Model says man in Gurugram kept ‘staring and masturbating' near her: ‘Nobody really understands...'
"While I was waiting for a cab, I noticed a man came around me and was constantly staring at me. Then I noticed that his pants' zip was unzipped, and he kept staring and masturbating in front of me. I felt very disgusted," the woman said.
In her video post, the model said she was too shocked and afraid to scream or react at the time.
'People said I should have shouted or slapped him, but no one really understands what goes through a woman's mind at that moment. I just wanted to stay safe,' she added.
The model, who is also a digital creator with over 38,000 followers on Instagram, said that after receiving no response from any agency, she shared a video of herself recounting the incident at the intersection on 4 August, once again tagging the relevant agencies and officials.
Sandeep Kumar, Public Relations Officer of Gurugram Police, told HT, 'He was wearing a mask, denim trousers, a check shirt and was carrying a backpack in the front. We are tracking (footage) to know where he had moved from the place,' he said, adding that the woman's statement was recorded on Wednesday.

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.

'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.

Man with ‘close' links to Goldy Brar arrested in Badshah's Chandigarh club blast case
The Delhi Police Special Cell on Wednesday arrested another accused in connection with the 2024 bomb attack outside singer-rapper Badshah's nightclub in Chandigarh. The arrested man was allegedly in close contact with notorious gangster Goldy Brar.(HT file photo) The accused, identified as Deepak, was arrested in Delhi. He is a resident of Punjab's Faridkot and was allegedly in close contact with notorious gangster Goldy Brar, who had earlier claimed responsibility for the blasts. On November 26 last year, two crude bombs went off outside two Chandigarh clubs, Seville Bar and Lounge, owned by Badshah, and De Orra Club. CCTV footage showed a man throwing a crude bomb at the clubs before fleeing the scene. The explosions shattered the clubs' glass windows. No injuries were reported. Hours later, Goldy Brar, linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility in an alleged Facebook post. An unverified post also claimed Brar and another gangster, Rohit Godara, were involved. On November 29, two suspects were arrested after an encounter in Haryana's Hisar district. The operation was carried out jointly by Chandigarh Police and the Haryana Special Task Force. Both accused were shot in the leg before being taken to a hospital for treatment.
