Hyderabad JNTU hostel horror: Rat found in chutney, video goes viral
Hyderabad: Students at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) in Hyderabad's Sultanpur were horrified to find a rat swimming in the chutney served at their hostel mess. The video, filmed by a student, quickly went viral, sparking widespread concern over the food safety at the institution. The incident occurred on Monday night at the Sultanpur JNTU College in Telangana, following recent student protests about the unsanitary conditions of their hostel food.
After the video spread online, authorities directed the district administration to submit a detailed report on the incident.
Last month, Telangana food safety officials conducted inspections at the JNTU Sultanpur campus, revealing significant violations in the canteen’s kitchen. This raid followed a similar one at JNTU Kukatpally, which also exposed poor conditions. Officials found 15 kg of maida flour infested with black beetles and 25 kg of vegetables contaminated with fungus, both of which were discarded. The storeroom was unhygienic, with rodent presence and excessive rat excreta. The kitchen, wash area, and dining area were found in unsanitary conditions. Food handlers lacked proper attire and medical records, and the RO water plant was non-operational.
In a separate incident, a lizard was found in the breakfast served to students at a girls' hostel linked to a government school in Medak district, Telangana. Seventeen students who had eaten the breakfast were taken to a primary health center, with two experiencing stomach pain being transferred to another hospital. In response, a cook and an assistant cook were terminated for negligence, and the caretaker and Special Officer of Model School Girls' Hostel received show-cause notices. The incident was discovered when a student found a lizard in the upma served for breakfast. The caretaker immediately instructed all students to stop eating and took the affected students to the health center for examination. Subsequently, 70 more students were taken to the health center for precautionary check-ups.

3 held, hunt on for 4 accomplices after they kidnap, assault and urinate on man in Bhopal
Bhopal (PTI): Police have registered a case against seven persons and arrested three of them for allegedly kidnapping, assaulting and urinating on a 22-year-old man in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal, officials said on Thursday.
The incident occurred during the intervening night of April 26 and 27 in an area located under the Hanumanganj police station limits, an official said.
One of the accused urinated on the face of the victim and captured a video of the act, which was later circulated on social media to humiliate him, he said.
"A complaint in this connection was lodged by Jaswant Markam (22), a resident of Kamla Nagar, based on which a case was registered against seven persons under sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and police have arrested three of them, including one Prem Thapa," Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar said.
Three police teams have been formed and the remaining suspects will be apprehended soon, he said.
During the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, Markam was at the local bus stand with a friend when around 4 am, the accused took him away on the pretext of discussing something with him. They asked him about his neighbour and friend Aniket. When he refused to provide any information, they started assaulting him, the police said.
The accused then took him to a forest in Karond area, where he was stripped and severely thrashed, they said.
When the man began to lose consciousness, one of the accused urinated on his face and made a video of the act, which was circulated on social media to humiliate him and spread terror, according to the police.
The accused called Markam's friend around 5 am to inform him about his condition. The victim was subsequently admitted to a hospital, the officials said, adding that the viral video was also being investigated.
Responding to a query, Hanumanganj police station in-charge Awdhesh Bhadoria said if the victim was found to be from the tribal community, then relevant sections will be invoked against the accused.
At present, the police are probing the incident and search is on to arrest the remaining accused, he added.
In 2023, a man had urinated on a tribal youth in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh. A video of the incident had gone viral on social media platforms and created a controversy.
