Hyderabad blast: Delhi Police hunt for IM operative Raju Bhai

New Delhi: Delhi Police Sunday launched an intensive search for Raju Bhai, an alleged Indian Mujahideen operative linked to the Hyderabad blasts which killed 16 people and injured over 115.

'We have launched a search to trace Raju Bhai, who can provide vital leads in the Hyderabad blasts case,' a senior official of Delhi Police's Special Cell told IANS.

Raju Bhai, in his early 30s, has been on the radar of the special cell since his name figured in the August 2012 Pune serial blasts probe.

According to police sources, Raju is six feet tall and apparently has good command over Marathi language. He was allegedly asked by his handlers to arrange hideouts for the suspected terrorists arrested for 2012 Pune blast.

Police are also looking for five more IM operatives who may have a role in the Hyderabad and Pune blasts.

In Thursday's Hyderabad twin blasts, security agencies suspect the involvement of the same Indian Mujhideen module involved in the Pune blasts and directed by Yasin Bhatkal, who is one of the co-founders of the IM.

The sketch of Raju Bhai was released by Delhi Police in October last year after interrogation of suspects Imran Khan and Asad who were arrested for planting bombs in Pune.

Police said they have intensified the searches for Raju Bhai in the capital and its neighboring parts.

Besides, the officers of Special Cell here questioned Pune blast accused Syed Maqbool lodged in Tihar Jail Saturday.

Kerala doctor invents syringe that can't be reused

In a major breakthrough, a doctor in Kerala has developed a cheap, effective and eco-friendly medical syringe that can never be reused.

'The Peanut Safe Syringe becomes absolutely redundant after its first use. Neither the syringe nor the needle can ever be reused. Scavengers will never be able to collect, repack and sell it in the market,' said Baby Manoj, a radiologist from Kozhikode, who invented the syringe.

The syringe can be used for injection as well as blood aspiration in a single sitting. In other syringe models, separate devices are needed for each procedure.

For his product, Manoj last week received Best Invention Awards for 2011 from the National Research Development Corporation, an undertaking of the science and technology ministry, and World Intellectual Property Organisation at a function in New Delhi.

A World Health Organisation report says more than 20 million people are infected with HIV and hepatitis every year and 1.3 million of them die.

The infection is spreading because around 600 crore used syringes come back in the market without being sterilised.

Over a million blood infections occur annually in India leading to HIV and hepatitis, and around 300,000 of the infected people die.

Manoj has developed a disposable syringe whose needle and barrel can be disabled quickly after injection. He did this by creating a groove around the hub of the syringe to which the needle is connected.

After use, a slight manual pressure on the groove breaks the needle and the barrel, which is its critical component.

The needle, which is a major disease-transferring component, is disabled as the broken piece of the barrel is tightly packed inside the needle's plastic connector.

'It is as simple as breaking a peanut shell and so I have called it Peanut Safe,' he said.

He said the name of the product was derived from a riddle.

'Break open a peanut shell, eat the nuts and nobody will use it again. This is true of Peanut Safe syringes too. Open the cover and you will get a syringe which nobody has ever used before. Use it and no one can use it ever again,' Manoj said.

Manoj has patented the product and plans to start marketing it soon.

RBI releases guidelines for new bank licences

Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Friday released the final guidelines for issuing new bank licences, paving the way for corporate firms to enter the sector. As per the final guidelines, the minimum capital requirement for opening a bank is Rs.500 crore. Foreign shareholding in the new bank is capped at 49 percent. 'Entities/groups in the private sector, entities in public sector and non-banking financial companies shall be eligible to set up a bank through a wholly-owned Non-Operative Financial Holding Company (NOFHC),' the RBI said. The central bank said the entities applying for the new bank licences should have past records of 'sound credentials and integrity, be financially sound with a successful track record of 10 years.' 'This is a game changing event for the banking sector. With corporates prima facie being allowed, I would expect at least 8-10 very serious players with very deep pockets to enter the sector,' said Dinesh Thakkar, chairman and managing director, Angel Broking. 'With this move finally, competition will increase and in my view in the medium term, it is ultimately the PSU banks that are likely to be on the losing side of the market share dynamics,' Thakkar said in a statement. The new lenders would be required to open at least 25 percent of their branches in unbanked rural centres, whose population is less than 10,000. Interested firms can apply for the new bank licences to the central bank till July 1, 2013. At the first stage, the applications will be screened by the Reserve Bank India. Thereafter, the applications will be referred to a High Level Advisory Committee, the constitution of which will be announced shortly, the RBI said. 'The committee will submit its recommendations to the Reserve Bank. The decision to issue an in-principle approval for setting up of a bank will be taken by the Reserve Bank,' it said. The validity of the in-principle approval issued by the RBI will be one year. Welcoming the new guidelines, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) said the entry of new banks would enhance competition which will ultimately benefit customers. Provisions regarding permitting existing non-banking financial companies to convert into banks will also meet the demand of NBFCs sector, said Rajkumar Dhoot, president Assocham.

Pattern of crying reveals baby's anger or pain'

Madrid: Pattern of crying reveals whether a baby is experiencing anger, pain or fear, according to a Spanish research. 'Crying is a baby's principal means of communicating its negative emotions and in the majority of cases the only way they have to express them,' says Mariano Choliz, researcher at the University of Valencia. Choliz co-authored the study with experts from the University of Murcia and the National University of Distance Education (UNED), the Spanish Journal of Psychology reports. Their research describes the differences in the weeping pattern in a sample of babies between three and 18 months old, caused by three emotions: fear, anger and pain, according to a release of the Scientific Information and News Service (SINC) of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). 'When babies cry because of anger or fear, they keep their eyes open but keep them closed when crying in pain,' Choliz says. Both the gestures and the intensity of the cry gradually increase if the baby is angry. The same pattern is also noticed in the case of pain and fear. When a baby cries, facial muscle activity is characterised by lots of tension in the forehead, eyebrows or lips, opening of the mouth and raised cheeks. The researchers observed different patterns between the three negative emotions, pain, anger and pain. As Choliz notices, when angry, the majority of babies keep their eyes half-closed, either looking in apparently no direction or in a fixed and prominent manner. Their mouth is either open or half-open and the intensity of their cry increases progressively. In the case of fear, the eyes remain open almost all the time. Furthermore, at times the infants have a penetrating look and move their head backwards. Their cry seems to be explosive after a gradual increase in tension. Lastly, pain manifests as constantly closed eyes and when the eyes do open it is only for a few moments and a distant look is held. In addition, there is a high level of tension in the eye area and the forehead remains frowned. The cry begins at maximum intensity, starting suddenly and immediately after the stimulus.
