Both individuals lived near each other in Ambedkarnagar. Indrawati and Azad, who was her grandson by relationship, shared a romantic relationship for quite some time. Despite frequently meeting, no one suspected their relationship due to the family bond between them.Four days before they fled, Indrawati's husband, Chandrashekhar, caught them talking secretly and grew suspicious. When he learnt about their affair, he opposed it strongly and tried to convince them to separate. However, the woman and her lover refused to listen and went ahead with their plan.Chadrashekhar even approached the police to solve the matter. However, the police refused to file a complaint as both Indrawati and Azad were adults and had the right to choose their partners.Indrawati even plotted with Azad to poison her husband and children to get rid of them.advertisementChadrashekhar further revealed that Indrawati was his second wife and his frequent work-related trips away from home allowed the relationship between Indrawati and Azad to grow.Devastated by the betrayal, Chandrashekhar has decided to perform his wife's terahvi (a Hindu ritual performed on the 13th day after someone's death), symbolically declaring her 'dead' to him.

Durg prison authorities in Chhattisgarh assure LDF delegation from Kerala of shifting ailing nuns to district hospital
The authorities at the Durg Central Prison in Chhattisgarh have promised to shift the incarcerated and reportedly ailing Keralite nuns Vandana Francis and Preeta Mary of the order of the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate (ASMI), to the district hospital, according to members of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) delegation that visited the duo at the prison on Wednesday (July 30, 2025). The Chhattisgarh police had arrested the nuns at the Durg railway station on July 25 after local activists of the Bajrang Dal, a Hindu right-wing organisation, mobbed them on the charge of attempting to spirit away three women, including a tribal, to Agra for 'forced conversion to Christianity'. The police have charged the nuns under Section 143 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for trafficking and under Section 4 of the Chhattisgarh Religious Freedom Act, 1968. The charges entail imprisonment of up to 10 years and a fine of not less than ₹2 lakh. Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) would move the District Sessions Court in Durg to secure bail for the nuns. Speaking to reporters outside the prison, Annie Raja, general secretary of National Federation of Indian Women and member of national secretariat of the Communist Party of India (CPI), said the nuns, given their health, found the prison conditions unbearable. 'The nuns have to sleep on the floor, despite one of them having arthritis. We have requested the authorities to provide them with beds. The nuns have no access to the medicines they consumed regularly to mitigate various chronic conditions. The sisters were inconsolable when they narrated the physical intimidation and verbal abuse they suffered at the hands of the Bajrang Dal activists as the local police meekly allowed the aggressors to conduct a kangaroo court and inquisition at the railway station and later at the local station house,' Ms. Raja said. She said the local authorities hustled away the three women who were travelling with the nuns to Narayanpur to avoid them meeting the LDF delegation. However, the LDF delegation was able to meet Subhuman Mandav, who had accompanied the three women, at the adjacent district jail for males. The local law enforcement had arrested Mr. Mandav, a tribal, on the charge of 'procuring vulnerable women from financially hard-pressed families in his socially backwards community' for conversion to Christianity. Kerala Congress (M) chairperson, Jose K. Mani, MP, alleged that the police allowed the Bajrang Dal activists to assault Mr. Mandav at the station house. Quoting Mr. Mandav, Mr. Mani alleged that the Bajrang Dal activists also coerced the three women to change their statement that they were baptised Christians and had joined the nuns on their own volition and with the explicit and written consent of their parents. 'The fear among Christians in the BJP-ruled States is palpable. Nuns and priests dare not wear their habits or meet members of their laity in Chhattisgarh,' he said. BJP's toxic agenda: Brinda Karat Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader Brinda Karat noted that Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai had endorsed the charges against the nuns on social media by terming the incident as human trafficking and inducement for religious conversion. 'Mr Sai's words reflected the BJP's toxic agenda to relegate minorities, chiefly Christians, as subaltern citizens in India. The Chief Minister is following the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) mandate required of him. The Bajrang Dal's attempt to portray them as foreigners and proselytisers exploiting the State's backwardness for conversion hurt the sisters involved in social work deeply,' Ms. Karat said. CPI(M)'s central committee member K. Radhakrishnan, MP, said the LDF would raise the issue in Lok Sabha again after the Speaker rejected the Opposition's notice for an adjournment debate. CPI(M) leader A.A. Rahim was part of the Left delegation.

Bangladeshi Hindu Homes Attacked And Looted After Teen's Derogatory Post On Prophet Muhammad
In an alarming incident, a 17-year-old boy's Facebook post on Prophet Muhammad has caused waves of violent mob attacks in Bangladesh's Rangpur district. 15 Hindu homes were attacked in a span of two days – Saturday and Sunday, after which families left their homes, sold off livestock and belongings in distress. The ransacking took place after the boy's arrest over blasphemy. Moreover, army and police were deployed to disperse the rampaging crowd. This incident has sparked anxiety among the Hindu community after their homes were burnt and as they have to take shelter with relatives and are still unsure about when they can even return home. The attacks took place in Aldadpur village after the boy – a third-semester student at a polytechnic institute – posted derogatory content about Prophet Muhammad on Facebook. Despite the widespread violence and protests, there had been no FIR or arrests made. According to The Daily Star, the boy was arrested around 8:30 pm on Saturday evening after police received complaints about the post. "A case was filed under the Cybersecurity Act, and the boy was later sent to a juvenile rehabilitation centre following a court order," a police officer, Al Emran, told Dhaka-based newspaper, Prothom Alo. After his arrest, the violence started, following which the police and army were deployed. "Fifteen houses were damaged or looted. We are preparing a list and working on financial and other forms of support," an official, Mahmud Hasan Mridha, said after visiting the village. "We didn't sleep all night," Kamalakanta Roy, a villager, told Prothom Alo. "We had 10–12 mon (400–480 kg) of paddy, and we're selling it now." Apart from the destruction, valuables were looted. Locals said gold jewellery, legal documents had been looted. This violence falls under a pattern of persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, since PM Sheikh Hasina's government was ousted. Although the interim government has taken steps to curb such attacks on minorities, Muhammad Yunus, had earlier called these reports "exaggerated propaganda". Per India's Ministry of External Affairs, after Hasina was ousted in August 2024, Bangladesh witnessed a sharp escalation of violence against Hindus. There had been 200 cases of attacks across 52 districts within the first week. By October 22, the interim government had officially acknowledged 88 cases of communal violence against Hindus. National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam condemned the attacks and said that no one should be spared for insulting the Prophet, but "justice must follow the law." "Three families, including that of the detained boy and his uncle, are staying at their relatives' homes at a neighbouring village," the chief adviser's office said. "The repair works of the Hindu households will start from Tuesday under the supervision of the district and concerned sub-district administrations," it said in a statement.
