Paruchuri Abhijit, a 20-year-old student from Guntur district, met a tragic end at the hands of unidentified assailants in the United States. His lifeless body was discovered inside a car abandoned in a forest. Abhijit, the only son of Paruchuri Chakradhar and Srilakshmi, had been regarded as a brilliant student from his early years. Despite initial reluctance from his mother regarding his desire to pursue higher education abroad, she eventually relented, considering his future prospects, according to family members, Times of India reported. Securing a seat in engineering, Abhijit ventured to Boston University for his studies. The motive behind his murder is speculated to be related to monetary gain and the theft of his laptop.

diesel prices are the costliest in the country in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala while it is cheapest in smaller states and UTs like Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Delhi and those in the North East, mainly due to differential in local sales tax or VAT rates, oil industry data showed. The three state-owned fuel retailers — Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) — last week cut petrol and diesel prices by Rs 2 a litre each, ending a nearly two-year hiatus in price revision.

UPS Fighting Election DAL Lok Sabha elections 2024: Deswali belt holds key in Haryana's multi-corner contest
Haryana is key for parties in what is going to be a multi-corner contest in the Lok Sabha elections. Traditionally a stronghold of the Congress, the state's ruling BJP has been making efforts over the years to weaken the grand old party's grip in the Jat-dominated region that comprises the Rohtak and the Sonipat Lok Sabha constituencies. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won seven Lok Sabha seats it had contested, losing only in Rohtak. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) had won two seats while the Congress won from Rohtak. After failing to break the Congress' grip on Rohtak at that time, the BJP stepped up its activities in the region in a bid to weaken the Hooda family stronghold and the Congress.
