  • Grief Turns to Protest: The Tragic Suicide of a 21-Year-Old Student at Sharda University

    Medical Student Suicide By Harassment By Professors At Sharda University In Greater Noida Yet another young life has been extinguished. Across yet another campus, silence weighs heavy, sorrow lingers, and now a new shade of rage has settled upon the campus. Sharda University at Greater Noida stands at the heart of mourning and turmoil, after a 21-year-old student was found dead by suicide inside the on-campus boys’ hostel. The incident has set off not only cascades of grief, but also a tempest of protest from students who are calling for answers, accountability, and above all, change. What Happened? On July 30 evening, a 21-year-old undergraduate in his second year was found hanging in his hostel room. Though no formal suicide note was ever uncovered, the circumstances have cast disturbing light on the campus environment. His friends say he exhibited unmistakable signs of stress for several weeks. Whereas some lay the blame on academic stress, others argue that underlying mental health issues and insufficient emotional support systems could have been the underlying causes. There can be no doubt that a promising life was snuffed out far too prematurely. . From Mourning to Movement With the news of the catastrophe traveling, grief swiftly escalated into unrest. Students streamed out of campus hostels and classrooms, urging university authorities to be transparent. Candle marches slowly transformed into well-organized demonstrations. They put pivotal questions to the forefront: Why did no intervention occur, even though the student displayed clear signs of distress? How can campus mental health resources still be so scarce and so hard to reach? Why is it that institutions only respond once a tragedy has occurred? Protesters are mourning more than one student; they are exposing a broken system that continually disappoints the youth, over and over. A Pattern We Must Not Turn A Blind Eye On Sadly, a student has already taken his own life in a college hostel, and unless meaningful measures are put into place, others will surely follow. Student suicides are on the rise nationwide in India. NCRB statistics indicate that, in 2023 alone, more than 13,000 students lost their lives to suicide. This amounts to almost 36 students every day. These figures are far more than statistics. These are the lives of real individuals, thwarted dreams, and hoped-for futures all taken away. Each time an incident such as this occurs, the same pattern unfolds: a brief burst of indignation, empty assurances, and a mute return to inaction, until the next life is taken. Campus Mental-Health Needs India’s college campuses are meant to be havens of learning and advancement. Yet for countless students, these campuses turn into zones of unremitting pressure, isolation, and anxiety about failure. Mental health continues to be treated as taboo. Assuming that counseling cells even do exist, they are chronically short on staff, scarce in funding, and difficult to access. Students frequently have no idea where to seek help, or whom to approach. And by the time anyone apparently decides to do something—well, it is always too late. It is not enough to keep repeating “rest in peace” unless we also ask, how is it that they were not accorded the peace they deserved to live in? The Demands put forth by the protesting students - The demonstrating students at Sharda University have set out distinct demands: An open-minded inquiry into the incident. Instituting a round-the-clock professional mental health helpline Mandatory regular screenings of students’ mental health. Robust mentorship programs designed to fortify students in their academic endeavors and emotional well-being. Identifying and holding responsible anyone whose neglect may have played a part in the tragedy. They demand real change, more than empty words. Support—not surveillance. Healing - not hush-ups. Final Thoughts The 21-year-old who lost his life at Sharda University has now been added to the grim witness of students let down by the system. Even so, his death triggered an overflowing tide of collective mourning that has spurred collective action. If we do not hear now, when will we? We need to curb the romanticizing of students’ hardships as means of “character development” and instead acknowledge mental health as a fundamental, not an optional, right. Every student is entitled to feel safe, be heard, and receive support—not just in their studies, but in all areas of their lives. May this tragedy function as a catalyst rather than just becoming an additional headline. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #ShardaUniversity #StudentSuicide #MentalHealthMatters #JusticeForStudents #CampusSupportNow #GriefToProtest #21AndGone #StopStudentSuicides #WeNeedChange #ListenToStudents

  • The Kerala Lamborghini: A Dream on Wheels Built for Just ₹1.5 Lakh

    Kerala Man Builds His Dream Lamborghini At Home, Uses Alto Wheels And Scrap Parts Every man has his dreams, and most of these dreams, however amazing they may be, are prone to run into the budgetary ground. However, there is a man in Kerala who has proved that, there is no price tag to the limits of passion, patience and perseverance. Saji P Joseph is a simple man with a dream and an indomitable determination to achieve it to his satisfaction. The owner of a beautiful plot in Idukki, Kerala, did not have a high budget but he could not resist his urge of checking off one of the items on his bucket list. So Saji built himself his very own version of a Lamborghini right in his backyard! This is not something made in garage. It is a real self-assembled machine with a head-turning appearance as it looks like one of the most premium supercars in the world. It is not only the tale of a person who is changing and transforming an old car but also about goals and dreams being turned into an impulse. A Dream in the Hills of Kerala Saji is an electrician, who was fascinated by automobiles. He loved the sheer infrastructure and beauty in cars such as Lamborghinis like many other people did. However, unlike most people, he did not limit his list to watching videos and collecting posters, but he decided to create one. Although Saji had no background in automobile engineering and had to finance his work with some degree of financial constraints during the COVID lockdown, he started his journey with a second-hand Maruti and a dream. Maruti to Lamborghini Saji started his work using the old Maruti as the basic structure. Body panels were done on fiber sheets by hand. The car has every curve, contour, and panel sculpted carefully. He spent hours upon hours of YouTube videos with tutorials, researched the Lamborghini design philosophy and even created cardboard mock-ups of the model before finally molding the final version. And what is even more encouraging about all this is that it all happened in the tight quarters of his home yard and not quite the high-tech workshop and swanky gear. Simply the bare tools scrap material and cast-offs second hand parts - and unsurpassed handwork. Speed Bumps on the Road The idea of producing a supercar copy on an impossibly cheap budget had its challenges. Materials not only needed to be sourced at affordable prices, but everything needed to be done by hand -sourcing of space to electrical wiring, to final painting. His family was very encouraging despite the fact that it took more than one year to complete. The aesthetics is also one of the impressing ones. It also features the signature Lamborghini scissor doors that open like the real one. The ratio of the body, small ground clearance, air vents, all these are reflecting the dubious iconic design language created by the original brand. The Significance of This Car To many, it is nothing more than a desi replica. However, to anyone who recognizes the power of innovation and ambition, this serves as a quintessential embodiment of Jugaad. In an era when extravagance is chiefly displayed through wealth, Saji’s Lamborghini stands as a testament to the fact that passion is above price. Social media has already propelled his work into viral territory, and influencers, car enthusiasts, and news channels alike are unanimous in their praise of the craftsmanship. Auto enthusiasts are left stunned by the fact that a self-taught amateur produced this complex replica—testimony that imagination really is the only boundary. A Message for the Nation Saji’s tale is far more than the story of a car. It’s about trusting in your dreams irrespective of your financial or educational status. To me, it’s about gleaning lessons from the internet, putting hands and mind to work, and refusing to surrender when the endeavor appears insurmountable. In a nation like India, where numerous aspiring creators grapple with scant resources to give their imagination room to roam, this story underscores that innovation doesn’t necessarily depend on the funding only Silicon Valley can muster. At other times, it takes nothing more than a backyard, a broken car, and an unwavering desire. What’s Next? In the wake of the overwhelming response, Saji has been contacted by automotive YouTubers, hobbyists, and even colleges keen on showcasing his car and journey. He harbors the ambition to run his own custom car modification company and rouse younger minds to push beyond their limits. Even if you don’t have a passion for cars, this story still ignites hope. Where money and machines dictate the pace of progress, this man forged his own dream car out of raw materials, proving that the impetus behind the project outweighs the ambition itself. Final Thoughts If we gauge success by size of paycheck and name-dropping labels, stories like Saji’s blaze across the firmament. This one-of-a-kind Lamborghini transcends mere slabs of mechanized steel; it serves as evidence that uncompromising resolve, limitless curiosity, and an almost boundless work ethic can bring virtually anything to fruition. The next time you think something is “too big” to pursue, recall the Kerala man who crafted a Lamborghini for ₹1.5 lakh and drove that dream straight out of his backyard. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1 , 2025 #KeralaLamborghini #DesiSupercar #MadeInIndia #PassionOverPrice #SajiPJoseph #InnovationFromIndia #DreamBigBuildBigger #IndianJugaad

