A massive manhunt has been launched even as the high court on Wednes- day directed Surendra to surrender by June 20 in connection with the Prafful Sarees extortion case. Justice D H Waghela directed Surendra to surrender before the Surat police after he moved to withdraw his anticipatory bail appli- cation, following the ob- servation of the court on Tuesday that the pe- tition would be dis- missed otherwise. Surendra Shetty had earlier sought anticipa- tory bail to avoid arrest. According to the po- lice, Surendra had taken the help of underworld don Fazl-ur Rehman, a Malaysia-based gang- ster, to make threaten- ing calls to the owner of Prafful Sarees, Pankaj Agarwal. He had al- legedly sought more money from Agarwal for an advertisement campaign in which Shilpa had been fea- tured. ‘‘We are raiding all the places where the Shetty family may have any connection. We are free to arrest Surendra Shetty as no protection has been granted to him by the high court,” Surat police chief said.

AFP Apex Naga body bids for tribal unity By Bisheshwar Mishra TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A Naga Recon- ciliation Commission (NRC) has been formed by the Naga Ho Ho, the highest tribal body in the state, and the Naga Christian Forum (NCF) in a bid to bring about ‘‘rec- onciliation, unity and inte- gration’’ among the 19 Naga tribes. ‘‘It is being felt that with- out reconciliation among various tribes, a permanent solution to the Naga problem cannot be found. Talking with one or two Naga rebel tribal groups will not help as the solution arrived at may not be acceptable to the other tribal groups,’’ a senior gov- ernment official said. However, the rebel Naga group, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland led by Th Muivah and Isak Swu (NSCN-IM), with which the Centre is engaged in a dia- logue for peace, has opposed the formation of the NRC. In fact, Muivah and Swu have even called members of the NRC, Niketu Iralu, Charlse Chasie and Kak Iralu, as being against the Naga cause. But the Naga Ho Ho — which consists of rep- resentatives of all the 19 Naga tribes each of which TRUE VACATION: A tourist enjoys water skiing on Dal Lake in has its own Ho Ho (represen- Srinagar on Wednesday. tative body) — as well as the Stamp-paper scam: A Nasik Naga Christian Forum have court has remanded nine people castigated Swu and Muivah. to police custody.

Activists want early passage of Women’s Bill
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Women ac- tivists are pleading for the early passage of the pending women’s reser- vation Bill in view of the upcoming assembly polls. This comes even as an all-party meet called by Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi on Mon- day to hear reservations of political parties to the controversial Bill failed to reach a consensus. Women activists, who had gathered outside Par- liament House, wanted to present their memoran- dum to the Speaker in person but were unable to do so as they were inter- cepted and whisked away to various police stations. In the memorandum, later sent to the Speaker, the women’s groups pointed out that there is already a consensus on the Bill, pending since 1996, as there was suffi- cient support in Parlia- ment to get it passed. Expressing reservatio- ns over the alternate pro- posals under discussion, they said these would not guarantee the entry of the required number of women in Parliament and state assemblies. The activists also ex- pressed concern over the shift in the official posi- tion from ‘‘building con- sensus to achieving una- nimity’’. They said an im- pression had gained ground that the Bill will not be put to vote till there is unanimity on it.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: For a man who carries a legacy as baggage, Prakash Amritraj comes across pretty relaxed. “The pres- sure that I put on myself to perform has always been more than the pressure of expectations of others. So there’s no downside to being my father’s son,” he says after romping into the quarterfinals of the GAIL ITF Satellite circuit tournament at DLTA on Wednesday. Vijay Amritraj’s son does seem to have inherited his pen- chant for rushing to the net and playing aggressive tennis. Even before his opponent, Vishal Uppal, conceded to the whims of a suspect shoulder, Prakash had managed to stamp his authority on the match as he led 6-2, 1-0. Then is this the next biggie of Indian tennis? As of now just maybe. It was legs all over again as eighth seed Rohan Gajjar fal- tered 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 to the consistency of Japan’s Takeshi Itoh. After a spell of rain it was pleasant stroking for those who played their matches early. But by the time Rohan’s match wound up, the sun was hot and stoking. Second round (Indians unless specified): P Amritraj b V Uppal 6-2, 1-0 (retd); V Sridhar b D Choi (Kor) 6-1, 6-4; V Kannan b K Fukuda (Jap) 6-4, 7-5; T Itoh (Jap) b R Gaj- jar 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2; B Hung (Hkg) b H Yu (Hkg) 6-3, 6-2; P Simpatiaji (Ina) b S Sipaeya 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2); F Widhiyanto (Ina) b K Tembe 7-6 (3), 6-3; D Kiernan (Gbr) b H Furukawa (Jap) 7-5, 2-6, 6-3.
