A shocking tragedy unfolded in Kolkata when a high-speed car crash on the EM Bypass led police to a gruesome discovery—a home in Tangra where three women were found dead under mysterious circumstances. What initially appeared to be a routine accident has now turned into a complex murder-suicide investigation, with financial distress, cryptic last actions, and an apparent suicide pact emerging as key factors. Car Crash Leads to Startling Confession The chain of events began at 3:35 a.m. on Wednesday when a speeding sedan, carrying Prasun Dey (48), his younger brother Pranay Dey (44), and Pranay’s teenage son Pratip (14), crashed into a pillar near the Avishikta crossing at nearly 100 kmph. Miraculously, all three survived and were rushed to the hospital. However, hours later, while lying in his hospital bed, Pranay made a shocking revelation—three family members were dead inside their home in Tangra. A House of Death: Bloodstains, Slashed Wrists, and Poisoning Suspicions When police broke open the Dey residence’s main door, they discovered a horrifying scene. The three women—Sudeshna (Pranay’s wife), Romi (his sister-in-law), and Priyamvada (his 14-year-old niece)—were found in separate rooms with bloodstains scattered across multiple areas. The autopsy revealed grim details—Sudeshna and Romi had their throats slit and wrists slashed, while Priyamvada showed signs of poisoning, with bruises on her lips and near her nose, and froth at her mouth. However, forensic experts found no traces of toxins in the bodies, deepening the mystery surrounding their deaths. Suicide Pact or Foul Play? The Missing Pieces Joint CP (Crime & Traffic) Rupesh Kumar stated that Pranay confessed to a suicide pact. According to him, the family had laced payesh (a traditional Bengali dessert) with sedatives, intending to die together. Some family members also inflicted self-harm. However, while the women perished, the three men instead got into the car—potentially aiming for a fatal crash. Despite Pranay’s confession, investigators are not ruling out foul play. A murder complaint was filed by Romi’s father against unknown persons, raising further suspicion. The crime scene yielded only one penknife, but experts suspect that blunt force injuries might also be involved. A forensic team, homicide squad, and mobile DNA unit have been deployed to analyze the evidence. Financial Woes and Cryptic Final Hours Investigators suspect that financial struggles may have pushed the Dey family over the edge. Once affluent, their leather goods manufacturing and export business had suffered massive losses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their factory, Protective Leather Gloves Pvt Ltd, had seen dwindling manpower, and the owners had grown visibly anxious in recent months. A day before the tragedy, unusual visitors—described as “well-built men”—were seen loitering outside their factory, possibly debt collectors or creditors. That same evening, a business partner, Manoj Gupta, visited their home but received no response. CCTV footage later showed the Dey brothers leaving their house around 12:54 a.m., appearing visibly distressed. Murder or Desperate Escape? Police Probe ‘What-Ifs’ While Pranay’s claim of a suicide pact offers one explanation, the police are exploring alternative possibilities. What happened in the critical hours between the family consuming the drugged dessert and the car crash? Were all members willing participants in the pact, or did someone force them into it? Neighbors say the Deys rarely quarreled, but CCTV footage of Pranay appearing unsteady before leaving the house suggests he was under extreme stress. Once a prominent family in Kolkata’s business circles, the Deys owned multiple cars and a four-storey home. Yet, behind the walls of their Tangra residence, a devastating secret was festering. Whether this was a meticulously planned group suicide or a desperate attempt to cover up a murder remains to be seen as police continue their investigation.

AAP leader and former Delhi minister Atishi has accused the BJP of breaking its election promises, claiming the party has “made up its mind to cheat the people of Delhi.” In a self-recorded video, she criticized the BJP for failing to pass the much-publicized scheme that promised ₹2,500 per month to women in the national capital. Atishi pointed out that the BJP had assured voters that the scheme would be approved in its first cabinet meeting. However, despite Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her ministers taking the oath and convening their first cabinet meeting at 7 p.m., the scheme was not passed. “All the women of Delhi were expecting that scheme to be passed… The first day itself, BJP started breaking their promises,” she said. Delhi Cabinet’s First Decisions Meanwhile, newly appointed Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta chaired her first cabinet meeting and made key announcements, including the implementation of the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme with an additional ₹5 lakh top-up. She also pledged to present 14 pending CAG reports in the first sitting of the Assembly, a move that targets the previous AAP government for alleged delays in accountability. During a press conference, Ms. Gupta reiterated that her government would follow its own agenda and not be dictated by the opposition. When questioned about Atishi’s remarks on the ₹2,500 scheme, she firmly responded, “It’s our government; the agenda will be ours. Let us work. She doesn’t need to tell us everything; she has done what she had to while in power.” The BJP government’s decision to prioritize Ayushman Bharat and CAG reports over the promised women’s financial assistance scheme has sparked a political controversy, setting the stage for further confrontations between the ruling party and the opposition in Delhi.

