Man Accused Of UP Daylight Murder Snatched Cop's Gun, Shot In Leg

In retaliatory firing, the accused sustained a bullet injury in his leg, police said.

Jalaun, UP:

A man arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old college student here on Monday sustained a bullet injury in police's retaliatory firing after he snatched an inspector's pistol and opened fire, police said.

Raj Ahirwar alias Aatish and Rohit alias Govinda allegedly shot dead Roshni (21), a second-year BA student, at Kotra crossing on Monday when she was returning home after appearing in an examination at Ram Lakhan Patel college here, they said.

Superintendent of Police Iraj Raja said the student had gone to the college for an exam. At around 11.30 am while she was on her way back, motorcycle-borne men shot her in the head and fled.

The woman's parents lodged a complaint against Raj Ahirwar, based on which a case was registered against him and he was arrested, police said.

After killing the woman, Ahirwar had hidden the number plate of his motorcycle under Pachokhar culvert and threw his clothes in the Betwa river to hide his identity, the police said in a statement.

When a police team took Ahirwar to the culvert, he snatched the pistol of an inspector and fired at policemen, they said.

In retaliatory firing, the accused sustained a bullet injury in his leg and was taken to a hospital, police said.

Another accused Rohit alias Govind, who is a cousin of Ahirwar, is missing, they said, adding efforts are on to nab him.

About the motive behind the killing, police said Ahirwar and the woman were in touch for the past one year.

As they were of the same caste, their family members agreed to marry them but two months ago, the woman stopped talking to him due to which the accused was upset, they said.

As the woman refused to meet him, he killed her, police said.

North Korea Says It Tested New Strategic Cruise Missile

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
