Gurugram woman killed by parents, brother over inter-caste marriage: Cops

-

In a suspected case of honour killing, a 22-year-old woman was allegedly strangled to death by her parents and brother in Gurugram for marrying a man from another caste against the family’s wishes, police said on Friday.

According to the police, the trio were arrested from their village in Jhajjar district on Friday and sent to two-day police custody. The woman was identified as Anjali, a resident of Surheti village. She married Sandeep, who hails from the same village and works at a pub, in December last year. They were living in a rented flat in Sector 102.

According to a complaint lodged by Sandeep, Anjali was killed by her parents and brother on Thursday when he had gone out and her body was cremated in their native village in a bid to destroy evidence.

At about 1 pm on Thursday, one of Sandeep’s friends called him and told him that his wife Anjali had died and her family members were performing her last rites in village Surheti.

“After getting information when I reached the flat, I found the flat locked. My wife Anjali was murdered by her father, mother, brother and her brother’s wife and her body was burnt,” he alleged in his complaint.

Following the complaint, an FIR was registered against all four accused under sections 302 (murder), 201 (hiding evidence), 34 (common intention) of the IPC at Rajendra park police station on Thursday evening.

Anjali’s father Kuldeep (44), mother Rinki (42) and brother Kunal (20) were arrested on Friday, the police said.

Kuldeep told police during interrogation that his daughter married without their consent, his family was not happy about it and decided to kill Anjali. As part of the plan, his son Kunal went with his wife to live with Anjali at her flat some time ago.

On Thursday when Sandeep went to his sister’s house and Kunal’s wife went to work, the trio “strangled her to death”, the police said.

“We are also probing the role of the wife of accused Kunal,” a police officer said.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
