IISER supervisor faces ‘vicious trolling' after PhD scholar's death
1 2 Kolkata: PhD supervisor of the IISER-Kolkata scholar who recently died by suicide has alleged of being viciously trolled on social media. The professor at the institute's Biological Sciences department also said that the trolling has not only taken a toll on her mental and physical health but also affected her children and students. Before killing himself, Anamitra Roy had left behind a detailed Facebook post in which he mentioned recurrent physical and mental abuse since childhood, both at home and outside. He had also said that he was abused at the institute by a fellow scholar. The supervisor said on Wednesday, "The way I am being trolled... has affected everyone around me, including my children and elderly parents. The abuses that are being hurled at me have affected my career, image and the reputation of the dog lab. I am being tagged as a 'murderer' and a 'witch' and it seems that people have already convicted me without a trial. I am afraid to leave my home. So is my daughter. Several of my PhD students are seeking mental health support because of the treatment that is being meted out to them by some members of the IISER-Kolkata community, both on social media and outside the campus.

"I worked tirelessly for two years for an international conference scheduled for later this month. But I had to back out because of the trolling," she shared. The professor added that she hoped investigators would record her statement soon. "I want the truth to come out and am cooperating with the investigation. I interacted with Anamitra since his second year of BS, listened to his troubles, gave advice, and supported him. In fact, he did an internship with the lab and was associated with it ever since. He did his Masters thesis in my lab and decided to continue as a PhD student in the lab because he found the environment supportive and amicable. It was a huge personal loss to me." The supervisor's husband quit as the dean of student affairs following the incident after students protested against the negligence of the anti-ragging committee headed by him.

Double trouble for rule-breaking cops in Chandigarh
1 2 Chandigarh: In a move to clean up its own backyard, the UT police department has rolled out a no-nonsense directive: any police personnel caught flouting traffic rules will now face double the standard fine and a departmental inquiry. Issued by the DSP (traffic admin and south west Chandigarh), the order makes it crystal clear: whether in uniform or plain clothes, behind the wheel of a government vehicle or a private one — no cop is above the law. This crackdown comes in the wake of recent incidents where uniformed officers were caught red-handed violating traffic norms, with damning photos splashed across newspapers and social media. The department, keen to restore its image, is now taking a firm stand. Under Section 210(B) of the Motor Vehicle Act, enforcement officers who break traffic laws will be fined twice as much as ordinary citizens. And if that wasn't enough, they'll also face internal disciplinary action. The message? Disobedience will not be tolerated. From skipping helmets and seat belts to chatting on mobile phones while driving — violations that might have once slipped under the radar will now attract strict penalties. The department insists this move is essential to reinforce traffic discipline and ensure public safety. A senior police official stated that the motive behind imposing double penalties for enforcement officials is to highlight the importance of adhering to traffic rules, regardless of one's position or profession. "If a cop in uniform breaks the rules, how can he expect citizens to follow them? This isn't just about fines — it's about setting the right example." However, it is very rare to see a cop of Chandigarh police violating traffic rules in the city, another official added. While some officers claim such violations are rare, viral images of police vehicles ignoring zebra crossings or officers on calls while driving tell a different story. One constable even admitted that junior cops sometimes hesitate to ignore calls from seniors, a dilemma that's now under scrutiny. In Chandigarh, traffic violations carry varying fines depending on the severity and recurrence of the offence. For a first offence, failing to produce a driving licence incurs a fine of Rs 500, while driving without a licence attracts a hefty Rs 5000. Violating zebra markings or wrong parking each result in a Rs 500 fine initially, which increases to Rs 1000 for a second offence. Riding without a helmet or driving without a seat belt both lead to a Rs 1000 fine, regardless of whether it's the first or second offence. The use of a mobile phone while driving is penalized with Rs 2000 for the first offence and escalates sharply to Rs 10,000 for a repeat violation.

Separate parking area for VIP, police cars at airport
1 2 Kolkata: Bidhannagar police has introduced a designated free parking area for VIP and police vehicles near the old domestic terminal to prevent unauthorised parking in front of the main airport terminal. For several years, vehicles with beacons or govt identification plates were parked outside the terminal for extended periods while waiting for passengers, despite rules allowing only seven minutes of free parking in the area. The penalty for overstaying is Rs 500, but these vehicles are rarely fined. The problem increased after lane dividers with reflective strips were installed along the terminal frontage, from exit gates 1A/B to 2A/B, to direct vehicles into lanes for pick-up, drop-off, and through movement since the start of the week. TOI highlighted over the past two days how these VIP vehicles occupy the first lane, leading to traffic congestion.

We are in talks with the airport authorities to install a Flight Information Display System (FIDS), which shows arrivals, departures, gates, delays, and other real-time flight details, next to the VIP parking lot so that the drivers know the exact time of the flight arrivals," said a senior officer of Bidhannagar City Police. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Interested in Investing? Cyprus Offers Many Options Cyprus Invest | Search ads Undo Cops said they were urging the drivers of these VIP cars to move towards the terminal building only after the flight arrived and the passengers collected the luggage so as not to crowd outside the terminal. "Our officers will guide these vehicles to the terminal and ensure they no longer clog the channels," said the officer. Parking space for special cases has also been arranged at the third tier of the underground parking lot. The airport authorities and cops had tried a similar measure two years back but even then it hadn't paid off. Before the metro construction, a separate VIP parking lane existed under the elevated road to the departure terminal. This was removed to accommodate the project. On Wednesday, TOI found VIP vehicles were still parked near the terminal gates. These included state govt cars with beacons, police vehicles, and those belonging to politicians and magistrates. Some police and airport staff also parked motorcycles in the departure area. Under airport rules, vehicles can stay on the premises free for a maximum of seven minutes, with only three minutes allowed directly in front of the terminal gates. Longer stays require the use of the official parking zones. A senior airport official said the matter was discussed in coordination meetings, but the practice continues.
