Meta alert helps cops rescue youth after Insta suicide post
At 6:32 am, Meta's global monitoring system flagged a disturbing Instagram post from the youth in Shahganj police station limits, where he uploaded a message with the caption "Goodbye, life", showing him consuming a large quantity of pills. Meta immediately sent an alert email to the Uttar Pradesh Police Social Media Centre at the Police Headquarters, Lucknow.
Taking immediate cognisance, DGP Rajeev Krishna issued urgent instructions to trace and rescue the individual.
Based on the mobile number and geolocation details provided by Meta, the Social Media Centre coordinated with the cops, alerting the Shahganj police station.
Within 10 minutes, a sub-inspector of Shahganj police station reached the youth's residence. After speaking to the family, the officer rushed to the youth's room, where he was found shouting in distress. With the help of family members, the officer administered basic first aid and took him to a nearby doctor.
After medical treatment, his condition stabilised, and he was safely brought back home.
During counselling, the youth revealed that he is the only son among five sisters and works as a daily wage labourer like his father. He said frequent domestic disputes, especially with his father, pushed him into severe mental distress and depression, prompting the suicide attempt. The youth's family expressed deep gratitude to UP Police for their swift and humane action.

Love ghee? Famous cardiologist calls it 'big daddy of oils'. Here's how it supports weight loss, heart health
Ghee has long been the comfort food for Indians. Whether sprinkled on top of a hot bed of rice or lathered on rotis and parathas, a dollop of ghee, or clarified butter, can make anything, even the most bland food, delicious. Long considered an enemy of fitness enthusiasts, the time has now come for ghee to have its moment under the sun. According to Dr. Alok Chopra, Cardiology, Functional Medicine & Disease Reversal MD, MBBS. Co-founder, Aashlok Hospital. Incorporating ghee into everyday meals can be a healthy choice. He shared his insights in an Instagram post in August 2024, highlighting the multifaceted benefits of this age-old superfood. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo Dr. Alok Chopra's Stand on Ghee Taking to Instagram, Dr. Chopra shared a post, naming ghee as the 'Big Daddy of Oils,' emphasising that ghee is more than just a cooking medium—it is deeply intertwined with Indian heritage and nutrition. He described ghee as a powerhouse that aids digestion, strengthens immunity, and offers a generous supply of vital fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. One of the key attributes he pointed out is its high smoke point, which makes it a safe choice for high-temperature cooking without the risk of forming toxic substances. He also urged people to opt for A2 ghee made from organic A2 cow milk. In his post, he stressed the importance of ethical sourcing, warning that dairy obtained from cows subjected to cruel conditions or unnatural hormonal treatments can compromise the purity and effectiveness of the ghee. According to Dr. Chopra, being mindful about where your ghee comes from is just as crucial as including it in your diet. Ghee: A Nutritional Treasure Trove Scientific platforms like Healthline and WebMD have documented a wide range of potential health benefits linked to ghee, also known as clarified butter. Here's a breakdown of the findings: A Natural Source of Vitamin A Ghee helps improve vitamin A levels in the body. This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in preserving vision, supporting the immune system, and promoting skin health. Its fat-soluble nature makes ghee an ideal carrier for efficient absorption. Promotes Cardiovascular Well-being Ghee contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with lowering inflammation and potentially decreasing the risk of heart disease. Despite its high fat content, ghee delivers heart-friendly monounsaturated fats that support vascular health when consumed in moderation. Anti-Inflammatory Properties In Ayurvedic healing practices, ghee has long been used to treat skin burns and swelling. While clinical evidence is still emerging, one key component—butyrate, a type of fatty acid—has been shown in studies to reduce inflammation. This compound contributes to ghee's calming effect on bodily inflammation, especially in the digestive tract. Aiding Weight Management Another significant component in ghee is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid linked to fat loss. Research has demonstrated that CLA may assist in reducing overall body fat and supporting weight management efforts. Supports Skin Repair and Regeneration Scientific observations indicate that ghee can help promote skin healing, reinforce the skin barrier, and stimulate collagen production. These functions make it a valuable addition for those aiming to maintain youthful and resilient skin. Enhances Digestive Function Ghee also offers benefits for gut health. The presence of butyrate in ghee—though in small amounts—can support colon cell health. But to increase butyrate in the body more effectively, a fiber-rich diet is recommended, since the gut naturally produces more short-chain fatty acids from fiber than from ghee alone. Reduces Risk from Toxic Compounds One surprising advantage of cooking with ghee is that it may lower the formation of acrylamide, a toxic substance found in some cooking methods. Research indicates that animal fats like ghee yield less acrylamide than plant oils during high-heat cooking. Since acrylamide exposure in animals has been linked to cancer at high doses, choosing ghee might be a safer option for those concerned with food safety. In conclusion, with expert backing from professionals like Dr. Chopra and growing evidence from scientific platforms, ghee is emerging not only as a culinary delight but as a potent health enhancer. When sourced ethically and consumed wisely, this golden fat may indeed be a gift from our ancestors worth rediscovering.

