Centre to take up security breach issue with UP govt PTI NEW DELHI, JAN 11
The Centre is likely to take up with the Uttar Pradesh government the issue of "security breach" during Rahul Gandhi's visit to Allahabad as initial report suggested that police “failed” to control protesters who tried to stop the SPG protectee's car. Home Ministry officials said prima facie it looks like the local police personnel, who were deployed along Rahul's travel route, "failed" to control activists of Samajwadi Party's youth wing who tried to stop his car and clamber on to the vehicle raising black flags. After a detailed investigation by the Special Protection Group (SPG), the Home Ministry will raise the issue with the Uttar Pradesh government for appropriate action, they said.
The SPG has duly informed the local police about the travel plan of the Congress leader, sources said. The incident took place last evening when Gandhi was on his way to Anand Bhavan, the ancestral house of the NehruGandhis, for overnight stay after an interaction at engineering institute MNNIT. As Rahul's motorcade approached Anand Bhavan, a group of SP youth wing activists, waving black flags and shouting slogans against the leader, jumped in front of his vehicle. Some of the protesters came dangerously close to Rahul's car before they were repulsed by the SPG personnel guarding the Congress general secretary. Yesterday, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Allahabad, Ram Kumar, however, termed
the reports of security breach as “absolutely untrue”. “These reports are absolutely untrue. We have received no complaints in this regard from the SPG team which has been camping in the city for the past couple of days. We have been working in close coordination with it,’ he said. Security arrangements for Gandhi, who visits Uttar Pradesh frequently, has often been a cause for spat between the Centre and the state government which had accused the former of not sharing enough inputs with the local police during the leader's tours. In Lucknow, IGP (Law and Order) A P Maheshwari said the incident of alleged security breach during Gandhi's visit to Allahabad was being looked into by the security cell of the UP Police.

Preliminary inquiry finds legislator raped teenager PTI LUCKNOW, JAN 11
A preliminary inquiry by the CBCID into the Banda rape case has found that BSP legislator Purushottam Naresh Dwiwedi had raped the teenager and framed her in a false theft case, official sources said here today. “ The CB-CID, which was asked to probe the matter by Chief Minister Mayawati, has completed a preliminary inquiry and is ready with its report,” a senior official told PTI. During preliminary inquiry, it was found that the 17-year-old girl was not only raped by the MLA, but was also framed in a false theft case, the sources said.
The CB-CID team from Allahabad, which is probing the incident, has recorded statements of more that a dozen persons, they said. The agency has also raised fingers on the role of the Banda Police, which lodged a theft case against the girl and sent her to jail, the sources said. The girl, who appeared before Civil Judge Junior Division Ravi Kumar Gupta yesterday, alleged in her statement that Dwiwedi raped her twice while his aides teased her, prosecution sources said. After recording the girl's statement, the court ordered the Superintendent of Police Banda to take immediate legal

action. She alleged that no action was taken against Dwiwedi as police was conniving with the MLA and his aides. The girl had given a similar statement to the three member team of National Commission of Women, which visited Banda yesterday. “From whatever the girl has told the team it seems that atrocity was committed against her and the administration committed laxity in ensuring justice,” team member Sarla Arya had told reporters. She said the girl told the team that Superintendent of Police Anil Das “pressurized” her to change her statement and despite her resistance took her thumb impression on a blank paper.
Politics is emotional for me: Kher PTI SHILLONG, JAN 11
Having donned many hats, actress Kirron Kher has said that she thinks of herself as a social activist, who came into politics for emotional reasons. “I am basically a social activist. I want good governance from which all should benefit. It is an emotional reason that brought me to politics,” Kher said here. Also describing herself as an entertainer, the actress said she would continue to do both, politics and acting, side by side. The wife of acclaimed actor Anupam Kher, she won the National Film Award for Best Actress for Rituparno Ghosh's Bengali film 'Bariwali' in 2000.

However, Kher is in no mood to contest elections. “I will not contest elections. I am not interested,” Kher, who had joined the BJP in 2009, told reporters here in response to a query yesterday. Denouncing vote bank politics, she said, “What concerns one religion, concerns others also. There should be no division in society. A normal man wants development, food and a decent lifestyle”.
