‘I got trapped after doing love marriage.’ the husband became the enemy of my life after 16 years of marriage
‘I got trapped after doing love marriage.’ the husband became the enemy of my life in 16 years of marriage, and daily taunts are received; the wife narrates her ordeal
A high-profile case has come to light from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Here a wife has lodged an FIR against her husband. The wife alleges that she had a love marriage 16 years ago. But now the husband has become the enemy of her life. The police registered a case and started investigating the matter. Then the accused husband was arrested and sent to jail.
The case is of Civil Lines. According to Ritika Thapar, who lives in Rameshwaram Apartment here, Dheeraj Thapar, a resident of Vishnupuri, had a love marriage in Arya Samaj temple on 11 February 2008. The marriage was registered on 19 March of the next month. It is alleged that shortly after the marriage, Dheeraj started taunting me that I got trapped after having a love marriage with you. If I had married somewhere else according to my status, I would have gotten a dowry worth crores.
Ritika alleged that Dheeraj started beating me every day. When I informed my mother about this, she organised a ceremony in May 2008 and gave me five lakh rupees, gifts, and jewellery. Even after this, Dheeraj’s behaviour did not change. When I gave birth to a daughter on October 7, 2010, he started taunting me again. When I gave birth to a son on 19 July 2017, I thought that everything would be fine now, but it did not happen. After the birth of a son, my mother once again gave gifts to Dheeraj and his family per their demand.
Ritika has been living separately since 2021
It is alleged that in July 2021, Dheeraj usurped her Stridhan and threw her out of the house. After this, Ritika started living in the Rameshwaram Apartment. It is alleged that on 3 December 2024 at 9:30 pm, Dheeraj entered the apartment and called her down. When she reached downstairs with her two children, Dheeraj started abusing her in front of the children. He threatened to kill her if she did not transfer the flat to him and behaved indecently. While assaulting her, he strangled her, grabbed her head, and hit her on the bonnet of the car, due to which she got seriously injured.
Fight over two flats
According to the Gwaltoli Inspector, Ritika has said that she has two flats in her name. Dheeraj wants Ritika to transfer both her flats in his name. At present, the accused Dheeraj is in jail. Further action against him is underway.

Used Seema Haider and Sachin’s photo
According to the information, Rahul Jain runs a company named Siddhi Vinayak Trade Merchant in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. Both the arrested accused brothers used to work as accountants in this company.

10 Years 47 times theft and this time stole jewellery worth 6 crores. Now given such a sentence that you will spend 4 lives
Thai Women Stole Jewellery 47 Times: This is the most shocking case of theft, which has been brought to the fore. You will be stunned to know about it because here a woman stole not once or twice but 47 times in a jewellery shop. After which the court has sentenced her to 235 years.
Gold needs special care because it can be stolen sometimes. If it is about jewellery, then it is neither safe at home nor in shops; incidents of theft related to it are discussed among people every day. There is a greater risk of theft in shops than in homes because here the customer’s faith will be spoiled later, but before that, the faith of the people working there is shaken first. One such incident has come into discussion among people these days where a woman working in a jewellery shop stole from the shop not once or twice but 47 times.
The report in Pattaya Mail, this case is from Thailand. There was a jewellery shop in the Khon Kaen area, where a woman named Somjit Khumduang was working for 10 years. This woman had won the hearts of all with her work, but for the past few years, she did not have faith in jewellery.
Then stole not once or twice but 47 times
But soon she found an opportunity and stole some goods from the shop. Then, her owner suspected that she was stealing from the shop. Later on, he watched the camera that had been installed in the shop, and he realized that his suspicion was absolutely right. She has stolen things from the shop not one or two times but 47 times by looking for an opportunity.
Two months ago, the shop owner suspected her when a gold necklace fell from her clothes. After which the woman said that it came in her pocket by mistake. However, since she was an old employee, the owner did not suspect her. When this act happened repeatedly, the owner’s suspicion deepened, and he checked the camera. After this, it was revealed that the woman had stolen 5 lakh pounds (more than 6 crore rupees).
The court pronounced this sentence
Surprisingly, even the owner told the woman that if she returned whatever she had stolen, we would not complain to the police. But the woman denied the theft at first. After which the owner handed her over to the police. In police custody, the woman confessed that she used to steal, and by selling it, she used to buy land and valuables for the house.
By creating a Facebook page, she used to post new bikes and jewellery photos and would sell them. After becoming more rigid, the woman returned goods worth 1 crore to the owner. From there, the woman was dragged to court. There, the woman has been sentenced to 235 years of imprisonment. After hearing this judgment, it seems that the court did not want the woman to remain free even in the next birth!
Happy Gurpurab 2024: Celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Legacy
With millions around the world gearing up for the festival of Gurpurab, or Guru Nanak Jayanti, as the birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism—Guru Nanak Dev Ji—is approaching, this occasion celebrates with great enthusiasm, spirituality, and a deep sense of community. Gurpurab 2024 marks this momentous event as a time to reflect on the eternal teachings of Guru Nanak-Teachings that continue to fill hearts with love, kindness, and equality.
What is Gurpur?
Guru Gurpurab is commonly known as Guru Nanak Jayanti and is a highly revered Sikh festival to celebrate the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Born in 1469 AD at Talwandi in current-day Pakistan, the Guru Nanak has been remembered for his revolutionary thoughts on spirituality and social justice and equality. Being the founder of Sikhism and the first among ten Sikh Gurus, Guru Nanak’s life and teachings have influenced the faith of millions over five centuries.
