BCCI staffer

The sight of Tambe usually meant good news for the players. Apart from delivering the Cups to champion teams, he was also the one who would send telegrams informing players of their selections. “I have sent telegrams of their selection to Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Gundappa Viswanath and Kapil Dev. I have carried the BCCI awards (CK Nayudu) to Lala Amarnath’s and Kapil Dev’s residences in Delhi,” said Tambe, recalling his association with top cricketers.

“I also delivered the official BCCI letter to Tendulkar’s father informing him of his son’s selection in the Indian team in 1989. Polly Umrigar, who then worked with the Board, sent me because I lived close to their house in Bandra. His father was ecstatic and I struck a good rapport with Sachin. He would always enquire in Marathi: “How are you, kaka (uncle)?”

Tambe’s travel entitlement was upgraded to 2nd A/C train travel about five years ago. Until then, when he was given only 2nd-class fare. “The Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy weigh around 15kg and are made of silver. It required me to be very alert. I took care of them like a child and never slept when I travelled by second class,” he said.

Tambe wasn’t immune to the odd brush with the security either. “Once I was taking the Ranji Trophy to Baroda for the Railways vs Baroda final. The security stopped and questioned me, saying it was too big. Only after a senior Railways officer spoke to them did they let me go.”

He knew almost all India cricketers, but ask Tambe about his favourites he names two of the most dashing players from the 1960s and ’70s -- Farokh Engineer and Salim Durrani. “Engineer used to call me dikra (son in Parsee) and Durrani always asked after me,” he said.

Indian cricket will miss Tambe as a bridge that connected the old with the new. acterised as ‘rarest of rare’ that warrants the award of the death penalty for Kapoor and Shukla,” the high court bench said in its 41-page judgment.

The judges observed that it was not clear as to which of the three accused had actually killed Jigisha’s murder even though it was proved beyond doubt all three were involved in the crime.

The victim’s mother Sabita Ghosh told Hindustan Times: that the court’s decision had left her “disheartened” and “discouraged”. “Why is there hesitation to hand out the harshest punishment when the crime has been established without any suspicion?” t he 59-year-old asked.

She said the family would appeal against the case in Supreme Court.

In an incident that had made the headlines for weeks, Jigisha, then 28 years old, was kidnapped and murdered on the night of March 18, 2009 — minutes after she stepped out of her office cab near her home in CPWD Colony in south Delhi’s Vasant Vihar. She was speaking on the phone to her colleague in her office when the three drunk men approached her on the pretext of seeking direction.

They then pulled her into their Hyundai Santro car and drove away. The three robbed her, forced her to divulge her debit card PIN, before smothering her to death and dumping the body on the side of a Faridabad roadside, where it was recovered three days later. The police zeroed in on the three accused within a week of the crime after obtaining CCTV footage of the areas around the shops from where the accused had bought expensive sunglasses, shoes and wrist watches using Jigisha’s ATM card. human rights. Pakistan insists Jadhav is a serving naval officer but India has maintained he had left the service and was running a business in the Iranian port of Chabahar when he was kidnapped by Pakistani intelligence in 2016.

Sentenced to death last year by a military court for alleged involvement in spying, Jadhav also said in the video that he was grateful to the Pakistan government for arranging the meeting with his wife and mother.

But he added: “I saw fear in the eyes of my mother and my wife. Why should there be fear? Whatever has happened has happened. There shouldn’t be fear in the eyes of my mother and my wife. They’ve been threatened. “The Indian diplomat or the Indian person who had come along with my mother was shouting on (sic) my mother the moment she stepped out, he was yelling at her,” he added.

Jadhav and his wife and mother were separated by a glass screen during the 40-minute meeting and spoke through an intercom. India has already criticised Pakistan for the treatment of the women and said Jadhav had appeared to be under considerable pressure.

Pakistan also took away the shoes of Jadhav’s wife, saying they contained a “metal chip” but India dismissed this as absurd. This is the third video of Jadhav released by Pakistan since he was captured in March 2016. Prime Minister’s Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY), small accounts and Basic Savings Bank Deposit (BSBD) accounts, pensioner, minor and all social beneficiary accounts are exempted from MAB requirement, and no charges ever have been recovered.”

Another official in the know of the changes said that the bank would announce the new rules shortly.

“A bank is like a purse for the common people but their trust in it is being eroded due to the various fees and fines that are being levied these days. Keeping their social responsibility in mind, banks should have different fees and penalties for different categories of customers,” said G Gurucharan, former secretary in the ministry of consumer affairs.
