Doctor Commits Suicide Ahead Of Wedding
Hyderabad: A city doctor working in Karim Nagar committed suicide by injecting poison-mixed saline at his flat in Attapur on Sunday.
Dr. Shivanand, a radiologist who practised here in city and his native place Karim Nagar, was engaged to a girl and their wedding was scheduled to take place on March 8. The reception date was March 10.
According to the driver of the deceased, Shivanand went for shopping along with the bride-to-be and they had dinner at a restaurant before parting on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, he gave some money to the driver to go out and have his breakfast. By the time the driver returned, he locked the door from inside and the driver waited for a couple of hours thinking the doctor must be sleeping. When the doctor's father called him on the mobile phone, there was no response and subsequently he called the driver and asked him to check out.
As there was no response from inside even after lot of knocking, the driver and another person broke open the door only to find Shivanand dead. There was no suicide note left by the deceased and the family is left in utter shock as there was no reason whatsoever for him to take the extreme step.
After a post-mortem, the body was taken to Karim Nagar.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
