Man Dies By Suicide, Case Against Wife, Her Sister: Maharashtra Police

An offence has been registered against a 27-year-old woman and her sister for allegedly abetting the suicide of her husband in Maharashtra's Thane district two months ago, police said on Saturday.

Based on a complaint, the police on Friday registered an offence under section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code against the two sisters, an official said.

Sachinkumar Mishra, a resident of Davdi village in Dombivili, committed suicide by consuming rat poison in October, he said.

As per the complaint, Mishra's wife Pooja frequently spoke to three men, raising doubts that she was having an extramarital affair, the official said.

The victim's sister-in-law Babita Upadayaya also threatened him saying that he would be beaten up and abducted if he interfered with his wife's friend, he said.

The man was allegedly driven to suicide because of his wife's behaviour and sister-in-law's threats, the official said, adding that no arrests have been made in this regard so far.

"Traitors Of People Should...": Meghalaya MLA Receives Death Threat

Outlawed armed group Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) has issued a death threat to Gavin Mylliemngap, a legislator of the ruling National People's Party in Meghalaya after the government decided to shut down the state-run cement manufacturing company in East Khasi Hills district's Sohra.

The outfit is currently engaged in tri-partite talks with the central and state governments to discuss laying down arms and joining the mainstream.

The government had recently requested all employees of the firm to consider taking the golden handshake or voluntary retirement scheme, as investments over the past 15 years had not yielded results.

HNLC general secretary Sainkupar Nongtraw said on Friday, "If the government proceeds with the shutdown of MCCL, it will be appropriate for Gavin to assume responsibility. Just as you and your government dare to bury MCCL alive, we will hold you accountable through our own actions. Traitors of the people should be punished with death."

He further added, "The threat by the Meghalaya government to permanently shut down MCCL is simply a political maneuver. This ill motive of the government aims to leave the people of Sohra unemployed and subject them to the agenda of vested interests."

The HNLC also accused the state government of promoting the development of cement factories owned by non-tribals from other states.

Babri Masjid Slogan Scribbled On Campus, JNU Orders Repainting Of Walls

A day after a slogan demanding Babri Masjid reconstruction surfaced on a wall of Jawaharlal Nehru University's School of Languages, the university on Friday ordered the repainting of all walls on the campus to remove any slogan or graffiti.

In a meeting with a committee tasked with probing repeated incidents of controversial sloganeering and defacement of walls, the administration asked officials to ramp up security arrangements in all schools of the university.

"We have asked the committee members to visit all schools and submit a report in the next one week on requirements for CCTV cameras in each school after discussions with the respective deans," a senior official told PTI.

The JNU administration has ordered to repaint all walls on the campus to remove any kind of slogan or graffiti, the official said, adding CCTV cameras will be installed in identified areas.

According to university students, the administration on Thursday evening white washed the walls on which the slogan was scribbled. They, however, claimed that in the process sketches of freedom fighters and that of two prime ministers were also wiped off.

The slogan demanding that Babri Masjid be rebuilt appeared on a wall on the first floor of the School of Language building with the "NSUI" written below. Photos of the graffiti soon surfaced on social media, sparking a controversy.

The student outfit distanced themselves from the slogan and demanded an investigation by the administration.

"NSUI-JNU firmly condemns this malicious, disruptive act of defacement and maligning our organisation's name. We are absolutely clear that defacing an organization's wall sketches is not a way to give any socio-political message. We also demand the university administration conduct an impartial investigation into the matter," the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) said in a statement.

The university administration initially denied photos of the graffiti circulating on social media were from the university, but later said it was not aware if it was painted on the campus.