  • When the Heart Stops Mid-Game – The Sudden Death of 25-Year-Old Rakesh in Hyderabad

    25-year-old man from Khammam dies of heart attack while playing shuttle at Nagole Stadium in Hyderaba d We always tend to think about youth as a cloak- it will help us beat the hardships of sickness and death. However, life is capable of disappointing us, at times tragically enough. In Nagole region of Hyderabad, a 25-year-old boy, Rakesh died of a sudden cardiac arrest, as he was in the game of badminton. An athletic activity that is supposed to be fun, healthy and social became his dying scene. Nobody thought that the game will come to silence. It is not only a tragic heart-breaking event, but it is also a wake-up call. Rakesh was a young and energetic person in his 20s and was just having a normal game of badminton. It was to be still another evening. He was said to be athletic and did not have health problems unlike most people in his age group. However it was an eye opener as he fell on the court in the middle of the game. His friends came to the rescue but it was already too late so an ambulance was ordered. Later, the doctors identified the cause; sudden cardiac arrest. This is not the first and certainly not the last time that something like this happens, and unless we can start asking some hard questions this will continue to happen. But He Was So Young... How did this happen? Sudden cardiac arrest is no longer a condition that afflicts old people or people with known heart disease. And now, it is taking the lives of people in their 20s and 30s, even of people on the surface, who are not in their old age. The question is why is this occurring? Unrecognized Cardiovascular Problems – wronged cardiovascular problems are a few examples of heart problems that have no signs at all, until it is too late. Other conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or arrhythmias may not be diagnosed without frequent checks High-Stress Lifestyle - High stress in life in the form of long working hours, sleep, emotional stress, abnormal eating habits - these are all heart killers when taken unabatedly. Overworked Workout or Sports without check up - Many youngsters do pull their body in the gym or the field without knowing about the real condition of their heart. Overwork with unhealthy heart may prove to be hazardous. Unhealthy Diet and physical inactivity – Due to wrong eating or unhealthy foods and less physical activity leads to accumulation of plaque in the arteries even when one is in their 20s. Drug Usage – All those caffeine containing drinks, cigarettes and even steroids (to build up muscles) can cause long-term cardiac complications. It is not Rakesh Alone This is not an Individual Incidence Scroll back through the news over the last year and there are a good number of them: In Maharashtra, a 19-year-old boy collapsed due to Garba. A 27-year old gym instructor in Gujarat died after cardio exercise in a treadmill. A 22-year-old Noida cricket player collapsed on the ground. What is the common thing between them? Youth. Activity. Sudden collapse. And an over all assumption that we are too young to care about the heart. How can we prevent this? We cannot do everything to avoid risk, but we can be more careful, more proactive. Here's how: 1. Heart Check-Ups An ECG, test of cholesterol and a check of the blood pressure once a year may be a rescue of your life even when you are a young and fit individual. In case your family members have heart problems, screen early. 2. Be in Tune with What You Can Do And stay away from the latest fitness fads. Make sure you warm-up, cool-down, and you do not push your body without having an idea of how your heart is. 3. Manage Stress The heart will be directly affected by mental stress. Do breathing exercise, meditate, write in a diary, or talk to a person. Being cured is not being cowed--it is being smart. 4. Eat To Your Heart Reduce the amount of fried and ultra-processed food. Add omega-3s, fruits and fiber. Hydrate. What is on your plate makes your pulse. 5. Do not smoke Tobacco, Cut down on alcohol. However, each of your puffs and each of your binges breaks your heart a bit more than you may realize. Also, the damage is, instead, silent until it becomes irreversible. 6. Learn CPR A sudden cardiac arrest is a situation where time is of the essence. CPR is essential in saving lives: a person who has suffered cardiac arrest may fall next to you, and proper CPR may save their life. Final Thoughts: Rakesh would not have died now Well, he should have walked home in his sweat and beaming well prepared to enjoy a meal with his friends. Rather, he lost his life in one of the courts where he went to feel free. His narrative is not the exception any longer, but it is rather a pattern. And unless we listen up, we will be wasting lives of brilliant young people to a disease we can detect, control, and most of the time prevent. Let the story of Rakesh not be a headline. May it be a cause to examine your own heart-may it be a cause to examine the hearts which are round about your own self. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #HeartHealthMatters #SuddenCardiacArrestAwareness #RIPRakesh #YouthWellness #CheckYourHeart #NotTooYoungForHeartCheckup

