2
Jaipur: A 35-year-old assistant professor from a medical college in Karauli lost her life after a tragic road accident Wednesday night.
The victim, identified as Diksha Sirohi, was travelling on her scooter when a dumper truck ran over her, leading to fatal injuries.
The accident occurred around 8pm near the Collectorate, in front of St John's School, as Sirohi was making her way from Madan Mohan Temple to her rented accommodation in the city.
A CCTV footage retrieved from the area Thursday provided crucial evidence of the accident, capturing the moment of the collision.
According to head constable Khem Singh from the Kotwali police station, the unfortunate sequence of events was triggered when a car parked by the roadside suddenly opened its door, causing Sirohi to collide and fall under the rear wheel of the passing truck.
Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Sirohi succumbed to her injuries, leaving her family and colleagues in deep mourning.
The driver of the dumper truck fled the scene immediately after the accident, prompting a swift police investigation.
"An FIR has been filed, and we are actively pursuing the truck driver involved in the accident," said a police official. The officer added, "The CCTV footage clearly shows the sequence of events and we are confident that the accused will be apprehended soon."
The victim's body was handed over to her grieving family following a post-mortem examination Thursday.

J-K village defence guard ‘thrashed' after firing in air on Independence Day eve, constable suspended
The Jammu and Kashmir Police suspended a constable and initiated an inquiry into a DySP over the alleged thrashing of a village defence guard (VDG), who had fired into the air in Doda district's Thathri area after purportedly noticing some suspicious movement on the eve of Independence Day. Sources said Balbir Singh had noticed some suspicious movement in his Pernote village ahead of Independence Day celebrations and fired two rounds into the air. The next morning, he was summoned to Premnagar police outpost, where he was allegedly beaten up by a selection grade constable, Mohammad Zia. 'Zia has been placed under suspension with immediate effect and attached to the Doda district police lines,' a police spokesperson said. This followed Doda SSP Sandeep Mehta taking serious note of the incident, he said. Meanwhile, a departmental inquiry was ordered and a senior officer was asked to investigate the incident comprehensively and submit his report within a fortnight, the spokesperson said. In addition, the conduct of the then Thathri Station House Officer, DySP Afeer Jaleel, will also be thoroughly examined, he said. The inquiry officer has been directed to assess his role and submit specific findings for further necessary action, the spokesperson said. Balbir Singh said that after noticing suspicious movement by some unidentified people, he had first issued a warning to them, and after finding no response, he fired two rounds into the air. 'We were told to be alert about any suspicious movement as Independence Day was near. There was also a threat perception. I was only performing my duty,' he said. Security forces had an elaborate security system in place for the first Independence Day since Operation Sindoor. The Army had a three-layered security system in place on the Line of Control, with smart fences, robotic mules, quadcopters, advanced surveillance tools, night vision sights and all-terrain vehicles being deployed.

NESO protests across Northeast seeking to curb illegal Bangladeshi immigration
Shillong: The North East Student Organisations (NESO) on Monday staged sit-in strikes across all state capitals of the region, demanding that the Centre and state governments act decisively to curb illegal immigration from Bangladesh and safeguard the indigenous people. The NESO staged sit-in strikes across all state capitals in the Northeast on Monday. Addressing protesters in Meghalaya's capital Shillong, NESO chairman Samuel B Jyrwa said the agitation was a call to action against decades of unchecked influx that has altered the demographic balance in several states. 'We have faced this problem of illegal immigration especially from Bangladesh into different parts of the Northeast. We have seen the situation in Tripura, Assam and even Meghalaya, where there have been upheavals and people's movements against this infiltration,' he said. Jyrwa cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day address acknowledging the impact of large-scale illegal immigration on the Northeast, adding, 'Since the Prime Minister has acknowledged this grave issue, we hope the Government of India takes concrete steps on the ground to protect the welfare of the indigenous people.' Even as the protests were underway, tension flared in Assam's Barak Valley where two Khasi villagers, Raju Kasar and Bikas Syngkor, were left critically injured after a group of 25–30 men, alleged to be suspected Bangladeshis, attacked them with daos, sharp weapons and country-made firearms at Kalakhal Khasi Punji under Kachudaram police station on August 15. The victims were among six villagers who had gone to their betel leaf plantation when the group confronted them and demanded they vacate the land. On their refusal, the mob allegedly launched a violent assault. Both victims are battling for their lives at Silchar Medical College and Hospital. The Khasi Students Union (KSU) Barrack Valley, in a letter to the Cachar district authorities, demanded immediate action, accusing the attackers of involvement in theft, timber smuggling and drug trafficking. KSU president Walton Rymbai warned that the situation in Kalakhal was extremely tense. 'The culprits have threatened to burn down the village and target our school-going girls….. The situation is very tense. The Kalakhal village people are not able to move out of the village and school- going children especially our young girls stop going to school as their life is under threat,' he said. A first information report (FIR) has been filed by Sibil Suchiang, wife of one of the victims, at Kachudaram Police Station. The NESO said it would soon convene a meeting to chalk out its next course of action, even as the Kalakhal attack underscores the urgent need for government intervention to address the growing sense of insecurity among indigenous communities.
