Man attempts suicide in front of Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man allegedly attempted suicide by consuming poison in front of the Vidhana Soudha here on Saturday, police said.
The condition of the man, Nagendrappa, an accused in a "moral policing" case registered at the Soladevanhalli police station, is stated to be stable, they added.
The BJP, however, hit out at the Congress government in Karnataka, claiming that Nagendrappa was being harassed by the police for exposing illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. This allegedly led to the suicide attempt.
In a post on X, the Karnataka BJP questioned the Congress government for not showing the courage to track down and arrest illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
"Honourable Home Minister (G Parameshwara), as your department has failed to perform its duty, citizens themselves are identifying illegal immigrants in the interest of national security. Instead of deporting illegal immigrants, what justice is it to subject those who identify them to police torture?" the post said.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
