Nearly three decades after her divorce, a Delhi woman has been able to secure maintenance for herself and her son from her former husband in a court here. It took the city's lower judiciary 17 years to decide the woman's maintenance plea, which she had filed belatedly in April 1995, 12 years after her divorce in 1983 due to lack of awareness of her legal rights. As the Tis Hazari courts adjudicated the plea, the woman spent the prime of her life waging a lone legal battle, while her son turned a major and attained an age after which he required no maintenance. A city sessions court finally ordered on March 25 Delhi's Tilak Nagar resident Inderjeet Singh to pay maintenance to his divorced wife Jasbir Kaur, dismissing his appeal against a magisterial court's order for maintenance to her. Inderjeet Singh, a former sergeant with the Indian Air Force, was asked to pay alimony to Kaur by Additional Sessions Judge Rajneesh Kumar Gupta. Singh pleaded to the court that he earlier worked as an IAF sergeant but had quit the job in 1985 and was receiving a paltry sum of Rs 2,500 as pension. He said he had no other earning means.

Thrown out of train, sportswoman wakes up to find her leg amputated A brilliant sports career of national level female athlete has been cut short with the amputation of a leg after being thrown off a moving train near Bareilly early yesterday. The police, however, is trying to make light of the traumatic incident. Twentythree-year-old Sonu Sinha, a national level volleyball player, representing Uttar Pradesh was on her way to Noida on Sunday night by the Delhi-bound Padmawat Express to take a recruitment examination of the CISF when the incident occurred at Chenati railway station just before Bareilly. A shocked Sonu gained consciousness in the Bareilly district hospital today to discover that the doctors had amputated a leg and the other one had multiple fractures. The Bareilly GRP has registered a case against four unidentified people. Speaking to a local channel from her hospital bed, Sonu with her bandaged head disclosed that she had boarded the Delhi-bound Padmavat Express from Ambedkar Nagar for appearing in a Central Industrial Security Force examination in Noida. “I was sitting near the entrance in the general compartment. Some men had been fighting off and on. Around 4 am one of them tried to snatch my gold chain and when I resisted they pushed me off the train. One of my legs was stuck on the adjoining track on which a train was coming. It kept on honking but I did not have the power to move away. When I gained consciousness I was hereâ€, narrated Sonu. However, two senior police officers tried to deflect the blame from their respective departments by giving conflicting versions. Special DG (Law and Order) Brij Lal said that “It appears that she lost balance and fell off the train during a tussle inside the train when some people tried to snatch her gold chainâ€. Similarly, ADG GRP A K Jain said “While fighting someone perhaps reached her throat causing the fall which could be either accidental or deliberate. Still her gold chain is very much with her and her other belongings is also safeâ€. He denied a robbery attempt in the train adding that there were no police personnel on board as due to shortage of force it was not possible to provide security in the 764 trains passing through Uttar Pradesh. Strangely, there was no local police anywhere near the railway track where she fell and local villagers took her to the district hospital where doctors arranged for blood and amputated her leg in order to save her lift.

Many holes in Arunima's story, say railway police LUCKNOW: While injured athlete Arunima Sinha is receiving treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, railway police in Uttar Pradesh said Tuesday they were looking into what they claim to be loopholes in her story. Arunima Sinha was shifted to the AIIMS from Bareilly last week following amputation of her crushed left leg after she was pushed out of a running train in the early hours of April 12. "Our investigations have revealed that Arunima's story has many holes," Additional Director General of Railways Police A.K. Jain told reporters here Tuesday. "We have reason to suspect that she suffered the injuries either in an attempt to commit suicide or she met with an accident, but chose to blame it on crime in the railways," the official said. A resident of Ambedkar Nagar, Arunima said she was pushed out of the general compartment of Padmawati Express while resisting a chain-snatching attempt by some hoodlums. She was travelling from Lucknow to Delhi for a CISF employment test. Her left leg came under the wheels of another train passing on the parallel rail track. Railway police took her to a local district hospital where she lay injured, traumatised for two days before she could narrate the whole incident to the police. Jain said: "Arunima's version does not match with the railway police investigations came up with. It appears that she has been giving wrong facts right from the beginning." "Contrary to her claim, Arunima never had any test scheduled for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on April 12. She had left her home in a huff after being rebuked by her estranged husband in Lucknow," the official said. Jain also said the 23-year-old sportswoman did not lose her left leg as a result of the fall from train. "Her version that her left leg was overrun by a train on the parallel track after she was flung out of the general compartment of the train could not be taken on face value as the distance at which she was found lying in an unconscious state was far more than where she could have fallen in the event of being pushed out," he pointed out. Jain also said he was confident that Arunima's statement about the train running at a high speed was false. "The fact that the train halted at Chanaiti railway station, barely 250 metres ahead of the spot where Arunima was found by the police, further goes to disprove her statement that the train was running at a high speed, because any fast moving train necessarily slows down well before a stoppage," he said. Following wide publicity Arunima Sinha received after the incident, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee offered her a job, while the union government also made arrangements for her special treatment at the AIIMS. Financial assistance also followed as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati announced Rs.1 lakh aid. Other voluntary organisations and individuals also came up with aid offers.
source they say she was also depressed because of the recent divorce and was on her way back from sasuraal :hmmm:

