A ₹10,000 loan ends in the murder of a 3-year old girl in India — and Bollywood has joined the national outrage

Passion exceeds everything and this was proved right by the students of the <keyword id="44216" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aligarh-Muslim-University">Aligarh Muslim University</keyword> (AMU) who overcame all odds and designed a racing car, which was even chosen for a premier racing event in the UK. 
 
The group of engineering students- also known as the SAE-ZHCET Collegiate Club- faced a lot of financial constraints as no one was ready to fund them. But, nothing deterred them to realize their dreams and despite lack of modern tools and technologies, they designed a racing car, which was built at a minimal amount. The group did not disclose the exact amount. 
 
Specifications 
 
 
 The racing car is one of a kind. It has a maximum speed of 120 Kmph and runs on a <keyword id="20630" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Honda">Honda</keyword> Cbr 250 cc engine that has been improved and totally customized using Bazzaz Engine Management System for better traction. 
 
The car is clutchless, which helps in improving lap timings. The cooling system, or the radiator, and exhaust system of the car has been completely designed and engineered by the team itself. 
 
The team also designed its own plenum for fuel combustion. The body of the car is made of carbon fibre, includes a tubular space-frame chassis, and has been made aerodynamic so as to reduce the drag forces on the vehicle. 
 
Fund crunch 
 
Areeb Mahmood, secretary of the club, said getting funds was the real issue. “Investors are skeptical before investing as the idea is not that viral in India yet. We are new and couldn’t get many sponsors. AMU did as much it could, like providing technical support as well as financial. But a racing car needs more than that.” 
 
Mahmood told the team faced many challenges during the international racing event in UK but the team came up with innovative ideas to get the problems solved. 
 
“We were facing financial issues when we decided to participate in the international event. After we were done with the car, we didn’t have much money left and we still had to take our car. So we traveled on our own money so as to cut down the expenses. We also dismantled the car and sent it to UK in pieces so as to save some money. Then we had to reassemble it there,” said Mahmood. 
 After a lot of struggle, the group was backed by Paytm, including AMU Alumni Associations of Jeddah, Qatar, Riyadh, Aaane, <keyword id="3807928" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="zhcet">ZHCET</keyword> Alumni Association. The group also attributes its success to Professor (Retd) Ziauddin, who played a crucial role in helping the team during the UK event. 
 
“We still have scope for improvement in the car but we can’t afford that right now. Getting good sponsorships in a small city has always been difficult but we are trying hard to get big names associated with us,” said Faizan Anwar, Vice-Chairman of the club. 
 
Efficycle 
 
 
 
Apart from the racing car, the group has also built an efficycle, a hybrid vehicle that operates on paddle as well as electric power. 
 
The efficycle model was ranked seventh in the All India event in Jalandhar and also won second prize in acceleration section of the efficycle event. 
 
Accolades 
 For its racing car, the team was ranked 55th in its first completion at <keyword id="1753008" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="supra">Supra</keyword> 2014 and in 2015, they ranked 19th in Formula Student India. 
 
In 2016, they were selected for an international event in UK. They also stood first in the National Cost Event and 31st worldwide. 
 They have also won the award of most popular car award by <keyword id="6381883" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="jk">JK</keyword> tyres. 
 
The team is looking forward to participating in an event -Formula Bharat in Kari Motorway, Coimbatore, soon.

<keyword id="6367269" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="aligarh">Aligarh</keyword>, the upcoming movie based on the life, and death, of <keyword id="44216" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aligarh-Muslim-University">Aligarh Muslim University</keyword> professor <keyword id="3228864" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dr-Shrinivas-Ramchandra-Siras">Dr. Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras</keyword>, has been in news recently over the director <keyword id="4684" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hansal-Mehta">Hansal Mehta</keyword> expressing disappointment over the A rating that the censor board has given to the movie.

	However, censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani has termed this as a cheap way to promote the movie, saying that a movie based on homosexuality was bound to be given an Adult rating.

	Talking about the movie, it gives us a glimpse of the life of Dr. Siras, who was suspended from his job as a professor of Marathi at AMU, because of his sexual orientation.
 After winning the case against the University, Siras died in suspicious circumstances. While a National Award winning actor <keyword id="15439" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Manoj-Bajpai">Manoj Bajpai</keyword> plays the role of Siras, another national award winning actor <keyword id="1946388" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rajkummar-Rao">Rajkummar Rao</keyword> plays a journalist who takes it upon himself to bring the case into the eyes of everyone.

	Talking of Dr. Siras, the Marathi Doctorate became a professor at AMU in 1998. Married for almost 20 years, Siras ended up getting divorced after a long separation.

	It was in 2010 that two men forced their way into Siras' house and caught him having consensual sex with another man, a rickshaw puller. After this, he was suspended by AMU, which claimed "gross misconduct'' on his part. He filed a case in the Allahabad High Court on 1 April 2010, which he went on to win because of the involvement of students in the case, and the fact that homosexuality was not a crime in India back then. 
	 
	

	However, on 7 April 2010, Siras died suspiciously in his apartment, a day before he was to get the official letter to revoke his suspension and get back his job.

	Prima facia, the case was thought to be that of a suicide, but post-mortem reports showed some traces of poison in his body, because of which six people were arrested, and three journalists and four AMU officials were thought to be behind the crime.

	However, lack of evidence forced the police to shut down the case.

	The plot looks interesting enough for a Bollywood movie, and the acting caliber of both Bajpai and Rao make it a must watch. The movie has been screened at various international film festivals, winning accolades all over.

	Adult rating or not, the movie proves the fact that Indian cinema is finally changing, and this time, for good.

