NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday granted interim bail to the chief executive officer (CEO) of Rau’s IAS Study Circle, Abhishek Gupta, and coaching coordinator Deshpal Singh till December 7. The court stated that bail is the rule and jail is the exception as per the law of the land established by various judgments of the Supreme Court of India. Refusal of bail at this stage (when the investigation is substantially done) would amount to inflicting punishment before the trial, said the court.
Both are accused in a case related to the death of three civil services aspirants in the basement of a coaching center in July in Old Rajender Nagar.
The court of Principal District and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna ordered Gupta to deposit Rs 2.5 Crore with the Red Cross Society till November 30, 2024. The court noted that according to the lease agreement, Gupta, being the lessee of the premises and CEO of the institute, would be responsible for any loss, claim, and damages to any person or material in the scheduled property for any reason.

The court, referring to the agreement, said the safety of the clients, employees, and guests of the coaching center is the sole responsibility of the lessee and not the lessors.

The court said that at this stage, the applicant/accused has already been in custody for more than 54 days. No purpose would be served by further keeping him in custody. The applicant has roots in society, and there is nothing on record to suggest that he can interfere with the process of justice, said the court.

The legal team of Gupta, including senior advocates Siddhartha Luthra, Rebbeca John, and advocate Mohit Saraf, appearing for both the applicants, submitted before the court that till date no officer from the civic authorities has been questioned or booked despite the specific observations of the High Court.
“The incident was unprecedented and could not have been perceived or anticipated. No one could control the heavy inflow of water which occurred due to heavy rains and the failure of the drainage system. The human occupation of the basement was not prohibited. The responsibility of owners or occupiers of the building cannot be stretched beyond a point, particularly when it is clear that civic authorities are responsible for inaction and an idle approach towards maintaining the drainage system,” submitted the counsels.

Other conditions of the bail include furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs one lakh with two sureties of the like amount. The applicant shall join the investigation as and when directed by the court, not leave the country without prior permission of the court, not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat, or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case, provide his mobile number(s) to the investigating officer (IO) and keep them operational at all times. In case of a change of residential address or mobile number, he shall intimate the same to the IO and court by way of an affidavit.

The court said that the basement of the coaching premises was being used in contravention of the rules and regulations. However, at the same time, the failure of civic authorities cannot be ignored, the court noted.

Referring to the Delhi High Court order in August this year while hearing the matter, the court said that the HC in its orders observed that the stormwater drain at the place was dysfunctional and de-silting of the drain in front of the coaching center had not been done and was also encroached and covered by ramps. The civic authorities have failed to take any action against unauthorised activities, noted the court.

Further, the court said that the investigation related to the applicant in the case is substantially complete and the chargesheet would be submitted very soon. Noting that the joint owners of the basement have already been released on interim bail by the Delhi High Court on September 13, the court said the case set up by the prosecution would be tested during the trial on appreciation of evidence.

“The nature and extent of culpability of the applicant/accused would be determined during the trial,” said the court.
Shreya Yadav (25) of Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni (25) from Telangana, and Nevin Delvin (24) from Kerala died after the basement of the building was flooded following heavy rain in central Delhi’s Old Rajender Nagar on July 27.

A total of seven persons were arrested in the case – Manuj Kathuria, the SUV driver, four co-owners of the basement, CEO Abhishek Gupta, and coaching center coordinator Deshpal Singh.

All seven have got bail now.

The man accused of hiding out with a gun near Donald Trump’s Florida golf course in an apparent attempt to assassinate the former US president is due in court on Monday, where prosecutors will argue to keep him in jail until his trial.
Ryan Routh, 58, has been charged with two gun crimes after he allegedly pointed a rifle through the tree line on Sept.15 while the Republican presidential candidate was playing golf at his course in West Palm Beach, according to a criminal complaint. He has not yet entered a plea.
US prosecutors may reveal new details about the investigation at the hearing, scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT), as they argue that Routh poses a danger to public safety and must remain detained pending trial.
Routh has been charged with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. More charges could follow.
A US Secret Service agent spotted the weapon and fired in Routh’s direction, causing the suspect to flee, according to the complaint. Routh was later arrested along a Florida highway. U.S. officials have said Routh did not fire a shot during the encounter at the golf course and did not have a line of sight to Trump, who was a few hundred yards (meters) away.
Authorities have not yet divulged a motive for the incident, which the FBI has said is being investigated as an apparent attempted assassination of Trump ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.
It came about two months after another gunman wounded Trump on the ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. That gunman was shot and killed by the Secret Service. The pair of incidents revealed the agency’s strains at a time of rising political threats and violence in the United States.
Routh, a struggling roofing contractor who most recently lived in Hawaii, had a criminal history. He was a vocal supporter of Ukraine who was interviewed about his quixotic effort to recruit Afghans to fight against Russia’s invasion.
In a 2023 self-published book, Routh wrote that Iran was “free to assassinate Trump” for pulling the United States out of an international nuclear deal with Teheran during his presidency.
In December 2002, Routh was convicted in North Carolina of possessing a weapon of mass death and destruction. He was also convicted of possessing stolen goods in 2010, according to court records.
Cellphone data showed that Routh may have been waiting in the area for nearly 12 hours – from around 2 a.m. until about 1.30 pm – when the gun was spotted, according to the criminal complaint. Investigators found a loaded SKS-style rifle with a scope, a digital camera and a plastic bag with food at the scene, according to the complaint.

