Pune: The Dehu Road police are searching for a man who is on the run after stabbing a 16-year-old youth to death and assaulting the victim's 14-year-old cousin. The incident happened late on Wednesday night on an open plot near Sainathnagar.
The victim's body was found in a forest area near Thomas Colony in Dehu Road in the early hours of Thursday.
"The victim's cousin, who sustained a stab injury to his stomach, is undergoing treatment in a hospital in Dehu Road area," senior police inspector Vikram Bansode of the Dehu Road police told TOI. Bansode said, "Prima facie investigations revealed that the murder was the fallout of a dispute over the victim's relationship with a girl.
We have fanned three teams to trace the suspect."
The officer said that the victim just passed his SSC examination and was helping his father in their bakery business. "For the last few months, the youth was in a relationship with a girl from the Somatane Phata area. The suspect, who is the girl's friend, was against this relationship. A few months ago, he had heated arguments with the victim over the same issue," the officer said.
Bansode said that on Wednesday around 10pm, the youth left home after receiving a call from the suspect. He went to an open plot near Sainathnagar. "The duo entered into a dispute over the girl, following which the victim called his cousin and told him to come there," Bansode said.
He said that the victim's cousin told the police that when he reached there, he saw his brother and the suspect having heated arguments. The suspect suddenly stabbed the victim with a knife.
When the cousin tried to intervene, the suspect stabbed him too. "The cousin then fled from there and alerted his friends and family members. His friends admitted him to a hospital and alerted the police," he said.
Bansode said that the police rushed to the spot but found nothing there. "Our 50 men carried out searches through the night in the forest area and found the victim's body in the early hours of Thursday. He had injuries on his throat and stomach," Bansode said.
The police have found a knife and a mobile handset at the spot. "Investigations so far revealed that the suspect hails from Gopalganj district in Bihar. He earlier used to stay at Chikhali and worked in a private company. We will soon arrest him," Bansode said.

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.
