Woman's ‘save me' text to boyfriend, then murder: Father held in ‘honour killing' in Gujarat
An 18-year-old woman from Banaskantha district in Gujarat allegedly sent a chilling 'save me' message to her live-in partner before being killed in what police suspect was an honour killing. The release said that more than 650 persons involved in street crime were arrested in the month of July 2025.(PTI File Photo/representational) The woman, who had been in a relationship her father and uncle disapproved of, was allegedly strangled at her uncle's house on June 24, with her last rites performed the next morning to conceal the crime, news agency PTI quoted officials as saying. She had moved to Palanpur town to prepare for the all-India medical entrance exam and reportedly entered a live-in relationship with a man during that time. According to the FIR cited by PTI, Haresh Chaudhary, who is already married and has a son, fell in love with the girl after giving her a lift from Tharad town to Palanpur. It remains unclear if he had disclosed his marital status to her. In May, the couple eloped to Ahmedabad, signing a formal agreement for a live-in relationship, and later travelled to Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. On June 12, a Tharad police team and a relative tracked them to a hotel in Rajasthan. The girl was handed to her uncle Shivrambhai, while Chaudhary was arrested in an old Kutch district case under the Prohibition Act. 'Save me' messages ignored as boyfriend was incarcerated After his release on June 21, Chaudhary discovered that the girl had messaged him twice on Instagram on June 17, expressing fear that her family might kill her or force her into marriage. 'He couldn't read her messages earlier since he was in jail,' Nala said. A lawyer filed a habeas corpus petition in the Gujarat high court seeking her production before the court. However, on June 25, two days before the hearing, Chaudhary learnt that she had died on the night of June 24 and her last rites had been performed the next morning. FIR filed after complaint from live-in partner Based on a complaint by her live-in partner, Haresh Chaudhary, the Tharad police booked the girl's father, Sendhabhai Patel, and uncle Shivrambhai Patel for murder on August 6, Nala said. The accused were reportedly against the relationship. After registering the FIR, police arrested Shivrambhai and later added Naran Patel, a cousin of the father and uncle, as a co-accused. 'We arrested Naran Patel on Tuesday. He is a cousin of Shivrambhai and Sendhabhai, who is still absconding,' Nala said. According to the FIR, her father and uncle decided to kill her fearing she might elope again with Chaudhary. 'When the girl was at Shivrambhai's house at Dantiya village in Tharad on the night of June 24, she was offered milk containing sleeping pills. When she fell unconscious, the duo strangled her and performed her last rites the next morning to hide their crime,' said Nala. Gujarat girl had cleared NEET According to the report, she had also cleared the highly competitive National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), police said on Wednesday. 'She had given NEET a few months back, but it is still unclear if she wanted to become a doctor or a nurse. As per the results announced recently, she has cleared the test with good marks,' said Danta division Assistant Superintendent of Police Suman Nala. (With PTI inputs)

The 'Transport Man of India' who put nation on a fast track
India is at the cusp of 79 years of Independence from British rule and the country has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The economy has transformed from agrarian to service-based and yet manufacturing remains integral to the growth story. The push today is to make in India and to increase exports. A major sector that has seen India gradually become self-reliant is transport. The nation is aiming to become a giant in country produced nearly 31 million vehicles across categories in FY25 alone. The transport industry was given a head start even before Independence by one man who identified India's massive potential — Walchand Hirachand . Often referred to as the " Transport Man of India ", Walchand pioneered in setting up numerous industries, but none as crucial as establishing the country's first ship, aircraft and car manufacturing units —- the aircraft unit is today known as Hindustan Aeronautical Limited, a car factory that produced the famous Premier Padmini and the shipyard has now become Hindustan Shipping Limited. According to his Marathi biography, Walchand played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for India's massive transport industry, which became the driving force of the industrial sector. At the time when there was little support from the British Indian government, which had its own interest in looting India, Walchand built a name for himself and dared to make in India. Ernest beginnings Walchand was born in a fairly affluent Doshi family in Sholapur in 1882 as the fourth child of Hirachand, who was a cotton trader. He lost his mother only days after his birth and was raised by his aunt. His father moved to Bombay along with his kids and soon turned into a moneylender. Knowing the importance of education, Hirachand enrolled Walchand into B.A in economics and history at St Xavier's College. However, he had to travel frequently to Poona due to multiple plague outbreaks in the island city. A massive tragedy struck in the family when he lost two of his elder brothers to the deadly disease during the final year of his higher studies, which prompted him to drop out and support his father. He quickly learnt his family's trade of cotton but suffered a significant loss in his early days, leading him to never turn to textiles again. Luck struck when Walchand was approached by a contractor who supplied firewood to mills and Wachand realised this could make much more wealth than in his father's lending business. He happened to meet Laxman Balwant Pathak, who was eager to start railway contracts and together, they took up their first contract to lay a regular line between the villages of Yedhi and Tadwal. And thus started a journey that only grew exponentially. Taking a keen interest in understanding the railway line business and engineering, he soon