Cops' frame-up formula: Blood group A+B = AB

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
Is AB blood group a result of mixing blood group A with group B? At least some Delhi Police sleuths think so. But for this lack of knowledge of elementary biology, these cops would have got away with their devious plan of planting evidence to "solve" a murder case and framing an innocent man.

In a desperate attempt to crack a double murder with no eyewitnesses, these policemen planted blood group AB on the weapon of offence thinking it would explain the killing of a man and his wife who had blood groups A and B, respectively.

Devotees come with brooms and line up at a 10-year-old temple in Uttar Pradesh everyday - not to clean the premises but to offer the 'jhadus' to the deity, Hindu god Shiva.

At the Shivpataaleshwar temple in Beehajoi village near Moradabad, some 250 km from state capital Lucknow, people offer brooms in the belief it will appease Shiva and ward off skin ailments, heath disorders and also make their wishes come true.

Teachers told to mind their blouses

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
CHENNAI: Teachers in government schools are unhappy over a recent circular sent by the school education department asking chief and district education officers to instruct teachers to ‘‘dress decently”. However, officials say that a dress code for teachers only makes them more dignified and respected.

The instruction is not new; it’s just a reminder. And teachers are aghast at the reason cited for the move. The communication apparently was issued after parents of students in government schools complained that female teachers came to school wearing blouses that were too fashionably cut and that male teachers wore casual attire.

My friend Ramit (name changed on request) called me late Friday night. He sounded quite agitated. “You know, Haagen Dazs has opened its Delhi outlet”. I reacted with a joke. “Good, now you can spend a lot more on an ice cream than you normally would. But why are you agitated?”

“Because I am not allowed to enter”, he said. Now, Ramit is not like one of the politician’s son or into drugs, the sort who are often in news in India’s capital for all the wrong reasons, nor is he the kind who will shoot someone down because she refused to serve him a cone of ice cream.
