Yadgiri: Sangh Parivar activist Chaitra Kundapur was on Monday stopped by police and sent back while she was enroute to Kalaburagi district through Yadgiri.

She was on her way to Kalaburagi to participate in the Aland Chalo program organized by Sangh Parivar to go to Ladla Mashak Darga in Aland for the purification of Shivalinga at the Dargah site on the occasion of Shivratri.

She was stopped after the District Administration had barred her entry into the district from February 27 – March 3 in the wake of the event. The DC had issued the orders after the SP submitted a report in this regard seeking a ban on entry of Chaitra and Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik in the district as it could disturb peace and harmony.

She was stopped by a team of Dy.SP Umesh Chikkamath, PI Santosh Hallor, PSI Mahantesh Patil while she was trying to go to Aland through Yadgiri on Monday evening. She was later sent back by the police party.

Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.

According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.

He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.

Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.

He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.

His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.

The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.

The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.

Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.

Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
