New Delhi, February 7: A newly-wed journalist was in for a rude shock when his bride dumped him and ran off with her 'husband' - a neighbour from Panipat - just nine days after the marriage. What's worse, the bride, Reena, did not leave alone. She stole Rs 6 lakh in cash and 33 tolas of gold that her in-laws had gifted her. Reena and her paramour were arrested from Jind, Haryana, on Sunday.


The incident was reported from the Bhajanpura area of northeast Delhi on November 15 last year. "Reena said that she was already married to a person called Vijay. Her brothers are involved in several incidents of extortion and theft in Panipat. After marriage, Vijay kept calling Reena to tell her that he cannot bear to be separated from her. Finally, Reena gave in and agreed to run away with Vijay," said additional DCP (northeast) B K Singh. Cops are raiding several places in Haryana to recover the booty.


The groom's family claims that he had received a threat on the day of the incident. was up against a gang which had roots in the Chambal ravines.


"On the night that Reena fled, one Vijay called me up from Panipat. He claimed to be a gangster and warned me that he would harm my family if I didn't withdraw the case from Bhajanpura police station," the groom said.


Investigations revealed that Reena had conned others too, in a similar fashion. Besides stealing, the gang extorts money from grooms by threatening to lodge false cases of physical abuse against them.


Heartbroken, but determined to take on the culprits, the journalist has approached Delhi Policeand lodged another complaint of threat. Cops are on the lookout for Reena's brothers who claimed to be government officers. "We have contacted Haryana Police for help. We are also analyzing call details and the video footage of the marriage ceremony to nab the other accused," the officer said.

Shillong, May 9: The poisonous mushrooms that killed six people at a remote village in Meghalaya's West Jaintia Hills district have been identified as Amanita phalloides, commonly known as the 'Death Cap', a senior official said on Saturday.

Six people, including a 14-year-old girl, of Lamin village along the India-Bangladesh border in Amlarem civil sub-division died after consuming wild mushrooms they collected from a nearby forest late last month.

The wild mushroom has been identified as Amanita phalloides and is hepatotoxic as it directly affects the liver, state Director of Health Services (MI) Dr Aman War told PTI.

He said it has been established after an investigation that the cause of the deaths was the poisonous mushrooms.

At least 18 persons from three families were taken ill after consuming the mushrooms.

The symptoms after consuming the poisonous fungus include vomiting, headache and unconsciousness, the senior doctor said.

Most of those taken ill, including a pregnant woman, have already recovered and gone home. Therefore, people can survive as it depends on the amount of poison that you have consumed. Only one person was unaffected, maybe he did not consume much, he said.

Three people are still undergoing treatment and are recovering. Two of them are at the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) and one in Woodland Hospital, Dr War said.

He said the health department can only appeal to the people, especially those in the rural areas, to refrain from eating wild mushrooms, while the horticulture department should take measures to create awareness.
