MUMBAI: Like after every blast, this time too the police are not sparing former members of the banned outfit Simi ( Students Islamic Movement of India). Some are ruing the day they decided to join the organization.
Take Kamal Khan, for example. The 46-year-old production engineer said: "Whenever there is a terror strike anywhere in the country, the police knock at our door."
Khan, a father of four, was called for questioning by the crime branch after Wednesday's blasts. His troubles began in 2002, when he was arrested for allegedly being a Simi member. "I spent 51 days in jail before being granted bail. My passport was taken and deposited in court. Even after nine years, the trial is not over. Witness examination has just begun," he said.
Khan, who imports cosmetics and electronics, said the police abuse him each time he is called. "Constables use dirty language in front of my family members. When I protest, they say they are under pressure to detect any (terror) case and ill-treat us under their bosses' pressure.
"After the first Ghatkopar blast, I was ordered by the crime branch to be at the unit by 9 am. But I would be allowed to leave only at 8 or 9 pm. This exercise went on for 40 days. I am used to it, but want an end to my troubles."
A few months ago, his godown was reduced to ashes, as a result of which he suffered losses worth Rs 70 lakh. "I was merely a friend of a few SIMI members," he said. "After the group was banned, a crackdown began and the police started arresting anyone who was close to or a friend of a SIMI member. I, too, was picked up. My business was ruined and several people in my profession avoided me for sometime. I am out on bail, attending court hearings, but the damage has been done."
The police also called Khan's business partner. "They ordered him to remove his belt, wrist watch and wallet," Khan said. "Then a policeman told him: 'You are not cooperating and will be arrested.' But he was allowed to leave afterwards."

Want a baby boy ?? Well, then eat full breakfast and fatty diet during early pregnancy, suggests a new study.
According to the University of Missouri study, what women eat while they are in the early stages of pregnancy influences the sex and health of their unborn baby, reports The Telegraph.
Women who eat a full breakfast and a high fat diet at the time of conception are more likely to have a boy, scientists claim.
A low fat diet with periods of long fasts favours girls, the researchers have found.
Dr Cheryl Rosenfeld, of the University of Missouri, and colleagues said: "High calorie diets generally favour birth of males over females, whereas low calorie diets tend to favour females over males.
In humans and mice, food restriction and a suboptimal diet during the period around conception and early pregnancy also lead to a surfeit of daughters, most probably due to selective loss of male foetuses, the most vulnerable sex in the womb."

Want a baby boy? Well, then eat full breakfast and fatty diet during early pregnancy, suggests a new study. According to the University of Missouri study, what women eat while they are in the early stages of pregnancy influences the sex and health of t Diets "containing 18 to 35 per cent of daily calorie intake from dietary protein, are associated with reductions in hunger and increased fullness throughout the day and into the evening hours," said Heather Leidy, study author and professor in nutrition A chemical found in food packaging could cheat a man of his virility and ability to attract females, a research said. For instance, the study showed how male mice exposed to Bisphenol A (BPA) as babies became feminised. Study author Cheryl Rosenfeld, If you think you have a long way to go for to plan for retirement, think again. A new study has indicated that planning is key to a healthy and happy retirement. Retirement is often viewed as a time to relax, travel, participate in leisurely activities Dietary protein reduces hunger and increases fullness in overweight men during weight loss programmes, a study says. Diets "containing 18 to 35 per cent of daily calorie intake from dietary protein, are associated with reductions in hunger and increased fullness throughout the day and into the evening hours," said Heather Leidy, study author and professor in nutrition at the University of Missouri. "In our study, the two groups ate either 25 or 14 per cent of calories from protein, while the total calories and percent of calories from fat stayed the same between the higher-protein and normal-protein diet patterns," the journal Obesity quoted Leidy as saying. Leidy and associates also conducted an eating frequency sub-study in which a group of participants on both normal-and higher-protein diets consumed either three or six meals per day. The researchers found that eating frequency had no effect on appetite and satiety on the normal-protein diet, according to a Missouri statement. However, subjects on the higher-protein diet who ate three meals per day experienced greater evening and late-night fullness than those who ate six meals per day. This study supports previous research that demonstrates higher-protein diets, including egg breakfasts, are associated with decreased calorie consumption. One of the studies demonstrated that overweight dieters who ate eggs for breakfast lost 65 per cent more weight and felt more energetic than those who ate a bagel breakfast of equal calories and volume. Protein also plays important in muscle maintenance and the prevention of sarcopenia, that is age-related muscle loss. Serena Ball, nutrition consultant and advisor to the Egg Nutrition Centre, suggests pairing protein-rich eggs with whole grains, fruits, vegetables and dairy for a complete, healthy breakfast
