The man alleged that his "in-laws were not allowing their daughter to stay with him at their house at night."

He claimed that the woman used to ask for money for her parents and he gave lakhs to support them, adding that one day he was called to Siliguri by his in-laws to take the daughter to the doctor and upon her return she "disappeared". 

Meanwhile, the woman's mother denied all the allegations and claimed that they were not married but got engaged and on December 6

The man said he gave a plot of land and over Rs 30 lakh to his in-laws and alleged that they helped their daughter flee with the money. He alleged that the woman cheated another man nine months ago in West Bengal's Kanki.

The police have filed a case based on Mr Gupta's complaint. The woman's photo with another man wearing garlands has gone viral and Mr Gupta and his family the other man's house, which led to a ruckus and the police were called at Ganga Babu Chowk in the city.

Rohit's Million-Dollar Reply When Asked About Siraj vs Head Altercation

Team India might have suffered a 10-wicket defeat against Australia in the Adelaide Test but Mohammed Siraj's personal duels with Travis Head in the match enthralled everyone. Siraj did court criticism for his send-off to Head after dismissing him on Day 2 of the Adelaide Test but the pacer justified his actions ahead of the start of play on Day 3. When Rohit Sharma addressed media after the conclusion of the match, questions with regards to the incident were bound to crop up in the press conference.

Rohit, having worked with Siraj for years, backed the pacer to keep working with the same attitude, suggesting getting into such battles has given him success and he should continue to do so.

"Yeah, he likes to get into the battle. It gives him success. As the captain, it's my job to back that aggression. Obviously, there's a fine line-we don't want to cross anything that disrespects the game. But having a word or two with the opposition is not a bad thing. He likes it, and it gets him going. In the past, we've seen many cricketers thrive in such battles, and Siraj is definitely one of them," Rohit said in the press conference.

Rohit feels personal duels in the game are bound to happen when two teams of such magnitude face off against each other. But, lines shouldn't be crossed.

"That said, there's a thin line between being aggressive and crossing the limit. As captain, it's my responsibility to ensure we don't cross that line. A word or two here and there doesn't make a huge difference," he added.

"Our players are used to performing in big crowds. When things go well, they support; when things don't, they don't, that happens everywhere. Siraj knows what he needs to do for the team. His job is to take wickets, and he will do everything required to achieve that. External factors don't matter to him. The team is mature enough to keep such distractions out and focus on the game," Rohit further added.

Head claimed to have said "well bowled" to Siraj after the India pacer clean bowled him on Day 2 of the second Test. But, Siraj countered his claims, saying no such comment was made by the Australia batter. Instead, Siraj claimed that Head abused him during the altercation on the field.

Egged On By 'YouTube Tantriks', 3 Men Behead Acquaintance To Get His Skull

In a bizarre and grisly tale of murder, a man was killed and his skull was used for alleged occult practices by four men in the hope of getting crores of rupees on the instructions of two "tantriks", who learnt "black magic from YouTube".

The horror started to unfold when the Ghaziabad Police found a headless body of a man in the Tila Mod area of the city on June 22. He was later identified as Raju Kumar from Motihari in Bihar who used to do odd jobs in the city. After weeks of investigation, the police arrested two men - Dhananjay and Vikas - on August 15. Their interrogation led them to their roommate and an acquaintance of the victim - Vikas alias Parmatma - who allegedly planned the murder.

During interrogation, the accused told police that an aide of Parmatma, Narendra, came in contact with Pawan and Pankaj, who claimed to be 'tantriks'. They allegedly told him that he could get around "Rs 50 crore" if he could arrange and worship a human skull, police said. Narendra spoke to Parmatma who, along with Dhananjay and Vikas, called Kumar to their house and killed him by slitting his throat, the investigation revealed.

They then beheaded him and gave the skull to Narendra who handed it over to Pawan and Pankaj, and dumped the body in the Tila Mod area, said Nimish Patil, deputy commissioner of police, Ghaziabad. Parmatma, Narendra and the two 'tantriks' were arrested today.

Pawan and Pankaj told police that they "watched YouTube videos to learn black magic".

"I saw in the videos that black magic can get one a lot of money," Pawan told reporters.

The accused also revealed that they disposed of the skull in a drain near the Majlis Park metro station in Delhi as they got scared after learning that the police were investigating the case.

Who Is Your Successor, Mamata Banerjee Was Asked. Her Reply

Amidst the ongoing internal struggle within the TMC between veteran leaders and the younger faction, West Bengal Chief Minister and party chief Mamata Banerjee on Friday said any decision regarding her successor would be made collectively by the party leadership rather than by her personally.

In an exclusive interview with a Bengali news channel News 18 Bangla, Ms Banerjee dismissed notions of individual dominance, asserting, "I am not the party; we are the party. It is a collective family, and decisions will be made collectively."

Asked about her potential successor, Ms Banerjee deflected the question with a counter-query, "Who is your successor?" She went on to clarify that TMC is a disciplined party where no individual will dictate terms. "The party will decide what is best for the people. We have MLAs, MPs, booth workers, this is a joint effort," she said.

On the ongoing debate about prioritising the younger generation or experienced leaders, Ms Banerjee maintained a balanced approach, stating, "Everyone is important. Today's newcomer will be tomorrow's veteran."

While TMC has not officially declared any succession plans, Ms Banerjee's remark comes amidst an ongoing debate over the old guards, considered loyal to Mamata Banerjee, versus the next-generation leaders, considered close to Abhishek Banerjee.

Abhishek Banerjee is TMC's national general secretary and nephew of Mamata Banerjee.

Ms Banerjee did not mince words when addressing the role of political consultants, taking an indirect jibe at I-PAC, which has been working as TMC's political consultant since 2019.

"Some strategists make surveys sitting at home and change them later. They can arrange things but not bring voters. It's the booth workers who know the villages and people who actually win elections," she remarked, adding, "They are like artisans who do their work in exchange for money. But elections aren't won by them."
