Moradabad: A young woman was brutally murdered by her husband who suspected that she was planning to kill him.
The 35-year-old accused, Nanhe Khan, a mason, repeatedly stabbed her in the neck with a sharp knife and later dumped the body in a septic tank.
The incident, which took place in the Civil Lines area of Moradabad, came to light when the neighbours saw Nanhe leaving home at midnight in blood-stained clothes and informed the police.
SSP Hemraj Meena said, “We have arrested the accused and booked him for murder. He is being interrogated.”
The body has been recovered from the septic tank and sent for post mortem.
The accused had divorced his first wife, Nazneen, and married the victim, Reshma, in 2021.
They were living in a rented house with Reshma’s three-year-old son, born from her first marriage.
The couple had differences over some domestic issues, said police.
New Delhi: Shocked and appalled by the boorish behaviour by the Delhi Police towards protesting wrestlers late Thursday evening, an emotionally distraught Vinesh Phogat said they were not criminals and did not deserve such disrespect.
The wrestlers are sitting on protest from April 23, demanding arrest of WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh alleging that he has sexually harassed seven female grapplers, including one minor.
Around 11 pm, a scuffle broke out at Jantar Mantar between the protesting wrestlers when they were bringing in folding beds for their night stay and the on-duty police personnel allegedly began enquiring about that.
According to the wrestlers, the police officers started behaving badly with them and even abused the women wrestlers.
“If you want to kill us, then kill us,” a crying Vinesh said during a late night media interaction.
“Did we win medals for the country to see this day? We have not even eaten our food. Does every man have a right to abuse women? These police men are holding guns, they can kill us,” an emotionally drained Vinesh said.

“Where were female police officers? How can the male officers push us like that. We are not criminals. We do not deserve such treatment. The police officer who was drunk hit my brother,” the World Championship medallist said.
Bajrang Punia exhorted the farmers and the general public to reach Jantar Mantar in their support.
“I request everyone to reach Delhi by morning. This is the time. If not now, then when. This is question of dignity of our daughters. People like Brij Bhushan (WFI President) are roaming free despite being a criminal and all this is happening to us,” Bajrang said.
Asked to give more details, Bajrang said, “CCTV cameras must be here. Foortage will make it clear.”
Asked specifically if AAP leader Somnath Bharti had brought the folding beds, as being claimed by the Delhi Police, Bajrang said,”CCTV footagecan show he was not there when it happened. We had ordered the beds, we were bringing the beds inside.”

Damascus: Israeli missiles hit the international airport and several military sites in the Syrian province of Aleppo, killing one soldier and injuring seven others, the army said in a statement on Tuesday.
The attack was carried out just before midnight, hitting the airport and a number of military positions in the countryside of Aleppo, it said, adding that two civilians were among the wounded, reports Xinhua news agency.
The international airport of Aleppo as well as that of the capital Damascus had been attacked earlier by Israel and went out of service for days.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a number of explosions in the area of the Aleppo international airport and the al-Nayrab air base.
The Britain-based watchdog stopped short of giving more details but said the attack is the 16th of its kind since the beginning of 2023.
In March, Israel struck Aleppo’s airport on two different occasions and put it out of commission for several days.

Cairo: A horrific crime shook the Egyptian street on Friday, as a mother killed her 5-year-old son, then cooked his corpse and ate parts of his head, local media reported.
A woman identified as 29-year-old Hanaa, separated from her husband for about 3 years, had been living alone with her son in her own house in the village belonging to the Faqous Center in Sharkia Governorate.
According to Egyptian Daily Cairo 24, Hanaa was arrested by the police after her son’s body parts were found in buckets at her home.
The accused confirmed in the investigations that she did not intend to kill her child, and said that she “tried to eat his head so that he would not leave her forever”.
The security source familiar with the investigations revealed to Masrawy that the mother suffers from a mental illness.
It is reported that the mother was referred to the Public Prosecution Office, which requested investigations by the security services about the incident, the burial of the remainder of the child’s body, and the assignment of a medical committee to conduct a medical examination on the mother.
Sanaa: Four people were killed in Yemen after the collapse of a water dam in the Al Mahwit governorate, about 111 km west of the capital Sanaa.
Local authorities on Sunday confirmed that the Al-Aqabi Dam in the Hafash district of Al Mahwit governorate had collapsed, causing a flood that swept away a mosque with four people inside, killing all of them.
The flood also damaged nearby houses.
The governorate has been under the control of the Houthi group since 2014, Xinhua news agency reported.
Adel Issa, an official appointed by the Houthis in the governorate, attributed the dam’s collapse to heavy rains and torrential flows.
Two rescue and ambulance vehicles were dispatched to the scene by authorities in Sanaa, he added.
Yemen’s National Centre of Meteorology issued a warning to citizens in several governorates, including Al Mahwit, about heavy rains and advised them to avoid travelling through torrential passages, valleys, and reefs during and after the rainfall.

