Chandigarh: A full-blown domestic scandal turned violent for a sitting councillor in Chandigarh, with her husband assaulting her and their son in late Friday night incident. Both the councillor and her son were injured, and the latter had to be admitted to the Government Multi Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16.
Police later arrested the husband, identified as Sandeep.
Poonam, an AAP councillor from Ward 16, alleged that her husband had been involved in a long-standing illicit relationship with a woman from Sector 25 — a relationship that had cast a dark shadow over their family for over a decade.
The breaking point came when Poonam's elder son reportedly uncovered evidence confirming the affair. Upon confronting the woman, she allegedly retorted, "Do whatever you want, Sandeep is mine and will remain mine," — a statement that deeply disturbed the young man.
He rushed home to inform his mother.
What followed was a night of chaos. Sandeep allegedly returned home in a rage, physically assaulting his sons. When Poonam intervened, she too became a target of his fury. Not stopping there, the councillor claimed she went to confront the woman in Sector 25, only to be attacked by her and her family. In the scuffle, Poonam said she lost her gold earrings.
But the most chilling moment came later.

Sandeep allegedly stormed back into their home, brandishing a knife, and threatened to kill Poonam in front of their son.
She alleged that Sandeep had transferred large sums of money and given gold jewellery to the woman. And when she protested, Sandeep allegedly threatened to ruin her political career by filing false complaints against her.
Police arrested Sandeep under preventive measures, though he was later released on bail. The Sector 11 police have launched a deeper investigation into the serious allegations.

658 dumping spots under watch as cleanliness drive begins tomorrow
1 2 Patna: Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) is set to launch an intensive 15-day sanitation campaign, Swachhata Pakhwada (Cleanliness Fortnight), from July 1. The initiative is aimed at promoting hygiene, raising public awareness and improving Patna's ranking in the Centre's Swachh Survekshan 2025-26. As part of the campaign, sanitation workers will clean all 658 garbage vulnerable points (GVPs) that were successfully cleared. In addition, special teams will monitor high-traffic areas to prevent littering and illegal dumping while awareness sessions will be held in residential localities to educate citizens on proper waste disposal. Municipal commissioner Animesh Kumar Parashar said the drive would cover all 75 wards. "During this period, various activities will be conducted by sanitation workers at the freed GVP sites. Civic body officials will administer a cleanliness pledge to residents. Names of 'Sadak Shatru' — people caught littering or dumping waste — will be recorded and blacklisted. Offenders will be fined between Rs 500 and Rs 5,000," he said. Parashar added, "Awareness programmes will be held daily at 19 different locations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy One, Get One Free, Up To 50% Discount, Expiring Soon Original Adidas Get Offer Undo People will be encouraged to segregate solid and wet waste and to take responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean." Rallies are planned in all six civic circles – Azimabad, Bankipur, Kankarbagh, New Capital, Patliputra and Patna City – led by executive officers, zonal in-charges and ward councillors. Awareness activities will also extend to schools, colleges, hotels and public spaces. Additional municipal commissioner Aashish Kumar said despite previous clean-ups, garbage dumping at freed GVPs continues. "This campaign aims to ensure 100% cleanliness. Alongside the pledge, sanitation workers will be honoured for their dedication. Our primary focus is public participation, waste segregation and permanent elimination of GVPs," he said. Kumar also highlighted construction and demolition (C&D) waste as a key concern. "Awareness efforts will ensure full processing at the C&D plant in Ramachak Bairiya. The goal is to raise daily processing from 10-15 tonnes to over 19 tonnes per zone. PMC operates across 19 zones." The campaign will also integrate a dengue awareness drive. "Participants will be educated on dos and don'ts. With the rainy season underway, over 500 teams across 375 sectors are spraying anti-larvae to prevent water stagnation. Each ward is being closely monitored," he said. Officials said micro-level operations would target each ward with consistent household waste collection to ensure city-wide sanitation coverage throughout the fortnight.

Ahmedabad plane crash: Last victim identified by DNA tests cremated; closure only solace for kin
Anil Khimani , the last victim of the horrific June 12 Ahmedabad plane crash identified through DNA tests, has been cremated in Gujarat's Kutch district, bringing closure to the family after two weeks of wait and distress that included submission of samples twice. The 35-year-old, a mason by profession and father of two minor daughters, was on his way to London on Air India Flight 171 to meet relatives when it crashed into a medical college complex in Meghaninagar shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in what turned out to be one of the worst aviation disasters in recent times. His father Laljibhai had received a call from the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, which has been helming the DNA test and identification process, on Friday evening about Anil's body being identified.

In an effort to get closure to the pain from the loss, the family had held a symbolic cremation on Thursday, he added. Live Events "For the DNA test, I gave my sample first. But a few days later we were told that another sample will have to be given. We once again went to Ahmedabad and this time my wife gave the sample. We had been anxiously waiting for the results since then," the distraught father recounted. Following the final victim being identified, state government authorities on Saturday had put the death toll at 260, including 241 out of 242 on board the Dreamliner.
