'False and baseless': Sajjan Jindal denies rape allegations

-

The chairman and managing director of JSW Group, Sajjan Jindal, has refuted the charges of rape levelled against him.

“Mr. Sajjan Jindal denies these false and baseless allegations. He is committed to providing full cooperation throughout the investigation. As the investigation is ongoing, we will refrain from commenting further at this stage. We kindly request you to respect the privacy of the family,” Sajjan Jindal said in his statement.

On December 13, 2023, the Bandra Kurla Complex Police Station received a First Information Report (FIR) from the Mumbai Police Department against Jindal. The complainant, a 30-year-old Mumbai resident, claims in it that the event happened on January 24, 2022, at a penthouse in the BKC premises of JSW Group.

IPC 376 (rape), IPC 354 (assault or criminal force to women with intent to insult her modesty), and IPC 503 (criminal intimidation) are the charges against Jindal.

The complainant stated in the FIR that she first met Sajjan Jindal on October 8, 2021, in Dubai, after exchanging phone numbers in order to further discussions for real estate.

She allegedly went to Mumbai police on February 16, 2023, to lodge a FIR against Sajjan Jindal, according to the statement in the FIR. But on December 5, 2023, she moved to the Bombay High Court after months had gone by and Mumbai Police had still not filed her FIR. On December 12, 2023, the court issued an order registering the FIR. The Mumbai police has refuted claims that it took longer to file the FIR.

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
