HISAR: A chartered plane carrying the mortal remains of Nand Kishore Goenka, father of former Rajya Sabha MP and Essel Group founder Dr. Subhash Chandra, met with an accident at Hisar Airport on Tuesday. Despite significant damage to the aircraft, all passengers and crew on board survived safely.

The plane was arriving from Mumbai. According to reports, the pilot mistakenly landed the aircraft on a closed, inactive runway instead of the operational one.

The Runway Mishap

Because the old runway was closed, it was not adequately prepared for a safe landing. As soon as the aircraft touched down, it collided violently with a "cat's eye" (heavy-duty runway reflector lights used to guide pilots at night or in fog).

The impact was so severe that the lighting unit pierced through the plane's wing. Fortunately, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a halt, and all occupants—including Dr. Subhash Chandra's wife, Sushila, and other family members—were evacuated safely. Dr. Chandra was already present at the Hisar airport to receive his family.

Tributes Pour in for Nand Kishore Goenka

Nand Kishore Goenka, 96, passed away in Mumbai on Monday following a prolonged illness. His mortal remains have been placed at his ancestral home in Mohna Mandi, Hisar, where a large number of people are gathering to pay their last respects. Born on September 28, 1930, in Sadalpur village (Adampur), he was a highly respected figure in the region.

Remembering his father, Dr. Subhash Chandra shared a heartfelt note:

"A salute to a life dedicated to national service and compassion. This morning, our revered father, Shri Nand Kishore Goenka ji, breathed his last. The entire family is emotional, but more than grief, our hearts are filled with gratitude for his glorious 96 years dedicated to society and the nation. As a true RSS volunteer, his 'Nation First' resolve, dedication to social service, and selfless life towards 'Gau Seva' (cow protection) will always remain a guiding pillar for us. Babuji, your teachings and values will remain with us forever."

Who Was Nand Kishore Goenka?

• Humble Beginnings in Adampur: Nand Kishore Goenka started his career at the Adampur grain market as an Arhtiya (commission agent), trading grains.

• Deep Ties with the RSS: He was associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for decades, holding several key responsibilities within the organization.

• Architect of Agroha Dham: Bajrang Das Garg, a prominent leader of the Vaishya community, noted that Goenka was one of the core founders of the revered Agroha Dham. He made historic contributions to the socio-religious development of Haryana.

• The Foundation of an Empire: During a period of severe financial distress for the family, his eldest son, Dr. Subhash Chandra, had to drop out of school to help with the business. It was Nand Kishore Goenka who taught his son the nuances of trade from their Mohna Mandi base—laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the massive Essel Group media and business empire.

The ongoing standoff between the Nihang Sikhs of Punjab and the Uttarakhand administration has finally come to an end. The breakthrough was achieved late Friday night following a proactive initiative by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.

A delegation of Nihangs had met CM Saini to seek his intervention in the matter. Following the meeting, the Chief Minister assigned his Political Advisor, Tarun Bhandari, the responsibility of mediating with the Uttarakhand government.

On Saturday, Bhandari personally visited the authorities and held dialogues. As a result of these discussions, the four Nihangs arrested in connection with the Karnaprayag assault case were granted bail.

Haryana CM’s Advisor Mediates the Peace

Tarun Bhandari shared details of the mediation, stating, "A meeting was held with the Nihangs from Punjab late Friday night at the Chandigarh CM residence to facilitate a compromise between the two parties. On the CM's instructions, I traveled to Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh today (Saturday) and held a meeting with the Nihangs at the Gurdwara Sahib. It was decided that the four arrested Nihangs would be released on bail by late night."

Timeline of the Dispute: How It Started

The controversy traces back to June 16 in the Karnaprayag market of Chamoli district, Uttarakhand.

• The Incident: A group of Nihangs returning from the Hemkund Sahib Yatra was involved in a minor accident when their motorcycle struck a parked car in the market.

• The Escalation: A verbal altercation quickly escalated into a violent clash. Allegations surfaced that some Nihangs attacked locals with swords and sharp weapons, injuring several residents.