  • When Views Cost Lives – The Dangerous Obsession with Viral Fame

    Rail mantri has become reel mantri When attention is treated as currency and social media approval often outweighs real-world connections, the boundary between reality and recklessness is evaporating at warp speed. A startling incident has just surfaced and forces us to question: where does online visibility become beyond measure?  According to reports, a man intent on capturing content for social media sat himself flat on a moving rail line, gambling with his life for the sake of “views.” Regrettably, his video grew, so did the disorder, the apprehension surged, and he stood as a stark warning of the total cost of pursuing viral acclaim. The Incident: Caught somewhere between desperation and delusion, the man figured it would be a “cool stunt” to spread-eagle himself on the rail tracks mere seconds before a train rolled in—all while capturing it for the camera. The Idea? He uploads the clip to social media, earns a million views, sets the internet on fire, and ascends to the status of sensation. However, that fleeting moment of internet notoriety teetered on the brink of ending his life for real. Somehow, he survived—yet the consequences of his stunt reached far beyond a rashly hazardous prank. The authorities were notified. A panic was set off. Other citizens were horrified. And what of the internet? Those who celebrated his alleged bravery sat side-by-side with people who sensibly labeled the stunt foolish. What is Propelling This Behaviour? Let’s not deny that this is anything other than another incident in a long line of similar acts. We’ve seen teenagers teetering precariously on rooftops, executing daring stunts on their bikes amid congested traffic, and vaulting themselves before speeding trains or roaring cars—again, all in the quest for “content.” It is just the latest example of individuals jeopardizing their life and limb for scant seconds of attention. But, Why is this happening? Social Media Addiction – The dopamine rush that follows likes, shares, and added followers can blur cleanly with that of a substance dependence. Now that a person has sampled virality, they keep stretching the limits to stay relevant. Deregulated Environment – YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are saturated with content that glams up perilous stunts. Although social networks have established guidelines, the enforcement of them is inconsistent and frequently lax. When “daring” feats flood the feeds and catapult their creators into the spotlight, many others feel they have to go further, convinced that pushing past that bar is the only way to be noticed. The Actual Price of “Going Viral” We often overlook the fact that these stunts pose a peril to the performer alone, but to society at large as well. Consider this scenario: a train driver slams on the brakes—what if some other individual imitates it and loses their life? Which message are we giving to the younger generation? What few thousand likes cost shouldn’t amount to a matter of life and death. What Needs to Be Changed? Platforms where content is circulated - must swiftly detect and take down content that glamorizes dangerous or life-threatening behavior. Repeat offenders should incur permanent bans and should have their activity reported to the authorities. Community Responsibility - Every time we watch, comment on, or forward these stunts, we end up encouraging them. More often than not, individuals turn to these desperate tactics because they’re struggling with loneliness, low self-esteem, or a fear of going unnoticed. The only way forward lies in more open dialogue about self-esteem and therapy. Educational Initiatives - Public stunts that endanger lives ought to incur legal consequences. Not to penalize creativity, but to dissuade recklessness. Conclusion: What unfolded on that railway track is no more than entertainment. It is a piteous cry, the symptom of a sickness at its roots—a culture that judges value by the boldness with which it is shown. If we fail to speak out now, more lives will be taken not by hate, crime, or illness, but by someone’s desire to trend. The next time a perilous “dare” video or a brink-of-death stunt crosses your screen, pause and consider: Are you watching someone fall? Let us be the audience that insists on safety, not on provoking shock. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #ThinkBeforeYouPost #LifeOverLikes #SocialMediaResponsibility #StopRecklessContent #ViralAtWhatCost

  • Madhya Pradesh Horror – Loan Agents Took Away His Wife for Missing EMIs. Is This the India We’re Living In?

