New Delhi: Five juveniles have been arrested for stabbing a 21-year-old youth to death on a crowded street in broad daylight, police said here yesterday.

Sachin, the deceased, was driving a bike with a pillion rider who managed to escape the attack.
“The victim was mercilessly killed by five juveniles who came running towards him with knives on Madangir’s busy street. There were locals around who did not attempt to stop the assault, presumably due to fear,” said a police official.

A police official said that the victim and the accused belong to Madangir area.
During investigation, the police said, it was revealed that the victim used to collect extortion money from the accused that led them to plan and execute his murder.
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa yesterday tabled a bill providing for one-year imprisonment and a fine of Rs25,000 for authorities of recreation clubs, associations and hotels refusing entry to people wearing dhoti or traditional Indian dress.
The bill tabled to preserve the culture, custom and heritage of Tamil Nadu was brought in following the refusal of entry to a Madras High Court judge, Justice D Hariparanthaman, by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) Club.
The chief minister also announced in the assembly that the government would come out with a law preventing clubs and other organisations from refusing entry to those clad in dhoti.
She termed the TNCA Club’s act as “sartorial despotism”.
According to the bill, if any recreation club, association, trust, company or society violates the provisions of the act, its licence or permission granted by the government shall be cancelled after due notice.
