Doctor In Debt Administers IV Fluids To Himself In Car, Dies By Suicide

A young doctor pursuing his postgraduate medical degree was found dead inside his car near the hill town of Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu. The doctor was reportedly in debt and allegedly died by suicide after administering intravenous fluids to himself.

Officials said Dr Joshua Samraj was pursuing his MD (Doctor of Medicine) in Salem and working at a hospital in Madurai. His car was found parked for three days in a remote forested area in Poomparai near Kodaikanal, prompting local residents to alert the police.

Authorities recovered a suicide note from the vehicle. "The doctor has apologised to his family in the suicide note, but has neither blamed anyone nor given any reason. His family has said he was depressed because of an issue in a relationship."

Investigators also revealed that Dr Samraj was reportedly in debt, though there is no clarity yet on what caused it. Amid social media speculation that the doctor had lost money in online gaming, police clarified, "We have not found any such detail in his suicide note, nor do his parents say so. We are investigating."

Initial findings suggest that the doctor may have administered intravenous fluids to himself inside the vehicle. However, police have said that only a post-mortem examination will confirm the exact cause of death. A case has been registered.

The actress had worked with John Abraham and Akshaye Khanna in the film, along with other A-listers such as Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Anil Kapoor, and Juhi Chawla to name a few.

• She added, "And then I met Akshaye on the sets of Salaam-E-Ishq. And he fired me. He was like 'Why didn't you tell me you didn't want to do the film?' I went up to John [Abraham] and said, 'Can you please save me?' Because I was so new, I didn't want any confrontation. I didn't want to hurt anyone or make anyone feel bad, or just feel like I was refusing a film with them. But of course, he was only pulling my leg. I later realized."

Trump-Musk Feud: Tesla Now Worst-Performing Stock, Loses $380 Billion In 2025

Elon Musk's political adventure has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride - Oval Office access and conference calls with world leaders at the President's golf resort at its peak and being threatened about his government contracts being scrapped and tax benefits being revoked at its worst.

But it is Musk's businesses that have borne the brunt of his political escapade, especially in the last 24 hours, after his public fallout with former friend and boss Donald Trump. Tesla has become the worst-performing large-cap stock this year. Its valuation was on a steady decline ever since Musk made his political ambitions public. 

THE DECLINE

Its decline picked pace amid Trump's rhetoric about "beautiful" oil and his executive order on Day 1 of his second term ordering to "drill baby, drill" to "Make America Great Again". As Trump kept hard-selling vehicles that run on petroleum, the demand for Electric Vehicles or EVs fell sharply.

Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's political controversies over his ties to far-right groups resulted in Tesla stock losing even more value after Trump took office in January. But the most devastating blow to the Tesla stock came after Thursday's explosive fallout when the two brash billionaires indulged in a no-holds-barred verbal duel resulting in an end to their partnership.

FREE FALL

Stock valuation went into free fall as markets opened after Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' was passed by House Republicans leading to Musk and Trump trading threats and insults. Tesla stock plunged more than 14 per cent, resulting in a wipeout of roughly $152 billion in a matter of hours.

With this, Tesla has lost more than $380 billion in valuation since the beginning of 2025 - making it the biggest loser among large-cap stocks. Tesla's market capitalization has fallen 29.3 per cent to $917 billion so far this year. 

The firm, which ranked eighth globally in terms of market cap at the start of the year, is now on the verge of dropping out of the top 10 big companies globally.

THE EV-KILLER BILL

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is seen by Elon Musk as an EV-killer since the bill removes tax cuts or tax benefits given to electric vehicle manufacturers. For a firm like Tesla, this means tens of billions of dollars annually.

Donald Trump has now also threatened to cut Elon Musk's government subsidies and contracts, which give both Tesla and SpaceX "billions and billions of dollars" of benefits. Elon Musk's personal wealth has also taken a beating since the public feud, dropping by nearly $9 billion, according to Bloomberg's billionaire index.

