00:01Good evening and welcome ladies and gentlemen. I'm Pooja Shali. Welcome to The Point.
00:06And this evening I'm going to take you through details that are emerging daily about the youth in love but
00:14turning murderous.
00:15And why? Is this a trend, a pattern or something that we have ignored for far too long?
00:20What is leading our young couples to take to measures that are not just scary, not just dangerous,
00:26but are raising a question on how the society is turning out?
00:30I'm going to take you through all the details. I'm Pooja Shali. First, the headlines.
00:38preliminary investigation revealed Sia was main conspirator behind the murder.
00:42Chetan helped her push Ketan off the cliff.
00:46According to cops, Sia and Chetan now sent to seven-day police custody where they will be interrogated.
00:50Victim Ketan Agarwal's father says there was no sign of grief on Sia's face, which drew their suspicion.
01:00Days after the Lucknow fire incident took the life of 15 people, post-mortem report reveals
01:06toxic fumes were the primary cause of death of most of them.
01:10Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's turn diktat on coaching centres,
01:13bans commercial activity in basements.
01:15Meanwhile, a political face-off era.
01:24At least four people have confirmed died after a metal shed of a factory collapsed in Bengal's Kolkata.
01:3021 people rescued so far, 18 people still fear trapped.
01:34Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari takes stock.
01:36Rescue ops currently underway.
01:42Bengaluru metro services took a hit after tech snag on Tuesday.
01:46Stranded techies dumped the metro, hitch a ride on trucks.
01:50It was a shoddy Bengaluru infrastructure work that's getting exposed again.
01:54500 crore rupees road appears to have been damaged even before inauguration.
02:03Punjab Chief Minister's sacrilege controversy takes a murky turn.
02:07Bhagawan Tman government asked cops to forge forensic report.
02:10Guru Gram cops register FIR in the case.
02:12FR suggests, cops offered 10 lakh rupees to force the report.
02:20In a major setback, UK court orders fugitive Nirav Modi to repay 100 crore rupees to the Bank of India
02:27in load recovery.
02:28The court also held that Nirav Modi remained legally responsible for the debt.
02:40So let me start with the case that caught everyone's attention, everyone's discussing.
02:44Because this case, unlike the Sonam Raja Raghwanshi case, is a murder that investigators have said have happened even before
02:51the wedding took place.
02:52It was supposed to be a trek to a historic fort, a wedding just months away.
02:56But the police now say this was no accident.
02:59In Pune, investigators alleged that there was a love triangle that turned into a murder plot.
03:03Now, a young man, an innocent young man looking forward to get married, but there was this Chetan Chaudhary, according
03:10to police, and Sia Goyal, the young woman on your screen, barely 20 years of age, who decided to push
03:17Ketan Agarwal into a 400-foot gorge and the death initially passed off as a tragic fall.
03:23The accused, on your screen, his fiancée and her alleged partner.
03:27But here's a report really about the timeline of events, what is the investigation looking like, and how the family
03:34is expecting justice in this case.
03:51Just months before his wedding, Ketan Agarwal walked into what police now describe as a deadly trap.
03:59A love story that ended in murder at the edge of a fort.
04:03Police claim Sia did not want to go ahead with the marriage, and wanted to continue her relationship with Chetan
04:10Chaudhary, and began seeing Ketan as an obstacle.
04:14Police allege Sia and Chetan then conspired together to eliminate him.
04:20For Ketan's family, the shock is overwhelming.
04:36Both Sia and Chetan have now been arrested and remanded to seven days of police custody.
04:41However, Chetan's lawyer has argued in court that Ketan's death was an accident, not murder.
04:50We strongly opposed the police custody, and considering our arguments, the Honourable Court granted seven days of police custody to
05:00both men.
05:00Police, meanwhile, maintained that the death was the result of a carefully planned conspiracy.
05:07Police say the sequence of events unfolded in June 18 at Lohagarh Fort.
05:13Sia and Ketan arrived at Lohagarh Fort together.
05:17Chetan reached separately.
05:19The three met near the edge of a gorge.
05:23Investigators allege Chetan attacked Ketan before he was pushed into a 400-feet gorge.
05:30Police say Sia then called authorities, claiming Ketan had slipped and fallen.
05:36A key piece of evidence is CCTV footage that allegedly places Chetan at Lohagarh Fort on the day of the
05:44incident.
05:45The fort's gatekeeper has told investigators that Chetan entered the premises without purchasing a ticket.
