Mangaluru: Close on the heels of a college student from Moodigere ending her life after some unscrupulous elements threatened her and even tried to defame her by circulating her photo on social sites, another similar incident of trying to defame a female student has been reported from Mangaluru.
Madhuri Bolar, an M.Com student at the Government Women's First Grade College at Carstreet, who also happens to be the District Secretary of the Student Federation Of India has lodged a complaint with the City Police Commissioner alleging that she was being linked to a Muslim youth by misusing a Facebook group photo clicked with classmates and circulating it in WhatsApp.

But since some days this photo is being circulated on WhatsApp by some activists of a Hindu outfit who are involved in a malicious propaganda that Hindu girls talking to Muslim boys was leading to Love Jihad."

Motihari (PTI): The toll in the hooch tragedy in Bihar's East Champaran district rose to nine on Sunday after three more people who had consumed spurious liquor died, officials said.
The first death was reported on Thursday, they said.
A total of 15 people have been arrested in connection with the deaths in the Turkauliya and Raghunathpur areas of Motihari, District Magistrate Saurabh Jorwal said.
A case of murder has already been registered on the basis of complaints filed by the family members of the deceased, police said.
Jorwal said one person is still in the hospital and his condition is reported to be critical.
"Seven persons have already been discharged after treatment," he told PTI.
"The bodies of the deceased have been sent for post-mortem examination. The exact cause of the deaths can only be known after the reports arrive," he said.
The SHO of Turkauliya police station has already been suspended on charge of dereliction of duty, and a special investigation team has been constituted to probe the incident, officials said.
The deaths have led to a political slugfest in the state, where the sale and consumption of alcohol has been banned since 2016.
