mother fled her in-law's Ahouse after killing her new- born third girl child. The shocking incident took place on Monday night in Abupur locality under Niwari police station. The police said Noor Mohammad, a resident of Abupur was married to Rukhsar a resident of Delhi about four years ago. During their four year wedlock, Rukhsar gave birth to two girls, who are now 3, and 2 years of age respectively. About a month ago Rukhsar gave birth to third girl child in a Delhi hospital. But she aban- doned the baby in the hospital and reached to her parental house. During this period the in laws family nurtured the baby and took her to home after she was discharged from the hospital. After a month, on Monday Rukhsar reached her in law's house along with three four persons and asked the husband for the custody of the baby girl as she wanted to take the baby to her parental home. The husband and family refused to do so. Then Rukhsar decided to stay in his law's house. Finding an appropriate time during night, she strangled the child to death and fled the home. In the morning when the family came to know that Rukhsar is not in the house and child is dead, they rushed the child to a nearby private doctor where he confirmed that the child is dead.

The Surat court was on Tuesday hearing a complaint of BJP legislator Purnesh Modi who alleged that the Congress leader had defamed the entire Modi community with his remark that “how come all thieves have Modi as common sur- name” made during the Lok Sabha campaign. On May 2, court had ordered summons be issued to Gandhi through LS Speaker as he was an MP. But since there was no clarity over who would be the Speaker post-election, no summons was issued, said Purnesh Modi’s lawyer Hasmukh Lalwala. He had filed an application seeking the court issue a summons which could be directly served on Gandhi, which was accepted by the court on Tuesday, the lawyer said.    ! " . 7
