Fearing Covid, Gurugram woman lock herself, 10-year-old son in house for 3 years
As per the reports, she got an induction heater to cook food, or else she would have to go out to replace the cylinder.

In an unusual case of Covid-paranoia, a 36-year-old woman, Munmun Majhi, locked herself and her son in their flat in Maruti Kunj, Gurugram, for three years, fearing he would die if he stepped out.
This strange instance came to light when Munmun’s husband, Suraj Majhi, informed the police. He said that he was worried about his son, who had not seen sunshine or interacted with any friends in the past three years. Suraj, an engineer, also informed that once the Covid restrictions eased, he stepped out of the house for work but was never allowed back in by his wife.
Majhi tried convincing his wife, but after failing, he spent a few days with friends and family, then took a house on rent in the same locality. He was only allowed to talk to his son via video calls. Majhi had been clearing all the bills, paying the rent, and buying groceries for his wife and child. He used to leave the packets outside the main door.

Munmun let her son use the smartphone for his online classes but had cut off contact with mostly all family members. As per the reports, she got an induction heater to cook food, or else she would have to go out to replace the cylinder. Apart from his mother, the child had not seen anyone and used to draw and write on walls. Majhi involved his parents and in-laws, but Munmun did not change her mind, so he decided to inform the police.
A team of police, health officials and members of the child welfare department, and an NGO went to their house on Monday, but Munmun was not ready to understand; she threatened to kill her son and die by suicide. On Tuesday morning, the cops returned and attempted to speak with Munmun again, where they had to break open the door and rescue the mother and child.
The team saw that the apartment was filled with garbage, bundles of clothes, hair, empty grocery packets and a layer of dirt had settled everywhere.
Both the mother and the son were admitted to the Civil Hospital for a health checkup and have been referred to PGI Rohtak. Majhi was overjoyed to embrace his son again and thanked the police for getting his family back.

Zomato takes down Kachra ad after flak for being casteist, BoycottZomato trends
A comparison between Kachra (trash) and the outcast character in the film Lagaan, which was released in 2001, was made by Zomato.

Zomato, the food delivery brand, recently got into trouble after their new Kachra ad campaign which has now sparked controversy across the internet.
The campaign’s tagline, Don’t waste food, Don’t’ be Kachra, was displayed alongside a series of advertisements presenting left-over food in an effort to promote cleanliness and decrease food waste.
The campaign, which was released on June 5 on the occasion of World Environment Day, aimed to increase awareness of the burden that plastic waste has on the environment and to highlight how many kilograms of waste is used to produce even the most basic items. For example, a paperweight requires 3-4 kg of recycled waste, while hand towels require 9-12 kg.
The Zomato advertisement showed how the company chooses to deliver food without using any plastic, therefore protecting the environment.
A comparison between Kachra (trash) and the outcast character in the film Lagaan, which was released in 2001, was made by Zomato. The advertisement also featured the actor, Aditya Lakhiya, who played the character of Kachra in the film Lagaan. Given the larger backdrop of commercial entertainment in India, some users said, Kachra’s character in Lagaan had a contextual meaning.
The actor was presented in a variety of contexts, including as a recycled hand towel, a similar flower pot and paper.

However, the campaign failed to connect with the audience and received criticism for its insensitive approach and was referred to as a casteist idea on various social media platforms.
Users have now flooded the internet with their criticism, expressing their dissatisfaction towards the ad. Twitter is filled with #BoycottZomato.
One user wrote, Zomato’s Kachra advertisement was not an accident, rather, it was a planned and intentional act that may have been approved by the company’s senior management. The user went on to criticise Zomato, labeling it as having casteist ideas. While another said, Zomato’s highly casteist campaign can be attributed to a lack of diversity.
However, the company informed in a Tweet about the advertisement being pulled down after the flak by the users and justifying its campaign wrote, on the occasion of World Environment Day, its intent was to aware the audience about the alternative usage of plastic waste and its recycling in a humorous way but unfortunately it hurt the sentiments of some individuals and community.
To this decision of Zomato taking the campaign back, it again received crticism from the users, while some called it arrogance for not making any apology, while some were satisfied with the timley action by the company.
A user wrote, the usual day casteism was unfortunate and was happy with Zomato’s timely action by removing the advertisement.

As per the police, Vaidya was killed 3-4 days back.
Sahni was trying to flee but was captured by the police on Wednesday evening.
The Nayanagar police station on Wednesday, recieved a call from the buildingd residents complaining of a foul smell originating from the couple’s flat.
The police upon its arrival on the spot, when entered into the apartment discovered decomposed body parts of Vaidya.
As per the police, around 12-13 pieces of Vaidya’s body was recovered from the flat.
Mumbai DCP Jayant Bajbale said, as per the preliminary investigation, the victim was hacked to death and further investigation is ongoing.
Reports said, the motive behind the murder is still under investigation but the couple had an argument which led to a murder.

He added in his statement that he accused Brij Bhushan was for sexual harassment out of anger because her daughter lost the Asian Championship trials final the previous year.
I received threatening calls, but I won’t say who made them. To pay for my daughter’s expenses, I sold my residence. I had re-recorded my statement on my own initiative, the girl’s father added.
The girl’s father also confessed infront of the magistrate that we don’t hold any bitterness towards Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. On June 5, we made certain changes to our earlier statements and recorded new statements. I don’t want to get engaged in this battle.

The sports minister invited them to a meeting to discuss their demands.
