He thus removed a large piece of chicken sandwich stuck in the boy’s throat. A video of the incident was recorded on a CCTV camera, which shows the servant passing by the boy and seeing the boy in trouble as he grabs his throat. Then he grabs him by the back and lifts him up, performing first aid Heimlich.The boy immediately throws away a piece of chicken sandwich. But there seems to be more obstruction in his throat. Therefore, when two anxious women look at them, the employee continues the process. One of them is the boy’s mother, and she tries to ask for help, but abandons the idea when she sees the man helping the boy. Meanwhile, the other woman calls the 911 emergency number. Fortunately, due to the intervention of the employee, the boy survived the sandwich suffocation. https://youtu.be/J4bN4jOJNpc

Stanley, the father of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has been charged for sexual harassment

Stanley Johnson, the father of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has been accused by two women of sexually abusing him. One of them is a Conservative MP. The other woman is a journalist. Both of these cases are old, but have now come to the fore. Stanley Johnson, a politician and former member of the World Bank, has made headlines many times before. One of the women making the allegations is Caroline Knox, a Conservative MP and currently a member of the Committee on Women in the British Parliament. In an interview with Sky News, she made serious allegations that she had been molested by the British Prime Minister’s father. Caroline Knox alleges that Stanley touched her inappropriately. Later, a journalist made similar allegations. Caroline Knox said” I think Stanley is a famous personality. Stanley was a Conservative candidate in the Devon area at the time of the incident. He touched me inappropriately and he behaved rudely and left. He also posted obscene comments to me.” According to her, the incident took place in 2003 during the party’s annual meeting. “At that time we were both going to contest the election. By the time I was about 30, I understood the good and the bad but was scared.” Responding to a question, Knox said: ” I consider it my duty to talk about such incidents. This is because if something like this happens to anyone in the future, a voice can be raised against it. I could not do that at that time, but if I remain silent today, my daughter will have to remain silent. So what is the right thing for us to decide, and where should we go?” According to Knox, keeping silent against such antics is an encouragement to the wrong people. Following the serious allegations by Caroline Knox, New Statesman senior journalist Elibe Ray made a similar complaint. She spoke on social media platforms. She said- “In 2019 a convention of the Conservative Party was held. During this time, Stanley has behaved in a similarly abusive manner with me. I thank Knox for giving me the courage to tell the truth. We have the right to speak out against the wrongdoings of every powerful person, even if he is the father of the Prime Minister. “ This is what Boris’ father Stanley said about Knox’s allegations. “I don’t remember anything about Knox, but that’s how it all happens. That’s why I don’t want to answer.”

Colombo Chief Magistrate Buddhika Sri Ragala has ordered that the three underage girls who returned home after their disappearance be produced before a psychiatric counsellor. The Chief Magistrate has also ordered the police to obtain a probation report regarding the three girls and present it before the court. The Keselwatta Police have informed the court that no criminal offence has been revealed during the investigations carried out on the three girls. Accordingly, the Chief Magistrate decided to close the case. The Keselwatta Police have received a complaint that two sisters and a cousin of the same family who was residing in the Keselwatta Police Division have gone missing. The three girls had returned to their homes during the investigation. It was revealed that the three missing girls, aged 13 and 15, had fled the house in search of a suitable place to practice music and Western dance. They told the police that they did so in the face of strong opposition from their parents, who were passionate about music and western dance. The mother’s sister and her daughter, who live in Gampola, had come to the house where the mother, father and two daughters live in Keselwatta, Martis Lane, Colombo about a week ago. However, on the night of the 8th, the three girls aged 13 and 15 and the mother of the girl, a resident of the Keselwatta house, complained with the Keselwatta Police stating that her mobile phone was missing. She stated that the three girls were in the room at around 7.45 am on the 8th but they were not seen around 8.30.

The police informed the Colombo Magistrate’s Court about the incident on November 09 and began to analyze the data of the mobile phones taken by the girls. But the three girls had returned home around 10 pm on November 10th. Fatima Kadira, 13, who lived in the banana house, her 15-year-old sister Fatima Raksha, and her cousin Fatima Warya, 13, who came home from Gampola, also testified. They said that although they were fond of Korean music and Western dance, it was opposed by adults. They later told police they had decided to leave home to study music and dance. Accordingly, they had arrived in Pettah, Colombo in a three-wheeler on the morning of the 8th and had found the money they needed by selling a gold ring for Rs. 64,000. Instead of wearing full-body clothing, they first went to Wattala to buy clothes and find Western music and dance class. Later they had left for Anuradhapura. A bus driver who was paying attention to the girls said, “The bus left Colombo at 5.30. The children were dressed in black. I bought a ticket to Anuradhapura. I was told to go to Anuradhapura and return to Colombo. It was late at night and we were asked to board a Colombo bus. A bus coming from Mannar arrived at around 12.30 pm. I went and stopped and put the 3 kids on the bus and got off at Colombo. Told not to drop anywhere else. These are called banana plantations. Then I called the bus. I was told to leave Colombo at around 7.30 in the morning. “ They returned to Colombo and returned to Kandy to find a suitable class. They had returned to Colombo as they could not find a class there and had gone to a lodge for the night. The girls had told the police that they had been refused admission due to lack of national identity cards. The three had returned home around 10 pm.