06:21A wedding that never happened.
06:23And a trek that ended in murder.
06:27As investigators piece together the final moments of Ketan Agarwal's life, one family continues to wait for answers and justice.
06:38With Omkar Wable in Pune, Bureau Report, India Today.
06:45And remember that while all of us are shocked, wondering what happened, why did this happen?
06:51And a 20-year-old girl, young woman, so to say, can indulge in such behaviour.
06:57But it's also important to understand what is driving many of our young ones,
07:01who appear to be in love otherwise, getting married, want to get married, are somehow indulging in murderous behaviour.
07:10I have on the panel this evening Dr. Jayanti Datta.
07:13She's a criminal and clinical psychologist.
07:15Someone who would understand possibly what is the reason and pattern behind it.
07:19Sanjay Sahai is a former IPS officer of repute.
07:22He's also joining me to help understand the crime that we are talking about.
07:27Is this a new trend or have we had instances in the past?
07:29Dr. Jayanti Datta, I'm very keen to understand this.
07:33A 20-year-old girl, young woman, whatever we may want to call, is still fairly a young mind.
07:40From the reels on Instagram, it looks like she's very happy.
07:44She's going to get married in some months and to a very well-off family.
07:48The next thing we know that she's a suspect, now an accused, in a case of murder of a fiancée.
07:54We've seen these instances in the past, like Sonam Raja Raghwanshi case.
07:58We've seen in the Shraddha Valkar case, where she was killed brutally by her live-in partner.
08:03These are young people.
08:05What do you think is happening in this case?
08:07Let's begin first with this.
08:08I want to specifically understand what you believe possibly happened in her mind, in her case.
08:14See, if you look back in the media portrayal also, you had Muskaan, you had Sonam, and you know, you
08:22had a couple of other cases also where, like Shraddha Madar case, you said.
08:27Once Shraddha Madar case was brought to the notice, a couple of other cases came into our light.
08:32That was in Mumbai, then in Bangalore.
08:35You know, whether the body pieces were cut, then cooked in the cooker, and then served to the dogs.
08:41Now, there is a tendency in criminal behavior, once you have the criminal propensity, you have the psychopathic tendencies in
08:51your persona, you look forward.
08:53When you get these kind of informations, you have a tendency to ape that, imitate that.
09:00And you feel, you know, the criminal psyche is such, you feel you can get away with it.
09:05Nobody will be able to catch you.
09:07But a 20-year-old girl can always say, ma'am, that I don't want to get married.
09:11That's what many are saying.
09:12Why didn't you just refuse the marriage, then go and kill your fiancé?
09:16No, there are a couple of psychodynamics in their persona.
09:19As I said, psychopathic personality, then organ inferiority.
09:24You might look good, but you know, there are certain wanton things in your body which you don't have.
09:31Like, she didn't have the height, right?
09:33And the pretense, she had to maintain.
09:36And here is that, you know, that greediness, you know, to get the, what Sonam did, the greed to get
09:45the rest of the, you know, the boons, like the money and the other things.
09:51And the first thing they feel that, you know, the society might call me bad.
09:56Society might say that I'm a killer.
09:57If I say no to the marriage.
09:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:00And if I say yes to the marriage, and I'm smart enough to get him killed, because they are already
10:06convinced.
10:06Unfortunately, both these men, if you see, they were totally, absolutely convinced that this woman loves me, you know.
10:16And this is their trick.
10:18And when they do it, then they say, all right, we'll get him killed and the rest of the goodies
10:24we'll pocket.
10:25So the main, this thing, whether it is Sonam, whether it is Muskan, to get the goodies for themselves, you
10:33know, they want the financial benefit.
10:35They want the other benefits.
10:36But what is the financial benefit in this case, ma'am?
10:39They haven't even got married.
10:41No, but she had all the time, you know, he's been showering gifts to her.
10:46She's been getting all the things.
10:47And look at the organ inferiority.
10:49This is how they boost up their ego.
10:52This is a psychopathic tendency, you know, to boost up their ego identity by acquiring this kind of power, you
11:01know.
11:01And look at this.
11:03If somebody is saying that it's not a murder, I will say, please go back to the sequences.
11:08This man had switched off his mobile and wearing, look at the dress, look at the body language.
11:15We teach, you know, for criminal investigations, we teach the officers to investigate the body language.
11:20Look at the body language of the perpetrator.
11:23He is no way absolutely confident, you know, no way he's scared.
