TAMIL NADU
Two years back, officials in the industrial district of Cuddalore saw an apparently deranged young man wandering around. He was found mentally unfit and send to a mental rehabilitation and psychiatric centre that NGO Oasis runs, by Collector Rajendra Ratnoo. After continued medication, he somehow recovered to a level that he could offer his address. The NGO had to get an interpreter to understand him because he was speaking Urdu and Kashmiri. Once sure that he was correct, his family was contacted. Last week, his brother Nazir A Shah and uncle Mushtaq Ahmad reached the centre and met Farooq. It was an emotional reunion.
DELHI
Supreme Court has allowed the BSF court to go ahead with the trial in Zahid Farooq murder case but barred it from passing any final order. The case is listed next fortnight. BSF officer R K Birdhi and his security guard Lukhvinder Kumar are held responsible for murdering teenager Zahid on February 5, 2010 outside his residence in Brein Nishat. The case is one of the major battles for justice that has underwent various turns and twists. J&K government wants the trial in a civil court and the paramilitary wants the trial to happen in the BSF court.
KARGIL
Perhaps for the first time, the endangered snow leopards turn up in Kargil to get itself recorded on the infra-red camera. The WWF installed three infra-red cameras in Kargil mountains in 2010 but one was apparently stolen by a notoriously shy creature while the two others have clicked 500 shots of the high-altitude beast. In an earlier attempt in 2009, another camera in a different belt of the same region captured snow leopard preying on a heard of Asiatic ibex. Estimates suggest only 4000 to 6500 snow leopards are left in the wild.

The accused Sandeep Singh alias Sunny, Akbar Ali and Amit Singh Jasrotia have been arrested. Jammu is witnessing a surge in painful crimes.
