32 नर पिशाच!😡🤬
राजस्थान में मानवता को शर्मसार करने वाली एक घटना घटी है जिसमें एक नाबालिक बच्ची के साथ 32 लोगों ने अलग-अलग जगह पर दुष्कर्म किया!
18 जून 2026 की रात बच्ची गायब हो जाती है
एक स्थानीय ई रिक्शा चालक लड़की का अपहरण कर लेता है और उसे होटल में बेच देता है और फिर दरिंदगी का यह सिलसिला चालू हो जाता है!
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने अपने केस में "रेयरेस्ट ऑफ दी रेयर" अपराध की परिभाषा तय करी है ये अपराध इसी श्रेणी में आता है और जितने भी दोषी हैं सबको निश्चित रूप से फांसी दी जाएगी!
सभी अभिभावकों से निवेदन है कि अपने बच्चे चाहे वह लड़का हो या लड़की किसी को भी जब तक संभव हो सके अकेला ना छोड़े ,आपकी सतर्कता ही आपका बचाव है!

Job card:
0–1 years experience.
Open the job.

2–6 years.

And it's not just one post.
Today alone, I opened 100+ job postings, and most of them were like this.
Can we trust job platforms anymore?
A 21 year old engineering student
no job, no salary, and not even a CIBIL score.
He manages all his monthly expenses with the ₹20,000 pocket money
he receives from his parents.
Then one day, a message popped up in his college WhatsApp group
"You are eligible for
the SBI Elite Credit Card
almost free, with a ₹75,000 credit limit."
At first, he thought it had to be a joke
But when he found
out he actually qualified,
one big question started bothering him.
Is it a smart move
to get a premium credit card without any income or credit history ?
Will it help him build his CIBIL score early
Or could it become his biggest financial mistake before even getting his first job ?
The free movie tickets,
airport lounge access, and premium benefits were tempting.
But one small mistake with
a credit card can affect your financial life for years.
So he turned to people for advice
"Should I get the credit card now,
or wait until I get a job ?"
Now it's your turn
If you were in his place,
would you take the SBI Elite Credit Card with a ₹75,000 limit right now,
or wait until you started working ?
