Panipat Highway - SUV overturns: Two friends dead, four injured
A Scorpio carrying six young men overturned multiple times on the Panipat-Khatima National Highway near VKIT College, close to Peeli Chowki, in Bijnor, late on Wednesday night, leaving Devansh, 22, and Shivang Rawat, 24, dead, and four others injured. The injured were admitted to different hospitals across the district for treatment, the police said. According to the police, the group of six friends had gone to attend a wedding at Om Farm House, near Kotwali Dehat, on Wednesday evening. After the celebrations, the friends were returning to Bijnor around 2:00 AM, with Aditya, a resident of Mayapuri village under Nagal Soti police station limits, in the driving seat. The other occupants included Devansh, son of Varun alias Bhole from Salambad; Shivang Rawat, son of Jagdish Rawat from Awas Vikas Colony; Aditya from Rambagh Colony; and Shivam and Vishu from Vasundhara Vihar, Bijnor. As the vehicle neared VKIT College, the driver reportedly lost control due to high speed. The Scorpio swerved violently, flipped around 10 times on the highway, and eventually landed in a nearby field. The impact was so severe that the vehicle was completely mangled. Before the accident, the friends had even recorded a short video reel inside the car, capturing moments of joy that would turn into heartbreak just minutes later. Upon receiving the alert, police teams and family members rushed to the scene. 'All six individuals were pulled out of the wreckage and taken to the Medical College Hospital. Devansh and Shivang, who were seated at the back, were declared dead at the hospital. The other four injured were admitted to different hospitals across the district for treatment,' said ASP Vijay Kumar Singh. Both Devansh and Shivang were the only sons of their parents. Devansh was pursuing the final year of his MBA from Chandigarh. Shivang was pursuing engineering. Police are investigating the exact cause of the accident, but preliminary reports point towards speeding and loss of control, the officer said.

Resilient 29-year-old steers past shadows of terror
Surat: On May 26, 2006, a summer vacation turned into a nightmare for the Jariwala family in Srinagar. Shivang Jariwala , just a 10-year-old then, was hurriedly disembarking from a bus at which a grenade had been thrown, oblivious to how his life was about to change its course. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Those frantic steps he had taken were going to be his last. But his journey was not destined to end there. The attack, executed by terrorists on a motorcycle, left Shivang with serious spinal injuries that left his lower body permanently paralyzed. For Shivang, it marked the beginning of a challenging journey through multiple surgeries in Srinagar and Mumbai, all unsuccessful in restoring movement below his waist. What he realised over the years was that he was made of sterner stuff, one that transcended his physical limitations. Today, 19 years later, Shivang drives himself to work in a specially modified Suzuki Swift. After receiving approval from the Regional Transport Office, he researched car modifications online and had acceleration and brake controls installed in the steering wheel. He subsequently obtained a driving licence for persons with disabilities. "I drive on highways too. I drive to Mumbai with friends sometimes," he told TOI. The blast that altered Shivang's life claimed four young lives from the Jariwala family: Krishna (16), Fenil (8), Robin (8) and Khushboo (16). "I was bedridden for almost 12 years," Shivang told TOI. Despite this setback, he continued his education, studying at home and attending school with support only to take exams. He completed his Class 10, refusing to let his physical limitations define his future. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With unwavering support from his loved ones, Shivang eventually took to meditation to improve his health and made the decision to join his family's textile manufacturing business, where he now manages bookkeeping and computer work. "Reaching the place of work was a challenge and hence I got my car modified. There has been no looking back since," Shivang said. "Someone has to lift Shivang and take him to the car and later help him get down. But he manages to drive the car on his own," said Hemaxi, his mother.

Wounds reopened for Surat family that lost 4 children in 2006 grenade attack
1 2 3 4 5 6 Surat: Kashmira Jariwala chokes up and begins to cry at the words 'terror' and 'Kashmir', even 19 years on. Her daughter Krishna (16) was killed in the attack along with three other children from the same group of relatives, on the outskirts of Srinagar on May 26, 2006. Twenty-two members of the Jariwala family and their relatives were on a summer vacation in Jammu & Kashmir. They got to Srinagar on May 25, and their bus was attacked the next day. They were going to Mughal Gardens when two men rode up on a motorcycle and threw a grenade into the moving bus. The explosion killed Krishna, Fenil Jariwala (8), Robin Jariwala (8) and Khushboo Jariwala (16). Shivang (29) was badly injured in the spine and his lower body has been paralysed ever since. Even as the whole country was shocked, the Jariwalas were devastated. They had gone to J&K for a vacation with four young ones but returned to the city with their bodies. "Krishna had called just two hours before the attack, to inquire about her Class X result. She passed the exam scoring 86%," said Chandan, Krishna's grandmother, with tears in her eyes. Krishna had gone for the vacation with her uncle and aunt. Shivang's mother, Hemaxi, said, "We lost four young ones from our family and never went back to Kashmir. We will never go there again." "I lost my daughter in the attack. It was a tragedy that engulfed our entire family. We can never forget what happened that day," said Rajesh Jariwala, Krishna's father. The grenade had landed behind Shivang's seat, injuring him in the lower back. He was 10 years old then. The other children were in the seats where the grenade went off. Shivang was hospitalized in Srinagar for six days and was operated on. He was later taken to Mumbai for another surgery. "We were going to see the gardens when two men on a motorcycle threw a grenade into the bus. I suffered multiple injuries in the attack," said Shivang. "I was young then, but I remember how I ran holding Shivang's hand and got off the bus. We tried to get help from people nearby, but a few people closed their doors as we were covered in blood. We later found shelter in a home where Shivang sat down but was unable to get up again," said Urvisha (28), Shivang's younger sister. The then CM Narendra Modi came to console the family and announced financial support. Modi in 2021 spoke of the incident in his farewell to Ghulam Nabi Azad in Parliament, mentioning how the then chief minister of J&K, Azad, had helped and was almost crying while informing him about the incident. "We are speechless when such things happen. We can never forget what happened to us. We should stop going to J&K. There are many other places," said Rakesh, Robin's father. In memory of the children, a monument has been built at a crossroads in the Rustampura area. The families earlier lived in a neighbourhood nearby. On the anniversary of the attack, the families, friends, relatives and other citizens pay homage to the victims at the memorial.
