The incident went viral, leaving the mall in panic and confusion.
</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;What was supposed to be an ordinary shopping day at City Kart Mall in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, took a wild turn when an unexpected visitor—a mischievous monkey—wreaked havoc inside the mall. A viral video capturing the chaotic scenes has left social media buzzing, with many reacting to the bizarre incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Targeting Shoppers and Display Racks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The commotion began when the monkey wandered into the bustling shopping mall, quickly making its way to the main floor. Shoppers were left in disbelief as the primate leaped onto displays and even targeted a young woman in the crowd. The monkey perched on her head, tugged at her clothes, and even swiped one of her shoes, sending the woman into a panic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Its bit me!&amp;#8221; the terrified woman screamed as she struggled to free herself from the monkey&amp;#8217;s grip. Despite her frantic attempts to shake it off, the agile animal clung to her, pulling at her hair, before eventually jumping onto nearby clothing racks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bystanders Struggle to Handle the Intruder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amid the chaos, &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/united-states/why-is-black-friday-so-significant-for-shoppers-and-retailers-in-us/&quot;&gt;shoppers&lt;/a&gt; tried to help but were left powerless as the monkey darted across the store. Some attempted to lure it with bananas, while others tossed blankets in hopes of trapping the creature. However, the clever monkey outwitted all efforts, evading capture and continuing its antics around the mall.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The usual calm of the shopping hub quickly turned into pure mayhem as shoppers scrambled to avoid the primate, while others remained behind to record the commotion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mixed Reactions from Online Viewers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video of the monkey&amp;#8217;s unexpected spree inside the mall soon went viral, with viewers across social media sharing their reactions. Some found the situation hilarious, laughing at the monkey&amp;#8217;s parkour-like agility, while others expressed concern for the woman who had been harassed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the video continued to spread, questions arose about how the monkey managed to gain entry into the mall without detection. Mall authorities have yet to comment on the incident, leaving shoppers and online users speculating about how the primate made its way in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What was meant to be a simple shopping experience quickly turned into an unforgettable event for those present. The viral video now serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of such incidents, sparking conversations online about both the monkey’s wild escapade and the mall&amp;#8217;s lack of preparedness.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;A newlywed bride in Uttar Pradesh&amp;#8217;s Saharanpur left her husband and in-laws stunned on their wedding night by making unexpected demands. During the traditional &amp;#8216;Muh Dikhai&amp;#8217; ceremony, the bride reportedly asked her husband for a beer, marijuana, and goat meat. While the husband initially agreed to fulfil her request for a beer, her additional demands alarmed the family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The situation escalated when the groom informed his family about the bride&amp;#8217;s requests, leading to a heated discussion. Unable to reconcile with the bride’s demands for intoxicants and meat, the family decided to seek help from the local police.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matter Reaches Police Station&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the police station, both families were counselled by authorities. Although no formal complaint was filed, tensions ran high during the discussions. In a dramatic twist, the groom&amp;#8217;s family accused the bride of not being biologically female, alleging she belonged to the third gender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the serious accusations, both parties agreed to resolve the issue privately and left the police station with plans to address the matter within their families.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unfolding Questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This bizarre incident has sparked conversations about unexpected cultural dynamics and individual differences within arranged &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/keerthy-suresh-marries-anthony-tattil-in-goa-shares-wedding-pics-with-thalapathy-vijay/&quot;&gt;marriages&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The weapons appear to be hundreds of years old, though the timeline remains unconfirmed. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has yet to inspect the recovered items to determine their exact age and historical context. Local authorities have initiated investigations into the discovery, which could provide valuable insights into the region&amp;#8217;s past. Until the ASI&amp;#8217;s examination, the true origins and purpose of these ancient weapons remain a mystery, leaving both historians and the public eagerly awaiting more details.