'Hugging favourite student relieves stress': MP school principal accused of harassing Class 7 girl under guise of ‘depression relief'; booked under POCSO
Bhopal: A government school principal in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly trying to hug a Class 7 student under the pretext of relieving 'depression' and threatening to kill her if she spoke about it. The incident took place on July 26 but came to light only after the girl, accompanied by her family, lodged a complaint on August 11. According to the complaint and local media reports, the principal came to her classroom on July 26, called her his 'best student' and told her that 'when a teacher is in depression, hugging his favourite student relieves stress.' Later that day, around 4 pm, when classes ended, the girl went to the school storeroom to deposit a sackcloth, accompanied by a friend. The principal allegedly sent her friend outside, held her hand, and tried to hug her with ill intent. When she resisted, he allegedly threatened to kill her if she revealed the incident. The girl said she remained silent out of fear for over two weeks before informing her family. Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the POCSO Act and informed the district education department. 'We took immediate action after receiving the complaint. The case is under investigation,' police said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

AC duct treasure: 316 whisky bottles seized after passenger reported cooling issues, liquor smuggling foiled on Lucknow–Barauni Express; coach attendant arrested
316 whisky bottles hidden in an AC duct after a passenger reported cooling issues LUCKNOW: As Bihar prepares for its upcoming assembly elections, liquor smugglers are intensifying efforts to sneak alcohol into the dry state. In a dramatic incident aboard the Lucknow Junction–Barauni Express (Train No. 15204), 316 whisky bottles were discovered hidden inside the air-conditioning duct of an AC-2 tier coach. The discovery was made on Tuesday afternoon when a passenger complained about poor cooling in the sixth row of coach A2. Upon inspection, a railway technician found whisky bottles wrapped in newspaper obstructing airflow above berths 32 and 34. The stash included 256 bottles of Officer's Choice and 60 bottles of After Dark Blue whisky, each 180 ml, totaling nearly 57 litres of illegal liquor. The onboard GRP team from Basti, which had taken charge of the train at Burhwal Junction, was alerted immediately. Upon arrival at Basti station, a joint team of GRP and RPF recovered the entire consignment. Passengers captured the moment on video, with one officer heard exclaiming, 'Yeh dekhiye khazana!' ('Look at this treasure!'). Station House Officer of Basti GRP, Pankaj Kumar Yadav, confirmed the arrest of Ashish Kumar, a coach attendant from Khagaria district in Bihar. During interrogation, Ashish admitted to regularly smuggling liquor from Uttar Pradesh to Bihar, where prohibition laws have created a thriving black market. He revealed that he concealed the bottles in the AC duct to avoid detection and sold them at double the price to support his family. Ashish has been booked under Section 60 of the Excise Act and sent to jail. Interestingly, Ashish's official duty as coach attendant was in a different coach, but to guard his illegal whisky consignment, he had moved to A2 coach, while the actual coach attendant (identity withheld by TOI) was on leave.

‘Playing asleep saved life it seems': Masked thieves rob home, one stands over sleeping owner with iron rod in MP
A gang of masked, armed burglars carried out a daring break-in at the residence of retired judge Justice Ramesh Garg in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, stealing cash and valuables worth lakhs, police confirmed on Wednesday. The chilling incident occurred on the night of Raksha Bandhan, reports said. Justice Garg, a former Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court, and his family were reportedly asleep during the robbery and remained unaware until the burglars had fled. In the CCTV footage, three intruders, masked, gloved, and carrying an iron rod, can be seen entering the home. One entered the judge's bedroom and stood closely near Justice Garg, who was asleep, ready to attack with a rod in case he woke up. Meanwhile, a second burglar searched through drawers and cupboards, as a third kept watch outside. The entire burglary lasted nearly 20 minutes. Watch the video here: Thieves in Indore quietly swiped jewelry and cash while the family slept, unaware of the Robbery😨 — Ghar Ke Kalesh (@gharkekalesh) August 13, 2025 The video amassed over a million views, prompting a range of reactions. 'If he was aware and still chose to sleep, then good job he saved his life and his family,' a user wrote. 'No one would sleep through so much noise. He just acted like he was sleeping and didn't move, because he knew he would be attacked!!' another user commented. 'The guy was holding a small ice so the scenario would have been that he told the person to lie down like that or he will be killed,' a third user reacted. 'Playing asleep saved life it seems,' a fourth user said. 'This was clearly a highly organized group. The way they executed the robbery shows professional planning and coordination,' Umakant Choudhary, a senior police official, was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. 'Given the seriousness of the crimes, we have formed multiple teams to look into the matter. Preliminary investigations suggest that this gang has been involved in similar incidents in the past,' he added. Vijay Nagar police have registered a case and launched a probe. Authorities are currently analysing CCTV footage from multiple locations to trace the suspects, the report stated.