KYIV — Russia launched 23 missiles at Ukraine’s sleeping cities and towns in the early hours of Friday, killing multiple civilians, including a toddler.
It was the first massive Russian barrage in weeks.
Ukraine’s Air Defense Forces reported shooting down 21 cruise missiles launched by Russian jets from the Caspian Sea.
But one Russian missile hit a nine-story residential building in Uman, a town in central Ukraine famous for its vibrant Jewish culture, destroying a large section of it. On Friday morning, 10 people were found dead and 17 others were taken to hospital, Ihor Klymenko, Ukraine’s interior minister, said in a statement. Rescuers are still working at the scene.
In Dnipro, Russia’s forces destroyed a house, killing a 31-year-old woman and a 2-year-old toddler. Three others were wounded.
“Missile strikes killing innocent Ukrainians in their sleep, including a 2-year-old child, is Russia’s response to all peace initiatives,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a statement. “The way to peace is to kick Russia out of Ukraine. The way to peace is to arm Ukraine with F-16s and protect children from Russian terror.”
The end of the road for the Bolt comes at the beginning of a new era for EVs.
Over the next two or three years, the availability of EVs is poised to transition from just one or two models per automaker to a full slate of vehicles, of many styles and at many price points. Vehicles like the tiny, wedge-shaped Bolt are less popular than SUVs and trucks.
That’s true both for customers, who can’t get enough of larger vehicles, and automakers, who need the higher profit margins from larger vehicles to fund the expensive EV transition.
Observers were conflicted over the Bolt’s demise and what it signifies.
In the eyes of some, it was fitting for the compact to go away as GM and other automakers prepare for an onslaught of models. Others were confounded that GM had chosen to discontinue America’s most inexpensive EV while demand is high.
Joel Levin, executive director of Plug In America, a nonprofit group that aims to broaden EV acceptance, said in an email that the move felt “premature.”
“The Bolt is at its peak right now. Sales are high. With great effort and expense, they’ve resolved the battery issues. It’s a great option for consumers that are looking for a long range vehicle at a reasonable price,” he said.
“It will definitely leave a hole in the market,” he added.
The Bolt and its larger cousin, the Bolt EUV, sold 38,000 units last year in the United States. It is the cheapest nationally with a starting price of $26,500. But it ranks as the No. 5 EV seller behind Tesla Inc.’s slate of EVs and the Ford Mach-E SUV.
GM now makes two other EVs, the Cadillac LYRIQ and the GMC Hummer, but both are much larger and more expensive and are so far available only in small volumes.
The Bolt’s decline is coming as GM gears up to bring new mass-market models to showrooms. They include the Chevy Equinox, which will start around $30,000, and the Chevy Blazer, at around $45,000. Both are expected to start production this year.
“The Chevrolet Bolt represents GM’s first serious electric vehicle effort,” said Karl Brauer, an analyst for iSeeCars.com, an automotive search engine. “But the Bolt represents GM’s electric vehicle past, not its future.”
For its part, GM said it was ending production of the Bolt because the factory in which it’s made needs to close for retooling.
The Orion plant, just north of Detroit, is preparing for the making of two electric pickup trucks, the GMC Sierra and the Chevrolet Silverado. “We’ve progressed so far that it’s now time to plan the end of Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV production,” GM CEO Mary Barra said on a call with investors Tuesday to announce the company’s most recent financial results.
Third time’s not the charm
GM is infamous for killing electric cars.
Way back in 2002, after a short run, it ended production of the EV1, America’s very first mass-produced EV. The opaque reasons behind its termination led to the documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car?” which turned the EV into a political cause and an early actor in the emerging debate over climate change.
Between the EV1 and the Bolt — and another, smaller experiment called the Spark — came another high-profile EV. Like that Bolt, it would come to market with innovative technology and high expectations but meet with disappointing sales.
Even its name was similar: It was called the Volt.
Today, the Volt’s vehicle class is called a plug-in hybrid. When it was introduced in 2010, however, no one knew what to call it. China was the first to introduce the basic idea: a vehicle that runs primarily on a battery, with a backup gasoline engine. When GM introduced its version to American drivers, it called it an “extended range electric car.”
Sales never reached GM’s hopes; the car ended production in 2018 having sold a total of about 177,000 units. By comparison, Tesla sold more than 462,000 EVs in the United States in the last year alone.
What would become the Volt’s successor — the Bolt — was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2015.
It ditched the backup gasoline engine and was pure electric. It was similar in size to another mass-market EV, the Nissan LEAF, which had been introduced in 2010.
However, the Bolt was the first attempt by a U.S.-based automaker to make a pure-electric vehicle intended to be sold in every state, not just to meet regulatory requirements in California.
Its proposition was very similar to what ended up becoming the reality: a range of 200 miles or better with a price around $30,000. At the time, Barra called it “a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity.”
“In some ways, everything about the Bolt seemed like a good idea,” said Mike Ramsey, an auto analyst for the consultancy Gartner, of the Bolt. “It provided a very nice range at a relatively low price.”
While the Bolt had its fans, the compact never generated a ton of excitement.
“Seeing one of these on the road doesn’t evoke any strong emotions in the looks department,” wrote Zander Sutton, an automotive blogger, in a review of the Bolt EUV, which was introduced in 2016. “They were never the prettiest cars on the road … but there’s little to be offended by.”
Any buzz that the Bolt may have generated was sucked up by another entry-level EV that became a global sensation: the Tesla Model 3. It was “a stylish car with better performance and range — albeit at a higher price.” Ramsey said.
Then, in 2021, a safety problem engulfed the Bolt brand. A series of battery fires destroyed 16 Bolts, resulting in a series of recalls that came to encompass every Bolt that GM had sold. Drivers were warned “to park their vehicles outside and away from structures, and to not charge the vehicles overnight.”
“That took most of the wind out of the sails for the Bolt and unfortunately consigned it to a sort of second-tier product,” Ramsey said.
Finally, technology is passing the Bolt by.
In 2020, GM said that all its future models would share a new battery technology, called Ultium. The platform, co-developed with Korean battery maker LG Chem Ltd., is the basis for all of GM’s upcoming slate of EVs, including models now on the market like the Cadillac LYRIQ and the GMC Hummer.
“GM likely was faced with a decision about updating and/or refreshing the Bolt with new electrical systems to support its other services-based ambitions,” Ramsey said, “and decided it would discontinue it rather than not have the capabilities the other EVs in the lineup would have.”
