'Was travelling with my husband... dont know where he is now': Victim of Greater Noida bus fire
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 24 (IANS) A woman who suffered burn injuries in the Greater Noida double-decker bus fire was admitted to Aarogyadhara Hospital in Jewar for treatment on Thursday. Speaking to IANS, she shared her ordeal in the aftermath of the accident. Nine people died, and several others were seriously injured after a massive fire broke out in the double-decker bus in Greater Noida, near the 33 Km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway. The double-decker bus was going from Delhis Kashmiri Gate to Uttar Pradeshs Mahoba. I was going from Hisar, Chandannagar to Mahoba with my husband because my mother-in-law had passed away, she said. When asked about her husband, the woman started crying and said that she doesnt know where he was now after the mishap. His name is Devendra, she said. Narrating her experience, she said, I dont know what happened; suddenly the bus caught fire, and people started panicking and shouting 'fire, fire'. Additional District Magistrate Ajeet Kumar Singh of Gautam Buddha Nagar said, The fire was caused due to a short circuit. As you might know, the tragic accident occurred around 11.15 p.m. on Wednesday. Preliminary investigation reveals that a short circuit caused a fire on the bus. It was an AC sleeper bus travelling from Delhi to Mahoba. Nine people died and one of the victims, a woman, is being treated at the Aarogyadhara Hospital, he informed. He said, Some of the passengers who had minor injuries have been sent back to Mahoba to be treated for minor injuries. Some returned in personal vehicles while others were given special transport. President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi mourned the tragedy. The Centre and the Uttar Pradesh governments both announced compensation of Rs. 2 lakh each for the next of kin of all the deceased and Rs. 50,000 to the injured. More than 30 passengers were reportedly travelling on the bus when it suddenly caught fire. Nine passengers, including a woman, were trapped inside and burnt alive in the massive blaze. Upon receiving the information, senior police officials, along with the local police force and a fire tender stationed at the Jewar Toll Plaza, responded, according to the officials. Four additional fire tenders and a fire service unit immediately rushed to the scene and completely extinguished the fire. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire originated from a spark or blast in the bus's air conditioning system, which ignited the engine's lubricating oil and caused the fire to spread rapidly. The driver and conductor were taken into custody, and a case was registered under relevant sections.
Rs 1.19 Lakh cyber fraud racket busted in Delhi; four posing as Axis Bank officials arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) The Delhi Police have busted a cyber fraud racket involving impersonation as Axis Bank customer-care officials and arrested four people in connection with a Rs 1.19 lakh fraud case, officials said on Thursday. According to police, the accused posed as bank officials and cheated a credit-card holder on the pretext of cancelling a fictitious annual maintenance charge plan and issuing a new credit card. The fraudsters allegedly used virtual phone numbers, fake service-request details and a third-party payment application to gain the victims confidence. The accused siphoned off Rs 1,19,837 through multiple UPI transactions routed through the CheQ application. Eight mobile phones were also recovered, while technical analysis of one of the devices reportedly linked it to 32 other complaints. The case came to light after complainant Yash Sharma received a call on July 16 from a person allegedly posing as an Axis Bank credit-card official. The caller informed him about an AMC charge of Rs 2,499 and, when Sharma sought its cancellation, told him that he would receive a call from the banks customer-care department. He subsequently received another call from a number allegedly used to impersonate Axis Bank customer care. The caller induced him to download the CheQ application, claiming it was required to cancel the AMC plan and issue a new credit card. The victim was allegedly directed to make three UPI payments of Rs 2,538.81, Rs 58,647.68 and Rs 58,647.68, totalling Rs 1,19,834.17. Police said the accused also provided a fake service-request number and assured the victim that his new card would be activated within four hours and delivered within two days. After the card did not arrive, the victim contacted genuine Axis Bank customer care on July 17 and was informed that no such request existed. He blocked his card and reported the matter through the Cyber Crime Portal. An e-FIR was subsequently registered at PS Cyber North under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A dedicated team under the supervision of DCP North District Niharika Bhatt conducted technical and financial analysis of call-detail records, mobile numbers, Google account data, UPI transactions and beneficiary bank accounts. The investigation traced the transaction trail to a Kotak Mahindra Bank account linked to Prince Kumar. Police said the account showed suspicious transactions exceeding Rs 12 lakh within five to seven days. Prince Kumar, 20, was arrested from Aligarh on September 15. His interrogation led police to Vishal Tomar, 21, and Vishal Raghav, 27, both from Aligarh. Sanjay Verma, 40, of Uttam Nagar, was subsequently arrested. Police said Verma had previously worked at a call centre in Noida and allegedly learned the modus operandi of impersonating bank officials. Investigators suspect the accused used the Indy Number application to generate virtual numbers resembling bank customer-care numbers and used CheQ to route the allegedly fraudulent funds. Police said the network involved multiple roles, including arranging bank accounts, procuring SIM cards and withdrawing money through ATMs for commissions. The search for two other alleged associates, Bobby and Avtar, is underway. Further investigation is being conducted to trace the complete financial trail, identify additional victims and establish the role of other members of the alleged network.

According to officials, the bus, travelling from Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi, towards Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba, caught fire suddenly near the 33 km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway, within the jurisdiction of the Jewar Police Station, triggering panic among passengers, many of whom jumped out of the windows to save themselves. More than 30 passengers were reportedly travelling on the bus when it suddenly caught fire. Nine passengers, including a woman, were trapped inside and burnt alive in the massive blaze. Upon receiving the information, senior police officials, accompanied by the local police force, a rescue tender, and a fire tender stationed at the Jewar Toll Plaza, responded, according to the officials.