Pakistani Actor Humaira Asghar's Organs Turned Black; Postmortem Reveals Chilling Details
Last Updated: Reportedly, postmortem report has revealed that major organs of the actress reduced to an "unidentifiable mass" since her body was kept for a long time. Days after Pakistani Actor Humaira Asghar's dead body was recovered from her Karachi apartment, approximately nine months after her death, the postmortem report has revealed some chilling details. As reported by Geo News, forensic experts confirmed that Humaira's body was in an 'advanced stage of decomposition" when it was found by police officials earlier this month. Reportedly, the postmortem report has revealed that major organs of the actress were reduced to an 'unidentifiable mass" since her body was kept for a long time. Not just this, her facial features also became completely unrecognisable. 'Parts of the body were entirely devoid of muscle tissue, and the bones began to disintegrate upon touch," the report stated. 'The brain matter was completely decomposed via autolysis, and internal organs turned into a black-coloured mass. The cartilage in joints was absent; however, it said no fractures were detected in bones," it added. Investigators also stated that there was the presence of insects in the remains. 'Experts say that these details may help determine the environmental conditions in which she lay undisturbed," the report said. 'According to the post-mortem findings, the head and spine remained intact, but there was no spinal cord as the body was highly decomposed. It further said brown-coloured insects were present, especially in the hair, but no maggots were found," the post-mortem report mentioned. However, due to this advanced decomposition, the postmortem report could not figure out the exact cause of death. Reportedly, the DNA profiling and toxicology tests will not be conducted to ascertain the cause of death. Who Is Humaira Asghar? Humaira Asghar had previously participated in ARY's reality show Tamasha Ghar and played a role in the 2015 film Jalaibee. According to her Instagram bio, she was not only an actress and model but also a theatre artist, painter, sculptor, and a self-described fitness enthusiast. She had over 713,000 followers on the platform. Her last post, shared on September 30, 2024, featured a series of candid photos. Previously, her family also refused to accept her dead body. Her sudden death and the circumstances surrounding her estranged relationship with her family have ignited conversations around mental health, abandonment, and dignity in death.

'Radhika said father liked song, deactivated Insta after music video': Co-actor
The actor who featured alongside tennis player Radhika Yadav on a music video has claimed that the 25-year-old told him that her "father liked the song". Inam-ul-Haq, the actor who worked with Radhika on the project, also said her mother accompanied her on set on the day of the shoot. Inam-ul-Haq (R), the actor who starred alongside Radhika Yadav in a music video, spoke about working with her.(Facebook/ANI) Radhika Yadav was killed, allegedly after being shot four times by her father Deepak Yadav at their residence in Gurugram. Following her death, a music video starring her alongside Inam-ul-Haq was widely circulated, with some reports suggesting that Radhika's father had objections to it. However, there was no official confirmation on the music video fuelling tensions between Radhika and her father Deepak. Amid speculation, the actor, who starred opposite Radhika Yadav, has now suggested that the tennis player was doing the project with permission from her father. "She (Radhika) came to the shooting (of the music video) with her mother. On the set, she also mentioned that her father liked the song, which means she took permission from her father," Inam-ul-Haq was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. The actor also said Radhika's entire family knew about the music video. When asked if the tennis player ever spoke to him about joining the music or film industry, the actor said, "When we met her for the first time, she told us that she wants to work in this line (film line)...She desired to work in this that, we never met." Talking about the project he did with Radhika Yadav, Inam-ul-Haq said the shoot was wrapped up in one day, and lasted about five hours in Noida. The actor also said he was professionally connected to Radhika Yadav, and the two did not talk about her family a lot. He also said that she did not promote the music video a lot, and deactivated and reactivated her Instagram account around two to three times after it was released. The music video starring Radhika Yadav and Inam-ul-Haq was produced by Zeeshan Ahmad and released under the LLF Records label in 2024. Amid speculation over the reasons behind Radhika's father murdering her, police officials told Hindustan Times that there is 'nothing concrete' which suggests that Deepak was upset over the music video and social media activity.
