Train hits car, two hurt By Lalit Kumar TIMES NEWS NETWORK Ghaziabad: An ordnance factory works manager and his wife were injured when a train driver ignored a red signal, and rammed into their car. The manned railway crossing’s gate was open when the speeding train hit the Maruti car. Rajesh Goel and his wife, were admitted to a local hospital. According to local rail- way officials, the passenger train from Am- bala was on its wayto Delhi when the acci- dent occured at about 1.30 pm on Monday. But, the staff at the railway crossing, near Delhi Public School, could not close the gates in time. He said, ‘‘Too many vehicles were going across in a stream.’’ The speeding train hit the rear of Goel’s car. The impact of the collission made the rear of the car collapse inwards, and the car was thrown off the track. ‘‘That was what prevented us from being killed,’’said Goel when contacted at the hos- pital. Area railway traffic inspector, P C Shar- ma, who arrived at the crossing soon after the incident, said, ‘‘The fault seems to be that of the driver. You see, until the cross- ing gates are properly closed, the driver continues to get a red signal.’’ Bag-lifters arrested New Delhi: The Delhi railway police have arrested four ‘‘notorious’’ bag lifters oper- ating at railway stations in the city.The ac- cused were caught with two suitcases con- taining Rs 40,000. The accused reportedly revealed that they had been robbing passengers for years. Eight more suitcases were found af- ter the disclosures. The police said that the accused would pose as passengers and fa- miliarise themselves with other passengers and then flee with their luggage. TNN

TNN Hindustan Shipyard Ltd at Visakhapatnam, is the new CMD of Mazagaon Docks Ltd in Mumbai. TNN in Godhra case By Rakesh Bhatnagar TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Could the Gujarat government book the Godhra train carnage accused under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota), when the law was not in force at the time of the incident? The Supreme Court will con- sider this issue on the basis of submissions made by the counsel of four accused in the case. More than a 100 people have been arrested under the Pota in connection with the case. However, in none of the post-Godhra cases have the accused been booked un- der the controversial Act. Salimbhai Abdul Gaffar Shaikh, Mohammed Hussein Abdul Rahim Kalota, Sir- aj Abdullah Jamsa and Mohammed Abdul Sattar Giteli were all arrested on February 27, 2002 — the day the Sabarmati Express was set on fire. They were booked under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code. Some 11 months later, Pota was invoked against them. The counsel of the accused said that since the anti-ter- rorism law was enforced in the state on March 28, 2002, they could not be booked under it. This would violate Ar- ticle 20 of the Constitution, which says a person can be punished only under the law existing on the day of the crime. State government counsel Hemantika Wahi jus- tified the booking of the accused under Pota, saying that certain facts necessitated the action. The Gujarat government has now moved the apex court, challenging a Gujarat High Court order of July 7, granting bail to the accused. The high court had sus- pended its order for four weeks in view of the state gov- ernment’s plea that it would be challenged before the Supreme Court. Qutubuddin Ansari fears for his family in Gujarat TIMES NEWS NETWORK Kolkata: Memories of a riot-torn Gujarat still haunt Qutubuddin Ansari. Wide publicity of his tear-stained face and folded hands, pleading for his life in the face of a mob during the communal riots made life difficult for him in Ahmedabad. The publicity that caused him to be uprooted from his soil is still a reality for him in his adopted home in Kolkata, too. Sitting in his flat at Tiljala, Ansari broke down on Sunday. “If I knew that the media would be after me, I would not have come here,” he said. After reaching here on Saturday,he rang up his family whom he had left behind. “My mother, elder brother and his family are all in Ahmedabad. I am worried not about myself, but about the people I have left behind. What if all this publicity lands them in trouble?” Ansari asked.

Manchester United’s Ruud van Nistelrooy (L) battles for an aerial ball with an Arsenal defender in the FA Community Shield at Cardiff’s Milllenium Stadium on Sunday. United won 5-4 on penalties. Jeffers’ apology: Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers apologised to Gunners’ fans after being sent-off in his team’s Community Shield defeat to Manchester United here on Sunday. Substitute Jeffers, who had only been on the pitch for 14 minutes after re- placing Dennis Bergkamp, was red-carded after lashing out at United’s Phil Neville in the 74th minute. “There was an initial foul by Phil Neville,” said Jeffers. “I made a silly reaction in the heat of the moment. I have apologised my team-mates.” Arsene Wenger, whose side lost on a penalty shoot-out after the Millennium Sta- dium showpiece had ended 1-1 at the end of normal time, said the sending-off by referee Steve Bennett was justified. Everton suffer Campbell setback: Everton captain Kevin Campbell added to the Merseyside club’s forward problems when he limped out of Sunday’s 3-0 pre-season friendly victory over Italian side Bologna at Goodison Park. In the 10th minute former Arsenal striker Campbell sustained an injury to his right leg and went off immediately ahead of next week’s English Pre- miership opener against his old club. Everton won on Sunday with first-half goals from Tomasz Radzinski, substitute Nick Chadwick and a Mark Pembridge strike after the break. Elber feeling Munich heat: Bayern Munich striker Giovane Elber is feeling the intense heat sweeping Germany worse than most with the arrival of Dutch front-man Roy Makaay and the purple patch of Peruvian marksman Claudio Pizarro putting the Brazilian under pressure at the Olympic Stadium. When Bayern signed Roy Makaay for a club record $21 million from Deportivo La Coruna the feeling was that Pizarro would make way so the top scorers last season in the German Bundesliga and Spanish Primera Liga could form a lethal partnership. TV deal: European Union watchdogs are examining the English Premier League’s award of television rights worth more than one billion pounds to see if the bidding was competitive, an official said on Monday. Despite the league’s confidence that it has noth- ing to fear from European Commission scrutiny of the deal, the EU’s executive arm said further information was needed before its blessing can be given. Tilman Lueder, a spokesman for EU Competition Commissioner Mario Monti, said the league had made “tremendous progress” in splitting the one rights package originally on offer into four separate packages. Satellite broad- caster BSkyB was on Friday awarded the rights to all four live packages put out to tender by the Premier League after tabling bids worth a total of $2 billion. AFP
