Chargesheet filed in prostitution racket in city TIMES NEWS NETWORK Chandigarh: The city police presented its chargesheet in the district court on Friday in the case of a prostitution racket be- ing operated here and in Delhi, allegedly by Delhi-based Kam- lesh Verma, alias Kiran Verma. Police here revealed that the racket was brought to light fol- lowing the arrests on May 26 of three women and a man outside a discotheque. Kiran Verma was arrested by the Delhi Police and brought here on July 2. It is reportedly the fourth such case in which she has been booked. Kiran’s foray into this trade, police said, started more than a decade ago. She quit once, only to return again. Later she built a dance and music troupe, un- der the garb of which she oper- ated the racket. Police said that they ob- tained information about the racket from the girls coming from Delhi. The mobile phone numbers of these girls had been circulated among the Del- hi clientele. The three girls who were ar- rested were all in their early to mid-20s. Two of them were from Rohini in Delhi and one who had recently shifted from Rohini to Panchkula. Investigations have revealed that they were frequent visitors to Chandigarh and other cities of Punjab.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Railway minister Nitish Kumar escaped a major embarrassment during question hour in the Rajya Sabha on Friday. The first question of the day on rail bridges, which could have led to a mini-discussion on rail safety,wasn’t field- ed, and another on accidents was taken up last, thus giving the minister a breather. Yet, the few minutes spent on the question on accidents were enough to generate heat in the House. Saifuddin Soz (Congress), whose question was taken up, termed railway employees responsible for accidents as ‘‘murderers’’. He sought to know what action had been taken against the erring employees in the last three years. Nitish Kumar played with data, saying action had been taken against 2,586 employees in the last five years. But Soz insisted that the minis- ter should give details of punitive meas- ures so that he could challenge the system of punishment. With time running out, Kumar merely reiterated that punishment can go up to dismissal from service. This led the Opposition members to question the minister’s answer. Once the chairman declared that Question Hour was over,Soz raised a point of order which was turned down.

Leander Paes arrives to attend a fashion show in Mumbai on Thursday night. Looking forward to Prakash: Leander By Akshay Sawai TIMES NEWS NETWORK Mumbai: Leander Paes had a case of yawns in the city that never sleeps. The tennis star is in Mumbai to un- wind after a strenuous but fecund European summer. But on Thursday, television commitments did not leave him much time to rest. Leaving aside a few drowsy spells, though, Leander was living it up in Mumbai. ‘‘I have been hanging with friends and family, listening to music, going out dancing,’’ the Wimbledon mixed doubles champion said. ‘‘The rigours of the Tour were showing and I had to get away from the court. I will start preparing for the US Open in about ten days.’’ There is more to Indian tennis today than Leander and Mahesh (Bhupathi) thanks to Sania Mirza and Prakash Amritraj. Leander doffed his hat to the two youngsters. About Sania, who won the junior girls doubles title at Wim- bledon, he said: ‘‘It’s nice to see a young girl do well and her victory is fantastic for women’s sport in our country.Sania has the talent. But there’s a lot of hard work ahead, and she will need real support the next few years.’’ Prakash emerged as the first Indian since Leander to win a round in an ATP Tour event when he reached the sec- ond stage at Indianapolis a few days ago. ‘‘He has improved a lot in the last year and a half and we look forward to hav- ing him in the Davis Cup team,’’ Leander said. ‘‘We need some fresh blood.’’ A couple of years ago Mumbai became one of Leander’s bases, Kolkata and Orlando being the others. The Davis Cup stalwart said each city gave him something special. ‘‘Kolkata was where I was brought up, I have special mem- ories of it,’’ he said. ‘‘Orlando was where I moved to hone my skill as a youngster. It gave me the opportunity to make it in tennis. It’s also a good get-away.Mumbai has the ener- gy of New York, but it is like Los Angeles when you think about the people who come here with stars in their eyes. It has the hustle-bustle, and that’s why I love it.’’ INDIANS ABROAD Ghate nears 2nd GM norm Edenburg (Scotland): Swati Ghate increased chances for obtaining her second Woman Grandmaster norm after settling for a friendly draw with compatriot GM Surya Shekhar Ganguly in the fourth round of the Smith and Williamson British Chess Championship here. Draws were the order of the day on top boards on Thursday and that enabled GM Ziaur Rahman of Bangladesh and Daniel Gormally of England to join overnight English leaders Adam Hunt and Aaron Summerscale in the lead on 3.5 points.

However, India suffered a setback when Mumbai’s 17-year old Aditya Mehta went down fighting to James Delahunty of Australia 2-5.
