Bodies of school owner, principal found buried in Agra school premises, 4 held
Agra, July 1: In a shocking incident on Monday, bodies of a 50-year-old school owner and 45-year-old school principal were found buried inside a school premises in Kaulakha area in Agra's Tajganj police circle.
Surender Lavania, a resident of Om Vihar, owned Sainik Bharti Inter College and Dr B.R. Ambedkar School in the city limits.
The other victim, identified as Vijay Kumar Jha, was a resident of Indirapuram and was the principal of Sainik Bharti Inter College.
The two had been missing since Friday morning, with their phones switched off after they left home around 10 a.m.
On Sunday, the police recovered the two bodies from Dr B.R. Ambedkar School premises and sent them for autopsy.
According to the police, four men identified as Dheeraj, his two brothers Sandeep and Neeraj, and their friend Vijay Singh have been accused of the murder of Lavania and Jha.
All the four men have been booked under IPC Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender).
Station House Officer of Tajganj, Anuj Kumar said, "Dheeraj was running Lavania's Dr B.R. Ambedkar School on rent for the past several years. He failed to pay rent in the past two years and owed Lavania some money. On Friday morning, when Jha, went to Ambedkar School to collect the pending rent from Dheeraj, the two engaged in a heated argument, after which Dheeraj, along with Sandeep and Vijay Singh, allegedly strangled Jha to death."
As the accused were making arrangements to dispose of Jha's body, Lavania came to meet Dheeraj at Ambedkar School and asked for Jha's whereabouts since his motorbike was parked inside the school premises.
Dheeraj lied to Lavania and claimed that Jha had left a moment ago. However, when Lavania called on his number, the phone which was in Dheeraj's pocket, began to ring.
Later, Lavania spotted Jha's body which was kept hidden behind the curtain of Dheeraj's office. By the time, he could alert anyone about the murder, Dheeraj and his brother Sandeep and friend Vijay Singh strangled Lavania to death too. They buried the two corpses inside the school premises.
SSP Agra Jogendra Kumar said: "The dual murder case was solved within 12 hours of first information received by local police. The team has been rewarded with Rs 25,000 cash."

What is Iran’s 10-point plan? Key demands ahead of US talks in Islamabad
Tehran/Islamabad: Iran has outlined a 10-point plan as the basis for upcoming talks with the United States, expected to begin in Islamabad on April 11, according to a statement from the Iranian Supreme National Security Council.
The plan lays out Tehran’s key political, military and economic demands, and is being seen as a framework for negotiations following the recent escalation in the region.
Strait of Hormuz at the centre
A major focus of the plan is the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Iran has proposed “controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces,” which it says would give the country a unique economic and geopolitical position.
The plan also calls for the “establishment of a safe transit protocol” in the Strait that would guarantee Iran’s dominance under an agreed mechanism.
Call to end conflict
Iran has demanded “the necessity of ending the war against all elements of the axis of resistance,” signalling its expectation that hostilities should stop not only in Iran but also involving allied groups in the region.
US troop withdrawal
Another key demand is the “withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region,” indicating Tehran’s long-standing position against American military presence in West Asia.
Sanctions relief and compensation
The plan places strong emphasis on economic measures. It calls for “full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates,” along with “the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council.”
It also seeks “the release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad,” which have been a major point of contention for years.
Binding global guarantee
Finally, Iran has demanded that all these terms be formally recognised through “a binding Security Council resolution,” suggesting it wants international legal backing to ensure enforcement.
What this means
The 10-point plan reflects Iran’s broader push for security guarantees, economic relief and regional influence. The upcoming talks in Islamabad are expected to test how far both sides are willing to negotiate on these demands.
