India on Saturday lodged a strong protest with the UK over a visit to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) by the British envoy to Islamabad, saying it amounted to an “unacceptable” infringement of the country’s territorial integrity. Jane Marriott, the British envoy in Pakistan, travelled to Mirpur in PoK on January 10 and held several meetings with businesspeople, members of the local community and government officials. The external affairs ministry said in a statement that the Indian side has taken “serious note of the highly objectionable visit” by Marriott and a UK Foreign Office official to PoK. “Such infringement of India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is unacceptable,” the statement said. Foreign secretary Vinay Kwatra lodged a strong protest with Alex Ellis, the British high commissioner in India, on this infringement. Dig Deeper.

The estranged husband of Suchana Seth, the Bengaluru CEO who allegedly killed her son in an apartment in Goa's Candolim, told police that the latter had not allowed him to meet his child for the past five Sundays. Raman also added that divorce proceedings were underway between him and Seth. Venkat Raman, the husband of the murder-accused Bengaluru CEO, was in Indonesia when the crime allegedly took place. Suchana Seth and Venkat Raman tied the knot in November 2010. However, the duo had been living apart since March 2021. According to police, Suchana smothered her son to death before trying to commit suicide by slashing her wrist. She packed the child's corpse in a bag and hired a taxi to go back to Bengaluru but was arrested mid-way by the Goa police in Karnataka's Chitradurga. The accused also underwent a routine medical examination under police supervision.
