Shivamogga: A 26-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in Gandralli village of Hosanagar taluk in Shivamogga district after reportedly struggling with depression following a love failure.
According to a report by Asianet News, the deceased has been identified as Srijith Naik (26). According to family members, he was found hanging from a tree near his house on Thursday morning.

After his release, he found it difficult to fit back into society. His family said he continued to struggle emotionally following the incident and his time in jail.

According to relatives, the emotional distress led him to develop a drinking habit, and he had been consuming alcohol frequently.
The night before he died, his mother and brothers asked him to have dinner. But Srijith just said, "I've already eaten, I'm not hungry," before going to his room.
Early the next morning around 5:30 am, his family noticed he was not in his bed and began searching for him. They later found him hanging from a tree in front of the house using his lungi.
Police from the Ripponpete Police Station reached the spot and began an investigation. A preliminary inquiry suggests that the suicide may have been linked to depression following the love failure.
Police have registered a case and further investigation is underway.

Bill to provide precise definition of 'transgender' introduced in LS
New Delhi (PTI): A bill seeking to provide a precise definition of the term "transgender" and provide graded punishments that reflect the gravity of the harm inflicted upon such persons was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill was introduced by Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Virendra Kumar.
It notes that it is imperative to give a precise definition for proper and definitive identification and protection of transgender persons, to whom the benefits of the present law must reach.
The protection and benefits that are provided under the present law are vast in nature, and therefore, care has to be taken that "such identification cannot be extended based on any acquirable characteristics or personal choice or claimed self-perceived identity of an individual".
The Bill also contains provisions for "designation of an authority" which will have the option to seek "expert advice" if required.
The draft law also seeks to empower transgender persons to make consequential changes in official documents.
