Flight attendant’s death: Delhi High Court grants bail to in-laws

Delhi High Court

New Delhi | The Delhi High Court Tuesday granted bail to the in-laws of a flight attendant who allegedly committed suicide in July this year.

Justice Mukta Gupta gave the relief to flight attendant Anissia Batra’s parents-in-law R S Singhvi and Sushma Singhvi subject to their furnishing a bond of Rs 50,000. “Bail is allowed,” the court said. Details of the order would be available once it is uploaded on the high court site.

The Singhvis moved the high court after their plea for bail was rejected by the trial court. They surrendered before the police on November 1.

Anissia (39), who was married to Mayank Singhvi for two years, worked with a German airline. She allegedly jumped from the terrace of her house in Panchsheel Park in south Delhi on July 13. Mayank rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead. He was arrested on July 16.

Anissia’s family alleged that her husband physically abused her and often demanded money. The family claimed before the trial court that her death was not suicide but murder. Mayank’s parents were earlier denied anticipatory bail by the high court. Before jumping off the terrace, Anissia sent a message to her husband that she would kill herself, police said earlier.

Mayank, a software engineer in Gurgaon, told the police that they had regular fights due to “compatibility issues”. They had an argument on the day of the incident as well following which she jumped from the terrace, police said. The victim’s family had also given a complaint to police on June 27, saying Mayank would be responsible if anything happens to their daughter, police said.

Congress leader writes to Meghalaya governor, claims persecution of non-tribals

Guwahati: Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Assam Assembly, Debabrata Saikia, on Saturday wrote to Meghalaya Governor Brig. (Dr.) BD Mishra claiming ‘horrific persecution’ of non-tribals in the state over the last few years.
He claimed that the alleged persecution of non-tribals was the fallout of a “series of developments over the past few months”. In his letter, the Congress leader wrote, “A series of developments over the past few months have resulted in the exposure of horrific persecution of non-tribals in Meghalaya over the past few years.”
Saikia claimed that the Meghalaya government had turned a blind eye to the alleged persecution of non-tribals in the state. “With the veil coming off its phobic-driven horrific mistreatment of non-tribals, the government and various organisations are still in a deep state of silence,” the senior Opposition leader said.
Citing a recent report in an English daily, the Congress leader said there was an attack on non-tribals during a recent rally by a ‘tribal-centric organisation’. “As per the report newspaper, the Shillong Times, the protesters had attacked passers-by along the route of the rally while the police remained ‘mute spectators’. It was observed that despite the police presence along the route of the rally, no action was taken against the attackers,” the Congress leader wrote in his letter.

Claiming many other ‘horrific’ incidents took place at the scene of the protest, Saikia wrote, “Many horrific incidents such as vandalism, ill-treatment of women and others were reported from the same incident.”
Further, alleging mistreatment of non-tribals in the state, the Congress leader wrote, “Even after being citizens of India, they are ill-treated in Meghalaya as a third-grade populace. The fear and uncertainty of their lives are still unprotected by the government.”
