One blackboard, two teachers, two languages, and a lot of confusion - these are scenes regularly witnessed at Adarsh Middle School in Bihar's Katihar.
While one teacher teaches Hindi using one half of the blackboard, another teacher simultaneously teaches Urdu. The classroom houses students of classes 1 to 5.
One of the teachers claimed that there are not enough classrooms in the school. To make matters worse, an Urdu primary school was relocated to the premises by the education department in 2017, according to the staff.
Kumari Priyanka, an assistant teacher, said, "In 2017, Urdu Primary School was relocated here. Our school has a shortage of classrooms. But that school has also been provided space, because it was an order. They have been given a room. In the same room, classes 1 to 5 are taught. There are 3 teachers. They divide the blackboard into 2 parts to teach."
She added, "It causes a lot of problems for students. They find it difficult to study and understand. Lack of adequate space for so many children also leads to high rate of absence of students."
Kameshwar PD Gupta, the district education officer, said, "We'll conduct an investigation. We'll have to see why this is happening. We might provide another room."

A 'shivling' has been found inside Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi - this is what some people connected to the mosque-temple case claimed on May 16. The contention was quickly contested by the opposing side.
On May 16, the third and last day of the videographic survey of the mosque, claims emerged that a 'shivling' - an idol linked to Hindu god Shiv - had been found in a pond in the Gyanvapi mosque premises.
The 'shivling' was found when water was drained from the pond for the survey, as per reports. Subsequently, a local court hearing the case ordered that the pond be sealed. The pond is reportedly used for 'wuzu' or purification ritual before namaz by Muslim devotees.
The survey of the mosque was ordered by the court after some women filed a petition, seeking permission to conduct prayers at the Shringar Gauri shrine located at the mosque's wall.
The Gyanvapi mosque is located close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

In an incident almost as though from a movie, a man in MP faked his death to evade arrest. The police nabbed a 34-year-old man, nine months after he faked his death after allegedly stealing Rs 6.65 lakh cash of a trader in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district.
The family of the accused had also performed the last rites of an unidentified body, claiming to be him, but the DNA of the deceased did not match with the man's family members, which revealed the truth.
On July 16 last year, trader Sudhir Agrawal had complained at Bamitha police station that a pick-up vehicle's driver, Sunil Namdeo, delivered some iron rods sent by him at a place in Rajnagar town, collected Rs 6.65 lakh cash from there and then went missing.
On July 24, 2021, an unidentified body was found in Kodahar area under Bamitha police station limits. Namdeo's family members then identified the body as his and even performed the last rites and other post-death rituals.
But, later the DNA test report said the deceased's sample did not match with Namdeo's family members, he said.
While a probe into the case was on, trader Agrawal, while on way to Bageshwar Dham temple, spotted Namdeo on May 3 this year near Gadha Tigadda in MP.
When Agrawal asked for his money, Namdeo allegedly threatened the businessman with dire consequences and told the latter that he was already dead in police records, the official said.
Agrawal subsequently approached the police and lodged a complaint, based on which the police formed a team and arrested Namdeo from Gadha Tigadda area last week, the official said.
The police also seized Rs five lakh from Namdeo's possession, he said.
A case has been registered against him under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, he added.

Amid a fresh fillip to conspiracy theories regarding the Taj Mahal, interesting photographs taken by the Archaeological Survey of India have emerged.
The 17th century Agra monument was recently in news over a court case filed by a BJP leader. The politician wanted 20 "locked" rooms in the Taj Mahal opened to check whether they house idols of Hindu gods.
However, the Allahabad High Court dismissed the petition.
Now, photographs of some of Taj Mahal's underground cells have emerged. These were part of the Archaeological Survey's January 2022 newsletter. They show renovation and restoration of the underground cells.
Here's the caption which accompanied the photos in the ASI newsletter - "The work of maintenance of underground cells on the river side was taken up. Decayed and disintegrated lime plaster was removed and replaced by laying of lime plaster and traditional lime processing before application."
After the latest controversy erupted, Ebba Koch, a Mughal architecture historian had told the BBC that the locked rooms were chambers on the riverfront meant to be a cool recreational place in the summers.
Another historian, Rana Safvi, had claimed that the rooms were closed for public after a flood in 1978.

In shocking visuals viral on social media, a woman was mercilessly beaten up by a man in Karnataka. The incident occurred in Vinayak Nagar in Bagalkote district on May 14.
The victim was Sangeetha, a lawyer, and the assailant was her neighbour Mahantesh. He was seen slapping and kicking her, even as witnesses stood mutely.

Forcibly kissing someone on the lips, and touching private parts are not unnatural offences under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. The Bombay High Court reportedly said this while granting bail to a man accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy.
The man was arrested last year after the boy's father filed a police complaint. The boy used to visit the accused man's shop in Mumbai for recharging an online game 'Ola Party', according to news agency PTI.
The boy claimed that one day when he visited the shop, he was forcibly kissed, and his private parts were touched. Subsequently, the man was booked under IPC Section 377, and some sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences, or POCSO, Act.
IPC 377 pertains to "carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman, or animal". It carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Bombay High Court's Justice Anuja Prabhudessai said that the element of unnatural sex was not prima facie applicable. The judge also said that a medical test conducted on the boy did not support his statement of sexual assault.