became an expert in managing costs and time effectively. Within no time, Walchand had secured contracts to lay down tracks connecting major harbour areas in Bombay. This included a section of Reay Road to Kurla, which was particularly uneven and sections between Vikhroli and Bhandup, to prove his mettle further. The first World War broke out and the British needed to construct barracks. Sensing an opportunity, Walchand took up construction contracts from the army and made large profits as money was never an issue during this time of conflict. In the five years of war, he gained the confidence of the army and the government alike and rose quickly to become one of the top contractors in Bombay. He later joined the Tatas. Walchand was to become managing director of the Tata Construction Company in the 1930s and headed about 30,000 workers. Sailing in the uncharted waters The war was over and the contractual business was slowing down. A chance meeting with Watson, a close aide of the Gwalior Maharaja, during a train journey to Bombay, opened new avenues for Walchand. The British proposed that Walchand buy a steamer from the Maharaja. He estimated that the capital would be recovered within a year or two. Intrigued by the offer, the contractor took a risk and bought the ship, named 'Loyalty'. Walchand was treading into unknown waters. He knew nothing about the shipping business and his biggest rival would be the British India Steam Navigation Company, which for 60 years had controlled the Indian waters. Its chairman, James McKay, had a stronghold on all major ports in India and Britain. He operated with money and muscle power to kill any sort of competition. Walchand took his ship to England for repairs and managed to overspend by Rs 5 lakh, and the timeline overshot by four during his stay in London, he found out that six cargo ships were up for sale for a million pounds in Liverpool. He knew that to survive in the business, he had to expand his fleet and thus bought the ships after a bureaucratic and legal battle. Now armed with a fleet, Walchand returned to India and within no time went against McKay. He started trading with Burma and Java from smaller ports like Porbandar, making a handsome profit. He operated his ships with an all-Indian crew thus becoming the first Indian to run a shipping company. About 20 years after purchasing his first ship, Walchand set up India's first modern ship manufacturing unit in Visakhapatnam. Like for everything else, he had to fight a hard battle against the British Indian government. The Scindia Shipyard's foundation was laid in 1941 by Rajendra Prasad, who was the Congress chief at the time. The first fully built Indian ship was launched in March 1948 by the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The company produced three more ships by 1951, reducing the cost and time with each release. The company was nationalised as Hindustan Shipping Limited in 1961. Giving wings to India's aviation industry While on a trip to the US in 1939 to inquire about setting up a car factory, Walchand came across airplane manufacturing and made his mind to set one up in India. World War II acted as a catalyst for this industry as the British were being crushed by the German and Japanese rivals. Their planes were being downed and ships being sunk at an alarming rate. Walchand sprung into action upon his India arrival with an aim to manufacture India's civil and defence aircraft. The state of Mysore, in particular, showed interest to support the project and granted 700 acres of land for free about seven miles from Bangalore. The company, registered as Hindustan Aircraft Limited, was founded on December 23, 1940. The construction of the runway and the main building was completed in an astonishing three months and by March 1941, HAL had not only gained the licence to produce planes, but also had sought the technical expertise of William Pawley, a businessman, diplomat and pilot. Within the next six months, the Indian unit had manufactured its first aircraft — the Harlow PC-5 Trainer. As the war spread, the British government was desperate for aircraft to be produced in India to counter its Southeast Asia foe, Japan. The company was nationalised in 1942. Eventually, during the latter years of World War II, the factory was managed by the US Army Air Forces, becoming a major repair base for Allied aircraft in Asia. Post Independence the company was owned by the Indian government since it had evolved into production of military and civil aircraft components. In 1964, the company became Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in 1964, following the merger with Aeronautics India Limited. Today, the company plays a key role in India's defence aviation. The car race Even before the idea of setting up the aircraft factory, Walchand was interested in setting up a car factory in India. He identified the potential and the need for India's own car and visited the US to talk with Chrysler in 1939. There, he also visited production units of Ford and other companies. His aim was to produce 5,000 cars annually to start with and gradually scale the business. However, with the war, American companies had stalled their car production and were focusing on trucks and other military vehicles instead. This, coupled with constant delays from the government and land acquisition issues, delayed the setting up of the factory by four years. Walchand was also in a race against Birla, who wanted to set up a car factory of his own. Upon learning this, Walchand offered a partnership which could not see the light of day. He then wanted to set up the first car factory to produce cars, jeeps and trucks. With the support of the legendary M Viswesraiyya, Walchand set up Premier Automobiles in 1944. The company got the license from Chrysler to build Plymouth cars and Dodge trucks in India. The company started production in 1949 and localised production. Later, it got into a partnership with Fiat to make the Premier Padmini, which became very popular in India during the 1970s and 80s. Walchand retired in 1950 due to deteriorating health and subsequently died in 1953. While legacies of early industrialists like Tatas and Birlas continue, Walchand's name has receded in India's industrial history even though he was a rare pioneer.