• The Arrests: Taking swift action, the police arrested four Nihangs—Jasanpreet Singh, Ajay Singh, and Manpreet Singh (all residents of Mohali), along with Satvinder Singh (SAS Nagar). They were booked under severe charges, including attempted murder, and sent to jail.

Counter-FIR and Allegations of Bias

Following the arrests, the Sikh community alleged that the police had taken one-sided action and maintained that the Nihangs had acted in self-defense. Subsequently, based on a complaint filed by the father of an injured Sikh pilgrim, a counter-FIR was registered at the Karnaprayag Kotwali against unidentified locals.

The Protest March to Uttarakhand

Outraged by the arrests, a large contingent of Nihangs departed from Mohali and Chandigarh on June 25, marching toward Uttarakhand to demand the release of their companions.

The protesting Nihangs demanded:

1. The immediate release of the four arrested men so they could be brought back to Punjab with dignity.

2. An impartial, fair investigation into the FIR.

3. A probe into the alleged biased police action.

The march proceeded through Paonta Sahib (Himachal Pradesh) and reached the Kulhal border of Uttarakhand, where heavy police barricading prevented their entry. The situation remained tense until the successful mediation on June 26 led by the Haryana CM's office finally defused the crisis.

Strong Tremors Felt in Chandigarh and Delhi-NCR Following 6.2 Magnitude Quake in Afghanistan

Earthquake tremors were felt across Chandigarh and adjoining areas of Punjab and Haryana on Saturday evening, prompting panicked residents to rush out of their homes and offices as a precautionary measure.

According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake struck at 7:08 PM and recorded a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Afghanistan, originating at a depth of 215 kilometers beneath the earth's surface.

Areas Affected The ripples of the Afghan earthquake were felt widely across North India. Apart from Chandigarh, significant tremors were reported in:

• Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR)

• Panchkula (Haryana)

• Mohali and Gurdaspur (Punjab)

No Casualties or Damage Reported Despite the widespread panic, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or property damage from any of the affected regions. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation.

The Science: Why Do Earthquakes Happen? The Earth's surface consists of seven major and several minor tectonic plates. These plates are in a state of constant motion and sometimes collide with one another. When they collide, the edges of the plates can bend. When the pressure becomes too immense, these plates break, releasing trapped underground energy. This energy violently pushes outwards to the surface, resulting in the disturbances we feel as earthquakes.

In a major action against police corruption, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Jind team arrested a lady Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) and her private accomplice red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 35,000 at the Bhattu Police Station in Fatehabad district, Haryana.

This marks the second arrest of a corrupt police official in the district within a span of 24 hours, sending shockwaves through the local police department.

The Extortion Plot: Demand of Rs 2 Lakh for a Settled Case The arrested officer, identified as ASI Talwinder Kaur, was serving as an Investigating Officer (IO) in the Women's Cell of the Bhattu police station for the past year. According to the ACB, the case pertained to a dispute involving a girl, which had already been mutually resolved by both parties.

Despite the compromise, the ASI deployed a private middlewoman, Kasturi Devi, to extort money from the complainant. The duo initially demanded a hefty sum of Rs 2 lakh to clear the file. When the complainant expressed his inability to pay such a large amount, the deal was eventually settled at Rs 35,000.

How the Trap Was Executed

• The Recording: Frustrated by the constant harassment, the complainant recorded his telephonic conversations with Kasturi Devi and approached the ACB.

• The Panchayat Setup: On Tuesday afternoon, a panchayat (meeting) of both parties was called at the police station. Following the meeting, ASI Talwinder Kaur explicitly instructed the complainant, "Meet Kasturi Devi, I have briefed her about everything."

• The Arrest: The bribe amount was first handed over to Kasturi Devi, who then passed it on to the ASI. The ACB team, which had already laid a trap, swooped in immediately and arrested both women red-handed with the bribe money.

Back-to-Back Arrests: Tohana SI Caught the Previous Day In a strikingly similar incident just a day prior, the ACB arrested Sub-Inspector (SI) Mahendra from the Tohana Sadar Police Station.

