Sexual harassment case: Suspended Aligarh Muslim University professor sent to jail

Suspended chairman of department of law Aligarh Muslim University was sent to jail after his bail plea was rejected.

The matter is now scheduled to be taken up in the court of the Additional District Judge today.
Prof Shabbir was suspended in the first week of December following a charge of sexual harassment by a girl student.

He eluded arrest for four weeks before suddenly presenting himself before the court and securing interim bail earlier this month.

On December 3, the girl, studying LLM, had filed a complaint alleging that the professor had indulged in sexual harassment when she met him in connection with a project report.

The university authorities had referred the matter to the Women Complaint Cell and after its report, the professor was suspended on December 5.

NEVER Get Involved With A Married Man

The reasons to not get involved with a married man are plenty — heartbreaks, being called the 'other woman' so on and so forth. Here are some sound reasons as to why you shouldn't be dating a married man

Wrong

No matter how much you try to prove yourself right — there are no justifications when it comes to dating a married person. It is considered to be 'ethically wrong' and could hamper your life in more ways than one.

Second best 

When you get involved with a married man, no matter how much he claims you to be his true love, at the end of the day, his wife and family (kids) will be his first priority. Remember that he will come up with a host of excuses to cover up for cheating on his family — but when it comes to choosing between his family and you, it will always be his family.

Lies 

Another reason to not get involved with a married man is lies. Men who have a wife and children at home, will lie to you endlessly for not being able to meet up with you, or not being able to accompany you for shopping or a movie.

Would you like it? 

Just for a second, wait and think. Had you found out that your husband is cheating not only on you but your kids as well — would you approve of it? Let it pass by? Cheating in any form is disgraceful. More than that, you can never guarantee that he will leave his wife and kids and accept you legally.

Dedicated Call Centre For Women Security Launched

A dedicated call centre and an information technology (IT) forum are among a slew of measures announced by police and Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) on Wednesday for enhancing security of women employees in the IT Corridor. Apart from an 'IT Women Forum', the SCSC has decided to set up a call center under the chairmanship of additional deputy commissioner of police Janaki Sharmila. This was announced by Cyberabad police and honchos of IT companies during the launch of 'Education Campaign On Women Safety' with five videos in the presence of hundreds of IT employees on Ascendas campus to announce the security measures exactly two moths after the 23-year-old techie's abduction and rape case.

Speaking on the occasion, Cyberabad police commissioner CV Anand said existing 47 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and soon-to-be acquired CCTV cameras would have night vision facility. SCSC authorities said it would be done in the next three to four months. Both police and IT honchos appealed to IT employees, especially women, to prefer APSRTC as their mode of transport as it was safe compared to other private transport facilities. However, SCSC secretary V Srinivasa Prasad said that plans were afoot to set up pre-paid auto stands like the ones at major railway stations. The authorities assured that it would be risk-free since only auto drivers whose background check has been checked and registered would be allowed at pre-paid stands.

"We want all malls, business establishments in the IT corridor to get their CCTV network connected to the Cyberabad police network so that monitoring can be done by police too,'' Anand said. Tennis star Sania Mirza said, "Men who commit atrocities like the ones perpetrated on Abhaya and Nirbhaya are animals. I suggest all women use pepper sprays whenever someone stares at you.'' Sania, who acted in one of the five short films, said. Along with Sania, director-general of police (DGP) B Prasada Rao and other participants stressed on the need for woman employees to always carry a pepper spray. In the IT corridor, a team, comprising of 80 dedicated police personnel, would perform their duties and the government would spend Rs two crore per month for meeting security needs of the corridor. On the occasion, the Cyberabad police have started a women helpline 9494731100.

The five videos demonstrate how gullible females could fall prey to the designs of miscreants out of negligence and not taking proper precautions. The videos dwell on how to avoid getting into trouble and how to deal during the crisis. In her video, Sania Mirza dwells on dos and don'ts. These videos would be played through various media and they would be used by IT companies to educate their employees and during induction programme for new employees. A special mobile app (Application) has also been developed. APIIC managing director Jayesh Ranjan said as of now there was only 17% green cover in the IT corridor and it would be improved to 30%. He said APIIC would soon come out with four campaigns 'Cycle to Work', 'Every Building has to be Green Building', 'Disabled-Friendly Buildings', 'Improving Green Cover, Save Water'.

Breast Cancer - Self Examination

Self-examination can go a long way in identifying breast cancer in its early stages and mitigating its effects.

Here is how you can go about it:

How should I do it?

In front of a mirror, inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms. Look for any changes in contour swelling, dimpling of skin, or changes in the nipple.

Lie down with your fingers flat and move gently all over the breast. Check for lumps, hard knots, or thickening by moving fingers in a uniform pattern.

Squeeze each nipple gently between thumb and index finger. Any discharge, clear or bloody, should be reported to your doctor immediately.

When should I do it?

Many physicians and cancer organizations recommend that breast self-examinations be performed once each month beginning at age 20 and should continue each month throughout a woman’s lifetime.

Follow the same procedure once a month about a week after your period, when breasts are usually not tender or swollen.

Why Hrithik Roshan, Sussanne Split

Bollywood's golden couple Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan have ended their marriage. Sources cite several reasons why a reconciliation does not seem possible, one of which is Sussanne's terminal boredom with her husband who, she felt, had become obsessed with his career and his undeniable good looks. The wife felt neglected. Rumours of an open marriage has been dodging the couple for some time with names of other equally beautiful people like Barbara Mori and Arjun Rampal adding to a sizzling narrative of a marriage unraveling.

The final nail comes in the form of a rather mundane familial trouble: saas-bahu friction. Friends of the couple close to the development told Mumbai Mirror that Sussanne wanted Hrithik to move out of the family home Palazzio in Juhu but the star was not keen to leave his parents and his divorced sister.

Not that Sussanne had to share a small flat with caviling in-laws. The couple had their own independent floor but the escalating tensions between the bahu and the in-laws would not be contained in that building, and culminated with a blazing row between Sussane and Pinky Mum-in-law Roshan some days ago leading to this denouncement.

Miss International 2013 pageant Gurleen Grewal Interview

I REPRESENT A BILLION HOPES: GURLEEN GREWAL

Growing up as an Army kid was an adventure for Gurleen Grewal, who packed her bags every three years to start life afresh in a new city. As she gets ready to leave for Tokyo for the Miss International 2013 pageant on December 17, she can't help but draw parallels between the two. "I am used to going to new places and making friends within days. All that I've learnt till now will help me when I meet girls from other countries at the pageant. Tokyo is the land of the rising sun. I hope my destiny also rises there," she says.

Since her crowning, Gurleen has worked hard for the pageant. "Fitness was something I've put my soul into. It's so critical to be well groomed, so I gave it everything possible." For the talent round, she will perform a fusion of Kathak and western dance to the song In Aankhon Ki Masti Mein, choreographed by Shiamak Davar. For the finale, she will wear a glamorous gown by Falguni and Shane Peacock.

Like any other girl her age, Gurleen says she didn't have a goal when she participated in the pageant. She had finished her bachelor's in commerce, when she decided to test fate. "I didn't have a goal back then. But when I was crowned, I soon transitioned from a girl at 19 to a woman at 20. I have many more responsibilities now. I am no longer Gurleen, but a representative of India. If I win, India will be crowned. I represent a billion hopes and I hope to fulfill those," she concludes.
