Medico’s death over pet cat dispute exposes deeper student mental health crisis in Hyderabad

Medico’s death over pet cat dispute exposes deeper student mental health crisis in Hyderabad

Published by Parlour News

Woman in mental distress. Picture only for representative purposes. A young MBBS graduate in Hyderabad ending life following a disagreement with her family over her pet cat on Friday (March 20), has once again thrown a spotlight on a deeper crisis, where seemingly minor triggers are resulting in irreversible decisions among youngsters. Shrestha, who had recently completed her MBBS and was preparing for her postgraduate entrance examinations, ended her life at her home after an argument with her mother, who had objected to allowing a pet cat inside the house citing health concerns. The young woman, who had been caring for the cat for the past three months, was suspected to be distressed after being reprimanded. For her family, the loss is as incomprehensible as it is devastating — a promising medical career cut short over what appears to be a trivial disagreement.

CAT quashes disciplinary proceedings against IRS officer Sameer Wankhede

Published by Webster

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Principal Bench, New Delhi, has ruled that disciplinary proceedings against IRS officer Sameer Wankhede are legally untenable, as the charge memorandum issued to him relied on material from a preliminary enquiry whose use had already been prohibited by judicial orders, news agency ANI reported. The tribunal held that the authorities acted in violation of settled legal principles and binding court directions by proceeding on the basis of such material. In its order dated January 19, 2026, CAT examined Wankhede’s challenge to the charge memorandum issued on August 18, 2025, and observed that the charge sheet was “premised upon” the evidence and findings of a Special Enquiry Team (SET), ANI reported. The tribunal noted that both it and constitutional courts had earlier made it clear that findings of a preliminary enquiry cannot be used to frame charges in departmental proceedings. The bench observed that once courts had restrained the use of SET material for disciplinary action, the respondents were duty-bound to comply with those directions. According to the tribunal, the same …
