Youth kills self after 'quizzed' by police
Hyderabad: An 18-year-old youth, who was questioned by police for allegedly taking away cell phone and other items of his friend, has committed suicide at his house, police said on Thursday.
The family members of the deceased Tarun Yadav, however, alleged that he killed himself due to harassment by police. According to a release issued by Hyderabad Police, one J Nani came to Lallaguda police station on December 22 and lodged a complaint stating that his friends Tarun Yadav, Sandeep and Mukhesh took his tab, mobile phone, wallet, ATM card and Rs 800 in cash and warned him to not to disclose to anybody about this incident, otherwise they will kill him.
On the complaint, police brought Sandeep and Tarun Yadav, working as a tele-caller, along with the tab, cellphone, ATM card and produced them before the inspector of Lallaguda police station yesterday afternoon, it stated. After seeing the tab and cell phone, the complainant said that his friends had taken the things to make fun.
After this the inspector summoned the parents of the respondents to the police station for counselling. The release stated that only Sandeep's father Samuel came to police station and responded in a positive manner. However, nobody came on behalf of Tarun Yadav. Since all the four were friends and the parents of accused had requested to take a lenient view, police booked a petty case and released them on bail after counselling.
At about 11 PM on Wednesday, police came to know that Tarun Yadav after reaching home, quarrelled with his mother, elder step-brother and committed suicide by hanging to the ceiling fan at his residence, the release stated. A case under section 174 of CrPc was registered by Malkajgiri police station for further investigation. In the case registered at Malkajgiri police station, it is mentioned that, he quarrelled in the house, and later committed suicide. However, we are further going through the facts to ascertain the truth, the release added.

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.
