Kasaragod: Including two children, three members of one family found dead
Kasaragod: Three members of a family, including two children, were reportedly found dead at Cheruvathur. The deceased have been identified as Pilikodu Madivayi’s auto-rickshaw driver Rupesh (37), and his two children Vaidehi (10), Shivanand (6). Their bodies were recovered from the corner of under-construction home.
Bodies of the children were recovered in a state that suggested they had consumed poison while Rupesh’s body was found in a hanged state, it is learned. Speculations suggest that Rupesh could have fed the children poison and later killed himself.
Rupesh was married to Savita, a resident of Kanhangad. Due to marital trouble, the couple was allegedly living separately. Both children were living with their father, it is learned. It is being suspected that domestic problems may have led to the tragedy.
Chandera police visited the scene and are conducting an investigation.

No more photocopies: Centre launches new Aadhaar app with Face ID feature
New Delhi: The Centre on Tuesday launched a new Aadhaar mobile application aimed at enhancing digital convenience and privacy. The app was unveiled by Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, in the national capital.
The app allows users to verify and share Aadhaar details digitally, eliminating the need to carry physical copies or submit photocopies for identification. “New Aadhaar App, Face ID authentication via mobile app. No physical card, no photocopies,” said Vaishnaw in a video message on X.
Key features of the app include Face ID-based authentication and QR code scanning for Aadhaar verification, making the process as easy as a UPI payment. The minister highlighted that users can share only the required data with their consent, ensuring full control over their personal information.
Vaishnaw also stated that the app, currently in its beta testing phase, has been developed with strong privacy safeguards. It prevents misuse, forgery, or editing of Aadhaar details.
The digital tool aims to remove the need for Aadhaar photocopies at places like hotels, shops, and airports. Emphasising Aadhaar’s role in government initiatives, the minister also invited stakeholders to explore ways of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with India’s digital public infrastructure (DPI), keeping privacy as the central focus.