11:28So when he's in that image, and we'll put that image out also of the CCTV image of him in
11:33Hoodie.
11:33Look, post, post, post murder also.
11:35Look at this girl.
11:37She has no empathy.
11:38These are the psychopathic personalities who have the criminal propensity.
11:43And if you look back into their history, I'm sure the family, if you investigate, if you interrogate, you will
11:48find a small little bits of, you know, the criminal offenses which they have done.
11:53And they have got away with it.
11:54And especially heterosexual.
11:57If you look into this girl's history, I'm sure there must have been a couple of other relations where, you
12:03know, she must have got away with it.
12:04Ma'am, we'll not get personal.
12:04Ma'am, I request you to not get personal.
12:06No, no, no.
12:06I'm not getting personal.
12:07It's a developing story because we don't know.
12:09We don't know the details.
12:10It's not personal.
12:11It is the psychopathic tendency of these characters.
12:14There could be a certain thing.
12:16These are the personality traits.
12:16Ma'am, but eventually, yes, investigation is on and she's a young woman after all.
12:21No, but tell me one thing.
12:22I get your point.
12:23I want to go across to Sanjay Sahai because there have been cases, I understand, in all my years of
12:29experience as a journalist, that there have been juveniles, for example, who have been involved in criminal activities.
13:04And we understand there could be a pattern here.
13:05It has certainly become pretty clear that this is the new normal.
13:09So, these people have grown up in a surreal world, might be a social media world or whatever you call
13:15it.
13:15And they don't want to face reality.
13:18As a truism goes, if you don't want to face the world, Facebook.
13:22And they come from a very affluent background.
13:25As per this particular case is considered, they come from a very affluent background.
13:29They would have never heard no in their life and they would have gotten away.
13:32With variety of small things.
13:34We call it the broken windows out of a syndrome that if you allow smaller things to happen, one fine
13:39day, things of a nature, things of that nature will happen that which will go completely beyond our control.
13:45Though this might be the first big criminal activity or case or heinous crime which she has committed.
13:52Criminality was deep-seated in her.
13:54At the psychological level, criminality was deep-seated which is clearly proven by the fact with the meticulous nature in
14:02which everything has been planned.
14:03And not only that she planned for herself, she planned for the other accused also.
14:08His movement, his not ticking the phone and all that has been very, very neatly planned.
14:15The second part is, which is very, very important, that the general impression of the police and the government and
14:21people who have absolutely no idea
14:22of how governance and investigation runs in this country and I think this whole generation has absolutely no idea.
14:28They feel they can get away with anything.
14:30She had this thing in his mind and when Keitan took her for the first trek,
14:36so at that particular point, she realized this is the ideal way to go ahead.
14:41And that is where the whole scheme came into the picture.
14:44She wanted to go again on the 4th.
14:46Then I think they went on the 14th and she tried and he fell into, he was able to hold
14:52on to some tree and all that and finally on the fateful day, this happened.
14:56Added to that, when they were supposed to fly down to Bali, she presumably or allegedly she picked up or
15:04she stole the passport and she tore the passport and might be it went on through the washroom route, whatever
15:11it might be.
15:12So she had planned and she was ready to take any number of attempts, she finally removed this guy.
15:19It's a very clear-cut thought process that you have to be good in society.
15:24This is the goody-goody thing, duality, tripality or whatever.
15:28So somehow the other blame should not come on me, but should be for some, how my work gets done.
15:34No, for every single thing.
15:35See, there is duplicity in life today.
15:37Social media life is different.
15:39What you project is different.
15:40What you actually are is different.
15:41So that has slowly become, it's like corruption in our system.
15:45When people talk about, politicians talk about, bureaucrats talk about, they talk about this particular thing went wrong.
15:50I'm not getting into the analogy.
15:52What happened in Delhi in the fire action, they're just talking about that.
15:55Actually, the criminality is all across the place.
15:58I want to talk about solutions also here.
16:00We are realizing that this is...
16:01Yes, we'll get into the solutions.
16:03Too many instances like this is happening.
16:05Barkha Trihan is also joining me.
16:06Barkha often is seen speaking up for men's rights,
16:10saying that usually these cases also don't get picked up.
16:13Barkha, you tell me here.
16:14In this case, a young innocent man looking forward to a marriage and this case happens.
