After historic gold, Vinesh Phogat gets engaged at airport on return
New Delhi : Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who won gold at the Asian Games in Jakarta, got engaged to wrestler Somvir Rathee on her return to India. The two reportedly exchanged rings near the arrival gate of the Delhi airport on Monday night.
Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Asian Games. Rathee, like Phogat, is also a Greco Roman wrestler. A few days ago, she posted on Instagram a photo of them together in which she said it was the “best decision” she had ever made.
After her victory at the Asian Games, Rathee had posted a picture in which he congratulated Phogat on her victory. “I know how much hard work has come before this victory. Whatever she is today is because of her hardwork and the entire nation’s faith and love for her, without which this would not have been possible. Please keep giving your love and faith always. Every Indian is proud of you always and I pray you will continue to make the nation proud in the future as well,” he said.
Phogat has also shared pictures of her 24th birthday celebration at Delhi airport on Instagram. In an accompanying caption she thanked everyone for their wishes on her birthday and said that it would remain a memorable one. She later confirmed to a newspaper that she was engaged to Rathee and that the rings were exchanged outside the airport.

Car catches fire on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan, five of family burnt alive
Jaipur (PTI): Five members of a family were burnt alive while the driver was seriously injured after a car caught fire on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan's Alwar district, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place near Maujpur on Wednesday night when the victims were returning from a pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir.
Additional Superintendent of Police Priyanka Raghuvanshi said fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the blaze was brought under control in 15 minutes, but by then the car was completely gutted.
The deceased have been identified as Santosh, his wife Shashi, mother Parvati and daughters Raghani and Sakshi, all residents of Chainpura in Sheopur district of Madhya Pradesh.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Kailash Jindal said a short circuit is suspected to have triggered the blaze. As it was a CNG vehicle, the fire spread fast, leaving the occupants with no time to escape.
"Only skeletal remains were recovered from the vehicle, which have been preserved separately. DNA tests will be conducted to establish their identity," he said.
The car driver, identified as Vinod Kumar Mehar, managed to jump out of the vehicle but sustained around 80 per cent burn injuries. He was initially taken to a nearby health centre and later referred to Jaipur for advanced treatment, officials said.
Further investigation is underway.