    Loan Agents Took Away His Wife for Missing EMIs. That is not the storyline of a disturbing film. This is far from the story of a horror film set in a lawless land.  This is no fiction; it happened in Madhya Pradesh. The man neglected to make several cash repayments on the loan. Like countless other everyday Indians swimming against a swelling current of inflation, precarious employment, and mounting debt, he was floundering. Yet what transpired after that contravenes every concept of humanity, legality, and justice. Loan recovery agents are purportedly alleged to have abducted his wife in an effort to exert pressure on him. That reality should sink in. Time and again, we hear discussions on financial literacy, safe borrowing, and online fraud. Yet what do we say, for instance, when the system pursues a course that grows inhumane? The event that has left the nation in shock. In a small town in Madhya Pradesh, a man had borrowed money—multiple reports indicate that it was a modest personal loan obtained from a private financier or NBFC. Much like the multitude of middle-class Indians, he was steadily making his EMIs, until a financial crunch came along. Was it the loss of his job? A medical crisis? Soaring household costs? Nobody can be ascertain the precise cause. What is certain is that he fell behind on several instalments. Rather than sending legal notices or seizing the collateral, a far more horrifying thing occurred. Abduction agents, supposedly, stormed into his house, confronted his family—and whisked his wife away, vowing to restore her only once he settles his outstanding balance. Try to picture that terror. Try to envision the despair. Envision the surrender of duty that would grip your heart as you watched a loved one hauled indiscriminately—by no shadowy criminals, but by collectors acting on behalf of a loan. That cannot be recovery. In other words, this amounts to a straight-out abduction. The Legal and Moral Collapse This needs to be made unequivocally clear: Indian legislation forbids the use of physical coercion, harassment, or abduction for the recovery of loans. As set forth in the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Indian Penal Code: Recovery agents are obliged to conduct their operations in accordance with ethical and legal standards. Any form of harassment, whether physical or verbal, is completely forbidden. Borrowers’ rights must be protected. Families retain their dignity. How does such a hideous situation come to pass? Across many segments of India, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), private lenders, and loan sharks ply their trade in shady gray areas where sheer desperation collides with outright lawlessness. They prey on people’s silence, fear, and unawareness. In this process, they obtain no mere money—they ruin lives instead. Why are people still ending up in these traps? While the economy expands, financial hardship persists in reality. Millions of Indians… These individuals get personal loans for scattering emergencies, weddings, children’s education, or, in some cases, to cover their basic day-to-day needs. Depend on unauthorised digital lenders or informal agents who present no official paperwork, yet impose aggressive loan conditions. They sign agreements they don’t fully grasp or commit collateral they may not even realize they are endangering. The majority of borrowers don’t know where to turn once circumstances start to unravel. And even fewer still understand the rights they have as borrowers. What this means for every Indian household ? Madhya Pradesh serves as a lesson that financial violence isn’t confined to dry figures; it can likewise have human faces. It can arise in human disguises. It can ruin trust, dignity, and entire families. As it happened once, it can certainly happen again. And the question Michigan arises: will we be silent once again? What Must Be Changed, at once ? Moreover, public awareness of borrower rights should encompass understanding the safest ways to secure loans, the items to review before signing, and the channels to report any harassment. Motion to be taken swiftly: all involved persons should be arrested and charged under the sections of abduction, criminal intimidation, and unlawful confinement. Such intervention must come from the State and the Central authorities. The Finance Ministry, the Women’s Commission, and the NHRC have to intervene. A warning has to be issued: Human beings are never to be treated as property. Guidelines for Borrowers Should you or someone you know have taken out a loan, please read the above carefully. Verify the Lender: Obtain a loan exclusively from banks or NBFCs that are registered with the RBI. Under no circumstances should you take a loan from bogus apps or protectless door-to-door agents without valid ID. Take a Closer Look at the Fine Print: Video or otherwise, log every conversation you have with recovery agents—it’s your proof. Know Your Rights: Recovery agents must have your consent before they may enter your home, and they are prohibited from wielding threats or taking away personal belongings. Get Support: If you are threatened for non-payment, relay the details forthwith to the following authorities: Local police Sachet Portal on the RBI website National Consumer Helpline (1800-11-4000) Cybercrime cell (for app-based loans) Firmly, this must never happen again. That is far more than a headline. It reflects every flaw in how we cope with economic hardship in this nation. A woman was treated as collateral in Madhya Pradesh, a household was sundered, and the essential cry of humanity was silenced—each consequence arising from the default on EMI payments. Unless we speak out and demand justice, now, this will not be the only time it happens. Let us not forget: a loan is a simple transaction. No permission to torture.  And the woman in question is simply a human being—not a vehicle for recovery. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #MadhyaPradeshHorror #LoanRecoveryAbuse #JusticeForTheFamily #BorrowerRights #StopFinancialViolence #IndiaAgainstAbduction #LoanScamIndia #WifeNotCollateral #ProtectTheVulnerable

  • Title: One Charger, One Night, One Life Lost – The Tragedy of the Jagraon Fire and How We Can Stay Safe

    Smartphone explosions: Why phones explode, and how to prevent them What promised to be just an ordinary event, that is, charging a mobile phone in the small hours of the morning in Jagraon in Ludhiana, became a life altering, unchangeable tragedy. One of the users claimed that a phone charger exploded and caused such a great fire that involved a home and claimed the life of a lady, who was not able to escape in time. It was not an earthquake. No storm. No warning. A small electronic device with a hitch, something which all of us utilize, every day. Such an incident is not a new occurrence. We shake every time it does it, but it does it nonetheless. This kind of thing could have been any person. Your mother. Your sister. Your wife. You. And then today, I think we should not only mourn. Let’s learn. And I would prefer to ensure that an additional victim does not occur at something that can be avoided. What was the Jagraon Incident? It was a normal day in a normal residential area of Jagraon, Ludhiana where a family had finished their evening just like any other. One of the phones was charging overnight, which is generally acceptable in any home. However, in the middle of the night, the charger burst, maybe with reasons of overheating or short circuit. This caused a very fast spreading fire in the room. Due to panic and chaos, one of the women in the house was not able to escape. She perished in the fire leaving behind a broken family and community that was shocked. Neighbours went to bed and woke up to shouts, explosion, and smokes. When the emergency services came, it was too late. The Hazards that are concealed in Our Houses - We consider big catastrophes such as earthquake, flooding, and accidents but we fail to realize that our home is a hazardous area when we neglect electrical safety. Chargers are so small and common in mobile devices that we do not even think twice before using chargers overnight when we have to use the mobiles and leaving them unattended. But: Unbranded, low cost chargers are usually not well insulated or have protection against overloading. Overheating even the branded chargers can occur when in constant use or utilization of incompatible devices. Many devices that require power can be plugged into a single extension board which is a source of additional load and possible short circuiting. This is not only regarding Jagraon. In India, especially summers, there are increasing cases of smashes due to electrical appliances, mainly due to fluctuations in power supply and the heat. The things we need to learn - As we commemorate the woman who lost her life in Jagraon, we should also pose ourselves the question, how can we do it differently? These are the 7 basic precautions to be observed in every home: 1. Do Not Use Unbranded or Low End Chargers Only purchase IS-marked or BIS-verified chargers and cables. The local market ones are cheap though they are not built with any voltage protection and can trigger or overheat easily. 2. Do Not Charge at Night Ahead of Time It might be convenient to leave your phone connected to the charger when you go to sleep but once it is fully charged the heat keeps on rising. When you have to charge at night, it is ideal to have chargers that have auto cut-offs or purchase smart plugs. 3. Do not leave Chargers on Soft Objects The heat is trapped when your phone is being charged on beds, pillows, or under blankets. Phones and chargers should always be kept on flat surfaces that are well ventilated and hard. 4. Do not make power strips overloaded There is a risk that connecting several load voltage frequent devices (TV, fridge, AC, chargers) to one extension board of regular socket will overheat the circuit and cause short circuits. 5. Conduct Periodical Cable Assessments Put cable that is frayed, charred or bare, out. Never try to tape it back together and keep using it. The risk is not worth taking. 6. Household fire extinguishers should be kept within reach. Install a simple fire extinguisher or even a fire blanket in you home Today, you can obtain compact, easy-to-operate models online for roughly ₹1,000–₹2,000. 7. Make sure you Have an Exit Strategy Educate your loved ones (mainly the elderly and children) on how to conduct themselves in case of a fire. Make sure that the doors are not blocked and make sure that all the windows are opened easily. Even just 30 seconds can be the margin between life and death. Why It Is Important ? We inhabit a world that is hyper-connected. While we slumber, while we stir our pans, while we punch away on our keyboards, our gadgets recharge. Amid the convenience, however, a peril we often overlook slumbers: fire comes to call without so much as a knock. In Jagraon, the woman who lost her life on the spot never imagined that merely plugging in her phone would take her own. Nor do we. Or, perhaps, we should. Remember Her. Protect Yourself. May we commemorate her by doing better. Before waiting for tragedy to catch us unawares. Just take a bit of time and look at your charger. Get a different cable Take time to talk with your family about electrical safety. Don’t put off the little details—they can be the only thing that keeps you alive. Final Words The charger blew up. One fire began. One woman lost her life.  Let that figure cap out at one. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #JagraonFire #ChargerExplosion #ElectricalSafety #OneMistakeOneLife #FireSafetyTips #HomeSafetyIndia #PreventTheNext #LudhianaTragedy #StaySafeAtHome

