New Delhi 
After the tragic suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, a Gurugram-based UX designer took to LinkedIn to allege a similar ordeal involving his wife. The man claimed that his wife harassed him via fake dowry and domestic violence accusations.
The man said he and his wife started living separately just six months after the marriage and now his wife, who is an analyst, is demanding ₹150,000 as monthly maintenance and ₹10 million as compensation. 
<h2>How it started</h2>
In the man's telling, the couple got married in May 2023 in Delhi but soon he lost his job. In the meantime, the couple found out they were expecting their first baby after which his wife started pressuring him to get a job.

“After a few days, I got to know that I was going to become a father, but my wife forced me to get a job as soon as possible, anywhere in the world,” the man claimed on LinkedIn. 
After five months of intense search, he got a job in Bengaluru in November 2023. But his wife refused to move to the south Indian city with him citing her pregnancy and instead went to her parents' house. 
“She promised to join me later but refused when I came to Delhi in December 2023 to bring her back,” the man said. 
He further claimed that his wife and her parents started being aggressive towards him and asking him to leave the job in Bengaluru. “Along with my 73-year-old mother, I faced threats and abuse,” the man said.
He said his wife lodged a fake case against him in Delhi and Bengaluru.
The man claimed his wife earns ₹80,000 monthly but still demands big amounts in compensation. He even alleged that she and her family are not letting him meet his 10-month-old son. 
“Knowing that my son is my weakness, she began using him against me. Whenever I tried to video call to see my son, she refused, saying the child was asleep,” the man said in the post.

He further added, “If I fail to call her or visit her in Delhi, her family accuses me of abandoning her and my child. I requested her to join me in Bengaluru until I secure a job in Delhi, but she refused". 
“When she realised that her manipulations were not working, she filed a false domestic violence case against me,” the man claimed in the post. 
He further alleged that it's been 18 months since their marriage and for 13 months they have been living separately. Still, his wife has not filed for a divorce as she might not be able to get what she has been demanding in terms of money, he claimed.

After facing spine pain Kristin Fritz sought help from a rheumatologist recommended by her doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a decade ago.

During her appointments with Dr. Derrick Todd, Fritz initially experienced a normal consultation process. However, as the session progressed, she recounted feeling uncomfortable as Todd aggressively groped her breasts, suggesting he took pleasure in the act.

It wasn't until last year, when contacted by the hospital regarding Todd, that she understood the violation. She later discovered she was not alone.

“I feel so dishonored,” she told The Associated Press. “I feel so ashamed of myself for not knowing better in the moment to do anything and to be like, yeah, this did feel wrong and I should tell somebody.”

It is worth mentioning that she is one of more than 200 women and several men who have joined a consolidated lawsuit against Todd in Massachusetts’ Suffolk Superior Court.

The lawsuit, which combines multiple filings from the previous year, accuses Todd of subjecting patients to unnecessary pelvic floor therapy, breast examinations, testicular examinations, and rectal examinations.

The lawsuit alleges that Todd, a former rheumatologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital specialising in treating inflammatory conditions of muscles, joints, and bones, began abusing patients in 2010. It further accuses several dozen other defendants, including Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and Charles River Medical Associates, of being aware of the abuse and failing to intervene.

William Thompson of Lubin &amp; Meyer, Boston-based firm that represents most of the victims, described the case as remarkable due to the significant number of individuals who were exploited by him. Thompson also questioned how such misconduct could persist within the hospital and practice group for so long without detection or intervention.

Anthony Abeln, Todd's lawyer, stated that Todd would not litigate this matter in the media, but he will defend his care as the case progresses through the Massachusetts Superior Court system.

Initially the hospital received anonymous complaint about Todd that prompted an internal investigation. He was asked not to conduct sensitive examinations without a chaperone. In June, he was placed on administrative leave and later terminated.

The hospital reported the incident to the Department of Public Health, the state Board of Registration in Medicine, law enforcement, and Todd's current and former patients.

