Karwar: 14 students of private school in Dandeli injure themselves with sharp weapons
suicide attempt suspected
Karwar: In a concerning incident in Dandeli village, Uttara Kannada district, fourteen girl students from Classes 9 and 10 of a private school allegedly inflicted injuries to their hands using sharp objects on Saturday. The circumstances surrounding this act have raised suspicions of a suicide attempt.
The exact reasons behind the girls' actions and the nature of the weapons they used remain unclear. It is also uncertain whether the girls attempted to harm themselves at home or within the school premises. When questioned about their bloodied hands by school teachers and parents, the girls reportedly provided evasive responses.
The injured students received medical attention at the Dandeli Primary Health Centre and are currently in stable condition. The school's administrative board has been informed of the incident.
Uttara Kannada Deputy Commissioner, Gangubai Mankar, commented on the situation, stating, "An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the students' self-inflicted injuries. Upon being notified of the matter, I instructed the tahsildar and the block education officer to conduct a thorough investigation and submit a report. However, the students' responses to the officers' inquiries were vague."
Mankar continued, saying, "We have also requested the Department of Education and the Police Department to launch investigations into the incident, as we aim to ascertain whether there are any issues within the school's educational environment. The Health Department has also stepped in, calling for a counseling session for the students, which may shed light on the motives behind their self-harming actions."

Gautam Adani's representatives meets Trump officials in bid to end US bribery case: Report
New Delhi: Representatives for Indian billionaire Gautam Adani have reportedly met with officials from President Donald Trump’s administration, aiming to have criminal charges against him dismissed in an overseas bribery investigation.
The talks, which began earlier this year, have gained momentum and could reach a resolution in the coming weeks, according to Reuters, citing Bloomberg News.
Adani’s team is reportedly arguing that his prosecution is inconsistent with Trump’s priorities and should be reconsidered.
US authorities indicted Adani and his nephew, Sagar Adani, last year alleging that they paid bribes to secure Indian power supply contracts and misled U.S. investors during fund raises. The SEC accused them of paying millions in bribes to Indian officials while misrepresenting anti-bribery compliance during a $750 million bond offering by Adani Green Energy.
Meanwhile, representatives for the Adani Group, the US Justice Department, and the White House have declined to comment on the report.
