Rohtak shocker: Man dies by suicide after receiving obscene video of wife with lover; claims she pressured him to kill father, sell land for partner's promotion
ROHTAK: A man died by suicide after allegedly being harassed by his wife, Divya, and her alleged lover, Deepak, a police inspector said. The victim has been identified as Magan alias Ajay. A video that Magan received just before ending his life has now surfaced, showing Divya dancing while her boyfriend records the footage. During the video, the two can be seen engaging in obscene behaviour. According to Magan's family, Divya herself sent this video to her husband. The emotional trauma that followed reportedly led Magan to hang himself last week. Before dying, Magan recorded a video where he alleged that his wife Divya and her police officer boyfriend were mentally harassing him. He claimed Divya pressured him to murder his own father and sell ancestral land so that Deepak could get a promotion in his police job. In the video, Magan appealed to the police to take strict action against both of them. Magan's body was found hanging from a tree on the night of June 18 in Dobh village here. His family found the body after they began searching for him upon seeing the suicide video he posted on social media earlier that morning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo In the video, Magan clearly held his wife Divya and her lover Deepak responsible for his suicide. He stated, 'Divya has an affair with Deepak, a policeman posted in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Maharashtra. Both of them have mentally tortured me.' He further revealed that both Divya and Deepak pressurised him to kill his father and sell ancestral property. 'They want to buy a flat in Mumbai using that money. But I can't kill my father, so I am ending my life,' Magan said. Magan also claimed that Deepak needed Rs 5 lakh for a job promotion. 'After selling wheat, I gave Rs 1.5 lakh to Divya. On June 9, 2025, I mortgaged my gold bracelet and gave her another Rs 2 lakh. The transaction records are in a file kept at home. Even after paying Rs 3.5 lakh, they were demanding another Rs 1.5 lakh from me,' he said. Magan said he discovered 1.5 years into the marriage that Divya was already married and had a son from that marriage. She did not legally divorce before marrying him. 'When I consulted a lawyer, he advised me to file a case since Hindu law doesn't allow remarriage without divorce. But I never took action and instead paid her to settle with her first husband.' In his last video, Magan addressed his rakhi sister, Savita Arya from Panipat, who works for women's rights. He said, 'Even if a woman is wrong, she gets sympathy by shedding a few tears. But even a right man ends up losing his life. Please do something for men too.' He also appealed to Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and Meham MLA Balram Dangi. 'After my death, my son should stay with my parents. They are losing their only son. I urge the MP and MLA to visit my home and assure my parents that no one will take my son away from them.' Magan's family said the couple met through social media in 2019 and later registered their marriage. Initially, the family did not approve, but after Divya gave birth to a son, they accepted her. Magan's family stated that Divya had a job but never disclosed what it was. She often stayed away from home for days, using work as an excuse. They suspect it was during these trips that she met Deepak in Maharashtra. She left home on March 20, 2025, saying she was going for work but never returned. She remained in contact over the phone for a while and was later found to be living with Deepak in Maharashtra, from where she allegedly continued to harass Magan. ASI Sanjay from Bahu Akbarpur Police Station stated that efforts are being made to trace Divya. A team visited her parental home in Narnaund, Hisar, but family members claimed to have had no contact with her for years. Police are examining Magan's call records and bank transactions. Once evidence is consolidated, a team will be dispatched to Maharashtra to locate and apprehend Divya.

