Police say that the history-sheeter was threatening people by flashing the dagger and fake pistol
The Hyderabad City Police’s South Zone CCS Crime Team on Thursday said they nabbed a history-sheeter and seized from his possession a fake pistol and dagger.
Police identified the accused as Shaik Ahmed Bin Omar Bawazeer, 30, a resident of Barkas in Hyderabad. They said that the Bawazeer was arrested in connection with a case registered at the Chandrayangutta police station under sections 354, 509, and 506, read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. He was absconding for the past three months, police said.
He was allegedly brandishing the now-seized knife and fake pistol, and threatening people. The accused is being handed over to the Chandrayangutta police for further action.
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