The incident has once again raised questions over the safety arrangements and precautions followed by buses, particularly those operating on long-distance routes. According to a preliminary report, the bus was carrying a large quantity of luggage, including baggage loaded on its roof. The presence of a substantial amount of luggage has also drawn attention in the wake of the fire. Fires involving buses of this nature have occurred in the past as well, raising concerns over passenger safety and the need for adequate emergency arrangements in such vehicles.

PGTI Tour: Khalin Joshi extends lead to six shots at Bengaluru Open 2026
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 23 (IANS) Khalin Joshi followed his career-low opening round with a four-under 68 to extend his lead to six shots at the halfway stage of the INR 1 crore Bengaluru Open 2026 at the Karnataka Golf Association (KGA) in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The 34-year-old Bengaluru golfer (61-68), who began the day four strokes ahead after firing an 11-under 61 in round one, made five birdies and a solitary bogey to reach 15-under 129 at his home course on a cloudy, cool and windy day. Joshi remained bogey-free until his 16th hole of the day, the par-four seventh, where he dropped his only shot of the round. The three-time PGTI winner this season arrived in Bengaluru after claiming last weeks Nava Raipur Open. He began the week in seventh place in the Race to India Championship. Local teenager Manoj S. (65-70) retained second place at nine-under 135 after returning a two-under 70. The 18-year-olds eventful round featured five birdies, one bogey and a double bogey. Four players shared third place at seven-under 137: Gurugrams Manu Gandas (69-68), Greater Noidas Saptak Talwar (67-70), Delhis Shaurya Bhattacharya (66-71) and Gurugrams Veer Ahlawat (68-69). Gandas was the 2023 DP World PGTI Rankings champion, while Talwar is the current Race to India Championship leader. Ahlawat topped the DP World PGTI Rankings in 2024. Bengalurus Mari Muthu R. (67-71) slipped from a share of fourth overnight to seventh at six-under 138. Joshi was satisfied with another assured performance and his commanding position at the halfway stage. It was another solid day, Joshi said. Im pleased with the way Ive played over the first two rounds and satisfied with where I am. Im now looking forward to the final two days. Joshi began his second round with consecutive birdies and added three more before his only blemish on the seventh. I started strongly with birdies on my first two holes, he said. I would have liked to finish a little better, especially after making my first bogey of the week, but my game still feels good. Gusty winds and more demanding flag positions provided a different examination from the opening round, although Joshi felt the conditions allowed the players to appreciate KGA at its best. We were blessed with excellent weather, although the gusty wind and tougher flag positions made the course interesting, he said. KGA is my home course, and it is wonderful for the entire field to experience such a great venue in these conditions. With a six-shot cushion heading into the last two rounds, Joshi intends to retain the approach that carried him to 15-under through 36 holes. I want to continue finding fairways and greens, create birdie opportunities and keep applying pressure at the top of the leaderboard, added Joshi, who has his Thai girlfriend caddying for him this week. The halfway cut fell at one-over 145, with 52 players from the field of 132 advancing to the final two rounds. The Bengaluru Open is the final tournament before the top-60 on the 2026 PGTI Order of Merit are confirmed. The players finishing inside the top-60 at the end of this event will retain their playing rights for the 2026-27 season.

Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.
Max Noida launches exclusive oncology OPD services in Srinagar
Max Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, has launched exclusive Oncology OPD services at Arshad Farooqs Clinic in Karan Nagar, Srinagar, to provide specialised cancer consultations and treatment guidance to patients in Kashmir. The services were launched in the presence of Dr. S.M. Shuaib Zaidi, Principal Director and Unit Head, Surgical Oncology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Noida; Dr. Arshad Farooq, Managing Director of Arshad Farooqs Clinic; and Gazzanfar Hameed, Director of the clinic. Dr. Zaidi will be available at the clinic on the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon for primary consultations and follow-ups. Dr. Zaidi said lack of awareness often leads people to ignore early cancer symptoms and seek medical attention only after the disease has progressed. He stressed the importance of preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, regular self-examination and timely screening, saying early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. With advancements such as minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, cancer surgeries today offer greater precision, faster recovery and improved outcomes, he said. Dr. Zaidi said the OPD would provide consultation and treatment guidance to patients with symptoms such as lumps, vomiting blood, difficulty swallowing and unexplained weight loss, among other concerning conditions. He said the initiative was aimed at helping more patients access timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment guidance. Max Super Speciality Hospital said the initiative is part of its efforts to expand access to specialised cancer care through healthcare partnerships and provide patients with comprehensive oncology services.
India's KAL Drone Flies: 1,000 Km Strike Range, Shahed-Style Loitering Weapon Built In Noida
India has tested a new long-range loitering munition. Noida-based IG Defence successfully flew its KAL drone from the Pokhran Field Firing Range in Rajasthan, validating its airframe, propulsion, avionics, navigation and mission systems. Designed for strikes up to 1,000 kilometres away, KAL can stay airborne for up to eight hours, carry a 50-kg explosive payload, and operate autonomously using satellite and inertial navigation. With conflicts from Ukraine to the Red Sea proving the battlefield value of cheap, mass-produced drones, could KAL become India's answer to the Shahed-136?
