Muslim man tied upside down and beaten to death in UP's Saharanpur
Saharanpur: A 27-year-old Muslim man, Mohd Salman, succumbed to injuries on January 18 after being violently assaulted by villagers in Nawada, Saharanpur district. The incident, which occurred on January 13, was captured on video, showing Salman tied upside down with his legs bound as villagers repeatedly beat him with sticks.
Salman and his companion, Mohammed Rafid, were accused of attempting to rob the house of Raj Kumar in Nawada village. According to Saharanpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Sagar Jain, the villagers caught the two men as they tried to flee after a robbery attempt and subjected them to a brutal beating.
Salman was handed over to the police and received medical treatment but later died. His body was returned to his family after a postmortem examination.
A case has been registered against Salman and Rafid for the alleged robbery. However, little progress has been reported in taking action against the mob responsible for the assault.

Authorities have assured a thorough investigation, with SP Jain stating that strict action will be taken against those found guilty.

Raichur: Min. Gundu Rao warns of disciplinary action against negligent government hospital doctors
Raichur: Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao issued a stern warning to doctors and staff in taluka hospitals, emphasizing the importance of their presence at duty stations to provide necessary care for pregnant women. He cautioned that disciplinary action would be taken against those found negligent.
Speaking at the launch of the state-level Maternal and Child Safety Campaign on Wednesday at the premises of the Mother and Child Hospital in Raichur, the minister underlined the government's responsibility to safeguard maternal and child health. He detailed plans for the Matru Suraksha Abhiyan, which will be conducted across all district and taluk centers in Karnataka.
He announced that taluk hospitals will be upgraded into district mini-hospitals, equipped with enhanced facilities and staffed adequately. He stressed the need for round-the-clock treatment availability, highlighting Raichur's need for better healthcare and education services. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has pledged support, including funds for immediate implementation of these initiatives.
Highlighting alarming maternal mortality statistics, Gundu Rao pointed out that 64 out of every 100,000 pregnant women in the state die due to insufficient care. The campaign aims to reduce this figure to zero through improved healthcare access and awareness.
Minor Irrigation and Science and Technology Minister N.S. Boseraju reinforced the need for a district hospital in Raichur and urged swift action to address healthcare infrastructure deficiencies. He called on medical professionals to ensure quality service for economically disadvantaged families.
MLA Hampaiah Sahukara, District Collector Nitesh, Zilla Panchayat CEO Pandve Rahul Tukaram, and local civic leaders were present during the program. The program was coordinated by District Health Officer Dr. Surendra Babu, with Dandappa Biradar serving as the event's master of ceremonies.