16:19But we also understand that there are, let's say for example,
16:22and this is more of a hypothesis that I'm giving,
16:25that for, let's say, a hundred dowry cases and deaths that we have seen,
16:30there will be a few cases where men also are abused or killed in cases like this one, for example.
16:37How do you think this case needs to be projected?
16:40What are we looking at here?
16:41What do you have to say?
16:42See, first of all, let's start with not some cases.
16:47The NCRB data says three times husband suicides.
16:53And if you count in the blue drum cases, the murders,
16:59not only the blue drum, the coffee with poison, the electric shop murders,
17:05there are other murders also, husband murders or boyfriend's murder or fiance murders.
17:11So if you count them, it is four, four times more than women.
17:15Just now you're talking about bride, murders, dowry deaths.
17:20Have we ever recorded how many husbands are killed and how many husbands are burned?
17:26Nothing.
17:26We don't have data.
17:27But here I'm presenting you NCRB data, which says that brutality is going beyond.
17:35We cannot even talk about that.
17:37But because in India, we don't talk about men atrocities.
17:41So we keep on discussing these cases whenever they are highlighted.
17:45In this case, I want hanging of this girl.
17:52Because until and unless we instill fear in these girls, these cases will keep on cupping.
17:58And when Sonam Raghuwanshi case happened, I said that this will be a trend.
18:03And it seems to be a trend.
18:04I have seen other cases also where they are forced.
18:10And sometimes they use their boyfriends to get the person murdered.
18:16But I don't blame the boyfriend.
18:19In Muskaan's case also, the boyfriend was there.
18:22But there was a fake identity made.
18:25But why shouldn't we blame the boyfriends also, Barkha?
18:29Because eventually you're part of that criminal conspiracy.
18:32I'll tell you.
18:33I'll tell you.
18:34These girls are the mastermind.
18:35And they lure the girl, the boys into this.
18:39See, I'll tell you how what happened in Saurab's case also.
18:42The Meret murder, the blue drum case.
18:44The girl, the wife of Saurab, planted in the boyfriend.
18:50And the boyfriend was not ready.
18:51She made a fake ID of a mother who was dead to convince the boyfriend.
18:58So anything can happen because she could...
19:00But I would also say that at this point,
19:02if there are two people involved in criminal conspiracy,
19:04we'll put both of them with that accountability.
19:07And the mastermind is a girl.
19:08And it is correct.
19:10And it is correct that in this case especially,
19:13and the other cases that you're mentioning,
19:15that especially men also are victims.
19:18While we've had, of course, trend and pattern generational
19:20when it comes to women being abused,
19:22let's also remember that there are men in this case,
19:25and young innocent man who was looking forward to his marriage
19:28has lost his life.
19:30And there's more to it.
19:30Yes.
19:31And there's more to it that the girl was playing victim also.
19:36Even after the gruesome murder which has shocked the country,
19:40she was playing victim also because she...
19:42That's what drew the suspicion of the family.
19:45Please stay on with me because remember this is not just one case.
19:47We are witnessing different cases,
19:50Meghalaya, Mera, Delhi, Pune,
19:52raising troubling questions about relationships turning deadly.
19:55In some cases, the woman is murdered.
19:57In some cases, the man is murdered.
19:59But I want you to take a look at this report to help us understand
20:01that most of these cases have individuals who are in their 20s.
20:06What is leading them perhaps to take these extreme measures?
20:11Is it social media?
20:13Is this their thoughts that they can escape law?
20:15Or is there some pressure within the families?
20:18Here's a report.
20:25Love.
20:27Trust.
20:31Marriage.
20:32Relationships built on promises.
20:36But across India, a chilling pattern is emerging
20:40where relationships are ending not with separation,
20:43but with murder.
20:47A honeymoon that became a murder scene.
20:51Her husband poisoned and chopped into pieces.
20:54Body parts stored in a blue drum.
20:58A live-in partner dismembered and dumped across the city.
21:03And now, a fiancé allegedly pushed into a 400-foot gorge
21:08days before his wedding.
21:12But Pune is not an isolated case.
21:15Just months ago, the nation was gripped by the Meghalaya honeymoon murder.
21:23Raja Raghuwanshi had barely begun married life when he was found hacked to death near a gorge
21:28during a honeymoon trip.
21:33Police allege that his wife Sonam Raghuwanshi conspired with hired killers to eliminate him.
21:39A honeymoon became a crime scene.
21:43And her wife became the crime accused.
21:50In Merritt, another case sent shockwaves across the country.
