Did Pragati Yadav really get her husband killed just 14 days after their marriage? The shocking truth has finally come to light, leaving everyone stunned. Uttar Pradesh, a state already reeling from chilling crimes, is now gripped by yet another scandal that has people talking nonstop. Names like Muskan Rastogi from Meerut, along with Saurabh Rajput and Sahil Shukla, had already made headlines for their horrifying deeds. And now, the spotlight has shifted to Auraiya, where Dilip Yadav, Pragati Yadav, and Anurag Yadav are at the center of a dark and twisted tale. What’s even more eerie is that these gruesome events in both Meerut and Auraiya unfolded in the same month—March. In Meerut, Muskan teamed up with her boyfriend Sahil to brutally murder her husband Saurabh. They didn’t stop there—they chopped up his body and stuffed it into a drum, even pouring cement over it to hide their crime.

It seems like IAS officers in Uttar Pradesh are competing for the “Most Creative Ways to Get in Trouble” award lately. First, we had Pooja Singhal, the corruption queen, then Puja Khedkar, who tried to sneak through the civil services exam with some sneaky caste and quota tricks. And now, stepping into the ring is Abhishek Prakash, the CEO of Invest UP, who’s allegedly been treating his government job like a personal piggy bank. Houses, bungalows, 700 bighas of land—apparently, being an IAS officer comes with some serious real estate perks these days!

Justice Yashwant Varma of the Delhi High Court has found himself under a glaring spotlight after a startling discovery sent ripples across the judiciary. During the Holi break last week, a large pile of unaccounted cash was reportedly found tucked inside his official bungalow in the capital city. What should have been a quiet festive recess for the judiciary has instead turned into a loud reminder of how conveniently justice can be stuffed under carpets—along with piles of unexplained currency.

It’s almost impossible to wrap your head around what’s happening in our society today. India, a country once celebrated for its tight-knit families, feels like it’s drifting into unknown territory. Picture this: generations living under one roof, grandparents sharing stories with wide-eyed kids, and homes buzzing with the warmth of togetherness. That was the Bharat of old—a place where women were held in high esteem, seen as the heart of the family, almost like living goddesses. There’s a beautiful old saying in Sanskrit that captures this perfectly: "यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः", which translates to "Where women are honored, there the deities reside." In plain words, it means that when women are treated with respect and care, it’s as if the divine itself settles down to bless that home, that village, that land. It’s a belief that painted a picture of harmony, where goodness thrived because people valued each other.

A big problem came up in Uttar Pradesh when the police caught a man doing something very wrong. The man’s name is Ravindra Kumar, and he worked at an ordnance factory in Firozabad. The cops found out he was helping Pakistan’s spy group, called the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI. What’s surprising is how he got tricked into this mess. “The handler's contact, the cops said, had been saved in Ravindra Kumar's phone under the name 'Chandan Store Keeper 2',” the police told everyone. It’s a weird name to save someone’s number under, right? But that’s how this secret game started.

A terrible incident has come to light in Guna district, Madhya Pradesh, where a mother said her only son took his own life, but the truth turned out to be much darker. The police found out that 15-year-old Abhyuday Jain didn’t die by suicide—“he died due to strangulation”—showing someone killed him on purpose. The postmortem report left no doubt about this being a murder.

Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh – Tension gripped the streets of Burhanpur late Tuesday night after a 17-year-old boy posted an Instagram message that many Muslims in the city found offensive to their religion. The incident came on the same day that violence broke out in Nagpur, Maharashtra, where a crowd reacted angrily to rumors of a Quran being burned during a protest calling for the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb in Sambhajinagar. In Burhanpur, hundreds of people took to the roads, upset over the social media post, but police stepped in quickly to stop the situation from turning violent.

A shocking case has shaken the city of Meerut, leaving everyone stunned. In this disturbing incident, a wife teamed up with her lover to murder her husband. After the brutal killing, they hid the husband’s body inside a large drum and sealed the iron lid with cement to cover up their crime. The police have now arrested the accused wife and her lover, putting an end to their sinister plan.

The Trade Marks Registry in India dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, when it pulled back its earlier approval for the trademark ‘CHUTIYARAM’ under Class 30 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. This wasn’t just a small tweak—it was a complete reversal, and it happened fast. Just two weeks ago, the Registry had given the green light to this unusual name, meant for a company selling namkeen and biscuits. But now, they’re saying it was all a big mistake, and people are talking about what went wrong.
