Karunanidhi Buried At Chennai's Marina Beach, Next To Mentor Annadurai :  M Karunanidhi, a towering figure in Tamil Nadu politics, was given a state funeral and buried at Chennai's Marina Beach on Wednesday, in the presence of the country's top politicians. A massive crowd followed the DMK patriarch's casket from Rajaji Hall, where leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi had paid tribute to him earlier in the day. Two people were killed as the rush for a final glimpse of "Kalaignar", as the police used batons to control the surging crowds. The Madras High Court allowed Karunanidhi's burial at Marina Beach after overnight drama over the ruling AIADMK's refusal to give the five-time chief minister space at the beachfront which has memorials to three other former chief ministers including J Jayalalithaa. Karunanidhi died on Tuesday 

Suspended Anna University faculty G.V. Uma, 47, has filed an anticipatory bail petition in the Madras High Court in a case booked against her by Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) on the charge of having taken huge amount of money as bribe from students to boost their scores during revaluation of answer scripts. The offence had allegedly been committed when she served as the Controller of Examinations last year.

The anticipatory bail plea has been listed for hearing before Justice M. Dhandapani on Thursday. In her affidavit, the petitioner said, she held the post of Controller of Examinations between March 3, 2015 and March 2, 2018.

“We have secret information that during the Kanwar yatra you might create trouble…with this red card we are informing you that if you create any trouble during the Kanwar yatra, action will be taken against you. You will be held accountable.”

This is what “red cards” given to at least 250 residents — Muslims and Hindus — of Khelum village in Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh by police over the last week say. Apart from the police’s red cards, meant to deliver a “psychological message”, the district administration has identified 441 locals who “may cause trouble” and have had them sign “symbolic” bonds of Rs 5 lakh if they disturb the peace