21:55Saurabh Rajput had returned from London to surprise his wife.
22:00Police say Muskan Rastogi and her lover first poisoned him, then murdered him.
22:07Investigators allege his body was dismembered, sealed inside a cement-filled drum,
22:12and hidden in an attempt to destroy evidence.
22:16Even after his death, messages were allegedly sent from his phone to mislead family members.
22:26And then there was the Shraddha Walker case.
22:30A crime so gruesome that it horrified the nation.
22:34Police alleged that after strangling Shraddha,
22:37her live-in partner, Aftar Poonawala, cut her body into dozens of pieces,
22:41stored them in a refrigerator and disposed them off over several weeks across Delhi.
22:52The murder remained hidden for months before investigators finally uncovered the truth.
23:00Different cities, different relationships, different victims.
23:05But a chillingly similar trait of betrayal, deception and calculated violence.
23:12From honeymoon trips to wedding plans.
23:16From promises of love to allegations of murder.
23:21India is witnessing a disturbing pattern where relationships are no longer just breaking down.
23:27They are ending in bloodshed.
23:32A relationship can end.
23:35A marriage can be called off.
23:37A breakup can happen.
23:39But increasingly, investigators are confronting cases where love gives way to betrayal.
23:46And betrayal ends in gruesome murders.
23:50Bureau Report, India Today.
23:56We may want to think that in affluent families or educated families in 2026,
24:01a woman could just say,
24:03no, I want to bring in Dr. Jayanti Dutta here.
24:05I want to understand here about the family pressure.
24:08The peer pressure.
24:09That there is a family we know which we think is perfect for you, suitable for you.
24:13And for some reason that she cannot say no.
24:16How much of that factor comes in here when there is this society issue, status issue,
24:22going by what the investigators are saying here,
24:24that she then decided that murder could be a better option than saying no to the marriage?
24:31I would like you to appreciate, irrespective of the gender of the perpetrator,
24:37they all were remorseless.
24:40They never had any guilt feeling, whether it is Sonam, whether it is Sardha's murderer,
24:47or whether it is Muskan's, this thing.
24:50You see, they all were confident that, you know, they can get away with it.
24:55And there is no remorse, no empathy, no nothing.
24:57The major thing which happens in criminal psyche is you copy the trend.
25:04You know, there is a tendency to copy the behavior of the criminals.
25:09And they are seeing that there isn't any punishment.
25:12Sardha's perpetrator, Sardha's murderer, is still behind the bar, but behind the lockup.
25:18But no punishment.
25:20There is no deterrent.
25:22Muskan, there is no deterrent.
25:25Sonam is also out.
25:26Now, there is a component of grandiosity, you know, the syndrome of grandiosity.
25:31When you are having organ inferiority, you are having psychopathic tendencies.
25:36You would like to do something showing that, you see, I can tell them and they will do it.
25:42They will just obey whatever I order.
25:46Now, this is how they have been bullying.
25:49And they have, now, once the person is killed, they go ahead with their so-called lover boy.
25:55Now, this has happened, this is no more restricted to the urban setup.
25:59This is happening even in the rural setup.
26:02Don't forget that lady, you know, that woman who killed her husband and then pretended as if there were snake
26:08bites.
26:09So, there is a tendency to copy from the media and this grandiose feeling, you know, I can get away
26:15with everything.
26:16I would tell them to do something and they will do it.
26:20Now, unfortunately, these perpetrators are not capable of maintaining any finer relationship.
26:28They are incapable of enjoying any finer emotionality.
26:33So, their EQ is very low and they are very confident.
26:37EQ meaning emotional quotient.
26:39Emotional quotient.
26:39Yes.
26:40Their EQ is very low.
26:42Their grandiose demand is very high.
26:44Quick question.
26:45How much of this is about parenting, family pressures, society issues?
26:52Because some of them, you may say it's a criminal tendency.
26:54What if this is about too much of a protective parenting where you are supposed to follow what is expected
27:01of you?
27:01I don't think there are these kind of people, you know, you have these kind of psychodynamics in your persona.
27:09They can be pressurized by anyone.
27:12I am sure if you look into this, they are not capable of entertaining or walking into a very kind
27:20of a solid emotional bond.
27:23They don't, they are not able to.
27:24I am sure the cases like these have reached you also in your years as an IPS officer.
27:29In cases like this, what is it do you think that families can do?
27:33Let's say someone watching you right now, a family member, a parent, thinking what if my child either is a
27:40victim of it or worse, what if my child is accused of this?
