Nipah virus in Kerala is reportedly a Bangladesh variant with ‘high mortality rate’ | Oneindia News

On Wednesday, the Kerala government said in the assembly that the Nipah virus, which has killed two people out of four infected, was a strain of the Bangladesh variant.

Kerala Health Minister Veena George said that the variant has a high mortality rate but was less infectious.

George confirmed that the recent “unnatural deaths” in the state's Kozhikode district were a result of the virus.

As per reports, one of the people affected with the virus died this month, while the other death occurred on August 30.

This is the fourth Nipah outbreak in Kerala since 2018.

Out of 23 infected people, 21 died when Kerala first reported the Nipah outbreak in 2018.

Hasina Sentenced:6-Months Jail After Viral “License to Kill” Audio | First Verdict Since 2024 Escape

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in jail by the International Crimes Tribunal for contempt of court. The verdict comes after a leaked audio call revealed Hasina allegedly mocking the judiciary and referencing a “license to kill” 227 people during the 2024 protests. The sentencing marks the first official ruling since her ouster and escape last year following mass student-led demonstrations. Former student leader Shamil Bulbul was also sentenced to two months. Defense lawyers call the charges politically motivated, while prosecutors hint at more charges to come. #SheikhHasina #BangladeshPolitics #InternationalCrimesTribunal #HasinaSentenced #BangladeshProtests #Justice #PoliticalDrama #ContemptOfCourt #ShamilBulbul #HumanRights #BangladeshNews #BreakingNews #CourtVerdict #OneIndia Also Read Bangladesh's Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina Sentenced To 6 Months In Jail In Contempt Of Court Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bangladeshs-ex-pm-sheikh-hasina-sentenced-to-6-months-in-jail-in-contempt-of-court-case-7789167.html?ref=DMDesc Bangladesh’s State-Sponsored Sabotage?
