Man stabbed 24 times in Kerala's Thrissur for not wishing assailant 'Happy New Year'Positive updates on Uma Thomas's health have been circulating since this morning. A post from her admin team on Facebook confirmed that she moved her entire body, requesting everyone for continued prayers. After a medical board meeting, doctors reported that Uma spoke faintly and wished everyone a Happy New Year. Her condition is better than the previous day, but she will remain on ventilator support for several more days. Doctors also mentioned that while Uma recognizes people and her head injury is healing, she is still experiencing body pain, which is considered normal. However, she does not remember the fall that led to the accident.In the ongoing investigation into the incident, five individuals, including the Managing Director (MD) of Mridanga Vision, have been named. Three individuals arrested in connection with the case were granted interim bail yesterday. The High Court has instructed Mridanga Vision MD Nigoshkumar M and Oscar event organizer Jinesh Kumar, both of whom filed anticipatory bail applications, to appear before the investigating officer on Thursday.The police are also gathering statements from sponsors of the dance program, including Kalyan Silks. Kalyan Silks clarified that they were unaware of the fundraising event for dancers' costumes until later. Authorities will also seek information from BookMyShow regarding ticket sales for the event. In the coming days, the police will record statements from actress Divya Unni and actor Sijoy Varghese, who are expected to be summoned as part of the investigation.Meanwhile, the Health Inspector of Kochi Municipal Corporation, MN Nithya, has been suspended following an investigation into the accident at the dance event. The suspension comes after a failure to properly handle the event’s approval process, which is now under review by the Secretary.The event organizers approached the Health Inspector the day before the program, seeking approval. They informed her that the event was a private cultural program with no public access. Based on this information, the Health Inspector responded that no intervention was needed. However, she did not inform higher authorities, including the Mayor or the Secretary, about the request. According to regulations, organizing such an event requires a Public Performance License (PPR), which involves approval from the Municipal Revenue, Health, and Engineering departments. The lack of proper escalation and approval procedures led to the Health Inspector’s suspension. The Secretary has been directed to conduct an inquiry into the matter.Also Read: Kerala Lottery Results Fifty Fifty FF-123 January 1 2025: CHECK first prize winner of Rs 1 crore
