Death of horses at Jabalpur farm: MP HC seeks detailed report from collector by Jun 25
Three horses had died at the farm in the last few days, while eight had died in May reportedly due to heat.
Jabalpur, Jun 20 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday directed the Jabalpur district collector to file a report by June 25 on the condition of horses kept in a farm in Raipura village.
The collector shall also file a status report with regard to the horses that have died and the reasons for their death, the bench said.
The court issued the direction while hearing of a petition filed by Jabalpur-based animal activist Simran Issar alleging that one Sachin Tiwari brought 49 horses from HithaNet India Private Limited in Telangana capital Hyderabad and had kept them without documents pertaining to ownership, vaccination, medical history etc.
'Sachin Tiwari has been made respondent in the petition for illegally transporting horses from Hyderabad to Jabalpur in violation of provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act. Sachin Tiwari is associated with Suresh Paladugu of HithaNet India Private Limited,' the petitioner's counsel Umesh Tripathi told PTI.
HithaNet India Private Limited started an online horse racing betting venture exclusively for Philippines that it ran from Hyderabad Race Club under the title of UnThose Matchup Racing in October 2023, Tripathi said.
Jabalpur collector Deepak Saxena had told reporters on June 19 that a committee had been formed under the chairmanship of the district panchayat chief executive officer to find out whether proper care was being taken of horses. PTI COR LAL BNM

Indian nurse on death row in Yemen to be executed July 16; family says no official word
Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, who was handed a death penalty in Yemen, will reportedly be executed on July 16. The 37-year-old nurse from Kerala had been convicted for allegedly murdering a Yemeni national in June 2018 and the local court handed out a death sentence to her. "We have been closely following the matter since then. We have been in regular touch with local authorities and her family members and rendered all possible assistance. We continue to closely follow the matter," sources told TNIE. Amid the reports of her execution date being set, Nimisha's family said they have not received any official information over the development. "We have not received any official communication so far. We only came to know about it through news reports," her husband, Tomy Thomas, told PTI. He spoke amid news reports quoting a social worker involved in talks with Yemeni officials and the victim Talal Abdo Mahdi's family, who said the public prosecutor had sent an order to the prison and the execution is set for July 16. The woman has been imprisoned in a Yemeni jail since 2017 for the crime. Reports said Priya was handed capital punishment by a trial court in 2020 and Yemen's Supreme Judicial Council upheld the verdict in November 2023 but left room for a possible reprieve through blood money (diya)--a settlement with the victim's family. This slim chance of clemency has been the focus of the Nimisha Priya Action Council's efforts to save the nurse's life. A daily wage labourer and driver, Priya's husband Thomas has been forced to send their daughter, now a seventh class student, to a hostel due to financial constraints. The family is burdened by a debt of Rs 60 lakh, incurred in 2015 to set up a clinic in Yemen, which was shut down in 2017, Thomas had said earlier.

Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya to be executed on July 16 for murdering Yemeni national
Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya, who was jailed for killing a Yemeni national, will be executed on July 16, according to a report, citing a social activist read more Nimisha Priya, from Kerala's Palakkad district, was arrested in 2017 for the murder of her business partner, Talal Abdo Mahdi. Image Courtesy: X Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya, who was jailed for killing a Yemeni national, will be executed on July 16, according to a report, citing a social activist. According to a News 18 report, citing Kerala-based news outlet Onmanorama, human rights activist Samuel Jerome, who holds the power of attorney of Nimisha Priya's mother, Prema Kumari, said that prison authorities of Yemen have informed him about the date of her execution. Priya was arrested in 2017 for the alleged murder of her business partner, Talal Abdo Mahdi. In 2020, a Yemeni court sentenced her to death in connection with the case. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have been closely following the matter since then. We have been in regular touch with local authorities and her family members and rendered all possible assistance. We continue to closely follow the matter," News 18 quoted sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as saying. Priya, a native of Kerala's Palakkad district, moved to Yemen in 2011 after completing her nursing training, hoping to support her parents, who worked as daily wage labourers. She initially worked tirelessly across several hospitals before deciding to open her own clinic—a long-held dream. In 2014, she met Talal Abdo Mahdi, who offered to help her set up the clinic. Under Yemeni business law, foreign nationals are required to partner with a local to start a business, and the two entered into a partnership. In 2015, Priya and Mahdi launched the clinic in Sana'a. However, their relationship quickly soured. Priya accused Mahdi of abuse and physical torture, claiming he confiscated her passport to prevent her from leaving Yemen. She lodged a police complaint, which led to his arrest in 2016, though he was later released. In 2017, tensions escalated. Determined to recover her passport and return to India, Priya sought help from a local jail warden, who allegedly advised her to use sedatives to subdue Mahdi. Acting on the suggestion, she injected him with sedatives. Mahdi died of an overdose, leading to her arrest and subsequent murder charge. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the same year, a Yemeni trial court sentenced Priya to death. Her mother, Prema Kumari, later appealed the verdict to Yemen's Supreme Court, but the appeal was rejected in 2023. President Rashad al-Alimi also signed off on the execution order, upholding the sentence. With inputs from agencies

Jane Street calls Sebi order 'fundamentally mistaken' over allegations
US-based trading giant Jane Street has criticised the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), calling its recent order alleging market manipulation "fundamentally mistaken" in an internal letter to staff. The firm defended its trading activity as "basic index arbitrage," countering Sebi's characterisation of the strategy as manipulative. Jane Street stated it is preparing a formal response and exploring legal options. It also claimed repeated attempts to engage with Sebi since February had been "consistently rebuffed." In the weekend letter, Jane Street accused Sebi's July 3 order of using "inflammatory language" and demonstrating a "misunderstanding of standard hedging practices and the interrelationships between derivative and underlying markets." "It's deeply upsetting to see the firm mischaracterised this way," the letter stated. "We take pride in the role we serve in markets around the world, and it's painful to have our reputation tarnished by a report based on so many erroneous or unsupported assertions." Jane Street did not respond to emailed queries by press time. Sebi's order barred Jane Street and its group entities from the Indian market and directed disgorgement of alleged "unlawful gains" totalling Rs 4,834 crore. The regulator also indicated that its probe into the group's other trading strategies continues. Jane Street asserted it provided information promptly and transparently when Sebi requested details about its trading in August 2024. The letter claims that its senior officers from Hong Kong and New York travelled to Mumbai to meet with the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
