Angry Fiancé Shreds Rs 32,000 Lehenga To Pieces In Thane Store After Being Denied Refund
A young man lost his temper when a bridal shop refused to give back money for a lehenga (wedding dress) that his fiancée did not want anymore. The outfit had cost Rs 32,300, and the store had said they would only give a credit note instead of returning the money.
The lehenga was bought on June 17, but later that same day, the bride-to-be, Meghna Makhija, told the shop she had changed her mind and didn't want it anymore. The store manager told her that she could use the amount as store credit within two months, according to the Times of India.
A month later, Meghna visited the shop again to see if she could exchange it, but a salesman told her that due to an ongoing stock clearance sale, she should return after some time.
Soon after, her fiancé, Sumit Sayani, stormed into the store with a knife. He got into an argument with the staff and demanded for full refund of that lehenga. When they refused, he lost his temper and slashed the lehenga to pieces right in the store with the knife, saying, 'I'll tear you apart like this if you don't return my money".
A young woman purchased a lehenga ghagra from a well-known showroom in Kalyan. Her friend demanded a refund, stating they did not want the lehenga ghagra and asked to buy different clothes instead.

The act, which was caught on CCTV, shocked other shoppers, and the man also allegedly demanded Rs 3 lakh from the store and threatened to leave a bad Google review. The frightened shopkeeper lodged a complaint at the Bazarpeth police station.
Police arrested Sumit, but he was quickly granted bail. He admitted to the incident and told officers he acted out of anger, according to Surajsingh Gaund, senior inspector at Bazarpeth police station.

Bhatkhande scam kingpin still on run
Lucknow: The CID has intensified its probe into the Rs 3.31 crore scam at Bhatkhande Sanskriti University, carrying out searches to trace the alleged mastermind — administrative officer Ram Kumar — who remains absconding. Seven people, including two faculty members, were arrested on July 23. Ram Kumar allegedly manipulated tender and construction processes under the patronage of top officials. Contracts worth crores were reportedly handed out arbitrarily, often without any formal tender process — sometimes even on plain paper. He fled weeks ago as the probe loomed. CID sources say further arrests are likely as the investigation progresses.

Cops search for inmate who fled Kalamba open jail in Karnataka & Goa
Kolhapur: Police have been unable to locate Suresh Chothe, a 38-year-old resident of Gadhinglaj's Chothewadi, who escaped from the car washing centre operated by the open prison of Kalamba Central Jail on Thursday afternoon. Despite 48 hours of search efforts, the vehicle he used in his escape remains untraced. Police suspect that accomplices assisted in Chothe's getaway. The local crime investigation branch detained Chothe's cousin for providing him with Rs 13,000 upon his arrival in Gadhinglaj on Thursday. The Juna Rajwada police said a search is underway in the border area and Karnataka. They believe Chothe may have altered the car's number plate, suggesting the involvement of accomplices. Juna Rajwada inspector Sanjeev Zade said, "Inquiries are underway with his (Chothe's) relatives and friends. Teams have been deployed in parts of Gadhinglaj in Kolhapur as well as in Karnataka and Goa states to trace Chothe." Meanwhile, authorities at the Kalamba prison confirmed that Chothe was transferred to an open prison due to his good behaviour. It is believed he may have increased his contact with people while working at the car washing centre, leading to a possible conspiracy to escape using the car washing as an excuse.
