Man kills elderly couple over unpaid wages of 300 in Amreli village
Rajkot: A pending amount of a paltry Rs 300 allegedly sparked a brutal double murder in Dhundhiya Pipalya village of Amreli district, where an elderly couple was killed during a robbery on the night of July 17-18. According to police, 25-year-old Ramji alias Balo Solanki — who had previously worked on the farm of 85-year-old Chakur Rakholiya — was enraged over the unpaid wages. The unresolved dues reportedly drove him to hatch a robbery plan along with three others, which ended in the killing of Rakholiya and his 80-year-old wife, Kunwar. The assailants allegedly broke into the couple's home around midnight while they were asleep in the veranda and assaulted them with sharp weapons. The attackers fled with Rs 2 lakh in cash. Based on a complaint filed by the couple's son, Harsukh Rakholiya, Vadiya police launched a multi-agency probe under the supervision of Amreli superintendent of police Sanjay Kharat. The local crime branch arrested four suspects — Ramji, his younger brother Ashish alias Bavo Solanki (22), Anil alias Anko Solanki (25), and Mithu alias Ramsing Muha (45). All four reportedly confessed to the crime during interrogation, police said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Deputy superintendent of police Chirag Desai told TOI that more than 50 officers from various units, including the Special Operations Group (SOG) and Amreli city police, were deployed in the investigation.

Madame Tussauds unveils 13 new Taylor Swift figures for UK and abroad
Madame Tussauds has unveiled 13 new Taylor Swift figures that will go on display in the UK and abroad. The wax doubles, which will be exhibited across four different continents, draw inspiration from Swift's juggernaut Eras Tour, which visited Dublin for three nights last summer, and came to an end in December 2024. Details of the figures, each of them a nod to one of Swift's albums, were revealed on Wednesday. The figures will appear in the Amsterdam, Berlin, Blackpool, Budapest, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, Nashville, New York, Orlando and Sydney attractions, with a touring figure kicking off its residency in Shanghai. Among the wax works included in the project is a figure that takes inspiration from Swift's Wembley Stadium performances in June 2024, which saw her wear an orange Versace leotard embellished with pink and purple detailing while performing songs from her 2019 album Lover. The replica, which will be displayed in London, is finished with matching, crystallised ombre, Christian Louboutin boots. Blackpool's figure is a recreation of the Ashish red-to-black, ombre, embellished playsuit that Swift wore on tour as part of her Red era and there is also a Speak Now -inspired double that wears a lilac Nicole And Felicia embellished ballgown featuring an ombre, tiered, tulle skirt. Finished with a complementary blue to purple detailed microphone, this look, inspired by Swift's 2010 album Speak Now, will go on display at the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. Taking centre stage in Las Vegas is a gold-fringed look that pays tribute to her Fearless era. The Roberto Cavalli mini-dress, worn throughout the Eras Tour, has been recreated by the designer for this new figure and is accompanied by crystallized Christian Louboutin knee-high boots, donated by the fashion house, and a matching gold-to-black glittered microphone. Elsewhere, Nashville's figure takes inspiration from her Eras Tour performance in the city in a replica of Etro's floor-length, mustard-coloured dress, which she performed in while singing songs from her 2020 album Evermore. Over in Orlando, Swift is dressed in a black, sequined, Roberto Cavalli catsuit with red snake embellishment detail and matching boots - an outfit she wore on tour while performing songs from 2017's Reputation. The Swift figure in New York wears a multi-coloured tinsel jacket and midnight blue Zuhair Murad embellished playsuit with fringe detailing in a nod to her 2022 album Midnights. Madame Tussauds said this it its "biggest figure launch to date" after it unveiled eight Lady Gaga figures in 2010 and seven Harry Styles figures in 2023. Laura Sheard, global brand director at Madame Tussauds, said: "The phenomenal success of her record-smashing tour is the perfect moment for Madame Tussauds to immortalise (her) with 13 figures - Taylor's lucky number - across four continents to ensure we're reaching as many fans as possible. "We just know they are going to love it as much as we do. Danielle Cullen, Madame Tussauds' senior figure stylist, said: "This is the most ambitious project in Madame Tussauds' 250-year history which only feels right to reflect the stratospheric status of Taylor Swift. "We're honoured to have worked closely with fashion houses like Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Christian Louboutin, Alberta Ferretti and Etro to recreate some of the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour's most iconic looks – many of which will have special significance to the cities the 13 new figures will call home. "It feels a fitting celebration to give Swifties the chance to commemorate moments from this once-in-a-generation tour in a way that only Madame Tussauds can." Swift, 35, wrapped up her billion-dollar, record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024 having started the mammoth string of dates in March 2023.
