A woman, who stepped out of her car during a safari at an animal park in Beijing, was dragged away by a tiger.

A CCTV footage, which recorded  the gruesome incident, has gone viral. There are multiple accounts of the event, with some reports claiming the woman was killed, while others stating she escaped.

The NYT gives a clear picture of the incident that occurred at Badaling Wildlife World in Yanqing County government last Saturday.

During the safari, the woman got down the car and crossed over to get in from the other door. It was when the CCTV caught a Siberian Tiger dragging her away.

Her husband and mother got down the car and chased after the tiger to try to save her. The mother got killed while rescuing her daughter, while the woman herself survived through with serious injuries.

The husband escaped without serious injuries and their child, which stayed put in the car, was also safe.

A few media reports said the couple had a fight, which prompted the woman to switch sides. A report in Beijing Times  refutes this account quoting a family friend, reports NYT.

The Badaling Wildlife World, which allows visitors to drive their own vehicles at a section, reportedly has poor safety record and seen many deaths of visitors.

A security guard who stepped out of a patrol vehicle had been similarly killed by a tiger in 2014.

Leading the discussion was the nation's Oracle, Arnab Goswami.

There were mandatory clerics, bent on a literal interpretation of Islam, and the right-wingers like Mohandas Pai asking for rationality and ban on animal slaughter.

Irrfan Khan stuck to his guns and clarified that he had only called upon Muslims to grasp the true meaning of animal sacrifice and not opposed the ritual  per se. He also pointed out that Indian Muslims in general were opposed to terrorism and working against it.

Two Muslim women Salma and Shameem were thrashed for carrying buffalo meat, by a cow vigilante group at Mandssaur railway station, in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday.

A video shot in a mobile camera shows cow vigilantes beating them up. A small team of policemen are also seen trying to intervene but not before the Muslim women bear the brunt of the mob fury.

The attack on the women may have been planned in advance as the cow vigilantes pounced upon them after they got down a train from Jarwa carrying the meat.

NDTV reported that women were found in possession of 30 kg of buffalo meet. While buffalo slaughter is allowed in MP, selling its meat needs permit, which the two women did not have.

The women were arrested for the offense and produced before a court. The police are yet to arrest cow vigilantes as reportedly no one has complained against them.

State home minister Bhupendra Singh said on Wednesday that a probe would be conducted and nobody would be allowed to take law onto their own hands.

Here is a possible definitive answer to an age-old question: Can you leave your phone charging through the night?

The gist of the rambling answer from Android Authority is, yes, you can. It won’t kill your phone.

The older phones before 2000 would heat up if kept plugged in overnight.

But mobile devices now run on lithium-based batteries and have no problem with that.

They stop charging after the battery reaches its full capacity and start using the connected charger as their primary power source.

So, when you get up in the morning, you start your day with a fully-charged battery.


There is a word of caution nevertheless. Each battery is capable of a finite number of charge-and-discharge cycles.

With each cycle, the capacity of the battery comes down a little. So, to extend the life of the battery, try to keep your battery’s charge level between 40 percent and 80 percent power.

That would mean, try not to leave them for charging overnight.

NDTV senior journalist Barkha Dutt wrote a Facebook post on Wednesday afternoon coming down heavily on Times Now editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami.

Accusing him of seeking to gag the media, she asked if he was a journalist and said she was ashamed to be from same industry as him.

She noted that while accusing a section of media as being pro-Pakistan, Arnab Goswami had been quiet on BJP and PDP alliance and Modi's own outreach to Pakistan.

That made him a chamcha, she said.

Barkha Dutt’s anger was in response to NewsHour programme on Tuesday evening on 17th Kargil anniversary.

Arnab Goswami turned a homage to Kargil war heroes into war-cry against ‘pseudo liberals including a section of journalists,’ as he put it.

These sections have been vilifying army and paramilitary forces operating in hostile circumstances, he noted.


They had been openly echoing the Pakistani line over the last three weeks seeking to paint Wani as an innocent local boy butchered by security forces.


It was the same group that had backed those who chanted Bharat ki bardadi in JNU and had been drumming up campaign to support azadi, he charged.  


Without naming Barkha Dutt, he said some of these pseudo journalists had given away operational details and movements of Indian armed forces when they were taking on terrorists.

Barkha Dutt has faced the charge of compromising with the security of Indian armed forces during the Kargil war with her reporting which revealed the locational details of the troops.


Arnab Goswami asked viewers to take on these people who compromised Indian our national security.
He also threatened to expose one by one in a ‘thought-out manner’ the pro-Pakistan lobby operating in India.


The NewsHour programme also trended #ProPakDovesSilent on social media.



In her response, Barkha Dutt said she did not give a toss for his opinion whether he took her name directly or indirectly.

She said hoped to be someone whose journalism he loathed.

“…The feeling is so utterly mutual that it would kill me to be on the same side of any issue as you,” Barkha Dutt wrote.

The dramatic collapse of the bridge, one of the longest in Nepal,  was caught on a mobile camera by an onlooker.

The footage also has the audio of people shouting to warn those on the other side of the bank about the imminent collapse.

The footage shows the massive bridge collapsing and sinking in the gushing Tinau waters without leaving any trace in a matter of minutes.

Media reports suggest a police search party was in the vicinity of the bridge at the time of collapse and there is no information on its fate following the incident.

Experts say the erosion of land by the flooded Tinau may have caused the collapse of the bridge.

Butwal, a border Nepal town is about 120 km from the Indian city of Gorakpur.

The TinauRiveroriginates at the MahabharatMountains and flows across Nepalbefore entering India to join the Ganga.

The government said at least 58 people have been killed over the last two days, while another 20 people are missing.


The Nepalarmy is racing to evacuate hundreds more from flooded villages as the waters rise.

Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor sparked off a new controversy by sharing an offensive photo on USpresidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday.

The photo shows her clenching her fist to cover her mouth while coughing. If stretched a bit, the photo suggests of oral sex and the caption has Hillary Clinton asking ‘Monica, if it is (done) right’.

The oral sex, Bill Clinton had allegedly received from White House intern Monica Lewinsky, was at the heart of the sex scandal that had rocked his presidency in the 1990s.

Rishi Kapoor’s ‘joke’ did not go down well, with many saying it was misogyny and slamming him for being a male chauvinist.

Though he stuck to his guns saying it was his forum and his prerogative to comment, Rishi Kapoor protested that many were calling him drunk.
