MUMBAI: After a routine trip to the market with his father to purchase vegetables on a winter morning in 2023 led to the death of a 30-year-old junior engineer with Konkan Railways, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal in Mumbai ordered Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) to pay approximately Rs 2.21 crore (inclusive of interest) to his bereaved family. The tragedy occurred on Dec 21, 2023, when Aniket Dabholkar, father to a one-year-old boy, was standing near his parked scooter while his father purchased vegetables. A speeding state-owned bus veered into the side margin of the road and struck Dabholkar, causing fatal head injuries.During the proceedings, MSRTC attempted to shift blame onto the deceased, suggesting he suddenly entered the path of the bus. However, the tribunal dismissed these claims, noting evidence and police reports clearly showed the scooter was stationary and the bus driver lost control. “The fact that the driver of the offending bus drove the vehicle at a high speed and recklessly and caused the accident resulting in death of a person standing still by the side of the road indicates negligence,” it said in the verdict.The family had moved the tribunal on January 20, 2024. “The claimants have duly proved negligence on the part of the accused driver,” the tribunal said.In determining the compensation, it took into account Dabholkar’s monthly salary of approximately Rs 84,000 and his promising career. It awarded Rs 1.95 crore as principal amount, which includes loss of dependency, funeral expenses, and “consortium” for emotional suffering of his 24-year-old widow, infant son, and elderly parents.It directed MSRTC to deposit the funds in 30 days, emphasising that the compensation must include 7% annual interest. Of the total award, it ordered Rs 95 lakh each be allocated to the wife and son, and the remainder shared between the parents.

GHAZIABAD: A National Green Tribunal-ordered inspection of the Yamuna floodplains lying between Delhi and Ghaziabad has found largescale violations by miners, corroborating a TOI report on Nov 30 last year about an embankment being built across the river to illegally dredge sand.The joint committee report, submitted to NGT after surprise inspections on both Delhi and UP sides of Yamuna earlier this month, pointed out that though the mining lease was legal, the mining area breached legal boundaries with construction of illegal ramps. Miners, it added, operated heavy machinery within the river’s flow and ignored Delhi-NCR’s GRAP rules, continuing operations even during periods when all mining activities were prohibited to curb pollution.After taking note of the TOI report, NGT’s principal bench, headed by chairperson Prakash Shrivastava and expert member A Senthil Vel, had consolidated all pending cases on sand mining around Yamuna. It directed the formation of the joint committee — comprising representatives from Central Pollution Control Board, ministry of environment, forest and climate change and Commission for Air Quality Management — on Nov 20 this year.

In its report dated Dec 19, the panel painted a bleak picture of the Yamuna floodplains, particularly in Ghaziabad’s Navraspur area of Loni. Here, mining was found to have taken place in the very centre of the river, up to 110 metres beyond the legal lease boundary. The violations included excavation of up to 15-20 feet in the riverbed using machinery deployed using the illegal access ramps – the TOI report had pointed out that the ramps were built by laying sandbags across the river’s flow – and absence or submergence of boundary pillars meant to demarcate legal mining zones. The committee also found a weighing bridge and an office around 200m from the legal lease area.The panel was also critical in its assessment of administrative lapses. It highlighted that there was no curb on mining activity when GRAP III was in force. The committee also found evidence of night-time operations. Other environmental conditions that were ignored included the absence of required plantation drives, no submission of environmental audits or compliance reports every six months, and the lack of solar lighting. Diesel generator sets were also operated beyond their permitted capacity, sewage management was found wanting, the report pointed out. The lapses, the report said, increased the risk of long-term ecological damage to the river and its floodplains.An official from the mining office in Ghaziabad acknowledged the violations. “In 1.8 hectares of the Yamuna floodplains in Navraspur, a short-term mining permit was given for six months in May, but it excluded the three-month monsoon period when mining is banned. However, there were instances of violations of environmental norms for which we have issued a show-cause notice to the lessee. After their reply on the charges levelled against them, action, which includes the imposition of a penalty, could be imposed,” the official said.Apart from laying down violations, the panel recommended that both Delhi and UP authorities take urgent steps to rein in illegal mining. It called on the mining office in Ghaziabad to act against mining conducted outside lease areas. It also advised against granting short-term mining leases that are less than two years. “UPPCB, Ghaziabad, and the Ghaziabad mining department may take necessary action against the mining done during the GRAP-III period. The Ghaziabad mining department may be requested to discourage granting sand mining leases with a duration of less than two years. The DM, through the mining department, shall ensure that no mining is carried out in the mainstream of the river Yamuna,” the tribunal ordered on Dec 23.