'SUCH INGRATITUDE'

During the spat, Elon Musk reminded the "ungrateful" President that the reason he can call the White House his home, was because of Musk's financial and moral support during the election campaign last year, for which he had poured in hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate...Such ingratitude," Musk wrote in a post on X.

Musk has now suggested that Trump "should be impeached" and JD Vance should take over, claiming that the US President figures in the Epstein files over his links to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffery Epstein.

Family Of Indore Woman, Who Went Missing In Meghalaya, Demands CBI Probe

The family of an Indore-based woman who went missing in Meghalaya last month while honeymooning with her husband urged the Union government on Friday to hand over the case to the CBI after expressing dissatisfaction with the probe of the north eastern state's police.

Sonam Raghuvanshi (25) and her husband Raja Raghuvanshi (29) disappeared on May 23, hours after they checked out of a homestay at Nongriat village in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills district. Raja's body was found in a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area, some 20 kilometres away from the homestay, on June 2.

Meghalaya police, which registered a murder case after Raja's body was found, are yet to get clues about Sonam's whereabouts.

"My daughter has been abducted and is still in the clutches of her captors. Meghalaya police is not investigating the matter properly. They have been negligent right from the beginning. I have been seeking the deployment of the army since the day they went missing. If it was done in time, they would have been found safely," Sonam's father, Devi Singh Raghuvanshi, told PTI.

He said the Centre must hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

With desperation setting in, Raghuvanshi said he had hung an inverted photograph of Sonam on the advice of an astrologer so that she can be found safely.

After their marriage here on May 11, the couple left for Meghalaya on May 20 for their honeymoon, family said.

The couple arrived at Mawlakhiat village on May 22 on a rented scooter. They parked their scooter and trekked 3,000 steps down the gorge to visit the famous living rootbridges at Nongriat village, where they stayed the night and left the homestay the following morning.

On May 24, their scooter was found abandoned at a cafe along the road from Shillong to Sohra.

A woman's white shirt, a strip of medicine, a part of the LCD screen of a mobile phone and a smartwatch were seized at the spot where Raja's body was found, as per Meghalaya police.

"Trump Is In The Epstein Files, That's Why...": Elon Musk's Bombshell On X

Amid a spiraling feud with friend-turned-foe and former boss, Donald Trump, Elon Musk has dropped a bombshell. US President Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, and that is why they are not being released, the tech billionaire claimed in a stunning remark on his social media platform X.

"Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk wrote just over an hour after a verbal spat with the President took an ugly turn.

He followed that up by saying, "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

Inseparable for the last nine months, billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk were only praises for each other, but the last week has been turbulent, and the past 24 hours explosive. With the passage of the controversial 'One Big Beautiful Bill', which the two friends have deep disagreements over, the gloves have now come off.

Over the past few hours Trump and Musk have dealt blow after blow on each other. While Trump publicly chided Musk over his posts, saying he was very "disappointed with Elon", Musk was quick to remind the "ungrateful" President that the reason he can call the White House his home, was because of Musk's support during the election campaign last year.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more," Trump said at a White House press briefing. He also predicted that Elon "hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next," adding that he was "very disappointed in Elon".

In his swift and lethal response, Musk said, "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate...Such ingratitude."

But as the stock value of Musk's EV firm Tesla plummeted with the passing of the controversial bill, Elon Musk dropped a series of posts, lambasting the US President for what Musk called "The Big Ugly Bill". His latest post however, is bound to shake up Washington DC - that the Epstein files aren't public because the US President figures in it.

Virat's Sister Slams Troll For Questioning Her "Bitter" Relationship With Anushka

Virat Kohli's team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), finally lifted the IPL trophy after 18 long years. Celebrating the victory, the cricketer's sister, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, shared a heartfelt post on Instagram.

Bhawna, who is a numerologist by profession, posted a series of pictures of Virat from the match. The carousel also included snaps featuring Virat's wife, actress Anushka Sharma.

