HC sets aside life term, says minor charge must fall if main offence not proven
Bhopal/Jabalpur: The MP high court has quashed the life sentence of a man convicted of raping and abducting a minor, ruling that when the main charge fails, other charges in the case can't be sustained. The court's observation came while acquitting Kailash alias Bablu Yadav convicted by a sessions court for abduction and rape with a minor. He was also convicted under the Prevention of Atrocities against SC/ST Act, and was sentenced to life for both. The HC holding that the survivor had gone with Yadav to Damoh on her own to work as a labourer and her age as registered in the school record is suspect said that in the absence of any certificate or document to prove beyond doubt that she is a minor, the accused is acquitted of the charge of abduction and rape. Since he is absolved of the major charges against him, the charge under Prevention of Atrocities against SC/ST Act becomes redundant and he should be released from the jail forthwith.

A Delhi Police constable was injured after his team was attacked by a mob armed with sticks and bricks during a raid on a bootlegger in Southeast Delhi's Badarpur area Monday evening. According to the Delhi Police, they received a credible tip-off at around 7 pm Monday regarding a large consignment of illicit liquor being stored at the residence of Kailash, 63, an allegedly well-known bootlegger with multiple previous cases under the Excise Act. Acting on the tip-off, a raiding team, dressed in civilian clothes, reached the location at the Gautampuri area in Badarpur around 8 pm. 'During reconnaissance, Constables Lakhan and Satbir observed Kailash and an associate selling liquor openly on the staircase. When confronted, Kailash incited the crowd, shouting 'Aaj ek-do ko jaan se maar do tab dhanda theek chalega (Kill one or two of them, only then our business will run smoothly)',' said Hemant Tiwari, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East). In the ensuing violence, Kailash, his wife Seeta, his associate Sameer, a minor, and several others allegedly assaulted the police team using sticks and bricks, said the police. Constable Satbir sustained grievous injuries to the head and body and lost consciousness at the scene. He was immediately shifted to Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar, where doctors declared him unfit for statement. Additional police personnel were called in and managed to control the situation. Kailash, Sameer, and the 17-year-old boy were apprehended on the spot, while others managed to flee in the chaos. Seeta was later arrested, said the police.

After 5 years, India to issue visas to Chinese tourists
India will start issuing tourist visas to Chinese nationals after a gap of five years, the Indian Embassy in Beijing announced on Wednesday. The announcement, that was called 'positive' by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, marks another step in normalising India-China ties ruptured by the military standoff at the Line of Actual Control and Galwan clashes in 2020. According to an official notice posted online and on Chinese social media, the visas can be applied for online beginning from Thursday and obtained after an appointment at the Indian Embassy in Beijing and consulates in Shanghai and Guangzhou. Amidst the bonhomie, Beijing rejected concerns in Delhi and Dhaka about China's latest dam project on the Yarlung Sangpo or Brahmaputra River in Tibet and said it had communicated with both the governments. Responding to a question about the visa issuance on Wednesday, a Chinese MFA spokesperson said that Beijing had taken note of the 'positive move'. 'Easing cross-border travel is widely beneficial. China will maintain communication and consultation with India to further facilitate travel between the two countries,' said spokesperson Guo Jiakun in Beijing. After the Covid pandemic and then violence between the two militaries after China amassed troops at the LAC, both countries had cancelled all flights and most visa services between them. China restored visa applications for Indian students in 2022 and for business and tourism purposes subsequently. It issued an estimated 85,000 visas between January and June 2025. India had issued visas in business and student categories, but not for tourism until now. According to the Ministry of Tourism figures in 2019, before the lockdown, more than 3,00,000 Chinese tourists had visited India and about 8,69,000 Indian tourists had gone to China. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Kazan last October and agreed to restore ties, a series of high-level meetings discussed the next steps, including the start of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. Most recently, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar travelled to China on July 14-16, and met with his counterpart Wang Yi, and also called on Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vice-President Hang Zheng, before attending the SCO Council for Foreign Ministers. In an interview to The Hindu, Chinese Ambassaor Xu Feihong said that resuming the Kailash pilgrimage was 'an important initiative taken by China to improve relations between the two countries', indicating that it was India's turn to take the next positive step. Both sides are also working on resuming direct flights between the two countries soon, understood to be announced before PM Modi's visit to China for the SCO summit, which is expected on August 31-September 1, officials said. When asked by reporters about the hydropower project being constructed on the Yarlung Sangpo, Mr. Guo said that it was 'fully within China's sovereignty'. 'China is engaged in cooperation with downstream countries on sharing hydrological data, flood prevention and disaster reduction,' he said, adding that Beijing has had the 'necessary communication' with India and Bangladesh. Construction for the massive 60,000 MW Medog Hydropower station, set to be the world's largest, began last week, and was flagged off by Chinese Premier Li Qiang. In a response in Parliament, the government had said that India had 'registered its concerns' with China over the ecological and disaster risks of the project in December 2024, while the Bangladesh's Ministry of Water Resources had also requested Beijing's response on its concerns in March this year.
