@aaryanbansal_ @sone_do_mujhe I think many are confusing 492A cases with actual dowry deaths. These are murder cases. Imagine if a judge kept releasing people in all murder cases on bail, with or without thinking about the investigation at all.

Last month, an Allahabad HC judge Justice Pankaj Bhatia got severely criticized by the SC for granting bail in a dowry death case. The SC described his order in favor of the accused as “shocking and disappointing.” After the SC’s remarks, Justice Bhatia asked to be removed from hearing dowry death cases. Now, an @IndianExpress investigation reveals that between Oct–Dec 2025, he heard *510 dowry death bail pleas and granted bail in 508 — nearly all*, with many orders similar in structure and wording. indianexpress.com/article/expres…

the real problem with reality i think is lack of background music.

My brother is a scientist & regularly publishes papers. He has a nemesis on the other side of the world who doggedly publishes objections to his analyses. Few of us get to achieve this kind of professional beef in the 21st century & I find this enviable

For decades, David and Victoria Beckham have built a tightly managed ecosystem around their surname, cultivating it as a brand identity. Brooklyn’s public break highlights an old tension in celebrity families, writes @AmaalSheikh5. indianexpress.com/article/explai…

Andhra Pradesh’s Polavaram Irrigation Project aims to transform its drought-prone Rayalaseema region into fertile land by transferring water from the Godavari and creating a reservoir. Telangana has objected to it. @AmaalSheikh5 explains: indianexpress.com/article/explai…