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A seven-day-old newborn, abandoned by his parents and thrown from a bridge in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, was found clinging to life with severe injuries, including a large animal bite. The infant, later named Krishna after being discovered on Janmashtami on August 26, was stuck on a tree near Rath and was rescued by locals, who rushed him to a hospital in Kanpur. His condition was critical, with over 50 wounds across his body, leading doctors to doubt his survival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nurses and doctors became deeply attached to Krishna &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Krishna was treated at Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, also known as Hallett Hospital, where medical staff worked tirelessly to nurse him back to health. According to Dr. Sanjay Kala, the hospital’s principal, Krishna’s wounds were consistent with bites from animals, possibly crows or other creatures, alongside injuries from the fall. Nurses and doctors became deeply attached to the child during his two-month recovery, finding it heartbreaking to see him suffer. Unable to hold him due to his injuries, the nurses sang lullabies to comfort him from a distance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;On October 24, Krishna was handed over to local authorities and the child welfare committee, fully healed. His caregivers, deeply moved by his resilience, expressed sorrow and disbelief over the circumstances of his abandonment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When he was leaving the hospital, all the staff members had tears in their eyes because they felt very attached to him, almost as if he was their child,&amp;#8221; said Dr Kala.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When we were so attached to him in two months, I wonder how his parents could throw him off a bridge. Even if they did not want him, they could leave him at a hospital or in front of a temple or mosque. That way, he would have at least not got hurt or bitten by animals,&amp;#8221; he added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When he got better 10-15 days after he was admitted, we felt like taking him in our arms, but the wounds did not allow it. When we finally could do that, he had to leave the hospital. We are happy he has fully recovered and we hope he has a good life.&amp;#8221; said Lakshmi, a nurse from the neo-natal ICU of the hospital&lt;/p&gt;

A recent incident in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, highlights the lengths to which individuals will go to capture attention online. The viral footage, originating from the Jafarganj Mandi area within the Jagdishpur police station jurisdiction, shows a man perilously perched 20 feet high on a highway signboard, waving a flag. Shockingly, bystanders gathered below are seen recording the stunt instead of intervening to stop him.&lt;/p&gt;

This isn’t the first time Amethi has witnessed such bizarre antics. In a previous incident, a man was filmed doing &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/watch-shirtless-man-does-pull-ups-on-30-ft-signboard-goes-viral/#google_vignette&quot;&gt;pull-ups on another highway signboard&lt;/a&gt;, which was situated 10 meters above ground. The signboard displayed directions to Munshiganj and Amethi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Police Response&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reckless behavior has caught the attention of local authorities. Amethi Live shared the pull-up video on their X account, stating, “Dangerous players on the roads of Amethi, a young man was seen doing pushups on the kilometre signboard, risking his life.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to the viral videos, the Amethi Police have announced that they are aware of the situation and are conducting an investigation. “The matter is in the knowledge of Amethi Police Station. The viral video is being investigated, and after the investigation, necessary legal action will be taken against the persons doing the stunt as per the rules,” the police stated on X.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the trend of filming daring stunts continues, authorities urge individuals to reconsider the risks involved and prioritize their safety over the fleeting allure of online fame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upon approaching the car, police were taken aback to discover six men engaged in an obscene act with a woman. Initial investigations revealed that the woman was reportedly being paid between ₹5,000 to ₹6,000 per day as part of the illicit operation. The woman, identified as Nisha, was found with the group, and all parties involved were swiftly taken into custody.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tushar Saxena, a journalist from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, was surprised to receive a Rs 1,000 fine from the Noida police for allegedly driving without a helmet. The fine notification came via text message, leaving Saxena baffled as he resides over 200 kilometers away from Noida and does not recall any such incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Misunderstanding Over Helmet Requirement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to NDTV, the fine was issued for a supposed helmet violation, which Saxena finds confusing because helmets are not a standard requirement for car drivers. The challan, issued last November, has since prompted multiple follow-ups from the authorities through emails and additional messages. The Noida police have warned Saxena that failure to pay the fine could result in a court appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saxena, who purchased his white Hyundai in March last year, has expressed disbelief at the fine. &amp;#8220;If you are violating traffic rules, then it is common to receive a fine but that is not my case. I have never driven my car to the NCR area. And if there’s any rule that says we have to wear a helmet inside a car, then the authorities must give this to me in writing,&amp;#8221; Saxena told NDTV.