How daytime sleep can raise dementia risk
If you think you can compensate for your night’s sleep during the daytime you may be wrong, said Dr. Sudhir Kumar, a Hyderabad-based neurologist on Wednesday.
A 52-year-old transgender woman was reportedly beaten to death by a mob in Chandrayangutta, Hyderabad, suspecting her to be a member of a kidnapper gang, the news of which was making rounds on the social media.
The mob also injured three others in the incident.
According to media reports, the police have arrested 15 people in connection with the incident and 20 others were detained.

It has been reported that the victims from Telangana’s Mahabubnagar district were begging in the area when some youth pelted them with stones and beat them up around midnight, Chandrayangutta police inspector Y Prakash Reddy said.
They were reportedly stopped by the local residents who started questioning them. Later, they were attacked by the mob.
“Chandraiah, a native of Mahabubnagar district, who was among the injured people, died undergoing treatment in the early hours of Monday,” Reddy said.
A case of murder has been registered against the accused.
He said police personnel rushed to the spot on receiving the information and rescued them. The four men were later hospitalised.
The incident has come in the wake of fake videos being circulated on social media showing chopped off legs and hands of children.
