The dispute, concerning Mallikarjuna's land, had been under litigation within the Kadur Civil Court. Despite filing an appeal against the initial ruling, Mallikarjuna found himself facing another setback when the court upheld its decision against him. Feeling unjustly treated, Mallikarjuna resorted to drastic measures, consuming poison at the court premises.

Mallikarjuna was immediately taken to the taluk hospital for initial treatment. He was subsequently transferred to Hassan Hospital for further care. Fortunately, Mallikarjuna's life was saved, averting the imminent danger posed by the ingestion of poison.

Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.

Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.

His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.

The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.

This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.

Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
