Depressed over boyfriend not returning her money, Bengaluru model commits suicide
In a tragic incident in Bengaluru, the city police have arrested a young man named Akshay in connection with the suicide of a model and software company employee, Vidyashree. The incident occurred at her residence in Kempapura, Soladevanahalli, and has sent shockwaves through the community.
Vidyashree, a 25-year-old woman, had been dating Akshay for about a year. During their relationship, she had lent him a amount of Rs 1.76 lakh. However, things took a distressing turn when Vidyashree requested Akshay to return the borrowed money. Instead of complying with her request, Akshay allegedly responded with verbal abuse directed not only at Vidyashree but also at her family members.
Unable to cope with the emotional turmoil caused by Akshay's behavior, Vidyashree took the extreme step of ending her life on July 21. Tragically, she was found hanging at her home. Before her death, she left behind a death note, in which she held her boyfriend accountable for pushing her to take such a drastic step.
Following the suicide, Vidyashree's family filed a case at the Soladevanahalli Police Station. The police initiated an investigation into the matter, examining the circumstances that led to the young woman's suicide.
The investigating team of the police then arrested Akshay in connection with Vidyashree's death.

Railway minister announces launch of Kavach 5.0 for Mumbai's suburban trains
New Delhi (PTI): Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday announced the upcoming launch of the automatic train protection system Kavach 5.0 for Mumbai's suburban trains.
The railway ministry said the state-of-the-art safety and signalling system has been tailored for the suburban section in Mumbai.
"Kavach 5.0 is expected to significantly reduce the inter-train headway, enabling more trains to run safely and efficiently," it said.
Vaishnaw, along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, interacted with reporters to highlight the transformative progress in railway infrastructure across the state.
According to the railway ministry, Vaishnaw emphasised that infrastructure development is the cornerstone for increasing suburban services and projects worth nearly Rs 17,000 crore, covering more than 300 kilometres of new lines, are currently underway at a rapid pace.
"These initiatives aim to decongest existing lines, improve service frequency and cater to the ever-growing demand of Mumbai's suburban commuters," the ministry said.
Announcing a major upgrade in passenger comfort, Vaishnaw said 238 new air-conditioned suburban rakes, uniquely designed keeping in mind the needs of Mumbai's commuters, would soon be introduced.
"A major announcement during the interaction was the doubling of the Gondia-Ballarshah railway line, a 240-km strategic corridor, with an investment of Rs 4,819 crore," the ministry said.
"This key project connects Vidarbha and Marathwada, easing congestion and enabling faster passenger and freight movement. It will also strengthen Maharashtra's rail links with Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, boosting regional trade and integration," it added.
This infrastructure push was announced on April 7, when the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved four projects of the railway ministry with a total cost of Rs 18,658 crore.
