Actress Sumi Har Choudhury found wandering in Bardhaman; police try to locate her family
Adbhut Mugdhota - Dwitiyo Purush
Former Bengali actress Sumi Har Choudhury was reportedly found wandering on the roadside near Amila Bazar in West Bengal's Purba Bardhaman district on July 14.
'I'm Sumi Har Choudhury, an actress'
According to Indian Express, dressed in shorts and a black shirt, she was spotted scribbling on paper and speaking incoherently in both Bengali and English.
Her disoriented appearance initially confused onlookers until she softly declared, 'I'm Sumi Har Choudhury, an actress.
'
But for the group of kind-hearted locals at Khandaghosh, her story began to unfold after they looked up her name online. Reportedly, the residents who saw her didn't believe her when she kept on repeating that she was an actor. Only after seeing her pictures, they got to know the truth.
'She has been moved to a shelter home" - Police says
She reportedly gave inconsistent details about her background, sometimes saying she was from Kolkata, and at other times from Bolpur.
According to police, she was once a resident of Behala in Kolkata and may have spent time in Bolpur. 'She has been moved to a shelter home. We have informed the Behala Police Station and are trying to contact her family,' said Abhishek Mandal, Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Bardhaman Sadar South.
Work front
Sumi Har Choudhury, who once worked in side roles in well-known Bengali films like 'Dwitiyo Purush' and 'Khashi Katha: A Goat Saga' (starring Naseeruddin Shah), as well as serials such as Rupsagore Moner Manush and Tumi Ashe Pashe Thakle, had largely faded from public memory. 'Dwitiyo Purush' was directed by Srijit Mukherjee and had the actors Parambata Chatterjee, Rwitobroto Mukherjee, Anirban Bhattacharya, and Raima Sen in pivotal roles.
The Bengali film had received good reviews from both audiences and critics. 'Khashi Katha: A Goat Saga' was helmed by Judhajit Sarkar. The film also received good reviews.

Julian Brown disappearance: Missing metro Atlanta inventor said 'I'm certainly under attack' in shocking final post
Young metro Atlanta inventor Julian Brown, who has been missing for about two weeks, shared an unsettling last social media post before his disappearance. The circumstances around Brown's disappearance remain unclear, but many on social media believe he may have been targeted for his invention. Brown recently went viral for his invention – 'Plastoline' – which converts old plastics into usable fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Julian Brown disappearance: Missing metro Atlanta inventor said 'I'm certainly under attack' in shocking final post (Naturejab/Facebook) Julian Brown's final social media post In Brown's last Instagram post before he went missing, he was seen saying in a video that some 'very, very, odd stuff' was going on that "I'm certainly under attack.' He added that could not 'go into so much detail,' and urged his followers to have their 'eyes open.' He added that he was still 'working' and 'building,' and nothing was going to stop that. The July 9 post was captioned, 'Something is happening keep me in your prayers please SCREEN RECORD THIS. I don't know e'. Julian Brown's invention Brown's groundbreaking invention, Plastoline, is a machine that transforms old plastics into useful fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Brown was concerned about environmental problems as a teenager, and spent years experimenting and perfecting the product, according to y!entertainment. In a March 2025 interview with Bold Journey, Brown shared that the main obstacle in his 'plastic to fuel mission' was lack of proper funding. 'I simply refuse to go down the traditional venture capital investment route,' he said. 'I believe this technology has major implications for all of humanity, only in the right hands.' Brown added, 'Diluting much of my ownership and equity early on just for the idea of a smoother path to monetary goals never ser right with me. I believe I can utilize the power of the internet, the power of democracy, and the power of perseverance to garner all funds I need. I have continued to search for and apply to grants. I am always looking for ways to expand my reach. I have just launched JABAROMA, an all natural products brand.'

Who is Julian Brown? Missing metro Atlanta inventor went viral for his unique solution to turn waste into fuel
A young metro Atlanta inventor, who previously made headlines for his unique solution to turn waste into fuel, has been missing for two weeks, according to social media posts. Julian Brown, in his 20s, recently went viral for his invention – 'Plastoline' – which converts old plastics into usable fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Who is Julian Brown? Missing metro Atlanta inventor went viral for his unique solution to turn waste into fuel (Naturejab/Facebook) No major outlets have reported on or confirmed Brown's alleged disappearance. However, netizens believe he may have been targeted for his invention as he shared a few concerning social media posts before going missing. His final post read, 'Something is happening keep me in your prayers please SCREEN RECORD THIS. I don't know e.' Who is Julian Brown? Brown, who has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, is a 776 Foundation Climate Fellow and founder of NatureJab. His groundbreaking invention, Plastoline, is a machine that transforms old plastics into useful fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Brown, who was concerned about environmental problems as a teenager, spent years experimenting and perfecting the product, according to y!entertainment. He even launched a GoFundMe campaign with a $1 million goal to make his vision come true. Brown told Bold Journey about his invention in a March 2025 interview. 'My name is Julian Brown and I am an innovator of Microwave Pyrolysis; a process that turns plastic waste into fuel,' he said. 'I have dedicated the last 5 years of my life, starting in high school to this journey. My only background is in welding, I am certified in Stick, Mig, and Tig welding. I begun this journey because I saw a huge lack in the industry of all things recycling. We are told recycling is occurring, yet any observance to our natural world would show otherwise.' Brown previously also opened up about his vision in an interview with The Root, saying, 'The very issue we have is the production of plastic. The reason why recycling hasn't been done is because it hasn't been profitable. But now, we are able to make a product of super high value out of something that otherwise is just seen as waste.' Brown, who was born in Tennessee, began welding when he was 17 years old and in high school. 'In order to build a plastic into a fuel reactor, you need to know how to weld,' he said. 'It's great to have these skills because they can be used in your personal life, just as much as they can in business.' 'Beyond all I do, I really want the impact to go far beyond anything physical,' Brown further said. He added, 'If we immediately give up in our own minds before we even begin to find a solution, then how are we gonna get anywhere? Instead, we should come at it from a mindset of 'How can this be done' instead of 'Can this be done.'' Brown recalled that he wished to make something that would change the world when he was just a little boy. 'When I was five years old, I told my mom that I was gonna create something that would change the world,' he recalled. 'It's always been within me — I just never knew what it was gonna be.' Brown added that as long as he is around, 'there will be no such thing as plastic waste — only untapped energy.' Brown had traveled to Vancouver, Washington, to get his recycled diesel tested with some heavyweights in fuel testing, ASAP Labs. Some slammed his alternative energy as 'horrible fuel' that would 'destroy engines,' but his samples passed with flying colors in May this year. In fact, his samples showed more favorable results than its industry competitors. 'It looks like it definitely burned cleaner,' an employee at ASAP Labs confirmed in a documentation of the fuel's results. 'It appears that this diesel probably burns cleaner than typical diesel.' The lab employee admitted that he was skeptical of Brown's invention, but also revealed that they run thousands of tests, and 'the results don't lie.'
