INDIA: 70-yr-old sect leader in police net for rape
By  benjamin odunayo
The long arm of the law has caught up with Kaushlendra Prapannacharya Falahari Maharaja, 70, after it was alleged that he sexually assaulted a 21-year-old at his headquarters in Alwar, a town in Rajashtan state.
According to police officer Jaisingh Nathawat, the matter was brought to the notice of security operatives after the parents of the girl who are said to be followers of the sect leader complained that he assaulted their daughter on August 7.
In her confessional statement, the victim, revealed that she had been warned by the sect leader not to tell anyone about the incident but she decided to break her silence after another self-proclaimed guru, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, was tried and sentenced to 20 years in prison last month for raping two followers.
Reports say the suspect has been sent to prison by a court for 15 days while the police complete their investigation into the case.
Recall last month that Gurmeet better known as ‘godman’ in India was jailed after he was convicted by a court for raping two of his followers in 2002.
A judge in Rohtak town in Haryana, a northern state in India handed out the punishment to the 50-year-old sect leader.

Oh no, something went boom. What's our disaster recovery plan?

Who said we didn't need one in the budget meeting... Ah, yes Sponsored Disaster recovery systems mostly suck. There are a seemingly unlimited number of them, but finding ones that aren't either utterly maddening or ruinously expensive is rare. Fortunately, ease of use is starting to be a product dimension that the storage industry is competing on again, so options are emerging. Regardless of the size of your organization, backups are absolutely essentially. Though it's been said before, it needs to be said again: if your data doesn't exist in at least two places, then it does not exist. In a perfect world, organizations of all sizes would also hold disaster recovery dear, with both backups and disaster recover...

Silicon Valley's Corrupt Underbelly: It's Far Worse Than We Thought

Feb 22, 2018 10:55 AM PT Tech Industry Events and Webinars Find upcoming e-commerce and technology conferences, trade shows, workshops and webinars.  Visit ALL EC Events today. After  addressing the topic  of sexual harassment and misconduct in Silicon Valley last month, I finally got my hands on a copy of  Brotopia , an eye-opening new book, and a lot of executives should be happy I did not pursue my career in law enforcement. Otherwise I would be working my butt off to get them off the streets behind bars. Everyone connected to tech -- especially investors, employees or customers of tech firms -- should read this book. Specifically, for investors, it will give you insights into a level of extreme avoidable risk that has not been factored into the market -- at least not yet. If I were interested in developing a strategy either to ensure a Republican win in the mid-term elections or to move the center of tech to China, India, South Korea or Israel, thi...
