of the train and raped by five men on the railway tracks.
"They took away jewellery from my hands first, then they tried taking my earrings. I resisted so they started beating me. Then they took away my earrings. They also took away Rs. 1000 from me. Then they dragged me out of the train and raped me. Then one of them asked the others to leave me as I was crying," the woman had said.
