WATCH: Rajasthan minister's nephew vandalises Jaipur hotel, thrashes guest in police presence; FIR registered

-

In a shocking incident, nephew of Rajasthan minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas vandalised a Jaipur hotel and thrashed a guest after an argument in the presence of police on Wednesday.

The incident came to light after a video of the accused, Harshdeep Khachariyawas, showing him vandalising the hotel property and threatening and abusing the staff went viral.

The Jaipur Police has registered an FIR and launched an investigation into the incident, reported ANI, citing the SHO of Vaishali police station.

“An FIR has been registered. We will investigate the matter based on the facts of the FIR. Whenever we get the evidence, we will arrest the accused,” Shiv Narayan, SHO Vaishali said.

According to hotel owner Abhimanyu Singh, Harshdeep entered into an argument with a fellow guest. Following this, he asked the hotel staff to open every room in order to search for him.

“Yesterday at around 10 pm, the nephew of Rajasthan minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, Harshdeep Khachariyawas along with 5-6 people reached the hotel in a drunk state and had an argument with a fellow guest. I got a call saying that they were taking Pratap Singh Khachariyawas’ name and abusing the staff…they asked the hotel staff for his (the fellow guest with whom the Minister’s nephew got into an argument) room number and demanded to open every room and search for him,” the hotel owner said.

When the hotel staff refused, he called in around 20 to 25 boys and started vandalising hotel property, Abhimanyu claimed.

“The safety of our guests is very important to us. We denied to open the rooms. I instructed my staff to ask them to come tomorrow and solve the matter. We also offered to help them in case they want any proof in case of any investigation. However, he turned furious and called in 20-25 other boys and started damaging the hotel property. They blocked our front desk. They destroyed our glasses in front of us and threatened us,” the hotel owner who is also the Managing Director said.

“We called the police. However, only two police personnel came. They searched for the guest with whom they had a quarrel. Those 25 boys were beating up the person in front of the police. We have the CCTV footage of it. The police did nothing. They just saved the guest and took him away,” he said.

The hotel owner further accused Khachariyawas and his accomplices of trying to destroy the CCTV recordings but somehow they were prevented.

“Someone advised them to destroy the CCTV footage from the server room downstairs. They reached the place to destroy the footage, they also broke the TV, the recording of which is present with us. We somehow saved the recordings…” Abhimanyu Singh said.

The hotel owner said that they are being threatened for pressing charges on the accused since he is the nephew of a minister. However, he said, that he believes in the state government.

“We are being threatened and harassed. We have received several calls, all kinds of pressure is being made on us. They are saying that these are people from the government. However, we believe in Ashok Gehlot’s government, we believe in law and order in the state and we will surely get justice even if delayed,” he added.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
