A big argument happened in Nepal when some photos of Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, were shown at a rally that celebrated the former king, Gyanendra Shah. This rally took place at Tribhuvan International Airport when Gyanendra arrived from Pokhara after visiting places of worship. Many supporters, including leaders from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), came together to show they want the monarchy back.

Some of Gyanendra’s supporters rode motorbikes with his pictures and flags, and a few had pictures of Adityanath too, which caused some people to get upset. In response to the negative feelings, RPP spokesperson Gyanendra Shahi accused Prime Minister K P Oli’s government of trying to ruin the pro-monarchy movement. Shahi claimed the government put someone at the rally to stir up trouble.

However, Bishnu Rimal, who is an advisor to Prime Minister Oli, denied these accusations. On social media, Shahi said, “This is just a trick made by people who don’t deserve their positions.”

Prime Minister Oli did not mention Adityanath by name but said, “We don’t use pictures of foreign leaders in our rallies” during a program in Kathmandu. Earlier this year, Gyanendra had met Adityanath during a trip to Uttar Pradesh.

Supporters of Gyanendra have been holding rallies in different parts of the country, including Kathmandu and Pokhara, asking to bring back the monarchy, which was ended in 2008 after the People’s Movement. Pro-monarchists have gained more energy since February, when Gyanendra said, “It’s time for us to take responsibility to protect our country and unite our people.”

Jammu and Kashmir’s Grand Mufti, Nasir-ur-Islam, has strongly criticized a fashion show held in Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramadan. He called it a “cultural invasion” because it featured models in skiwear walking in a way that many found inappropriate. The mufti said, “This is not acceptable. It goes against our traditions and religious values. The government must take legal action against those responsible.”

The fashion show upset many people, including religious leaders and politicians. Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has ordered an investigation into the event. After the backlash, the designers, Shivan & Narresh, apologized for any hurt caused by their show, saying their intention was to celebrate creativity and skiing culture. They said in a statement, “We respect all cultures and traditions and we are sorry for any discomfort we unintentionally caused.”

Kashmir’s chief priest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, also called the show “outrageous” on social media. Abdullah agreed, saying the fashion show showed no respect for local feelings, especially during the holy month. He assured that his office is looking into it, and appropriate actions will follow.

Abdullah pointed out that it was a private event that did not have government approval. He emphasized that the organizers did not consider the local feelings or the timing of the event. He said that if laws were broken, the police would investigate further.

New Delhi: Delhi Police have caught a man who had been hiding for nine years after he allegedly killed his wife in Ranhola, Delhi. The suspect, Sunil Kumar, had a reward of ₹25,000 for information leading to his arrest. He was found in Sheikhupura, Bihar, following a long search, officials said.

The murder happened on October 18, 2016, when a woman’s body was discovered in a plastic bag inside a locked room. The owner of the building noticed a bad smell and called the police. After investigating, police identified Sunil as the main suspect.

Sunil had vanished after the crime with his four-year-old daughter. The Crime Branch of Delhi Police began another investigation into the case. They revisited the crime scene, talked to witnesses, and gathered more information to track him down.

Finally, he was arrested in Bihar and brought back to Delhi for legal action. During questioning, Sunil admitted to the murder. He explained that he and his wife had been fighting a lot, and one day he got very angry and slit her throat. He then tried to hide her body and ran away with his daughter in fear.

To avoid being captured, Sunil changed where he stayed often, didn’t use cellphones, and took different jobs in places like Delhi, Faridabad, and Patna.
