Chicken Curry Smells To Pet Poop DNA Tests: Reddit Discussion Reveals Life In Bengaluru Apartments
In several housing societies, tensions have erupted on WhatsApp groups over issues ranging from complaints about food aromas to demands for forensic testing of pet waste. Bengaluru residents have started taking to Reddit to share some of the most unusual WhatsApp group disputes they've had with their Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs). In several housing societies, tensions have erupted on WhatsApp groups over issues ranging from complaints about food aromas to demands for forensic testing of pet waste. One Reddit user from a Whitefield community described how a pet-related complaint escalated beyond expectations. 'Someone actually suggested a forensic test to trace a dog's poop because the pet owner refused to admit guilt. It became a full‑blown investigation!" the user wrote. Several posts referenced complaints about cooking smells, including one instance where a resident objected to the aroma of chicken curry. According to the post, the complainant said the smell was 'offensive" to vegetarians, leading to heated arguments in the group. Another user reported that pet-related issues are often met with quick action on community messaging groups. 'Photos of the 'evidence' would be circulated on WhatsApp, along with demands to identify the pet and its owner," the post said. In one instance, a pet owner denied the allegation and called for DNA testing, insisting it was not animal waste and that the area had CCTV coverage. In another case, a parent claimed their child had been attacked by a stray dog. Some residents reportedly demanded video evidence before taking any steps. 'I felt like becoming an activist just to see how far this madness can go," one user commented. A newly elected RWA president shared his experience dealing with such issues. He said the group had to shut down their WhatsApp chat due to toxic conversations. 'Our WhatsApp group became so toxic that we had to shut it down. Now it's strictly for announcements," he wrote. He added that residents frequently misused the group, with some even holding personal conversations there. 'People will call during work hours asking for plumbers instead of logging a ticket. People are petty and inconsiderate, the majority of the time. Some people used to use the RWA WhatsApp chat group as their personal chats, and a couple used to have their flat conversations on that until some other owner called it out." The Reddit thread has drawn attention to the everyday challenges of apartment living in Bengaluru, where disputes can escalate quickly and digital platforms often become the first venue for confrontation.

Delhi HC to hear Solicitor General's arguments against bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam
New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): The Delhi High Court is set to hear arguments from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta opposing the bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others accused in the 2020 North East Delhi Riots case on Tuesday. The case involved allegations of a larger conspiracy, with 18 accused individuals chargesheeted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), and two accused are absconding. The division bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur, at the request of the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) for the Delhi police, adjourned the matter for hearing on July 9. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Amit Prasad appeared in person, and SG Mehta appeared through video conferencing. The High Court is hearing the bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others. They challenged the trial court orders dismissing their bail, citing the embargo under UAPA. Devangana Kalita, Natasha Narwal, and Asif Iqbal Tanha were granted regular bail by the Delhi High Court on June 15, 2021, after the court allowed their appeals against the trial court order. The trial court also granted bail to the accused, Ishrat Jahan. The accused are alleged to have hatched a conspiracy leading to the riots, which resulted in 53 deaths and hundreds of injuries in the North East Delhi Riots in February 2020. Delhi Police claim that Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam were key conspirators, with evidence including WhatsApp chats and speeches. More than 700 FIRs were registered against several accused persons in different police stations of North East Delhi and other areas. The Delhi High Court has previously questioned the Delhi Police's approach, asking whether organizing protests is enough to invoke UAPA charges and seeking concise evidence to support their claims. This case is at the stage of arguements on charges. (ANI)