SI Mahendra was investigating a case involving fake Haryana Roadways bus passes. The officer allegedly visited the house of the complainant, Rakesh, and threatened him saying, "Pay Rs 72,000 or I will put you behind bars." Following negotiations, the bribe was fixed at Rs 35,000. The ACB team caught SI Mahendra red-handed while accepting the amount.

The swift actions by the Anti-Corruption Bureau highlight the persistent issue of grassroots corruption, but also demonstrate the department's firm commitment to bringing guilty officers to justice.

A tragic accident befell a group of pilgrims who had traveled from Sirsa, Haryana, to pay their respects at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar. Rajpreet Singh, an Amritdhari Sikh boy, lost his life in the incident. Chaos ensued at the scene, and local residents immediately began relief efforts.

According to reports, a group of 15 pilgrims from Sirsa had arrived in Amritsar around 2:00 AM on Sunday to visit Sri Harmandir Sahib. The group was waiting outside the main entrance of the railway station for the free bus service provided by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). While they were waiting, a massive, decades-old tree suddenly collapsed.

Body Taken into Custody and Sent for Post-mortem

Rajpreet Singh (13) was struck by the falling tree; he sustained severe injuries and died on the spot. ASI Bagicha Singh of the Amritsar Railway Police stated that the police have taken possession of the body and sent it for a post-mortem examination. The body will be handed over to the family once the post-mortem formalities are completed.

Upon receiving news of the incident, several officials and employees of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, including Sri Darbar Sahib Manager Bikramjit Singh, arrived at the scene. They expressed deep condolences to the bereaved family and assured them of all possible assistance. The deceased's father mentioned that their family is financially disadvantaged.

Adherence to Sikh Traditions

He stated that Rajpreet Singh had been deeply connected to the Sikh faith from a very young age. Rajpreet had received *Amrit* (undergone the initiation ceremony) early in life and was living the life of a devout *Gursikh* (an Amritdhari Sikh). He regularly recited *Gurbani*, visited the Gurdwara, and strictly adhered to Sikh traditions and code of conduct.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the chief of Dera Sacha Sauda, ​​has once again been released from jail. He stepped out of Rohtak's Sunaria Jail at 6:30 AM on Tuesday (May 26) on a 30-day parole and reached the Dera headquarters in Sirsa around 9:15 AM. His convoy comprised eight luxury vehicles, including models such as the Toyota Land Cruiser and Fortuner Legender.

This marks the 16th parole for Ram Rahim, who is currently serving a life sentence for the sexual exploitation of female disciples (Sadhvis). This is the second time he has been released from jail within just the first five months of this year. In January 2026, he was granted a 40-day parole and returned to jail in February. Since his conviction in 2017, the Dera chief has previously been granted parole or furlough on 15 occasions.

Exercising caution, the Rohtak jail administration released Ram Rahim early in the morning to prevent any crowd from gathering. Ram Rahim's convoy entered the Sirsa Dera premises through the rear gate. Following the Dera chief's arrival in Sirsa, the police administration has been placed on high alert. While the number of devotees (Sangat) at the Dera was low in the morning, the crowd is expected to swell as the day progresses. Followers are now eagerly awaiting a message from Ram Rahim.

**Granted 40-Day Parole on January 5**

Ram Rahim was sentenced to 20 years in prison in connection with the sexual exploitation case involving female disciples. He is currently serving his sentence at Sunaria Jail. On January 5, he was released from jail on a 40-day parole. That occasion coincided with 'Shah Satnam Day.' During that period, he stayed at the Dera's headquarters in Sirsa. On previous occasions when he was out of jail, he had stayed at the Dera's ashram in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh.

Immediately upon his arrival in Sirsa, he released a video message to his followers, urging them to strictly adhere to the instructions issued by the Dera officials. Imprisoned Since 2017

In fact, the convict Ram Rahim has been in jail since August 25, 2017, when he was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment in two cases related to the sexual exploitation of female disciples (Sadhvis). On January 17, 2019, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the murder case of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati.

However, the Punjab and Haryana High Court subsequently acquitted Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim in the Ram Chander Chhatrapati murder case. Nevertheless, the court upheld the convictions of three co-accused: Kuldeep Singh, Nirmal Singh, and Krishan Lal.

