Gym trainer arrested after woman's body found four months post-murder in Kanpur
Kanpur: In Kanpur, police have arrested a 32-year-old gym trainer, Vimal Soni, for allegedly murdering a woman whose body was discovered four months after her death. The remains were found near the District Magistrate's bungalow in an upscale area of the city, where government officials reside.
The woman had been reported missing since June 24. During police interrogation, Soni confessed to the crime, revealing that he buried the woman's body in the area after killing her. A local resident stumbled upon the remains while digging and promptly notified law enforcement.
According to police, the victim confronted Soni about his impending marriage, leading to a heated argument in which he fatally assaulted her.

Authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover all aspects of the case, including whether Soni took any jewelry from the victim at the time of the murder.

Karnataka health dept mandates heat stroke units across hospitals
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Friday directed state-run health facilities to set up dedicated ‘heat stroke management rooms’ to address risks from extreme temperatures, officials said.
In a circular issued, the Commissionerate of Health and Family Welfare Services said community health centres should earmark two beds, taluk hospitals five beds, and district hospitals 10 beds for heat stroke management.
The circular, issued under the National Action Plan on Heat-Related Illnesses, stated that these facilities must be made operational every year, including in 2026, from March 1 to July 31.
All doctors and paramedical staff have been instructed to undergo training in the management of Heat-Related Illnesses (HRI).
It also directed all health institutions to establish ORS corners and equip heat stroke management rooms with essential facilities such as fans, ice cubes, and thermometers.
All health facilities at every level have been instructed to submit daily reports on HRI cases through the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP), the circular said.
The health department said the measures aim to prevent heat stroke-related complications and deaths amid rising temperatures and has directed authorities concerned to submit compliance reports on implementation.
