Patna: A police team from Danapur and Kotwali stations was attacked by locals during an investigation in Kamla Nehru Nagar under Kotwali police station area in Patna on Wednesday. The police personnel had gone to probe a missing person case when tensions escalated. Riya Paswan, popularly known as 'Pad Girl' and previously seen with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his visit to Bihar, alleged that the police assaulted her and her family. She claimed that around 2am on Wednesday, a team of eight officers, including a woman officer, entered her house without warning. Speaking to mediapersons, Riya accused the police of forcibly entering her house, assaulting family members, and damaging property. "They beat up pregnant women. My clothes were torn, I was assaulted, and my brother was dragged out of the house," she said. However, the police denied the charges. DSP (law and order) Krishna Murari Prasad said that the Danapur police had received a lead in a missing person case and proceeded to Kamla Nehru Nagar, a slum area, for investigation. "The residents initially refused to open the gate and later attacked the police team, obstructing the investigation," the DSP said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He confirmed that an FIR was filed based on a written complaint from a Danapur officer against those who allegedly misbehaved with the police.

In a world where education must prepare students not just for exams but for impact, the NAE Student Summit 2025 stood as a beacon of global citizenship, youth-led change, and purposeful learning. Held at The Village School in Houston, the summit brought together over 160 students from Nord Anglia Education schools worldwide, including a passionate delegation from Oakridge International School, Bachupally.

They also learned about Nord Anglia's Social Impact Grants, which have supported student-led initiatives with over $735,000 since 2021. On the second day, guided by UNICEF, students and educators-including Ms. Sonia from Oakridge Bengaluru-engaged deeply with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), connecting global frameworks to real-world case studies to inspire meaningful action. Service in Action: Houston Food Bank Visit In a powerful act of service, Oakridge students joined peers to sort 6,541 kg of food donations, providing 12,020 meals to families in need. 'It was humbling to see how small actions can create big change,' shared Siddhi, Grade 11. Later for two days students visited the Houston Museum of Natural Science to explore the evolution of energy and the importance of renewable solutions. Later, Oakridge students took the stage during Peer Talks to share their insights. Day 4 focused on advocacy, where students practiced speaking up for change and navigating tough conversations, while teachers participated in a UNICEF emergency aid simulation to better understand humanitarian response efforts. Riya presented SuvriddhiOS, a platform promoting sustainable development in urban communities. Samyuktha shared HealthMirror, a student-led initiative improving health awareness among underserved populations. Their stories sparked conversations on compassion, innovation, and youth-led impact.

This summit reaffirmed our belief that international education is not just about global exposure – it's about global responsibility,' said Ms. Anuradha, Principal of Oakridge Bachupally. 'One thing that I fondly remember from this trip is our time spent volunteering at the Houston food bank. To see people get into action without having to tell them what to do, to see us all identify and take care of problems in the matter of seconds and just not hesitating to get the job done no matter the circumstances was something that warms my heart as I think about it even now. That is the type of ideology and experience that I want social impact to be centred around' – Siddhi from grade eleven k. 'Attending the NAE Summit 2025 @ Houston, Texas as a Regional Lead was an incredibly enriching experience. One of the highlights for me was delivering a Chaperone Peer Talk on 'Championing Social Impact in Schools: A Journey from Vision to Action.' It was a proud moment to share our region's progress and inspire others through our stories of student-led change. The summit itself was a powerful blend of learning, collaboration, and action' – Fiona Chettiar Regional Representative Social Impact Program-India & CAS Coordinator- Oakridge Bachupally.
