Net tightens around Rao

A legal net tightened around the former Indian Prime Minister, PV Narasimha Rao (above), when a judge issued a warrant for his arrest in a forgery case.

The Delhi High Court suspended the warrant until next week. But the lower court judge's order brought the former Congress Party leader a step closer to becoming the first former prime minister of India to appear in court to face criminal charges, on 14 October. Reuter -New Delhi
