Kerala, Sept 03: Hanan Hamid, the Kerala college girl whose story of selling fish to raise money for her studies and to take care of her family went viral recently, suffered serious injuries in a road accident at Kodungallur on Monday morning. The 21-year-old, who was rushed to a private hospital in Kochi, suffered grievous injuries to her spine.

Hospital sources informed ieMalayalam.com that since the injuries were a bit serious, they had recommended an MRI scan. The accident took place when Hanan, whose story has warmed hearts and at the same time riled an equal section of the people, was returning after inaugurating a shop at Vadakara in Kozhikode district.

The accident took place after the car she was travelling in veered away to avoid another person who was crossing the road and eventually rammed into an electric post. While Hanan was rushed to the ICU, the driver escaped without injuries.

Hanan’s arduous story was first reported in Mathrubhumi in July. The story of Hanan, a third-year chemistry student belonging to a private college in Idukki, soon went viral on social media, with thousands of people applauding her courage and determination, including Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

However, she also faced abusive trolls after people from several quarters alleged that her story was completely untrue and that it had been manufactured to fool the people of the state. Abusive comments, laced with threats, had flooded her Facebook account. A section alleged that her falsified story was marketed with the intention of getting a role for her in the movies.

New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.

Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.

"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.

"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.

The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
