Obsessed with having a son, Gujarat man kills seven-year-old daughter; arrested after wife reveals truth
AHMEDABAD: A man has been arrested for killing his seven-year-old daughter by throwing her into a canal in Gujarat's Kheda district, reportedly because he wanted a son. The accused, Vijay Solanki, a resident of Chelawat village in Kapadvanj taluka, was arrested after his wife, Anjanaben Solanki, revealed the truth days after the incident. The murder took place on the night of Guru Purnima, July 10, during a supposed family outing to the Deepeshwari Mata temple. Police said Vijay had always been unhappy about not having a son and often showed dislike towards his daughters. Despite having two daughters, Bhumika, 7, and a three-year-old, his obsession with having a male child eventually led him to commit the murder. On the night of the crime, Vijay took Anjanaben and Bhumika on a motorbike to the temple. After a rushed visit, he insisted they return immediately. As they passed the Waghawat bridge over the Narmada Canal, he stopped the bike and lured his crying daughter to the canal's edge under the pretence of showing her fish. Before Anjanaben could react, Vijay threw the child into the canal. He threatened his wife with divorce if she ever spoke of the incident. The following day, Bhumika's body was discovered in the canal, and an accidental death case was initially filed. Being threatened by her husband, Anjanaben told police that Bhumika had fallen into the canal.

4 students held for stabbing principal in Hisar
Hansi police on Friday apprehended four students for allegedly stabbing to death a 50-year-old private school principal in Hisar's Bass village after he asked them to get haircuts, dress properly, and follow discipline. Hansi superintendent of police (SP) Amit Yashvardha during a media conference on Friday. (HT Photo) According to police, the accused boys—aged 15 and 16—are students of Kartar Memorial Senior Secondary School in Bass village, located in Hansi subdivision, about 26 km from Hisar. They attacked principal Jagbir Pannu, a resident of Puthi Saman village, with knives during his morning rounds on Thursday. Hansi superintendent of police (SP) Amit Yashvardhan said the boys were angry over repeated scoldings from the principal. They were caught on Friday from a bus stand in Mundhal village in Bhiwani district, around 15 km from the school. 'All four were in school uniform at the time of arrest. They were upset because the principal often asked them to trim their hair, keep their shirts tucked in, and avoid drug use. He had earlier warned them not to carry banned items in their school bags. Believing he held a personal grudge, they planned the attack. Two carried out the stabbing, while the other two were involved in the conspiracy,' he said. Police said the accused took responsibility for the attack and posted it to social media and even threatened to harm Pannu's son next if they were not paid ₹10 lakh. Authorities said the boys would be sent to a safe house by evening. Teachers, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Pannu had warned the students multiple times about smoking and keeping untrimmed hair, but they ignored his instructions. 'After stabbing the principal, the boys left their school bags in the classroom. A mobile phone and two energy drinks were found in one of the bags,' a police officer added. School body demands 'safety law' after principal's murder in Hisar, plans statewide protests A day after a school principal was allegedly murdered by a group of students in Hisar, the National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) strongly condemned the incident and called for the enactment of a 'school safety law' to protect teachers and school administrators in Haryana. In response to the shocking incident, NISA announced statewide protests to press for their demand. The alliance's national president, Kulbhushan Sharma, said the murder has deeply shaken the education community, especially since it occurred on the day of Guru Purnima, a festival dedicated to teachers. 'It is disheartening that neither the state government nor opposition leaders have expressed any condolences over such a grave tragedy,' Sharma said. 'Teachers across the state are now gripped by fear. How can we carry out our duties in such an environment?' As a mark of protest, member schools of the alliance observed a 'Black Day' by wearing black armbands. He added that NISA plans to organise demonstrations in every district and submit memorandums to the chief minister through respective deputy commissioners and superintendents of police. The key demand is the implementation of a school safety law to ensure a secure teaching environment. 'Providing a safe space for educators is essential if we want schools to continue contributing meaningfully to the progress of the state and the nation,' Sharma stated.
