Following an initial investigation on Friday, an FIR was filed under BNS Section 106 (causing death by negligence) at the Baradari police station against
sanitation contractor Nayeem Shastri
. "We are proceeding with legal action," the officer added.
In his complaint, Sunil's father, Girvar Singh Prajapati, stated that his son had been sleeping under a tree opposite a cemetery on Thursday when a municipal trolley dumped waste directly on him. 'The workers left without checking. That location wasn't even designated for dumping silt or garbage,' he said. 'Later, we were devastated to find him buried under the waste. We rushed him to the hospital, but he had already died.'

Ferozepur tattoo shop killing: Day on, two arrested, hunt on for five more
A day after a 29-year-old man was gunned down in a tattoo shop in Ferozepur, seven persons, including notorious gangster Ashish Chopra, were booked in the case. Two of the accused, identified as Angrez Singh and Joginder Singh, have been arrested, while a hunt is on for the remaining suspects. The victim, Ashu Monga, was shot dead by four persons on Thursday, allegedly over an old rivalry. As per the police, the victim had got into a verbal dispute with the accused a few days ago, which is likely the reason behind his brutal killing. Police said Monga had been dragged out of the shop and shot multiple times, killing him on the spot. A video of the incident, captured by a local from a building across the shop, showed four men going on a rampage on the road, opening multiple rounds in the air. Ferozepur senior superintendent of police Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said a case was registered against the accused on the statement of the victim's wife, Pawanpreet Kaur. The primary accused are Ashish Chopra, Amrik Singh alias Amrika, Gurdit Singh, Angrez Singh, Joginder Singh, Shivam Sehgal alias Sanga, and Yuvraj alias Yuvi, along with four to five unidentified individuals.

Hustle culture or harassment? Techie shares her traumatic experience at dream startup: 'Was gaslighted for 3 years'
Starting a career with a startup has become increasingly common among young graduates, promising rapid learning, diverse responsibilities, and the chance to be part of something from the ground up. But beneath this appealing exterior often lies a turbulent and unpredictable reality—one that blurs personal boundaries, disregards employee safety, and prizes image over integrity. In 2022, a fresh graduate took her first step into the corporate world, joining a high-profile Indian SaaS startup focused on identity verification. Backed by elite investors and founded by business school alumni, the company appeared to embody promise and prestige. However, the glitter faded quickly. Within weeks, she was subjected to disturbing acts of misconduct. A senior leader, much older and in a position of power, made a non-verbal demand for physical contact—an inappropriate and humiliating request. Just days later, at a company event, the same man assaulted her while she was intoxicated, physically picking her up and ignoring her repeated pleas to stop. The immediate aftermath was marked by disbelief and betrayal. Her attempt to seek help through the HR department resulted in shallow assurances but no real action. Despite being encouraged to file a formal complaint, fear held her back. New to the workforce and only 21, she didn't feel safe challenging the very people in control of her career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo When she confronted the man who harassed her, he downplayed the incident with manipulative justifications and thinly veiled threats, suggesting he'd walked away from similar situations before. As she refused to stay silent, the retaliation began. Excluded from meetings, projects, and informal gatherings, she was systematically isolated and humiliated. The psychological toll deepened with each passing day. The hostile environment wasn't limited to a single incident or individual. Even her female reporting manager crossed boundaries by asking extremely personal and inappropriate questions during the first week. It was clear that workplace harassment had been normalized within the company's culture. This culture of manipulation and gaslighting chipped away at her mental and physical health. Frequent illnesses, anxiety, and emotional breakdowns became part of her daily life. Conversations felt like navigating a maze filled with hidden traps. She found herself alone in a place that publicly celebrated trust and safety. Ironically, the startup continued to build its brand around mental health awareness and inclusivity while silencing voices like hers. Senior leaders mocked women's safety laws behind closed doors. When she raised concerns with one of the co-founders, he offered only passive resignation, acknowledging the abuse while doing nothing to address it. Three years later, she still bears the scars—emotional, mental, and professional. Her confidence eroded, her personal life was disrupted, and her career was derailed before it truly began. While the startup continues to promote its polished image and attract investments, she's left grappling with lasting trauma. Her story is a stark reminder that "culture" is not built through slogans, TED Talks, or branding campaigns. It's revealed in how power is wielded when no one is watching—and in whether people feel safe when they speak up.
