Shocking! Youths rob 65-year-old man, set him on fire

Pune: In a bizarre incident, a 65-year-old man was robbed off Rs 20,000, beaten up and later set on fire by three miscreants in Nashikphata area near Pune on Wednesday. The man identified as Uddhav Aasaram Unave has sustained 50-55% burn injuries and is undergoing treatment at Sassoon General Hospital.

Match-fixings and strange political bedfellows

Uddhav Thackeray played it smart and how! Last week, he brought the Congress into the news, much to the chagrin of both the Congress and the BJP. When the Sena president appreciated the former central Congress government's performance and said he would never insult former PM Manmohan Singh the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi did in Parliament, Congress leaders said they did not need the Sena's certificate, fearing that it would lead to splitting of votes.
