A woman named Neha Rathore was found dead in Noida just a day after marrying her boyfriend, Devendra Singh, against her family's wishes. The 23-year-old was allegedly strangled by her father, Bhanu Rathore, and her brother, Himanshu, who cremated her body to conceal their crime. Neha's family opposed the relationship due to their differing community backgrounds, and her father had previously forbidden her from meeting Singh. After the couple married at an Arya Samaj temple in Ghaziabad on March 11, Bhanu lured Neha back home under the pretense of planning a proper wedding. The police cracked the case within three hours of receiving information about her suspicious death, leading to the arrest of both her father and brother on charges of murder and evidence destruction. Investigators are currently examining the crime scene and reviewing CCTV footage to gather further evidence. 
Published: Mar 13 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a heated political clash, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the DMK's decision to replace the official rupee symbol '₹' with the Tamil letter 'Ru' in the Tamil Nadu Budget 2025-26 documents.

Sitharaman emphasized the rupee symbol's significance in global financial transactions and accused the DMK of disregarding the contributions of Tamil youth. In response, DMK leader Saravanan Annadurai defended the change as a prioritization of Tamil language and culture, amid ongoing tensions over the Centre's three-language policy and concerns about political dominance from the north. The controversy continues to escalate as the DMK and BJP trade barbs in an election year.

Published: Mar 13 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIn a heated exchange, BJP Tamil Nadu President K Annamalai criticized the ruling DMK for replacing the rupee symbol in its budget promotional materials with the Tamil letter 'Ru'. He argued that the DMK, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin, is unaware that the rupee symbol was designed by Udaya Kumar, son of a former DMK MLA, and claimed this action disrespects Tamil culture. Annamalai emphasized that while 'Ru' is commonly used in Tamil, it should not replace the nationally accepted rupee symbol. He accused the DMK of escalating a "language war" against the central government, particularly regarding the contentious National Education Policy, which the DMK argues imposes Hindi on Tamil Nadu. In response, DMK leaders defended their decision as a promotion of Tamil, asserting that there is nothing illegal about it and dismissing the BJP's claims as unfounded.

He highlighted that police have set limits on celebrations coinciding with Holi and the Basanta Utsav, which celebrates spring and was initiated by Rabindranath Tagore.
