Tragedy at School: A Junior Fatally Stabs His Senior in Ahmedabad

Image
     Ahmedabad witnessed a deeply disturbing incident that has cast a shadow over the entire educational community. A Class 10 student named Nayan Santani was tragically killed by a Class 8 student outside their school premises. What began as a heated argument soon turned into a fatal stabbing—an event that shocked parents, students, and the city at large.      Reports suggest that the altercation stemmed from an earlier disagreement, a minor scuffle on a school staircase between the victim's cousin and the accused. On that fateful afternoon, the Class 10 student confronted his junior about the issue. The argument escalated rapidly, and in a moment of violence, the Class 8 student wielded a knife and stabbed Nayan. CCTV cameras later captured the heartbreaking sight of a bloodied and struggling Nayan staggering back into the school grounds. Though he was eventually taken to a private hospital, he succumbed to his injuries later that night.    ...

Etan Patz: The missing child who changed America

Image
On May 25, 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz left his apartment in SoHo, New York City, to walk to school by himself. It was the first time he had been allowed to walk alone. He never made it to school. Etan's disappearance was one of the first cases to capture national attention, and it helped to change the way America thinks about missing children. Before Etan, missing children were often seen as runaways or victims of parental neglect. But Etan's case showed that even the most innocent children could be abducted. In the days and weeks after Etan's disappearance, police searched tirelessly for him. They interviewed neighbors, searched buildings, and even drained the Hudson River. But they found no trace of Etan. Etan's parents, Stan and Julie Patz, refused to give up hope. They founded the Etan Patz Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which has helped to find thousands of missing children over the years. The case remained a mystery until in 2012, a man called a hotl...

JonBenét Ramsey: A case that remain unsolved

Image
  JonBenét Ramsey was a six-year-old child beauty pageant contestant who was found murdered in her home in Boulder, Colorado on December 26, 1996. Her death sparked a national media frenzy and remains one of the most high-profile unsolved murders in American history. On the morning of December 26, JonBenét's mother, Patsy Ramsey, found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for her daughter's safe return. John and Patsy Ramsey called the police, but JonBenét's body was found later that day in the basement of the house. She had been beaten and strangled. The Boulder Police Department initially focused their investigation on the Ramseys, but they were never charged with a crime. In 2002, a grand jury indicted John Ramsey on charges of first-degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, and being an accessory to a crime, but the charges were dismissed by the district attorney due to insufficient evidence. The JonBenét Ramsey case has been the subject of much speculation and debate ...

  On November 24, 1971, a man wearing a business suit, trench coat, and loafers boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington.
