Ullal: Body of missing man found inside unused well in Kolya, suicide suspected
Ullal: The dead body of a 44-year-old man, identified to be Prasad, a resident of Kujumagadde in Kolya under Someshwara Town Municipality, who had gone missing from his house since Friday afternoon, was found on Saturday near his house in a well that was unused and also dried up.
The local fire squad arrived at the spot and got Prasad’s body out of the well. As the deceased man is said to have been in a state of depression the last few days, his death is suspected to be an act of suicide.
Prasad, who was a native of Gordandu in Jeppu, was the eldest son of his parents and is survived by his parents, his two brothers and a sister. The family had shifted to Kolya a few years ago. Prasad was a bachelor and worked as a painter.

Prasad, who was found to have been in low spirits for a few days now, went missing from his house on Friday afternoon.

The missing man’s body is learned to have been found in the unused well accidentally, as a neighbour looked into the well situated near Prasad’s house in Kolya out of curiosity.
Ullal Police have registered a case and the officers are conducting an investigation. Prasad’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.

French President Macron urges halt to arms deliveries to Israel for Gaza attacks
Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday called for a suspension of arms deliveries to Israel amid its ongoing military operation in Gaza, emphasising the need for a political solution. In an interview with France Inter, Macron stated that "the priority is that we return to a political solution and stop delivering weapons to fight in Gaza." He clarified that France is not providing arms to Israel.
The United States supplies approximately $3 billion in military aid to Israel annually. In May, the US State Department acknowledged it was "reasonable to assess" that Israeli forces used these arms in ways that could violate humanitarian law but did not block further shipments. Similarly, the United Kingdom suspended some arms exports to Israel in September, citing potential violations of international humanitarian law.
Macron reiterated his concern that ongoing hostilities, which have now affected neighboring Lebanon, could exacerbate regional instability. He stressed that preventing an escalation in Lebanon is crucial, as "Lebanon cannot become a new Gaza."
The attacks on Gaza have already resulted in significant casualties. Israel's offensive on Gaza has led to over 41,825 deaths, mostly civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
