Father kills 17-year-old for scoring low in NEET test, despite 90% in class 10
Sadhna Bhonsle
, a 17-year-old girl from Sangli in Maharashtra, scored 92.6% in her Class 10 board exams — marks that many students dream of. But over a year later, she lost her life because she scored poorly in a NEET mock test.
Sadhna was preparing for the
NEET exam
(National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), which is needed to get into medical colleges. While practising for the exam, she scored low in one of the mock tests. Her father, Dhondiram Bhonsle — a schoolteacher — became very angry.
In a fit of rage, he beat Sadhna badly with a stick. She was badly hurt, especially on her head, and was taken to Ushakal Hospital in Sangli. Sadly, she died before doctors could start treatment.

Chhattisgarh road accidents surge in 2024: Court flags black spots, coal traffic, and poor road safety
Representative Image RAIPUR: Road accidents in Chhattisgarh have seen a significant rise in 2024, with a 10.28% increase in incidents compared to the previous year. The number of fatalities rose by 9.50%, and injuries by 7.25%, according to data presented to the High Court by Court Commissioner Ravindra Sharma. In 2023, the state recorded 13,468 road accidents, which climbed to 14,853 in 2024. Fatalities increased from 6,166 in 2023 to 6,752 in 2024, and the number of injured persons rose from 11,723 to 12,573 during the same period. The Court Commissioner highlighted that "black spots" – accident-prone areas – identified in Raipur, Durg, Janjgir, Sakti, and Mungeli districts have not been rectified. He further noted a substantial increase in accidents in Korba and Surguja districts, by 25.44 per cent and 42.25 per cent respectively. Additional Advocate General Shashank Thakur, representing the State, attributed the increase in Korba and Surguja to the high volume of dumpers carrying coal in these coal-bearing areas. Sharma also drew the court's attention to the illegal practice of transporting passengers in goods vehicles, inadequate street lighting within municipal limits, and accidents caused by stray animals on roads. A Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Arvind Kumar Verma, has directed the Secretary, Department of Transport, Chhattisgarh, to file a personal affidavit addressing the issues raised by the Court Commissioner, particularly regarding the lack of street lights, poor road conditions, and stray animals contributing to accidents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo In response to a previous directive, the Regional Officer, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Raipur, filed an affidavit detailing corrective measures taken and proposed for black spots on NHs 2021, 2022, and 2023.

These FoBs are planned for Turkadih, Sendri, Madanpur, Melnadih & Karra villages, and Beltara town, all identified as high pedestrian traffic and accident-prone areas. Dhiraj Kumar Wankhede, counsel for NHAI, pointed out that dust from coal and fly ash transportation by trucks, particularly on the Korba-Raipur and Surajpur-Ambikapur roads, also contributes to accidents. He suggested that fly ash should be transported in capsules instead of open containers. The court has directed the impleadment of NTPC, Seepat, and South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), Bilaspur, as party respondents. The competent authorities of both companies have been instructed to file affidavits explaining the lack of precautions in coal and fly ash transportation.
