			<title>Kejriwal accused the BJP of using false charges to imprison people and questioned who would compensate those subjected to imprisonment and alleged mental harassment. NEW DELHI: AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday reacted sharply to the arrest of former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in an alleged corruption case linked to the Delhi Jal Board, accusing the BJP of targeting political opponents and calling the action part of its &#8220;dictatorship&#8221;.Jain was arrested by the Delhi government&#8217;s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in connection with alleged irregularities in the tendering process for the augmentation and upgradation of sewage treatment plants of the Delhi Jal Board. Five others were also arrested in the case, including former DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, former contractual consultant Ankit Srivastava and three private individuals.Reacting to the arrest, Kejriwal said, &#8220;Satyendra Jain ji has once again been arrested at the behest of the BJP. Just a short while ago, everyone still remembers the ordeal they put him through by throwing him in jail. The previous case was fabricated too, and this case will also be proven to be fake.&#8221;Kejriwal accused the BJP of using false charges to imprison people and questioned who would compensate those subjected to imprisonment and alleged mental harassment.&#8221;How long will the BJP&#8217;s dictatorship continue like this? Whoever they feel like, they slap false charges on and toss into jail. Their lies will once again be exposed before the nation, but who will compensate for the time spent in jail and the mental torture endured?&#8221; he said.The AAP leader further said the BJP had crossed a threshold with the arrest and claimed that the Modi government would eventually lose power.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines&#8221;The cup of the BJP&#8217;s sins has now overflowed.

			<title>FIP has identified certain medicines that may impact flight safety by causing drowsiness or sedation; impairing judgement or reaction time; reducing alertness and resulting in a positive or non-negative drug test. NEW DELHI: As the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) reviews the dope test requirement for flight crew members, the Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has asked the regulator to amend the current requirement for an operator to subject at least 10 per cent of pilots to this test annually to at least 25 per cent. FIP president Captain CS Randhawa has said in a mail to DGCA chief Vir Vikram Yadav that all stakeholders must establish a pilot “psychoactive-substance and medication awareness programme” to make sure every pilot understands “certain prescription medicines, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, herbal preparations, supplements and other commonly available products may contain substances that can affect alertness, performance or produce a finding in a drug or alcohol test.”FIP has identified certain medicines that may impact flight safety by causing drowsiness or sedation; impairing judgement or reaction time; reducing alertness and resulting in a positive or non-negative drug test. “Particular attention should be given to: cough and cold preparations, as some preparations may contain alcohol, sedating antihistamines or other active ingredients that may affect fitness for duty. Antihistamines and anti-allergy medicines (that may)may cause significant sedation and impaired alertness; sleep and anxiety medicines; strong pain-relieving medicines; prescription psychiatric or neurological medicines; herbal and traditional medicines and supplements and performance products and alcohol-containing medicines and preparations.” It has recommended a “check before you take” principle for pilots and that they should not start taking a new medicine without checking it for these things.“A minimum percentage established several years ago should not remain static when the aviation environment, fleet size, pilot population and operational intensity have changed substantially. For pilots entrusted with the lives of passengers and crew, random psychoactive substance testing must be sufficiently frequent, genuinely random and unpredictable to provide meaningful deterrence and continuous safety assurance.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines The objective should not merely be to achieve an annual numerical target, but to establish a testing regime in which the possibility of selection remains credible throughout the year,” FIP president Captain C S Randhawa wrote to the DGCA chief Vir Vikram Yadav.Since the result of a urine test takes a long time and the percentage of tests have sought to be increased, the pilots’ body has asked DGCA to consider “validated oral-fluid testing as a complementary methodology, alongside the established urine-testing system.”Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Tejpal was convicted under Sections 376 (2)(f) (person who is a guardian or in a position of trust or authority rapes a woman). NEW DELHI: The Goa government on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking enhanced punishment for rape convict and former editor of Tehelka magazine Tarun Tejpal, reported news agency ANI.The Bombay high court (Goa) had recently convicted and sentenced Tejpal to ten years of rigorous imprisonment in the rape case.Tejpal was convicted under Sections 376 (2)(f) (person who is a guardian or in a position of trust or authority rapes a woman), 354-A (sexual harassment) and 354-B (using criminal force on a woman with an intent to disrobe her) of the IPC.Section 376(2)(f) of the IPC applies when a person in a position of trust, authority or a guardian/relative commits rape.Section 354-A IPC penalises sexual harassment committed by a man and covers unwelcome physical contact, demands for sexual favours, showing pornography without consent and making sexually coloured remarks.Section 354-B of the IPC penalises any man who assaults, uses criminal force or abets such an act against a woman with the intent to disrobe her or compel her to be naked.The conviction came 13 years after the alleged assault inside an elevator of a five-star hotel in Goa during a Tehelka event.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe Bombay high court overturned the trial court&#8217;s 2021 acquittal, found Tejpal guilty of rape and sentenced him to 10 years&#8217; rigorous imprisonment.Moments after the court convicted him, Tejpal appealed for a lenient sentence, describing himself as a &#8220;political victim&#8221; and drawing a comparison with jailed activist Umar Khalid.Addressing the division bench of Justices Neela Gokhale and Amit Jamsandekar after the court reversed his 2021 acquittal, Tejpal said he was 62 years old, a father of two and had been unfairly targeted.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>The FDA issued notices to the three actors on August 14, asking them to explain their role in the advertisement and their association with the brand, which the regulator said could amount to indirect promotion of a pan masala product. NEW DELHI: Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has warned that Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff could face a fine of up to Rs 10 lakh if their responses to notices over Vimal ad are found unsatisfactory.The FDA issued notices to the three actors on August 14, asking them to explain their role in the advertisement and their association with the brand, which the regulator said could amount to indirect promotion of a pan masala product. Speaking to ANI, Mundhe said the action was being taken under provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act and stressed that surrogate or misleading advertisements were prohibited.&#8221;This invites a fine up to Rs 10 lakh in the first stage,&#8221; Mundhe said when asked about the possible action if the actors&#8217; replies did not satisfy the regulator.&#8221;If we are still not satisfied, action will be taken under FSSAI Act&#8217;s clauses about prohibited items,&#8221; he said.Mundhe also defended the timing of the notices, saying the FDA had been observing and examining the matter before taking action.&#8221;We were observing and examining this. You can say that this comes a little later, but better late than never. We are working and there should indeed be some impact. There are regulations for all such surrogate, false and misleading ads&#8230;No surrogate and misleading ads can be made. There are restrictions on it and they are prohibited. Legal action can be taken,&#8221; he said.The notices were sent to Ajay Devgn at his residence in Juhu, Shah Rukh Khan at Mannat in Bandra and Tiger Shroff through his production house, Tiger Shroff Productions LLP.According to the FDA, the advertisement creates an association with a brand that is mainly linked with pan masala, raising concerns that it could constitute indirect promotion despite being presented as an advertisement for chewing elaichi.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe regulatory action comes as the Maharashtra FDA intensifies its crackdown on gutka and pan masala products containing tobacco or nicotine.
