The social media post, the sources added, went viral as netizens extended their sympathies to the groom’s family over the “devastating” development.  The inconsistent claims by the woman’s family and the groom’s side left police …

Man Unknowingly Consumes Fish Gall Bladder, Spends A Week In Indore Hospital

Indore: A 42-year-old man’s condition deteriorated so much that he had to be hospitalised for a week after unknowingly consuming fish gall bladder in Indore, a doctor said on Wednesday. Dr Jai Singh Arora, a nephrologist at a private hospital here, told PTI that the man started throwing up and suffered from diarrhoea after he ate fish gall bladder without realising that he had ingested the organ that stores bile produced by the liver. His family thought it was a case of food poisoning until investigations pointed to something serious. Along with his serum creatinine, an indicator of kidney functions, the levels of two liver enzymes – SGOT and SGPT – had shot up dangerously, the doctor said. “The patient came to us in a critical condition. He was admitted to the hospital for a week. Even after this, his treatment continued. At present, he is healthy,” Arora said. The fish gall bladder contains a poisonous chemical called sodium cyprinol sulfate, which can rapidly damage the liver and kidneys if ingested by humans, he added. …

In Madhya Pradesh, Law For All, But Not Cops

In Madhya Pradesh, Law For All, But Not Cops

Bhopal: Government laws and regulations are meant to be equal for all, but what happens when those responsible for enforcing them openly violate them? In a shocking revelation, the Madhya Pradesh Police has been found flouting traffic regulations such as operating vehicles without registration certificates or number plates. If a common citizen is found driving a vehicle or a two-wheeler without a fitness certificate, he or she is penalised with a fine ranging from Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000, and Rs 10,000 for a repeat offender. However, the state police force – tasked with upholding the Motor Vehicles Act – operates its own fleet without adhering to such rules.  Kishore Kumar, a police driver for 38 years, said: “I have never seen any document for our vehicles. Officers say these vehicles are not insured. Maintenance is not done on time, and fitness deteriorates due to excessive use. Not all vehicles are insured.” To be sure, the Motor Vehicles Act does not mandate central and state government-owned vehicles, used for purposes not connected with any commercial …
