[ad_1]

The CBI has filed the chargesheet against three railway employees who were earlier arrested in connection with the Balasore train accident that killed around 290 people and injured several hundred. The three railway employees Arun Kumar Mahanta, Md Amir Khan and Pappu Kumar have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder and destruction of evidence. The three railway employees were arrested in July, a month after multiple trains collided with each other in Odisha’s Balasore owing to a possible signal failure — killing around 290 people in a ghastly train accident in the history of the Indian Railways. Arun Kumar Mahanta, senior section engineer; Mohammad Amir Khan, section engineer; and technician Pappu Kumar were arrested by the CBI for their role that led to the accident. Dig Deeper

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday doubled down his attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government and alleged that the saffron party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ‘work for two or three billionaires’ in India pointing at recent reports of Adani Group’s alleged stock manipulation. Referring to the reports by Financial Times, Gandhi said the article in the world’s biggest financial newspaper mentioned billionaire Gautam Adani sent ‘thousands of crores of rupees from India and swelled the share prices (of his own firms)’. “Whether the (Congress-led) governments in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh or the forthcoming governments in Telangana and Madhya Pradesh, will be the government of poor not the government of Adani,” the Congress MP said while addressing a rally in the poll-bound Chhattisgarh.

Sports Goings

Virat Kohli failed to get off to a perfect start in India’s Asia Cup 2023 opener against Pakistan, at Pallekele on Saturday. The veteran batter was dismissed for only four runs off seven deliveries, failing to deal with the rampaging Pakistan pace battery. After the match resumed due to rain delay in the fifth over, India got off to a stuttering restart, losing captain Rohit Sharma in the final delivery of the fifth over. Receiving a length ball from Shaheen Shah Afridi, Rohit failed to connect as it nipped past his defence and crashed against off-stump. Rohit could only look in dismay as he walked back to the pavilion with India faltering at 15/1 in five overs. Dig Deeper
