NK SINGH Bhopal: A local lawyer has moved the court seeking cancellation of the absolute bail granted to Mr. Warren Ander son, chairman of the Union Carbide Corporation, whose Bhopal pesticide plant killed over 2,000 persons last December. Mr. Anderson, who was arrested here in a dramatic manner on December 7 on several charges including the non-bailable Section 304 IPC (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), was released in an even more dramatic manner and later secretly whisked away to Delhi in a state aircraft.

Harmless goodbye kiss lands BJP leader in trouble

The innocent pecks, the RSS bosses were assured, was merely a display of platonic affection for the girls, who happened to be family friends. 

For the RSS disciplinarians, it seems, kiss and kin don't go together.