In a fresh terror attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, a liquor shop was targeted in Baramulla. Terrorists hurled a grenade at the newly-opened liquor store, killing one person and injuring 3 others.
The attack occurred in a high-profile area housing offices of many police officials, as well as Army and CRPF camps, as per reports. The grenade was reportedly thrown in via the opening used to hand over liquor bottles to customers.
All the victims were employees at the shop. They were identified as Ranjit Singh, Goverdhan Singh, Govind Singh, and Ravi Kumar. They were rushed to a hospital where one succumbed to his injuries.
Heavy deployment of security personnel was seen in the area following the attack.
Kavinder Gupta, BJP leader and former Deputy CM of J&amp;K, said, "The terror outfit called Jammu &amp; Kashmir Freedom Fighters attacked a liquor store in Baramulla. A person named Ranjit Singh, hailing from Rajouri was killed. 3 people were injured. Constantly targeting minorities is intolerable. Security forces will find the attackers. This is a serious issue in view of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, and also the ongoing tourist season. Security forces are doing good work. Many terrorists have been neutralised. But equipment like CCTVs need to be installed so that such criminals are more easily found."

Did terrorists attack a bus carrying many Vaishno Devi pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir? Even as investigation details are awaited, a video allegedly released by a little-known terror group is doing the rounds.
In the unverified video, a man is seen with his face covered, and with guns and bombs around him. The man claims to represent a terror outfit called Jammu and Kashmir Freedom Fighters (JKFF).
He claims that the JKFF carried out the attack on the bus near Katra using an IED, or an improvised explosive device. A BJP leader had earlier claimed that a sticky bomb, or an explosive attached to a vehicle using magnets, was used in the attack.
The JKFF terrorist claims RSS' Hindutva agenda as motive for the attack. He adds that more such strikes will be carried out in future against similar targets.
The threat assumes significance as the Amarnath Yatra is set to begin from June 30, after a gap of 2 years.

Amid claims that a 'shivling' has been found at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, a political war of words broke out.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is currently in power in Uttar Pradesh, celebrated the news. However, Opposition leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi challenged the shivling claim.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief said that the structure at Gyanvapi was a fountain, not a shivling. Owaisi said, "'Baba' has not been found. Regarding the claim that a shivling has been found, the mosque committee has said that it is a fountain. Every mosque has such a fountain. The other important point is that the court-appointed commissioner did not approach the court. The petitioners' lawyer rushed to court and the judge issued an order. If there was a shivling, then the court-appointed commissioner should have said it."
The AIMIM chief also questioned the validity of the court order to seal the 'wuzu' pond where the alleged shivling was found. He said, "The court's order to seal the mosque area is in violation of the 1991 Act passed by Parliament. Read paragraph 83 of the Supreme Court's verdict in Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title suit. SC said that the 1991 Act is part of the Constitution's basic structure."
In response, Keshav Prasad Maurya, deputy chief minister of UP, said, "When Congress was in power, it used to bring laws which exacerbate such issues. At that time, the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign was taking place. (The 1991 Act was implemented) to prevent similar campaigns elsewhere. A shivling has not emerged there because of a campaign. A court was hearing a case, and upon its orders, a survey was done. According to the survey report, Baba Vishwanath has been found there. We are all celebrating. Statements by the Muslim side, or other politicians who practice appeasement, should stop. The situation in UP is very good."
The official report of the court-mandated survey of the mosque was not known by May 16. The claim that a shivling has been found was made by one of the petitioners.
A Varanasi court is currently hearing petitions filed by some Hindu women seeking permission to pray regularly at the Shringar Gauri shrine situated at one of the walls of the masjid.

'Not shivling, it is a...': Asaduddin Owaisi on Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri row, as BJP celebrates

A political war of words has broken out as claims of a 'shivling' at the Gyanvapi&nbsp;mosque do the rounds&nbsp;

Amid claims that a 'shivling' has been found at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, a political war of words broke out.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is currently in power in Uttar Pradesh, celebrated the news. However, Opposition leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi challenged the shivling claim.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief said that the structure at Gyanvapi was a fountain, not a shivling. Owaisi said, "'Baba' has not been found. Regarding the claim that a shivling has been found, the mosque committee has said that it is a fountain. Every mosque has such a fountain. The other important point is that the court-appointed commissioner did not approach the court. The petitioners' lawyer rushed to court and the judge issued an order. If there was a shivling, then the court-appointed commissioner should have said it."
The AIMIM chief also questioned the validity of the court order to seal the 'wuzu' pond where the alleged shivling was found.

A fire mysteriously breaks out on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims from Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir. 4 people die, 24 are injured.
Days after this incident caused alarm in the Union Territory, it appears that this was a terror attack. But more significantly, the possible modus operandi used is the same as Taliban in Afghanistan.
The fire on the bus near Katra was caused by a 'sticky bomb', according to BJP's J&K unit chief Ravinder Raina. The BJP leader claimed that this had been discovered during a forensic probe by the National Investigation Agency, or NIA.
So, what are sticky bombs? And what is their link to the Taliban?
Sticky bombs refer to explosives usually used on vehicles. Explosives packed into small box, and a magnet and a mobile phone are attached to box. When the attacker dials phone number programmed into the mobile, the explosives are triggered and a blast occurs.
Such bombs are usually stuck on the underside of vehicles. They were widely used by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Subsequently, sticky bombs were also adopted by ISIS-Khorasan against Taliban in the war-torn country.
The latest development comes amid the Indian Army's warning that weapons from Afghanistan were trickling into Kashmir. India has been fearing Taliban's interference in Kashmir ever since the extremist organisation snatched power in Afghanistan in 2021.
Meanwhile, a little-known terror group called the Jammu Kashmir Freedom Fighters, has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, authorities are yet to officially reveal findings of the investigation.
