In Gujarat’s Morbi district, a shocking case has surfaced after police said a tenant allegedly consented to his landlord and the landlord’s relative repeatedly raping his wife and his 13-year-old daughter when he fell behind on Rs 2,000 monthly rent. The complaint filed by the victims’ mother and grandmother on May 1 invokes the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO. Authorities claim assaults occurred at the rented home, the landlord’s residence, and another location in Tankara. The tenant and landlord are arrested, with investigations ongoing.
India’s ceramic tile industry in Morbi is retooling its growth strategy. Instead of selling mainly on sheer volume, manufacturers are investing in better capabilities and curated, trend aligned collections aimed at demanding overseas buyers. The shift focuses on design, quality, and aesthetic sophistication, helping Morbi move up the value chain and stay competitive globally.