In September, Todd voluntarily agreed with the Board of Registration in Medicine to cease practicing medicine nationwide. While no criminal charges have been filed against Todd.

Thompson noted that victims of the abuse ranged in age from teenagers to women in their 60s.&nbsp;The lawsuit alleged Todd would gain their confidence, go beyond treating their rheumatic diseases and become their only doctor while conducting invasive, unnecessary exams.

For Fritz&nbsp;the experience will stay with her for the rest of her life. But she takes solace in the fact that Todd is already paying a price for his actions.

Kashmiri activist and journalist Yana Mir, known for her recent viral video titled 'I am not Malala,' alleged mistreatment by customs officials at Delhi Airport upon her return from London. However, authorities denied these claims, sparking a controversy.

In a social media post, Mir detailed her experience, stating that customs officials subjected her to scrutiny, leaving her luggage open and scanning it as if she were involved in smuggling. She expressed frustration at being questioned about luxury items and facing scrutiny reminiscent of a criminal interrogation.

“Madam scan your bag, open your bag, why do you have Louis Vuitton shopping bags? Did you pay for them? Where are the bills???? What Londoners think of me: INDIAN MEDIA WARRIOR. What Delhi customs thinks of me: Brand Smuggler,” wrote Mir alongside a video she shared from the airport.

<h2>Airport encounter unfolds</h2>

Mir's video from the airport captures her frustration, with her questioning the necessity of such scrutiny, particularly at an early hour. She voices embarrassment over the situation, emphasising the discomfort caused by the officials' actions.

“Why are you making me do this at 5 in the morning? Have you told them (your team) what I have done and come? This is embarrassing for me,” Mir can be heard saying in the video.

In response, Delhi Customs shared surveillance footage contradicting Mir's claims, asserting that her luggage underwent routine scanning in accordance with international passenger protocols. The post emphasised the staff's professionalism and courteous behaviour, challenging Mir's portrayal of events.

“Bag scanning of international passengers is done routinely. While other passengers put their luggage inside the scanner without any fuss. Ms. Yana Mir felt needlessly offended. The staff remained courteous throughout. Privileges are not above the law,” the post read.

E-commerce giant eBay has reached a settlement, agreeing to pay a $3 million criminal penalty in connection with a disturbing harassment and stalking case against a Massachusetts couple, reported CBS News.

The company faced criminal charges, including stalking, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed the details of eBay's egregious conduct and the ensuing legal actions.

The victims, Ina and David Steiner, endured threats and unsettling deliveries, including cockroaches, live spiders, a funeral wreath, and a bloody pig mask, in August 2019.

eBay's former Senior Director of Safety and Security, Jim Baugh, and six other members of eBay's security team were implicated in targeting the couple due to their involvement in publishing a newsletter critical of eBay's practices.

<h2>Motivation behind the campaign</h2>

Executives at eBay were discontent with the newsletter's tone and content.

Between August 5, 2019, and August 23, 2019, eBay's security team, including Baugh, orchestrated a harassment campaign to intimidate the Steiners and influence the newsletter's reporting.

The DOJ highlighted the disturbing tactics employed, ranging from sending ominous deliveries to the victims' homes to surveilling them, making threats, and even creating Craigslist posts inviting sexual encounters at their residence.

eBay admitted to the orchestrated campaign and terminated all employees involved after an internal investigation.

The company, through an independent special committee, apologised to the victims and emphasised its commitment to high standards of conduct. eBay cooperated with law enforcement authorities throughout the investigation.

E-commerce giant eBay has reached a settlement, agreeing to pay a $3 million criminal penalty in connection with a disturbing harassment and stalking case against a Massachusetts couple, reported CBS News.

