Investigators are currently trying to determine who deleted Radhika's social media accounts. 'We are also probing whether any other family member was involved in the murder,' ACP Yashwant added, 'The girl always consulted her family before making any decisions. The father was mentally disturbed due to repeated taunts about living on her income.'Deepak had reportedly been mentally disturbed for the past 15 days due to taunts from villagers accusing him of living off his daughter's earnings.

7 Dead, Over 100 Rescued Amid Heavy Rainfall In Gujarat
Gujarat's early monsoon showers have turned catastrophic as incessant rainfall triggered flash floods, building collapses, large-scale evacuations, and loss of life across multiple districts. The state saw heavy rainfall on June 16, 17 and 18, which claimed the lives of seven members of a family in Botad, and over 100 people have been rescued from various flood-affected areas. In Bhavnagar district, villages across the Bhal region remain submerged, days after intense rainfall battered the area. Vast tracts of land are still waterlogged. On June 18, the Bhavnagar Fire Department carried out a high-risk rescue operation near Kamlej village, saving 58 people -- including 10 women and nine children --trapped in floodwaters up to two kilometres from the nearest accessible point. Firefighters used a boat engine to navigate the swift waters, pulling stranded residents to safety. The disaster extended to livestock as well. More than 400 cattle were rescued and shifted to higher ground. Meanwhile, in villages like Devaliya, Paliyad, and Sanes, local residents used JCB machinery to drain water and restore basic services, such as electricity and sanitation. Despite a break in rainfall across nine talukas, the Gujarat Meteorological Department has retained rain alerts, warning of further spells in isolated pockets. Tragedy struck in the Botad district, where the bodies of seven individuals were recovered after their eco-car was swept away by flash floods near Lathidad village. Nine passengers were inside the vehicle, which attempted to cross a dangerously waterlogged stretch. Only two -- identified as Priyankbhai and Yashwant -- were rescued. The bodies, including six women and one man, were discovered during an intense search operation. Elsewhere in Gadhada taluka, 22 people were stranded in Pipaliya village due to the swollen riverbanks. A swift joint rescue mission, led by the NDRF and Botad district authorities, ensured all were evacuated safely. The administration has since made arrangements for temporary shelter, food, drinking water, and medical assistance for the displaced residents. In Surendranagar, the Dholidhaja Dam overflowed, releasing large volumes of water into the Bhogavo river, which breached its banks near Wadhwan town. Over 40 residents from low-lying areas were evacuated and moved to a government-run school for shelter. The administration has cautioned residents to avoid small bridges, canals, and causeways, warning of dangerously swift water currents. Appeals have also been issued to relocate valuables and essential items from flood-prone homes. Despite overcast conditions, Bhavnagar experienced a spike in temperatures. The maximum temperature climbed by 3.5 degrees Celsius to 32.7 degrees, while humidity levels remained oppressive. The sudden heatwave, combined with stagnant floodwaters, has raised concerns about post-flood health hazards, including waterborne diseases. The collective response -- from district authorities to local volunteers -- has averted larger-scale disasters. However, the events of the past two days have reflected the fragility of rural infrastructure, delayed early warning dissemination, and the urgent need for comprehensive monsoon preparedness in vulnerable districts.

‘Asli mard': UP man helps wife get married to boyfriend; social media reacts, ‘At least, he will be alive'
It's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam for real, well, almost. In the 1999 Bollywood movie, Ajay Devgn tries to get his on-screen wife, Aishwarya Rai, married to her boyfriend, played by Salman Khan. While the movie had a twist, a man in Uttar Pradesh became successful in his plans. In a village in Jaunpur, a man named Arvind helped his wife marry her lover after she had refused to end their relationship even after marriage. Arvind married Rita two years ago. However, she continued to stay in touch with her boyfriend, Yashwant. Eventually, Rita returned to her parents' home and eloped with Yashwant. After learning about the affair and Rita's refusal to return, Arvind chose to end the marriage peacefully. He arranged her wedding to Yashwant at a Durga temple in the local market. Photos and videos that went viral show Arvind standing with the couple and blessing them. He even helped with the wedding rituals. 'This asli mard marched her to a temple, handed Yashwant the sindoor, and said, Bhai, ab tu hi sambhal! Yashwant filled Rita's maang right there, and Arvind walked away like a legend,' wrote one social media user while sharing the video. Social media users did not miss the chance to refer to various recent reports of men suffering from marriage. 'He escaped from 498A and paying alimony,' wrote one user while another commented, 'It's not sacrificing, it's rationality.' 'Arvind turned betrayal into a bold handover, no drama, just full-on blockbuster exit,' commented another user. 'It is a wise move. Instead of finding him in the blue drum by the police, he has taken the right decision,' wrote another. One user remarked, 'Obviously Arvind did not want a snake in the marriage and got rid of her before she spread he venom in his family.' Another wrote, 'He saved his life, possibly jail, life-long alimony and whatnot.' 'Tbh it's great initiative.. kam se kam banda zinda to rhega (At least, he will be alive),' came from another. The sarcastic comments about Arvind saving his life are likely related to the recent Meghalaya murder. In May, Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered during his honeymoon in Meghalaya. His wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, allegedly plotted the killing with her lover, Raj Kushwaha. The Indore businessman's body was found on June 2 in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls. Sonam allegedly hired three contract killers. She fled but was arrested on June 9 in Ghazipur. Five accused are now in custody.
