Murder unravels online 'adult chat' racket in Lucknow
Another police official associated with the probe said all the accused were connected with each other through social media groups and shared pictures of girls available for flesh trade and offered prospective clients their services. The accused provide flesh trade services to different people after getting payments through e-wallets. They also provided adult chatting services through different girls in return of hefty payments, he added. He said the key accused also revealed that he had duped many people on the pretext of providing flesh trade services. 'The accused said he often demanded hefty amount as advance payment for providing services of high profile girls and then blocked the clients' phone numbers after getting the money,' added the official. The official said the victims never lodged a police complaint about the fraud to avert social embarrassment. The Lucknow cyber cell received a few similar complaints in the past, but people refused to lodge formal FIR in the matter, he added. The receptionist, Krishna Pratap Singh, 20, was allegedly shot dead by two assailants, Abhay Singh and Hari Om, at the hotel around 1.52 am on Saturday after being instigated by three others including two girls. The three accused were booked for charges of criminal conspiracy. Police said the assailants had come to meet a Delhi girl staying in room number 217 of Sara Grand Hotel and opened fire when the receptionist refused to allow them to meet her.

IMF chief economist lauds Modi government for 'very solid' growth, GST
These include the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code...A lot of what they have done on financial inclusion has been really important," Obstfeld told a group of journalists here. Summing up his impression of India's economy in the last four-and-a-half years of the Modi government, the top IMF economist said the country's "growth performance has been very solid". "I mean, not so much in the third quarter of this year, but generally it has been quite solid," he said. "There are important vulnerabilities, so it is important for the reform momentum to be maintained even as an election comes up and for the path of fiscal adjustment to be maintained," Obstfeld added. He said one risk that has become much more evident in the last few years has been non-bank finance, usually called shadow banking. "There is a big challenge of stricter, oversight," the economist said. Noting that there has long been a legacy of corporate debt associated with bad infrastructure projects in India, Obstfeld said it has been very concentrated in banking system. "But as the government is trying to better oversee the banking system, these loans have migrated to shadow banking and that is an area where more needs to be done to contain financial pressures, which we are beginning to see in India," he said. However, with an upcoming election in the country, there is a reluctance to do anything that would slow the economy, Obstfeld said, observing, "But the lesson of experiences is that financial vulnerabilities can go south very quickly". Maurice Obstfeld, who has served in the post of Chief Economist for more than three years, will return to the Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. ...

