Auto driver killed by second wife after tiff
1 2 Hyderabad: A 40-year-old auto driver, Kishan Naik, was allegedly killed by his second wife Sirisha at their rented accommodation in Vanasthalipuram in the early hours of Tuesday. For Sirisha too, it was the second marriage. The two were in love, had an intercaste marriage around a decade ago, and have two children, police said. Kishan's first wife died, leaving him with three children, while Sirisha's first husband divorced her. She met Kishan while travelling in his auto rickshaw, got acquainted with him, and later got married. As Naik belongs to the ST community, a case under sections related to murder and provisions under the SC & ST (Prevention of atrocities) Act were also slapped against Sirisha, assistant commissioner of police (ACP), Vanasthalipuram, Kasi Reddy said. Police were also probing the role of Sirisha's parents, who stay nearby, and also her alleged partner in Kishan's murder. According to police, the couple have been staying separately for a year. Recently, after a compromise, they moved to a rented home at Vanasthalipuram. While Kishan visited her once a week from his native place in Yadadri Bhongir district, she stayed with their two children and was working as a security guard at a jewellery store. On Monday evening, Kishan went to her workplace and picked up a quarrel. Later at night also, he quarrelled with her and even assaulted her. In retaliation, she also hit him and pushed him to the wall. As he collapsed, she shifted him to hospital with her parents' help where he was declared dead, a police officer said.

In 2022, Evans Sarbeng left his home country for the first time and landed in the 29-year-old nurse remembers the instant chill when he stepped off the plane in Manchester, after being used to 30C temperatures in in three or four cardigans, Evans headed straight for the coast to start work at Saint Cecilia's nursing home in is one of 45 overseas workers at the home, who obtained a skilled worker visa to address the huge staff shortage in social care. Mike Padgham, managing director at Saint Cecilia's Care Group, says overseas workers like Evans are a "lifeline" when it comes to running a nursing home, making up 20% of the workforce."There's about 131,000 social care vacancies in England and without our overseas staff, we couldn't continue," he says."They bring vibrancy, good practice, work well with the residents and are paid exactly the same as local staff." Saint Cecilia's posted online advertisements offering to help provide accommodation and contribute towards the cost of travel to the opportunity caught the eye of Evans in September 2022 and after a video interview, he arrived two months later."My first time travelling out of my country was coming to the UK," Evans says. "I've enjoyed being here, especially North Yorkshire where I've spent almost two-and-a-half years."He credits the friendly people and work environment for his smooth transition."The work is good, nursing is a universal programme," Evans adds."There's a few bits that are different from what I used to know, with a couple of different policies and practices, but it is generally the same." Immigration explained: Migrants, refugees, and visas defined Apart from adjusting to the cold weather, Evans discovered a whole new cuisine, including the delicacy of a Yorkshire pudding wrap."I've tried a couple of English dishes. I do better than my friends because they are still used to eating Ghanaian food," he says."Fish and chips were the first thing I ever tried."I didn't know there was something like fish and chips until I came to the UK but I would say it's good!"Evans is living in Scarborough with his wife and has joined a football does not currently have long-term plans but adds he will stay in Yorkshire as long as it continues to treat him well.

"We have a lot of care homes and nursing homes in India, where we are heavily populated but here, there is a lack of staff."I decided to move so I can help fulfil the need for nurses."The opportunity is also welcome for her two sons, aged eight and 16, who are thriving at the local the nature and food Scarborough has to offer, Sirisha considers the cost of living the biggest challenge."It is very difficult to maintain the family, the rent has gone up and it's difficult to balance," she adds."Council tax and groceries have gone up, everything is very expensive."Saint Cecilia's chief Mike says one of the downsides of overseas work is carers could no longer bring loved ones with them after a government policy change in March 2024, although nurses still could. "A study estimates we will need 540,000 more social care staff by 2040 to cope with rising demand," he says."How will we fill those posts without attracting overseas staff?"
