| Ex-MLA to undergo brain mapping | | BJP’s Jugal Kishore, 2 brothers named in 1999 murder case | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 9: As law takes its own course, the former Member of Legislative Assembly from Nagrota constituency is being taken for a narco-analysis and brain mapping to ascertain his involvement, if any, in a murder case.
The former MLA and BJP leader Jugal Kishore along two of his brothers have been arrayed as suspects in murder of one Dina Nath who body was found under mysterious circumstances near Tawi bed near Kishanpur Manwal on March 30, 1999. A case in this connection stands registered with Police Station Jhajjar Kotli.

JAMMU, Oct 9: When Mamta Banergee hooted the TATA’s out of Singur, Jammu and Kashmir was perhaps the only big state which did not make a bid to woo Nano dream but even if it had done so, the late 1970s Bajaj experience was enough to keep the big industrialists away from this state.

Soon after Ratan Tata decided to abandon the Nano car project in Singur several states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan offered land to the Tatas for the project.
