The Uttar Pradesh Police have taken a dim view and directed the cyber cell to initiate action against Urban Dictionary for posting a demeaning definition of former Chief Minister Mayawati. This was after angry netizens trended #SuspendUrbanDictionary on Twitter demanding action against the website.
Urban Dictionary had posted a tweet explaining the definition of Mayawati. Its tweet read, “Mayawati, An unmarried pornstar. A woman who can do everything for power. Kanshi Ram’s secret wife and ex-girlfriend of Mulayam Singh.”
No sooner did Urban Dictionary share the objectionable tweet, netizens began to demand action against the website by using hashtag #SuspendUrbanDictionary.
The UP Police took note of the development and directed its cyber cell to initiate action against Urban Dictionary. Its tweet read, “ADG Cyber Crime, UPPolice has been directed to immediately register an FIR against @urbandictionary for the derogatory & demeaning tweet. @TwitterIndia is being notified for action against the handle at their end.”
Earlier, Urban Dictionary had defined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as a ‘conman who tricked people his friends to come to power.’ It had written, ”A conman planted by anti india forces in india. It’s a curse word for masses. Instead of saying rotten dog you can just say kejriwal. You used to hate politicians and now you’re hand in glove with them. You’re such a kejriwal. (sic)”
Dear @rsprasad @GoI_MeitY This is very serious. Take strong action against the culprits. @TwitterIndia @verified @TwitterSafety @manishm @amritat this is unacceptable. There must be some Indian guy behind this bot. Must be arrested. #SuspendUrbanDictionary https://t.co/789io2SK4T

No 'bacterial infection' found in bodies of 4 Mumbai family members who died after eating watermelon
Mumbai (PTI): The initial report submitted by the microbiology department of a Mumbai-based state-run hospital has said no "bacterial infection" was detected in the bodies of four family members, who died after consuming watermelon recently, officials said on Wednesday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am (on April 26), hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
After the incident, Mumbai police, forensic experts and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials visited the house and had collected samples of every food item that constituted the family's last meal, including 'chicken pulav', watermelon, water, and other foodstuffs, and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis.
After the post-mortem of the deceased, their viscera was preserved for chemical analysis.
As the probe is underway, the microbiology department of the state-run J J Hospital has submitted its initial report to the police.
"As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood," the official said.
The exact cause of the death will be known once the forensic science lab submits its report, he said.
"The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous," the official said.
