Claims of forging teacher's signature, taunts led to suicide, say batchmates as dental student at Sharda University dies by suicide
An eerie silence prevailed at Mandela Girls Hostel, home to Jyoti, a 21-year-old Bachelor of Dental Surgery student at Sharda University, for the last two years. Room 1209, part of a four-room apartment located on the 12th floor, stood locked on Saturday, hours after Jyoti was found hanging inside. The incident would later lead to the arrest of faculty members Dr Mahinder Singh Chauhan and Dr Shairy Vashist on the charge of abetment of suicide. Jyoti's batchmates remembered her as intelligent and bright. 'I have her notes that we prepared for the last semester,' said a student. Another student said, 'It all began a week ago. What happened to her, happens to all of us here almost every day, she just could not take it.' According to her batchmates, the 'humiliation' began last Friday when Jyoti went to obtain the signature of Dr Chauhan on her practical file. 'Our second-year exams will begin from Tuesday. Before that we have to finish all lab work and complete our files for all six subjects,' said one student. 'We were all waiting in line for Dr Chauhan. She was just ahead of me. When her turn came, she handed over her file to him. Moments before the professor would sign, he flipped the pages and looked at the signature on her last practical work. He then claimed, 'These are not my signature… you have forged it',' the student added. 'As she denied his claims, the professor asked her to leave immediately. She left in tears. Her file was confiscated and a call was made to her parents,' another student said. On Monday, Jyoti's father visited the university and requested the professors to not mistreat her, the students said. 'But yesterday, when she went to collect her file, she was taunted for complaining about the teachers to her parents. 'Both (Dr Chauhan and Dr Vashist) were looking at our practical files. When her turn came, they started to taunt her. She was in tears again…,' a student said. Once classes were over on Friday, the 21-year-old was seen returning to her room. 'She was found dead around 8.45 pm by her friend, who had gone to check on her after her parents called to say that Jyoti was not answering their calls,' the student added.

Supplying MDMA at parties, gyms; 2 held
Bhopal: The Bhopal Crime Branch on Saturday claimed to have arrested two drug peddlers and seized 15.14 grams of MDMA powder, a scooter, and a mobile phone—collectively worth approximately Rs3 lakh. This crackdown is part of an ongoing operation targeting 'the growing party drug culture among the youth'. So far in 2025, the Crime Branch seized 40 grams of MDMA powder from five accused persons. According to additional DCP (Crime Branch) Shailendra Singh Chauhan, the accused, Saifuddin, 28, a resident of Bhoipura Budhwara and a wanted criminal carrying a bounty of Rs5,000, was arrested alongside Ashu alias Shahrukh, 28, a resident of Bag Farhat Afza Aishbagh. Saifuddin was absconding in a previous narcotics case. Supplied MDMA in Club Parties, Exploited Girls: Cops Additional DCP Chauhan said that it was revealed that the accused reportedly supplied MDMA powder at club parties and allegedly exploited women by getting them addicted to the drug. According to police, some girls visiting clubs were provided free drugs to attract more youth into the party circuit. The accused also lured young people by promising high-paying jobs to get them involved in party culture and drug use.

There are even allegations that a quack treating depression misled a patient under the guise of therapy and initiated them into drug use. The drug was provided free initially to build dependence and was later sold at a high price. Arrest Made Near Govindpura On Tip-Off DCP Chauhan said that acting on a tip-off, a Crime Branch team nabbed the duo near the tin shed vegetable market in Govindpura.