  • Title: Honeymoon Horror to Big Screen: Family of Raja Raghuvanshi Approves Film on Shillong Murder

    Honeymoon in Shillong: True Story Behind Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Now a Film A ruthless betrayal, a picturesque setting that goes cruelly awry, and a crime that stunned the nation the story that now arrives on the big screen. The case of the murder of Indore-based transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, whose mutilated body had been found in a gorge in Meghalaya only a few days after his marriage, is being developed as a feature film. The film is based on the life of Raja Singh alias Ajay Singh and the title is yet to be finalized as it is reportedly titled as Honeymoon in Shillong and it is directed by SP Nimbawat with the consent and support of the family of Raja Singh. The murder case, the arrest of the wife of Raja, Sonam, and her alleged man Raj Kushwaha shocked the entire nation. The Raghuvanshi family is now of the opinion that the people need to know who is right and who is wrong. A Killing That Broke the Dream In May 2025, it was the day the honeymoon of newly married Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam began to take off what could have been a romantic celebration in the beautiful hills of Meghalaya. Yet, not so long by the end of May their love affair turned into the tragedy. The mutilated body of Raja was recovered on June 2 at the bottom of deep gorges near Cassidy Falls, at Sohra (Cherrapunji), East Khasi Hills. The violent character of the murder, along with the disclosure of a suspected extramarital affair, brought the case into the national limelight. Police arrested eight people including Sonam and her suspected lover, Raj Kushwaha, after a full-fledged investigation. This gave an explanation that it might be a pre-thought conspiracy because Raja was enticed to Meghalaya and brutally murdered with the involvement of betrayal and deception. The Movie “Honeymoon in Shillong” The director SP Nimbawat, who now took the burden of remaking the incident in the movie, stated: We want to provide a message to the masses through our film that the incidents of embracing the other person as a traitor should end. He confirmed that the script has been finalised and the project is in pre-production. Although the cast is kept under wraps, there are also no doubts that the filming tactics has been revealed: Raja grew up in Indore and to evolve the emotional background, the shoot will be done in Indore in 80 percent of it. A substantial 20 per cent will be shot in various regions in Meghalaya such as Sohra and Shillong so as to capture the reality of the locations utilized in the actual event. The Approval of Family Family- Approval: A Message to the Nation The making of the film has been publicly endorsed by the family of Raja in a rare occurrence. When the reporters interviewed his elder brother Sachin Raghuvanshi, he is quoted as saying, We have permitted the future movie on the case of murder. We are convinced that unless we take the big screen with the story of how my brother was murdered people will not be in a position to know who between us was doing the right or wrong thing.” His other brother,Vipin, further commented that they too want the movie to project the right photo of Meghalaya, which is a state which has suffered under this tragedy as far as the common vocabulary is concerned. They choose to take their case on the side of the project, not because they are driven by their sensationalism urge, but because they want justice to be seen in the court of the people. The movie is to them an avenue of exposing the betrayal, and making sure that the name Raja is remembered as what he was a brutally deceived man and not a murdered man. Affirmative or just mere cinematic? That is the reaction of the crowd. The news of the approval of the film has received mixed reactions on the internet. The family has some people paying tribute to them, and the way they believe in telling the stories as a justice. Another question asked by others has been the sensationalism of actual life trauma, particularly during the period when the case remains fresh and still sensitive. Victim support agencies have brought to bearing the need to treat the resonance with respect and honesty. The popular tweet summarized the mood of the people: When the story is served in a dose of sincerity it has the power of waking people up to the ignorance. But when people make it to be entertainment they betray the dead.” The Wider Point According to the film director SP Nimbawat, the movie is not only a cinematic film on crime but about betrayal, emotional trauma and the need to be able to trust the right figures. His mentality was, Raja had experienced a massive betrayal post his marriage. We aim to make people realize just how dangerous emotional manipulation and secretive affairs might be but not only to the couples but to the families as well. Presenting the pretexts of the real events, the film, Honeymoon in Shillong, tries to be more than a thriller. It holds the potentially to be a warning against trust, decisions, and repercussions. An Insight into what the Movie May Discuss Though specifics remain under the radar, the film is contrived to investigate: The early love affair between Raja and Sonam The backstabbing pre- and post-marriage The real Shillong trip The killing and finding the body The arrests and investigation by the police The psychological consequences to Raja family The question now is how well and delicately the story will be treated- which should be handled in a very sensitive way considering that there is still pain which still resonates within the two cities: Indore and Shillong. Will film lead to a closure or controversy? Going to turn reality crimes into films is always a slippery slope. It stands on the edge between sensitivity and exploitation. The consent of family provides the legitimacy of the situation, but the weight of responsibility is now on the film-makers to treat the story accordingly. Still, the country is waiting, mourns, and watches- not only expecting a verdict on the courtroom doors, but also hoping the movie retelling will not obfuscate the truth in a bid to be dramatic. There are times when people have to tell stories, not to entertain, but to remind. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | August 1, 2025 #HoneymoonInShillong #RajaRaghuvanshiCase #TrueCrimeIndia #JusticeForRaja #SPNimbawatFilm #ShillongMurder #SonamCase #IndianTrueCrime #CinemaWithPurpose

