The event draws participation from over 100 colleges across India every year. "He was supposed to leave the AFMC hostel on Sunday after the festival concluded but he missed his bus to Beed and stayed back," senior inspector Satyajit Admane of the Wanowrie police said.His parents came to Pune on Monday morning. "The student's father, a medical practitioner, told us that his son was on medication for depression. He was a bright student. Based on circumstances, we are prima facie not ruling out a death by suicide," Admane said."The student had posted a note on the display picture (DP) slot of his messaging application mentioning that he was fed up with life and his treatment for depression. He also sent a message to his mother on her cellphone," the officer said."The student's mother checked his DP after going through the message and called the Pune police control room from Beed around 5.30am. She informed the police about the message and the fact that her son had been at the AFMC event since May 8. She also told the police that his phone was switched off," Admane said.The police then got in touch with the AFMC authorities, who carried out an elaborate search of the premises. "The student was found dead in a sitting posture on a commode in the washroom with blood on the floor and a knife lying nearby. His belongings were also found nearby. The AFMC doctors later examined and declared him dead," the officer said.The AFMC's public relations officer told TOI, "No official statement is being issued by the college regarding the incident. A police investigation is going on."Admane said, "No one saw the student going to the washroom early Monday morning. Preliminary investigation established that the student ordered a knife online. It was found lying near the body and we recovered it. The student had been undergoing treatment for depression because of low attendance and academic pressure for about a year at the AIIMS-Bhopal."

Now Rajasthan cities told to remove stray dogs from roads, ensuring ‘minimal physical harm'
The Rajasthan High Court on Monday directed municipal corporations across the state to undertake a special drive to remove 'stray dogs and other animals' from the roads under their jurisdiction while ensuring 'minimum physical harm' to them. The court said that if anyone obstructs the municipal employees during this process, the officials 'will be free to take appropriate action against them under the relevant Municipal laws including lodging of the FIRs for obstructing public servants from performing their duties'. 'We expect from the general public that if due to their sentiments or religious beliefs or for love towards the animals, they want to feed them or offer food or take care of them, then they shall perform such activities at dog shelters and cattle ponds/gaushalas maintained by the municipalities or private individual/organisation,' the bench said. The court has also directed the Additional Advocate General to file a detailed report regarding the condition and maintenance of dog shelters and cattle ponds/gaushalas maintained by the municipal corporations. The report will also indicate the number of manpower available with each corporation for this task, apart from doctors and supporting staff appointed by them at the dog shelters and cattle ponds/gaushalas to take care of the animals. Additionally, the municipal corporations have been asked to make public a telephone number and an email ID where citizens can lodge their complaints regarding stray animals. As for national and state highways, the court directed the relevant authorities to ensure regular patrolling for the removal of stray animals. With AIIMS, Jodhpur, making a submission before amicus curiae Priyanka Borana about stray dog menace on the campus, the court directed the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation to take immediate measures, and Jodhpur district court to ensure removal of stray animals 'on priority basis'. The directions were passed after the court, on July 31, took suo motu cognizance of news reports on stray dog bites. Citing a report which quoted Press Information Bureau data, the court had said that there are 'alarming figures regarding dog bite cases in India' with 88,029 (2022); 1,03,533 (2023); 1,40,543 (2024) and 15,062 (January 2025) cases being reported from Rajasthan. 'This Court further finds that the stray dogs and cows have created menace not only on the city roads but also on State and National Highways, which declares these roads as highly unsafe for the citizens. The incidents due to stray dogs, cows and other such animals have increased immensely,' it had said. The court had appointed amicus curiae and issued notices to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways; National Highways Authority of India; Department of Urban Development and Housing, Rajasthan; and the Director, Local Bodies, Government of Rajasthan, among others. The matter has now been listed for September 8.

Doc not at fault if consent not given
Rajendra Yadav, a police constable, was admitted on April 30, 2015, to National Heart Institute in Delhi for acute chest pain. After an angiography, his wife and her brother-in-law were informed that there was significant coronary blockage which required immediate intervention. A coronary procedure performed on April 5, 2015, but the patient's condition worsened rapidly. The ICU staff telephonically informed the Medical Superintendent and the surgeon as the patient's vitals were crashing. The surgeon reached after an hour and put the patient on ventilator, but the patient expired in a few hours. Alleging death due to medical negligence, the family called the police, and the body was sent to AIIMS for postmortem. The DCP referred the matter to the Delhi Medical Council. The Council's Disciplinary Committee gave an adverse finding against the surgeon, but in appeal he was exonerated. The patient's widow, Kamlesh, approached the National Commission, claiming Rs 5.50 crore as compensation. The National Commission noted that even though Rajendra's wife was present in the hospital, she never signed any consent form. It observed that consent for the diagnostic procedure of angiography was signed by the patient's nephew, whereas the consent for surgical procedure of PTCA was signed later by the brother-in-law. Besides, the surgeon's assertion that various family members were present but none provided timely consent was not rebutted. Accordingly, by its order of July 24, 2025, delivered by the Bench of Justice Sudip Ahluwalia along with Anoop Kumar Mendiratta, the National Commission dismissed the complaint.
