Police said Jyoti left a
suicide note

They mentally harassed me They humiliated me. I have been in stress because of them for a long time. I want them to face the same thing. I am sorry. I can't live like this anymore. I can't."
In his FIR, Jongda alleged that the university officials and staff did not inform police and family members and took the body to Sharda Hospital.
Police said they had lodged an FIR under the section 108, 238, 79, 352, 351 (2) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.
"Two faculty members - Mahinder and Shairy - have been arrested and further investigation is on in this case," Sudhir Kumar, additional DCP, Greater Noida, told PTI.

"We have suspended those who were involved in this case and ordered an investigation. The report will be submitted within five days. We will take strict action against those who are responsible for it," he said.
Jongda also alleged in the FIR that evidence regarding his daughter's suicide was destroyed by the university staffers.
"On Monday, I went to the college and met Dean M Siddarth, Anurag Awasthi and Ashish Chaudhary (HOD) and others and they assured me that Jyoti will not be personally tortured nor will she be mistreated in any way, but even after that all of them together harassed my daughter," he added in FIR.
He also alleged that his daughter was warned of punishment if she "complained too much".
The FIR further said, "On 17/07/2025, Mahendra and Shairy Madam and Ashish Chaudhary again misbehaved and threatened that your work will not be approved and they will not allow you to take the exam, regarding which a suicide note of my daughter has been received."

Patiala cops demolish drug trafficker's illegal house
1 2 Patiala: As part of its intensified anti-drug campaign, Patiala police on Tuesday demolished an unauthorised house built by the family of a notorious female drug trafficker on government land in Rorikutt Mohalla, a locality identified as a drug hotspot. Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Varun Sharma confirmed that the family had been involved in 26 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The illegal structure was constructed by Seema, her husband Sompal, and other family members on land belonging to the public works department. SSP Sharma said that Seema alone faces 16 NDPS cases, Sompal has four, and Seema's mother-in-law is named in approximately six cases. The department concerned had requested police assistance to remove the encroachment, and security was provided during the demolition. Under the Punjab government's 'War Against Drugs' campaign, SSP Sharma said the action sends a strong message to drug traffickers to abandon the illegal trade and choose a better path. He reiterated that Patiala police will continue to take strict action against such elements under the zero-tolerance policy on drug trafficking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Are Ditching Finger Pricks with This Breakthrough Monitor Zakdavi Undo At the same time, SSP Sharma emphasised the police's commitment to rehabilitating individuals trapped in drug addiction.

Asked for a toilet that flushed...: Indian-origin British man Harpinder Chauhan recounts ordeal at US detention center, was called 'chihuahua'
Indian-origin British businessman said he was denied a proper working toilet, his medicine at ICE detention center. Indian-origin British businessman who had lived in the United States since 2016 was detained by the ICE in February after his barbecue franchise in Florida bankrupted him and he got into trouble with his taxes. In June, he was deported to the UK. But the three months he spent at several ICE detention centers were no less than a nightmare, the 56-year-old businessman told the Human Rights Watch. After his arrest, he was shackled when he was taken to the center where there were too many detainees and no bed, no showers or privacy. 'I used my shoes as a pillow. We had no cups for water, just a toilet with a half-wall for privacy,' he said. His family provided the ICE officers with his asthma inhaler, insulin medicine but those were never delivered to him. Chauhan said he spent the following months in three detention centers: Krome, FDC and BTC with the condition of each of them worse than the others. 'They told us if we kept asking for a toilet that flushed, they would create a problem we wouldn't like,' he said. At one center, he collapsed and had to be hospitalized. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy the Dip: Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read More Undo His son Aaton told Human Rights Watch that he received a call from a relative of his father's cellmate but the center staff did not inform him about anything. When he finally managed to get the details of the hospital and called there, they told him no patient by the name of 'Harpinder Chauhan' was there. Later, he was told that the ICE authorities asked the hospital not to disclose any information, as he was in custody. Chauhan recalled another incident where an officer made fun of his last name and called him 'chihuahua' instead of Chauhan. In May, a judge ruled for his removal to the UK but the ICE officers said they lost his passport and he could only come home to the UK in June. Chauhan said he did not enter the US illegally but had an E-2 investor visa as he launched several small businesses. He filed for permanent residency through an approved EB-5 visa petition, but after his barbecue franchise got bankrupt, he got into tax troubles that landed him with the ICE.
