Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah terms SC decision to reject ED appeal in MUDA case historic, slams BJP
BENGALURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated that the Supreme Court's historic order rejecting the Enforcement Directorate's appeal to investigate his wife Parvati in MUDA sites allotment case is a slap on the face to the Central Government's vendetta politics. "This verdict has not only exposed the malice behind the case but has also unequivocally cleared our names of all the baseless allegations," the CM stated, taking to social media platform X. "Welcoming the court decision, the CM stated that throughout his long political career, he has always bowed before the Constitution and the rule of law," he said. "This verdict upholds and protects that very belief,'' he also stated. Slamming the BJP and Union government, the CM alleged that, unable to defeat him politically, the BJP and its allies stooped to misusing constitutional agencies like the CBI and ED to fabricate baseless cases against his wife and harass his family. "This is not just an abuse of power but also a disgraceful and cowardly act. The mental agony we have been subjected to will forever remain a painful chapter in our lives,'' he added. The CM's legal advisor and Congress MLA Ponnanna said they had stated that this was politically motivated, and the Supreme Court too said the same. "This applies to the entire nation. The MUDA sites were given when there was a BJP government in the State. They should not talk about it if they have any moral conscience,' he said.

Banter with husband turns fatal as woman (22) falls from terrace in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: A 22-year-old woman died after falling from the terrace of her fourth-floor apartment in DLF-3 while sharing what was meant to be a light-hearted moment with her husband. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Parvati and Duryodhan, who had moved to the NCR city from Odisha two years ago in search of better opportunities, were enjoying the pleasant weather on their terrace around 10.30pm on July 15. What began as innocent banter turned tragic when Parvati climbed onto the parapet and playfully asked her husband, "If I fall, will you save me?" As she attempted to step down, Parvati lost her footing and began to slip. Duryodhan (28) lunged forward and managed to grab her hand, holding on to her desperately as she dangled from the edge. For nearly two minutes, he called out for help, but with no one around, his grip eventually gave way. And Parvati fell to the ground below. Despite Duryodhan's frantic calls for help and the swift arrival of a police team along with an ambulance, Parvati succumbed to her injuries within half an hour of being wheeled into a private hospital. She had suffered severe internal damage. Cops at DLF-3 police station said they had initiated an inquiry into the "tragic incident". "No, there were no signs of foul play. Marks on the husband's hands and chest support his statement that he tried to save his wife. He broke down saying he lost everything when we questioned him about the sequence of events," an officer said. The couple, who had been married for around two and a half years, worked at a private firm in the city and had been building a new life together. It was around 10pm that they had gone to the terrace of their rented apartment to escape the heat when the incident occurred. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After an autopsy, Parvati's body was handed over to her family. Devastated by the loss, Duryodhan posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram on Saturday, pleading for his wife to return. "You are my life, you are everything to me. Please come back. I'm waiting to hear your voice, feel your presence, your touch."
