Kodagu: The police have arrested an auto driver for his alleged indecent behavior at the female students' hostel of Kodagu Medical College. The incident has triggered protests by college students who are voicing concerns over inadequate security measures at the hostel.

The accused, identified as Sijil (25), an auto driver and a resident of Nellihudikeri, was reportedly under the influence of alcohol when the incident occurred.

Angered by the incident and the perceived lack of security, students staged a protest on Monday, demanding better safety measures within the hostel premises. They highlighted the absence of a robust security gate as a major concern.

In response to the incident, the local police took action, arresting Sijil under the guidance of District Superintendent of Police K. Rama Rajan.

This incident is not an isolated case, as there have been reports of several individuals on motorcycles, autos, and other vehicles behaving improperly and causing distress to the hostel's female occupants. The police have registered cases against three more individuals, Manu C (27), Prashant S (27), and Kiran (28), all residents of Madikeri, believed to be connected to similar incidents.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.

“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.

Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”

Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”

“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.

When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”

The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
