Bengaluru police refute serial killer claims in Indiranagar, cite rowdy sheeter involvement
Bengaluru: Panic spread in Indiranagar on February 9 after social media messages claimed that a serial killer was attacking people in the area. However, police have dismissed these rumours, clarifying that the incident involved a rowdy sheeter and not a serial killer.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) East, D Devaraja, stated that the accused, who has a history of petty theft and multiple cases against him, attacked four people with a knife on the night of February 8. According to the police, he was intoxicated and got into an altercation with his family before turning violent and injuring four individuals. He then fled the scene.
The victims are receiving treatment and are out of danger. An FIR has been registered at Indiranagar Police Station, and efforts are underway to apprehend the accused.
Police have urged the public not to spread unverified information that could cause panic. They also noted that Indian law does not specifically define a serial killer, but the term generally refers to an individual who commits multiple homicides where the victims are unknown, and the crimes are not personally motivated.

LS passes bill to open up nuclear sector for private participation
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the nuclear energy bill with Union minister Jitendra Singh asserting that it would help India achieve its target of 100 GW atomic energy generation by 2047.
The Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, which seeks to open the tightly-controlled civil nuclear sector for private participation, was passed by voice vote amid a walkout by the opposition.
Singh termed the bill a "milestone legislation" that will give a new direction to the country's developmental journey.
"India's role in geopolitics is increasing. If we have to be a global player, we have to follow global benchmarks and global strategies. The world is moving towards clean energy. We too have set a target of 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047," he said.
The opposition contended that the bill diluted provisions of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010 that passed on the liability for a nuclear incident on to the suppliers of nuclear equipment.
