TikTok reunites Tamil Nadu woman with missing husband
Chennai, July 3: You do not actually need a tattoo on your left hand to match with a missing family member who was lost in Kumbh Mela years ago. In the digital era, even Chinese short video-messaging app TikTok can help you reunite with your lost hubby.
In an interesting chain of events, a mother of two kids from Villupuram district in Tamil Nadu - anxiously waiting for his husband Suresh who ran away almost three years back - spotted him dancing in one of the 15-second videos on TikTok.
Jayaprada, who had filed an FIR, was in a state of numbness when she saw Suresh dancing in the TikTok video which was showed to her by one of her relatives.
She immediately approached the Villupuram police station and shared the video with the police personal on duty, according to local reports.
The cops located Suresh, a native of Krishnagiri, in Hosur city in the state, who said he ran away in 2016 owing to family differences.
After being counselled by the police, Suresh finally agreed to return to his wife and two kids.
The good news comes on the heels of a 24-year old mother of two children committing suicide in Tamil Nadu after she was scolded by her husband and prevented from using TikTok.
Anitha, recorded herself as she drank poison and then sent the video via WhatsApp to her husband, who was in Singapore.
According to media reports, Anitha's husband Pazhanivel did not appreciate his wife's TikTok addiction and had asked her to quit the habit.
Owned by Chinese company ByteDance, the short video-sharing platform has over 200 million users in India.

What is Iran’s 10-point plan? Key demands ahead of US talks in Islamabad
Tehran/Islamabad: Iran has outlined a 10-point plan as the basis for upcoming talks with the United States, expected to begin in Islamabad on April 11, according to a statement from the Iranian Supreme National Security Council.
The plan lays out Tehran’s key political, military and economic demands, and is being seen as a framework for negotiations following the recent escalation in the region.
Strait of Hormuz at the centre
A major focus of the plan is the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Iran has proposed “controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces,” which it says would give the country a unique economic and geopolitical position.
The plan also calls for the “establishment of a safe transit protocol” in the Strait that would guarantee Iran’s dominance under an agreed mechanism.
Call to end conflict
Iran has demanded “the necessity of ending the war against all elements of the axis of resistance,” signalling its expectation that hostilities should stop not only in Iran but also involving allied groups in the region.
US troop withdrawal
Another key demand is the “withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region,” indicating Tehran’s long-standing position against American military presence in West Asia.
Sanctions relief and compensation
The plan places strong emphasis on economic measures. It calls for “full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates,” along with “the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council.”
It also seeks “the release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad,” which have been a major point of contention for years.
Binding global guarantee
Finally, Iran has demanded that all these terms be formally recognised through “a binding Security Council resolution,” suggesting it wants international legal backing to ensure enforcement.
What this means
The 10-point plan reflects Iran’s broader push for security guarantees, economic relief and regional influence. The upcoming talks in Islamabad are expected to test how far both sides are willing to negotiate on these demands.
