Rajasthan: 4 members of family die by suicide in Barmer
The incident occurred in Undu village of the district where Shivlal , his wife Kavita , and their two sons, aged 8 and 6, were found dead on Tuesday evening in a tank outside their home in Brahmano Ki Dhani in Sheo Police Station limits.
According to the preliminary investigation, Shivlal allegedly jumped into the tank along with his family after locking the house.
The incident came to light after his younger brother, unable to reach the couple on the phone, sent a neighbour to check, following which the police were alerted.
Sheo DSP Manaram Garg said, "The bodies were found in the tank on Tuesday evening. The in-laws were informed, and the retrieval was done on Wednesday morning in their presence as they could not arrive at night."
The bodies were sent to the mortuary at the Bhiyad CHC for post-mortem.
Gopilal, Kavita's uncle, told reporters, "Shivlal wanted to build a separate house with funds sanctioned under PM Awas Yojana. But his brother and mother did not allow it. This constant harassment forced him to write a suicide note on June 29."
According to the family, although Shivlal wrote the note two days earlier, he did not act on it immediately. But on Tuesday, after his mother left to visit his brother in Barmer and his father was away for religious work, Shivlal and Kavita turned off their phones and allegedly took the drastic step.
Police recorded statements of relatives from both sides, and officials said they are investigating allegations of domestic harassment under IPC sections related to abetment of suicide.
Sheo Police said further inquiries would consider the contents of the alleged suicide note and family disputes as part of the probe.

Faridabad police custody abuse: Haryana told to pay ₹50k to victim after 4 years
Four years after a differently-abled man was stripped, photographed, and filmed in a semi-naked state while in police custody, the Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has ruled that the state government must pay ₹50,000 as compensation for the severe violation of his human rights. The commission highlighted that the Haryana home department failed to respond to the show cause notice issued against the police officials involved. (HT File) The man, a Chartered Accountant (CA), was subjected to public humiliation and mistreatment by police officials in Faridabad. The incident occurred on May 24, 2021, after the man was arrested in connection with a matrimonial dispute filed by his wife. She had lodged a criminal case against him under Sections 406 and 498-A of the IPC, alleging harassment and dowry-related offenses. Later, the man filed a divorce petition, which was later withdrawn during conciliation proceedings. However, his wife subsequently registered another FIR in June 2021, accusing him of stalking and criminal intimidation. In its order on July 16, the full bench of the HHRC, comprising chairperson justice Lalit Batra (retd) and members Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, said that two police officials, an assistant sub-inspector and a constable rank official, had compelled the man to undress in a public area of the police premises, despite his requests to be allowed privacy. 'The man described the experience as 'akin to a living death,' subjected to severe humiliation in full public view,' reads the order. According to HHRC, the action of the police officials involved — ASI Jagwati and constable Rakesh Kumar — amounted to a blatant violation of the man's right to dignity and privacy, both protected under human rights laws. The commission found that the police had no legitimate reason to force the man to undress and strip him of his clothing in front of others. Such an act, without legal or medical justification, directly contravenes established custodial guidelines. The commission also expressed concern over the unauthorised videography and photography of the man in a semi-nude condition by his brother-in-law who later circulated them on social media, further exacerbating the violation of his dignity and privacy. 'This act, carried out in the presence of others and without lawful necessity or judicial sanction, is a direct affront to the complainant's right to dignity and privacy,' the HHRC's order states. The commission's findings, backed by an internal investigation, indicated that the police officials failed to discharge their duties properly. It also noted that the man, being an educated and professional individual, would not have voluntarily undressed in such a public setting. The HHRC pointed out that the incident occurred under clear duress, highlighting the negligence and misconduct of the police officials. In its final ruling, the commission ordered the Haryana home department to compensate the victim with ₹50,000, acknowledging the violation of his rights and the lasting emotional trauma caused by the incident. However, the commission clarified that this compensation is not meant to represent the full extent of the harm suffered by the man but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the severe breach of his dignity. The commission also highlighted that the Haryana home department failed to respond to the show cause notice issued against the police officials involved, further questioning the state's commitment to addressing custodial misconduct.

Three accused get seven-year RI after pleading guilty
BENGALURU: Marking the first conviction in the 2020 KG Halli-DJ Halli riots case, a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Wednesday sentenced three accused, who had pleaded guilty during the framing of charges, to seven years rigorous imprisonment with penalty. Accused no. 14 Syed Ikramuddin alias Syed Naveed (44), A-16 Syed Asif (46) and A-18 Mohammed Atif (26) were charged under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Karnataka Prevention of Destruction and Loss of Property Act (KPDLP) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). On August 11, 2020, a mob attacked the KG Halli and DJ Halli police stations as well as the residence of Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivas Murthy. The violence was triggered by a provocative social media post allegedly made by the MLA's nephew, Naveen. The riots involved incidents of stone throwing, petrol bomb attacks and assaults on police personnel. Four people died when the police opened fire to bring the situation under control. Of the 199 accused in the case, 187 have been arrested and chargesheets filed against 138. The NIA took over the investigation on September 21, 2020, and filed its chargesheet on February 2, 2021. The NIA also established that the accused had links to the banned Popular Front of India (PFI). 'The police are charged with the duty of maintaining law and order as well as public order. When such custodians of law and order are attacked, public confidence in the efficiency of the police is likely to be shaken, thereby disturbing public order. We, the people, feel secure when we have a robust police force. The act of the accused in torching the KG Halli police station has shaken the confidence of the public and their sense of security,' said special public prosecutor for NIA, Bengaluru, P Prasanna Kumar. He added, 'This judgment has not only restored public confidence in the police force, but has also vindicated the action of the Central government in declaring the Popular Front of India (PFI) as an unlawful association.'
