Class 10 Student Dies By Suicide in Domalguda

Hyderabad: A Class 10 student died by suicide at his house in Bandamaisammanagar, Domalguda, police said on Sunday. His father was away at that time, and his mother was busy.

Police said the student died by suicide after his father reportedly pulled him for securing low marks and not preparing for the forthcoming exams. His parents rushed him to the Gandhi Hospital where doctors declared him dead. The victim was the eldest son of the couple and studied in a private school, Domalguda detective inspector C. Sudhakar Rao said.

The EAGLE Force arrested eight persons for consuming drugs during a concert by a DJ from Ukraine, in Cyberabad on Saturday. The force also came across a former drug consumer who tested negative.

EAGLE Force director Sandeep Shandilya said said the police had taken action based on credible intelligence, in coordination with Cyberabad police.

Police screened 14 persons of whom eight were found positive for drug consumption. The operation was aimed at deterrence, counselling, and rehabilitation rather than prosecution, Shandilya said.

Five persons voluntarily admitted to consuming drugs, while three initially denied consumption. Upon re-testing using different equipment, the results were reconfirmed as positive.

The police used urine, and saliva testing kits to confirm drug consumption. Though intelligence inputs suggested that more than 100 drug consumers might attend the event, the operation was curtailed to ensure focused, preventive action without disruption to public order, Shandilya said.

The consumers, along with their parents, will be called to Cyberabad Narcotics Police Station for counselling. Steps will be taken to admit them to deaddiction and rehabilitation centres.

Shandilya noted a heartening development: An individual who had earlier been apprehended as a drug consumer tested negative during Saturday’s operation. He told the police had had completely stopped drug consumption.
