Authorities in Uttar Pradesh have taken a school manager into custody following allegations of raping an eighth-grade student. The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Sadar Kotwali police station. A complaint was filed by a man who reported that the school manager had sexually assaulted his minor daughter over a period of time. The girl provided details of the alleged assaults to her parents, prompting them to involve the police. An FIR has been registered, and the accused is currently being interrogated as the investigation unfolds.
Separately, the Odisha government has imposed a 24-hour suspension of internet and social media services in Cuttack, beginning Sunday, due to escalating tensions. The ban, which started at 7 pm Sunday, will remain in effect until 7 pm Monday. This measure impacts the Cuttack Municipal Corporation, the Cuttack Development Authority (CDA), and the 42 Mauza Region. The decision was made in response to fresh clashes between two groups reported on Sunday, following an earlier incident of stone-pelting and conflict during Durga Puja immersion ceremonies.
