Investigators said he was posted at the Delhi Police commissioner's office and was going home when the accident took place. The bus started from the Sarai Kale Khan Interstate Bus Terminus (ISBT) in Delhi at 7.30am and was headed towards Jaipur, when the accident took place between 9am and 9.15am. Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of the Gurugram police, said the accident took place due to speeding and reckless driving by the driver. 'The car had climbed on the expressway from a connecting road to move towards Jaipur. Meanwhile, the bus driver, due to speeding, failed to slow down the bus and took a sharp turn to avoid collision,' he said. There were at least 20 passengers in the bus and four more in the Maruti WagonR the bus collided with, police said. Kumar said that after hitting the car, it went over the divider and toppled on the opposite carriageway, injuring and trapping passengers. Police said other commuters alerted them and locals started pulling out passengers from a hole in the roof of the bus, caused due to the accident. The commuters in the car were also pulled out and all of them were admitted to hospitals, police said, adding that many suffered fractures. The Delhi Police constable, however, died during treatment at a private hospital in Manesar, they said. Police said that a passenger, 35-year-old Astha Raghav who was travelling in the bus with her nine-year-old daughter, alleged that she and several other passengers had cautioned the driver multiple times to slow down and drive safely, but he kept speeding. Raghav, a Shahdara resident, was travelling to Neemrana. Police said the Rajasthan state transport authorities have been contacted to ascertain the identity of the bus driver, who fled the spot. On Raghav's complaint, an FIR was registered against the bus driver under sections 106 (causing death by negligence), 281 (rash driving) and 125 (a) (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Bilaspur police station.

Sourabh Raaj Jain: Whatever time I spend at home is more qualitative than quantitative
Sourabh Raaj Jain, known for his mythological roles, is now portraying Raghav, a rockstar with a tough exterior but a soft heart, in 'Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil.' Sourabh Raaj Jain, last seen in the television show Patiala Babes, has now joined a new show, Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil. He opened up about his character Raghav and shares, 'Raghav is a rockstar sort of a character, a very good singer. He comes across as very hard on the outside but is extremely soft on the inside. And this happens due to certain situations in life. The story takes a turn when a little girl comes into his life and changes him for the better.' Known for portraying mythological and dramatic roles in the past, Sourabh took on a refreshing change with this layered, contemporary part. The actor even posted a picture on his social media from the sets to show behind the scenes. While currently he is shooting for the show in Umergaon. When asked if he enjoys outdoor shooting or in Mumbai, he says, 'I enjoy shooting irrespective of the place. That doesn't bother me. Because I have my own family now, it sometimes becomes a little sad if I have to be out for a long time. But then, it is work. So, we make sure that whatever time I spend at home is more qualitative than quantitative. Even if I get a one-day break, I just come back. '

Friends of the river
Raghav, a bright and friendly boy, lived with his parents by the river. His father, Shiva, enjoyed fishing, so the two would sometimes wake early and walk to the river bank. Raghav would wait there while his father paddled into the waters to cast his net. One day, as Raghav sat by the river watching the sun rise, he heard a sound in the bushes nearby. Even as he wondered if it was a snake, he heard squeaks and excited chattering followed by a splash. Curious, Raghav peeped over the bushes. Four otters — three adults and one baby — were playing with each other. His father had taught him all about the animals found along the river and often complained about otters. 'They steal fish from my nets,' Shiva had grumbled, 'but they are very intelligent.' A talking otter? Suddenly, one otter saw Raghav and made an odd noise that caused the others to turn. The baby quietly disappeared into a hole nearby. Worried that the otters would get angry, Raghav got ready to run but, to his surprise, the otter spoke, 'Don't worry. We won't harm you.' Forgetting his fear in his surprise, Raghav exclaimed, 'You speak my language!' Then, more excitedly, 'Aren't you otters? My father fishes regularly and has seen you often.' The otter laughed. 'Yes, we are smooth-coated otters! If your father fishes, I don't think he'll like us much.' 'He does complain that you steal his fish,' Raghav admitted. 'Sometimes we do,' the otter winked and began to play with the others. Two more joined the romp* and they disappeared into the water, turning up in the middle of the river, and then disappeared again. Just when it looked like they had gone away, they reappeared at the water's edge and climbed onto the bank. Making friends As the otters rolled and played on the sandbank, Raghav introduced himself to the otter who had spoken to him. 'I am Raghav. What is your name?' 'I am Tarkaz,' came the reply. 'And this is Aspen. Will you be our friend? We have other friends of our kind but no human ones.' 'Yes!' said Raghav happily. 'I would love that but I can't swim or do the things you do.' 'Actually, we have to be taught to swim by our mothers,' Aspen said. 'My mother was very strict!' 'My mother is strict too, but she doesn't know how to swim!' Raghav laughed, then asked, 'Do you eat only fish?' More about otters 'We love fish; it is our main food. But the small-clawed otters — the other species found in the streams of the Western Ghats — love to munch on crabs and tiny fish. We also protect some species of fish by eating those that prey on them. This helps keep the balance of species in the river.' Raghav had many more questions. 'Are you found in all Indian rivers? Do you live only in water? What do you do apart from catching fish?' Tarkaz laughed at hearing so many questions. 'We are found in most rivers in India, and often in mangroves, estuaries and even some lakes. We live in a den called a holt, which may be on the banks of the river or on a sandbank in the middle, and go into the water to fish and play. We love to explore our river. Do you know that some of the trees along its banks are over 200 years old?' Tarkaz dived into the water as he finished but Aspen continued from where he had left. 'Do you know there aren't as many of us as before?' he said seriously. 'Many of our friends have been killed by humans who think we are pests. We get caught in fishing nets and traps they lay for us. As a result, our population has dropped by 30% in the last two decades and we are now considered to be vulnerable with a high risk of extinction in the wild.' Moved, Raghav asked, 'How can I help?' Tarkaz's face brightened. 'Can you tell humans that we are their friends and mean no harm? In fact, we have something in common with all of you: we want the river to be clean too.' He dived in again and his face popped up in the middle of the river. Raghav yelled across to him, 'I will talk to all the humans I know and ask them to protect otters.' 'Thank you,' replied Tarkaz, climbing onto a rock in the middle of the river with a fish in his mouth. All the otters waved good bye. Raghav waved back and then heard his father calling for him. 'Whom were you shouting at?' Shiva asked. Raghav wondered what to say but Shiva didn't press for an answer. He just emptied the net on the bank and asked for help to sort out the catch. 'No one will believe what I just experienced,' Raghav thought, as they walked back to the village, 'but I will convince everyone that we must protect otters to conserve our river.' *Romp is the name for a group of otters.
