Hateful online posts: Dispute between sweet shop owner, customer resolved, says Nuh police
Ten people were booked after Girraj Prasad, owner of Lala Chandiram Sweets in Anaj Mandi, complained that false propaganda was being run online against his shop on Facebook.
Gurugram, Jul 24 (PTI) Nuh Police said that the matter stemming from the hateful online posts against a sweet shop was resolved on Thursday after its owner and a customer resolved the issue amicably.
Prasad, in his complaint, alleged that on July 21, some people made false accusations on Facebook against his outlet and his Muslim employees.
'Ten to 12 Muslim employees work at my shop. For the last 30 years, milk has been supplied by suppliers from the Muslim community…It is a well-planned conspiracy and an attempt to spoil the brotherhood and incite communal riots,' Prasad mentioned in the complaint.
After the FIR, the social activists and local political leaders went to meet DC Vishram Kumar Meena, where Nuh SP Rajesh Kumar was also present.
'The matter was not related to a particular community but only between a shop owner and a customer, and the matter is resolved now', said Meena.

Kerala prison officer suspended over remarks on notorious convict
Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 27 (PTI) The Kerala Home Department on Sunday suspended a senior prison officer citing gross indiscipline over some of his revelations in connection with a notorious convict, who escaped from the Kannur central prison two days ago and was caught later. Abdul Sathar I, who was serving as a Deputy Prison Officer at the special sub-jail in Kottarakara, was suspended from the service with immediate effect by the Deputy Inspector General of Prisons, according to a government order. The copy of the order was issued to the media by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO). In the order, it was mentioned that the officer, while talking to a Malayalam television channel recently, said that Govindachamy, alias Govindaswamy (41), who escaped from Kannur Central Jail on Friday, had declared much before that he would jump the prison. The officer claimed that the notorious convict, serving a life term in the sensational 2011 Soumya murder case, had threatened to rape his family members if he escaped from the jail. During the TV interview, the jail official further said that it was better that Govindachamy be killed and if there was no executioner, he himself was ready to become the hangman. The order pointed out that at a time when negative reports galore against the department, the statements of the particular officer have put it in more trouble and amounted to demoralise other officials. The statements were in violation of various provisions of the government officials' service rules and a circular in connection with prison rules. Stating that the official was already facing probe over some other issues, the order also made it clear that his actions were gross breach of discipline. Govindachamy escaped from Kannur Central Jail on July 25 between 4.15 am and 6.30 am and was recaptured within city limits at around 9.30 am. He was shifted to Viyyur Central Jail in Thrissur on July 26 following the incident. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday ordered a comprehensive investigation into the jailbreak from Kannur Central Prison by Govindachamy. A 23-year-old woman from Manjakkad near Shornur, was raped and murdered by Govindachamy while travelling on a passenger train from Ernakulam to Shornur on February 1, 2011. He was later convicted in the case. PTI LGK KH view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 21:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Fertility scam busted: 8 held in baby-selling scam in Hyderabad; clinic run by mother-son duo
Representative image NEW DELHI: An illegal surrogacy and baby-selling racket operating out of a fertility clinic in Hyderabad was busted Sunday, leading to the arrest of eight individuals, including the clinic's owner and fertility specialist, Dr A Namratha. A detailed investigation revealed that Namratha, 64, was running a large-scale scam through clinics located in Vijayawada, Secunderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Kondapur. She allegedly collected between Rs 20–30 lakh from each client under false pretenses, police said. Police further disclosed that Namratha's son, an advocate by profession, managed the clinic's financial operations from the same premises. He also reportedly intimidated clients who raised objections. Authorities, as cited by PTI, added that over 10 previous cases had been registered against the accused at various police stations across Andhra Pradesh. Despite the medical and health department cancelling the clinic's registration earlier, it continued operations using the name of another certified doctor on official documents. The clinic at Gopalapuram in Hyderabad was sealed with assistance from the medical department. The racket resurfaced after a couple, who believed their child was born through surrogacy, discovered through a DNA test that the baby was not biologically theirs. Alarmed, the couple approached the police. Deputy Commissioner of Police (North Zone–Hyderabad) S Rashmi Perumal told PTI that Dr Namratha, along with her associates and agents, targeted vulnerable women—particularly those seeking abortions—and persuaded them to continue their pregnancies in exchange for money or other inducements. These newborns were then passed off as surrogate babies, misleading clients into believing they were their biological children. According to the police, the victim couple had approached Namratha's clinic in August 2024 for fertility and IVF consultation. After initial tests, they were advised to opt for surrogacy. They were then referred to the clinic's Visakhapatnam branch for specimen collection and were told the clinic would arrange a surrogate and handle the embryo transplant. Over the course of nine months, the couple made several payments totaling more than Rs 35 lakh. In June 2025, they were informed that a baby boy had been delivered via C-section in Visakhapatnam. The child was handed over to them along with documentation falsely listing them as the biological parents. "The baby was not shown as a child born to a surrogate, which drew their suspicion. Later, the couple went in for DNA test which revealed that the child's DNA did not match theirs," said Rashmi. When the couple sought clarification from the clinic, they were denied documentation and threatened, prompting them to file a police complaint. In the current case, police traced the baby's biological parents, originally from Assam and residing in Hyderabad, through agents. They had reportedly been paid a small amount after giving up the child. Both were arrested on charges of baby selling, and the infant has been handed over to 'Shishu Vihar' as per protocol. Dismissing certain media reports, Rashmi clarified, "It is a case wherein the victim couple were told that they were going in for surrogacy, but in reality the baby was sold by the original parents and that the baby was shown to this complainant couple (by the accused) as their child. But when they did the DNA test it was revealed as not matching with theirs." She also refuted claims that the child had cancer or that donor sperm had been used, reported PTI. The investigation remains underway, and additional legal action is being taken.

Who is Derrick Perry? The shopper who averted major tragedy as 11 people stabbed at Walmart in Michigan
What began as a regular Saturday afternoon at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, quickly descended into chaos as a 42-year-old man began stabbing customers at random. According to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office, the attacker entered the store around 5 pm. wielding a folding knife, ultimately injuring 11 people — six critically and five seriously. But amid the panic, one man's courageous actions helped prevent further bloodshed. Derrick Perry, a local resident shopping with his family at the Walmart store, is being credited with stopping the attacker before more lives were lost. Eyewitnesses say Perry ran toward the suspect while others fled. 'He didn't even hesitate,' said one shopper who witnessed the incident. 'Everyone was running away, but Derrick ran toward the danger.' Security footage reportedly shows Perry using a store shelf for cover before lunging at the attacker, tackling him to the ground, and restraining him until law enforcement arrived. 'He was just a shopper like the rest of us, but he acted like someone who had trained for this,' said another witness. 'He was calm, precise, and brave.' Sources later confirmed that Perry has a background in security training, which may explain his composed and effective intervention. Traverse City Police Chief Lauren Gilbert praised Perry's selfless actions, saying, 'Had he not stepped in when he did, the situation could've turned much worse. He likely saved lives.' Sheriff Michael Shea added that the attacker appeared to act alone and that the victims were chosen at random. City officials are reportedly preparing to honor Derrick Perry with a Community Hero Award in the coming days. On social media, he is being hailed as a real-life hero. 'He didn't come in wearing a cape,' a local resident posted on Facebook. 'But he showed the kind of courage you only see in movies.' Munson Healthcare confirmed that all 11 victims are being treated at the region's largest hospital. As of Sunday morning, four were in serious condition, and seven were in fair condition. 'Encouraging signs of recovery' have been observed, hospital spokesperson Megan Brown said. Authorities say the attacker used a folding knife and that there is currently no known motive. Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the incident a 'brutal act of violence,' adding, 'Our thoughts are with the victims and the community reeling from this.' The FBI has also offered assistance in the investigation. Steven Carter, a Walmart delivery driver, saw part of the attack unfold in the parking lot. 'I saw him cut a woman's throat,' he said. 'Later, a group of shoppers surrounded him. They kept yelling 'Drop the knife,' but he said, 'I don't care, I don't care.' He kept backing away before someone tackled and subdued him.' That someone, it turns out, was Derrick Perry.
