The US authorities have identified a 24-year-old man as person of interest in the case of a 20-year-old Indian student who has mysteriously gone missing during a spring break visit to the Dominican Republic. Sudiksha Konanki, a citizen of India and a permanent resident of the United States, was last seen on March 6 at the Riu Republic Resort in Punta Cana town.

AISA claims AUD suspended 11 students for harassment, cites no transparency

The All India Students' Association on Sunday claimed Dr B R Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) suspended 11 students for allegedly harassing a classmate, saying the administration "recklessly handled" the matter and that its decision lacked "transparency". The alleged suspensions came after an inquiry into an incident of harassment at the university's Karampura campus earlier this month where a student was said to have faced severe harassment by classmates, it said.

The alleged bullying escalated over time, leading the student to attempt suicide and prompting the university administration to initiate an investigation. AISA termed the alleged suspensions "unjust" and demanded an immediate revocation of the order. In an official statement, the Left student outfit claimed the administration's decision lacked transparency and set a dangerous precedent that undermined the democratic character of the university. "The reckless handling
