Tumkuru: 18-year-old PUC student commits suicide after mother refuses to give mobile charger
Tumkuru: In an incident reported on Sunday, July 30, an 18-year-old boy allegedly took his own life after a dispute with his mother over a mobile charger. The young boy, identified as Nikhil Gowda, was studying in the 2nd year of PUC (Pre-University Course) at Shanti SSK College in Pavagada town.
According to police reports, the unfortunate incident occurred in Singareddy Halli village of YN Hoskote Hobli, Pavagada taluk. Nikhil's mother, Varalakshmi, who works as an Asha worker, had reportedly refused to give him a mobile charger, which led to a heated argument between them.
Frustrated and upset over not getting the charger, Nikhil is said to have thrown a tantrum demanding the charger. His mother informed him that she did not have one and left for their neighbor's house to prepare garlands of flowers.
Upon her return at around 2 pm on Sunday, Varalakshmi found the door locked from inside, and Nikhil did not open it. Worried neighbors gathered to help, and together they broke open the door. To their shock, they discovered Nikhil's lifeless body hanging from a hook on the ceiling, using his mother's saree as a noose.
The local authorities were alerted, and the YN Hoskote Police Station registered a case in connection with the incident. Sub-inspector Malappa Naykodi visited Nikhil's house to conduct a thorough investigation into the tragic event.
Nikhil's father had passed away eight years ago, leaving behind his mother to raise him.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
