Will pay India in its own coin: Islamabad

-

India claims Jadhav retired from the navy and became a businessme­n and that Pakistan picked him up from Iran where he was on business. Pakistan claims he is an Indian spy.

After visiting an army camp at Sunjuwan where six soldiers and a civilian were killed in a terror attack on Sunday, India’s defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman accused Pakistan of helping Jaish-e-mohammed (JEM) militants launch the attack. She also warned that Pakistan “will have to pay for this misadventu­re”.

India has long asked for JEM chief Azhar to be designated an internatio­nal terrorist by the UN, a move that has been blocked by Pakistan’s ally China.

But her Pakistani counterpar­t said in his statement that India had “failed to deliver justice to the 42 Pakistanis murdered in the Samjhauta Express” bombing in 2007.

“India is destabilis­ing regional peace in word and deed, through irresponsi­ble statements on nuclear deterrent and through its bloody, five-fold escalation in 2017 of attacks on unarmed civilians on the Line of Control and working boundary,” he added.

Pakistan’s armed forces are “alive to all possibilit­ies, and prepared fully to defend our country’s territoria­l integrity”, Khan said.

“An aggressive Pak-centric doctrine and arrayed forces under a belligeren­t regime leading to possible strategic miscalcula­tion by India will seriously impact the strategic stability in South Asia,” he added. Ashish was seen. The family had not told the police about this when they filed the complaint that the boy was missing.

Sakya was arrested and the body recovered on Tuesday morning, 37 days after he kidnapped the boy at around 5.20 pm on January 7, police said.

The arrest happened after the boy’s mother, Neelam, got suspicious and insisted last week that the police be informed about Sakya’s invitation to her son on the day of his disappeara­nce.

Sakya and the boy lived in the same neighbourh­ood in Nathupura in Swaroop Nagar. Ashish’s father, Karan Saini, owns a small department store in the neighbourh­ood. Three years ago, when Sakya moved out as a tenant at one of the houses owned by the boy’s family, he rented a room four houses down the road from the Sainis.

The DCP quoted Sakya as saying that while he was close to most of the boy’s relatives, the child’s parents despised him and even abused him in private. “The boy’s grandfathe­r treated Sakya almost like his fourth son and this was not liked by the child’s parents,” said Khan.

The police said that Sakya’s plan was to first kill Ashish and then demand a ransom of ~15-20 lakh from his parents.

It is as yet unclear how he thought he would have managed to get the money without being able to return the child to his parents, or giving proof that the boy was still alive. “On my brother’s birthday on December 19, uncle [Sakya] had promised to give him a bicycle. On January 7, he asked him to meet him at his room at 5.30 pm,” said Ashish’s elder sister.

According to the police, when Ashish entered Sakya’s room, the man first played with him for around 10 minutes. The boy then mentioned that his parents disliked Sakya and had asked him to not have much to do with him, the DCP said.

“Sakya already planned the murder. The boy’s revelation acted as a trigger. He used his woollen scarf to smother the boy. He then wrapped the body in a plastic mat and stuffed it in a blue suitcase before hiding it in his bed box,” Khan said.

Sakya wanted to make the ransom call, but not before disposing the body. He found this difficult because of the presence of the police after the kidnapping had been reported and CCTV cameras in the neighbourh­ood, the officer added. shift to T2 as long as they collective­ly met the yardstick of onethird passenger traffic volumes of their operations at T1.

The bench said if DIAL gets any such request within the deadline, it should take a decision in a week. If no such request is made, the airport operator should fix a deadline for shifting one-third of the two airlines’ flights to T2 after written intimation.

While upholding DIAL’S decision in December, the single judge had given the airlines time till February 15 to partially shift their operations.

Goair has already shifted all its operations to T2, saying a partial shift would “kill” it as it was a smaller airline. have already surrendere­d the group housing land because the authority failed to give me possession. If there is no group housing land with me then how can there be diversion. The YEIDA still needs to refund me more than R100 crore for the land, the possession of which wasn’t given to me .”

Another claimed it couldn’t have diverted the amount YEIDA claimed it had, although it admitted its project was delayed.

Sunworld Infrastruc­ture limited director Sanjeev Gupta said: “We have collected only R23 crore from the home-buyers in our housing project then how can we divert R47.55 crore. We have not diverted any amount and we are asking buyers to shift to other projects because of the delay or take their money back.”

YEIDA is yet to provide facilities such as drinking water, roads, parks and offer possession of the group housing land properly, said the builders.

Sanjay Nagar, promoter of Oasis Realtech private limited said: “The committee is making baseless allegation­s because we have not diverted any money. We had explained to the committee how we used the money collected from buyers. Instead of providing water, roads and other facilities, (YEIDA) officials are involved in tarnishing the image of builders, who want to deliver flats.”

Executives at the three other developers named, Three C developers, SDS Infracon private limited and Green Bay Infrastruc­ture private li mited, couldn’t be reached for comment despite repeated attempts.

“Twenty builders did not divert funds collected from homebuyers. But we have issued notices to them too as they need to pay up land dues of the government. A total of 28 builders have failed to clear R3,514 crore land dues to the authority (government). We sent notices to all 28 builders directing them to either pay up or face action,” said Singh.
