A man holds up a shoe with the ‘Thakur’ brand name etched on it
MEERUT: A Muslim shoe seller in Bulandshahr’s Gulawati town was booked and detained for questioning after members of a right-wing outfit objected to the name etched on the soles of shoes he was selling, “Thakur”. They gathered at his shop, called the police and kept asking him why he chose to “hurt their sentiments , while he tried to explain that it was only a brand name.
On Monday evening, Bajrang Dal member Vishal Chauhan, 24, had stopped by Mohammad Nasir’s makeshift shop to buy shoes. “I saw most shoes had ‘Thakur’ etched on the soles,” he said. In his complaint to the police, he added, “Please take the strictest possible action against those who make these shoes and sell them.”

Almost 140 companies, including some of the UK’s biggest household names, are being named and shamed today for failing to pay their workers the minimum wage.
THE directors of a hairdressing firm which failed to pay its workers the minimum wage were made OBEs in the New Year Honours list. Alan and Linda Stewart were made Officers of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year Honours list. But their Rainbow Room hairdressers in Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square failed to pay £851.70 to six workers between 2016 and 2018, an investigation by the taxman revealed. The couple founded Rainbow Room -International which has 12 salons around Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The salon’s website describes the owners as a “formidable force in the hairdressing industry”, adding: “As well as building Scotland’s largest salon group, they have maintained the business’s high standards and reputation for hairdressing excellence.”
