New Delhi: TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Saturday reacted to the reports of the Twitter account of Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad being blocked due to an alleged copyright violation.

Taking to her official Twitter handle the MP reminded the minister of the internet outage in J&K by the Centre for months together and added sarcastically that she was sorry about his account being blocked for an hour.

Noting a popular informal English proverb about Karma, she stated that it was not true enough.

“Oh ho ho Hon’ble IT Minister, Sir- so sorry your ac blocked for 1 hour. Internet access denied to lakhs of people in J&K for months on end. Karma is not enough of a b...” she wrote in her tweet.

Mandya: An argument over a seat in a train intensified into a fight, resulting in a passenger and a Railways staff member being stabbed and sustaining grievous injuries near the Maddur Railway Station in the district on Wednesday.

The other passengers as well as the locals are said to have caught and assaulted the three accused as they were attempting to escape. The trio, Subaan Qureishi, Shoiab Qureishi and Wasim, has been handed over to the police.

The assault victims, identified as Shivakumar of Tumakuru and Railways staff Kumar were taken to the Maddur Taluk Hospital for first aid and later shifted to the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) District Hospital.

The argument is said to have erupted over a seat in the Mysuru-Bengaluru train. When a third passenger, Shivakumar, tried to intervene, however, the men fighting for the seat allegedly stabbed him with a knife. Shivakumar is said to have pulled the chain of the train, which was arriving at the Maddur station and was at Channegowdanadoddi on the outskirts of the town, in a desperate attempt to save his life.

The suspects, who tried to jump off the train which was slowing down, stabbed Kumar, the railway gate-keeper near Channegowdanadoddi, as he attempted to stop the duo from escaping.

The other passengers in the train and the locals at the station caught up with the accused, who were escaping and assaulted them physically before handing them over to the police.

A case has been registered by the Railway Police and the officers are investigating the incident.
