Quattrocchi gets clean chit but Modi gets probed

The Interpol has removed the red-corner notice issued against Ottavio Quattrocchi, an Italian businessman who is being sought in India for criminal charges for acting as a conduit for bribes in the Bofors scandal, Times Now reported.

The 12-year-long Interpol red corner notice against Quattrocchi has been withdrawn by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).This comes just three weeks before the Congress-led UPA government's term ends.

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Special Investigation Team to probe a complaint against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi that he and his Cabinet colleagues orchestrated the post-Godhra communal riots in 2002 in connivance with police officials and senior bureaucrats.

A two-judge Bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and A.K. Ganguly asked the SIT to look into the complaint by Jakia Nasim Ahesan, wife of the former Congress MP, Ehsan Jafri, and submit its report in three months.

Indian Spy satellite undergoing final stages of testing

India's spy satellite, built by Israel, is undergoing final stages of testing and integration at the spaceport of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh for an April 20 launch.The 300-kg radar imaging satellite, which would primarily keep a watch on movements on the borders and help the country in anti-infiltration and anti-terrorist operations, is set to be launched on board the 230-tonne core-alone, home-grown rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle without strap-on motors in view of the light weight of the payload.

"The satellite is expected to be launched at around 6.45 am", an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) official told PTI here today.

The Bangalore-based space agency has kept the mission low-profile, given the sensitiveness of the venture.Top ISRO officials, including the agency's Chairman G Madhavan Nair, are expected to address a media conference after the launch on Monday.This imaging satellite, built by Israel Aerospace Industries, has all-weather capabilities which means it can take pictures during day and night and under cloud cover.

In addition to surveillance applications, the spacecraft will add to the capabilities of ISRO in managing disasters like cyclones, floods and landslides.Anusat, a 40-kg satellite built by Chennai-based Anna University, is the co-passenger on board PSLC-C12.
