According to reports, the police believe this tragic event may have been a murder-suicide linked to financial struggles. Avinash, a cab driver from the Kalaburagi district, had been living in Bengaluru with his family for six years.

Initial investigations suggest that Mamatha may have strangled her daughters before taking her own life on Sunday. Avinash was found hanging, indicating he died by suicide afterward.

Superintendent of Police C K Baba stated that further investigation is needed to confirm the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths.

Bengaluru Woman’s Murder Suspect Found Dead in Odisha

Bengaluru Woman’s Murder: Shocking Details Emerge in Mahalakshmi’s Tragic Death

Bengaluru Woman’s Murder: The man suspected of brutally murdering a woman in Bengaluru was found dead in Odisha on Wednesday. Muktiranjan Pratap Ray, 31, was allegedly involved in the gruesome killing of Mahalakshmi, whose dismembered body was discovered in a refrigerator in her Bengaluru apartment.

A 29-year-old woman named Mahalakshmi from Bengaluru was killed by her partner, Mukti Ranjan Ray, after frequent arguments over marriage. Mukti, 31, later took his own life by hanging from a tree in Odisha. Before his death, he left a suicide note confessing to the crime.

Mahalakshmi and Mukti had been in a relationship for some time, working together in a garment shop. Mukti wanted to marry her, but Mahalakshmi refused, saying she wasn’t ready for another relationship. On September 2, during one of their visits, they had a heated argument. Mahalakshmi allegedly attacked Mukti, biting and hitting him. In response, Mukti hit her back, killing her. He then dismembered her body and stored it in a refrigerator in her apartment.

Mahalakshmi had been living alone after separating from her estranged husband, Hemanth, earlier this year. She had also been involved in another relationship with a man named Ashraf, but they had split a year ago. Hemanth had previously accused Mahalakshmi of domestic violence in February.

After Mahalakshmi’s murder, Mukti confessed to his younger brother that he had killed her and wanted to escape. The police traced his location to a village in Odisha, where they found him dead. Investigations are ongoing to determine if his family helped him flee.

“Emergency”, the Kangana Ranaut Film

“Emergency”, the Kangana Ranaut Film, Awaits Crucial Decision for Release Following Court Hearing

Mumbai, September 26, 2024 — The fate of Kangana Ranaut’s much-anticipated film Emergency remains uncertain, following a key hearing in the Bombay High Court regarding its content. The film, which portrays significant political events during India’s Emergency period (1975-1977), has drawn attention from both audiences and regulatory bodies.

At the center of the dispute is the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its Revising Committee, which has recommended cuts to certain scenes in the movie. The committee’s concerns reportedly stem from sensitive depictions of historical events and political figures related to the Emergency, a turbulent chapter in India’s modern history when civil liberties were curtailed.

Zee Entertainment, the production house behind the film, has been given until September 30 to respond to the CBFC’s suggested edits. The media giant is currently reviewing the committee’s recommendations and will make a decision on whether to comply with the proposed changes or challenge them.

Kangana Ranaut, who not only directs the film but also stars as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has been vocal about the film’s importance. She has described Emergency as a significant artistic endeavor that sheds light on a crucial era in Indian history. Any changes to the film could potentially alter its narrative impact.

The Bombay High Court’s ruling will be pivotal in determining the film’s release. If Zee Entertainment agrees to the revisions, Emergency may soon hit the screens. However, if the production house or the director contests the cuts, the film’s release could face further delays as the matter is adjudicated.

As of now, the film’s release remains in limbo, with all eyes on Zee Entertainment’s next move. Fans and the film industry alike are awaiting September 30 with bated breath, eager to know whether Emergency will make it to cinemas as envisioned by Kangana Ranaut.

Heavy Rains Flood Warangal: Traffic Disrupted

Severe Flooding Brings Warangal District to a Standstill

Heavy rains have severely affected daily life in the Warangal region, causing flooding in many areas. The continuous downpour since Saturday night has led to streams, canals, and lakes overflowing, especially in the Eturunagaram Agency area of Mulugu district. This has brought traffic between Eturunagaram and Warangal to a complete stop.

In the Warangal district, the rainfall average was 5.96 cm, but some areas like Nekkonda mandal experienced heavier rain, reaching 10.17 cm. The heavy rains have flooded homes in Kesamudram, Mahabubabad district, and cut off access to many villages as roads and culverts are submerged. In Chennaraopet, heavy rain caused the collapse of a Penkutillu, and a shed’s roof was damaged in Jalli village. Local authorities have cleared debris to provide a temporary detour for affected residents.

National Highway 163, which connects Hyderabad to Bhupalpatnam in Chhattisgarh, is flooded due to the overflowing Jalagalancha Vagu stream. Similarly, Katakshapur Lake in Atmakur Mandal is overflowing, disrupting traffic on the national highway.

