Student threatens college lecturer with weapon in Mandya, video goes viral
Mandya: In an incident reported from Mandya town a video of a college student menacingly brandishing a lethal weapon while confronting his college lecturer has surfaced on social media, rapidly gaining traction.
According to reports, the young individual, a diploma student enrolled in a private college in Mandya, had reportedly accumulated a poor attendance record in his classes. The concerned lecturer took it upon themselves to communicate this issue to the student's parents, urging them to counsel their son on the significance of regular class attendance.
However, the student was evidently infuriated by the lecturer's advice, leading to a heated confrontation. The situation escalated to a point where the student resorted to threatening the lecturer with a deadly weapon. The shocking incident was captured on a mobile phone, resulting in a video clip that has since been widely circulated across social media platforms.
Bellur Police Station has since registered a case in connection to the incident. The cops then arrested the student and confiscated the weapon in question. Following his detention, the student was released after providing a written confession.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential repercussions of conflicts arising from academic and personal issues. It underlines the necessity for maintaining civility and open communication channels in educational institutions to prevent such disturbing occurrences from transpiring in the future.

President Donald Trump to feature on limited edition US passports
Washington (PTI): The State Department is all set to unveil a limited-edition US passport with pictures of President Donald Trump and the Founding Fathers to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence in July.
The special passports will be available only to those who show up in person at the Washington Passport Agency and not anywhere else across the country.
The Department of State shared images of the limited edition passports on its social media accounts.
One page of the passport carries Trump's image surrounded by the text of the Declaration of Independence and the American flag along with the president's signature in gold.
Another page features the famous painting of the founding fathers at the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The passports, which are set to be released this summer, are part of the Trump administration’s broader "America250" celebration, which also includes a Grand Prix race on the National Mall in August and a UFC fight on the White House South Lawn in June.
"As the United States celebrates America's 250th anniversary in July, @StateDept is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed US Passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said in a post on X.
A State Department official told Fox News Digital that the new designs will be available for "any American citizen" who applies for a passport when the rollout happens and will continue for as long as there is availability.
“These passports will feature customised artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the US Passport the most secure documents in the world,” Pigott said in a statement.
In October, the Department of Treasury proposed minting a one dollar coin featuring Trump’s image on it, to mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
According to draft images confirmed as real by US Treasurer Brandon Beach, one side of the coin would feature Trump’s profile, along with the words “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “1776-2026.”
The other side of the coin would feature Trump standing with a clenched right fist in front of an American flag and the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” — a reference to his chant after the 2024 assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
