Manoharan

A man convicted of "horribly" gang-raping a 10-year-old girl before murdering her along with her little brother in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore in 2010 does not deserve mercy, the Supreme Court said today, dismissing his petition against the death sentence.

Shunned, destitute and pushed into prostitution in some cases, Sri Lanka's Tamil widows have returned to northern Jaffna since the end of the separatist war only to discover they are not welcome even in their homeland.

The Dronacharya Award selection committee, headed by Ajit Pal Singh, that met in New Delhi on Monday nominated greco-roman wrestling coach Mahavir Prasad, G. Manoharan (boxing), Jose Jacob (rowing), N. Lingappa (athletics) and Gurcharan Singh Gogi (judo) for the prestigious awards.

Anxiety and fear continue for the second day at Devakottai, the hometown of Father Alexis Prem Kumar in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga district.

In a tragic incident, a fourth standard boy drowned to death in the school's swimming pool here, police said on Thursday. M Ranjan of Padma Seshadri Bal Bhavan and the son of Tamil movie director Manoharan went swimming with 25 classmates after morning prayers. At the end of the swimming session, the boy was missing.

Ethnic Indian Malaysian parliamentarian M Manoharan, who is currently detained, may consider vacating his seat.
