Haryana civil service officer Meenakshi Dahiya denied bail

On May 29, the Anti-Corruption Bureau booked fisheries department joint secretary Meenakshi Dahiya and arrested senior scale stenographer Joginder Singh and peon Satyendra Singh while accepting ₹1 lakh as a bribe

“Dahiya is an officer of the rank of joint secretary and complainant Rajan Khora is subordinate to her. In the above circumstances, it is quite likely that Dhaiya would make all efforts to exert pressure upon the complainant to dissuade him from supporting the prosecution case,” ruled the court of additional district and sessions judge Sunil Kumar, while dismissing her anticipatory bail on June 21.

Sandhya Mridul on dealing with social anxiety: I went through a phase when I had to drink to be okay, feel confident

Actor Sandhya Mridul has spoken out about her battle with social anxiety, revealing that she used to turn to alcohol for comfort at public gatherings. Mridul said she initially mistook her discomfort for a simple dislike of socialising. She also said that her anxiety had been taken for arrogance, as she had a "rigid body stance" that was often misconstrued. Mridul, who is now 47, also revealed that she had previously "drunk a lot" in order to feel confident, but had stopped after realising it was becoming a problem.

Sandhya Mridul recently took to Instagram to talk about being misjudged by people in the industry at public events
