Bengaluru: In a tragic incident reported from the Kengeri Police Station limits in Bengaluru on Wednesday, a young man identified as Rakesh from Kallubalu village, Jigani, reportedly died by suicide after facing rejection from a young woman in the Kodigepally area. The unfortunate incident occurred in front of the young lady's residence.

According to the details, Rakesh, who was pursuing his graduation, had been in a relationship with the young woman for 5-6 years. However, the situation took a turn when Rakesh witnessed the woman walking with another man, leading to his feelings of rage. Expressing his displeasure, Rakesh called the woman, but she ignored his concerns. Enraged by her actions, Rakesh visited the young woman's house, urging her to reciprocate his feelings. However, the woman was annoyed by the incident.

Rakesh, feeling desperate, threatened to take his own life if the young woman did not reciprocate his feelings. Subsequently, he attempted suicide, but locals intervened, rescuing him and rushing him to Victoria Hospital. Unfortunately, Rakesh did not respond to the treatment and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday morning.

The city police have registered a case in connection with the incident and are currently conducting further investigations.

New Delhi, Nov 25: Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Monday dismissed as "rumours" talk of his resignation following the assembly polls debacle and stressed on "collective accountability" for the defeat.

Patole made the remarks after meeting Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge during which he conveyed that the result had not reflected the sentiments of the people of Maharashtra.

"Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and other national and state leaders were leading Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) from the forefront during the assembly polls. So, we were sure that the trends were in favour of Maha Vikas Aghadi, even the citizens believed that," the Maharashtra Congress chief said.

"If I talk about Nanded, the Lok Sabha bypolls and assembly elections were held on the same day. In Lok Sabha bypolls, our candidate was winning in six assembly seats, whereas, in the assembly elections, we are not winning even a single seat," he said, adding that there cannot be such a "huge difference".

This is the sentiment among the people also and they have stated that this government in Maharashtra was not being formed on their votes, he claimed.

"So, I spoke to Mallikarjun Kharge on this," he added.

Asked whether he had offered to resign or the party had asked for his resignation after the Maharashtra assembly polls defeat, Patole said, "These are all rumours and there is no truth in them. There is collective accountability."

Patole also said he will meet Rahul Gandhi in a day or two and discuss all issues.

"Democracy is being finished. We have discussed that... there was no talk of resignation," he said.

The MVA alliance, comprising the Congress, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) and Shiv Sena (UBT), was restrained to 46 seats by the Mahayuti that reaped a rich harvest of 230 seats in the 288-member House.
