Rajasthan: A hapless father seeks justice for her slain daughter

Jaipur, Sep 21 (IANS) A hapless father and retired lecturer of Mundawar in Alwar district of Rajasthan has been running from pillar to post seeking justice for his daughter who was allegedly killed by her “greedy in-laws” on September 12 in Tijara of the district.

Speaking to IANS, grieving father Jagmal Singh said: “The last call my daughter Manjulata made to my wife was on September 9 when she clearly expressed a threat from her in-laws. She asked my wife to take her along or else they would kill her. My wife responded, saying that her father would come soon to bring her back,” he said.

“Even before I could plan my visit, we got the news that my daughter had suffered a heart attack,” he said, adding that it is a blatant lie being told by her in-laws.

Singh has also made a complaint in this regard but is surprised that the police are not taking any action in the matter.

To date, even the mobile of my daughter has not been seized which can help expose the deeds of her in-laws, he said.

The police, when contacted, said that any action can be taken only after the forensic science laboratory (FSL) report is received.

“Till we receive something substantial, we can’t take any action,” said Dara Singh, a police officer of Tijara Police Station.

Dara Singh also said that it is a story being cooked up by the bereaved family. “Why they did not lodge complaint earlier when his daughter called them on September 9?” he said.

However, Manjulata’s father said that his daughter always used to believe that things would improve, so they never approached the police.

He said that Manjulata had finished her nursing course from a Bengaluru college and was married in 2009 to Padam Singh in Hingwaheda village of Tijara. Soon after her marriage, her in-laws started torturing her for bringing no dowry with her. Hence, the girl continued working in Gurgaon to ensure that her in-laws get at least her salary.

In his complaint, the father mentioned that his daughter continued working as a nurse in a top private hospital in Gurgaon even during her pregnancy, as her in-laws were demanding money from her.

“Even after delivering a baby boy, she continued to work in Gurgaon as her in-laws wanted her salary regularly. Thereafter, she delivered a baby girl. This enraged her in-laws further. Hence, she kept her baby with us for three years,” he said in his complaint.

In May 2016, she joined a private hospital in Bhiwadi and started commuting from her house daily.

Despite doing all household chores and then going for her job, her sister-in-law would tell her husband that she was not up to the status of their family and that he should get married again.

Her father said that he gave cash and gifts worth Rs 2.5 lakh to the in-laws when she delivered her son, then on his retirement, he yet again gave Rs 1 lakh, but nothing satisfied them.

Meanwhile, Manjulata, looking at her growing kids, recently left her job, which angered the in-laws all the more and they started torturing her, he said.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
