Suspected honour killing victim from Gujarat cracks NEET
Palanpur, An 18-year-old girl from Gujarat, who was a victim of suspected honour killing, has cracked the highly competitive National Eligibility cum Entrance Test , a police official said on Wednesday. Suspected honour killing victim from Gujarat cracks NEET The teen from Banaskantha district was allegedly killed by her father and two uncles on June 24 at her native village, said Danta division Assistant Superintendent of Police Suman Nala. To prepare for the all-India medical entrance exam, the victim had moved to Palanpur town, and during that time, she got into a live-in relationship with a man. '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 Nala. Based on a complaint submitted by her live-in partner Haresh Chaudhary, the Tharad police in the district on August 6 booked the girl's father Sendhabhai Patel and uncle Shivrambhai Patel for the murder, as they were against the relationship, Nala said. After the registration of FIR, police had arrested Shivrambhai and added the name of one Naran Patel to the FIR as co-accused, said the official. 'We arrested Naran Patel on Tuesday. He is a cousin of Shivrambhai and Sendhabhai, who is still absconding,' said Nala. Two weeks ago, police launched a probe into the teenager's death after Chaudhary, a resident of Vadgamda village, submitted an application alleging she might have been killed by her kin as they were opposed to their relationship and wanted to marry her off to someone else, Nala said. According to the FIR, Chaudhary, who is already married and has a son, fell in love with the girl after he gave her a lift from Tharad town to Palanpur. Nala said it is still unclear if Chaudhary had told the girl about his marital status. In May, both eloped to Ahmedabad, where they signed a formal agreement for a live-in relationship. They subsequently travelled to Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. However, on June 12, a police team from Tharad and a relative of the girl tracked them down to a hotel in Rajasthan. The girl was handed over to her uncle Shivrambhai, while Chaudhary was arrested in an old case registered in Kutch district under the Prohibition Act. After coming out of jail on June 21, Chaudhary learnt that the girl had messaged him twice through Instagram on June 17, expressing the fear that she might be killed by her kin or married off to someone else. Chaudhary told the police he couldn't read her messages earlier since he was in jail. He later contacted a lawyer, who filed a habeas corpus petition in the Gujarat High Court seeking that the girl be produced 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 were also performed the next morning. According to the FIR, the girl's father and uncle had decided to kill her, fearing that she might once again elope with the complainant. '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.

SC stray dog order row: How world manages its stray dog populations - from sterilisation drives to strict pet laws
NEW DELHI: Amid a spike in stray dog bite incidents, the Supreme Court on Monday (August 11) directed authorities to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR and house them in shelters -- with a strict ban on releasing them back onto the streets. 'If any individual or organisation comes in the way… we shall proceed to take strict action against any such resistance,' Justice Pardiwala warned, adding that animal activists and 'so-called lovers' must answer if they could bring back children lost to rabies. 'When the situation demands, you have to act,' the bench noted. What happens next? The court's order effectively means that every stray dog in Delhi-NCR will be taken to a pound or shelter home -- facilities where captured dogs are provided with food, medical treatment, and care. Officials have been cautioned that contempt proceedings will follow if the drive is obstructed. How other countries manage strays Globally, approaches range from humane control to stricter enforcement. Here's country-by-country explainer on how others manage free-roaming or stray dogs, organised by the main policy levers. Europe Netherlands Often cited as having virtually no stray dogs after decades of reforms: aggressive CNVR campaigns, compulsory identification or registration, and strong abandonment enforcement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Uber luxury living at Hyderabad's billionaire junction Sumadhura Group Learn More Undo Adoption culture and historic dog-tax or breeding controls also shaped behaviour. United Kingdom Microchipping is mandatory (England) under 2015 regulations; councils impound strays for 7 days to trace owners, then rehome via rescues (or, if necessary, euthanise). Abandonment and welfare offences carry fines and potential prison under the Animal Welfare Act. Switzerland Strict registration & microchipping (Amicus database), routine taxes at the canton level, and strong bans on abandonment—violations can trigger fines or jail. Tight breeding/sale rules keep inflow controlled. Germany (and wider EU trend) Germany's animal welfare framework empowers federal rules on permanent identification and trade restrictions; national and EU moves are tightening microchipping/registration to choke illicit supply. Public campaigns push FINDEFIX pet registries. Asia Thailand (Phuket as model) The Soi Dog Foundation runs one of the world's largest CNVR programmes -- catch, neuter, vaccinate, return at scale -- credited with slashing Phuket's stray population