Assam hit-and-run case: Actor Nandini Kashyap arrested after 21-year-old student dies
Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, known for her recent box office success Rudra, has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run case in Guwahati. The arrest came after the 21-year-old student injured in the incident succumbed to his injuries, according to Guwahati Police. The incident took place in Dakhingaon area of Guwahati around 3 am on July 25. The victim, identified as Samiul Haque - a student of Nalbari Polytechnic and a part-time worker with the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) -succumbed to his injuries last night. According to CCTV footage, Haque was returning home after working on a light installation project when he was struck by a speeding Mahindra Scorpio, allegedly driven by Kashyap. Eyewitnesses claimed the actor fled the scene without offering any help to the injured youth. Following the incident, Haque's colleagues chased the vehicle and later tracked it down to an apartment complex in Kahilipara, where Kashyap reportedly tried to conceal the SUV. Videos of a heated exchange between her and the GMC workers quickly went viral on social media. Police had initially questioned Kashyap and seized her vehicle, but no arrest was made at the time, as the case was registered under bailable sections. However, following Haque's death, authorities escalated the charges to include culpable homicide not amounting to murder—a non-bailable offense. 'We arrested actor Nandini Kashyap today in connection with the hit-and-run case. With the victim's death, the charges have been upgraded, and she will be produced before a local court,' said Jayanta Sarathi Borah, DCP (Traffic), Guwahati Police told NDTV. Haque, who hailed from an economically disadvantaged family, was supporting his education at Nalbari Polytechnic by working part-time with the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC). According to his family, Haque sustained critical injuries in the incident, including severe head trauma, multiple fractures in both legs, and broken bones in his thigh and arm. He was initially admitted to Guwahati Medical College Hospital before being moved to a private hospital for advanced treatment. Despite efforts, he passed away in the ICU late Tuesday evening. The family also alleged that while Nandini Kashyap had initially assured them she would cover Haque's medical expenses, she never followed through or offered any assistance.

CCTV Shows Assamese Actor's SUV Killing Student In Guwahati Hit-And-Run
Guwahati: Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, whose recent movie 'Rudra' was a box office success, has been arrested in a hit-and-run case in Guwahati. The arrest followed the death of a 21-year-old student who was injured in the incident, said Guwahati Police. The hit-and-run had occurred in Guwahati's Dakhingaon locality around 3 am on July 25. The victim had been identified as Samiul Haque, a student at Nalbari Polytechnic who worked part-time for the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC). Haque, who had been working on a light project, was returning home when a speeding Scorpio allegedly driven by Kashyap ran him over, showed CCTV footage. The actor didn't stop to help the injured student and fled, eyewitnesses said. The victim died in the hospital last night. His colleagues, who had chased the vehicle after the hit-and-run, later traced it to an apartment in Kahilipara, where Kashyap allegedly tried to hide her SUV. Viral videos later showed a heated confrontation between them and the actor. The police had earlier seized Kashyap's car and questioned him in connection with the incident. She had then denied her involvement in the case. "We arrested actor Nandini Kashyap today in the hit-and-run case. Earlier, we had only questioned her since the case was initially filed under bailable sections. However, last evening, the victim died due to his injuries. So we added charges of culpable homicide amounting to murder, which is non-bailable. We have arrested her and will produce her in a local court," Jayanta Sarathi Borah, DCP (Traffic), Guwahati Police, told reporters. Haque came from a poor family and was funding his education with his part-time job at the GMC. His family said he suffered severe head injuries, multiple fractures in both his legs, and broken bones in his thigh and arm. He was first admitted to the Guwahati Medical College Hospital and was later shifted to a private hospital. He died in the ICU late Tuesday evening. Kashyap had initially promised to take care of Haque's medical treatment, but never turned up to help, they further alleged.

Kolkata beats other metros, reports more than 50% of good air days in 4 years: CSE study
KOLKATA: The city has taken the top spot with the best air quality among six key Indian metros, a study by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has revealed. Kolkata witnessed 791 days - over 50% of the total 1,550 days assessed - of 'very good' and 'satisfact-ory' air quality, highest among the metros. The findings, part of CSE's State of India's Environment in Figures 2025, analysed air quality data from Jan 1, 2021 to March 31, 2025. According to the study, Kolkata reported 368 days of 'very good' air and 423 days of 'satisfactory' air during this period. While only 231 days of 'moderate' air was recorded in the city, not a single day was reported in the 'severe' category. With fewer 'poor' and 'very poor' air quality days - 513 and 15 respectively - Kolkatans faced limited exposure to harmful pollution levels, which in turn meant better health, the analysis highlighted.

Significantly, the national capital's 284 'severe' air days was in sharp contrast to Kolkata's nil, an indication of the former's prolonged hazardous pollution levels. "Kolkata's success story is a result of several key policy decisions by PCB and their effective implementation by the local bodies," said West Bengal Pollution Control Board chairman Kalyan Rudra. "Using sprinklers to prevent dust-resuspension, deploying fire tenders at landfills, biomining of garbage heaps, shifting to clean fuel, use of smokeless chullah by food vendors and urban and rural poor have all been crucial in improving the city's air quality," he added. Rudra, however, cautioned that significant challenges remained in reducing emissions further. ' Clean Air project helps Kol improve AQI management ' Anumita Roychowdhury, an air quality expert with CSE, said the Centre's National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) helped track pollution levels and undertake remedial measures. Under the NCAP monitoring and compliance system, cities report their progress on the Central Pollution Control Board's PRANA portal, every quarter, defining the scope of action, setting targets to reduce pollution and indicating funding. "The performance-linked NCAP framework helped lay the foundations of national air quality management in non-attainment cities, such as Kolkata," said Roychowdhury. Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai recorded a high number of 'poor' AQI days, but dodged 'very poor' or 'severe' days, owing to their locations, weather and pollution sources. Air pollution in southern metros is primarily driven by vehicular emissions, dust and industrial activities. Mumbai presented a hybrid pattern. The city saw 145 'very good', 637 'satisfactory', 118 'moderate' and 649 'poor' AQI days. It largely stayed clear of 'very poor' and 'severe' levels, recording only one 'very poor' day and zero 'severe' days.
