Hyderabad Crime Roundup: Suicides, Ganja Haul, Snakebite Death
In and around the city of Hyderabad, police and officials dealt with several serious incidents on one day.
A young woman who was studying far from home in Kannur, Kerala, for a big medical test called NEET passed away.
Police think she may have taken her own life because she missed her family.
On the same day, officials destroyed a very large amount of an illegal drug called ganja that police had found earlier.
They also found the bodies of two people and need to find out what happened to them.
A 10-year-old boy was bitten by a snake inside his classroom and sadly died at the hospital.
His neighbours and family asked the government to make schools safer so this doesn't happen again.
Police also caught a man who had stolen a bike, because he drank alcohol to celebrate and was driving badly.
Police are now investigating all these cases to find out exactly what happened.
A Hyderabad NEET aspirant died by suspected suicide at her Kannur hostel, reportedly over homesickness; her last rites were held Thursday.
Excise officials destroyed 696.1 kg of ganja worth Rs 3.5 crore, seized in 32 NDPS cases in Kothagudem-Bhadrachalam and Khammam districts.
Police found two unidentified bodies: a man aged 40-45 near tracks at Neredmet station and a burnt woman in Dhobighat, Domalguda, suspected murdered.
A 10-year-old student died of a snakebite inside his classroom in Eklaspur village, Narayanpet district, prompting locals to demand school safety measures.
Traffic police arrested bike theft suspect Suresh after he drank to celebrate selling a stolen bike and was caught in a drunk-driving check.
