Haryana Teens Drive Recklessly, Nearly Kill Two In Shocking Daylight Incident
The shocking incident raised a question mark on parents as two kids nearly caused fatal damage to local residents by driving and racing a Hyundai Venue car.
A bizarre incident in Haryana saw children causing havoc by driving a Hyundai Venue car through a village. Residents were left stunned as these teens entered the big vehicle and started driving it, losing complete control of the car and nearly smashing it into two locals, including a kid, who somehow survived. The vehicle destroyed the two-wheelers parked nearby before people in the neighbourhood came out, shocked by what had happened.
The incident that took place on July 16 was caught on CCTV and posted on Instagram, where these notorious kids started driving and racing the Hyundai car. At the beginning of the clip, one can see a resident trying to pass the gully on his bike before being forced to pause and somehow save his life by evading the uncontrolled vehicle. Later on, a child also managed to escape by milliseconds, as he jumped into an open door, while the car shattered the two-wheelers parked.

From another angle of the footage, it is visible that the car kept racing through since the children inside had no idea how to apply the brakes. A pair of kids on the other side of the gully ran to save their lives, before the Hyundai finally stopped after jamming into a bike parked adjacent to a house. The locals came rushing by to check what had transpired, and much to everyone's disbelief, the car had two kids inside.
One of them opened the door and started crying, as he was presumably hurt. He went straight to his mother, who was there and hugged the little one anxiously, knowing a lot worse could've happened. The other kid also came out safe and was checked by the locals before he ran to check his sobbing friend.
Fortunately, no one was hurt. But the incident raised a few critical questions: how did these kids enter the car and start driving it unperturbed by the consequences? And what were their parents doing, completely unaware of what the kids were up to? How could they be so careless? While kids at their age had no idea of what they were getting into, the incident emerged as a genuine parenting failure.

Punjab Police opens cyber kiosk for malware analysis in Mohali
Chandigarh, Jul 21 (PTI) In a step towards enhancing cybersecurity, Punjab Police on Monday inaugurated a cyber kiosk for malware analysis of mobile devices at the state cybercrime office in Mohali. The self-service kiosk is designed to scan and sanitise Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as USB drives and external storage, from malicious, banned, or unsafe applications and files. Inaugurating the cyber kiosk, Special DSP (cybercrime) V Neeraja said, 'This is a public initiative for the citizens which has been set up at four places — in Mohali and CP (commissioner of police) offices in Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar. Similar cyber kiosks will be set up in other districts as well." Addressing representatives from public welfare and industry associations, Neeraja emphasised that the kiosk provides a quick, secure and free 24×7 service, with each scan taking just 2-5 minutes. 'There is no risk of data leakage – citizens can safely check their devices for malware and remove threats instantly," she said. The officer also urged people to remain vigilant against cybercrimes and stressed the importance of immediate reporting via the cybercrime helpline – 1930 – or the 'Cyber-Mittar' chatbot on the portal Jashandeep Singh Gill, SP (cybercrime), said the kiosk identifies IMEI details, SIM information and performs quick and deep scans of applications and internal storage. 'Users can uninstall infected apps, delete harmful files, and generate scan reports instantly. The report can be sent to the user's email or stored on a USB device. The system is user-friendly, secure, and operates through a touch screen interface," he said. An official statement said that developed by the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in collaboration with Arishti Info Labs, the kiosk brings malware analysis directly to the public domain without the need for advanced technical skills. The cyber kiosk in Mohali has been set up in collaboration with real estate company Omaxe as part of its corporate social responsibility facility, it said.

IIT Kharagpur forms fact-finding panel after BTech student's death
Kolkata, Jul 21 (PTI) A senior IIT-Kharagpur official on Monday said a 10-member fact-finding team has been formed by the premier institute to explore the circumstances and factors which led to the death of fourth-year BTech student Ritam Mondal who was found hanging in his hostel room on July 18. Institute director Suman Chakraborty, who recently took charge, said the panel would explore academic, social and psychological factors and is expected to submit its recommendations soon. While police are conducting a probe on its part, the institute has constituted a 10-member fact-finding committee internally, Chakraborty told PTI. 'He is our own child. We are saddened by his death. IIT Kharagpur does not exert pressure on students in a way that they feel stressed. We need to find out why such an incident happened," he added. Chakraborty had met the father of the deceased and interacted with him for about an hour after the grief-stricken parent arrived at the campus on hearing the news of his son's death. Mondal, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student, had returned to campus on July 15, a day after the convocation, following a two-month vacation. His roommate had not yet returned to the hostel. 'We have to think if there are social factors involved in such incidents," he said. 'If someone comes to the help of such pupils during moments of extreme mental stress, certainly such situations can be averted," he reasoned. The committee will come up with certain recommendations by this month, he added. Mondal was found hanging in his room at Rajendra Prasad (RP) Hall hostel on July 18, the fourth unnatural death case on the campus since January. 'There were no recorded indicators of mental health concerns in the records of the SARTH Counselling Centre. Additionally, the departmental faculty advisor reported no apparent academic or personal issues," the institute noted. On January 12, Shaon Malik, a third-year electrical engineering student, died by suicide. On April 20, Aniket Walker, a final-year Ocean Engineering student from Maharashtra, was found hanging in JC Bose Hall. On May 4, Mohammad Asif Qamar, a third-year BTech student from Bihar, was found dead in his room at Madan Mohan Malviya Hall. Apart from installing bar codes on the gates of every hostel room where the helpline number of counselling services can be scanned by a student in emotional stress at any hour, the institute recently launched a 'Campus Mothers' programme, where women faculty and staff members serve as emotional mentors for students.

Gujarat govt employee held by ACB for accepting bribe on GPay
Ahmedabad, Jul 21 (PTI) A Gujarat government employee was arrested on Monday for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 1500 and accepting it via digital payment app GPay, an Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) official said. Jaydip Chavda sent a QR code of his GPay application to the complainant and asked him to deposit Rs 1500 by scanning the code instead of coming in person with cash, ACB inspector RR Solanki said. Chavda, a Class-3 employee, works as village panchayat secretary or 'talati-cum-mantri' at Parab Vavdi village in Bhesan taluka in Junagadh, an ACB release said. 'The brother of the complainant had registered his marriage at Parab Vavdi recently. To avail financial assistance under a government scheme, he was required to submit a memorandum regarding his marriage. When he urged Chavda to issue the memorandum, he sought Rs 1500 as bribe," it said. 'The accused sent a QR code of his GPay mobile app to the complainant's brother and asked him to send the money by scanning it. After getting a complaint, Solanki and his team from Rajkot ACB unit laid a trap at Chavda's office on Monday and arrested him as soon as he received the bribe money on his payment application," the release said.