Furthermore, in October 2021, a CBI court sentenced him to life imprisonment in the murder case of Dera manager Ranjit Singh. Three years later, the Punjab and Haryana High Court acquitted the Dera chief in this case as well.

What are Parole and Furlough—the mechanisms through which Ram Rahim is released?

Parole: A prisoner may be granted parole if they have completed a certain portion of their sentence. Prisoners are granted parole only under special circumstances—such as the death or illness of a family member, the marriage of a close relative, or other compelling reasons. There are two types of parole: Regular and Custody. Under Regular Parole, the prisoner is allowed to remain at liberty, whereas under Custody Parole, the prisoner is accompanied by police personnel.

Learn about Furlough as well: A prisoner does not require any specific special circumstances to be eligible for furlough; it is their legal right. Every state has formulated its own specific rules and guidelines regarding furlough. While the rules and guidelines across many states are largely similar, the actual procedure for obtaining furlough varies from state to state.

In a major administrative crackdown, the Haryana Government’s Health Department has suspended four high-ranking medical professionals with immediate effect. The disciplined officials include three Senior Medical Officers (SMOs) and one Medical Officer (MO). The stern action was taken due to alleged non-performance, gross negligence, and a critical failure to effectively monitor and implement state-level initiatives aimed at improving the Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB).

The formal orders were issued by the Additional Chief Secretary (Health), Sumita Misra, sending a clear message across the state's medical infrastructure regarding accountability and performance standards.

Identity of the Suspended Health Officials

The official state directive lists the four affected medical personnel and their respective Community Health Centres (CHCs):

• Dr. Tina Anand: Senior Medical Officer (SMO) posted at CHC Purkhas in Sonipat.

• Dr. Vijay Parmar: Senior Medical Officer (SMO) posted at CHC Radaur in Yamunanagar.

• Dr. Satpal: Senior Medical Officer (SMO) posted at CHC Chiri in Rohtak.

• Dr. Prabha: Medical Officer (MO) posted at CHC Sehlang in Narnaul.

During their suspension period, these four officers will be detached from their current positions and attached to the offices of Civil Surgeons in Rohtak, Ambala, Jhajjar, and Rewari, respectively.

Reason Behind the Massive Crackdown

The primary catalyst for this swift disciplinary action is a recent, alarming dip in the state's gender metrics.

Key Statistics: In the first four months of 2026, Haryana’s Sex Ratio at Birth dropped significantly to 898 girls per 1,000 boys. This is a troubling decline compared to last year's record-high average of 923 girls per 1,000 boys.

Districts like Sonipat, Rohtak, and Yamunanagar—the exact jurisdictions of the suspended SMOs—were identified as major underperformers, dragging the gender ratio well below the critical 900-mark. Consequently, the government initiated formal disciplinary proceedings against them under Rule 7 of the Haryana Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 2016.

Strict Implementation of PC&PNDT and MTP Acts

Following the suspensions, Additional Chief Secretary Sumita Misra reinforced that the Health Department will show zero tolerance toward lax enforcement. She directed all district health authorities and Civil Surgeons to fiercely ramp up field-level monitoring.

The department is aggressively pursuing the strict implementation of:

1. The PC&PNDT Act: (Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act) to entirely eliminate illegal sex-determination practices and female foeticide.

2. The MTP Act: (Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act) to ensure legal compliance and protect public health.

All districts have been ordered to increase surprise raids on diagnostic facilities, enhance local intelligence, and establish robust grassroot-level surveillance systems to catch offenders early and stabilize the state's sex ratio.

A major incident of arson occurred in Chandigarh during the late hours of the night, where six vehicles—including five cars and one motorcycle—were reduced to ashes. The fire, which broke out under mysterious circumstances, spread rapidly, leaving the vehicle owners and residents in a state of shock.

Preliminary investigations suggest foul play. A CCTV video has surfaced showing a suspect fleeing the scene shortly after the fire started. Local police have cordoned off the area and are currently scanning multiple CCTV feeds from the vicinity to identify the individual and determine the exact cause of the blaze.

Key Highlights

• Location: Chandigarh (Specific sector details pending police confirmation).

• Damage: 5 cars and 1 bike completely destroyed.

