What's the story

A 35-year-old man, Rama Shankar, brutally murdered his 31-year-old sister-in-law, Kalawati, by chopping off her head and hands in Delhi's Rohini.

He allegedly didn't like her "liberal outlook towards life," which was hurting the family's honor.

Shankar even surrendered before the police, saying he did the right thing.

Kalawati's family comprised of her husband, three daughters, and a son.

Criminalizing marital rape would become tool for harassing husbands: Centre

The Centre told Delhi HC criminalizing marital rape "may destabilize the institution of marriage," becoming a husband harassing tool.

It was responding to petitions by NGO RIT Foundation, All India Democratic Women's Association, and a marital rape victim.

They challenged an exception to IPC Section-375 (deals with sexual intercourse with wife aged over 15 years) and Section-376B (intercourse with wife during separation) as unconstitutional.

Kherki: Operator approaches govt for loss compensation due to toll-exemption

The toll plaza at Gurgaon's Kherki Daula is likely to be relocated to Sehrawan, Panchgaon.

Millennium City Expressway Limited (MCEPL), a major stakeholder of Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, asked Haryana Government to compensate for its loss due to toll-exemption to the residents of 31 villages around Kherki, which amounts to Rs. 100cr monthly.

MCEPL said relocating to Sehrawan, a low revenue potential location, would double the losses.
