<p>A couple from northern India's Uttar Pradesh, identified as Saurabh Babbar (35) and his wife Mona, allegedly died by suicide in Uttarakhand's Haridwar, due to mounting financial debts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident came to light after the couple sent a WhatsApp message to their family on August 10,&nbsp;describing their intent and decision for self-harm, according to local police.</p>

<p>The husband's body was found on the banks of the Ganga River near Jamalpur Khurd village in the Ranipur Kotwali area on Monday (August 12) morning. The efforts to locate his wife were ongoing at the time of filing this report.</p>

<p>In Haridwar, Uttarakhand, a five-year-old boy battling blood cancer lost his life after being immersed in the icy Ganga river by his parents and relatives in a desperate bid for a miraculous cure.</p>

<p>The distressing episode unfolded at Har ki Pauri, where the young boy from Delhi was submerged in the freezing river during the cruel winter conditions prevailing in North India.</p>

<p>The family, grappling with the child's blood and bone cancer diagnosis, resorted to this desperate measure in the belief of a divine intervention.</p>

<h2><strong>Tragic video footage emerges</strong></h2>

<p>A chilling video captured the heartbreaking act, showing a woman, purportedly the boy's aunt, submerging him in the river for a brief period.

<h2><strong>What is a shelf cloud formation?</strong></h2>

<p>The meteorological phenomenon known as ‘shelf cloud’, as the name suggests is a formation of large shelf-like clouds which, according to an Australian weather app, Weatherzone, form either at the forefront of a thunderstorm or along the boundary of a cold front.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shelf clouds typically appear as a broad arc across the sky and are characterised by a swirling mass of clouds. Additionally, while the edge of the cloud is typically well-defined it can also sometimes appear to be rotating horizontally.</p>

<h2><strong>What does this cloud formation indicate?</strong></h2>

<p>Despite their rather intimidating appearance, shelf clouds are not an indication of tornadoes or severe storms but are rather produced by thunderstorms and preceded by a rush of dry and cold air ahead of the cloud.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cloud formation is also said to be an indication of important weather changes, especially during the thunderstorms’ approach and in some cases also brings heavy rain, lightning and large hail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Therefore, while you can admire the appearance of the cloud formation from afar, it is best to seek shelter before it gets too close.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How are shelf clouds formed?</strong></h2>

<p>Shelf clouds form when cold and dense air is pushed by the wind into a warmer air mass. The rush of cold air often occurs in a thunderstorm’s downdraught, when the cold air rushes towards the ground and spreads out to create a gust front, as per Weatherzone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This also comes as North Indian states are grappling with heavy rains over the last couple of days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), on Tuesday also issued a ‘red alert’ for Uttarakhand and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as parts of the two states may witness heavy to very heavy rainfall.&nbsp;<br />

India: Video shows ‘Doomsday’ shelf cloud formation over Haridwar. What is it?

<p>The protesting wrestlers led by Bajrang Punia and&nbsp;Sakshi Malik are making the headlines with each passing day. After filing First Information Reports (FIRs) against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI)&nbsp;chief Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan over&nbsp;sexual harassment allegations,&nbsp;they have time and again called for his arrest. The investigations are still on. On Sunday (May 28), the protesting wrestlers marched towards the new parliament on the day of its inauguration for justice. However, they were detained by the Delhi Police.</p>

<p>As a result, Bajrang &amp; Co. decided to immerse their medals in the holy river Ganges in the city of Haridwar on Tuesday (May 31) but backed&nbsp;out later. On Friday (June 02), India's 1983 World Cup winning team also reacted to the wrestlers' protest and urged them not to throw their medals in the Ganges.</p>

<h2><strong>‘Those medals have involved years of effort, sacrifice, determination and grit’&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>a statement from the Kapil Dev-led 1983 World Cup-winning team&nbsp;said, "We are distressed and disturbed at the unseemly visuals of our champion wrestlers being manhandled. We are also most concerned that they are thinking of dumping their hard-earned medals into river Ganga. Those medals have involved years of effort, sacrifice, determination and grit and are not only their own but the nation's pride and joy. We urge them not to take any hasty decision in this matter and also fervently hope that their grievances are heard and resolved quickly. Let the law of the land prevail."</p>
