Man attempts suicide in front of Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man allegedly attempted suicide by consuming poison in front of the Vidhana Soudha here on Saturday, police said.
The condition of the man, Nagendrappa, an accused in a "moral policing" case registered at the Soladevanhalli police station, is stated to be stable, they added.
The BJP, however, hit out at the Congress government in Karnataka, claiming that Nagendrappa was being harassed by the police for exposing illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. This allegedly led to the suicide attempt.
In a post on X, the Karnataka BJP questioned the Congress government for not showing the courage to track down and arrest illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
"Honourable Home Minister (G Parameshwara), as your department has failed to perform its duty, citizens themselves are identifying illegal immigrants in the interest of national security. Instead of deporting illegal immigrants, what justice is it to subject those who identify them to police torture?" the post said.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
