Sitapur: A student of a private school shot at his principal on Saturday after the latter scolded him following an altercation with a peer, police said.

The principal, Ram Singh Verma, was shot twice. The incident took place at Adarsh Ramswaroop Inter College in Sadarpur police station area of Biswan tehsil, they said.

“Yesterday (23 September), the accused student had a fight with another student who later complained about the same to the principal,” said Narendra Pratap Singh, Additional Superintendent of Police, Sitapur.

According to the Quint, he further added that the principal called both the students, scolded them and beat them up. “The accused student was upset because of this, which led him to get a countrymade pistol to school the next day, and fire at the principal of the school,” Singh said.

The accused student, Gurinder Singh, had a quarrel with another student on Friday. Later, Singh was scolded by Verma, Singh added.

Angry over being scolded, Singh shot at Verma twice. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera, the ASP said, adding that the principal has been referred to Lucknow for treatment.

The principal was shot in the stomach and was taken to a local CHC before being transferred to the KGMU Trauma Centre in Lucknow. After a thorough examination, the doctors determined that the bullet did not damage any vital organs and exited the principal’s body.

According to Times of India, Sitapur superintendent of police Ghule Sushil Chandrabhan said that prima facie, a .315 bore country-made pistol was used by the accused.

“Two police teams were formed to nab the accused while a case was registered against the miscreant under the charges of attempt to murder,” he said.

The accused student, Gurinder Singh, has been taken into custody, according to ASP Narendra Pratap Singh.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
