Groom not the man she met on Instagram, bride calls off wedding in UP

Groom not the man she met on Instagram, bride calls off wedding in UP LUCKNOW: What began as a friendship on Instagram ended in chaos at a wedding venue in Shahabad after the bride alleged the man who arrived as groom was not the person she had been speaking to online. Police registered FIR against 10 people on charges of cheating and criminal conspiracy in connection with the incident. Five persons, including the groom, have been arrested. According to police, the woman, a resident of Shahabad, had befriended a man identifying himself as Rahul Mishra through Instagram. Over time, the two grew close and decided to get married. The woman told police that Rahul had even visited Shahabad earlier and met her in person. After discussions with her elder sister, the marriage was fixed for May 12. On Tuesday, a wedding procession arrived in Shahabad from Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district.

Granite quarrying ‘kicking up dust’

Granite quarrying ‘kicking up dust’ V. Nataraj, a native of Kuppam mandal of Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district, is up early due to the constant buzz of an alarm. He peeps outside the window to confirm if it is still dark. The 27-year-old, who works as an electrician at a firm in Bengaluru, hurriedly gets ready and reaches the Chittoor-Bengaluru National Highway to board the first bus at 5 a.m. to Bengaluru, which is at least 120 kms from his village. There has been a constant whirring and low-to-high metallic thudding sound since Nataraj woke up until the moment he boarded the bus. The streets of the rural areas in Bangarupalem, Palamaner and Kuppam mandals, located at the tri-State junction of Chittoor district, paint a similar picture, with the granite mining at the centre of the ordeal that residents of the villages have been facing. Year-round mining activities The non-stop, year-round mining activity ravages mineral wealth that was undisturbed for centuries. In the early hours, sparks flash and disappear as mechanical drills begin cutting into rock.

2 men rape orphaned girls aged 11 and 12 for over a year in Bengaluru, post videos online

2 men rape orphaned girls aged 11 and 12 for over a year in Bengaluru, post videos online BENGALURU: Two persons were arrested on charges of sexually abusing two girls, videographing the act and uploading the clips on social media to make quick money. The arrests were done by sleuths from Cyber Command Centre (CCC) following an alert from National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). This is first time in the recent past that police have arrested those recording child sex videos. The arrested are 29-year-old Kiran Kumar Nayak, cattle-grazer from Kaidallipalya near Kaggalipura, and 20-year-old Aditya MK, swimming pool maintenance staffer at Channapatna. Police recovered three mobile phones in which the acts were recorded. The girls are aged 11 and 12 years and are from a farmer’s family in Ramanagara, Bengaluru South district. Their mother died many years ago, while their father, who was an alcoholic, passed away two years back. Since then, the girls lived with their uncle, who is close to one of the accused, police said.

Sabarimala reference hearing concludes; Supreme Court reserves judgment

Sabarimala reference hearing concludes; Supreme Court reserves judgment The Supreme Court on Thursday (May 14, 2026) said courts cannot give up their duty to judicially review religious practices to examine if they violate fundamental liberties, though the primary obligation to usher in reform and ensure social welfare lay with the legislature. Appearing before a nine-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant in the Sabarimala review hearing, amicus curiae senior advocate K. Parameshwar, said the judiciary could neither remain a passive observer nor an overzealous reformer. “Constitutional courts cannot give up their responsibility. It is the duty of a constitutional court,” Chief Justice Kant observed. Parameshwar contended that the validity of religious rights should not be judged based on factors such as rationality. He said the term ‘religious denomination’ must be given a broader meaning. The court reserved the case for judgment after 16 days of marathon hearing. In September 2018, a Constitution Bench had lifted the ban that prohibited women between the ages of 10 and 50 from entering the Ayyappa shrine at Sabarimala and held that the centuries-old Hindu religious practice was illegal and unconstitutional.

Uttar Pradesh police invoke NSA against two accused held during workers’ protest in Noida

Uttar Pradesh police invoke NSA against two accused held during workers’ protest in Noida The Uttar Pradesh police on Wednesday (May 13, 2026) invoked the National Security Act, 1980 against two activists held in connection with the Noida workers’ protest. Satyam Verma and Aakriti Choudhary are among the seven activists arrested by the UP police in various cases filed by the police. The Commissioner of Police, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Laxmi Singh, told on Wednesday (May 13, 2026) that the police has “strong electronic and videographic evidence” against these two as well as 65 others who have been arrested in connection with these cases so far. “In connection with the case, NSA action has been taken against Satyam Verma and Aakriti. Both are active members of the Mazdoor Bigul Dasta. Their roles were found to be significant in the violence, arson and spread of disorder during the workers’ protest. They attempted to disrupt public order by provoking people in various areas,” the official statement from the Commissioner of Police, Gautam Buddh Nagar, said. The NSA enables the detention of an individual for up to a year without trial. The workers’ protest ongoing in various parts of the country since the beginning of this year spread to Noida in early April when thousands of workers took to streets to put forth their demands of wage hike and improved working conditions.