27:43What can parents do to ensure, and I will take this to the psychologist also later, to ensure that they
27:48are raising children who will be very clear in what they want, do not want, will be able to confide
27:54easily and not indulge in criminal behavior like this?
27:57So basically, a human being is the sum total of primary socialization and secondary socialization.
28:05Primary socialization is basically your family, siblings and their near-growth.
28:11And secondary is your school, college and your professional group.
28:15Unfortunately, there is no grooming in any of these.
28:19And as things go by and people don't have time, their bonding of the family itself is not there to
28:26an extent that the child basically grows up in a crash or something, that sort of environment.
28:33Other thing in our generation, we were poked by the parents for every small little thing, mistake which we committed.
28:40Now that thing is completely gone.
28:42I see amongst my colleagues, friends, family members, there is nobody who is ready to either groom or take on
28:48the child with the fear that the repercussion will be such, might be a suicide, might be a variety of
28:53other things.
28:54So these people added to that is the social media.
28:57So it's a complete jungle growth.
29:00Today, raising a child is a full-time job with all sorts of capabilities which you require.
29:07I think parenting requires the biggest sort of a mix of expertise which human being can offer to any task
29:16or any action which is supposed to be done.
29:20So when that has completely broken, how do we move forward?
29:24Then you have the social media and variety of other things where they basically teach you to have a duplicity
29:30of life.
29:31Now, on some other channel, they were talking about those beautiful pictures and all.
29:34They are all calibrated. There is absolutely nothing because every marriage has those pictures.
29:39Instagram, we often notice that there are certain kind of pictures uploaded and you know that perhaps the reality can
29:44be very different.
29:45A quick question here.
29:46The girl thought that she will get away with it according to the investigation right now.
29:50What do you think the cops can do or have done in these cases to be able to find out
29:55if everyone is passing off as an accident?
29:57How do they lead the suspicion to a conclusion to say it was not an accident, a murder?
30:03What do you think the cops possibly went with the trail here?
30:06See, primarily the whole thing opened up when the sister of the deceased found some level of suspicion in the
30:15main accused, Sia.
30:17And at that particular point in time, Sia was incoherent or she was not able to give the details in
30:22the manner which is generally expected of a fiancée in that particular state of mind or in that particular situation.
30:29When things started getting adding up with the father's version also, I think somewhere earlier also, this boy had told
30:37that she is too much busy with the phone and her response is not that of her fiancée.
30:42So, all those things have been adding up.
30:44She did expect that, yes, that her statements will be caught on.
30:48When things were adding up, then they went to the police, that, okay, this is a murder case and the
30:53whole thing, when they got into call records, when they got into the mobile phone being deliberately left behind.
31:01Left behind, why would that boy do it?
31:03Correct, correct, that's an important point.
31:05Barkha, because, sir, I have to wrap up the show.
31:07I want to take a word from Barkha as well.
31:09Why do you believe there needs to be a strict deterrent here?
31:11And also, how can we ensure, either way, men or women, that innocent lives are not lost in cases like
31:17these?
31:18As an activist, what do you say should be done?
31:20There is no fear.
31:21There is right now no fear in women.
31:23They commit a crime and they know they will get scot-free.
31:26Nothing is going to happen.
31:27I'll tell you a recent case.
31:28This is just yesterday from Mumbai, where a woman mobbed photos of her mother-in-law, would-be mother-in
31:35-law,
31:35threatened the family for false complaints, just because they declined a marriage proposal.
31:42Just imagine, a declined marriage proposal and this was harassment, which was continuous.
31:48And then the women, the mother-in-law went to the police and got the girl arrested.
31:54So this is becoming a behavior.
31:56These Gen Zs, they are thinking that they can commit a crime and they can get away.
32:01These Gen Zs, girls, they think they are too smart and they will get away.
32:06And boys also.
32:07But for boys also, there have been enough cases, even in Shraddha Valkar case, Aftab, Ameen Pumhara.
32:12Yeah, yeah, I was coming to that only.
32:14After Shraddha Valkar's case, just after 15 days, there was a man who was cut into pieces, 35 pieces,
32:21same way he was put in the fridge, the whitewash was done, and the body pieces were dumped in the
32:27jungle,
32:27but nobody even bothered to report.
32:30But the problem is…
32:31No, I absolutely agree.
32:32Everyone has to be…
32:34When murders like this happen, we have to report fairly.
