Dehradun defence coaching institute accused of making student do 400 sit-ups for ‘talking in class'
An 18-year-old was allegedly made to do 400 sit-ups at a Dehradun-based coaching institute for 'talking in the class'. According to the police, an FIR has been registered against the institute's mathematics teacher, Jai Singh, who made the student do 400 sit-ups on July 4. The student, a Meghalaya native, was preparing for defence entrance exams at the centre. In an FIR on the back of a complaint by the students' parents on July 14, it is claimed that the boy was unable to walk due to severe pain and swelling in his legs. The complaint, addressed to Laban police station in Shillong on July 14, was registered as an FIR at Vasant Vihar police station in Dehradun on July 21. 'Battling with pain, he somehow managed to attend the classes on July 7 and 8, but started experiencing tremendous pain, cramps, and spasms and had to be taken to an orthopaedic surgeon by his PG owner. Our son refrained from informing us initially to avoid giving us pain and anxiety, until his condition worsened and he had to be taken to the doctor for treatment,' the complaint said. They had emailed twice to demand action against the faculty member, the FIR said. 'They acknowledged that the said incident occurred in the institution and that they have been made aware that one of their teachers behaved unacceptably towards our child, resulting in physical harm and further assured that strict action would be taken against the said person,' the complaint said, adding that as no action was taken against him. 'My son has since then missed all his classes and has been suffering physically, mentally and emotionally. The incident has traumatised us and has caused much distress to us,' it said. The complainant goes on to state that the victim was asked to go to the institute for verification of documents, the complaint alleges. 'It is not clear what verification they were talking about since all formalities were already completed in April during the time of his admission. They also issued a message to my son asking him to resume his classes from tomorrow (July 15) since he had not informed them of his absence in advance despite knowing his condition,' it said. Pradeep Singh Rawat, the in-charge of the police station, said that after the FIR was registered in Meghalaya, it was transferred to Dehradun under section 117(2) BNS. 'We have started the probe and examined the crime scene, the classroom. The victim's and his father's statements have been recorded. The allegations are true prima facie,' he said.

Danny Dyer impersonators don their finest tracksuits as they take part in lookalike competition with the seal of approval from the man himself - but do YOU think they picked the right winner?
A host of tracksuit clad, bearded blokes flocked to London on Wednesday all vying for the same prize - to be crowned Danny Dyer 's best lookalike. The event was announced by the actor's Mr. Bigstuff co-stars Ryan Sampson and Harriet Webb on the weekend, who asked the country: 'Britain, do you look like Danny Dyer? Do you smoke a lot of fags?' And it seems a fair few 'stubbly blokes', as Ryan described them, thought they fit the bill, with Shoreditch's Hoxton Square full with Danny doppelgangers clad in their best Sergio Tacchini jackets for the competition. One of whom was the former EastEnders star's official lookalike, who is actually signed to an agency thanks to his striking resemblance to the man himself. Rocking Danny's brown beard and slicked back hair, the similarities between him and the actor, now 47, were nothing short of uncanny. But perhaps surprisingly, he was pipped to the prize by another contender. The day's winner was jubilant after being crowned the 'Best Danny', and was pictured celebrating in front of the crowds who turned up for the occasion. Despite looking perhaps less like Danny in the face than his most fierce competition, he was likely victorious for his outfit, with the winner sporting a white and maroon Sergio Tacchini jacket akin to those rocked by the iconic Brit in his 2005 movie The Business. With a crown perched on his head and a ribbon tied around his torso, the day's victor posed for a photo alongside judges Ryan and Harriet and, of course, a cut out of Danny Dyer himself. He beat off competition from more than ten potential lookalikes sporting Fila jackets, sunglasses and almost all with their hair jelled and slickly combed back just like the East London icon, who sadly was not present. This competition had the seal of approval from Danny himself, who took to Instagram to repost a video of a fan claiming they'd be taking the day off work to attend the event. As Ryan and Harriet referenced in their promotion of Wednesday's event, the Danny lookalike competition comes after a growing global trend of celebrity doppelganger contests. An army of budding Harry Styles doubles descended upon on the English capital late last year for instance for a head-to-head. Judged by a mix of notable names and One Direction super fans, competitors were encouraged to dress up in bold outfits inspired by the singer's famously flamboyant wardrobe. One of those in attendance was the former EastEnders actor's official lookalike (pictured), who is signed by an agency as a Danny Dyer lookalike With a crown perched on his head and a ribbon tied around his torso, he posed for a photo alongside judges Ryan and Harriet and, of course, a cut out of Danny himself The panel of judges included Ryan Lanji, a party planner known for his work on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, and the author of The Book of Harry, Bonnie McLaren. Prizes ranged from £50 for the winner and a selection of hair products for the victor in the 'best hair' category to a six-pack of organic wine for the 'best style'. And even the entrant unfortunate enough to be ranked as the worst Styles lookalike did not leave the event empty-handed, as they claimed a four-pack of cheap beer. Eventually Oscar Jorneaux won the contest, a 22-year-old musician who admitted he entered for 'publicity'. Just weeks earlier New York hosted a similar Timothee Chalamet competition, with fans left in a frenzy when the actor and boyfriend of Kylie Jenner arrived unannounced. Flanked by bodyguards, the actor posed for photographs with his curly-haired doppelgangers - some of whom had dressed as his characters, including Willy Wonka and Dune protagonist Paul Atreides. So impressive were the day's competitors that some fans heaped their attention onto them, mistaking them for Timothee himself. Noah Wildie, 23, told it was 'insane' when the actor arrived, as hundreds of fans passionately screaming.

SUV driver who hit and killed two-year-old girl at family holiday park may not have been able to see her, coroner rules
An SUV driver who tragically hit and killed a two-year-old at a holiday park may not have been able to see her, a coroner has ruled. Isabella Tucker died from her injuries after being hit by the car at Horsley Hale Farm in Littleport, Norfolk in November 2023. The toddler, from Shadwell, London, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Norfolk but later died of her injuries. An inquest heard how the toddler sustained fatal injuries after the vehicle 'drove forward at low speed on a grass field' and made contact with the 'front nearside' of the SUV. Investigators determined there were no defects with the vehicle and the collision, which left the driver uninjured, had occurred during daylight hours, with good visibility and favourable weather conditions. But area coroner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Elizabeth Gray said forensic examination had established that the two-year-old may not have been visible to the driver. She added: 'The police investigation was unable to establish the precise movements of Miss Tucker immediately prior to the collision. 'It appears that she was in close proximity to the front near side of the Mazda when the driver moved off.' The coroner recorded a cause of death of multiple traumatic head injuries as the result of a road traffic collision. Following the tragedy, bereaved mother Vaiida Sprainyte said: 'A beautiful daughter and little sister. 'You stole my breath, you stole my heart. 'You're part of me my little daughter. It's so easy to love you. Loved you from first sight and will love you forever.' Horsley Hale Farm is a popular glamping spot which Isabella and her family were visiting from London Speaking to MailOnline at the time, the owner of the site Stuart Hatton said that staff had been left heartbroken by the death and that they were planning to plant a tree in Isabella's honour A 42-year-old woman from Leeds had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but was released on bail.
