GMC employee killed in Gaya, four arrested
Confirming the GMC employee's killing, Delha police station SHO, Dev Raj Indra, said four people have been arrested in this connection. An FIR has also been lodged in this regard.
The four accused have been identified as Vakil Manjhi, Vicky Manjhi, Babloo Manjhi and Vikas Manjhi. Vakil Manjhi is the brother-in-law (sala) of Manish, police said.
The SHO said an old enmity appears to be the reason behind the killing.
According to stories doing the rounds in the area, the killing was the result of elopement and subsequent love marriage of the alleged killer's sister with the killed man's brother. On the issue of
honour killing
, the SHO said the investigation was in the preliminary stage and it will be inquired from that angle as well.
At this stage, nothing can be said with certainty, he said.
The love marriage took place several years back and it was not an inter-caste issue, said the SHO. For that reason, the honour killing theory gets weakened, he added.
On the other hand, Manish's brother told reporters that ever since his love marriage, his wife's brother nursed hatred against him as well as his family and his brother's murder was the outcome of that anger.

Fake Drone Alert: Two YouTubers Held For Spreading False Panic In Meerut
Two female YouTubers were creating fake content about drone sightings just to get more views and followers online. Police in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, recently increased patrolling after people reported spotting suspicious drones in nearby areas. Many feared that drone thieves were active, which made locals worried and alert. But after the investigation, police found that the sightings were not real. Instead, two female YouTubers were behind the false stories. They were creating fake content about drone sightings just to get more views and followers online. Both women were taken into custody but were later released on bail after police questioned them. Surprisingly, it's not the first time something like this has happened in Uttar Pradesh. The two content creators involved in the case were identified as Laiba Mantasha and Meenakshi Singh. A part of their video is now going viral on social media. In the clip, one of them can be heard saying that she was out at 3 AM looking for a drone thief. Although no actual person was shown in the video, she acted as if she was chasing someone. She told her followers to stay alert and claimed that there were others also helping her to catch the thief. She even said that she will reveal who the thief was. All of this was done to create suspense and attract more viewers. उत्तर प्रदेश मेरठ पुलिस ने यूट्यूबर लाइबा मनताशा और मीनाक्षी सिंह को गिरफ्तार किया। दोनों पर आधी रात में ड्रोन चोरों की अफवाह फैलाने का आरोप है। दोनों को पुलिस ने सम्मन देकर जमानत दे दी है। — Pankaj (@AtWorkAmarUjala) August 6, 2025 Just last week, several people in Meerut were sent to jail for a similar case, spreading fake news about drone sightings. According to a Times of India report, police found 28 misleading posts on social media and registered 15 FIRs. So far, 8 people have been arrested. Meerut SSP, Vipin Tada, shared that the cyber team looked into different platforms like Instagram, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). They found 19 fake posts were on Instagram, 7 on Facebook and 2 on X. The police are still checking these platforms to stop false information and avoid public panic. Tada said, 'These false claims of drone activity triggered panic and unrest in parts of the district. So far, we have arrested eight people and sent them to jail." One of the residents recalled, 'Men from the nearby forested areas tried to barge into our homes at night. We stayed up all night to keep watch. We even called 112, the police came, but did little. The drone sightings are real. Even the officers who came acknowledged it, but no serious action followed." According to reports, most of the FIRs were filed in rural parts of Meerut. These include areas like Partapur, Parikshitgarh, Mundali and Sardhana. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

2 Women, 4 Men, Room 443: Gujarat Man Tips Off Cops To Daughter-In-Law's Illegal Booze Bash
Last Updated: Police said the caller's daughter-in-law had marital issues, and to 'teach her a lesson,' the father-in-law tracked her, found out about the liquor party, and tipped off police On Friendship Day, a shocking case of personal revenge came to light in Surat after police raided a hotel room at the 'Weekend Address' following a tip-off about an illegal liquor party. While Gujarat strictly prohibits alcohol consumption, what caught attention was that the police raid at the hotel was based on a personal tip-off, leading to the bust. The police arrested four men and two women, aged between 23 and 25, for indulging in a liquor party. All six were taken into custody. According to the police, all the accused were found in an inebriated state at the time of the raid. A half-filled liquor bottle and four glasses were seized from the hotel room, which had been rented to celebrate Friendship Day. All six individuals were taken to the civil hospital for blood tests, where the presence of alcohol was confirmed in each of them. According to the police, the caller's daughter-in-law had been facing issues in her marriage and was not on good terms with her husband. In an apparent attempt to 'teach her a lesson," the father-in-law allegedly followed her, learned about the liquor party, and informed the police, leading to the raid and her subsequent arrest. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Gujarat man tips cops about daughter-in-law's booze party with friends, gets them arrested: ‘To teach her lesson'
In a surprising turn of events on August 3, a man in Surat tipped off the police about his daughter-in-law's alleged liquor party with her friends at Weekend Address Hotel in Dumas area, leading to the arrest of six people, including two women. He wanted to teach her a 'lesson'. 'Sir, my daughter-in-law is having a drinking party with her friends.' Bhaskar English quoted father-in-law's message to police as saying. The Dumas police swiftly acted and busted the party. Upon entering Room 443, officers found six people, four men and two women, sitting on the floor amid several alcohol bottles. The strong smell of liquor filled the room, and the group showed clear signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and unsteady posture. The police recovered four glasses, half-bottle liquor bottle from them who had rented hotel room without adherence to police commissioner's notification. The group was allegedly intoxicated. None of the individuals at the party possessed the mandatory permits for alcohol consumption in Gujarat. Police confiscated a partially consumed 750 ml bottle of foreign liquor valued at ₹ 1,500, along with plastic and glass tumblers, and seven smartphones collectively worth Rs.55 lakh, Bhaskar English reported. According to Times Of India, 'We learned that the informer's son is married to one of the women arrested. As the couple had certain disputes, the informer wanted to 'teach the woman a lesson'. He started following her and came to know about the said party. After he got to know about the party, he informed the police.' Assistant Commissioner of police Deep Vakil told police, 'Of 446 rooms in the hotel, many are owned by private individuals who sign a rent agreement and sublet rooms. The person renting the room offers it to others for higher rates. As his contract is over, police will file a separate complaint against the room owner.' All attendees were subjected to medical examinations to confirm alcohol consumption. A case has been registered under various sections of the Gujarat Prohibition Amendment Ordinance (2016), including Sections 66(1)(B), 65(A), 81, and 83(A). Authorities said that further probe continues.