  • Maha Avatar Nareshma: When Dharma Roars Louder Than Box Office Trends

    Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office: Officially A Success With 40% Profits – Decoding The Budget, Collection & More! At a time when Indian cinema is filled with love triangles and duplicate films and zippy action thrillers, there has been a roaring of a lion that may be considered an epitome of the Indian civilization, a Sanatani film. India has got its first ever fully Sanatani film, Maha Avatar Nareshma, a film that has not only captured the hearts but also created history with the 9.8 rating in IMDb. This is not any film. It is a movement. It is a faith that Resounds in a Story. Maha Avatar Nareshma is the retelling of the legend of Lord Narasimha, the fierce half-lion and half-human form of the Lord Vishnu who comes down to earth to save dharma and kill evil. But it is not a course on mythology. It is cinema as powerful as it can be - age old values presented to the new generations in a spectacular manner and emotionally moving story. The narration of the movie borders between spirituality and amazing scenery. This screenplay not only tells the story of a god but also raves about the principles of right and wrong, standing up and the justice of gods which India has always been proud of. Divine Beauty and Ancient Vedic Life Maha Avatar Nareshma, filmed with piety and shot with the impulse of a cinematic masterpiece, is full of symbolism and references to the vedic canon. Authentic use of the mantras, thewe set arrangements that look so much like ancient temples and designs of the costumes that were reminiscent about ancient Bharat, takes the viewer to the era beyond the time. The fighting is not merely that it is merely the fight, they are visual allegories of good in contrast to evil. And every scene gets you goose pimples especially at the climax when lord Narasimha appears in his ripping glory. Audience Reaction: Roar of Beans The film set records in the first few days of its release in terms of viewership across various platforms, as well as being hailed by both critics and audiences. It has a rating of 9.8 on IMDb which makes it shine even among the much-hyped box office hits. Even more remarkable is the emotional outpour on social media the film is getting viewed by people of all ages and referred to as cinema with a soul. This is not just entertainment to many but it is spiritual food. What Makes Maha Avatar Nareshma Matters Today With the Indian youth inundated with western narratives, Maha Avatar Nareshma somehow aggressively serves as a corrective against all that we learn of ourselves, a small reminder of moments of courage, divinity and that age-old struggle to uphold dharma. It helps the new generation to rediscover themselves in terms of cultural roots without taking away the excitement of contemporary narration. This is a film that should be an example to show that Indian cinema is spiritually making films, and it is commercially viable at the same time and it is not compromising on either. Final Thoughts Maha avatar Nareshma is not a movie alone. It is an epochal event of Indian story-telling. It has created a sense of new need of contents that respect, retain and revere Bharat heritage. It goes to show that in its authenticity and visuality, the power of dharma can sing even louder than any of the marketing campaigns. Not only is it cinema, it is consciousness in the cinema. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | July 31, 2025 #MahaAvatarNareshma #SanataniCinema #DharmaRises #IndianMythologyOnScreen #RealCinema #CulturalRevival #NarasimhaMovie #BharatiyaStories

  • When YouTube Diets Turn Deadly: Tamil Nadu Teen Dies After Following Juice-Only Trend for 3 Months

    Teenager dies after following juice-only diet inspired by YouTube A 16-year-old Tamil Nadu boy died last month in a deeply tragic and eye-opening incident, believing in a juice only diet that he had watched in a YouTube video, and that had allegedly continued for three months. Lacking any known health issues, the teenager assumed that the liquid-only cleanse will assist him in weight loss and turning into a fit person; however, he ultimately ended up becoming dangerously malnourished. The event is a big concern concerning social media and unverified health information on the internet, particularly on teens and young adults with a malleable mindset. What Happened? The boy supposedly saw a viral video on YouTube hawking a so-called 90-day juice detox in which he was promised to lose incredible amounts of weight, and that better skin, increased energy and a total transformation of his body would also be achieved by consuming only fruit and vegetable juices and no solid food at all. According to this diet, the adolescent abandoned rice, vegetables, pulses, and any type of solid food, and instead, drank homemade juices only. First of all, even his family did not treat his fatigue, irritability, and feelings of weakness as the sign of something wrong until they realized that he was most likely suffering because he was dieting. However, with time, he became worse. After long periods of dehydration, he collapsed and was taken to a hospital where they attempted to revive him. This was a pity because he could not be saveded. Why is this so dangerous? 1. Hunger in the name of detoxification One of the problems that juice-only diets may have is cutting out valuable nutrients such as protein, good fats, and complex-carbs. Although short detoxes can be effective in cleansing the toxic material, then, the long-range use of such severe regimes places one at extremely low calorie levels, muscle loss, stress to organs and even death as demonstrated in this case. 2. Vulnerable demographics The age group of teens is particularly vulnerable to the influence of the internet. And as the body image concerns, social comparison, and the overexposure to videos of transformations (pre-post) continue to plague generations, young people implement extreme measures without seeking medical attention or advice of nutritionists. 3. Digital health illiteracy There are now wellness influencers all over the internet that are not certified and have yet to provide harmful information. They have a tendency to proliferate miracle diets, fad cleanses and what they call natural treatment, which are not supported by science, but find their way to millions with the help of an algorithmic amplification. The Emergence of Detox Culture in The Social Media The buzzword detox has become one of the most abused words in the wellness world. With celebrities advertising skinny teas and juice cleanses to influencers who dry fast or follow a fruitarian diet, the detox culture has become a multi-billion dollar trade, with no regulation, whatsoever. Social media sites, in particular, aggressive platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, have made such notions spread like wildfire most of the time with no warning, disclaimers, and even scientific caution.itique. Whose Fault? Although individuals and families have the final responsibility of health, we cannot overlook digital platforms that have enabled the existence of dangerous misinformation to happen. Is YouTube to be blamed? Is there a case to be harder on health advice content? Do creators have any responsibility over such consequences of misinformation? They are uneasy questions, but practical questions. What Can Be done? 1. School-based Digital Literacy Teaching In school, we have to begin teaching teens how to benefits of quality content, the difference between real science and pseudoscience, and how to seek expert advice before changing their health. 2. Moderating Health Content Creators Health and wellness swayers have to be subjected to a superior standard. Social medias such as YouTube ought to flag or remove content that encourages extreme diets that are not supported by medics. 3. Parents and Guardians Need to Be Engaged Frank talks about body image, health fads, and social media body standards are important. Some cannot speak up because of fear of shame. An in-home safe, judgment-free building would be a life-saving project. 4. Always Consult with Professionals Proper nutrition plans should be designed according to the age, the body constitutions, and history of health. Nothing can substitute a qualified dietitian, doctor, or clinical nutritionist in terms of YouTube videos. Final Thoughts Such a tragic loss thus is not to be regarded as an isolated case. It is a raucous wake up call. In the popularity competition on likes, views, and viral status, individuals are putting health and lives of people at stake. We are in an age where influencers with 1 million followers can be more powerful than a practicing doctor with a degree at hand and having the same knowledge and it is a very dangerous imbalance. There is an urgent need to ensure that we have improved online protection, real life training, and accountability in content creation. Not a single 16 year old should ever die in the attempts of sticking to some kind of a fitness hack they saw in YouTube. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | July 31, 2025 #JuiceDietDeath #TamilNaduNews #DigitalHealthCrisis #SocialMediaAwareness #DetoxMyths #TeenHealthMatters #YouTubeMisinformation #SafeDieting #HealthOverHype #InfluencerResponsibility