• Time of Incident: Midnight/Early hours of the morning.

• Evidence: Video footage shows a suspect running away from the parking area.

• Police Action: FIR registered; forensics teams called; CCTV footage being analyzed for identification.

On Thursday morning in Yamunanagar, Haryana, 11 people—including 7 children and 2 women—sustained severe injuries following an LPG cylinder explosion. All of them suffered burns covering 50 to 60 percent of their bodies. One of the injured is a pregnant woman whose condition is critical. The force of the blast caused the walls of the house to collapse and even resulted in cracks appearing in the ceiling slab. The incident occurred around 8:00 AM, while gas was being transferred from a large cylinder to a smaller one inside the house.

Reports suggest that a sudden, loud explosion occurred during the gas transfer process, causing fire to engulf the entire house and trapping the people present inside. The blast was so powerful that it triggered panic in the surrounding area, prompting neighbors to rush to the scene to offer assistance. The injured were subsequently referred from the Civil Hospital to the PGI (Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research) for advanced treatment.

According to reports, two filled gas cylinders were kept in the room where the explosion took place; fortunately, these cylinders were not caught in the blast. Additionally, several other individuals had been present in the room earlier but had left for work at a nearby factory just moments before the explosion occurred.

**All in Critical Condition; Undergoing Treatment**

Upon receiving news of the incident in Salempur village, ambulances immediately arrived at the scene, and all the injured individuals were rushed to the Civil Hospital in Jagadhri. After receiving preliminary treatment there, 10 of the injured were referred to the PGI. The condition of several victims is reported to be critical. All the injured individuals are said to belong to migrant families. Approximately 17 rooms in this locality are occupied by migrant workers residing there with their families.

Upon being informed of the incident, the police also arrived at the scene and have initiated an investigation into the matter. Preliminary inquiries suggest that the accident likely occurred due to negligence. **These Individuals Were Injured in the Cylinder Accident**

The injured include Shanti (daughter of Vijender, 4), Shubhavati (daughter of Gajender, 11), Neha (daughter of Bende Raj, 9), Reena (wife of Gajender, 40), Saraswati (daughter of Vrinda Lal, 10), Sangeeta (wife of Ramsaran, 20)—who is two months pregnant—Simran (daughter of Gajender, 2 months), Vijayanti (daughter of Yogender, 6), Ramsaran (son of Ramvilas, 43), Ramgyan (son of Harichand, 43), and Anshu (daughter of Bhutan Thakur, 8).

**Up to 60 Percent of Bodies Burned**

With the exception of Anshu, all the victims have sustained burns ranging from 50 to 60 percent. Consequently, the remaining 10 patients have been referred to PGI Chandigarh with the assistance of four ambulances. Anshu is currently undergoing treatment at the Jagadhri Civil Hospital. Following the accident, two surgeons at the Jagadhri Civil Hospital immediately attended to the patients. DC Preeti also contacted the hospital to inquire about the condition of the injured.

**Many People Had Left the Room Just Half an Hour Earlier**

Eyewitnesses state that had this accident occurred half an hour earlier, the consequences could have been far more severe, as most of the migrant workers were present in their rooms at that time. They had subsequently left to go work at the factory.

**Injured Victim Says: Accident Caused by Leaking Cylinder**

Meanwhile, one of the injured victims, Ramsaran, explained that they were cooking food on a stove set up outside the room. Two gas cylinders were kept nearby, one of which was leaking. Suddenly, the leaking cylinder toppled over and fell into the room; this caused the entire gas content to leak inside, which then ignited upon contact with the stove's flame outside, resulting in a fireball and an explosion.

**SHO States: Accident Occurred While Transferring Gas Between Cylinders**

Tarsem Kumar, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Jagadhri Sadar Police Station, stated that preliminary information suggests the accident occurred while gas was being transferred from one cylinder to another inside the room. Currently, the police are investigating the matter. The actual cause of the accident will only be determined after the investigation. A forensic team has also arrived at the scene. Members of two families have been injured in this accident.

