UMERKOTE : A 21-year-old nursing student of Raighar block in Nabarangpur district is battling for life after consuming poison over circulation of her private photos by a youth who was allegedly in a one-sided love with her. The victim, a BSc student in Jeypore town of Koraput, was shifted to AIIMS-Bhubaneswar in a critical condition on Wednesday while the accused youth, 22-year-old Satyajit Sarkar of Gursingha village in Raighar, has been arrested by police.

Dalit textile worker dies by suicide in Tiruppur after employer's threats over alleged theft
TIRUPPUR: A 39-year-old dalit knitwear company employee in Tiruppur killed himself allegedly after he got embroiled in a suspected theft at his workplace. The city police has ordered a detailed probe into the death after his family claimed the company owner threatened and attacked him over the missing of fabric worth Rs 40 lakh from the company. K Dhayalan of Valayankadu in Tiruppur, who was a fabric in-charge in a knitwear company in Kumar Nagar, took own life by consuming poison on Tuesday night, a week after a failed similar bid. He had returned home after treatment following the first poisoning attempt only three days earlier. The Anupparpalayam police have registered a case. The company management had fired him from his job last month after he was blamed for the theft of fabric. Thereafter, the company owner forced him to part with 2.25 cents of land belonging to his family in Pongalur, said police sources. On July 8, Dhayalan's wife Gomathi filed a complaint at the Tiruppur city police commissioner's office claiming the company owner had called Dhayalan in person on July 3 and attacked him. "They continue to threaten us even after we gave up our land. Due to this, Dayalin attempted suicide by consuming poison on July 5, and the police should take appropriate action in this regard," the complaint stated. However, allegedly, the police did not take any action on the complaint, she stated. Speaking to TNIE, S Rajendran, Commissioner of Police, said, "The deceased belonged to a Scheduled Caste community. So I have ordered a detailed investigation into this matter. Appropriate action will definitely be taken against the owners of the knitwear company if the investigation finds any wrongdoing." Dhayalan is survived by his wife Gomathi and a seven-year-old daughter.

Kochi man found dead, kin allege bank loan pressure led to suicide
KOCHI: A 46-year-old man was found hanging at his residence in Kurumassery, near Angamaly, on Tuesday. The relatives of the deceased -- Madhu Mohanan, a driver by profession -- have alleged that pressure from bank loan recovery proceedings drove him to suicide, the police said. Madhu had taken a housing loan of Rs 21 lakh from Kerala Bank but was struggling with repayments. As part of the attachment process, the bank authorities visited the property two days ago and began measuring the plot, said Santha Unnikrishnan, the councillor of Kurumassery East. A friend of Madhu, who wished to remain anonymous, said the family had shifted to the current location a few years ago from his ancestral home in the neighbouring ward. Madhu had previously worked as a driver in West Asia, returning after constructing the house. In recent times, he had been living alone due to family issues, with two daughters staying with their mother. 'We knew he was facing financial difficulties, but none of us expected him to take such a drastic step,' the friend said. An officer with the Chengamanad police station said Madhu's brother has lodged a complaint alleging that the bank ignored a request for an extension and went ahead with the recovery process, which led to severe mental stress and ultimately his death. 'The preliminary findings indicate the deceased was under financial strain and had unresolved family issues. Further legal procedures, including registering a case, will be initiated after a detailed investigation,' the officer added.