Former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has sparked fresh debate around Virat Kohli’s Test retirement with an emotional Instagram post that has resonated widely among fans. Posting on Saturday, Sidhu wrote, “If God granted me a wish I’d say bring Kohli out of his retirement & make him play Test Cricket …. Nothing would give more joy and ecstasy to a country of 1.5 billion! His fitness is that of a twenty year old — he himself 24 carat gold.”

Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this year, officially stepping away from the format on 12 May 2025. He brought down the curtain on a distinguished red-ball career after 123 Tests, scoring 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries to his name.

Kohli had already retired from T20 internationals last year, bowing out after India’s triumphant T20 World Cup campaign in Barbados. Following his Test retirement, the former India captain is now a single-format player, focusing solely on One Day Internationals. Despite stepping away from two formats, Kohli’s form in ODIs has remained outstanding. After India’s Champions Trophy triumph earlier in March, the team toured Australia for a bilateral series. The tour began on a rare low for Kohli, who registered back-to-back ducks in the first two ODIs — the first time that had happened in his international career. However, the turnaround was emphatic. In the Sydney ODI, Kohli rediscovered his rhythm, scoring an unbeaten 74 as India chased down 237 with ease. Rohit Sharma led the way with a commanding 121 not out off 125 balls, striking 13 fours and three sixes, as the pair finished the job with more than 11 overs to spare — in what could potentially be their final international appearances in Australia. Kohli carried that momentum into the South Africa tour, where he produced back-to-back centuries in the first two ODIs. He then capped the series with an unbeaten 65 in the third match, guiding India to a successful chase of 271 and sealing a 2–1 series win. The numbers underline the resurgence. The 37-year-old finished the year with 651 ODI runs from 13 innings, averaging an exceptional 65.10 — a testament to the enduring quality that prompted Sidhu’s heartfelt appeal for a Test comeback.

NOIDA: A criminal case was registered against three doctors for medical negligence after a foreign object was found inside a woman’s abdomen more than a year after she underwent a delivery procedure at a private hospital in Greater Noida. The complaint, filed by the woman’s husband earlier this week, also names the chief medical officer and two health department officials appointed to investigate the case. Police have filed an FIR against the six accused under BNS sections 125 (endangering life or personal safety due to rashness or negligence), 125b (endanger life or personal safety through rashness or negligence, with punishments escalating from fines and short jail time for minor incidents to imprisonment for up to three years if grievous hurt occurs), 255 (penalises public servants who knowingly disobey the law with the intent to shield someone from punishment) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) after the complaint was submitted at Knowledge Park police station on Dec 24.

The complainant, a resident of Delta-1 in Greater Noida, has alleged that a piece of surgical cloth, nearly half a metre long, was left inside her abdomen during childbirth at a private hospital in the Knowledge Park area in Nov 2023. The object remained undetected for 15 months, during which the woman suffered persistent abdominal pain and repeated health complications before it was finally removed during surgery in April this year.Police said an FIR names three doctors from the hospital, including its CMO. The woman, who works as a domestic worker and supplements her income through sewing and embroidery, underwent a Caesarean delivery at a private hospital at Tughlakpur on Nov 14, 2023. She was discharged two days later.Soon after returning home, the woman began experiencing severe abdominal pain. Over the following months, her condition worsened. She developed persistent discomfort and later noticed a lump forming near the surgical site.Unable to cope with the pain, she travelled to her parents’ home in Muzaffarnagar, where doctors advised an ultrasound and further diagnostic tests. She consulted multiple medical facilities there, and later sought treatment at Sharda Hospital in Greater Noida and several other private hospitals. Despite repeated consultations, her treatment continued for months without a clear diagnosis. On March 22 this year, after developing a high fever and experiencing intense abdominal pain, she visited Yatharth City Hospital in Greater Noida’s Delta 1 area. She was given medication, but the cause of her symptoms remained unclear. The woman then approached GIMS Hospital on April 7, where an MRI and other tests were conducted. The reports were described as normal. A day later, on April 8, she sought help at Naveen Hospital in Greater Noida, where doctors advised further imaging and cancer-related tests. On April 14, she visited Kailash Hospital after the abdominal lump became more pronounced and was recommended a second surgery. She underwent a second surgery on April 22. During the procedure, the surgical team discovered and removed a cloth from the woman’s abdomen. The complainant has submitted photographs and video footage of the object being extracted as evidence.The woman’s husband filed a written complaint with the chief medical officer the following day. According to the complaint, the CMO assured the family of a fair inquiry and appointed a two-member medical team for inquiry. However, the complainant alleged that the investigation was deliberately delayed for nearly two months and that the cloth recovered during surgery was never sent for forensic examination.The woman and her husband have alleged that they were threatened and warned against pursuing the case.The woman has stated that the prolonged negligence resulted in her undergoing two major surgeries. During the second operation, she required eight units of blood. Doctors have reportedly informed her that a third surgery is not possible, raising concerns about her ability to conceive again.
