Mistaken identity sparks attack: Bank executive assaulted, bitten by dog during recovery visit
Hyderabad: What began as a routine debt collection turned into chaos on Thursday when a bank executive was assaulted—not just by a man he mistook for a customer, but also by the man's Rottweiler, which sank its teeth into his leg during the confrontation.
The incident occurred around 4.30 pm in Jawahar Nagar under the Madhura Nagar police station limits, leaving K Satyanarayana, 39, an RBL bank executive, injured and shaken.
According to police, Satyanarayana was on duty trying to locate one B Nandivardhan Rao, a customer with a pending 2 lakh credit card bill. Unable to pinpoint the address, he began asking around in the neighbourhood.
A tenant pointed him towards a man named 'Nandu' who lived on the building's first floor, unaware that Nandu was actually Sekhar, and not Nandivardhan.
Trusting the lead, Satyanarayana climbed the stairs and was informed by a relative that the person was not home.
As Satyanarayana descended and prepared to leave, Sekhar confronted him on the ground floor, irate over the insinuation that he was a defaulter. According to police, Sekhar learned from his family members that a bank executive had come by, inquiring about him and claiming he had a pending credit card bill.

"Angered by what he saw as a baseless accusation, Sekhar confronted the bank executive," said sub-inspector SNG Avinash Babu.
Despite the banker identifying himself and explaining the confusion, things spiralled fast. "He slapped me twice, smashed my phone, and then pushed his dog towards me. The Rottweiler lunged and bit my left leg," Satyanarayana said in his complaint to police.
Bruised and bitten, Satyanarayana rushed to a nearby private hospital and called his manager and colleagues for backup.
After treatment, they went straight to Madhura Nagar police station and lodged a complaint.
Police booked Sekhar under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including 115(2)–voluntarily causing hurt, 126(1)–wrongful restraint, 324(2)–mischief and 291–negligent conduct with respect to an animal.
"This was a case of mistaken identity. The bank executive was looking for someone else but approached Sekhar by mistake," said Avinash Babu. "The dog was not on a leash. Sekhar admitted the pet followed him downstairs and bit the man during the heated exchange. The dog was vaccinated," the SI said.
Police issued Sekhar a notice under section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, recorded his statement, and released him.

Madras high court upholds conviction of man and mother in dowry harassment case linked to suicide of wife and child
Madras high court upholds conviction of man and mother in dowry harassment case linked to suicide of wife and child HC upholds conviction of man, mother in connection with suicide of wife and child over dowry harassment Madras high court upholds conviction of man and mother in dowry harassment case linked to suicide of wife and child HC upholds conviction of man, mother in connection with suicide of wife and child over dowry harassment Madras high court upholds conviction of man and mother in dowry harassment case linked to suicide of wife and child 1 2 MADURAI: The Madras High Court confirmed the trial court order that convicted and sentenced a man and his mother in connection with the suicide of his wife and child over dowry harassment in Kanyakumari district. The court was hearing the appeal preferred by Anbarrasu, his father Asir David, and his mother Kasthuri, challenging the conviction and sentence imposed on them by the mahila court in Nagercoil in 2016. The prosecution's case is that Anbarrasu married Christilda Jane in 1994 in a church as per Christian rituals. A male child was born to them in 1995. Since Anbarrasu's brother married a woman from a wealthy family, he, along with his parents, ill-treated and harassed Jane, seeking more dowry. She also made a complaint in this regard to the Nagercoil All Women Police in 1999. Since Anbarrasu and Jane gave an undertaking that they would live in a separate house, the complaint was closed. Thereafter, the couple lived with their child in a rental house. Since Anbarrasu and his parents continued the harassment seeking dowry, Jane, along with her child, committed suicide by self-immolation in 2000. Based on the complaint of Jane's father, Vadasery Police registered a case against Anbarrasu, Asir David, and Kasthuri. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo In 2016, the trial court convicted and sentenced Anbarrasu, Asir David, and Kasthuri to undergo 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. Challenging the same, they preferred the present appeal. During the pendency of the appeal, Asir David died, due to which the charges against him were abated. Justice K K Ramakrishnan observed that the evidence of the family members about the demand for dowry and the harassment meted out to the deceased in furtherance of the demand for dowry was cogent, clear, and without any infirmities. Hence, the court had no reason to disbelieve their testimony. They were the best persons to speak about the harassment caused to the deceased. The judge observed that in the complaint lodged in 1999, the deceased narrated all the incidents and helplessly pleaded that her family was not in a position to meet the demand for dowry. Therefore, the prosecution showed circumstances and evidence to presume the continuous dowry demand, which drove the deceased to self-immolate herself along with her child. Hence, the judge confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed on Anbarrasu and Kasthuri and dismissed the appeal preferred by them.

Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong charged under Beijing-imposed security law for second time
AP image Prominent Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong on Friday was charged with conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security under a Beijing-imposed law that critics say has crushed Hong Kong's once-thriving pro-democracy movement. The prosecution was the second time Wong has been charged under the sweeping national security law. He was already convicted in a separate subversion case linked to an unofficial primary election and was sentenced last year to four years and eight months in jail for that charge. The prosecution accused Wong, 28, of conspiring with fellow activist Nathan Law and others to ask foreign countries, institutions, organisations or individuals outside of China to impose sanctions or blockades, or engage in other hostile actions, against Hong Kong and China. They also said he disrupted the formulation and implementation of laws and policies by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments, and that the act was likely to have serious consequences. The alleged offenses occurred between July 2020 and November 2020. The prosecution didn't elaborate on the accusations in court. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. After hearing the charge in court, Wong, who wore a blue shirt and was visibly thinner, said he "understood" the charge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The case was adjourned to August. National security police arrested Wong in Stanley, an area in southern Hong Kong, over the national security charge and also on suspicion of "dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offense," police said in a statement. Wong rose to fame in Hong Kong in 2012 as a high school student leading protests against the introduction of national education in the city's schools. Two years later, he became world famous as a leader of the Occupy Movement. In 2016, Wong co-founded a political party named Demosisto with fellow young activists Law and Agnes Chow. In the 2019 pro-democracy movement, Wong helped seek overseas support for the protests. His activism led Beijing to label him an advocate of Hong Kong's independence who "begged for interference" by foreign forces. Demosisto disbanded when Beijing imposed the security law in 2020. The Chinese and Hong Kong governments said the law brought back stability to the city. In 2023, Hong Kong authorities offered rewards of 1 million Hong Kong dollars ($127,600) for information leading to the arrests of Law, who moved to Britain, and some other overseas-based activists.

Ukraine claims 'successful' night-time strikes on two Russian airfields
Russia Ukraine war (AP) KYIV: Kyiv said on Friday that it had launched "successful" strikes on two military airfields inside Russia that Kyiv said were used to stage aerial attacks on Ukraine. Russian and Ukrainian bombardments have escalated in recent weeks despite a flurry of diplomatic efforts spearheaded by the United States aimed at halting Moscow's more than three-year invasion. The announcement came just after Russia pummelled Ukraine with dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones in apparent retaliation for an audacious Ukrainian drone assault on several other airfields deep inside Russia last week. The Ukrainian military said it had attacked the Engels airfield in the Saratov region that lies hundreds of kilometres from Ukraine, calling the facility "a place of concentration of enemy aircraft." It also said it had struck the Dyagilevo airfield near Moscow where "refuelling and escort" jets are based that aid Russian aerial assaults on Ukraine. Kyiv additionally claimed it had hit "at least three fuel and oil tanks" in Saratov, and vowed to continue attacks on military targets until Moscow's invasion is "completely stopped." Saratov governor Roman Busargin said drone strikes had damaged a residential building in the city of Engels, adding there were no civilian casualties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Unverified footage on social media showed a high-rise building on fire and a large blaze at what local media reported was an oil depot.