Haryana has not been receiving a continuous water supply from the Beas-Sutlej Link (BSL) since March 4, 2026. In this regard, the Chief Engineer of the Irrigation and Water Resources Department has written a letter to the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), seeking an explanation for the situation and demanding the immediate release of water. According to the department, gauge readings have consistently registered zero since March 4, making it evident that Haryana has received no water through the BSL during this period.

The letter states that due to the complete cessation of water flow from the BSL system, Haryana is receiving less than its allocated share of water. The state's water supply relies heavily on the Beas and Sutlej rivers; consequently, a reduction in water availability could have a direct impact on the state's requirements as well as the supply to Delhi-NCR.

**A Grave Situation May Arise**

The department has also noted that, in the absence of any contribution from the SYL canal, Haryana is currently able to draw only 1.62 MAF of water through the existing system. Under these circumstances, any further reduction in water supply could precipitate a grave situation for the state. Finally, the BBMB has been urged to immediately release Haryana's stipulated share of water and to ensure that the water supply via the BSL (Sundernagar) is not allowed to drop to zero levels.

**Supply Halted Since March 4**

The letter explicitly states that the water supply from the BSL to Haryana has been suspended since March 4, 2026. Gauge readings have consistently been recorded at zero. The Irrigation Department has sought a clarification from the BBMB regarding this matter. Apprehensions have been raised that the state is receiving less than its rightful share of water. Indeed, Haryana is heavily dependent on the waters of the Beas and Sutlej rivers. Furthermore, the state's capacity is already limited due to the non-completion of the SYL canal. A shortage of water could also adversely affect the supply to Delhi-NCR.

**BBMB's Rationale**

Meanwhile, according to sources, the reason behind the reduced water flow through the BSL lies in technical glitches at the Dehar Power House—a critical component of the diversion system. At the Dehar Project, only two of the six turbines are currently operational, which has significantly restricted the transfer of water from the   Beas basin to the Sutlej.

The BBMB has attributed this issue to aging infrastructure, stating that the Dehar Power House—which is over four decades old—requires immediate repairs.

**BBMB Has Written to the CEA**

Officials stated that the BBMB has already approached the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to provide consultancy services for the renovation and modernization of the turbines. The repair and restoration process is expected to be time-consuming, during which the capacity to divert water flow may remain limited.

On Wednesday morning, a renowned school in Gurugram received a threat to blow up the premises. The threat was conveyed via an email sent to the school's official email ID. Upon receiving the email, the school administration immediately moved the students to a safe location.

Meanwhile, acting swiftly upon receiving the information, the police and the Bomb Disposal Squad rushed to the scene. They cordoned off the area and initiated a thorough search of the school premises. The school administration immediately implemented security protocols and restricted entry into the school.

Manoj Kumar, SHO of the DLF Phase-1 Police Station, stated that the threatening email is currently under investigation. The Cyber ​​Cell has also been mobilized to trace the origin of the email.

**Threat to Pathways World School; Students Sent Home**

It is reported that the email was sent at 1:30 AM to Pathways World School—a prestigious institution located in Baliawas, Gurugram.

The school management discovered the email at 8:30 AM, following which the police were immediately notified.

Police teams arrived at approximately 8:45 AM. The Bomb Squad, accompanied by a K-9 unit, is currently conducting a search of the entire campus, including classrooms, the library, and other areas.

Students were sent home at 10:30 AM. The police search operation has been underway for two hours. As of now, there have been no reports of any suspicious objects being found. The school has an enrollment of 2,000 students.

**School Management Appeals to Parents**

Over the past few months, several schools in Gurugram have received similar bomb threats via emails or phone calls, all of which subsequently proved to be hoaxes. The school management has appealed to parents not to panic. The school will reopen only after the investigation has been completed.

**Police Apprehend Bangladeshi National Behind Threats**

Just a day earlier, the police arrested a Bangladeshi national in connection with threats to blow up 20 schools across Haryana. The individual had entered India nine years ago and had been residing in the country using forged documents. The police apprehended the accused in Gujarat and brought him back.

The accused has been identified as Saurabh Biswas, alias Michael (30). He has completed his education up to the 12th grade and is a native of Bangladesh. Currently, he resides in Shripalli Bazar, Govindpalli, in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. On January 28, he sent emails claiming that bombs had been planted in several schools across Gurugram. For this act, he received 250 USDT in cryptocurrency.