10 killed as air ambulance crashes in Faridabad A small aircraft with seven on board crashed into a colony in Faridabad's sector 22 around 10.45 pm on Wednesday, killing all on board. Three more persons were killed on the ground. The aircraft, a PC-12 with registration number VT-ACF, was operating as an air ambulance and initial reports indicated bad weather was the cause of the accident. The plane fell on two houses in the middle of Parvatia Colony, near Jawahar Colony, NIT, and immediately burst into flames. There were five passengers and two crew members on board. They included the 22-year-old patient, Rahul Raj, an attendant, two doctors, one male nurse, the pilot and co-pilot. Those killed were Dr Rajesh, Dr Arshad, Captain Harpreet, co-pilot Manpreet Kataria, Ratnesh Kumar and male nurse Cyril. Rahul Raj and his cousin, Ratnesh, are residents of Bettiah in West Champaran. Rahul Raj had been admitted in the ICU at Patna's Jagdish Memorial Hospital and was on ventilator support, said Dr Harsh who had accompanied the team to Patna airport. Raj was being brought to Delhi for treatment at Apollo Hospital. His uncle, Anoop Kumar, told TOI that he was being accompanied by a cousin brother. The aircraft was being operated by Air Chartered Services Pvt Ltd, which has an office in Defence Colony. It had taken off from Patna at 8.33pm and was expected to land in Delhi shortly after 11pm. Sources said that last time the plane was seen on the radar was at 10.45pm and the last contact between the pilot and ATC was when the aircraft was at a height of 11,000 ft. According to sources, the aircraft had deviated from its path, possibly due to strong winds. At the time of crash, most aircraft landing at IGI airport were unable to stick to their paths due to strong winds. Parvatia Colony is a densely populated area and officials were expecting casualties to rise. The flames from the houses could be seen from a distance of 1.5km and eyewitnesses said the fire was spreading to other houses. The area had been cordoned off and a huge crowd had gathered at the spot, making rescue work difficult for the police and fire personnel.

He didn’t tell us when he will return: Killed doc’s family Frequently dispatched on air ambulance duties, anaesthetist Rajesh Jain left his home here around 1 pm on Wednesday to ferry a patient from Patna, telling his family that he could not say when he would be back. Little did anyone of them know that he would never return. "Rajesh could not tell us the exact time of his return from Patna. He left home at 1 pm yesterday (Wednesday) and just told us he had to rush to Patna to bring a patient to the hospital by the air ambulance service," his grief-stricken father N.C. Jain said. An anaesthetist at New Delhi's Apollo hospital, Rajesh Jain was killed on Wednesday night when the single engine air ambulance aircraft crashed onto a house in Haryana's Faridabad town, adjoining Delhi. Apart from him, his colleague Syed Arshad Abbas, the patient Rahul, Rahul's cousin, a male nurse and the two pilots and three women in the house were killed in the accident. Speaking at his house in Gautam Nagar here, Jain's father, a retired engineer from the Uttar Pradesh public works department, said his son completed his MBBS from the Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, Meerut, in 1994 and later took a specialised postgraduate degree as an anaesthetist. Rajesh's wife Amita Jain, a software engineer working with an MNC in Greater Noida, was stunned when she learned about her husband's death. Hugging again and again their one-year-old son Shantanu, Amita recalled that Rajesh used to drop her in Noida while on his way to hospital. "We were leading a very happy life. He loved his son very much," she said. Tears rolling down her cheeks, a numb Amita said she did not know how to live the rest of her life. Rajesh's elder brother Rakesh Jain said he had received a phone call around midnight from a family friend Praveen Garg, informing him that a plane carrying a patient to Apollo hospital had crashed in Faridabad and asking him to check with the hospital whether Rajesh was safe. "We called the hospital, but we did not receive any satisfactory reply. A doctor asked us to come to the hospital. They also had come to know that the plane had crashed somewhere in Faridabad," he said. The family members reached the hospital where the hospital management confirmed that Rajesh was among those killed in the crash. Rajesh's body was cremated at Hindon crematorium today, his brother added. "Youngest among the four brothers, Rajesh was brilliant right from the beginning. He was a successful anaesthetist. He had developed skills in bringing critical patients to the hospital," Rajesh's father said. "The hospital used to send him on special occasions when VIP patients were to be brought or sent back. He had visited Nigeria to drop a patient by a chartered plane. Once he went to Mumbai to bring veteran actor Dilip Kumar. He used to visit states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and other places on his assignments," he added.
