"Sister, I Request You Not To...": Wrestler Vinesh Phogat On Cousin's Tweet

A war of words broke out on Saturday between Phogat cousins Vinesh and Babita with the former asking the latter not to "weaken" the ongoing protest by the wrestlers against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The country's top wrestlers, including Vinesh, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, have been protesting since Sunday, demanding criminal action against Singh over alleged sexual harassment and intimidation.

"If you can't stand for the rights of aggrieved female wrestlers, Babita sister, I request you with folded hands not to weaken our movement. It has taken years for female wrestlers to speak up against their abusers. You are also a woman, try to understand our pain," Vinesh tweeted in Hindi.

Babita had earlier tweeted about Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's visit to Jantar Mantar to meet the protesting wrestlers.

"Priyanka Vadra reached Jantar Mantar with her personal secretary Sandeep Singh to seek justice for women wrestlers, but this person himself has been accused of misbehaving women and insulting a Dalit woman," Babita, who contested and lost in the last Haryana Assembly elections from BJP ticket, said in her tweet.

The Delhi Police Friday registered two FIRs in connection with sexual harassment allegations levelled by women wrestlers against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The first FIR pertains to allegations levelled by a minor which has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act along with relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code concerning outraging modesty.

The second FIR has been registered for carrying out comprehensive investigations into the complaints by adult complainants under relevant IPC sections pertaining to outraging of modesty.

Egypt Slams Netflix For Depicting Cleopatra As Black Woman In New Drama-Documentary

The Egyptian government has accused Netflix of misrepresenting history by casting a Black woman to play Cleopatra, its most famous historical figure, in an upcoming drama-documentary 'Queen Cleopatra'.

The four-part series, which is set to be released on May 10, features Adele James - an actor of mixed heritage - in the lead role. This move has enraged Egyptian experts who insist that the pharaonic leader had "white skin and Hellenistic characteristics". According to The Guardian, the Egyptian government issued a lengthy statement that included opinions from experts that, it said, agree on Cleopatra's skin colour and facial features. 

"The appearance of the heroine in this body is a falsification of Egyptian history and a blatant historical misconception, especially that the film is classified as a documentary and not a drama," the statement read. 

Mostafa Waziri, head of the Supreme Antiquities Council, further said that there was nothing racist in this view as it is motivated by "defending the history of Queen Cleopatra, an important part of the history of Egypt in antiquity".

"Archaeologists and anthropologists should have been referred to when making such kind of documentary and historical films that will remain a witness on civilizations and history of nations," Mr Waziri added, noting that there are many Queen Cleopatra's artefacts and depictions on coins that confirm its true shape and features, which show Queen Cleopatra's Hellenic (Greek) features, in terms of light complexion, drawn nose, and fluffy lips.

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities slammed Netflix's classification of the upcoming productions as a documentary, saying that it "requires those in charge of its production to investigate the accuracy and rely on historical and scientific facts". They argue that the series should instead be reclassified as a drama. 

Meanwhile, Netflix, earlier this week, stated that Adele James' ethnicity is not the focus of the series. "We did intentionally decide to depict her of mixed ethnicity to reflect theories about Cleopatra's possible Egyptian ancestry and the multicultural nature of ancient Egypt, the streaming service giant said, as per the outlet. 

Cleopatra was born in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in 69 BC and became the last queen of a Greek-speaking dynasty founded by Alexander the Great's Macedonian general Ptolemy. She succeeded her father Ptolemy XII in 51 BC and ruled until her death in 30 BC. Afterwards, Egypt fell under Roman domination.

Madhya Pradesh Woman Mauled To Death By Stray Dogs: Cops

A 55-year-old woman was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs at a village in Madhya Pradesh's Seoni district on Saturday, police said. The incident took place at Mundrai village under Kanhiwada police station limits, around 20 km from the district headquarters, an official said.

"A post-mortem conducted on the woman's body revealed that she had sustained deep wounds from animal bites. The doctor who conducted the procedure has said that the woman may have died due to dog bites. No other injury marks were found on the body," Kanhilwada police station in-charge Monis Singh Bais told PTI.

The picture will become clearer once the forensic report arrives, he said.

According to the victim's relative, a pack of stray dogs was around a tree when the woman was heading towards a field at around 7 am on Saturday.

Later, some passersby spotted the dogs eating the body and informed villagers and the Kanhiwada police, he said.

Forest officials were also intimated about the violent attack on the woman.

Seoni's sub-divisional officer of forest Yogesh Patel told PTI that the manner in which the woman's flesh had been eaten, it didn't appear to be an attack by wild animals.

There is no forest in the 5 km radius from the spot of the incident, he said.

Meanwhile, some villagers have alleged that the Seoni Municipal Council caught stray dogs in the city and released them near the village.

Chief Municipal Officer (CMO) of Seoni R K Karveti, however, told PTI that no campaign against stray dogs was carried out in the city recently.
