Delhi High Court Allows Vinesh Phogat To Participate In Asian Games 2026 Selection Trials Delhi High Court Allows Vinesh Phogat To Participate In Asian Games 2026 Selection Trials Delhi High Court permits wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in Asian Games 2026 selection trials, holding that motherhood cannot be a ground for exclusion from competitive sports. The Delhi High Court has allowed wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in the Asian Games 2026 selection trials scheduled from May 30, holding that motherhood and maternity-related circumstances cannot be used to exclude female athletes from competition. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia delivered the verdict on May 22 while hearing Phogat’s appeal against a single-judge order refusing interim relief. “It cannot be denied that the journey of a female athlete through pregnancy and the post-partum period is one that is marked by extraordinary physical challenges, the magnitude of which is often insufficiently acknowledged within institutional sporting frameworks. We cannot remain oblivious to the physiological realities and disadvantages related to child birth that female athletes undergo during maternity”, the Court observed. The Bench also strongly criticised the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) for issuing what it termed a “deplorable” show-cause notice to Phogat and held that the Federation’s conduct appeared vindictive and mala fide. The WFI had referred to Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics for being overweight as a “national shame” and “national embarrassment.” Taking exception to these remarks, the Court said, “Such observations made in the SCN despite the award issued by CAS [Court of Arbitration for Sport], which clearly held that there was no wrongdoing on part of the appellant, appear to be pre-mediated and are ex-facie…

Newlywed found hanging in Lucknow; family alleges torture over dowry, car demand

Newlywed found hanging in Lucknow; family alleges torture over dowry, car demand LUCKNOW: Days after the alleged "dowry" death of Noida-based model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma at her in-laws’ home in Bhopal sparked outrage, another similar case has surfaced from Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow, where a 28-year-old newlywed woman was found hanging under mysterious circumstances at her in-laws’ residence in the Thakurganj area. The woman’s family has alleged that she was subjected to continuous dowry harassment and repeated pressure to bring a four-wheeler before her death, barely six months after marriage. The deceased, identified as Shweta Singh, was living with her husband Shivam Singh and his family in Kashi Vihar Colony under the limits of Thakurganj Police. Shivam is reportedly employed at a private pathology laboratory. Police officials said the body has been sent for post-mortem examination and an investigation is underway to determine whether the death was a case of suicide or linked to dowry-related violence. According to family members, Shweta had married Shivam on November 22, 2025. Her parental home is also located in the Vishwanagar-Malhai Tola locality of Thakurganj. Relatives alleged that disputes had started soon after the wedding and accused the in-laws of continuously pressuring Shweta to bring a four-wheeler and other costly items as dowry.
