Santosh Rai and Rohit Chaturvedi were arrested in Luc- know by the agency sleuths. While Rai is a small-time politi- cal leader, Chaturvedi is Tri- pathi’s cousin. The arrests were an important development in solving the murder mystery, sources said. Tripathi had been arrested by the CBI in September in connec- tion with the murder of 24-year- old Madhumita, who was shot dead at her Paper Mill Colony residence by two assailants on May 9 this year. The murder had created a po- litical furore in Uttar Pradesh leading to sacking of Tripathi from the Mayawati-led UP gov- ernment. The case was later handed over to the CBI for thor- ough probe. PTI

HRD favourite is in trouble
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The HRD ministry’s pet project on elementary education, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), is all set to hit a snag. The government has already reduced the allocation of funds for this project. And foreign donors, which are the ministry’s last hope, are now dragging their feet despite putting the SSA on their fast-track initiative list. In the 10th plan, the ministry is expecting a shortfall of Rs 15,000 crore for SSA alone. Other schemes on basic educa- tion are also likely to suffer due to a cut in fund allocation. The ministry was hoping to make up this deficit by addi- tional foreign grants from the World Bank and the Euro- pean Union, among others. In 2002, these donors had put In- dia along with Pakistan, Bangladesh and other two coun- tries on their fast-track initiative list.
