Four killed in road mishap in Hisar
The deceased have been identified as Raju, a resident of Rajli village and Ram Mehar Punia, 27, Praveen Bhadu, 28, and Ravinder Sharma, 24; all residents of Kirori village in Hisar. Raju was Ram Mehar's brother-in-law. Except Praveen, all of them were married and they were unemployed.
According to police officials, the incident took place around 1 am on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday when a truck loaded with fertiliser was going towards Agroha from Barwala on a single road with no divider when the Creta came from the opposite side and both the vehicles collided near Nangthala village.
'Raju had gone to give Kothli (sweets box given to sister in the month of Sawan) to his sister at her in-laws house in Kirori village. From there, he along with his brother-in-law Ram Mehar and two others were returning to his village Rajli on Sunday night. The incident was so severe that police had to cut out the doors of the car to take out bodies. The car was damaged badly,' he added.
He further said that the bodies were sent to Maharaja Agrasen Medical College in Agroha and an investigation has been initiated in the case, adding the truck driver has been booked for rash driving and causing death due to negligence.

Viral video shows riderless bike circling ‘maut ka kuan' after performer falls at ‘Sawan' fair in UP
A dramatic incident at the Sawan fair in Maharajganj's Panchmukhi Shiva Temple left visitors stunned on Monday evening, after a stunt went horribly wrong inside the infamous 'Well of Death' (Maut Ka Kuan). A performer lost control and was thrown off his motorcycle mid-act. The bike, however, didn't stop. In a bizarre twist, it kept circling the cylindrical structure on its own for nearly an hour, drawing gasps from the crowd. The mishap occurred in the Itahia area under Thuthibari Kotwali police limits, where the temple fair is being held as part of the Sawan festivities. A video of the moment has since gone viral, capturing the riderless motorcycle racing along the vertical walls while spectators watched in disbelief. The clip also shows two cars and several individuals still inside the structure as the bike continued its haunting loop. A post shared by Brut India (@ Authorities stepped in soon after. Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Nand Prakash Maurya confirmed that while the fair had official clearance for swing rides, no permission was granted for the stunt show. 'The stunt arena was set up arbitrarily by the ride operator without specific permission,' Maurya told The Times of India. 'On Monday, a youth performing inside the well fell and sustained injuries during the stunt.' In response to the incident, officials have shut down the Well of Death and issued strict safety instructions for the remaining rides at the fair. The 'Maut Ka Kuan', often referred to as the 'Well of Death' or 'Wall of Death', is a high-adrenaline stunt show commonly seen at traditional fairs and carnivals. In this act, performers on motorcycles, and occasionally in cars, speed around the inner walls of a giant vertical cylinder. Relying on centrifugal force, they manage to cling to the near-vertical surface, giving the illusion of defying gravity and leaving spectators both thrilled and amazed.

Barabanki temple stampede: SDM removed, new official takes charge
Barabanki (UP), Aug 1 (PTI) In the first major administrative action following the recent stampede at the Avsaneshwar Temple in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, that claimed two lives, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Haidergarh Shams Tabrez Khan has been removed from his post, according to an official order. Rajesh Vishwakarma has been appointed as the new Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Haidergarh and took charge at the temple on Thursday. District Magistrate Shashank Tripathi ordered the transfer of Tabrez following public dissatisfaction over poor arrangements during the first two Mondays of Sawan at the popular Shiva temple. He has now been posted as the special land acquisition officer at the collectorate. Although local volunteers and temple committee members did not raise complaints publicly, murmurs persisted that Tabrez had not been present on either of the critical Mondays. Other key administrative officials, including the tehsildar and naib tehsildar, were also allegedly absent. On Thursday evening, Vishwakarma visited the Avsaneshwar Temple, offered prayers, and inspected the temple premises and the adjoining fairground. He issued strict instructions ensuring no lapses in devotees' safety. At the Gomti River ghat, where pilgrims bathe before offering holy water (jalabhishek) to the deity, Vishwakarma found the water level had risen, however, there were no safety arrangements in place. He immediately ordered the barricading of the ghat and issued stern directions to the revenue and police teams on site. During a joint inspection with temple committee chairman Sanjay Giri, manager Vinod Giri, and priest Atul Goswami, Vishwakarma reviewed all arrangements and instructed corrective action wherever shortcomings were observed. He also directed adequate police force be deployed across all critical points in and around the temple premises for the upcoming Monday. Additionally, the presence of two ambulances has been made mandatory. Two people were killed and 32 injured in a stampede at the temple after a live electric wire, broken by monkeys, fell onto a tin shed early on Monday, officials said. The electric current spread through the tin shed as the wire fell, triggering panic and a stampede in the temple premises. Earlier, DGP Uttar Pradesh Rajeev Krishna, at a program in Lucknow, maintained that the deaths were caused by electrocution and not because of the stampede.