In her caption Bhawna wrote, "This night, this moment where we celebrate this dream which made us cry, which made us laugh; but the wait that you did is far too long. Each and every second of the moment needs to be experienced with stillness and a strange calmness that it's actually done."

She added, "All of us can't express the humility and thankfulness towards almighty and millions of fans who were right behind RCB through thick and thin. This win is everybody's personal win. Your tears were felt in the eyes of everyone who loves you. We cried with you because you, my little Veeru, are god's chosen one who brings so much joy and inspiration in everyone. Blessed to witness this, and someone in heaven is smiling in his usual smile, looking at his son making him proud."

Reacting to the post, a troll attempted to insinuate that Virat and Anushka sideline Bhawna during their major milestones. They wrote, "Why does he never mention you in any speech or like your post? Not even Anushkha does, lol." 

To this, Bhawna responded politely by sharply. She wrote, "May god give you the patience to understand love can exist in many ways, which is not necessarily shown to the world, but it's still there, like the love for almighty. Hope you have enough love in your life, no insecurities, only true bonds which don't need any validation. God bless you."  

Her graceful response quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising her for standing up for her brother and his wife with such dignity.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were recently in Bengaluru for RCB's victory parade celebrations. What began as a joyous occasion turned sombre when a tragic stampede near the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives and left 47 injured.

Expressing their sorrow over the incident, Virat and Anushka shared RCB's official statement on Instagram. Read the full story here.

Mumbai Founder Criticises Employees Quitting After Payday, Internet Reacts

Kiran Shah, the founder of Mumbai-based startup GoZero, is facing backlash for his LinkedIn post criticising employees who resign shortly after receiving their salaries. In his post, Mr Shah shared he recently changed his company's pay date for employees from the 10th of every month to the 1st. However, he said some of his employees misused this policy and resigned the moment the salary was credited, and didn't show up to work the next day. 

"I used to give salaries on the 10th of the next month. A lot of startups I know do the same. Some even give on 15th of the next month. I realised this causes a lot of inconvenience to the team who has outgoings in the 1st week. From December 2023, I changed the salary payment date to 1st of every month," Mr Shah wrote on LinkedIn. 

"And while most of them are exceptionally loyal towards the mission, there are an unfortunate few who misuse this and resign the moment we credit the salary on 1st and don't show up to work the next day. This has happened yesterday, the 4th incident overall since I moved the salary processing from 10th to 1st," he continued.

The entrepreneur assured that the incidents would not affect his decision to change the payday policy. "If i start penalizing the entire team for a couple of such dumb folks, then it puts a question mark on the culture I am building at GZ," he wrote. 

"However, to all the folks out there - don't ghost your employer once you get the salary. If you are not happy with the work or remuneration or boss or founder or colleagues or location or any damn thing, have a communication with your manager. Or even the founder - I am super approachable to anyone in the org. But do it in a professional way that doesn't burn bridges," he advised the employees.

Mr Shah's post has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage among people. Several users labelled his post as "tone deaf". 

"Some companies somehow feel they do a favour if they disburse salary on 1st let's wake up and smell the coffee it's being done for ages now and in case of MNCs last working day of the month. Focus more on reasons why the employees are absconding and fix those," commented one user. 

"Receiving salaries on time is the right of every employee, most start ups these days are exploiting employees by expecting them to work extra hours in light of the "hustle culture" and still end up not receiving their salaries. Such startups need to have proper HR processes in place. The problem is much bigger than setting up a credit date," wrote another. 

"I am missing the connection here between the date of pay and not showing up the next day after receiving the salary.  Changing pay date DOES NOT solve for not showing up the next day. It only gives you a leverage over the employees to not leave without serving notice period as the employees wouldn't get paid for the 10/15 days of the month, which in itself doesn't reflect a great culture. So you are right in not going back to the old pay cycle due to a few who are misusing it. I just dont understand the message you are trying to convey," said third user.
