Muslim man slits own throat on Eid-ul-Zuha in Deoria
Lucknow: A 60-year-old man allegedly sacrificed himself on the occasion of Eid-ul-Zuha by slitting his own throat on Saturday. Identified as Ish Mohammad (60), he reportedly bled for nearly an hour in a hut outside his house before family members found him writhing in pain. Despite being rushed to Gorakhpur Medical College, he succumbed to his injuries. Before taking the extreme step, Ish Mohammad is said to have left a handwritten note addressed to his family, in which he wrote: "A man raises a goat like his own child and sacrifices it for Allah. I am offering my own sacrifice in the name of Allah and His Messenger." The incident has sent shockwaves across the district. The distressing incident was reported to UP-112 emergency services, following which a police response vehicle (PRV) rushed to the spot. Police said Ish Mohammad was found critically injured and was immediately taken by ambulance to Deoria Medical College for treatment. Given the severity of his condition, he was later referred to BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur for advanced care. However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. According to Additional Superintendent of Police (North) Deoria, Arvind Kumar Verma, preliminary investigation and on-site forensic evidence suggest that the act was self-inflicted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 착용했을 때, 더 뿌듯한 팔찌 유니세프 지금 기부하기 Undo A suicide note was also recovered, in which the deceased spoke of offering himself as a "sacrifice" on Bakrid.

UP Police launches security plan for Bakrid
Lucknow: Ahead of Eid-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) on June 7, the UP Police launched a security and coordination plan across the state to ensure peaceful festivities. Acting on the directives of DGP Rajeev Krishna, top police officials at the zonal, range and district levels implemented a multi-layered strategy aimed at preventing communal tension, ensuring public order and maintaining religious harmony. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Key focus areas include enhanced patrolling, community outreach, a crackdown on banned animal sacrifices, and real-time social media monitoring. Over 1,178 peace committee meetings with religious leaders, civil society members and local administrators were held to promote dialogue. Authorities identified 2,623 sensitive spots across districts and deployed 2,134 quick response teams (QRTs) equipped with riot-control gear. Krishna directed that no new sacrificial practices be introduced and that public roads remain unobstructed. Municipal bodies were roped in to ensure the swift disposal of animal remains. To reinforce local police, headquarters dispatched two additional SPs, six DSPs, 51 PAC companies and three RRF companies to vulnerable districts. Special foot patrols by gazetted officers were intensified, while UP-112 emergency response vehicles were rerouted and briefed for rapid deployment. Strict surveillance is also underway to counter rumour-mongering and inflammatory content on social media, with legal action promised against those spreading communal hatred. Reviewing past Eid-ul-Zuha-related incidents, senior officers took preventive legal action in areas with histories of tension. "The goal is zero disturbance and 100% community cooperation," said a senior police official. The UP Police reiterated its resolve to ensure that Bakrid is celebrated in an atmosphere of peace and mutual respect.
