वो छाता लेकर आराम से जा रही है। दूर-दूर तक इस लड़की कि कोई गलती नही दिख रही है। बल्कि वो गाड़ी देखकर 2 सेकंड के लिए रुकी भी थी ऐसा नही है कि वो जल्दीबाजी में थी उसके बावजूद ऐसा हादसा ! इस दर्दनाक हादसे में इसकी जान चली गई। थोड़ी सी लापरवाही मौत का कारण बन गई। #RoorkeeNews pic.twitter.com/AO7hCa6sWo — Adv Harsh Saini ہرش سینی (@Sainiharsh841) June 30, 2025

The incident, which was captured on CCTV, took place in Ghaziabad's Saya Gold Avenue society. The clip shows the resident complaining to the maintenance staff about the water shortage in the society. It soon turned into an argument and the two stood up to yell at each other. During this time, the resident pushed the staff member, following which the official punched him in the face. He then kept hitting the resident with at least five staff members trying to stop the fight. As the staff members managed to pull the two away, the resident charged at the society's maintenance staff again. The violent fight resumed with the two shouting at each other. The resident was seen holding the staff member's shirt with other members putting in all efforts to pull them away. Police have taken one accused into custody for questioning, officials said. A similar incident took place in June this year when residents living at a high-rise housing complex in Greater Noida were punched, kicked, and beaten with sticks after they complained of a power outage. A video of the incident had gone viral on social media, in which the guards and other staff can be seen hitting some residents with sticks. Another clip showed three to four men punching and kicking the residents in front of a child standing nearby.

3 Boys Go Missing During Weekly Day Out From Shimla's Oldest Boarding School: Cops
Shimla: Three minor students of one of the oldest premier boys boarding schools for boys in Asia, the Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, founded in 1859, have gone missing under mysterious circumstances while on a weekly day out in the Himachal Pradesh capital, police said on Sunday. One of the students, who belongs to Mohali, is related to a minister in Punjab, while another is from a prominent business family of Karnal in Haryana, and the third one is from the state's Kullu. The three students of Class 6 had gone to Mall Road for shopping on an outing on Saturday. The other students who had gone with them returned, but the three's whereabouts are still unknown, said the police. Senior Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Gandhi told the media here that police teams have been formed to search for the children. Delhi and Haryana Police have also been contacted to trace their whereabouts. He said a case has been registered. With the police launching a search operation to find them out, vehicles going towards Shoghi, the entry and exit points of the state capital on the Shimla-Chandigarh national highway, are being searched. It is believed that the children have gone somewhere without informing anyone. The police have not ruled out the possibility of their kidnapping. Police investigations showed that the children were seen in different localities of the city in CCTV footage during the outing, particularly on Mall Road, but disappeared after some time. BCS is an elite boarding school in the country, and children from India and abroad come here to study. Every week, the children go on an outing on Saturday. Except for the three students, all other children returned to the school on time. The school management has lodged a complaint with the police about the three missing children. Their disappearance has raised safety concerns about the students in the boarding school.
