An Air France flight travelling from Mauritius to Paris has made an emergency landing in Kenya after a suspicious package was found on board.

Amit Doda, nephew of Akali leader Shiv Lal Doda and co-accused in the Dalit murder case in Punjab's Abohar has surrendered before the police today.

The latest development came as Shiv Lal Doda, the main accused and the alleged owner of the farmhouse where the incident took place, continued to remain elusive.

"Amit Doda surrendered before Superintendent of Police Headquarters Abohar last night," Deputy Inspector General of police, Ferozepur Range, Amar Singh Chahal said. However, he said that Shiv Lal Doda, main accused in the case, has not been arrested so far.

He has no love lost for the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) but former India batsman Virender Sehwag threw his weight behind its under-fire ex-President Arun Jaitley for "being available for players in case of any difficulty".

Finance Minister Jaitley, who was headed DDCA for 13 years till 2013, has been accused of corruption by the Delhi Government. The Delhi government has demanded that Jaitley must resign or be "removed" from the union cabinet to enable an independent probe.

Sehwag, who switched loyalties to Haryana from Delhi and retired from international cricket earlier this year, steered clear of making any political claim but lauded Jaitley's role in helping players in a series of tweets.

The juvenile offender of the horrific December 16 gangrape case was on Sunday released from the correctional home after the Supreme Court refused the dramatic post-midnight move of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) to stay his release by giving an urgent hearing.

The victim's family, miffed with the decision, has planned a protest at Delhi's India Gate. The police has declared Section 144 at the same location, which was also the venue of hisoric protest three years ago as the news of the horrific rape shook the nation.

A vacation bench comprising Justices A K Goel and U U Lalit in their order pronounced at 2 AM, posted the matter for hearing on Monday.

However, DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal and the lawyers of the women's panel hoped that since the matter has become sub judice, the government and Delhi Police will not release the juvenile offender.
