Newly-wed woman murdered over dowry, husband's family stages it as suicide for not getting Bullet motorcycle in UP
Hyderabad Murder case In a tragic incident, a 22-year-old newlywed woman named Sapna was found dead at her in-laws' house in Uttar Pradesh's Kotwa village, under the Maniyar police station area. The police said her body was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan, suggesting that it may have been staged to look like suicide. According to Maniyar SHO Ratnesh Dubey, the police reached the house as soon as they got the information. Sapna's body was taken into custody and sent for post-mortem at the district hospital to find out the exact cause of death. Sapna had married Narendra Chauhan on March 2, 2025. The police filed a case based on a complaint made by Sapna's maternal grandfather, Babbu Chauhan. In the complaint, he said that Sapna's in-laws had been harassing her for more dowry, even after receiving a significant amount at the time of the wedding. He claimed that Sapna's family had already given Rs 90,000 through bank transfer, Rs 3 lakh in cash, a gold chain, and a ring as dowry. But still, the harassment didn't stop. Her in-laws allegedly began demanding a Bullet motorcycle and another Rs 3 lakh. When Sapna's family couldn't meet these demands, the situation got worse. Her grandfather believes she was murdered, and her death was made to look like suicide by hanging her with a dupatta from a fan hook. Based on the complaint, the police registered a case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Dowry Prohibition Act. The case names her husband Narendra Chauhan, his sister Champa Devi, and two sisters-in-law Puja Devi and Reena Devi. The three women were arrested and have been sent to judicial custody after completing all legal procedures. The police are still trying to find and arrest Sapna's husband, who is currently missing.

Zee to raise Rs 2,200 crore from promoter group entities
MUMBAI: In its first major fundraising effort since the collapse of its merger with Sony Pictures India, will raise Rs 2,237 crore from its promoters to finance its growth plans. The company plans to issue up to 16.95 crore convertible warrants at Rs 132 each to Altilis Technologies and Sunbright Mauritius Investments, companies owned by promoters Subhash Chandra and his family, in one or more tranches. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Once the warrants are converted into equity within 18 months from the date of allotment, Subhash Chandra and his family's ownership in the broadcaster will increase significantly to 18.39% from 3.99% as of March-end 2025. This will be an important event in Zee's history as the founding family strengthens its control over the company, which has faced takeover threats in the past. The method by which the family is raising Rs 2,237 crore has not been disclosed. Zee's fund-raising initiative comes at a time when it is working to stabilise operations and focus on digital growth after implementing various strategies such as cost-cutting, staff reductions, and investment in new content following the fallout from last year's failed merger with Sony Pictures India. Zee is now looking to build its core business and invest in emerging segments like micro-drama app Bullet. The company has scheduled a shareholder meeting on July 10 to seek approval for the issuance of warrants to its promoters. The warrants are priced higher than the regulatory price of Rs 128.58 each, with the current Zee stock trading at Rs 138 per share. This fundraising plan follows a review of Zee's growth strategies by investment bank JP Morgan, which presented various strategic alternatives to augment and strengthen the company's balance sheet. After considering these alternatives, Zee's board approved the issuance of upto 16.95 crore convertible warrants to promoter group entities on a preferential basis at Rs 132 per warrant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Shubham Shree, representing the promoter group, said: "The promoters submitted their desire to enhance their shareholding to the board on May 1 when the stock price was at Rs 106.35. However, they remain committed to the company and its business even at the higher price (of Rs 132 per warrant)."