Stung by repeated cheating cases, Haryana introduces AI to monitor Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test
1 2 3 Rohtak: Stung by repeated incidents of candidates using unfair means to clear entrance exams, Haryana govt is now going to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance for its upcoming teacher eligibility test — a first for the state. The Haryana Board of School Education has completed all preparations for the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET), scheduled to be held on July 26 and 27. Speaking to the press on Thursday, board chairman Pawan Kumar revealed that over 4.05 lakh candidates will appear for HTET this year, with Gurugram district contributing 42,783 candidates, the highest in the state. "In a significant move towards transparency and fairness, the board has decided to implement an AI-based monitoring system that will track and identify examinees in real time," he said. As soon as a candidate enters the examination zone, the system will fetch their entire data history. What makes this system more effective is its ability to identify if the same individual appeared in previous exams under a different name. If any such discrepancy is detected, or if a candidate is found to have used unfair means in past examinations, the AI system will flag them immediately. "The goal is clear: we want a fair and cheating-free examination process," said Pawan Kumar. "This is why we've taken the bold step of integrating AI into our exam surveillance. It's a first for HTET, and we believe it will set a strong precedent for future exams," he said. This year, more than 600 examination centres will be established across the state. Each centre will host approximately 310 candidates. The exam will be conducted across three levels: Level 1 (PRT) will see the participation of 82,917 candidates; Level 2 (TGT) will have 2,01,517 candidates; and Level 3 (PGT) will include 1,20,943 candidates. Chief secy reviews CET preparations Chandigarh: Haryana chief secretary Anurag Rastogi on Thursday held a meeting with all deputy commissioners and superintendents of police to review preparations for the Common Eligibility Test (CET)expected to be held next month. The test is being conducted for recruitment to group C and D posts in Haryana govt. The chief secretary emphasised the need to ensure the examination is conducted in a free, fair, smooth, and transparent manner. During the meeting, it was informed that around 13,48,697 applications were received for the CET. HSSC has proposed to hold the examination over two-three days. The chief secretary directed all DCs to begin the process of identifying suitable examination centres in their districts within three days. He emphasised that centres should be chosen keeping in mind security, logistics, transportation accessibility, and capacity to accommodate candidates.

A path to peace The prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to cause widespread suffering. A realistic ceasefire must involve compromises being made by both sides and commitments from the global community. First, Ukraine and the neighbouring countries could adopt a neutral stance, with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization formally agreeing not to expand into Russia's immediate neighbourhood. In return, major powers, including India and China, should jointly warn that any future unprovoked Russian aggression would face united global opposition. This would give regional countries a sense of security without the need for NATO membership. Second, Russia should return a portion of the occupied territories as a gesture of goodwill. While full territorial resolution may take time, partial withdrawal could help rebuild trust and open space for lasting peace talks. These steps will protect national sovereignties, reduce military tensions, and prevent further bloodshed. Lakshay Siwach, Rohtak, Haryana West Asia tensions The conflict between Israel and Iran is one where India cannot execute its ace de-hyphenation policy. It needs Iran for black gold and Israel for technology. The only thing that India can do is to hope for a de-escalation. Nayan Parashar, Indore, Madhya Pradesh Ending the drought South Africa's well-deserved win in the World Test Championship against arch rival Australia not only represents its long- awaited tryst with destiny — reminding it of its Rugby World Cup triumph in 1995 — but also overcoming the long-standing fear of being bad finishers in critical times. In fact, the new team has reaffirmed Nelson Mandela's slogan of one team one country. Temba Bavuma's cricket team is the embodiment of a rainbow nation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that sports has the potential to act as a balm for wounded souls and nations. Vijay Singh Adhikari, Nainital, Uttarakhand

Scuffle breaks out at Naveen Jaihind's meeting as minister's supporters disrupt event
1 2 3 4 5 Rohtak: A meeting of politician-turned-social activist Naveen Jaihind was held on Sunday at a BPL flat here, where supporters of minister Arvind Sharma also arrived, resulting in a ruckus. A physical scuffle broke out between both sides, prompting Naveen Jaihind to call the police. Jaihind convened the meeting for his supporters, but some individuals reportedly aligned with Arvind Sharma arrived from distant areas. While Jaihind was speaking, a few men grabbed the microphone and began interrupting, urging him to stay away from the ongoing dispute between MLA Ramkumar Gautam and minister Arvind Sharma. Their comments sparked outrage among Jaihind's supporters, leading to the scuffle. Ramesh Sharma, who came from Pillukheda to attend the meeting, claimed he was merely explaining an issue that began over jalebi (a sweet dish) when supporters of Jaihind manhandled him and forced him out. He confirmed the altercation took place during this exchange. Sudama Phogat, a resident of Rithal who also attended the meeting, said he was invited by Jaihind via a Facebook post. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Köln: Gutes Hören sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung Gutes Hören Undo According to him, Naveen Jaihind had no right to speak on the issue between Ramkumar Gautam and Arvind Sharma.