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Previous Incidents of Misplaced Fines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This incident is not an isolated case. In June, Bahadur Singh Parihar, president of the Jhansi Truckers’ Union, received a fine of Rs 1,000 for allegedly driving an Audi without a helmet. The challan incorrectly listed the vehicle as a two-wheeler while referring to it as a &amp;#8220;motor car.&amp;#8221; Parihar chose to wear a helmet while driving to avoid further fines and was advised by RTO officials to wait for a resolution post-Lok Sabha elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A similar mistake occurred in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, in 2017, where a man was fined for not wearing a helmet while driving his Maruti Omni minivan. These incidents highlight an ongoing issue with traffic fines and enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;A shocking incident has come to light at a government school in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. A teacher was caught on camera taking a nap while students fanned her with a handheld fan. The video, which has since gone viral on social media, has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the quality of education being imparted in government schools.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“If teachers themselves behave in such a manner, how can one expect quality education? A female teacher was caught on camera, making innocent children fan her to escape the scorching heat,” reads the caption to the video shared on X (formerly Twitter).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident took place at a government school in Gokulpura village, Dhanipur block. The video shows the teacher comfortably resting on a mat inside the classroom while young students take turns fanning her to provide relief from the scorching heat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video, shared on July 27, has since received more than 11,000 views and close to 200 likes. Many people flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;In a move that has sparked controversy, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to extend a directive across the state that was initially issued by Muzaffarnagar Police. The order mandates that all eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route display their owners&amp;#8217; names, addresses, and mobile phone numbers. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has also confirmed that similar instructions are already in place in Uttarakhand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Muzaffarnagar police stated that this advisory, initially for the duration of the Kanwar Yatra, was aimed at preventing any &amp;#8220;confusion&amp;#8221; and maintaining law and order. However, the directive has drawn heavy criticism from opposition parties, who argue that it unfairly targets Muslim traders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources suggest several prominent eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to assess the impact of the order. At &amp;#8216;Delhi Dhaba&amp;#8217; on the Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar highway, the owner had not only displayed his name but also the names and phone numbers of all employees, all of whom were Hindus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At &amp;#8216;Shiva Tourist Dhaba,&amp;#8217; the owner had gone further by displaying the Aadhaar cards of all employees, again all Hindus. The owner admitted that he had placed four Muslim employees on leave or terminated their employment following instructions from &amp;#8220;the administration and local police,&amp;#8221; although the administration denies issuing such directives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ibrar, the Muslim owner of &amp;#8216;Veer Ji Da Dhaba,&amp;#8217; expressed mixed feelings about the directive. While he acknowledged that it allows customers to make informed choices, he also feared losing business and planned to close his dhaba for a few days due to expected slow business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reactions from Kanwar Yatris varied. Many supported the decision, saying it would help them make informed choices, while others felt it was unnecessary as their devotion took precedence over where they ate. However, there was a consensus among the yatris on the need to address the issue of price exploitation by dhaba owners during the yatra season, as prices of food and water are often inflated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The implementation of this directive and its broader implications continue to stir debate, highlighting the sensitive intersection of religious practices, business, and governance in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;In a striking video from Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, the principal of a medical college, Rajesh Kumar, is seen sitting on a stretcher while four men push it through