32:36And in this case…
32:37But it happened in Delhi, Pandav Nagar.
32:39And everybody will agree that case like that of Ketan Agarwal has shocked everyone.
32:43Young man lost his life for no reason.
32:45Jain Ji is not capable.
32:46I appreciate, ma'am.
32:47That's all the time I have for…
32:49I would like to, of course, add here that our 20-somethings are an incredibly intelligent, resilient generation.
32:57They are coping up with the changing world order that we have.
33:00But nevertheless, what is leading to the kind of anger issues or even murderous behavior that we are witnessing?
33:06And that is where, as a society, we need to come together and ensure that love must win.
33:11But there has to be also a realization that decisions and actions have consequences too.
33:23I also want to bring you another side of the story when it comes to the Pune murder case.
33:28This is the accused Chetan Chaudhary's father.
33:31He is claiming that the son is being falsely implicated.
33:34Chetan's father says, and I quote him here first, he is being falsely framed and has no involvement in this
33:40matter.
33:40He has said he did not push the boy and was standing far away.
33:44The police have informed that this is a minor issue and is actually a case of fraud.
33:50So, let's just listen in first to what is the father of one of the accused, Chetan Chaudhary.
34:31News from Maharashtra, Sena UBT MPs meeting Lok Sabha Speaker Ombirla, Sena UBT MPs demanding protection of the constitution and
34:37the provisions of the anti-reflection law.
34:39After the meeting with the Speaker, Sena UBT MPs stated, no decision should be taken without hearing the concerned party,
34:45asserting that rebel faction cannot be granted separate recognition under existing constitutional provisions.
34:51The Speaker informed the UBT MPs that no formal letter has been received from the rebel faction so far.
35:02That's the news coming in.
35:03Sena UBT MPs are seeking now for, they are yet to meet the Speaker to receive formal letter from the
35:09rebels.
35:39Sena UBT MPs at the point of the
35:59So which is the real TMC and which is the real Sena?
36:02Sources are now telling us that Lok Sabha's Speaker will be taking a decision on the monsoon session.
36:08Lok Sabha's Speaker has met all sides already twice.
36:11Once when they sought a meeting, once they were summoned by the Speaker on record.
36:15Now the Speaker's Office will be speaking to constitutional and legal experts and taking a final call.
36:22Mossmi Singh joining me for the latest on that.
36:25Mossmi, so when are we expecting that decision by the Speaker?
36:28And tell us what decision will be taken in the sense of how is the Speaker looking at TMC and
36:33how is the Speaker looking at the Sena rebellion?
36:36So clearly, Pooja, the big takeaway really from the meeting is that we've learned from our sources that the monsoon
36:43session is up on the cards in the middle of July, third week of July next month.
36:49And the decision has to come before that because many of these rebel camp empties and of course the DMC
36:58have demanded separate seating arrangements.
37:01So a lot of tasks at hand for the Speaker's office and the formalities as far as protocol and meetings
37:08on records are concerned, speakers finished all of that.
37:12He's heard both sides.
37:13So he'll be taking a call on the nitty gritties of the entire tussle between the TMC and the rebel
37:22camp and of course the Shiv Sena, UPG and the rebel camp and who's to be seated where.
37:29And we are also told that now after all these series of meetings, constitutional and legal experts would be consulted
37:37by the Speaker's office.
37:39Of course, they have their own team of experts in the Speaker's office and then a final call decision is
37:47likely any time next month.
37:50All right.
37:51So next month we'll be waiting for what exactly happens, especially when it comes to TMC and Sena.
37:55Thank you so much, Mossmi, for all the questions.
37:57Let me now take you to Punjab.
37:59It's a political controversy but that can take religious overtones as well and allegedly a sacrilege video is snowballing into
38:06a criminal investigation.
38:07Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Maan is facing some pressure after Gurugram police registered FIR, alleging attempts were made to influence
38:14forensic examination of a viral video.
38:16The FIR has now handed opposition fresh ammunition.
38:19BJP Congress Akali Dhal are charging at the CM.
38:22He's rejecting everything.
38:23Let's listen in to what exactly happened.
38:25How did the video appear to be troublesome now for the Punjab scene?
38:33The rouse surrounding an alleged sacrilege video involving Bhagwant Maan has taken a murky turn.
38:40Gurugram police has registered an FIR over allegations that bribes were paid to influence forensic test of the video.
38:47The forensic report was flaunted by the Punjab government to exonerate Chief Minister Maan.