The young starlet recently took social media by storm after being spotted on a dinner date with his mother during Valentine’s weekend.

One user commented, “He looks like his mother, so NO,” while another Govinda fan declared, “He looks like his father only!!” Others called him a “perfect blend” of both his parents.

The Supreme Court of India has ordered a temporary halt on all episodes of India’s Got Latent, barring Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps), Samay Raina, and Apoorva Makhija (The Rebel Kid) from airing any further content until further notice. The ruling came during a hearing on Allahbadia’s plea to club multiple FIRs filed against him in Maharashtra and Assam over his controversial remark about ‘parental sex’ on Samay Raina’s YouTube show. All Episodes Pulled Down Following the SC order, all episodes of the show, including members-only content, have been removed from YouTube. Unreleased Episode Featuring Farah Khan, Uorfi Javed, Tanmay Bhat & KRSNA Leaks Amid the controversy, a clip from an unreleased episode has surfaced online, featuring: In the viral clip, Samay Raina greets the panelists, shaking hands with Tanmay, KRSNA, and Uorfi. However, as a mark of respect, he dives to touch Farah Khan’s feet, prompting her playful reaction—pretending to slap him in jest. Another viral image shows the panelists seated while Samay engages animatedly with the audience. Uorfi Javed’s Past Controversy on the Show This isn’t the first time the show has stirred controversy. Back in December 2024, Uorfi Javed walked out midway after facing derogatory remarks from contestants. Addressing the incident, Uorfi took to Instagram, writing:“I think I missed the memo; nowadays people think it’s cool to abuse or slut-shame someone for views… The guy who abused me wasn’t even joking. He got mad when I called out his fake disability!” SC Directs Allahbadia to Cooperate with Investigation A Supreme Court bench has directed Ranveer Allahbadia to cooperate in the FIR investigations in Maharashtra and Assam. Further legal proceedings are awaited.

Comedian Samay Raina addressed the Ranveer Allahbadia controversy during his latest live show at the Myer Horowitz Theater in Edmonton, Canada. A fan, Shubham Dutta, who attended the performance, shared his experience in an emotional Facebook post titled “The Show Must Go On…”. Samay Raina’s Emotional Start According to Dutta’s post, Raina appeared visibly exhausted as he took the stage, dressed in a dusty black hoodie. His first words into the mic? “Thanks for paying my lawyer’s fees.” The statement hinted at the legal and mental strain he has been under following the controversy. Raina’s Sarcastic Dig at Ranveer Allahbadia During the show, a heckler threw a sarcastic remark at Raina, prompting a sharp comeback in his signature style. “Iss show pe bahot mauka ayega, jahan aapko lag sakta hai ki main bahot funny kuch bol sakta hoon, par tab BeerBiceps ko yaad kar lena bhai.”(“There will be many moments in this show where you might think I could say something very funny, but remember BeerBiceps during such times.”) The remark was a clear reference to Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps), who was at the center of the controversy. What Is the Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy? The controversy stems from Allahbadia’s inappropriate question on the show India’s Got Latent, which was hosted by Samay Raina. As a judge, Allahbadia asked a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join them once to stop it?” The statement sparked massive backlash online, with many criticizing both Allahbadia and the show. Samay Raina’s Poignant Closing Words Despite being in the middle of a turbulent phase, Raina managed to keep the audience entertained for nearly two hours. As he wrapped up the show, he left the audience with a profound message: “Shayad samay kharab chal raha hai mera, par yaad rakhna doston, main samay hoon.”(“Maybe my time is bad right now, but remember, my friends—I am time itself.”) This closing line, blending wordplay and resilience, reflects Raina’s determination to move forward despite the challenges.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sought assistance from India’s law ministry in its investigation into billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani over allegations of paying over $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials between 2020 and 2024 to secure solar-energy contracts. The SEC informed a New York district court that it is working to serve its complaint to the Adanis under the Hague Service Convention. The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has also opened a criminal investigation, alleging that Adani Green Energy Ltd raised $2 billion from investors using false claims about its anti-corruption efforts. Federal prosecutors indicted eight individuals in November 2024 in connection with the bribery scheme, while the SEC is investigating whether Adani Green violated US securities laws by failing to disclose the probe when raising funds from American investors. The Adani Group has denied the allegations, calling them “baseless” and reaffirming its commitment to legal compliance and governance.
