Pallavi Gogoi, a chief editor at National Public Radio in the US, alleges M.J. Akbar raped her when she worked under him at The Asian Age in the 1990s.
Day after verdict, Hazira, who lost her 17-year-old son, says at least the children & grandchildren of the convicted will know they were not cops but killers.
Megha Sharma called the police after being allegedly harassed by a guard, and was forced to strip because she was being ‘dragged’ to the police station.
When he was asked why he was so loud in his criticisms of Indian industry when his purpose could be better served by a shrewder approach, he said, “Because I am a Punjabi, not a Marwari”.
New bill aims to fix key issues with IBC 2016, including delays & patchy implementation, and protect creditors, with window for genuine promoters to retain control of their companies.

Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Is there something called ‘absolute truth’? And if there is, who adheres to absolute truth…only those who are completely ethical, uncompromising and fearless of the consequences. Yudhishtra, the eldest Pandava was an example of someone who believed in absolute truth. It is plausible that someone is almost instigating US-based, liberal, well-educated, professionally well-entrenched Gogoi to invoke the ‘rape’ word (say ‘Ashwathama is dead’, forget the truth, look at the context). In this sordid drama, sides will be taken, and those supporting Gogoi will simply ignore the statement made by Akbar’s wife. Why did Mallika choose to speak now? Well, not because Akbar is a saint, but perhaps because she knows that Gogoi has crossed the threshold of personal ethics.
Can anyone doubt the truth of this searing indictment … I think the women should bring criminal charges against this predator. He needs to be put away for a long time. This incident also underlines how much a job means to a young, middle class woman, how much abuse she might sometimes be willing to endure to save it. That is what gave Akbar his power, not his silly turn of phrase. After he entered politics, his journalism was gone, in any case.
