Lorna Hajdini: Andrew Tate’s brother, Tristan, seeks brutal punishment for ‘false accuser’ in JP Morgan case

Published by Parlour News

Lorna Hajdini has been firmly in the spotlight after a bombshell lawsuit accused the JPMorgan executive of sexually harassing her married male junior staffer. Now, she appears to have gained support from Tristan Tate, the brother of Andrew Tate, who’s known for his controversial stances on ‘manosphere’. Tristan Tate, Andrew Tate’s brother, sought brutal punishment if the accusation turned out to be false in the Lorna Hajdini sexual harassment lawsuit. (X/@san_x_m, X/@TateTheTalisman) The Daily Mail had initially reported on the lawsuit against Hajdini and as the matter blew up, New York Post publicly identified the accuser. However, we have chosen not to name the alleged victim in the matter. Meanwhile, the Post also reported that the lawsuit had been retracted for corrections, but many took it to mean that the allegations against Hajdini were false. Notably, the JPMorgan executive’s lawyer has denied any wrongdoing on her client’s part. JPMogran, which was also dragged into the suit, has clarified to the Mail via a spokesperson that the accuser’s claims did not have any ‘merit’ as an …

Bill seeking precise definition of ‘transgender’, graded punishment for crimes introduced in Lok Sabha It also underlines that a transgender person “shall not include, nor shall ever have been so included, persons with different sexual orientations and self-perceived sexual identities”.

The bill also contains provisions for “designation of an …

Senegal becomes latest African country to toughen punishment for homosexual acts

Published by Parlour News

DAKAR, Senegal — Senegal ‘s parliament has approved a new bill that toughens punishment for homosexuality in the largely Muslim West African nation, the latest African country to impose harsh penalties against the LGBTQ community. Senegal becomes latest African country to toughen punishment for homosexual acts The new bill, which was introduced to parliament last month by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, describes homosexual acts as being “against nature.” It doubles the punishment for those convicted from prison sentences of one to five years to between five and 10 years. Nearly all lawmakers voted in favor of the bill during Wednesday’s plenary, with no opposition and three abstentions. It needs presidential assent before becoming a law, with Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye widely expected to sign it. In another change, the proposed law punishes what it calls the “promotion” or “financing” of homosexuality, an attempt to crack down on organizations that support sexual and gender minorities. The fines for the offense were also raised to a maximum of 10 million CFA , but the bill retains …

Last Updated:March 11, 2026, 10:56 IST The gram panchayat passed a proposal stating that anyone found using such abusive language would have to pay a fine of Rs 500. The digital evidence of the incident is required. (Representative Image) For years, some of the most common abuses in everyday conversations have been centred on women. Think about it: how often do arguments quickly turn into insults where someone’s mother or sister is involved? These phrases are so normalised that many people do not even bother to question those hurling abuse. But things are now going to change. Well, at least, for one village in Maharashtra, which has decided not just to ask these questions but also to act on them. Kolgaon, a village located in Shrigonda in Maharashtra’s Ahilyanagar district, has introduced a rare rule aimed at discouraging such language. The village Gram Panchayat has passed a proposal that allows authorities to punish anyone who uses abusive words referring to someone’s mother or sister. The idea emerged during a programme organised on the occasion of …

Sajad Lone Flags ‘Collective Punishment’ in J&K Police Clearance Row

Published by Parlour News

3 min readSrinagarFeb 19, 2026 05:43 PM IST Speaking in the J&K Assembly, Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone criticised the procedures around providing police verification to residents of Jammu and Kashmir. Lone described the process as having “degenerated into a form of collective punishment. If one person in your family has committed a mistake, then hundreds of youth associated with that family are denied police clearance.” He said that in many cases the youth were born after the death of the person because of whom they are being punished. “Are they not Indians? What will they do now?” He added that even medical graduates were being caught in the net, unable to practise despite years of study. Referring to a case of a man from Baramulla, he said the individual secured a job in Hyderabad but was allegedly denied clearance on the grounds that his uncle was an overground worker. “The reality,” Lone stated, “was that the uncle had himself been killed by an overground militant.” Despite this, the …

‘Humiliating’: Allahabad High Court sets aside placard punishment handed to Noida varsity student

Published by Parlour News

A general view of the High court of Allahabad. File | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto A Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court has set aside a controversial direction issued by a single-Judge Bench mandating a Noida university student to stand at the campus gate for 30 days carrying a placard declaring, “I will never misbehave with any girl”. The Division Bench of Chief Justice Arun Bhansali and Justice Kshitij Shailendra set aside the direction while disposing of a petition filed by the student, calling it “unjustified” and “humiliating” and saying it could cast a “permanent scar” on his character. The student was rusticated by the Noida International University in March 2023, following allegations that he misbehaved with women students from another institution. The student challenged the rustication in the High Court, and on October 29, 2025, a single-Judge Bench of Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery set aside the rustication order but imposed a series of conditions for his reinstatement. Among them was a direction which required the student to stand on the university gate from …

‘It is not a punishment camp’: Sjoerd Marijne on restoring culture and trust in Indian women’s hockey | Hockey News

Published by Webster

Sjoerd Marijne is unambiguous about the task confronting him on his return to India. “To create a unit,” he says plainly. This isn’t the usual, run-of-the-mill cliche coaches often reach for. For the Dutchman, the problem is real. Marijne didn’t publicly lay bare the team’s internal issues, but he also didn’t completely gloss over the state of the dressing room. “I told all the girls, what happened in the past is the past,” Marijne, who began his third stint as the Indian women’s hockey team coach last month, says. “We don’t have to be best friends. We have fun together but also work really hard together. For me, it’s about performance and behavior. I also feel the girls need moments where they have joy and enjoy what they’re doing. It’s not a punishment camp.” Those two lines — ‘we don’t have to be best friends’ and ‘it’s not a punishment camp’ — did not emerge in a vacuum. They are rooted in the fragile team environment that had taken shape under previous coach Harendra Singh. …
