 Gorakhpur(UP): The main accused in the hooch tragedy in neighbouring Kushinagar district, which left nine people dead, has been arrested in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, police said. The accused, Harendra Yadav, is a native of Bihar and was arrested Wednesday evening. He is likely to be brought to Kushinagar on Friday, Kushinagar SP RN Mishra said. As many as nine people died last week after consuming spurious liquor in an area under the Tarya Sujan police station limits. After registering a case against unidentified people on February 8, police had arrested two people, Rajendra Jaiswal and Hari Nishadand, the SP said. During interrogation of the duo, it surfaced that one Harendra Yadav of Gopalganj, Bihar who is the main accused has escaped soon after the incident. Police traced Yadav's loca- tion using his mobile phone. He was arrested in Rajasthan's Bhilwara, the SP said. PTI %# %#( "%#%( )*+,-).   7

Ahmednagar: Social activist Anna Hazare was on Thursday admitted to a hospital here after complaining of weakness due to lack of blood supply to his brain, doctors said. Hazare, 81, last week broke his week-long fast over his demand for appointment of anti-corruption watchdogs. "Anna is suffering from weakness and other health issues due to lack of blood supply to his brain," Dr Bapu Kandekar, who examined the activist, said. Hazare, who lives in Ralegan Siddhi village in Ahmednagar district, com- plained of some health problems and was brought here in the morning, his aide said.

He said that in the meeting with Khan, Taliban would have “compre- hensive discussions about Pak- Afghan relations and issues per- taining to Afghan refugees and Afghan businessmen”.
