A 27-year-old man was beaten up and thrown off the balcony on the fourth floor of a residential building in Sushant Lok in Gurgaon in the weekend evening after he was caught with his teenaged girlfriend. The man, allegedly attacked by some relatives of the teenager, succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.

fbloveThe victim, Ishwar alias Nishant, ran a garment shop in Jehangirpuri in Delhi. According to the police, Ishwar came in contact with the 18-year-old girl over Facebook some six months ago and the two became good friends.

They decided to meet on February 13 and Ishwar reached Gurgaon via metro. The girl was present at the HUDA metro station and the two went to her flat in Sushant Lok. The girl, who originally hails from Rajashan, works at a beauty parlour.

Around 8-30 p.m., the girl’s brother-in-law and his friend came to the flat and found the two together. The two men -- Ramesh and Anil -- allegedly beat up Ishwar and threw him off the balcony of the flat.

“Fearing that he might die, the duo rushed Ishwar to Sunrise Hospital on Khandsa Road and told the hospital authorities that he had met with a road accident. The hospital informed the police control room after the man succumbed to his injuries.

On sustained interrogation, the girl spilled the beans and the two were arrested,” said Station House Officer, Sushant Lok, Sandeep Singh.

Anil (25) is a resident of Mahendergarh, while Ramesh (30) belongs to Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan. Ishwar was married for two years and did not have any children.

His wedding anniversary was on February 14, said the police.

A case has been registered against the two men under Sections 302 (murder), 201 (disappearance of evidence) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

Muhammad, Kumar , Kunil, and Jabir,

The victim died because the killers decided to kill him. Not because he was using FB. I use FB too, but I am still alive. The killers did not use FB/tech to kill him.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