In response to the letter, the management has said that the hostels require over 500 kg meat (buffalo) every day for their 19 dining halls, and the management is unable to arrange this quantity because of lack of operational slaughterhouses in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Aligarh-movie-on-AMU-professor-Dr-Siras/articleshow/50816657.cms">Aligarh</a>. 
 
To this, Kalika Singh, regional officer of UP Pollution Control Board, said, "Of the seven slaughterhouses in Aligarh, four are operational at present. But due to non-availability of animals, they, too, are not providing any meat."

everything you need to know about election results

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Uttar+Pradesh+assembly+polls&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Uttar Pradesh assembly polls</a> are just round the corner and political parties are gearing up for the seven-phase <keyword id="6355644" type="EVENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="elections">elections</keyword> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bharatiya+Janata+Party&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Bharatiya Janata Party</a>'s war room in Lucknow is in full attack mode. They are looking forward to 10 "mega rallies, by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=PM+Narendra+Modi&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">PM Narendra Modi</a>. The tech area is manned by senior leaders and information technology professionals, including some from Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). They are directing massive messaging efforts, like WhatsApp posts that can reach 12 lakh voters at one go. 
 
The party headquarters also monitors video vans and campaigners touring the vast state on motorbikes. The party claims the four- and two-wheelers have reached out to 30 lakh people so far. 
 
There priority right now is planning Modi's rallies. 
 
"We are proposing one rally of PM Modi during each of the seven phases of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=UP+elections&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">UP elections</a>. There may be two rallies in a phase too. The first may be in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Muzaffarnagar&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Muzaffarnagar</a> or <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Aligarh&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Aligarh</a> towards the end of this month,” JPS Rathore, <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword> state vice-president, told ET. 
 
Four hundred video vans and 1,650 motorbike-riding campaigners are building the 'buzz', war room staffers said. They said 20 lakh 'aspiration' postcards have been collected from voters; these messages are being analysed and will feed into BJP's manifesto. 
 
BJP's Uttar Pradesh IT head Sanjay Rai also said that the state unit runs 8,000 <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=WhatsApp&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">WhatsApp</a> groups for six regions, and boasts a total reach of 12 lakh people. 
 
"WhatsApp is the most popular networking application in the state - around 4.5 crore people use it. We can reach 12 lakh people with our message with the push of a button. The message is forwarded by them invariably to other groups they may be part of,” Rai told ET. 
 
A 110-seater call centre is also operational in the war room. Each operator makes 250 calls daily, talking to booth committee heads, and then creates feedback reports. 
 
BJP has 1.4 lakh booths in UP. There's also a research centre and an electronic media reporting department. These outfits analyse local issues that can influence campaign messaging. A team of over a dozen generates content for UP BJP on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=social+media&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">social media</a>. The state unit says its Facebook page reaches 1.3 crore. 
 
BJP leaders say apps detailing the party's poll pitch can be downloaded quickly - three apps in 15 seconds - from devices available in the party's district offices. Camps set up at some rallies will also offer this facility. 
 However, old-style campaign tactics have not been abandoned. On January 13, BJP is organising 'Mati <keyword id="4057046" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="tilak-pratigya">Tilak Pratigya</keyword>' events at 75 locations in the state. The party says 5,000 farmers are expected to turn up at each location. Each farmer is supposed to get a tilak (a mark on the forehead), which will represent, BJP leaders say, the party's pledge to "solve, farmers' issues.

Here’s a look at the war room

If you’re someone who’s constantly looking out for some <keyword id="6359225" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="adventure">adventure</keyword> and euphoria, we have some good news. 
 
Just two and a half hours from <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=delhi&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Delhi</a>, a drop zone is ready for you to go <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=skydiving&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">skydiving</a>. Yes, you heard us right. 
 <keyword id="1761502" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Skyhigh">Skyhigh</keyword>, a new <keyword id="381741" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="skydiving">skydiving</keyword> agency in <keyword id="6367269" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="aligarh">Aligarh</keyword> will help make that wish come true by allowing you to <keyword id="3310488" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="jump-out-of-a-plane">jump out of a plane</keyword>. 
 
Think free-falling, spinning through the air at 15,000 feet (<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=paragliding&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">paragliding</a> doesn’t sound that adventurous anymore, does it?) and your heart beating like there is no tomorrow. 
 
The prospect of jumping out of a moving plane is scary, no doubt. But imagine the adrenaline rush you’re going to feel when you’re out of the door. 
 
Are you ready to fly like a bird through the sky and feel the sky-kind-of-high? 
 
There’s no point waiting then. Hurry up and book a spot. It could either be a birthday gift to yourself or a birthday trip with your friends. Either way it’s going to be pretty memorable. 
 
 
 
At the moment, Skyhigh offers four types of jump packages. There is the regular Tandem Jump, which includes a jump with an instructor, a free T-shirt or a mug and is priced at Rs 25,000. The second is aptly called A Jump To Remember, which is a tandem jump aided with videos and photos of your jump and will set you back by Rs 30,000. 
 
Following it is the group package called Four or More jump, where you get 10% off if you book in a group, plus pictures and videos, which would roughly come up to Rs 27,000 per head. Last but not the least, there’s also a Scindian Deal Jump- applicable to people who are from Scindia. 
 
If you’re worried about safety, don’t be. The Skyhigh team boasts of the most experienced skydivers from around the world and their chief pilot has the distinction of clocking over 6000 hours of flying. 
 
The team abides by the international standards laid down by United States Parachute Association (USPA) while their aircrafts are certified by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and most importantly, they promise to take good care of you! 
 
 
 
Few things to remember before you take the plunge- you need to be 90 kgs and below, incase you’re younger than 18- you will be needing your parents presence and if you’re older than 60- a doctor’s approval. 
 
Still nervous? Don’t worry, they’ll give you a full hour of training before you set foot on the plane. 
 
Go ahead and feel the rush!