38:53The most explosive twist comes after Gurugram cops alleged in the FIR that Punjab officials met officials from the Haryana
39:02forensic team and paid a bribe of Rs. 10 lakhs to influence the probe.
39:06The case was registered following a complaint by whistleblower who alleged that he was threatened to prepare a forged forensic
39:14report regarding the video clip.
39:46Fresh political storm has engulfed Punjab, with the BJP, Congress and the Akali's intensifying demands of Chief Minister Maan's resignation.
39:56The biggest question is that the biggest question is that the biggest issue of Punjab's work has passed in Punjab's
40:03work in Punjab.
40:05Today, the litmus test is that the biggest test of Punjab police, Bhagwant Maan, is the biggest test of Punjab's
40:14work in Punjab.
40:24ahead of the 27th of September, a new time ahead of the 27 Assembly polls.
40:29I know the calls to thep and all the cracklist and the coal and all the pisses are in the
40:33place.
40:34Every time I get on the call, then, it's the name of the Jong.
40:39Today, neither is the ras builders or the society, nor the 카lan, nor is it the name of the media.
40:45nor is the government of Punjab, nor is it the name of Punjab.
40:48So, I had realised that I might not be full of interference.
40:53With the BJP demanding his resignation and Aamandmi Party's rivals smelling blood ahead of 2027 polls,
41:01Mahan finds himself in a precarious situation.
41:04As faith and politics collide, Punjab's harmony itself is at stake.
41:10Bureau Report, India Today.
41:15Aseem Basri is joining me for the latest on that.
41:17But Aseem, how precisely do you think the government or the CM here is going to defend himself?
41:23Because from what I understand, sacrilege is one sensitive issue in Punjab.
41:27Yes, definitely. Sacrilege is a very, very sensitive issue.
41:29And we have seen in the past 10 years, there have been governments who always claim that sacrilege new law
41:35has been made by Aamandmi Party.
41:37And when Khalid Al-Dhul were accused of the same, Aamandmi Party in the Congress talked about justice.
41:43But now, when the chief minister himself is being on the target of the opposition,
41:49and after this, the Gurugram police snapped two percent and claiming that a complaint has come,
41:55that rupees 10 lakhs were paid by Punjab police, top cops, to ensure a fabricated forensic report to favor Punjab
42:02chief minister.
42:03The opposition has come, all guns blazing at the chief minister, demanding is the removal and also a registration of
42:09a case against the chief minister.
42:10But the chief minister has basically come out in his defense and said he is innocent.
42:16And he told that the BJP have basically manufactured this entire thing in Gurugram and said that the Bharatanpa Party,
42:23which is in power in Haryana, in Haryana, the forensic experts were tortured, were threatened and made to give such
42:32kind of statements.
42:33And this is all politics just to defame him religiously.
42:36Bhagavan Man said that the reality comes to the fore soon and independent probe happens.
42:42Because in cases like of sacrilege allegations also, we have seen even lynch mobs coming up to attack and we've
42:50seen some gruesome incidents.
42:51So let's just hope that the matter is handled sensitively.
42:54And I appreciate you joining us, Aseem, for the latest on that.
42:57I want to end this bulletin with the details coming in from Mumbai.
43:01So there was monsoon arrival in the city of Mumbai, but monsoon woos were laid bare and how?
43:06Now, there was a civic inspection happening that was led by the mayor in Mumbai to assess water logging.
43:13Instead, what happened was a Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation worker fell into an open drain while officials were reviewing the
43:21situation on the ground.
43:22Incident occurred on camera.
43:24This is Matunga area.
43:25The mayor and administrative officials were taking a tour of the locality.
43:29They were inspecting.
43:30Suddenly, one of their employees, a worker, slips into the uncovered opening, thereby exposing glaring concerns over civic infrastructure and
43:39public safety.
43:40Thankfully, he is safe.
43:41Didn't really face injuries.
43:43But remember, had this been a deeper drain, this could have been fatal and deadly too.
43:48And a reminder for the municipal officials that Ahmadineh faces a lot of inconvenience during these days.
43:55And perhaps, let's hope that inspection tours like this, as much as needed, will also result in implementation of covering
44:01the dreams.
44:02And wishing for people in Mumbai, they enjoy the monsoon, but stay safe.
44:15On that note, I'm wrapping up To The Point this evening.
44:18Thank you very much for watching.
44:19Thank you very much for watching.