and driving rabies risk toward zero; the model has been replicated across Thailand. Bhutan National, government-led accelerated dog population management & rabies control programme - by 2023, Bhutan reported 100% sterilisation of free-roaming dogs alongside vaccination, unusual for its complete national scope. China (with a Beijing case study) China frames strays primarily as a rabies challenge: mandatory registration + annual rabies vaccination for owned dogs; cities like Beijing have achieved 80% canine immunity and zero human rabies since 2021, via mass vaccination, surveillance and public education. Japan Pet control relies on capture, quarantine, adoption promotion, widespread low-cost spay/neuter, and legal allowances for euthanasia (in declining numbers). National efforts have significantly lowered culling in recent years, though practices and rates vary by prefecture. South Korea Revised animal protection laws increased penalties for abandonment and enable police investigations; TNR widely targets community cats and, where appropriate, dogs - aimed at humane population stabilisation without large-scale culling. Turkey After CNVR struggled with patchy enforcement/funding, new national law (2024) requires municipalities to collect, sterilise, vaccinate, shelter and adopt out strays -- while allowing euthanasia of sick/aggressive animals. The law has sparked mass protests over culling fears and shelter capacity. Middle East & North Africa Morocco Since 2019, Morocco has scaled a national TNVR policy: capture, sterilise, rabies vaccinate, tag, and return unless the animal is dangerous/very ill. The state reports ~$23 million invested over five years and is adding dedicated TNVR centres in multiple cities. Americas & Australia United States (Austin, Texas as a 'no-kill' city) Austin formalised a 'no-kill' benchmark (=90% live release rate) by expanding foster/adoption pipelines, rescue partnerships, and behaviour or medical rehab - while keeping public-safety tools (dangerous-dog rules, targeted enforcement). Brazil (São Paulo and others) Large cities blend mass sterilisation, vaccination, and adoption fairs, often with public-education drives on responsible ownership. (Programme specifics and impact metrics vary by municipality and year; São Paulo is commonly cited for scale.) Australia States regulate: microchipping/registration is widely mandatory (e.g., Queensland; NSW), councils run pounds with defined holding periods and adoption/rehoming pathways; desexing requirements apply in several jurisdictions. What actually works (and why) 1) Make every dog traceable. Universal microchipping + registration changes owner behaviour and lets councils reunite quickly; it also underpins fines for abandonment. 2) Run CNVR/TNVR at scale, not sporadically. Fragmented sterilisation fails; where coverage is high and sustained (Phuket/Bhutan), births and bites collapse and rabies risk falls. 3) Pair population work with rabies systems. Mass dog vaccination, PEP access for humans, and bite surveillance deliver visible public-health wins (e.g., Beijing). 4) Invest in adoption pipelines - not just shelters. 'No-kill' cities show you need foster networks, rescue partners and behaviour support, or shelters fill and euthanasia creeps back. (Austin.) 5) Enforce abandonment and regulate supply. Stricter breeder/dealer rules, penalties for dumping, and controls on online trade reduce inflow. (UK, Switzerland, Germany/EU.)

'Hired, paid… and fired in 3 months': Startup founder's viral post on employee who faked it all
Building a startup is no easy feat, and hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake. Arshia Kaur, founder of beauty brand Tint Cosmetics, has gone viral on Instagram after sharing a shocking hiring experience that left her out of time, money and trust. In a series of videos, Kaur recounted how her company hired a 'perfect-on-paper' candidate for the Head of Marketing role in November 2024. The applicant seemed ideal-- claiming experience in scaling brands, managing e-commerce, running ad campaigns, and driving growth. He even walked the team through what appeared to be the backend of his previous work. 'He looked amazing on paper… everything seemed extremely legit,' Kaur said. But within weeks of joining, things began to unravel. The new hire struggled to communicate with the team or management, failed to deliver on assigned tasks, and offloaded work onto other employees-- including Kaur herself. Despite multiple discussions and warnings, there was no improvement. He was fired just two and a half months into the job. The real shock came later. Curious about the mismatch between his alleged past achievements and his current performance, Kaur rechecked his documents-- and realised the entire CV had been fabricated. His salary slips were forged on Microsoft Excel, complete with impossible details such as '31 working days' in a month. There was no company stamp or signature. 'It was all fake. We got completely duped,' Kaur said, showing screenshots in her Instagram post. The entrepreneur said the incident was a hard lesson in hiring diligence. 'When you're bootstrapped, every single penny matters -- it's hard-earned money. Please double-check every document before hiring. Founders, it's your right to have the correct information about anyone you bring into your company,' she advised. Her story has since sparked debate among small business owners and job seekers alike, with many calling it a wake-up call for stricter background checks in the hiring process.