**Fabricated Indian Documents**

Police interrogation of the accused revealed that he had been residing in the area using fraudulently created documents. Initially, he worked as a laborer at Maruti. The accused possesses knowledge of digital marketing, graphic design, and related fields. For the past five years, he had been working as a freelancer in the digital marketing sector.

**Provided Approximately 300 Gmail IDs**

He was a member of a Facebook group where he established contact with a Bangladeshi national named Mamunur Rashid. Rashid requested Gmail IDs from him, promising to pay him in USDT cryptocurrency in exchange. Subsequently, he provided approximately 300 Gmail IDs to Mamunur Rashid.

In return, he received approximately 250 USDT in cryptocurrency. One of these email IDs was utilized in the aforementioned incident to send the hoax emails regarding bombs in the schools.

FARIDABAD:

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a severe road accident in Faridabad claimed the life of a young man late last night. The victim, who was driving a luxury Land Rover Defender, died on the spot after his vehicle violently rammed into a heavily loaded dumper truck parked negligently on the side of the road. The tragic incident has left two families devastated, especially given the emotional backdrop: the young man had been married for just a year and was returning to his residence after safely dropping his wife off at her maternal home.

The fatal collision occurred in the late hours of the night on a major stretch of the Faridabad highway. According to initial reports from the local authorities, the victim was traveling alone in his SUV. He had spent the earlier part of the evening dropping his wife off at her parents' house and was making his way back home. The road stretch where the accident took place is known to handle heavy commercial traffic, and it was here that a massive dumper truck had been parked along the roadside.

Eyewitnesses and highway patrol officers stated that the dumper truck lacked proper functional tail lights, hazard indicators, or reflective safety tapes, making it nearly invisible in the dark. As the young man was driving his Defender at cruising speed, he likely failed to spot the stationary heavy vehicle in time to brake or swerve. The resulting impact was catastrophic. The front end of the robust luxury SUV was completely crushed, sliding underneath the rear chassis of the elevated dumper truck.

Passersby who heard the deafening crash immediately rushed to the scene and alerted the emergency services. Upon receiving the distress call, a team from the local Faridabad police station, accompanied by a rescue unit and an ambulance, arrived at the accident site. However, the severity of the crash made rescue operations incredibly challenging. The cabin of the Defender was heavily mangled, and rescue personnel had to use specialized metal cutters and hydraulic tools to pry the wreckage open and extricate the victim.

Despite the prompt response, the young man had sustained severe, massive trauma to his head and chest due to the high-impact collision. He was immediately rushed to the nearest government hospital in Faridabad, where attending physicians declared him dead on arrival.

The news of the tragedy sent shockwaves through his family and the local community. Relatives who rushed to the hospital were inconsolable. The tragedy is heavily compounded by the fact that the couple had celebrated their first wedding anniversary only recently. What was supposed to be a routine trip to drop his wife off at her maternal home turned into an unimaginable nightmare. Family members wept as they recalled his lively nature and the promising future the young couple had ahead of them.

Local police have initiated a thorough investigation into the crash. An FIR (First Information Report) has been registered against the driver of the dumper truck under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for causing death by negligence and endangering public safety. The driver of the truck reportedly fled the scene immediately after the collision, abandoning the heavy vehicle on the highway. Police have seized the dumper and are currently tracing its registration details to apprehend the absconding driver and the transport company owner.

The deceased's body was handed over to his grieving family members on Sunday morning following a mandatory post-mortem examination.

This devastating incident has once again highlighted the severe and chronic issue of road safety in the National Capital Region (NCR). Illegally parked heavy vehicles, particularly dumper trucks and lorries, along poorly lit highways have become a notorious death trap for nighttime commuters. Despite repeated warnings and safety campaigns by the traffic police, the lack of stringent enforcement allows commercial drivers to abandon their vehicles on highway shoulders without proper warning reflectors. Authorities are now being urged by local citizens to take strict, uncompromising action against transport operators who flout highway parking protocols, to ensure that no other family has to suffer such an unbearable and preventable loss.
