Development economist Jean Dreze was forced to cut short his speech at a programme in Jharkhand after the state's agriculture minister Randhir Kumar Singh heckled him, reportedly because he was offended at his references to the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, the BJP's ideological mentor.

After NDTV reported the story about the parents of a nine-year-old rape survivor from Jharkhand who had to trek four kilometres to take her to the nearest government health care centre because they could not afford even a bicycle, helped has poured in for the family from NDTV viewers and readers of NDTV.com.

For over two months, the parents of a nine-year-old rape survivor have trekked four kilometres to take her to the nearest government health care centre in Jharkhand's East Singhbhum district, unable to afford even a bicycle.

Torn between party loyalty and family bonds, BJP MLA Vinay Kumar Singh has moved out of Saran district ahead of the August 21 assembly by-poll in Bihar.

There is intense curiosity as Bihar wagers on whether Nitish Kumar will indeed share stage with arch rival-turned-ally Lalu Yadav in their campaign for crucial by-elections later this month. Those betting on yes may win.

Meanwhile, IOA Acting President Vijay Kumar Malhotra had a series of meeting with senior officials in the wake of the International Olympic Committee's latest threat to suspend India if the IOA followed the Government's Sports Code for the December 5 polls.
