Davanagere: A 17-year-old boy from Bengaluru, disturbed by his elder sister’s alleged extramarital relationship, reportedly kidnapped her three-year-old son before fleeing to Davanagere. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) intercepted the teen at Davanagere railway station, where he was found with the child.

According to reports from the Times of India, the teenager revealed his identity and explained his motives during police questioning. He stated that he and his sister, along with their family, resided in Bengaluru. Upset by his sister’s relationship and her refusal to end it despite his repeated requests, he decided to take her young son to their family’s native village.

The incident came to light after the boy’s sister informed Bengaluru police that her brother had abducted her child, though she did not formally file a complaint. Bengaluru police subsequently alerted officers in Davanagere, who successfully located the boy and his nephew. The teenager has since been returned to his family in Bengaluru.

Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.

The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.

The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.

“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.

“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.

Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.

Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.

Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.

“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
