The viral video prompted many to question the food and safety standards of Indian eateries. 

“There is something wrong with fast food, somewhere there is a cockroach, somewhere there is a lizard, somewhere there is a rat. Avoid all these things, eat fruits and drink juice,” advised one man. 

“Big shop, tasteless food. Such a big brand and such cheap behaviour,” wrote another. 

“Nowadays, avoid eating outside food as far as possible,” commented one person. 

According to reports, the owner of the shop has been questioned regarding the incident and food samples from the popular eatery have been sent for further inspection.

A 32-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide on Friday morning by jumping from the 11th floor amid allegations of dowry harassment against her husband, who has been arrested, police said.

The woman has been identified as Aarti, police added.

According to the Nand Gram police, the woman’s body was sent for postmortem. Police have arrested her accused husband Mayank Tyagi. Aarti’s father Rajeev Tyagi has lodged a complaint accusing Mayank, his father Vinod, and mother Sadhna of subjecting the woman to severe dowry-related torture.

In his complaint, Rajeev Tyagi alleged that Aarti’s marriage to Mayank on January 15, 2020 was marked by persistent demands for additional dowry beyond what was already given.

“Aarti had expressed her suffering through personal communications and a handwritten diary recovered from her belongings. The diary has details of her grievances and distress,” her father alleged.

Police said they are currently investigating whether Aarti’s death was a result of suicide or if she was forcibly thrown from the building by her husband and in-laws.

SHO Dharm Pal Singh of the Nand Gram police station said an investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances surrounding her death.

“The number may change once other processes, including age verification of the children, are completed. Action has been taken on the complaint of Mission Mukti,” he added.

A senior police officer said that due to the poor economic condition of their families, these children were brought from their respective states to Ghaziabad on the pretext of providing jobs.

“They (the minors) were then put to work at International Agro Foods without their prior knowledge of the nature of the work. The police are searching for the persons who brought these children from their states to initiate action against them,” the officer said.

According to the police, the NCPCR had received a complaint that approximately 40 children from Bihar and West Bengal were being forced to work in inhumane conditions at a slaughterhouse in Ghaziabad.

This complaint was lodged with the Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate.

“Based on the information provided by the officials of the NCPCR, the police assembled a team. On Wednesday, a joint operation was conducted at International Agro Foods in Dasna. During the operation, 57 minors were safely rescued from the slaughterhouse,” the officer said.

International Agro Foods is involved in meat processing, freezing, and exports. The company supplies a significant amount of its products overseas.

Police on Tuesday arrested two youths for killing a 24-year-old man and dumping his body in a drain in Tibrha village.

The deceased has been identified as Deen Mohammad (24), a resident of Meerut. An FIR was lodged by Mohammad’s father on May 16 at Modinagar police station after the body was found on May 15.

The victim’s two ‘friends’ – Taj Mohammad (20) and Puneet Gosain (20) – were arrested from near the drain in Tibrha, DCP Rural Vivek Chand Yadav said.

During interrogation, the accused told the police that they have two more friends — Nikit Gujjar (21) and Tushar (21).

A few days ago, Deen Mohammad and Nikit had a quarrel following which Mohammad, in a fit of anger, damaged Nikit’s car. To take revenge for the loss, the four planned “to teach him a lesson” and Mohammad was abducted in a car and beaten to death, the police alleged.

His body was dumped at the drain in Tibrha village.

Taj Mohammad and Puneet Gosain have been sent to jail, while their two accomplices Nikit Gujjar and Tushar are still absconding, the DCP said.

A shocking video has emerged from Ghaziabad that shows a young man collapsing in a gym while running on a treadmill. The incident took place on Saturday in Saraswati Vihar. The victim, Siddharth Kumar Singh, experienced a sudden and fatal heart attack during his exercise routine. This is yet another case where a person has collapsed suddenly. A few months ago, one man died while waiting at the office of a property dealer, and another one collapsed during the dance at a wedding.

The moment in Ghaziabad has been captured on CCTV installed in the gym and shows Mr Singh stopping suddenly on the treadmill and slowly losing consciousness. Seconds later, he collapses on the machine.

Other concerned gym-goers rushed to help Mr Singh but couldn’t revive him.

The video also shows two men standing a few feet away from Mr Singh during the incident, and running quickly to pick him up after he fell on the treadmill.

New Delhi:

A lawyer was shot dead at his office in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad on Wednesday. The lawyer – Monu Chaudhary – was in his chambers, which is inside the district court complex, and eating when two men burst in and opened fire. Mr Chaudhary’s blood-covered body was found slumped in the chair.

A case was filed with the Sihani Gate Police Station and the investigation is ongoing, as part of which a forensic team gathered evidence and the body has been sent for post-mortem.

In addition, security footage from CCTV cameras installed across the court premises are being secured, Nipun Agarwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (City), told NDTV.

Preliminary information indicates Mr Chaudhary was shot dead at 2 pm. The attackers reportedly arrived on foot and fled after committing the crime

The killing comes as legal practitioners across western UP went on a 24-hour strike today to protest the clash between lawyers and police in the state’s Hapur region. In anticipation of further clashes police had been deployed at all court and tehsil complexes in the state.

However, the fact that armed men broke through this security cordon, murdered Mr Chaudhary and then escaped has led to questions being asked of the police.

After news of the gruesome murder, scores of lawyers gathered around the crime scene and soon protests broke out as Mr Chaudhary’s colleagues demanded justice. At the time of the attack other lawyers were meeting to chalk out their strategy on the Hapur issue.

Hapur Lawyers Protest

On Tuesday the Hapur Bar Association staged a protest over an allegedly false case against a lawyer and her father. Tensions escalated as police resorted to lathi-charge against lawyers.

The Supreme Court Bar Association hit out at the police action and said advocates protesting peacefully against the alleged high-handedness of the police was a violation of their rights.
