Karwar: 14 students of private school in Dandeli injure themselves with sharp weapons
suicide attempt suspected
Karwar: In a concerning incident in Dandeli village, Uttara Kannada district, fourteen girl students from Classes 9 and 10 of a private school allegedly inflicted injuries to their hands using sharp objects on Saturday. The circumstances surrounding this act have raised suspicions of a suicide attempt.
The exact reasons behind the girls' actions and the nature of the weapons they used remain unclear. It is also uncertain whether the girls attempted to harm themselves at home or within the school premises. When questioned about their bloodied hands by school teachers and parents, the girls reportedly provided evasive responses.
The injured students received medical attention at the Dandeli Primary Health Centre and are currently in stable condition. The school's administrative board has been informed of the incident.
Uttara Kannada Deputy Commissioner, Gangubai Mankar, commented on the situation, stating, "An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the students' self-inflicted injuries. Upon being notified of the matter, I instructed the tahsildar and the block education officer to conduct a thorough investigation and submit a report. However, the students' responses to the officers' inquiries were vague."
Mankar continued, saying, "We have also requested the Department of Education and the Police Department to launch investigations into the incident, as we aim to ascertain whether there are any issues within the school's educational environment. The Health Department has also stepped in, calling for a counseling session for the students, which may shed light on the motives behind their self-harming actions."

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