a flooded street. The area has been heavily inundated due to continuous rain, leading to significant flooding in various parts of the city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rajesh Kumar, dressed in a shirt and trousers and covering his face with a handkerchief, appeared to be avoiding getting his clothes wet. Reports suggest he had arranged for four men to transport him on the stretcher. However, the principal has criticized the video, claiming it misrepresents the situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A video is going viral which shows me being taken out on a stretcher. I condemn this video. Shahjahanpur is flooded. Even our college is flooded. Around 300 patients, working staff members, and others are stuck here. We evacuated all the patients, using ambulances and buses,&amp;#8221; Mr. Kumar stated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He explained that the rising water levels prompted him to seek transportation out of the college. &amp;#8220;I tried if I could get an ambulance to get out. I have a leg injury and am also diabetic, due to which I am unable to walk. I spoke to my working staff members, and they said they would take me out of the medical college on a stretcher,&amp;#8221; Mr. Kumar defended his actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The flooding has also impacted traffic on the Lucknow-Bareilly highway in Shahjahanpur, with a significant portion of the road underwater. State Relief Commissioner Naveen Kumar mentioned that teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) are working with local authorities to address flood-related issues. Additionally, flood relief camps have been established for those affected by the flooding.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;Wedding clashes are increasingly making headlines, with incidents and viral videos depicting families engaged in heated disputes over issues ranging from food shortages to specific grievances like missing chicken in biryani. A recent example from Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, highlights this trend vividly. During a wedding ceremony, tensions escalated dramatically when a shortage of food sparked a violent brawl between the bride&amp;#8217;s and groom&amp;#8217;s families. The altercation quickly intensified, with individuals resorting to using sticks and chairs as weapons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a widely circulated video, several men are seen throwing chairs and engaging in physical confrontations. The food shortage triggered such a severe conflict that numerous attendees sustained minor injuries amidst the chaos of flying furniture and physical altercations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch here:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to ABP News, a dispute erupted during a wedding in Firozabad when the groom&amp;#8217;s family, led by the groom, allegedly demanded additional money from the bride&amp;#8217;s family due to a food shortage. Despite initially providing some money, tensions escalated when the groom&amp;#8217;s family insisted on an additional Rs. 1 lakh, sparking a violent altercation. Both sides resorted to using sticks and rods, as captured in the widely circulated video footage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The situation deteriorated to the extent that the wedding was called off. The bride&amp;#8217;s family decided to take her home without completing the marriage ceremony, marking a tragic conclusion to the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, this incident is not an isolated case. Recently in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, another wedding turned chaotic when guests discovered that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/watch-missing-chicken-drumsticks-in-biryani-spark-fight-at-wedding/&quot;&gt;biryani served lacked chicken leg pieces&lt;/a&gt;. What began with a simple complaint quickly escalated into a chaotic brawl, with viral videos showing guests involved in physical altercations, including kicking, punching, and throwing chairs. Reports suggest that even the groom became involved, escalating tensions further and turning what was meant to be a celebration into chaos as both families clashed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These incidents highlight a troubling trend where the harmony and happiness of weddings are marred by disputes over trivial matters. As these stories gain traction online, they serve as a reminder that weddings should focus on uniting and celebrating two families, rather than fixating on the perfection of the feast.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;A heart-rending story from Siddhpur Kaithauli village in Budaun district of Uttar Pradesh. Moments of merriment of a bride turned into tears of despair as the bridegroom did not turn up along with &amp;#8216;baraat&amp;#8217; over some last-minute demand for additional dowry. The tragic saga unfolded on Tuesday, July 9, when long angst-ridden hours were wiled out by the waiting bride, awaiting the groom amid much fanfare and jubilation. The wedding procession from Rajthal, that was to take place that day, never turned up despite all preparation and gathering of the guests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bride&amp;#8217;s father, Dhanpal, claimed that in the evening they patiently waited for a long time that extended till midnight; however, the groom and his processional never came. Horse-drawn carriage and band were sent to fetch the groom but he never accompanied them. When faced