Police in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district are searching for two women who allegedly left town last week after asking their sister to report that they drowned in a local canal while taking a selfie.

On Friday morning, 16-year-old Sophia Masih accompanied her 21-year-old sister Lovepreet and 18-year-old cousin Nisha Masih to a local canal near their village of Sathiali.

Hours later Sophia returned home and told the family that her sisters drowned while clicking a selfie.

The family then informed local police who launched a search operation but could not trace the “bodies” of the two women, even after stopping the flow of water into the canal. Army divers too failed.

Under interrogation, Sophia then changed her statement and said the two women fled with unidentified persons in a car, for a “lavish life” in Mumbai, police said.

“We are working on various theories,” said BS Virk, senior superintendent of police (SSP), Gurdaspur. “Sophia, the lone eyewitness, is changing her statements time and again. Teams have been sent to various cities and, hopefully, we will trace them within 24 hours.”

No case has so far been registered. “Once the girls are traced or their bodies recovered, a case will be registered,” he said.

Deputy superintendent of police Prahlad Singh said six teams had been sent to various cities. “We had asked the telecom company to give call details and location of the mobile number the women were carrying,” he added.

Lovepreet is a BA student at the local SM college in Kahnuwan. Nisha passed Class 12 this year. Lovepreet and Sophia’s father, Balwinder Masih, is a travel agent and also runs a grocery shop in the village. He refused to comment.

Massive Cobra Cake Made By Mom

When Kristi’s son was moving up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, she decided that the special occasion called for a special treat. She wanted to create something memorable, something that her son’s whole troop could enjoy. And did she deliver! The name of her son’s troop was the Cobra Den, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a cobra. And she did—but she went way above and beyond. She got up at 5:00 in the morning, baked five separate Bundt cakes, and arranged them to create a six-foot-long slithering snake cake. Cutting the Bundt cakes in half, she put the halves end to end to make them look like a curving snake body. She used multiple batches of Rice Krispie Treat mix (which she also made) to sculpt the hooded head and pointy tail. Here are 12 baking mistakes you didn’t know you were making. With the cake put together, it was time for the frosting, which she also made herself. But she didn’t spread the frosting on the cake—she covered the whole thing with ti
