A serious car accident happened in Vadodara, Gujarat, early on Friday. A car driven by a young man hit several scooters, leading to the death of a woman named Hemali Patel and injuring four others.

The driver, Rakshit Chaurasia, is a 23-year-old law student from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, who studies at Maharaja Sayajirao University in Vadodara. He may have been driving fast and could have been drunk at the time of the accident. Some people who saw the crash told the police he appeared intoxicated and shouted, “Another round!” when he got out of the car after the accident. Eyewitness videos capture him making these comments, and the police are taking this evidence seriously.

After the crash, his friend Pranshu Chauhan, who was sitting with him in the car, also faced questions from the police. The car belongs to a company run by Pranshu’s father. CCTV footage showed how the speeding car hit two scooters and caused a terrible scene.

The police are investigating the situation and are waiting for medical tests to confirm if Rakshit was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Imagine if your body could learn to fight cancer like dogs are trained to find bombs. Normally, your immune system helps protect you from diseases, including cancer. But sometimes, cancer tricks the immune system by pretending to be a part of your body, which makes it hard to notice.

This is where CAR T-cell therapy comes in. Think of it as giving your immune system special glasses that help it see the bad guys—like cancer cells. Here’s how it works: doctors take some of your immune cells, teach them to recognize cancer in a lab, and then put them back into your bloodstream. Now, your body’s own soldiers can spot and fight the cancer more effectively!

The Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) in Uttar Pradesh arrested a man named Ravindra Kumar, who works at an ordnance factory in Firozabad. He is accused of sharing secret information with Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), after falling into a “honey trap.”

Nilabja Choudhary, a senior officer with the ATS, explained that they called Kumar to their office in Lucknow for questioning and discovered he had been leaking sensitive defense documents to a woman named ‘Neha,’ who is believed to be an ISI agent.

The ATS had been tipped off that Kumar was passing on different kinds of confidential information. Their Agra unit checked into him, and during the questioning, it was confirmed that he had shared important details about daily production, stock movement, and other crucial documents from the factory.

Choudhary mentioned that this kind of spying method, called a “honeytrap,” can be a major threat to national security. He urged other sensitive government institutions to improve their security checks to prevent this from happening in the future.

In Shahjahanpur, some kids threw stones at the ‘Laat Sahab’ during a celebration on Friday, but the police quickly stopped them. Superintendent of Police Rajesh S explained that the ‘Laat Sahab’ celebration started at Kunchalal, went by Phoolmati Mandir and Town Hall, and ended back at Kunchalal. At the Khirni Bagh intersection, a group of five or six kids threw colorful powder (gulal) and even shoes at ‘Laat Sahab’ before throwing a stone. The police were there and chased the kids away.

When asked if the police used force, the SP said no. He mentioned that the procession first went to the Phoolmati Temple for prayers and then to the Kotwali, where ‘Laat Sahab’ was honored. During the event, ‘Laat Sahab’ asked a police officer about the crimes that happened throughout the year, and the officer gave him a bottle of liquor and some cash.

Many people joined in the celebration, throwing shoes while cheering for ‘Laat Sahab.’ The police set up strong security around ‘Laat Sahab’s bullock cart. The SP also noted that there were 18 other processions during this celebration, with two being especially important.

To ensure the mosques along the route stayed clean, about 20 of them were covered with tarps, and barriers were put near mosques and electrical transformers. For the first time, a special celebration took place in the district jail, where they made a statue of ‘Laat Sahab’ after prisoners requested it. They had fun throwing colors at each other.

This celebration began in 1728 when Nawab Abdullah Khan played Holi with the people of Shahjahanpur. Over time, the tradition changed to picking an unknown person as ‘Laat Sahab,’ painting their face black, and parading them on a bullock cart while throwing shoes. Historian Dr. Vikas Khurana mentioned a court case in 1990 to stop the parade, but the court allowed it to continue, calling it an old tradition