with sulking members of his family and disappointed guests, Dhanpal dialed the authorities and informed the police through emergency services. Next morning, realizing that the groom had left the venue intentionally, the bride and her father visited Bisauli police station to file a formal complaint demanding justice for what they termed an extortion bid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He further said the groom&amp;#8217;s family had agreed to a no-extras wedding, but they turned up on the wedding day demanding an additional Rs 4 lakh over and above the settled amount of Rs 8 lakh. When he expressed his inability to pay that amount, the groom&amp;#8217;s party did not live up to their commitment, leaving the bride and her family in a lurch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident has angered the community, raising many questions on dowry practices despite their legal prohibition. Authorities are investigating the matter; the bride&amp;#8217;s family is keen on seeking justice over what they regard to be a betrayal of trust and solemn promise.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;BJP is contemplating fielding a Muslim candidate for the upcoming bypoll in Moradabad&amp;#8217;s Kundarki assembly seat. This move marks a historic first for the saffron party in Uttar Pradesh, aiming to reestablish its influence in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A senior BJP functionary revealed that discussions are underway with a prominent Muslim leader to contest the seat, left vacant by SP&amp;#8217;s Zia Ur Rehman, who won the Sambhal Lok Sabha constituency. The decision underscores BJP&amp;#8217;s strategic pivot towards inclusive representation ahead of byelections to 10 seats in the state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BJP&amp;#8217;s previous electoral ventures with Muslim candidates include Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi&amp;#8217;s 2019 Lok Sabha ticket and Abdul Salam&amp;#8217;s candidacy in Kerala&amp;#8217;s Malappuram, albeit without success. Naqvi had previously won the Rampur seat in 1998 before losing to Congress&amp;#8217;s Begum Noor Bano in 1999, while Syed Shahnawaz Hussain secured Bihar&amp;#8217;s Kishanganj seat the same year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The state leadership will thoroughly assess all considerations before finalizing the candidate and seeking approval from the central leadership,&amp;#8221; the functionary added, highlighting BJP&amp;#8217;s nuanced approach in Kundarki.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Three siblings from UP, aged three, six, and fourteen, were found safe in Delhi after running away from home following a scolding by their mother. The children, hailing from Maharajganj district, sparked a frantic search and rescue operation by local authorities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to officials, the young trio fled their home in Gujrauliya, Maharajganj, upset over being reprimanded for neglecting their studies. They managed to reach Delhi and sought assistance from a passerby, who helped them contact a young man from their village.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon receiving a complaint from the worried family, Superintendent of Police Somendra Meena swiftly deployed police and SWAT teams. The eldest sister used a borrowed phone to seek aid, which enabled the police to track their whereabouts efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UP Police, in collaboration with authorities in Delhi, located the children in the Najafgarh area. Their safe recovery within four days of their disappearance was attributed to the coordinated efforts of law enforcement teams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recognizing the exemplary work of the recovery team, Superintendent Meena commended their dedication and awarded them Rs 20,000 for their quick action and successful resolution of the case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Confirming the children&amp;#8217;s safe return, Superintendent Meena highlighted the collaborative efforts that led to reuniting them with their family. The incident underscores the challenges and swift response required in handling cases involving vulnerable minors.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;Uttar Pradesh continued to swelter in a heatwave with temperatures soaring above 45 degrees Celsius across most regions on Sunday. The hottest city, Prayagraj, recorded a blistering 47.6 degrees Celsius, significantly higher than the city&amp;#8217;s average. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Lucknow reported dry conditions statewide, with severe heatwave conditions affecting numerous areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the RMC forecast, there is no immediate relief in sight from the intense heat. Jhansi experienced a high of 47.1 degrees Celsius, while Varanasi and Kanpur both reached 46.8 degrees. Agra saw temperatures climb to 46.5 degrees, and Sultanpur recorded 46.4 degrees. Other affected cities include Fatehpur at 46.2 degrees, Fursatganj and Barabanki each at 46 degrees, Orai at 45.8 degrees, and the state capital Lucknow at 45.6 degrees.&lt;/p&gt;

Nuh in Haryana was similarly affected, with temperatures reaching 46.6 degrees Celsius. The heatwave extended to Chandigarh, the shared capital of both states, which saw a maximum temperature of 44.4 degrees Celsius.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ongoing heatwave across these northern states underscores the severity of the current weather conditions.

