A 25-year-old man was murdered by his friends after a heated argument over the paltry sum which was lost in the online Ludo game at Mangalhat here on Saturday night. The victim, Mohammed Anees from Gachibowli, was stabbed several times by his four friends, over an argument that began after they met the victim and other friends -- Rasheed, 30, from Tapachabutra, and Mohammed Mustafa, 24, from Mangalhat, after a ‘fight’ which took place 10 days ago. They had disagreements over the Ludo betting amount. The group first abused each other in filthy language and later attacked with fists. They were under the influence of alcohol. The accused persons left the place and returned after a few minutes with knives and other sharp objects and attacked Anis, Rasheed and Mustafa.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.
