UP: Brother-sister duo on the way to school killed in accident
The incident occurred around 7.30 am near Silhari village when the three children were going to school on their bicycles, they said.
The district magistrate had ordered the schools in Budaun to remain closed from Saturday to Monday due to traffic diversions related to the Kanwar Yatra but some schools defied the order and remained open.
DM Avneesh Rai told PTI that the matter has come to his notice and he has ordered an inquiry.
'Strict action will be taken against schools violating the official orders," he said.
District Basic Education Officer (BSA) Virendra Singh said an investigation has been initiated and a clarification will be sought from the school management.
'The recognition status of the school will also be examined," Singh added.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) KK Saroj said Ankit (11) and Anshu (12), residents of Firozabad Narauta village that comes under the Zarifnagar police station limits, died in the accident.
Khushboo (12), also from the same village, was seriously injured and referred to the district hospital in Budaun after initial treatment at the Sahaswan community health centre (CHC), police said.
'The three children were on their way to Nahar Singh Inter College in Nagla Choi village when they were struck by an unknown vehicle near Silhari. The two siblings died on the spot and the third student was critically injured," ASP Saroj said, adding that legal proceedings, including post-mortem, are underway. PTI COR ABN ABN SKY SKY

Bangladeshi Model Arrested In Kolkata, Fake Aadhaar, Ration Cards Recovered
Kolkata: A Bangladeshi woman was arrested this week in Kolkata for residing in India using fake documents. Shanta Paul was working as a crew member of an airline company and was also a small-time model, the police said after arresting her with fake Indian documents on Tuesday. She entered India in 2023 from Bangladesh's Barisal using a valid passport, and then rented a flat in Kolkata through a property dealer. Paul allegedly told the owner she wanted to live separately as her family wasn't happy with her marrying a Muslim man. To sign the rent agreement, she gave fake Indian documents like the Aadhaar card, PAN card, and the voter ID. According to her fake documents, accessed by NDTV, she was born in 1998. She also married Shaik Mohammad Ashraf, a resident of Andhra Pradesh, on June 5, according to her marriage certificate accessed by NDTV. Her marriage was registered in the bordering district of Nadia. "The duo rented an apartment in Park Street and later moved to Golf Green, where they began living together. Shanta reportedly kept Ashraf's passport in her possession. With the help of a local agent, she allegedly forged multiple Indian identity documents, including a ration card, an Aadhaar card, a voter ID, and a PAN card," the news agency PTI quoted a police officer as saying. Paul also allegedly used fake Indian documents to jointly rent properties in Kolkata with Ashraf, who works in the merchant navy, the officer said. She represented Bangladesh in the Indo-Bangla Beauty Pageant in 2016 and went on to become Miss Asia Global in 2019. In the last two years, she acted in Tamil and Bengali films, and even signed an Odia film, the officer said. "Following her success in modelling, she began her acting career before eventually joining a Bangladeshi airline," he added. She is currently in police custody till August 8.

Meghalaya govt orders probe into misappropriation of 4,000 MT coal
Shillong, Aug 2 (PTI) The Meghalaya government has ordered an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of over 4,000 metric tonnes (MT) of coal in the state, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said on Saturday. Tynsong, who also holds the Home portfolio, said that instructions have been issued to the district authorities and the police to conduct a thorough inquiry into the matter. 'We have asked deputy commissioners and superintendents of police to investigate if there has been any misappropriation or illegal diversion of coal," the deputy chief minister told PTI. The directive comes close on the heels of a revelation by a High Court-appointed committee that over 4,000 metric tonnes of coal, already declared as extracted and inventoried, have vanished from two designated storage sites. The committee, in its latest report to the Meghalaya High Court, said the disappearance raises serious questions about the state's mechanism for monitoring coal stock and preventing illegal transportation. Tynsong said the government will take action if any wrongdoing is established. 'If there is anything wrong, we will proceed according to the law. Even if it requires us to approach the Supreme Court, we will do so," he added. The state's probe will focus on tracing both diesel and coal inventories, including movement, documentation, and field verification. A comprehensive report will be prepared and shared with the court in due course, an official said. PTI JOP BDC view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
