Weighing in on the much-debated topic of work-life balance and putting in more working hours as suggested by some corporate leaders in the recent past, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said he believed in the quality of work and not the quantity. Addressing the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 here in the national capital, Anand Mahindra, said that the ongoing debate was wrong because it emphasises on quantity of working hours. "I have huge respect for Narayana Murthy (founder of Infosys) and others. So let me not get this wrong, of course. But I have to say something, I think this debate is in the wrong direction," Anand Mahindra told the youth. "My point is we have to focus on the quality of work, not on the quantity of work. So it's not about 48, 40 hours, it's not about 70 hours, it's not about 90 hours," Anand Mahindra said. He said that it depends on the output of the work. "What output are you doing even if it's 10 hour...
A 22-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman were allegedly killed by her family, who later tried to stage the murders as suicide, in a suspected case of hate crime in Uttar Pradesh's Lalitpur district on New Year's Eve, police said on Monday.
The woman's father, mother and uncle have been arrested and a detailed investigation is underway, the police added.
The victims were identified as Mithun Kushwaha and Kamini Sahu.
The incident took place in Bigha village in Jakhaura area, under Lalitpur police station.
According to Lalitpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Muhammad Mushtaq, Sahu's family did not approve of her relationship with Kushwaha. Both Sahu and Kushwaha's families did not want the two to be together.
A panchayat was earlier held, where Kushwaha was directed to stay away from the village till Sahu got married. While Kushwaha began living with his uncle outside the village, he would discreetly visit Sahu at her house late at night, Mr Mushtaq said.
Sahu's family was aware of Kushwaha's frequent visits and knew he would turn up at their house on the midnight of January 1, to celebrate his partner's birthday.
As Kushwaha visited Sahu at midnight on New Year, the latter's family caught him and tied his hands. They forced him to drink poison and then strangled him, Mr Mushtaq said.
After Sahu protested and threatened to report the murder to the police, her family forced her to drink poison and strangled her.
In a bid to mislead the police, the woman's family hung the man's body from a tree, to portray it as a suicide. They dumped the woman's body behind their house, the SP said.
On the morning of January 1, the officer added, the woman's family pretended that she went missing and began a search for her, along with the villagers. Chaos erupted after the villagers spotted the two bodies.
Police said they initially suspected it to be a case of suicide and sent the bodies for a post-mortem.
"The post mortem reports, however, revealed that they were strangled to death. The woman's family tried to stage the murders as suicides. Three people have been arrested. They are the woman's father Sunil Sahu, her mother Ramdevi Sahu and her uncle Deshraj Sahu," the SP said.