"A minister in the state govt is sending goons to create conflict at a peaceful gathering. Who gave Arvind Sharma the licence to instigate such chaos? Is it arrogance of power?" Jaihind questioned.

Even as INDIA bloc pushes for Parliament session on Pahalgam & Op Sindoor, fault lines evident
'The government is accountable to the Parliament, which is accountable to the people of India,' Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha floor leader Derek O'Brien said to reporters after the meeting, adding that the decision to send the letter was taken by the heads of the opposition parties. Leaders from five INDIA bloc parties, the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Samajwadi Party (SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT) met at the Constitution Club of India Tuesday to finalise the draft of a joint letter being sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising the demand. New Delhi: At a time when voices from within are raising existential questions about the fate of the INDIA bloc, 16 members of the opposition alliance have joined hands to demand a special session of Parliament on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Congress's Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda and party General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh represented the Congress in the meeting—the first such Opposition huddle after Operation Sindoor—which was also attended by Sanjay Raut of Shiv Sena (UBT), RJD's Manoj Jha and Prof Ram Gopal Yadav of the SP. The other parties which are signatories to the letter include both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs of the CPI, CPM, CPIML, RSP, DMK, National Conference, IUML, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Kerala Congress, VCK, and MDMK. Speaking to ThePrint on condition of anonimity, a senior Congress functionary said that Rahul Gandhi spoke to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, Abhishek Banerjee, DMK's T.R. Balu and Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Aaditya Thackeray to get them on board with the idea of a joint letter. 'Initially, both LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and LoP Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to the PM separately. But Rahul wanted the INDIA to coordinate on this matter. So, he called the leaders of some INDIA partners. Subsequently, Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal, Lok Sabha Deputy leader Gaurav Gogoi, Chief Ehip K. Suresh and whips Manickam Tagore and Mohammad Jawed reached out to the parties,' the leader said. However, even as the leaders met, the fault lines within the coalition were all too evident. For instance, the AAP stayed away from the meeting and is writing to the Centre separately seeking a special session of Parliament. Leaders who attended the meeting said that the AAP conveyed its unwillingness to share a platform with the Congress. The Left parties, which are signatories to the letter, were also not invited to the meeting that lasted around 40 minutes. The NCP (SP) also did not attend Tuesday's meeting, with Sharad Pawar having previously announced that he was not in favour of holding any discussion on Operation Sindoor on an open forum. Speaking at the launch of Congress leader Salman Khurshid's book last month, former Home Minister P. Chidambaram had said, 'I am not sure if the INDIA alliance is intact. If it's intact, I am very happy. It can be put together. There's still time.' CPI general secretary D. Raja said to reporters that he was not aware of the meeting, but his party has been raising the demand for a special session. The Left parties were excluded from Tuesday's meeting at the insistence of the TMC, which shifted its stance on the special session following political attacks by PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on West Bengal's ruling party. While the Congress had been demanding a special session of the Parliament since the 22 April Pahalgam attack, the TMC, which sends the third-largest contingent to the Lok Sabha from the Opposition, had initially not joined the principal opposition party in amplifying the demand. TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee is among the members of the seven multi-party delegations sent to various world capitals to convey India's position on cross-border terrorism following Operation Sindoor. According to TMC sources, the party felt that at a time Banerjee was conveying New Delhi's position very effectively, Shah's remarks that Mamata Banerjee 'opposed' Operation Sindoor were 'unwarranted'. SP's Ram Gopal Yadav said if the government could send the multi-party delegations, there is no reason for it to not convene a special session of the Parliament. In remarks along similar lines, Raut said, 'if you could announce a ceasefire based on US President Donald Trump's intervention, you should also accept the Opposition's demand to call a special session of the House.' While at the press conference, Jha said, 'Donald Trump has said 13 times in the past fortnight that he brokered the truce. As a community, as a nation, we are hurt. Who will convey that message? It is the Parliament. If the Parliament is called, we will speak in one voice…The matter is of accountability. The government is accountable to the Parliament.'
