San Francisco: The blue bird logo of Twitter was replaced by an image of a shiba inu dog on Monday. This image is commonly known as the Doge meme and is often associated with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, has been known to promote Dogecoin on the platform.

It appears that the recent logo change on Twitter was nothing, but a prank played by the micro-blogging website. The change was initiated by Elon Musk, who shared a meme on Twitter about the altered logo and even posted screenshots of an old conversation where a user had suggested that Musk should buy Twitter and change its logo to a 'doge'. It seems like Musk's sense of humor is still going strong, even when it comes to his business ventures.

Since Monday, Twitter has been filled with a plethora of memes related to the logo alteration.

It is worth noting that the recent logo change on Twitter occurred just a few days after Elon Musk filed a petition in court seeking the dismissal of a $258 billion lawsuit filed against him by Dogecoin investors.

The investors accused Musk of promoting Dogecoin in an illegal pyramid scheme. In February 2021, Musk had tweeted in support of Dogecoin, which caused its value to increase by 44%, according to a report by Market Watch. Similarly, on Monday, the value of Dogecoin surged by 36% after Investor's Business Daily reported the news of Twitter's logo change. It seems that Musk's involvement in the world of cryptocurrency and social media continues to spark reactions and speculation.

 

On Tuesday morning, the official Twitter account of Dogecoin posted a famous photo of the dog that inspired the Doge meme, along with some interesting facts about her. The tweet revealed that the dog's name is Kabosu and she still lives with her owner, Atsuko Sato, in Sakura, Japan. Kabosu was a rescue dog and gained popularity as a meme after Atsuko shared photos of her on her blog in 2010, including the one used for the meme. Kabosu turned 17 years old on November 2 last year, which is quite an impressive feat for a dog. The tweet from Dogecoin's official account sheds light on the origins of the meme and the dog behind it, which has become a symbol of the cryptocurrency.

Jhajjar (PTI): A chartered accountant has been arrested for allegedly killing his pregnant wife by slitting her throat with a pair of scissors and trying to pass it off as a robbery attempt, police said on Wednesday.

According to police, Anshul Dhawan (31) got married to Mehak (27) in September last year. Both worked in Gurugram.

Police received a call on Sunday night reporting that some unidentified people tried to rob Anshul, took his car and kidnapped his wife, SHO Badli, Inspector Suresh said.

When police reached the spot, they found the woman's body near a dry canal with injury marks on her neck, he said.

Suspecting inconsistencies in Anshul's version of events, police took him into custody for interrogation. He confessed that he had killed Mehak with a pair of scissors, wearing gloves, over suspicions about her character, SHO said.

"During his questioning, it came to light that he had pre-planned the murder. His wife worked in a private bank in Gurugram. He had doubts that she talked to her friends, and he did not like it," SHO added. Following the confession, Anshul was arrested on Monday.

Further investigation into the matter is underway, police said.

Mehak's sister, Shruti, told the reporters that the family had doubts that Anshul was involved in the murder. She said, "We want justice; the killer should be hanged. He did not even think that his wife was two months pregnant."

She said on February 15, Anshul came to their house and stayed only for ten minutes and left with Mehal for Gurugram.

Shruti alleged that Anshul had pre-planned the murder.