E-commerce giant eBay has reached a settlement, agreeing to pay a $3 million criminal penalty in connection with a disturbing harassment and stalking case against a Massachusetts couple, reported CBS News. The company faced criminal charges, including stalking, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed the details of eBay's egregious conduct and the ensuing legal actions. The victims, Ina and David Steiner, endured threats and unsettling deliveries, including cockroaches, live spiders, a funeral wreath, and a bloody pig mask, in August 2019. eBay's former Senior Director of Safety and Security, Jim Baugh, and six other members of eBay's security team were implicated in targeting the couple due to their involvement in publishing a newsletter critical of eBay's practices.

Between August 5, 2019, and August 23, 2019, eBay's security team, including Baugh, orchestrated a harassment campaign to intimidate the Steiners and influence the newsletter's reporting. The DOJ highlighted the disturbing tactics employed, ranging from sending ominous deliveries to the victims' homes to surveilling them, making threats, and even creating Craigslist posts inviting sexual encounters at their residence. eBay admitted to the orchestrated campaign and terminated all employees involved after an internal investigation. The company, through an independent special committee, apologised to the victims and emphasised its commitment to high standards of conduct. eBay cooperated with law enforcement authorities throughout the investigation.

eBay agrees to $3mn settlement following harassment, stalking campaign against US couple

A 52-year-old man from Texas, Lee Carter, was taken into custody for the abduction of a woman five years ago, during her pregnancy, and subsequently holding her captive. The charges against him include aggravated kidnapping.

The victim recounts her encounter with Carter, a rapper known as Viper, about four or five years ago. Back then, she was pregnant and seeking support while panhandling along Almeda Genoa. Viper&nbsp;initially gave her a dollar, but later came back and invited her to join him in his car if she needed assistance.

The woman was discovered confined in a garage linked to Carter's Houston residence by law enforcement. As per documents revealed on 7 April 2023, the Houston Police responded to an ongoing kidnapping situation at 5251 Perry Street, where they detected a voice coming from a garage.

The victim informed the police that she had been abducted approximately four or five years earlier while pregnant and soliciting on the street.

As per the complaint, Carter initially approached the woman to offer her $1 and after a while returned, asking if she needed help. Subsequently, he instructed her to enter his car. Despite feeling "vulnerable" and going "against her better judgment," she complied and got into his vehicle.

Upon reaching Carter's residence, the woman claimed she was confined inside his garage. From that point onward, Carter allegedly forced her into consuming drugs and engaging in sexual acts with him. Police reports state that he provided only "chips and snacks" for sustenance.

The victim somehow gained access to Carter's laptop and utilized the Text Now application to reach out to the police. She detailed her attempts to escape earlier by breaking a window. Although she was initially taken to a hospital, Carter retrieved her from there and returned her to his residence.

The woman managed to gain entry to Carter's laptop and utilised the Text Now application to contact the police. In her communication, she outlined her previous efforts to escape, including breaking a window. Despite initially being taken to a hospital, Carter intervened and brought her back to his residence.

The police reported she hadn't showered in the preceding two months. In the garage, there was&nbsp;an improvised toilet without flushing capabilities and a mattress stained with vomit&nbsp;as detailed in the complaint.

The details surrounding the outcome of the woman's pregnancy remain unclear. Carter was apprehended at a motel and charged in Harris County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Before the commencement of the much-awaited Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, every athlete is pushing himself, or herself, in final training sessions to return with a medal. While preparations are in full swing for the sporting personalities before the Birmingham 2022 edition kicks off, on July 29 (Friday), India's boxer Lovlina Borgohain has caught everyone's attention by making a sensational claim.

On Monday (July 25), the 24-year-old Lovlina — who won a bronze medal in Tokyo 2020 — alleged mental harassment and claimed that her coach is denied entry to the CWG 2022. Taking to her official Twitter handle, she penned a lengthy note for one and all.

“It is with a lot of sadness that I say that I have been experiencing a lot of harassment,” Borgohain said in a post shared on the social media platform on Monday. "Every time my coaches who helped me win a medal at the Olympics, have been removed from my training process and competition. One of these coaches, Sandhya Gurung ji, is also a Dronacharya awardee. Despite thousands of requests, they are always allowed late for my training. This hampers my training and puts me through a lot of hardships and mental harassment," she asserted.

