An RSS worker, who is an accused in the murder of Jijesh, a CPI(M) activist in Nangarath Peedika, has been arrested after 11 years. Prabeesh Kumar, 37, a resident of Chembra Parvati Nivas near Mahe, was arrested in Delhi by a Crime Branch team led by DySP Rashid Kannur with the help of the Interpol. Jijesh was killed in 2008. After the incident, Kumar fled to the Gulf. He was taken into custody by the Interpol in the UAE and handed over to the Kerala police in Delhi. Kumar is the ninth accused in the case.To Urvashi, textiles are meant to tell stories of cultures. “I incorporate a new craft language every year,” she says. Urvashi likes to add modern spins to traditional textiles and techniques. For instance, she brings a geometric arch to block-printing. “In Prana, showcased at Lakme Fashion Week along with other collections curated over 15 years, I worked with tissue and metallic yarn woven in Chanderi, and merged it with jamdani. On the ramp, the collections celebrated lehariya done with kota doriya, a sheer tent dress with chaap silai, metallic block prints, hand-woven denims, Kutch weaves with kala cotton and Maheshwari weaves; you will also find a lot of micro-pleating with kantha stitch,” she says.
