UP: Newlywed found dead in river 16 days after wedding; dowry charge

UP: Newlywed found dead in river 16 days after wedding; dowry charge BAREILLY: A 21-year-old woman, who had been married for just 16 days, was found dead in a river on Sunday, with her family alleging that she was killed by her in-laws over dowry demands, police said. The body of Sridevi, a resident of Raghuvipura village under the Bisharatganj police station limits, was recovered from the river, police added. SHO Pradeep Kumar Chaturvedi said police have registered a case based on a complaint lodged by the woman's family and are investigating the matter from all angles. According to her family, Sridevi married a man from neighbouring Budaun district on June 26. They alleged that she was harassed over dowry demands soon after the wedding, prompting her to return to her parental home and refuse to go back to her husband's house. Her family said Sridevi left home on July 9 without informing anyone and never returned. After searching for her unsuccessfully, they were told by villagers that she had been seen heading towards the river. According to news agency PTI, police, assisted by local residents and divers, launched a search operation and recovered her body from the river on Sunday.

'Don't just notice, report it': FSSAI asks consumers to report unsafe food via their app

'Don't just notice, report it': FSSAI asks consumers to report unsafe food via their app The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Sunday urged consumers to report unsafe food practices by sellers through its mobile app. The notice is part of a broader crackdown by the food safety regulator on companies over alleged violations of food safety, labelling, and advertising norms. Turn your awareness into action with the Food Safety Connect App," the food regulator said in a post on X. The directive comes on the heels of the food safety watchdog issuing nine notices to Swiggy Instamart following multiple consumer complaints alleging violations of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The FSSAI has intensified its enforcement drive to crack down on the manufacture, sale and promotion of unsafe or misleading food products by stepping up inspections, issuing notices and initiating regulatory action. In one of the latest cases, the food safety regulator shut down a spice manufacturing unit in Lucknow after an inspection uncovered alleged adulteration. Officials seized the suspected adulterated products and collected samples for laboratory analysis. Earlier this week, FSSAI also issued notices to several alcoholic beverage manufacturers over the alleged use of unauthorised flavouring agents, misleading age-related claims and failure to comply with labelling and disclosure requirements under the Food Safety and Standards (Alcoholic Beverages) Regulations, 2018.

Karnataka State Police to introduce e-zero FIR for reporting cybercrimes soon

Karnataka State Police to introduce e-zero FIR for reporting cybercrimes soon Karnataka State Police will soon introduce a feature where you can file e-zero FIRs in cases of cybercrimes, which will help banks freeze accounts that are laundering money in real time. However, a complainant will have to present themselves before the jurisdictional police within three days to register an FIR following all due procedures, failing which the complaint will be closed. Bengaluru City Police introduced the Cybercrime Incidence Report (CIR), a model that has now been adapted across the country with 1930 helpline to report cybercrimes. However, freezing accounts based on these tipline reports has been a problem at both ends of the spectrum. Issues flagged While many banks demand FIRs, which a CIR is not, the cybercrime police across the country have been getting accounts held beyond their jurisdictions frozen as well, leading to many genuine business accounts also being frozen, increasing the number of litigations. For instance, a senior cybercrime police official said that in cases of investment fraud, victims are initially paid large profits to convince them to invest more, but these payments come from the accounts of other victims. The police from various jurisdictions end up freezing these victim accounts as well. Justice Suraj Govindaraj of the High Court of Karnataka, while recently passing two judgments in such cases, flagged these issues and made Pronab Mohanty, Director-General of Police (Cyber Command), as the nodal officer to resolve these issues.

Kerala Devaswom Minister criticises “excessive intervention” by Kerala High Court in temples

Kerala Devaswom Minister criticises “excessive intervention” by Kerala High Court in temples Kerala Devaswom Minister K. Muraleedharan slammed the Kerala High Court for “excessive interference” in the affairs of the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple and other temples in the State. Speaking at a public event on Sunday (July 12, 2026), he said that the time has come to rethink whether the court should interfere in all such matters, thus limiting the role of the Devaswom Boards and devotees. Many of the interventions are taking place in a way that undermines the autonomy of the temples and the rights of the believers, he said. ‘Discussion needed’ “There is no freedom for the Devaswom Board or the government to take independent decisions in Sabarimala. The High Court is directly giving instructions even on ritual matters like which flower to use in temples. It is time for a serious discussion in society regarding the extent of the court’s intervention in the ritual and administrative matters of temples,” he said. Muraleedharan said that he had already raised the issue in the Kerala Legislative Assembly, where MLAs and Ministers can openly express their opinions. When similar opinions are expressed outside the Assembly, the Minister pointed out that there is a possibility of contempt of court instead of democratic discussions.