  • Abu Dhabi Declared World's Safest City for the 9th Time in a Row – What’s the Secret Behind Its Consistency?

    Abu Dhabi named world's safest city for the 9th consecutive year Abu Dhabi has once again done it in a world where urban safety is being turned into an international issue. The United Arab Emirates capital has been declared as the safest city in the world nine years in a row compared to the major world cities such as Tokyo, Zurich, and Singapore. Second and third places were on Doha, Qatar and Dubai, UAE respectively. This has come as a ranking of the 10 best cities in the world with data provided by Numbeo, which is the largest worldwide city and country database that is crowd-sourced, and this is not just a feather in the cap of this region (UAE) but a very powerful message that this region is consistent in its governance, public safety and urban planning. However, what makes Abu Dhabi an outstanding place, year to year? Now, let us simplify it. The Numbers Do the Talking Abu Dhabi already took the top 88.8 out of 100 points in the Safety Index. The safety index takes into account such factors as: The level of crime (the lower the better) People perception of daytime and night safety Cases of theft, vandalism and violent crimes Police-efficiency and citizen-trust Even though other cities in Europe or the Americas have experienced the change in the security marks because of the economical difficulties combined with the increasing crimes and social dissatisfaction, Abu Dhabi has been enjoying the crime rates that are very low and the population that is very satisfied. Abu Dhabi Is So Safe, Why? 1. Powerful Law Enforcement - There is a no crime policy in the UAE. Abu Dhabi law enforcers are high tech, highly trained and very reactive. They are observable in the police and crimes being tracked more than ever so that the chances of escalating crimes are minimal. 2. Enhanced Surveillance Cameras - The city of Abu Dhabi has a surveillance network of more than 100,000 cameras that monitor human behaviors on the street and leads to crime prevention even before it can occur. 3. Rigid Laws and Quick Justice Laws in United Arab Emirates - have gained a reputation to be rather strict, and precisely that fact prevents copycat crimes in the first place. The punishments on theft, assault, drug consumption, and harassment are harsh and the legal system is quick on its approach to cases. 4. Cultural and Social Discipline - In cultural terms, the UAE society believes in mutual respect, cleanliness and lawfulness. There is a sense of being in a foreign land, among the large expatriate population but yet with a sense of local rules and regulations should be used and the need to obey them. 5. Concentrated Government Attention - on the Well being of the CitizensThe leadership of Abu Dhabi has made safety and the well being of citizens a priority. To ensure high standards, regular community surveys, and neighborhood policing and safety audits are undertaken. The city also makes investments in the education related to cyber security, safety of women, and the protection of children.n. Why it is Important around the World ? Of concern to the world at a time when the big cities have turned out to be the preserve of the wealthy, Abu Dhabi is a success story. It is a model of what a proper city can be in the modern world with the help of appropriate conditions: Technology Policy enforcement Civic participation Transparent governance Safety has become a major concern in the decision-making process of global mobility more than tourism or real estate. Whether it is work, study, or family raising, people are now making inquiries as to whether it is safe. Abu Dhabi not only has an answer to that question but also steers the discussion. Dubai and Doha in Hot Pursuit It is also important to mention that Doha and Dubai are in the Top 3. Sharing the same types of governance and even the regional priorities, these cities as well have been striving hard to make sure that their state of governance, transport systems and residential sectors are safeguarded. As a matter of fact, the Middle East is gradually establishing a new idea of what urban security can be in the 21 st century, challenging the surrounding notions of the region. Final Thoughts It is not a coincidence that the city has been voted as the safest in the world on nine consecutive occasions. It is the outcome of the accountability culture, forward looking systems, and extraordinary leadership. The world is watching the changes unfold in Abu Dhabi as it is no longer a futurist city with skylines to reckon with, but it is also a model example to other countries in dealing with urban safety and peaceful coexistence with others. By cities learning a lesson or two out of its playbook, perhaps safety will no longer be such a rare privilege instead, it would become the norm in other parts of the globe too. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | July 31, 2025 #AbuDhabi #WorldsSafestCity #UrbanSafety #Dubai #Doha #UAE #SafeCities #GlobalRankings #Numbeo2025 #SmartCity #PublicSafety #CrimeFreeZone #FutureOfCities

  • The Shocking Disappearance of Domestic Workers in India: The Bangladeshi Link Exposed

