Extortionist targeting lone car drivers, bizmen in Bengaluru lands in police net
Bengaluru: Jameel Khan, an extortionist who used to target lone car drivers with false accident claims, has once again landed in police net. Khan's latest arrest follows a complaint filed by 78-year-old businessman M Chandrashekhar of Shantinagar. On June 2, Khan approached Chandrashekhar near MG Road, alleging that the latter had injured his brother in a road accident. Khan demanded Rs 1 lakh as compensation, but before Chandrashekhar could respond, he intimidated him into handing over Rs 5,500 and then disappeared. Shaken by the experience, Chandrashekhar shared the incident with friends. One of them recalled reading about Khan in TOI recently and shared the article with him. Chandrashekhar identified Khan and filed a complaint with Ashoknagar police.

Ashoknagar police have taken Khan into custody on a body warrant and launched a probe. "It's shocking that someone could rob me on a busy street like MG Road. I'm glad police acted quickly.

Series of sudden heart-related deaths in Karnataka prompts study
Bengaluru/Mysuru: A series of sudden deaths attributed to cardiac ailments among individuals under 40 in Karnataka has prompted urgent investigations by both the state govt and cardiologists' bodies in Hassan and Mysuru. At least 18 deaths reported over a one-month period in Hassan are now being formally investigated by a committee headed by Dr K S Ravindranath, director, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bengaluru, in collaboration with Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS). The committee's report is to be submitted within 10 days. Chief minister Siddaramaiah said the govt will verify deaths and take appropriate action.

"Fourteen of the deceased died at home without consulting doctors. Around nine people were aged under 30, while most others were above 50," he said. With many of the deaths having occurred too long ago for a post-mortem, investigators are primarily relying on medical histories and accounts from local doctors and families. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 6 dias no Reino da Magia Azul Linhas Aéreas Compre já Undo Dr KS Sadananda, superintendent of Jayadeva Mysuru, said: "We now see 3-4 young patients suffering heart attacks daily — many with no prior symptoms." Earlier, admissions were largely limited to those with known conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or smoking habits. Harsh Gupta, the health and family welfare principal secretary said the committee — previously convened for Covid-related reviews — has now been tasked with investigating these deaths. The sudden surge in cardiac fatalities has triggered public anxiety. "Emergency OPDs at Jayadeva hospitals in Bengaluru and Mysuru have seen a 20% spike in footfall, while 200-300 additional outpatients each in Bengaluru and Mysuru were seen in general OPD on Monday," Dr Ravindranath said. At the same time, the Mysuru chapter of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI) has initiated a region-wide study on rising cardiac cases among young people. Under the supervision of CSI Mysuru president Dr Shashirekha and secretary Dr Veena Nanjappa, the study aims to collect data over two years and submit preventive recommendations to the state govt. The data will cover patients admitted to Jayadeva as well as private hospitals such as Narayana Hrudayalaya, Manipal, BGS Apollo, and others. BOX: Not A New Trend: CN Manjunath Noted cardiologist and Bangalore Rural MP Dr C N Manjunath dismissed rising cases of cardiac fatalities as a new trend. "For two decades, the young and middle-aged are vulnerable to heart attacks and related complications. Between 2013 and 2018, when I was the director at Jayadeva, Bengaluru, we studied 5,000 young heart attack patients. Among those between 20 and 45 years old, 50% were smokers, 18-20% had diabetes and high BP, 17% had a strong family history of premature heart attack," he said. The worrying aspect, he said, was that 25% of the patients were without conventional risk factors, adding that the food safety department should start looking at pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables.

Jayadeva hosp in Mysuru to build dormitory for patients' attendants
1 2 Mysuru : Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, commonly known as Jayadeva Hospital , currently treats nearly 300 inpatients daily. It is renowned for its expert cardiologists and high-quality medical care. Patients from across the district, and even from other districts, travel to the hospital for treatment. However, until now, attendants accompanying these patients faced considerable difficulties due to lack of proper accommodation facilities. Recognising their plight, the hospital initiated the construction of an 80-bed dormitory within its campus to provide basic yet dignified accommodation for attendants. This facility is being built at an estimated cost of Rs 4.5 crore and is expected to be completed within a year. Many attendants of patients were forced to spend the night in hospital corridors or open spaces due to the absence of designated lodging. Dr KS Sadanand, medical superintendent of Jayadeva Hospital, brought this issue to the notice of Dr KS Ravindranath, director of the institute. He immediately took it up further and made this project happen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025년 가장 멋진 RPG 게임을 지금 정복하세요 레이드 섀도우 레전드 The result is a dormitory project that aims to provide affordable and safe accommodation for over 80 attendants. Dr Sadanand said, "The number of patients coming to the hospital is increasing rapidly. We currently have an inpatient capacity of 250 to 300. While we provide the best quality treatment to patients, there were no facilities for their attendants. Many were staying in hospital corridors," he said. After observing their hardship, we proposed the construction of a dormitory. The 80-bed facility will be a great relief to them. We plan to charge a very nominal fee for the facility," he said. Once completed, the dormitory will ease the burden on patient families, offering them a clean and secure place to stay while their loved ones undergo treatment. Welcoming the initiative, A Deepu said, "The patients' attendants who used to stay overnight had a tough time at the hospital. With this new facility, they will definitely feel more comfortable. Whenever a hospital plans for inpatients, they should also consider planning for dormitory facilities."
