Twelve years after Indian Naval Ship (INS) Vindhyagiri sank following a collision with a merchant vessel, the Bombay High Court has ruled that the container carrier was entitled to limit its liability for the losses and damages due to the accident to nearly Rs 30 crore. The court limited the liability of the owner of Merchant Vessel Nordlake (MV Nordlake) for all claims to 27,89,234 Special Drawing Rights (SDR), equivalent to around Rs 30 crore, against the Central government`s claim of Rs 1,397 crore.

A lifer on the run since 2012 was arrested from Maharashtra`s Thane district in an operation by the local cops and Lucknow police, an official said on Wednesday. Uttar Pradesh government had announced a reward of Rs 50,000 on the absconding murder convict Mohammad Danish Arif Shaikh (42), said Senior Inspector Dileep Patil of the Thane crime branch. Shaikh, a resident of Azamgarh in UP, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court in 2006. While the high court upheld the sentence in 2012, he went into hiding, said the official. In 2020, the Supreme Court also ruled against Shaikh. Acting on a piece of information, the Lucknow police coordinated with the Thane city police to arrest Shaikh from Mumbra on Tuesday, said the official. To evade police action, Shaikh changed his name to Mohammad Mustakin Abdul Khalik and kept changing locations. Before his arrests, he had stayed in places like Aligarh and Kolkata, he said. (PTI)