Newcastle United beaten in added time by Wolves after sending off
He also felt Newcastle should have had a penalty when their goalscorer Ayoze Perez was elbowed near the end. Promoted Wolves, who had beaten Chelsea 2-1 on Wednesday after six games without a win, went ahead in the 17th minute with Diogo Jota's second goal of the week. Newcastle equalised six minutes later when Salomon Rondon, having crashed a free kick against the bar, crossed for Perez to score. But Doherty's last-gasp header after Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka had saved Jota's shot pushed Wolves into the top half of the table and left Benitez's side 15th, three points above the bottom three. "Scoring with almost the last kick of the game gives them no chance to get back into the game, so it's pretty special that way," Doherty said. Wolves had two of their numerous Portuguese players to thank for the opening goal. Helder Costa spotted that Jota was unmarked and found him with a perfect cross to chest the ball down and score. They had started well but soon came under pressure and conceded an equaliser. Rondon deserved a goal with the fierce free kick that came back off the bar but he chased the ball down and crossed for Perez to glance in a clever header. Newcastle were forced into a change at halftime with Spanish defender Javier Manquillo coming into the back three for the injured Federico Fernandez. They suffered a huge blow with Yedlin's red card, for a blatant pull on Jota's shirt after he had gifted possession to the Wolves man, and were fortunate when substitute Raul Jimenez hit the underside of the bar. Dubravka seemed to have preserved a point with a fine save from Doherty 10 minutes from time but right at the end he could only parry Jota's shot and Doherty had an open goal to head into for his team's second win in five days. Perez, however, was adamant that he had been elbowed in the face by Willy Boly a few minutes earlier. "The guy elbowed me really hard straight in my nose but the referee said it was the ball that hit me, even though I was bleeding," he said. "I don't know what we need to get a penalty." It was Wanderers' first win in the top flight at Newcastle since 1959, when they last won the title. Benitez says VAR cannot come soon enough Benitez was furious with two refereeing decisions during the defeat on Sunday. Referee Mike Dean ignored an apparent elbow in the face suffered by Perez that could have been a penalty and a possible red card. Earlier he sent off Yedlin for preventing a clear goalscoring opportunity but Benitez claimed that Jamaal Lascelles was close enough to have intercepted. "It was key to the game, the red card and the elbow on Ayoze Perez," Benitez told the BBC. "We need VAR right now. In this game it would have changed everything. How can you explain those decisions to our fans?" Perez said that the referee told him it was the ball that him in the face. As for the dismissal of Yedlin, Benitez was adamant that Lascelles was in a covering position as his American team mate pulled back Diogo Jota by the shirt. "He was close enough to get across," the experienced Spaniard said. "You can guarantee to me that the player in the corner of the box can score in the top corner every time? It cannot be a red card. We have lost three points today and we deserved to win." Instead of moving to within one position of Wolves in mid-table, Newcastle had to watch their visitors shoot into the top 10, nine points ahead of them after a second win in five days following their defeat of Chelsea. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo felt his team had been fortunate. "We didn't do the best performance," he said. "We didn't win our duels or manage the possession of the ball. The red card changes the game. We were lucky to beat them in the end. A draw was clearly the right result." He dismissed the challenge by Willy Boly on Perez, however, as "a dispute of the ball". "It was a tough game in the momentum where we are. Everyone thinks everything was solved after (beating) Chelsea but that's not true." Dailyhunthttps://www.sbnation.com/users/zeevakeeno
NASA's InSight lander 'hears' wind on Mars
"This is the very first fifteen minutes of data that have come from the short period seismometer," said Thomas Pike, lead investigator at Imperial College London, during a conference call with reporters. "It's a little like a flag waving in the wind," he added. "It really sounds otherworldly, and that is exactly what it is." InSight is designed to study the interior of Mars like never before, using seismology instruments to detect quakes and a self-hammering mole to measure heat escape from the planet's crust. Sensing the wind, which moved from northwest to southeast at around 5 pm local time, was "an unplanned treat," said Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. NASA's Viking 1 and 2 landers also picked up signals of the Martian wind when they landed in 1976. They were measuring it at lower sampling rates, however, not frequencies that would be audible, and did not return sounds that people could listen to. "Personally, listening to the sounds form the pressure sensor, reminds me of sitting outside on a windy summer afternoon, listening to the turbulent gusts come and go and whistle through your ears," said Don Banfield, a researcher at Cornell University. "In some sense, this is what it would sound like if you were sitting on the Insight lander on Mars." An audio track of the Martian wind is available on www.nasa.gov/insightmarswind. ...

Arunachal plans major road to town near Myanmar border
Gen. A.S. Guraya, inspector-general of the Assam Rifles.The valley was later named by him after his son.Addressing a meeting on the sidelines of the launch of his two-month-long Arunachal Rising campaign, Khandu said, "Vijaynagar has huge tourism potential owing to its scenic beauty. A lot of horticulture and agriculture activities can take place here.""These potentials have, however, been hampered by lack of proper surface and air communication," the chief minister said."Though former chief minister Dorjee Khandu had approved of conducting a survey and preparing a detailed project report to construct the Vijaynagar road under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, it was delayed owing to improper work allocation," he added.The chief minister also assured that an additional 70-metre steel suspension bridge would be constructed beside the Empen Bridge on the 32km motorable road from Miao, which normally gets cut off during the monsoon.On air connectivity to Vijaynagar, the chief minister said he would take up the issue with the Centre to expedite work on the advance landing ground (ALG) here and it would soon be connected with other six ALGs in the state under the Chief Minister's Connectivity Scheme.Khandu also said he will talk to private carriers on starting MI 172 helicopter services in the region for six days a week.

Singer Chinmayi says her credit removed from a Tamil song
Chinmayi first noticed this when a fan tweeted and asked, 'Now why the hell is @Chinmayi's name left out from the lyrical video? This is all so bad. Jio studios being pressurized to do so?' To which she replied, 'I didn't know until I saw your tweet. Thanks anyway. Well done JioStudios.' She then wrote on Instagram, 'First want to put on record that I am grateful for the love for Maya Maya. Second I saw both the lyrical videos - both Tamil and Telugu to notice that there is no mention of the singer in Tamil in the video.' She added, 'How conspicuous can JioStudios get? And would be nice if they had mentioned the lead actor Aparna as well as mentioned by Karthik Srinivas' Milliblog in Twitter. The video features her as the lead. I guess this was Jiostudios way of showing me middle finger.Thank you and duly acknowledged.' Chinmayi had shared her story about lyricist Vairamuthu and supported women who accused veteran actor Radha Ravi, for which she was trolled on social media. Recently, she was expelled from the South Indian Cine Television Artistes and Dubbing Artistes Union ostensibly for 'non-payment of subscription fees', which the singer denied.
