Saeed is the founder of <keyword id="53557" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lashkar-e-Taiba">Lashkar-e-Taiba</keyword> — the militant group held responsible for killing 166 in a four-day- attack on Mumbai in 2008. The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) arrested Saeed while he was travelling from Lahore to Gujranwala. However, the details are yet awaited on the charges he was arrested for. The CTD officials are expected to hold a news conference later in the day regarding the arrest. Mumbai terror attacks On November 26, 2008, a group of Pakistani gunmen launched a series of attacks at prominent various locations of Mumbai like Taj Mahal Palace &amp; Tower Hotel, CST station, the Trident Hotel, Leopold Cafe and Nariman House at a Jewish area. The attack which lasted for four days, killed at least 160 people including foreigners and wounded over 300. The epicentre of the terror attack was the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel that stood overlooking Gateway of India monument. At least 31 people were reported dead during the incident inside the hotel. Only one of the ten terrorists who arrived into the country, was captured alive. Ajmal Amir Kasab was later tried and hanged for his crimes. Arrest &amp; Release Hafiz Saeed is known to have masterminded the attack where the terrorists arrived into the city via a boat. He was placed under house arrest by Pakistan’s Counter Terrorism Department in September 2009. However, he was cleared of all charges a month later and allowed to move freely. In January 2017, Saeed was placed under house arrest for disturbing peace and security, but released in November the same year after the Lahore High Court concluded that there was "nothing tangible" in the evidence presented against him. After his January 2017 arrest, his charity, JuD, rebranded itself as Tehreek Azadi Jammu and Kashmir (TAJK). India had been protesting against Saeed’s exoneration from his crimes. (With IANS)

25 Cities In India To Become Wi-Fi Enab​led By June 2015

New Delhi, Mar 19 () The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed the claims of grandchildren of late Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur over the ownership of the iconic Jai Mahal hotel. The appellate tribunal has set aside the previous orders of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which had allowed Maharaja Dev Raj and Rajkumari Lalitya Kumar majority stake in the company Jai Mahal Hotels Pvt Ltd, which owns the majestic property. A two-member NCLAT bench observed that Rajkumar Dev Raj and Rajkumari Lalitya "can not claim title on the basis of succession certificate dated February 19, 2009". "The alleged acts of oppression complained of by 1st and 2nd respondents (Rajkumar Dev Raj and Rajkumari Lalitya) occurred around 2001. Maharani Gayatri Devi on the death of Maharaj Jagat Singh (her son) on February 5, 1997 became his sole legatee by virtue of will dated June 23, 1996," NCLAT said in an order dated March 12. "Therefore, Rajkumar Dev Raj and Rajkumari Lalitya cannot claim inheritance on original 5,050 shares to be legal heirs of Late Maharaj Jagat Singh on his death (February 5, 1997)," it said. The NCLAT also said that "alleged acts of oppression complained of by 1st and 2nd respondents occurred around 2001" and they became shareholders of Jai Mahal Hotels on November 14, 2008 and February 19, 2009. "The Tribunal (NCLT) failed to consider the abovesaid aspects and wrongly held that Rajkumar Dev Raj and Rajkumari Lalitya inherited the shares of Late Maharaj Jagat Singh on February 5, 1997 on the death of Maharaj Jagat Singh," it said while setting aside the previous order. NCLAT further said that Maharani Gayatri Devi, who was at all material times including in 2001, was the sole legatee of Late Maharaja Jagat Singh, had through a letter on April 10, 2001 left it open to Jai Mahal Hotel to offer the shares to other existing shareholders and declined to subscribe to any shares. "In view of the aforesaid finding the impugned judgement dated August 1, 2018 passed by the Tribunal cannot be upheld. It is accordingly set aside," said NCLAT. Earlier on August 1, 2018 NCLT had restored the ownership of Jai Mahal hotel in favour of grandchildren of late Maharani Gayatri Devi. Allowing the petition of Gayatrai Devi's grandchildren, NCLT had set aside the resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of the company held in March 1999 and March 2001 regarding appointments on board and dilution of their stake. It had restored the "position ante immediately upon death of Maharaja Jai Singh " and set aside the resolution passed in the board meeting regarding allotment of shares. NCLT had restored their original position of the shareholding as well as the board of directors, and thereby making the grandchildren of Maharani Gayatri Devi as the owners of the Jai Mahal hotel in Jaipur. The grandchildren had earlier won the battle for transmission of their father's shares in their names. Built in 1745, the Jai Mahal Palace is now operated as a hotel by Taj group of Hotels. It has 94 rooms and six suites. KRH DRR

This sparks the question: What will Trump eat while in India? </li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/?hprecirc-bullet">Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories</a>.</li></ul>Donald Trump, a lover of beef, fast food, and, of course, ketchup, is in the midst of a trip to India where cows are sacred in Hinduism, the country's most prominent religion.Moreover, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is hosting the president and First Lady Melania Trump, is vegetarian.The India tour includes much fanfare during stops in the capital city of Delhi, Agra - where the Taj Mahal is located, and Modi's home state of Gujarat where he previously served as Chief Minister. The visit also includes a massive "Namaste Trump" rally at the world's largest cricket stadium, Sardar Patel Stadium near Ahmedabad, a visit to the Taj Mahal, and several meals, including a lavish spread at Rashtrapati Bhavan, India's presidential palace.And that's where the issue arises.Trump's widely publicized diet typically includes burgers, meatloaf, and well-done steaks.An unnamed source who has eaten with Trump multiple times told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/politics/donald-trump-india-beef-vegetarian/index.html">CNN</a>, "I have never seen him eat a vegetable." The source said the president will infrequently eat a salad, but meat is a clear preference. Other countries such as Singapore and Saudi Arabia have tried to cater to Trump's palate during official visits, going so far as to serve lamb and other meat alternatives, if beef is not available. However, that's unlikely to happen in India - even if Trump's aides intervene to try and keep the president comfortable. Spicy or even slightly exotic foods and vegetarian meals have the opposite effect on him, according to CNN."I don't know what he's going to do in this case. They don't serve cheeseburgers," an unnamed ex-government official said to CNN. In fact, beef has been a hot-button issue for Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party government since they took power in 2014. Although India is officially considered a secular country, Modi and his ruling party follow the ideology of a Hindu fundamentalist group called the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which has long pushed for a nationwide ban on slaughtering cattle, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/leezamangaldas/2017/06/05/indias-got-beef-with-beef-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-countrys-controversial-beef-ban/#1207130253c2">Forbes</a> reported. An estimated 18 states, including Gujarat, have gone ahead with the prohibition.That means even McDonald's, Trump's fast food chain of choice, doesn't serve red meat. You'll find chicken and paneer or cottage cheese in their burgers. The situation was reversed when Modi visited the White House in 2014 in the middle of a strict fast that he was observing for religious reasons. So he drank warm water while others ate goat cheese, halibut, and mango crème brûlée, CNN reported.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/trump-india-visit-photos-modi-2020-2">Trump kicked off his India visit with roaring crowds, a stop at Gandhi's home, and a massive rally</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-mispronounce-indian-cricket-legends-tendulkar-kholi-names-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T">Trump struggled to pronounce the names of India's two most famous sports stars at a rally to kick off his visit there</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-builds-wall-trump-avoid-seeing-slum-ahmedabad-visit-2020-2">India hastily erected a 7-foot wall so that Trump wouldn't have to see a slum on his way to a rally</a></li></ul>