Indians and their profound love for sweet indulgence is known to the world so much so that no special occasion is complete without a delightful sweet spread. But you will be amazed to know that there are certain lost sweet treats from different parts of the country that are gradually vanishing with time. Here’s a glimpse of some traditional Indian sweets that are slowly disappearing.
Sarbhaja
Sarbhaja is a traditional Indian sweet from West Bengal, which was made by following an intrinsic process of making a sandwich of milk malai filled with flavoured cardamom and nuts stuffed inside a soft, moist and creamy sweet. Over the years, this sweet treat has slowly disappeared due to the process of making. However, there have been several versions of this traditional sweet, which have paved its way to the plates of sweet enthusiasts.
Thaen Mittai
These classic Orange coloured sweet treats were once of the most widely available sweet treats from Tamil Nadu, South India. This traditional sweet
Thaen Mittai was loved for its amazing amalgamation of rice, urad dal, sugar syrup/honey, food coloring, and oil,which gave this orange coloured candy a delightful taste and texture. In fact, the preparation of this sweet revolved around creating a dough, which was then rolled into small shapes and coated with syrup made from jaggery/honey dependsing on preferences.
Garlic Kheer
Garlic Kheer also known as Benami Kheer is a traditional sweet treat that was once a culinary gem of Awadhi royal cuisine. The unique taste and flavour of this sweet treat needed proper expertise, which gradually led to fading out of this sweet delight. This creamy kheer was known for its unique taste and texture, this kheer also had potent health benefits. In fact, this unconventional dessert may sound odd, but it has a rich tradition of being consumed for its health benefits, particularly during cold seasons.
Tamatar ka Halwa
Hyderabdi Shahjahani Meeta also known as Tamatar ka Halwa is a lesser-known sweet dish from the royal kitchen of Hyderabdi Nizamas. This sweet halwa was loved for its unique taste, texture and amazing flavor. However, over the years this dessert has slowly faded out and lost its essence. This sweet delight was made using ripe tomatoes, khoya, sugar, and flavored with cardamom and nuts.
White Gajar Halwa
White Gajar Halwa is a unique take on the more popular Gajar Halwa made with orange carrots. Using white carrots, which are not as commonly found today, this dish offers a different flavor profile and texture. It’s traditionally made with grated carrots, milk, sugar, and ghee.The preparation method is similar to that of traditional Gajar Halwa, involving slow cooking the grated white carrots in milk until it thickens, then adding sugar and ghee for richness.

SRINAGAR: For the first time since their ancestors migrated from Pakistan to J&K during the 1947 Partition, over 5,000 Hindu families will vote in the ongoing assembly elections.
Forced to live in 39 squalid camps near Jammu for over seven decades because Article 370 on J&K’s special status denied them land and other rights, these refugees are looking forward to the Oct 1 polls as a watershed moment.The right to exercise their franchise follows Article 370’s abrogation in Aug 2019, a move which cleared the way for granting these refugees permanent resident status after decades of political marginalisation.
To add to their political heft, two seats have been reserved for these immigrants in the assembly. The Centre will nominate the two members.
“For us, voting day will be a festival,” said Labhu Ram, president of West Pakistan Refugee Action Committee, adding the families will celebrate the ballot with special dishes like puri-halwa and laddus to express excitement and gratitude for this long-awaited opportunity.
The ancestors of the refugees, numbering around 5,700 and mostly from Scheduled Castes (SCs), have lived so far without many of the rights and privileges enjoyed by residents. “The abrogation brought about a seismic shift in our political status, finally allowing us full participation in the electoral process. Till now, we were living as second-class citizens. This basic democratic right was snatched away from us by those who today claim to safeguard democratic institutions,” said Des Raj, a camp resident, alluding possibly to J&K-based parties.
Some of the refugees were forced to leave areas of Kashmir occupied by Pakistan in 1947, while others came from areas of Sialkot, bordering Jammu. They were provided land in Jammu in 1960s but Article 370 — which barred outsiders from owning land in J&K — meant no ownership rights. This prevented them from getting benefits of govt housing schemes or access to bank loans. These refugee families were treated as “non-state subjects” as they not were not residents of the then princely state of J&K during the 1947 Partition.
Ahead of a Supreme Court-stipulated Sept 30 deadline for holding the assembly polls, J&K administration on Aug 2 this year granted the refugees proprietary rights to the “state land” on which their ancestors were settled by the then govt decades ago.
The Hindu refugees’ livelihood and survival problems date back to the 1974 Partition, based on the nation theory, which led to large-scale cross-border migration and mayhem. In those tumultuous days, many Hindu families fled villages in Pakistan’s Sialkot and came to neighbouring Jammu’s Kathua and RS Pura areas. While some stayed back in Jammu, many others left and settled in Punjab, Delhi and other states of India.
The main reason for the influx into Jammu was connectivity: Sialkot was then linked to Jammu by rail and road. Such people also shared cultural and economic affinity with Dogras of Jammu. According to some historians, many of the refugees had relatives in border villages of Jammu, leading them to be welcomed in the initial years of the crisis.

I spoke to Aamir (Khan, co-producer) as soon as it was confirmed, and then others from our team – Ram Sampath, Sneha Desai, Chhaya Kadam, Ravi Kishan and Divynidhi Sharma. It has been quite overwhelming. This has been such a great year for Indian films and there were so many brilliant films in the mix. It’s a tremendous honour for our entire team.”
