Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies in Maharashtra – on November 10 and 18 – as part of his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ that will arrive in the state on Monday, a senior party leader said. The yatra that began on September 7 from Kanyakumari, is scheduled to reach Madnur Naka at Deglur in Maharashtra’s Nanded district from neighbouring Telangana at 7 pm on November 7.

In other news, the accident in Palghar that claimed the life of Cyrus Mistry, the former head of Tata Sons, on September 4 took place after the car he was travelling in overtook a heavy vehicle from the left side, which is a traffic rule violation, the Palghar police has said. The statement, released two months after the accident, comes after the police recorded the statement of Darius Pandole, one of the two survivors of the tragedy in which Jehangir Pandole, Director for Global Strategy at KPMG, was also killed. The car was being driven by Dr Anahita Pandole, a gynaecologist and wife of Darius, who is undergoing physiotherapy at a hospital.

2011 Mumbai triple blasts: Trial pending over a decade, accused moves court for regular hearing

An accused in the 2011 Mumbai triple blasts, also known as 13/7, on Friday approached the Bombay High Court yet again, seeking a regular hearing in the case ahead of the commencement of the trial even after more than 10 years.

The applicant — Nadeem Akhtar Shaikh — has written to the court, stating that it was a ‘condemnable violation’ of the speedy trial process as the case has been progressing slowly. Shaikh alleged that the prosecution had adopted a delay tactic to keep the accused in jail for a long time. Shaikh has sought for a full-day trial once or twice a week as the case has been pending for over a decade.
