Twenty-year-old girl from the city, who was undergoing treatment after receiving severe burns, when her classmate P. Harshavardhan (21), allegedly set her afire and also immolated himself in a lodge at Suryabagh here on November 13, succumbed to burns on Friday. Harshavardhan had died on Tuesday.
According to Inspector of II Town Police Station K. Venkat Rao, the doctors from the KGH declared the girl dead at around 11 a.m. on Friday. Post-mortem has been conducted and the body was handed over to the kin, he said.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