“Now, my coach Sandhya Gurung ji is out of the Commonwealth Village as she is not allowed entry and my training has been brought to a halt eight days before the Games. My other coach has been sent back to India, despite me requesting multiple times. I don’t understand how I am supposed to focus on my game. This situation ruined my performance during the last world championships also. I don’t want this politics to ruin my Commonwealth Games too. I hope I can break through this politics and win a medal for my country. Jai Hind," added Lovlina.

It remains to be seen if the concerned authorities take the necessary action in this regard and put an end to all problems for Lovlina. The young boxer had ended with an elusive bronze medal in Tokyo Olympic Games (69kg), after losing her semi-final match to reigning World Champion and top seed Busenaz Surmeneli in the women’s welterweight division. Only the third Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal, Lovlina will like to sort out her issues and have a memorable campaign in the upcoming CWG 2022 edition. Her campaign starts on July 30, in the 70kg category.

Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain alleges mental harassment, says coach denied entry at CWG 2022 village

After being questioned on the road for 30 minutes in Peshawar by <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/indian-diplomats-in-pakistan-harassed-again-questioned-for-nearly-half-an-hour-186781">Pakistani security agencies,</a> another incident of harassment of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/harassment-of-indian-diplomats-returns-in-islamabad-185684">Indian diplomats</a> in Pakistan has come to fore.

This time electricity was cut for four hours at the residence of the second secretary in Islamabad on 25th December causing inconvenience to the family members of the diplomat along with kids.

This the first time that family members of Indian diplomats have been impacted by the ongoing harassment of Indian diplomats. The problem is compounded by the fact that it is peak winter in the Pakistani capital which is nestled in the foothills of Himalayas.&nbsp;

The power was cut for four hours from 7 am to 10.45 am and the matter was raised with Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).

WAPDA is the government-owned public utility which maintains power and water in Pakistan. The diplomat also made a telephonic complaint with WAPDA. It may be noted that there was no electrical fault at the residence and power supply was cut off only at his residence.

India has raised the matter with Islamabad with a note verbale being sent on December 27. India asked the Pakistani foreign ministry to "direct the relevant authorities to ensure that such incident do not recur". This is not for the first time electricity is cut at the house of Indian diplomats in Islamabad this month.

This is the 3rd major incidents of harassment of Indian diplomats reported. On&nbsp;December 10 someone tried to enter in the house of an Indian diplomat, on December 21 Indian High commission team was harassed in Peshawar on a road for 30 minutes. &nbsp;

The Indian officials were returning from Qissa Khwani Bazar and nearby places to Hotel pearl continental when their vehicle was stopped by 2 agency officials who were following them on a motorbike. &nbsp;

Other instances of harassment include no gas connection in new residences, hostile questioning of guests at receptions and internet being cut. WION was the first to report on the Indian diplomats being harassed in Pakistan earlier this month.

Pakistani side has also reported issues with gas and water suppliers being barred for 6 days to Pakistani staff in its mission in Delhi. Sources on the Indian side speaking to WION have said, "we leave up to you to decide who is harassing who. Our side facing issues while Pakistani diplomats are living comfortably".

In March of 2018, Indian and Pakistani diplomats had reported harassment and after weeks of talking at a higher level, both sides agreed to resolve the matter.

On March 30, 2018, India and Pakistan issued press statements saying they have mutually agreed to resolve matters related to the treatment of diplomats in line with the 1992 Code of Conduct for the treatment of diplomatic/consular personnel in India and Pakistan.&nbsp;

The functioning of diplomatic missions between India and Pakistan is governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 and the bilateral Code of Conduct signed by the two countries in 1992.

India, Pakistan code of conduct of 1992 says safety and security of the premises of diplomatic personnel, their families shall be respected and protected. It also says intrusive and aggressive surveillance such as verbal and physical harassment shall not be allowed.