The Met office emphasizes that the public should remain vigilant as temperatures are expected to remain dangerously high in the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the positive impact of eliminating mafia influence in the state, leading to increased investment in the Purvanchal region and job opportunities for local youth. Speaking at a public meeting in Mohammadabad in support of party candidate Neeraj Shekhar, Adityanath contrasted his administration&amp;#8217;s stance against the mafia with the Samajwadi Party&amp;#8217;s alleged neglect of the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He paid tribute to revolutionaries like Krishna Anand Rai, emphasizing their dedication to the region&amp;#8217;s development despite facing opposition from criminal elements. Adityanath criticized the SP and Congress for failing to address mafia violence during their governance, citing instances of brutality against individuals from backward castes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adityanath expressed pride in upholding the legacy of freedom fighters like Mangal Pandey and Chittu Pandey and stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to fulfilling the aspirations of leaders like Chandrashekhar and Krishna Anand Rai. He highlighted widespread support for PM Modi&amp;#8217;s leadership and criticized the SP for its limited number of contesting seats and dynastic politics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Chief Minister credited developmental initiatives in Azamgarh to MP Nirahua and emphasized the importance of competent leadership in driving progress. He criticized the Congress manifesto&amp;#8217;s proposals, warning against the implementation of personal law and inheritance tax reminiscent of Aurangzeb&amp;#8217;s policies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adityanath asserted India&amp;#8217;s enhanced global stature under PM Modi&amp;#8217;s leadership and emphasized the nation&amp;#8217;s secure borders and successful counterterrorism efforts. He contrasted the current administration&amp;#8217;s focus on welfare with alleged corruption under previous regimes, highlighting the distribution of free rations to millions of people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, Adityanath emphasized the transformative impact of PM Modi&amp;#8217;s governance and reiterated his commitment to upholding India&amp;#8217;s principles and values against regressive policies.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;As the country approaches the final phase of elections, speculation doing that rounds that NDA, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will secure victory. Uttar Pradesh’s role is crucial for NDA to form the government. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s influence is a key factor.&lt;br /&gt;
Experts are optimistic about BJP’s chances, especially after the Ram temple inauguration. However, caste politics poses challenges. Opposition parties claim BJP will lose seats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Challenges emerge due to caste dynamics, potentially impacting BJP’s trajectory. Opposition voices suggest a dip in BJP’s fortunes, prompting questions on Chief Minister Yogi and BJP’s strategies to navigate this turbulence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sensing the caste complexities, BJP has intensified its campaign. From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to all the Union ministers and leaders, they have put all their strength in Uttar Pradesh. BJP got 62 seats in 2019 whereas it got 71 seats in 2014. This was the best performance of BJP. Due to the issue of Hindutva and nationalism, caste politics had become marginalized in Uttar Pradesh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the installation of the idol of Ram in the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22 this year, it was believed that there would be a storm in Ayodhya in the general elections this time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Experts had high expectations for BJP in Uttar Pradesh, foreseeing a potential surpassing of the 2014 record. Various estimates were circulating, with projections ranging from 75 to 77 seats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the election announcement brought a sudden shift in the atmosphere. Some experts believe that the promotion of slogan of crossing 400 went wrong. Amidst discussions about reservation, senior officers internally spread negative publicity. Lower-level messages hinted that surpassing 400 seats would end reservation. BJP and central intelligence agencies initially overlooked this misinformation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Modi clarified later that reservation would not be abolished. Nonetheless, the opposition capitalized on this issue. While caste politics wasn’t initially prominent in Uttar Pradesh, it gained traction in subsequent phases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BJP countered with issues like PoK, Muslim reservation, and law and order. Despite efforts, BJP struggled to maintain a unified front, with PM and CM taking charge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Observing the situation, the opposition united and intensified campaigning efforts. Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi actively participated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The opposition aims to capitalize on BJP’s potential seat restriction in UP. The effectiveness of strategies will be revealed on June 4.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Noida Police have apprehended an individual who stands accused of disseminating a deep fake video featuring Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The video, generated using Artificial Intelligence, surfaced online through an account referred to as &amp;#8216;X,&amp;#8217; attributed to &amp;#8216;Shyam Gupta RPSU.&amp;#8217; Authorities from the Cyber Crime Police Station in Noida reported that the video, uploaded on May 1, propagated misleading information aimed at bolstering anti-national sentiments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following an alert from the Noida Unit of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force, charges were filed under sections 468, 505(2) of the Indian Penal Code, and section 66 of the Information Technology Act at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Noida. The accused, identified as Shyam Gupta from Barola in Noida&amp;#8217;s Gautam Buddha Nagar, will face further legal proceedings under the jurisdiction of the Cyber Crime Police Station in Noida.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This incident occurred shortly after another instance involving a &amp;#8216;doctored&amp;#8217; video allegedly featuring Amit Shah, wherein the Union Home Minister was purportedly heard expressing opposition to reservations in the country. On April 30, the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police issued summonses to 16 individuals across several states in connection with the dissemination of the fabricated video involving Shah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;In a shocking revelation at Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, first-year students allegedly resorted to unconventional tactics to ace their exams, including writing &amp;#8216;Jai Shri Ram&amp;#8217; and the names of cricketers in their answer sheets. However, their actions were met with consequences as two professors were suspended for allegedly extorting money from students in exchange for marks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident came to light when student leader Divyanshu Singh raised concerns in a letter addressed to high-ranking officials, accusing university officials of conniving to pass even those students who had scored zero marks by awarding them more than 60 percent. Irregularities were exposed through an RTI response, revealing significant variations in marks upon re-evaluation of special bank copies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vice-Chancellor Vandana Singh acknowledged the allegations, stating that a committee had been formed to investigate the matter, which confirmed that students had indeed been awarded more marks. Regarding the inclusion of religious slogans in answer sheets, she noted that while she hadn&amp;#8217;t seen the specific copy with &amp;#8216;Jai Shri Ram&amp;#8217; answers, some copies were illegible, making it difficult to justify the marks awarded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the investigation, the Raj Bhavan intervened, directing the university to take action against those involved. As reported by NDTV, &amp;#8216;Jai Shri Ram&amp;#8217; appeared in an answer about &amp;#8216;pharmacy as a career&amp;#8217;, alongside the names of cricketers like Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The examiners responsible for overseeing these irregularities, Dr. Vinay Verma and Manish Gupta, faced suspension during an examination committee meeting. Vice-Chancellor Vandana Singh emphasized that while teachers had been warned against such misconduct, further actions, including termination, would be considered once the model code of conduct is lifted.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;The day following a tragic double homicide that stirred tensions in Budaun, Uttar Pradesh, the brother of the accused appeared in a widely circulated video asserting his innocence. Subsequently, he turned himself in to authorities late last night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sajid, who operated a barber shop near the victims&amp;#8217; residence, perpetrated the brutal murder of two children and injured a third sibling on Tuesday, with the motive still unclear. Attempting to evade capture, he assaulted police officers but was fatally shot in an encounter. Javed, also implicated in the crime, had disappeared after the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a pre-arrest video, he explained fleeing to Delhi upon witnessing an enraged crowd in Budaun. However, upon arriving in Bareilly to surrender, locals apprehended him and handed him over to the authorities. In the video, Javed pleads his innocence, stating he only learned of his brother&amp;#8217;s actions upon receiving calls, emphasizing his desire to cooperate with law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police have verified Javed&amp;#8217;s arrest and are transporting him to Budaun for interrogation. Alok Priyadarshi, the Senior Superintendent of Police in Budaun, confirmed Javed&amp;#8217;s surrender and indicated that he would be questioned upon arrival.&lt;/p&gt;
