Youths caught faking bone in veg ‘biryani' to skip bill
However, their act quickly unravelled when CCTV footage revealed the shocking truth.
The incident took place on the night of July 31 at the 'Biryani Bae', a restaurant located at Shastri Chowk in the Cantonment police station area. A group of eight to 10 young men visited the restaurant and placed orders for both veg and non-veg biryani.
Shortly after their meal was served, one of them began creating a ruckus, claiming that a bone was found in his veg biryani — a serious allegation, especially during the holy month of Shravan.
After getting the information, the police managed to control the situation and a restaurant staff showed the CCTV footage in the restaurant to the police which clearly showed one of the youths handing a bone to another, who then discreetly placed it into the veg biryani plate to fake the claim, restaurant owner Ravikar Singh said.
Singh added both veg and non-veg dishes are prepared separately in his kitchen and there was no possibility of cross-contamination.
"They clearly wanted to avoid paying the bill, which was around Rs 5,000–Rs 6,000. Their actions were completely deliberate," he told the police.
Circle Officer (CO) Cantonment, Yogendra Singh, confirmed the sequence of events, stating, "After receiving information, police reached the restaurant on July 31 and ensured law and order was maintained."
However, no formal complaint has been lodged from either side so far.

Manager of DRDO guest house detained for spying
Jaisalmer: Central intelligence agencies detained on Monday Mahendra Singh, a manager of a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) guest house located near Chandan Field Firing Range, Jaisalmer, on suspicion of espionage for the ISI, Pakistan's intelligence agency. Jaisalmer SP Abhishek Shivhare confirmed the detention, saying that Singh was set to undergo intensive interrogation at the Joint Interrogation Centre here on Tuesday where security and intelligence agencies will collaborate to uncover the full extent of the information he allegedly shared with the ISI. Officials are particularly focused on determining how long this activity has been going on and the nature of the leaked information. Singh, from Almora in Uttarakhand, has been stationed at the guesthouse for the past four to five years and is suspected to have provided sensitive information regarding strategic military operations, including movements and test data pertaining to DRDO, the Indian Army and Air Force, to operatives in Pakistan. The DRDO guest house where Singh is employed is known to accommodate experts and scientists involved in missile and weapon trials at the nearby Pokhran Field Firing Range. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find the Lowest Auto Insurance Rates in Your Area AutoSaveMax Get Quote Undo The location is significant as it conducts various military exercises and strategic operations throughout the year.

"What Happened To Report?" Top Court To Manipur On Biren Singh's Alleged "Audio Clip"
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday questioned the state government for not placing on record a fresh forensic report on the authenticity of leaked audio clips alleging role of former Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh in the ethnic violence despite its directions. A bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kumar and Satish Chandra Sharma referred to a previous order and asked the state, "What happened to the forensic report? That should have come at least. This order was passed in May 2025. Three months have passed. By now, the forensic report laboratory must have given you a report. At least tell us whether the report has come or it's still in the pipeline." When the state's counsel said the FSL report had not come, the bench asked further, "How long does it take FSL to give a definite report on the analysis of the voice? We will pass it over. This can't go endlessly." The matter could not reach the hearing again during the day. On May 5, a bench headed by former CJI Sanjiv Khanna examined a forensic report on authenticity of leaked audio clips alleging role of former Manipur CM and asked the state government to file a fresh report on the probe. It opened the sealed cover report of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) submitted by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and asked him to seek instructions from the state officers on the investigation. "The FSL report has been filed. We need a month to probe it," the law officer said. Mehta further said the Manipur High Court could hear the matter as "peace is prevailing now and the probe can go on". After perusing the report, the CJI asked the law officer that he would have to speak to the officers about it. The bench then posted the matter for a fresh report in the week of July 21. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for petitioner Kuki Organisation for Human Rights Trust (KOHUR), said the probe related to the former chief minister and it should be fair, the CJI said, "Now we have the President Rule there... it should not be a problem". The matter was subsequently kept on August 4. The state government earlier informed the bench that a forensic report on the authenticity of the leaked audio clips alleging the role of Singh in the ethnic violence was ready to be filed. Singh resigned as the chief minister of Manipur on February 9, amid rumblings within the state BJP and growing demands for a change in leadership. The top court had previously sought a sealed-cover forensic report from the CFSL on the authenticity of the leaked audio clips alleging Singh's role in the ethnic violence that began in May 2023. KOHUR had sought a court-monitored SIT probe into Singh's alleged role. Bhushan termed the contents of the audio leaks a "very serious matter" and said Singh was purportedly heard saying that Meitei groups were allowed to loot arms and ammunition of the state government. On November 8 last year, a bench headed by former CJI D Y Chandrachud directed KOHUR to produce material to indicate the authenticity of some of the leaked audio clips. Over 260 people were killed and thousands displaced since the ethnic violence broke out between the Imphal valley-based Meitei and neighbouring hills-based Kuki communities in May 2023. The clashes began after a "Tribal Solidarity March" was organised in the hill districts to protest against an order of the Manipur High Court on the Meitei community's demand for scheduled tribe status. Bhushan alleged that the recorded conversation prima facie showed the complicity and involvement of the state machinery in the violence against the Kuki Zo community. He said the clips had "disturbing conversations" and Singh could be heard instigating the violence and protecting the attackers. KOHUR's plea alleged that Singh was instrumental in "inciting, organising and thereafter centrally orchestrating the large-scale murder, destruction and other forms of violence against the Kuki-dominated areas in Manipur".
