  • Mystery Service Charges, Surprise Ad Placements”: Restaurant Owner Shares Reason For Quitting Zomato

    Social media users supported the restaurant owner in the comments section. Read on for details.

    Zomato reacted to the post and asked Manish to share his restaurant ID for the team to contact him.

    Here’s how social media users reacted: 

    “Even I’m facing issues, whereas I’ve seen big brands’ payouts with 0 charges for growth and ads, I don’t know how their deal works with Zomato, maybe they pay separately,” wrote one

    “Totally support your move. The aggregators gouge you severely in the name of access to the marketplace,” commented another. 

    “It was bound to happen, Zomato and Swiggy steal from both consumers and restaurants.  Have been on both sides,” shared an individual. 

    “Surprise ad placements without consent are really a menace from Zomato. The Zomato account managers just start any ad or any discount without asking the restaurant, the fees of which get deducted from the payouts. Very hard to earn from Zomato,” read a critical remark.

  • Viral Now: Wife Pranks Husband To Get Chips, His Reaction Wins Hearts

    Viral Video: A wife decided to trick her husband into getting snacks from the kitchen so that she wouldn’t have to get up. His response has people calling him a “green flag” online.

    A wife’s snack prank on her husband is taking social media by storm. Rather than her action, it is her husband’s response that has got many people talking. The now-viral video was posted by Sheena Melwani. The clip begins with her seated on a couch and calling up her husband on his phone. The ringtone rings from another room, and we hear him off-camera saying that he’s pausing whatever they were watching. As he gets up to take the call, Sheena mischievously laughs at the camera.

    Her husband picks up the call, and she tells him, “Can you bring chips when you come back?” He starts laughing at what she has done. “You called me in the kitchen to bring you chips?” he says, as realisation dawns. He calls her prank “Brilliant” and agrees to bring the snack to her. “When you lose, you lose. You take it like a champ.” Sheena continues grinning. Still in the other room, her husband asks her, What chips do you want? How many do you want? I’ll go to the grocery store barefoot, even. This is the smartest thing you’ve ever come up with. This is amazing. I’m cooking lunch and dinner for tomorrow!” Sheena laughs at his words.
    Here’s how Instagram users reacted in the comments section:
    Green flags and hearts for this guy!!”

    “How did his reaction end up being funnier than the actual prank?”

    “Lmao so impressed he assigned himself house chores for the next few days.”

    “He was so impressed, he’s going to be using that trick on the kids all the time now.”

    “OMG I wasn’t expecting his response to be even better.”

    “Love a man who gives credit where credit is due!!”

    “The best possible response. He took it like a champ.”

    “Love how he embraces his defeat.”

    “‘I’ll go to the grocery store barefoot even.’- Gets me.”

    “His reaction was awesome!! Love the positivity and lightheartedness.”

    “If nobody is going to comment on how he has the original theme from Hockey Night in Canada as a ringtone. That is an absolute elbows-up win.”

  • Pakistani Influencer Sana Yousaf Shot Dead By Man She Rejected “Again And Again”

    Sana Yousaf was killed on June 2 in front of her mother and aunt at her Islamabad home, police said

    Pakistani social media influencer Sana Yousaf was shot dead at her home in Islamabad by a man she rejected “again and again”, authorities said. The teenager, who celebrated her 17th birthday on May 29, was killed on June 2 in front of her mother and aunt.

    Islamabad Police on Monday arrested the main suspect, 22-year-old Umar Hayat, a resident of Faisalabad, around 320 km from the capital.

    “A monster, cold-blooded murderer is now in the law’s grip,” said Islamabad Inspector General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi at a press conference.

    He said Hayat tried to contact Ms Yousaf persistently but was “rejected by her again and again.”

    The suspect wanted to “become friends” with Ms Yousaf and made repeated attempts to connect with her, Mr Rizvi said.

    On the day of the murder, Umar Hayat made an attempt to meet Ms Yousaf for several hours but failed. After multiple rejections and no response, he forcefully entered her home and shot her, police said.

    “First, it was a cellular rejection. Now, it was a physical mode of rejection,” Mr Rizvi said.

    The First Information Report (FIR) filed by Ms Yousaf’s mother says the shooter barged in with a pistol around 5 pm and shot the 17-year-old at point-blank range. Two bullets struck her in the chest. She was rushed to the hospital but could not be revived.

    According to police, Umar Hayat completed only his matriculation and came from a lower-middle-income background with “no source of income.” Investigators say he took Ms Yousaf’s mobile phone with him after the shooting, likely in an attempt to erase evidence.

    “Attempts were made to give the incident another angle,” Mr Rizvi added, “even though the aim of taking the mobile was to wipe out the clues.”

    Both the phone and the murder weapon were later recovered.

    Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi confirmed on X that the accused confessed to the murder and that the weapon had been found.

    Earlier reports speculated the shooting was carried out by a relative or a guest, and may have been a case of dishonour killing. Police soon ruled out that angle. “It was a blind murder; there were no leads, and things were not clear,” Mr Rizvi said, describing the probe as “very challenging.”

    He said the suspect’s arrest followed multiple search operations, three in Islamabad and eight across other cities.

  • RCB Criticised For “Inhuman” Celebrations As Stampedes Cause 11 Deaths

    Fans rushed to social media to ask why the celebrations inside continued while people were fighting for their lives.

    The celebrations for the first-ever IPL victory of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) turned tragic on Wednesday with over 50 fans injured and falling sick, and 11 feared killed following a stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium here. The incident occurred while fans were attending the celebration event for the RCB team lifting the IPL 2025 trophy. Fans rushed to social media to ask why the celebrations inside continued while people were fighting for their lives.

    “Unbelievable! Victory celebration broadcast of RCB parade continues. No mention of stampede. NOT DONE,” read a post on X.

    “1 parade, 0 brains, & now 7 funerals. What kind of idiots plans a mass celebration without barricades, without strategy? This isn’t a celebration gone wrong, this is an administration that went brain-dead,” posted a user on ‘X’

    “The most gut-wrenching aspect of the #ChinnaswamyStadium stampede is the shocking apathy shown—celebrations continued as bodies lay lifeless. Where is our humanity? These young Kannadigas died for nothing, without even respect in death. It’s disgraceful, inhuman, and unforgivable. Those responsible must be named, shamed, and held criminally accountable.,” posted another user.

    The authorities have confirmed that the bodies of two persons are at Bowring Hospital and that of four others at Vaidehi Hospital. Six persons are being treated in the ICU of the Vaidehi Hospital and three are admitted to the ICU. Sources confirmed the death of other two persons.

    The stampede took place when thousands of fans attempted to enter the stadium in a hurry from various gates. Police at the scene transported the injured to ambulances and shifted them to the nearby Bowring Hospital.

    Police stated that the ambulances were unable to move quickly to the hospital due to the overcrowding on the roads.

    The government of Karnataka had earlier cancelled the victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, citing security reasons.
