Uttar Pradesh : Expelled class 10 student shoots principal
BIJNOR: A class X student of a private inter college allegedly shot at his school principal with a country-made weapon on Wednesday after he was expelled from the school due to his violent behaviour with other students. The principal received bullet injuries on his left shoulder, and was admitted to a district hospital for treatment. A case has been registered against the accused but he is at large.
According to police, the student - Deepanshu Kumar (17) of Narawali village under Syohara police station area - took admission in Shri Sai Inter College of Rooppur 15 days ago. Earlier, he was a student of Priyanka school. Deepanshu is a notorious student and often quarrels with other students. He appeared for the class X board examination last year, which he failed to clear.
After he was rusticated by the Priyanka school management, he took admission in Shri Sai Inter College. Soon after joining, Deepanshu got involved in a brawl with his classmates and thrashed a student on August 25. On learning about the episode, the principal Sanjeev Kumar consulted the college management and expelled Deepanshu from the school.
On Wednesday around 11am, Deepanshu, along with his mother, reached the institute to speak to the principal over the incident. The principal, however, refused to change his mind and denied taking him back because of his violent behaviour. Deepanshu returned home and after dropping his mother, went back to his institute with a country-made pistol and shot at the Kumar. The principal received bullet injuries on his shoulder and collapsed. Deepanshu fled from the spot with the weapon and is still at large.
School staff informed the cops about the incident, who took the principal to the district hospital. His condition is stated to be stable now. There was panic among students and school staff after the incident.
According to the principal, “Deepanshu has violent behaviour. He had thrashed some students after we had taken his admission here. I had warned him several times but my warning and advice had no fallen on his deaf ear. He was not agree to change his behaviour. And he was spoiling peaceful and disciplined atmosphere of the school. After consulting with management, I had expelled him and informed his family members. He had come with his mother on Wednesday. But we refused his mother not to change my decision. This enraged him. He left school around 11:15am and again returned alone and aimed gun at me and opened fire. Fortunately, I dodged and escaped. However, I received bullet injuries on my shoulder.”
Kumar further stated, “I have filed a complaint against the boy for attempting to kill me.”
Giving more details, Syohara station house officer, Arihant Kumar Sidharth, said, “Police have registered a case against the accused under section 307 of IPC and he is at large. He will be arrested soon. The student Deepanshu was expelled from the school after which he shot at principal. The mother of accused is a govt teacher by profession.”

Two injuries, one DNF, a DQ as India end messy World Relays campaign
Gaborone (Botswana) (PTI): Amoj Jacob and Ragul Kumar got injured during the men's 4x400m and 4x100 races respectively as India ended their World Athletics Relays campaign in disappointment on the second day of competitions here on Sunday.
The Indian camp had high hopes of making the 2027 World Championships in the men's 4x400m relay but the team did not finish (DNF) the race as Jacob suffered cramps and pulled out of the race after taking the baton from the first leg runner Dharamveer Choudhary. Rajesh Ramesh and Vishal TK were to run in the third and fourth legs.
Those teams which could not qualify for the 2027 Beijing World Championships by reaching the final round of each of the six relay events on Saturday were given another chance in the second qualification round on Sunday.
The top two teams in each of the two heats (in all six relay events) booked the Beijing ticket on Sunday.
India will now have to try and qualify for the World Championships through the Top Lists of the World Athletics, which is a long and tedious process.
In the men's 4x100m race, third leg runner Ragul Kumar fell down the track after failing to hand over the baton inside the exchange zone to fourth leg runner Gurindervir Singh, which clearly showed the lack of coordination among the runners.
Harsh Santosh Raut and Animesh Kujur ran the first two legs.
The Indian quartet was disqualified and Kumar was seen being taken away from the Field of Play with the help of the volunteers.
It was a comedy of errors in the case of the women's 4x100m race, which saw the baton being dropped during an exchange between first leg runner Tamanna and second runner Nithya Gandhe, though the Indians finished the race in 53.09 seconds.
Gandhe started running quite a distance, but after realising that the baton was not in her hand, she turned and ran back to pick it up.
The only silver-lining for the Indian contingent was the national record time in the mixed 4x100m relay race, though the quartet of Ragul Kumar, Nithya Gandhe, Animesh Kujur and Sneha SS finished sixth in heat number two with a time of 41.35 seconds, bettering the previous national mark of 42.30 seconds set in March in Chandigarh.
The mixed 4x400m relay quartet of Theerthesh P Shetty, Kumari Saloni, Nihal William and Rashdeep Kaur ended at fifth in heat number one with a time of 3 minutes and 19.40 seconds.
On Saturday, all the five Indian relay teams had failed to make it to the respective final rounds and thus missed out on the 2027 World Championships berths.
