Disapproving Marriage Not Abetment of Suicide: Supreme Court
In a significant legal ruling, the Supreme Court of India stated that simply disapproving of a marriage does not amount to abetment of suicide. The case arose from the tragic death of a woman whose family did not approve of her marriage, and who later took her own life. The court clarified that there must be direct evidence of instigation or encouragement to suicide for a charge of abetment to be applicable.
The ruling is seen as a crucial step in differentiating between personal disagreements and criminal responsibility, emphasizing that family dynamics and societal pressures are not always sufficient grounds for criminal liability in such sensitive matters.
'Saif Attacker' Tag Costs Colaba Resident His Job, Marriage
A Colaba resident has found his life dramatically altered after being falsely tagged as the 'Saif Attacker' in media reports. The man was wrongly identified as the assailant involved in an attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan. The misidentification led to widespread public shaming, causing him to lose his job and his marriage.
Although he was never connected to the crime, the media frenzy and social media rumors significantly damaged his personal and professional life. Legal experts are now raising concerns about the dangers of false accusations and the responsibility of the media to verify information before publication.
Bihar: Class 10 Student Dies as Monkeys Push Her Off Roof
In a tragic incident in Bihar, a Class 10 student lost her life after monkeys allegedly pushed her off the roof of her home.

Despite being rushed to the hospital, she succumbed to her injuries.
The incident has sparked concerns about the growing monkey menace in the region, with residents demanding better measures to control the increasing number of wild animals in urban areas. Local authorities are investigating the incident and discussing potential solutions to ensure the safety of the public.
Kejriwal Says BJP Waived Off Debts Worth ₹10 Lakh Crore of '400-500 People'
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has made headlines with his controversial statement that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) waived off debts worth ₹10 lakh crore for 400-500 influential individuals and corporations. The claim has sparked a political debate, with Kejriwal accusing the BJP of favoring the rich and powerful at the expense of ordinary citizens.
The BJP, however, has denied the allegations, asserting that the government’s fiscal policies are aimed at benefiting the nation as a whole, not just a select few. The disagreement highlights ongoing tensions between the ruling party and opposition leaders, with accusations of corruption and misuse of public funds intensifying ahead of upcoming elections.
