Bengaluru woman police officer arrested for taking Rs 1.25 lakh bribe to file false report in assault case
A woman sub-inspector of police was arrested by the Karnataka Lokayukta police Monday in Bengaluru while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh to close a report against a man facing charges of assaulting his partner. Savithri Bai, a sub-Inspector posted with the Govindapura station of Bengaluru city, reportedly demanded a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh to file a B report in a case where the complainant, Mohammed Younus, was accused of assault or criminal force against a woman with the intent of outraging her modesty. A B report indicates that the police have found the allegations to be false or lacking sufficient evidence. After Younus lodged a complaint, the Lokayukta police set a trap and caught Bai while she was accepting the bribe. According to the police, Younus was in love with a woman for four years, and was in a live-in relationship with her. They decided to get married; however, the woman found out that Younus was having an affair with another woman. When she confronted Younus, he reportedly assaulted her. The woman filed a complaint against Younus at the K G Halli Police Station, and the case is in the trial stage in court. On May 5, Younus called the woman to HBR Layout to talk about the issue, and demanded that she withdraw the police complaint she had filed against him. When the woman refused to do so, he allegedly assaulted her. She managed to reach the hospital with the help of locals. After she recovered, the woman filed another case against him at the Govindapura Police Station. The police took him into custody, and questioned him. Meantime, Bai reportedly offered Younus that she would file a B report in the court if he paid her a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh. However, Younus filed a complaint before the Lokayukta police against Bai.

Man goes missing after causing car crash that turns his girlfriend paraplegic and burdened with massive medical bill
A Chinese woman was left paralysed after a car crash caused by her boyfriend. Now, the boyfriend has gone missing. The accident happened while 25-year-old Bai was travelling with Zhang's family in Gansu province on April 5. Zhang was driving when he got distracted during a turn. The car hit a truck head-on and another car behind it. Police said Zhang was mainly at fault for driving into the wrong lane. Zhang and his family had only minor injuries. However, Bai suffered serious spinal damage and multiple fractures. Bai is now paraplegic. The couple had planned to get engaged and marry in 2026. At first, Zhang promised to marry her and care for her. He and his family visited her in the hospital and said they would support her. Zhang told her, 'We will get married after you recover.' But, just three months later, Zhang left her. His actions shocked social media, with many calling it heartless and cruel. At first, Zhang and his family helped. When Bai was moved to a rehab hospital, they disappeared. They stopped visiting, stopped talking and gave no more money. 'I asked his mother on WeChat if I could see him. At that time, I had suddenly become paraplegic and was abandoned. I completely broke down,' the South China Morning Post quoted Bai as saying. Bai is now fully dependent on others. She suffers from nerve pain and cannot care for herself. Her first treatment cost around 300,000 yuan (nearly ₹ 36 lakh). Zhang's family gave only one-third. She still needs more surgeries, costing another 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. Her savings are gone. Her parents are poor farmers and cannot help much. Bai is thinking of taking legal action. She says she cannot stop her treatment to wait for the court case. She wants Zhang's side to pay for her medical needs now as she continues to struggle both physically and emotionally. 'The only thing I can do now is demand that the other party pay the medical expenses in advance,' she said. Lawyer Zhang Yonghui said Zhang must pay compensation as he was mainly responsible for the car accident. Even if he disappears, Bai can still take legal action and investigate his assets. Bai's situation has moved many online. One person said he should face criminal charges. Another quoted an old saying: 'When trouble comes, even close ones run away.' 'Let him bear the criminal responsibility,' SCMP quoted a social media user as commenting. 'The old Chinese saying holds true: 'Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways',' posted another.

Chinese woman is disabled in car crash, lover disappears after pledging support
The boyfriend of a Chinese woman has shocked social media by abandoning her just three months after she was made paraplegic in a car accident for which he was primarily responsible. On April 5, the woman, surnamed Bai, 25, was travelling with her boyfriend, surnamed Zhang, and members of his family near a reservoir in Gansu province, northwestern China. Zhang was at the wheel and Bai was the front-seat passenger. Bai was in the front passenger seat when the car she was travelling in veered into the opposite lane. Photo: Douyin Tragedy struck when Zhang reportedly became distracted while making a right turn, causing his car to swerve into the oncoming lane and collide head-on with a truck. His car also hit a smaller vehicle behind the truck. Police later determined that Zhang was primarily responsible because he had violated traffic laws by driving into the opposite lane, while the truck driver bore secondary responsibility. Zhang and his family only suffered minor injuries, but Bai's were catastrophic. She suffered spinal cord damage and multiple fractures, leading to paraplegia.

Justifiable Defense: The First Frost star Bai Jingting returns in new Chinese crime drama
The First Frost star Bai Jingting is back - and this time, he's trading charm for chaos. Known and adored as the swoon-worthy Sang Yan, Bai is making a dramatic return to the screen in Justifiable Defense, a gritty legal thriller that plunges deep into moral grey zones and courtroom battles. Gone is the light-hearted romance of The First Frost; in its place is a shadowy world of past traumas, shocking truths, and justice that comes at a price. It's a stark transformation, but Bai proves once again that he's not just a fan favorite - he's a powerhouse. Bai Jingting's new Chinese drama Justifiable Defense: What is it about? Justifiable Defense explores Article 20 of China's Criminal Law and opens with Duan Hongshan (Zhang Luyi), a veteran prosecutor, investigating a controversial case. Housewife Jiang Ting (Ye Qing) has killed her abusive husband, claiming it was an act of self-defense. As the case gains media attention and public scrutiny, Hongshan teams up with rising prosecutor Fang Lingyuan (Gao Ye) to uncover the full story. Their investigation leads them to a connected case from 14 years ago - a campus incident of excessive self-defense involving Li Mufeng (Bai Jingting), a student who was imprisoned after killing a school bully to protect senior Mei Zheng (Zhang Bojia). The threads between Jiang Ting's present-day trial and Mufeng's past conviction start to intertwine in surprising ways, forcing the prosecutors to reconsider what justice really means. As layers of the past resurface, Justifiable Defense challenges the law's rigidity, asking whether moral righteousness can override legal boundaries. When and where can fans watch Justifiable Defense in India? The drama premiered on July 9, 2025, and concluded with its finale on July 15, 2025. With just 15 tightly packed episodes, the series is now available for streaming on iQIYI in India and globally.