In Mahabubabad district, floodwater from Ayodhya Lake has spilled into low-lying areas, including Tallapoosapally village. Several other lakes in the region, like those in Nellikudur, Maripeda, and Kuravi mandals, have also breached, causing more flooding and traffic disruptions.

The district administration is actively responding to the crisis. Mahabubabad District Collector Adwait Kumar Singh has ordered rescue operations in 51 low-lying villages and arranged food, water, and medical support for affected residents.

In Warangal, the heavy rains have led to a flood-like situation in several localities under the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC). Roads were inundated, disrupting traffic in the city. Municipal authorities have warned residents in low-lying areas, like NTR Nagar and Sai Nagar Colony, to be cautious as floodwaters continue to rise. The Bhadrakali reservoir is also filling up rapidly, causing concern for nearby residents.

A control room has been set up at the Warangal Tahsildar office, and Special Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams have been deployed. GWMC officials have canceled leave for their employees to ensure they are available for emergency duties.

Heavy rains have also caused major disruptions in other districts like Nizamabad, Kamareddy, and Mahabubnagar. Floodwaters have inundated low-lying areas, and in some places, traffic has come to a standstill due to overflowing rivers and streams. In Narayanpet district, heavy rain on Sunday morning led to significant waterlogging, with Damaragidda Mandal receiving the highest rainfall in the state at 11.3 cm.

Local administrations across these districts are on high alert, working to manage the situation and provide relief to affected residents.

Kolkata Rape-Murder: Mother-in-Law Reveals Dark Past

The mother-in-law of Sanjay Roy, who is accused of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, has spoken out about his violent past. She revealed that Roy had caused her daughter to suffer a miscarriage and had physically assaulted her multiple times. She also suggested that others might be involved in the crime, doubting that Roy could have acted alone.

Durga Devi, the mother-in-law, shared that her daughter’s marriage with Roy was troubled. She mentioned that things were good for the first six months, but then Roy’s violent behavior led to a miscarriage. She said that a police complaint was filed after Roy assaulted her daughter and that her daughter’s health continued to suffer afterward.

Durga Devi expressed her strong dislike for Roy, stating that he was not a good person and deserved severe punishment. However, she also indicated that she believes he couldn’t have committed the crime by himself.

The rape and murder of the trainee doctor have sparked outrage and protests across India, with many demanding justice and strict punishment for those responsible. The Supreme Court criticized the West Bengal government for its handling of the case, particularly the delay in filing the First Information Report (FIR) and the initial claim by the hospital that the death was a suicide.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is now leading the investigation. They have been allowed to conduct a polygraph test on Roy and have conducted a 3D laser mapping of the crime scene at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Additionally, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up to look into allegations of financial irregularities at the hospital.

The Union government has also ordered the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to take over the security of the hospital, following a Supreme Court directive.

The case has drawn significant attention and raised questions about the safety of medical professionals in West Bengal.

American Woman Rescued After Being Chained in India

American Woman Found Starving and Chained to Tree in India

An American woman was found chained to a tree and screaming in a forest in Maharashtra, India. Lalita Kayi, 50, was discovered a week ago in Sindhudurg district after locals heard her cries for help. They notified the police, who freed her by cutting off the chain.

Kayi, who was very weak, was taken to a hospital where her health has since improved. On Friday, she was moved to a psychiatric facility for further care. Kayi has told the police that her husband chained her to the tree and left her there without food or water.

Police are searching for her husband in Tamil Nadu, based on the information she provided. Despite her rescue, many details about the case are still unclear.

Pandurang Gawkar, who found Kayi, said he heard her screaming while grazing his cattle. He described seeing her leg tied to the tree and her desperate condition. Villagers and police quickly arrived to help.

Police discovered Kayi had her passport, an Indian ID card, a mobile phone, a tablet, and 31,000 rupees with her. This suggests theft was not the motive. They noted it was fortunate Gawkar was in the area, as the forest is vast and she might have remained unnoticed otherwise.

Kayi was first taken to a local hospital, then transferred to a hospital in Goa. Doctors reported she had leg wounds and appeared to have a mental health condition. On Friday, her condition improved enough for her to be moved to a psychiatric hospital in Ratnagiri.

Kayi, who speaks only English, was a ballet dancer and yoga teacher from the US, specifically from Massachusetts. She moved to India about 10 years ago to study yoga and meditation, where she met her husband. Police believe they may have had a falling out.

Kayi has been unable to explain clearly how she ended up in the forest. She initially communicated with the police and doctors by writing notes. She claimed she was tied to the tree for 40 days without food or water and was given an injection that locked her jaw.

Police are investigating her claims, including the possibility of her surviving without food or water for so long. They have filed an attempted murder case against her husband and are investigating in Tamil Nadu, Goa, and Maharashtra. The US embassy in Delhi has declined to comment on the case due to privacy regulations.