In 2024, the Sikh community will celebrate the 555th Gurpurab, a year particularly auspicious for reflection on the life and legacy of Guru Nanak.
Teachings of Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak’s teachings, as recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib—the sacred scripture of Sikhism—are built on universal love, tolerance, and selfless service. The very heart of his philosophy can be encapsulated within three simple tenets:
Naam Japna: Staying focused on the meditation of God’s name and spiritually keeping oneself attentive.
Kirat Karni: One’s support for a truthful way of life, earning a livelihood with truth and integrity.
Vand Chakna: Charity in distributing one’s goods to others, even in extreme conditions of necessity.
All these teachings get the Sikh towards a compassionate life in humility and moral integrity.
Gurpurab 2024 Celebrations
The rituals of Gurpurab include community work and devotional activities.
Akhand Path: In all gurdwaras (Sikh temples), an uninterrupted reading of the Guru Granth Sahib is held during the week preceding Gurpurab—the Akhand Path—comprising 48 hours. It is part of the ritual of the festival, indicating a seamless bond with the wise divine.
Nagarkirtan: The previous day to Gurpurab is followed by a large and jubilant procession called the Nagarkirtan. Devotees sing devotional songs and carry Nishan Sahib, and Guru Granth Sahib is taken in an ornamented palanquin decorated with flowers. The function is started by Panj Pyare (the five beloved ones) in the accompaniment of traditional music, martial arts, and singing.
Langar (community meal): This would surely be one of the striking features of Gurpurab-Langar, in which devotees prepare free meals from a common kitchen for all visitors. It will signify equality, selflessness, and community service. In this tradition, thousands of meals are expected to be distributed globally by many gurdwaras around the world in 2024 to embrace all walks of life.
Prabhat Pheri (Early Morning Hymns): During the celebration of Gurpurab, one particular unique aspect is that the devotees go house to house with early morning hymns and kirtans before sunrise. The blessed congregation draws good fortune and creates an atmosphere of divine blessings for the day.
Kirtan Darbars: Special congregations are arranged on Gurpurab day itself through Kirtan Darbars, where teachings and hymns of Guru Nanak are sung. Often interspersed with discourses related to his life, teachings, and the relevance of his messages in the present times, it has been so observed.
Relevance of Teachings by Guru Nanak in Today’s World
According to the fast, ever-interlinked lifestyle of today, the voice of Guru Nanak is very alive and spanking relevant. Such a message concerning universal brotherhood, equality, and respect for all faith was really the content of his message, which spoke to the heart of human dignity and shared humanity.
Equality and Social Justice: Guru Nanak believed in equality, asking all to rise above caste, creed, and gender. His teachings challenge societal divisions and call for inclusiveness because that is the very need of the hour when the world is trying to come out of the morass of discrimination and inequality at large.
Environmental Responsibility: Guru Nanak talks of respect for nature. He says that it is the same God who created the earth too. In the 21st century with climate change, this is a great lesson for maintaining a lifestyle that respects and conserves the environment.
Moving from Ritualism to Spirituality: At this stage, it goes without saying that Guru Nanak definitely proved that a personal relationship with God was better than following those superficial rituals. The emphasis on the inner self, magnanimity, and self-awareness is certainly in line with modern trends toward being inwardly peaceful and establishing a meaningful rapport with the divine.
Wishing Someone a Happy Gurpurab
On this auspicious day, wishes like “Happy Gurpurab,” “Guru Nanak Jayanti Di Lakh Lakh Vadhaiyan,” or “Gurpurab Mubarak” are often shared on the occasion. Here are a few meaningful ways to wish friends, family, and loved ones a happy Gurpurab in 2024:
Personal Message: A few warm messages with nicely expressed phrases can depict the teachings of the guru-ji. For example, “May Guru Nanak Dev Ji inspire you to walk on the path of kindness, peace, and wisdom. Happy Gurpurab!”
Social Media Posts: Social media has allowed the birth of posting shares, images, and quotes of Guru Nanak. People use this opportunity of posting verses or quotes across their social media platforms coupled with the imagery from the celebrations to spread the spirit of Gurpurab far and wide.
Community Service: The most important way of commemorating Guru Nanak’s legacy is through seva, which is selfless service. Volunteering for a local charity or taking part in a Langar exemplifies the very essence of Guru Nanak, which is sharing and humility.
Influence Beyond the Sikh Community
Guru Nanak’s influence goes far beyond the Sikh faith. His teachings about compassion, respect, and love have left powerful prints on people’s minds of different religious and cultural backgrounds. Regions, where he spent most of his life—the regions of Punjab, Sindh, and parts of North India—have people from numerous faiths respecting him. His hymns and teachings also find a place in the Guru Granth Sahib, comprising compositions of saint singers belonging to Hindu and Muslim traditions, thereby underscoring the integrated character of his philosophy.
Gurpurab 2024: Congruence and Harmony
In a world fast drifting into social, political, and religious divisions, the teachings of Guru Nanak speak especially powerfully about unity as the rope that binds humanity together. His life presents itself to people as a beacon light, asking them to transcend all these differences and be hugged by a common sense of kinship. Therefore, Gurpurab in 2024 must be an inspiration to remind the world of what Guru Nanak thought about. End.
Gurpurab is way more than just a festival but an action call—a call to tread the right path of righteousness, humility, and service enshrined by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. As families and communities come together for Gurpurab 2024, let’s take some time out and reflect upon some of the ageless lessons of Guru Nanak and find ways to insert them into our lives. Hope everyone’s Gurpurab is blessed and joyful!
Gurpurab Di Lakh Lakh Vadhaiyan! Happy Gurpurab!