The best way and time to consume curd during summer is…
Who doesn't love a bowl of chilled curd during summer afternoons? Refreshing, tasty, and often believed to cool the body, it is a popular staple in the Indian diet during the hotter months. But turns out that curd, when not consumed correctly, could actually cause the opposite effect. According to Ayurveda, curd isn't as 'cooling' as it seems; it is considered heating in nature, especially after digestion. This may sound not very clear. After all, curd feels cold when you eat it. But Ayurveda doesn't just go by taste or temperature. It looks at how a food behaves once inside the body. 'Curd tends to produce heat and increase pitta (the fire element) and kapha (which can cause heaviness and mucus). So, if eaten at the wrong time or in the wrong way, it can lead to problems like acidity, skin breakouts, bloating, or sluggish digestion,' said Dr Pratap Chauhan, Founder and Director of Jiva Ayurveda. Kanikka Malhotra, consultant dietician and certified diabetes educator, somewhat agreed, saying that the idea that curd is cooling in nature is largely anecdotal. 'Nutritionally, curd's high water content and probiotics may contribute to a refreshing and hydrating effect, which could be perceived as cooling. However, there is no scientific evidence that curd directly lowers body temperature,' she told 'While timing doesn't specifically enhance a cooling effect, it does optimize digestive benefits. The perceived cooling sensation might be due to curd's hydrating properties and its soothing effect on the digestive system,' she added. But don't worry, you don't have to stop eating curd altogether. Eating it correctly at the right time is the key to enjoying your favourite side. 'Curd isn't harmful when eaten correctly — in fact, it can support digestion and improve gut health. But the timing, combination, and quantity matters, especially during hot weather,' said Dr Chauhan. Here's how to make the most of it: Best time to eat: Lunch, when your digestion is strongest. Avoid at night: Curd at night can lead to mucus, heaviness, or even disturbed sleep. Never eat plain curd. To make it lighter on digestion, mix in a pinch of black pepper and roasted cumin or turn it into chaos (spiced buttermilk). Don't pair curd with: Fish, onions, or heavy meals — these combinations can disturb digestion and create toxins in the body Curd may not be suitable for everyone — especially during summer. 'If you often experience issues related to heat or mucus buildup in the body, frequent acidity or heartburn, try to avoid it. For those suffering from skin problems like acne, rashes, or inflammation, along with respiratory issues such as cough, cold, or sinus congestion, the same suggestion applies,' he added. For summers, Dr Chauhan suggested replacing the good old curd with buttermilk with cumin and a dash of rock salt, which is much lighter and more cooling. 'It doesn't cause heaviness or increase heat in the body. In Ayurveda, it's known to balance all three doshas (body energies) — making it ideal for daily use during hot months,' he added.

India together with Israel and Turkey in..., CDS Anil Chauhan exposes Pakistan, Islamabad on high alert due to...
India together with Israel and Turkey in..., CDS Anil Chauhan exposes Pakistan, Islamabad on high alert due to... India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan recently spoke about the brief four-day clash between India and Pakistan that took place in May. He revealed that during this time, Pakistan sent several drones into Indian territory, but many of those drones didn't even work properly. In fact, some were found in nearly perfect condition. CDS Chauhan was speaking at an event in Delhi, where he emphasized that modern wars can't be won with outdated systems. He praised the quality of weapons made in India and highlighted the country's growing strength in using tactical drones while putting India in the same position as countries like Israel and Turkey. Talking about the attack, he said that Pakistan had used drones without weapons and also launched 'loitering munitions.' These are special types of drones that hover in the air and strike when they spot a target. However, none of these caused any harm to Indian soldiers or civilians. Most of the drones were shot down, and some were recovered without damage. This action was part of Operation Sindoor, which was launched on April 22, right after a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Made-in-India anti-drone systems are very important CDS Chauhan has said that Indian-made weapons played a key role in Operation Sindoor. He stressed how important it is for India to build its own counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) technology systems that can detect and shoot down enemy drones. He explained that this operation proved how crucial such systems are for our safety. He said India must rely on its own strength and build what it needs, rather than depending on other countries. He added that recent wars around the world have shown that drones can completely change the course of a battle and therefore India must be ready with the right technology. CDS on buying defence technology from other countries General Chauhan also said that buying defence technology from other countries is not a good long-term strategy. It makes India dependent and weakens our ability to respond quickly in times of crisis. If we build everything in India i.e. from design to final product, we not only protect our secrets but also lower costs, increase production, and stay better prepared. He added, 'When we build our own defence systems, it becomes harder for the enemy to know our real strength. That gives us an advantage — we can surprise them when needed.'
