Dad, bro arrested for killing Gurgaon e-com exec over live-in relationship
1 2 Agra: Days after a woman's charred body was found in a forest in Muzaffarnagar, police have arrested her father and brother for allegedly strangling her and setting her body on fire. Saraswati Maliyan, 23, who worked with an e-commerce MNC in Gurgaon, handling orders and last-mile delivery, had been in a live-in relationship with Amit, a man from her village. Police said her father, Rajveer Singh, 55, and brother, Sumit Singh, 24, a truck driver, confessed to killing her when she visited home as they were opposed to the relationship. Saraswati, police said, had been forced into marriage in 2019 but left her husband after two years. "Another marriage was arranged by her family in 2022 but that didn't wotk out either. She later began living with a man called Amit in Gurgaon, where both started working with the e-com firm that same year. Despite pressure from her family, she continued the relationship and returned to her village in Muzaffarnagar on May 10 to persuade her parents to accept it. Amit told us he last heard from her on May 26, when she said it would be her final attempt to convince them," an officer investigating the case said. The officer added that the murder was carried out on the night of May 29–30. Rajveer and Sumit allegedly strangled Saraswati inside their home, while a third accused, Gurdayal Singh, a friend of Sumit's, held her legs. The trio then carried her body about 5km into a forest near a canal, poured petrol on it and set it ablaze. Two days later, the family filed a missing person's report to mislead the police. The investigation shifted course when a half-burnt body was found in a forest in Kakrauli police station area on June 3. Initial identification was difficult due to the state of the body. "However, SHO Joginder Singh and constable Lalit Moral noticed bangles on the woman's wrist and matched them with a post on a social media platform. The jewellery helped us confirm her identity," Muzaffarnagar SSP Sanjay Kumar Verma said. Verma added, "Rajveer admitted to killing his daughter out of anger over her relationship. The third accused, Gurdayal Singh, is absconding and we are conducting raids to arrest him." A case has been filed under BNS sections 103 (murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false information to screen offender). Legal proceedings are under way. The efforts of the SHO and the constable have been recognised with a cash reward.

'Derogatory' Remarks Against Amaravati: Journalist Who Hosted Show Arrested
Amaravati: Senior Telugu journalist Kommineni Srinivas Rao was arrested in Hyderabad on Monday for hosting a programme on a vernacular channel where a scribe allegedly made derogatory remarks against the greenfield capital city Amaravati, said a police official. Guntur district Superintendent of Police S Satish confirmed that Thullur police from Amaravati have arrested the journalist. "Thullur police have arrested Kommineni Srinivas Rao from Hyderabad over the derogatory remarks against Amaravati," Satish told PTI, adding that the journalist is being brought to Andhra Pradesh from Telangana. VVR Krishna Raju, the journalist, who was also part of the programme, was accused of spewing venom against Amaravati and its women. According to information shared by a source close to the TDP-led NDA government, the duo were booked under BNS Sections 79, 196 (1), 353 (2), 299, 356 (2) and 61 (1) and Section 67 of the IT Act, including Section (1) of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. Meanwhile, YSRCP said that an FIR was registered against Rao four days ago in Thullur police station, accusing him of "failing to intervene during the broadcast", which featured those alleged vitriolic remarks. "Immediately after his arrest, Rao was transferred to Vijayawada. Rao, a senior citizen, questioned the legality of the arrest without explanation," said a note from the YSRCP. Condemning the arrest, YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, called it a "political vendetta". "In any discussion, diverse opinions are natural. Punishing an anchor for guests' statements is not only unjust, it's dangerous," Reddy said in a post on 'X'. The former chief minister questioned the rationale behind punishing a moderator for remarks made by panelists during a televised debate, warning such actions endanger democratic discourse and press freedom. He accused the TDP-led NDA government of suppressing dissent, using fear and intimidation tactics to silence intellectuals, journalists, and opposition voices across the southern state. He alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was "weaponising the state apparatus" to divert public attention from failures, corruption, and broken electoral promises. "You (Naidu) were given five years-one has already passed. The day will come when the people will demand answers for your abuses and injustices," Reddy warned.
