Bengaluru man fined ₹1,000 after BBMP traces garbage bag through girlfriend’s parcel
Bengaluru: A man was fined Rs 1,000 by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) marshals after a garbage bag left outside his house was traced back to him using a parcel addressed to his girlfriend.
According to a Reddit post, the man had left the bag outside on the morning of his flight, as his roommate was away and the dry waste collection was scheduled only twice a week. The bag contained a parcel cover with his girlfriend’s name and his address, which helped the marshals identify the source.
Early the next morning, BBMP marshals arrived at his residence and informed his roommate that garbage had been dumped on the road. They asked for a fine of Rs 1,000, which the roommate paid immediately. The marshals reportedly even mentioned the girlfriend’s name while issuing the warning.
The incident has drawn mixed reactions online. While some social media users praised the BBMP for holding offenders accountable, others felt the fine was too harsh since the trash was left in a bag and not scattered. Several users pointed out that such cases highlight the need for citizens to take responsibility for waste management, while a few jokingly remarked about the marshals’ detective skills in tracking the offender.

Allahabad HC orders FIR against Rahul Gandhi in alleged dual citizenship case
Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday directed the registration of an FIR against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in connection with an alleged dual citizenship controversy.
The court also observed that after the registration of the FIR, the state government may seek the assistance of a central agency to investigate the matter.
The order was passed by a bench of Justice Subhash Vidyarthi on a petition filed by S Vignesh Shishir, who had challenged a January 28, 2026 order of a special MP/MLA court rejecting his plea for an FIR against Gandhi, who is also the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
The special court had earlier held that it was not competent to adjudicate on issues related to citizenship.
The petitioner, a BJP worker from Karnataka, had sought registration of an FIR and a detailed probe into the matter, levelling allegations against Gandhi under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Official Secrets Act, the Foreigners Act and the Passport Act.
The complaint was initially filed before the special MP/MLA court in Rae Bareli. However, on the petitioner's request, the high court transferred the case to Lucknow on December 17, 2025.
The MP/MLA court in Lucknow subsequently dismissed the plea on January 28, 2026, prompting the petitioner to approach the high court, which has now ordered registration of an FIR.
