My co-worker revealed things about my family to people in our office
L.N. / Maryland You can't undo your co-workers' knowledge, but you're right: This is not an appropriate topic for the workplace. It doesn't sound as though you should handle the situation alone anymore. Talk to your human resources representative or your manager about what is going on. Ask for help in creating a message to disseminate to your co-workers ('I had compelling reasons for saying what I did. In a work environment, where it's not relevant, I want my background to be a private matter' should do) and for support in getting your message out there and muscle to end the office speculation. HR and management may or may not choose to discipline the employee who outed you. (If he were my subordinate, I'd come down on him like a tropical monsoon, but that's me.) They should, however, be able to help you keep your private life private. Many times invitations overlap with travel plans, volunteer activities, or events with family and friends — is it polite and sufficient to respond, 'Thanks, but we are unable to join you'? I always feel the need to explain why. Also, how do you get someone to stop inviting you? Advertisement J.D. / Swampscott Advertisement There's really no way to ask a person politely never to invite you to anything again; it's basically telling them you don't want to be friends, which is hurtful even if true. If it's a particular type of event that you don't care for, you might say something like, 'I love getting together with you for TGIF drinks after work, but I'm afraid my foot-eye coordination will never allow me to join your Sunday soccer group. I appreciate the thought, but I think you can leave me off the list.' But why have a big relationship, or lack-of-relationship, talk when you could just reply, 'No, thank you'? 'Thanks, but I'm afraid I/we can't make it' is all that you need to say when declining an invitation, except in the case of very close family or friends. It's best, as a general rule, not to get in the habit of giving more casual friends or colleagues a specific reason, as they might come to expect it — and someday your conflict might not be travel or volunteer activities, but a colonoscopy or court date that you'd really rather not talk about. Miss Conduct is Robin Abrahams, a writer with a PhD in psychology.

Hyderabad horror: 9 years after deadly crash, victim's kin say accused has fled abroad
HYDERABAD: Nine years after a ghastly road accident led to the death of three people across three generations, including nine-year-old Ramya, family members of the girl have written to senior police officials raising concerns over the absence of an accused from court proceedings. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In his email, also marked to the Hyderabad police commissioner, Ramya's father Venkata Ramana wrote: "We are deeply alarmed by the fact that Vineeth, who played a pivotal role in enabling the accident, is absconding, and as per our information, has travelled abroad. The court records show a non-bailable warrant (NBW) is pending against Vineeth." Accident that shook Hyd The accident took place at Nagarjuna Circle on July 1, 2016 when a car driven by two youngsters, allegedly after drinking at a pub in Banjara Hills, hit the median, flipped and fell on the hatchback being driven by Ramya's uncle, P Rajesh. Ramya, Rajesh and her grandfather Madhusudhana Chary died in the accident. The family was returning to their home in Borabanda after picking Ramya up from her school in Secunderabad. The accident sent shockwaves across the people - R Shravil, Kancha Vishnu Vineeth and Subhajit Bhattacharya - were named accused by Banjara Hills police in the case. Shravil was accused of driving the car that belonged to Vineeth, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, with the latter seated inside. Subhajit, the representative of Thank God Its Friday (TGIF), a pub in Banjara Hills where the two allegedly consumed liquor, was accused of serving alcohol to under-aged Shravil who was 20 years old at that time. One accused discharged Banjara Hills police charged Shravil and Vineeth under Sections 304 II (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 326 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC in the chargesheet filed in Nov 2016. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But in 2022, Vineeth approached the Nampally court and obtained relief. It discharged him from the charges of 304 II and 326 of the IPC. "The learned prosecution did not give any reply regarding the rulings replied upon by the counsel of the petitioner (Vineeth). Admittedly, there is no material on record to show that the petitioner has intentionally aided or abetted the commission of offence in the above case voluntarily. Therefore, in these circumstances, it is held that the petitioner has made out proper case forming the grounds for discharging him from the charges of offences under Sections 304 II, 326 of IPC and his entitled to be discharged from the offences," the additional metropolitan sessions judge said in the order. The only charge standing against Vineeth was violating the Motor Vehicle (MV) Act. A few months ago, the judge directed him to appear before the court. But he did not attend the court proceeding. In April 2025, the court issued a NBW against him. In the same month, during one of the hearings, Banjara Hills police returned the NBW as his whereabouts were allegedly not known. The matter is coming up for hearing again on July 8.

Nine years after drunk-driving accident which claimed 9-year-old girl's life in Hyderabad, family members say accused has fled abroad
Hyderabad:Nine years after a ghastly road accident led to the death of three people across three generations, including nine-year-old Ramya, family members of the girl have written to senior police officials raising concerns over the absence of an accused from court proceedings.

The accident took place at Nagarjuna Circle on July 1, 2016 when a speeding car driven by two youngsters, allegedly after drinking at a pub in Banjara Hills, hit the median, flipped to the other side of the road and fell on the hatchback being driven by Ramya's uncle, P Rajesh. While he and Ramya died on the spot, her grandfather Madhusudhana Chary succumbed to his injuries days later. The family was returning to their home in Borabanda after picking Ramya up from her school in Secunderabad. Three people — R Shravil, Kancha Vishnu Vineeth and Subhajit Bhattacharya — were named accused by Banjara Hills police in the case. Shravil was accused of driving the car that belonged to Vineeth, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, with the latter seated inside.

After a prolonged legal battle, the only charge still standing against Vineeth was that of violating the Motor Vehicle (MV) Act. Yet, a few months ago, the judge directed him to appear before the court, which wanted to initiate the process of 'framing charges'. But he did not attend the court proceeding. In April 2025, the court issued a NBW against him. In the same month, during one of the hearings, Banjara Hills police returned the NBW as his whereabouts were allegedly not known and requested the court to issue a notice to the sureties of Vineeth. As per details available on the Nampally courts website, the NBW was still pending when the case came up for hearing on June 25. The matter is coming up for hearing again on Tuesday, July 8. 'We request the deputy commissioner of police (west zone) to take action to challenge the session's court order which set aside the prime charge of Section 304 II, in the appropriate appellate court. Otherwise, it will amount to injustice. We have been waiting for justice for the last nine years and I don't know when there will be a closure. We request the police to actively pursue the matter,' Venkata Ramana told TOI on Sunday. The case under Section 304 II is still on against prime accused Shravil.
