'Drunk' father bites off teacher's finger after girl forced to clean school premise, thrashed for refusing

-

In a startling incident that unfolded in the Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, a man resorted to a violent act by biting off a section of a schoolteacher’s finger allegedly after the latter made his daughter clean the school premise.

The incident took place on Friday and followed a dispute where the accused, identified as 45-year-old Jagannath Sahu, allegedly confronted the teacher over purported mistreatment.

The accused was subsequently presented before the court and detained in custody on Saturday.

Accompanied by his family members and fellow residents, Sahu’s actions were met with protest in the form of a dharna, as they demanded accountability not only from the accused but also from the teacher in question.

According to the version of events presented by Sahu’s family, the teacher, named Mahendra Singh, had purportedly coerced his seventh-grade daughter into cleaning the school premises. When the girl refused to comply, it is alleged that Singh subjected her to physical punishment.

In response, Sahu was consumed by anger and immediately headed to the school premises to confront the teacher. The verbal dispute between the two individuals rapidly escalated into a physical altercation. During this altercation, Sahu bit off the tip of Singh’s right ring finger. The severed portion of the finger fell to the ground, creating a macabre scene.

The injured teacher promptly filed a formal complaint with the local police detailing the incident. In his complaint, Singh contended that Sahu had been known to cause disturbances at the school on multiple occasions.

Furthermore, Singh asserted that Sahu had been under the influence of alcohol during their confrontation.

Law enforcement swiftly took action and arrested the accused, Jagannath Sahu. The detached fingertip, a grim piece of evidence, was presented in court on Saturday.

Vijay Singh Parihar, the officer in charge at the Kotwali police station, provided insights into the ongoing investigation.

Parihar confirmed that the Sahu family had made allegations against the teacher for physically assaulting their child. However, a medical examination conducted in connection with these claims failed to substantiate them. As a result, the credibility of the family’s assertions is currently being probed.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
