5 of Delhi family killed in road accident near Bulandshahr
Five members of a Delhi-based family, including a toddler, were burnt alive and a teenage girl critically injured when their car crashed, overturned, and caught fire on a highway in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district early Wednesday morning. The family was returning to Delhi after attending a wedding in Badaun. The accident occurred around 5.50am on the Jahangirabad–Bulandshahr Road near the Chandauk crossing, within the jurisdiction of Jahangirabad police station. Police said the CNG-fuelled Maruti Swift hit a culvert, flipped over, and burst into flames—leaving five of the six occupants trapped inside and charred to death. Only 15-year-old Gulnaz survived. She was rescued by police and fire officials and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The deceased were identified as Tanveez Ahmad (26), his wife Nida (21), his sister Momina (24), Momina's husband Zuber Ali (30), and their two-year-old son, Zainul. The family originally hailed from Chamanpura village in Badaun, but had been living in the Hauz Rani area of south Delhi's Malviya Nagar. Tanveez worked as an AC mechanic for an international brand, while Zuber was a house painter. Both women were homemakers. Police suspect the driver—believed to be either Tanveez or Zuber—dozed off at the wheel. 'The car lost control, hit a culvert, overturned, and caught fire. Rescue efforts were launched immediately after a passerby alerted us. Unfortunately, five people were declared dead at the hospital,' said Tejveer Singh, superintendent of police (Rural). Tanveez's father, Tanveer Ahmad, said the family had travelled to Badaun on Saturday for the wedding of his nephew. After attending the function on Monday, some family members returned to Delhi on Tuesday evening. Tanveez and Zuber stayed back and left in the early hours of Wednesday with their wives and the children. 'I returned to Delhi with my friends and some relatives on Tuesday evening. Tanveez and Zuber stayed back as they were travelling together in my son's Swift car along with my two daughters and grandson,' he said. 'My wife and brother had told them to leave after sunrise, but they were in a hurry. They said they'd beat the traffic and make it to work on time,' said Tanveer, who runs a furniture business. Tanveer was still asleep at their Hauz Rani home when he got a call from an unknown number around 6am. 'It was a passerby who said a girl involved in a road accident had given him my number. It was my daughter, Gulnaz. She could barely speak. Then he told me about the car—it was my son's,' Tanveer said, breaking down. He immediately called his brother in Badaun and asked him to rush to the spot. 'It was the worst phone call of my life,' he said.

Former students gift new bus to Terengganu school for Teacher's Day celebration
KUALA NERUS: The Teacher's Day celebration at Sekolah Menengah Sains Sultan Mahmud (SESMA) here recently took on a special meaning, as its alumni pooled resources through a donation drive to gift the school a new bus worth RM670,000. The new bus from SESMA Alumni Association (My SESMA) was handed over by its president Datuk Mohd Zuber Embong to the school's principal Hayati A Rahman. Zuber, who is also a former Terengganu state speaker, said the funds to purchase the new bus came from a donation drive launched in February 2023. He said they managed to raise RM2 million from the public and government-linked companies (GLCs) within 22 months. "The initial proposal by the My SESMA committee to launch the donation drive, including organising a gala night, was for the construction of a new prayer hall that could accommodate about 250 people," he said. Zuber added that the school management later applied for the purchase of a new bus, which was approved by My SESMA before the order was placed last February. "The school's new prayer hall is expected to be fully operational by next August. "The new bus and prayer hall are special gifts from My SESMA to the school in conjunction with the 2025 Teacher's Day celebration," he said.