    Shocking Disappearance of Domestic Workers in India Domestic workers, cooks, maids, cleaners form an indispensable part of the routine of middle-class and upper-class Indian household. However, in the last few months, a horrible pattern that is starting to appear in some cities; domestic workers are vanishing into thin air. Families get up and the place is empty and they have lost their valuables and the person they trusted are not there anymore. And now, there is an indication of a damning transnational network, which is pointing its roots as far as Bangladesh. An Obvious Pattern that is Never Discovered To start with, these were isolated incidents. A servant girl goes and does not come back. A chef disappears in the middle of an agreement. A nanny goes away without a warning. However, shortly after local police stations started a report, a cold pattern was depicted: A lot of missing workers had fake papers and most had different ID evidence. Some had been lodged by unauthenticated individual representatives. What would they have in common? They turned out to be quite a number of illegal immigrants of Bangladesh under false Indian names. The Network functioning How the Network Works Not that it is just a small group of people who managed to cross borders, but it is an organized racket. As a general principle, this is how it usually goes: Illegal entry through porous borders: The influx of the Bangladesh nationals is largely through the porous borders of West Bengal and Assam. Middlemen offer fake identities and ration cards with the assistance of local officials who are corrupt. They get into houses all around Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru and are co-opted as house helps via backdoor, adopting them as domestic servants. In some weeks or months after establishing a certain level of trust they disappear either carrying some cash, jewels or even some sensitive documents. Most of them undergo a name-change and move to new cities to start the process anew. The Reason This Is Deeply Dangerous This is not concerning minor thefts. This incites huge national security: These illegal short term immigrants are going around the Indian families without background checks. They are also nearly impossible to trace because they may vanish without any digital footprints. At times they have even been connected to much greater smuggling or spying networks who employ these runaway maids as being soft-entry points. It is sneaking into our lives and lives a silent and invisible death. Actions of Authorities The media pressure and the outcry on social media has caused law enforcement agencies to take the situation seriously. They are also carrying out special verification drives in few cities in the country especially among domestic workers. Some of these placement agencies have been closed down because they are operating illegally. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has raised the concern with the possibility that it may be a cross-border infiltration plan. However, the issue is not resolved by far, as at the same time, there is no central register of domestic workers and tighter controls at the borders. The Actions Households Need to Take However disturbing that may be, there are precautions that Indian households must undertake: Recruit only with the help of registered agencies and make sure that the agencies carry police verification. Check all Identities and addresses on their own, do not use Aadhaar or PAN to check the identity. Do not use cash, push them to use digital cash and traceability. Restrict entrance into the house - particularly with regard to valuables and secret documents. Be willing to report atrocious actions -- even when no crime is actually committed. The Bigger Picture What Does Not Happen Is Vanishing Maids More than a security threat is being revealed during this crisis. This is a symptom of free movement, institutional defects and human desperation. In spite of the fact that most immigrants cross over with a greater purpose of getting a better life, they end up netted somewhere in the exploitation webs by agents and the gangs who feast on their invisibility. However, it should not be left to individual and the workers themselves. The government needs to bring in: A national bureau of domestic workers Biometric checkout in the course of job employment Tight crackdowns on placement agencies International discussion with the neighboring nation of Bangladesh to restrain human trafficking Final Thoughts The disappearance of maids, cooks, and cleaners is not a matter of local housewives only: it is a national concern that has deep-seated roots. We, as societies, as citizens, and as a nation need to demand accountability, regulation and authentic protection. There are implications because there may be a broken system behind every absent maid, a bigger racket, a more insidious threat that we cannot afford to turn away. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | July 31, 2025 #VanishingMaids #BangladeshiInfiltration #DomesticWorkerCrisis #IndiaSecurityAlert #HumanTrafficking #VerifyYourHelp #HouseholdSafety #IllegalMigrationIndia #IndianHomesUnderThreat

  • 9 Months Pregnant, Still Representing India – The Underrated Heroism of Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli

    Playing the Olympiad in 36th week of pregnancy - Harika Dronavalli - ChessBase India When the world celebrates athletes in their wins, there are other stories that become unnoticed, not because they are less encouraging or they are not inspiring, but because they are too authentic, too candid and too altruistic. One of these is the story of the Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli. At a time when most people are on bed rest, she was crowned the flagbearer of country when she presented herself at the 2025 Women's World Chess Cup 9 months pregnant because she made a choice to put patriotism over personal comfort. Her move was not only flamboyant, but also groundbreaking Where are the headlines? Where are the tributes? The General Behind the Scenes Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli has always been seen as a source of power in Indian chess. She has added pride to the nation on several occasions after accepting several awards. However, her success this time was not limited to trophies. It was an act of extreme courage and an ultimate patriotism. It takes the courage to endure torturous games, think through the head that is also carrying a baby, and play in a world wide scenario like nothing most people could fathom. Harika did not play to entertain herself; she played to represent the flag, the idea of a mother and an athlete can go hand in hand and that they can be equally strong. Why this should get National press ? We are in a society where sports take up the front page. More attention should be given to stories like Harika. This is not a sports story all the way. It’s about: It is the choice of service to her country at a most vulnerable point in her stage of life. Subverting gender stereotypes of how a woman should or should not act when she is pregnant Promoting Indian Chess which as a sport does not always get that much publicity. Harika Dronavalli is not a regular chess player, she is a symbol of an unspoken revolution, not only of how people can think of her as stronger but also how she is challenging the stereotypes of motherhood and duty as a national citizen. That Applause-Worthy Sacrifice When most women would think of the pregnancy as a period to downshift, Harika instead decided to carry on with national service, even at the expense of her comfort, health, or even negative public opinion. It would have been easy to say no. She didn’t. Since in her case, she had not chosen to play for India, it was part of her pride to do it. And that is what is outstanding about her story. Podiums and medals are easier to cheer on but there is usually no medal given to real heroes. All they do is leave examples--noisy in doing things, mute in rewarding them. The Reason Why We Should Talk About This We should alter the way of viewing women in sports stories particularly that of Harika. They are the tales that girls can dream to next, the mothers can feel self-confident and the country can understand that even a nation has its heroes and they are not only of the same shape. It is not only chess. This is all about grit, resilience and unsurpassed love of the tricolor. Final Thoughts Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli did not have to compete. She would have liked to. not to fame. Not even to make headlines. However, in the case of India. And that is the only reason she is one of the most inspiring Indian athletes ever. It is time that we say her name and say it louder. Perhaps it is time we came to the realization that a queen does not have to wear a crown at all times all she has to do is get herself her own chessboard. 📅 By News Anek Digital Desk | July 31, 2025 #HarikaDronavalli #IndianChess #WomenInSports #UnsungHeroes #PregnantAndPowerful #RealLifeQueen #SaluteHerSpirit #IndiaProud #ChessWarrior
