She was visiting the police station for her passport verification. And was awaiting her turn. Just then, a cop, cocking a gun, misfired. The bullet hit the woman, sending her crashing to the floor, showed the disturbing video from Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh.  

The woman, Ishrat, has been rushed to a hospital, where her condition is said to be critical.

The accident took place around 2:50 pm. The accused policeman is missing.

The family has alleged that the woman was being harassed for money by the officer in charge of her passport verification. An argument followed and the officer shot her, claimed the family.

“She had visited the police station for passport inquiry. She was getting calls for money. Don’t know who shot her. Don’t know about the money demanded. There was an argument between them,” said Jeeshan, a relative of the 55-year-old injured woman.

The video shows the woman standing with a man awaiting her turn when the cop comes in and is handed a gun by his colleague. The cop is seen testing the gun when the shot is fired and the woman collapses to the ground.

“Due to negligence, Inspector Manoj Sharma has been suspended with immediate effect and a criminal case has been registered against him. The injured woman is being treated by the doctor’s team, the footage of the incident is being investigated by the field unit,” said Kalanidhi Naithani, SSP, Aligarh.

The woman was hit in the back of the head, the officer said, adding that teams have been formed and strict action will be taken against the accused policeman.

The first-ever full-disk images of the Sun has been captured by India’s Aditya-L1 Mission, said ISRO this evening. The photos – in near ultraviolent wavelengths – “provide pioneering insights into the intricate details of the Sun’s photosphere and chromosphere,” ISRO posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The SUIT payload captures full-disk images of the Sun in near ultraviolet wavelengths

The images include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm.

The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope or SUIT instrument on board the Aditya-L1 spacecraft captured the images in the 200-400 nm wavelength range, ISRO said in a statement. SUIT captures images of the Sun’s photosphere and chromosphere in this wavelength range using various scientific filters.

Sunspots, plage and quiet Sun reqions were among the features revealed through the photos. The SUIT observations will help scientists study the dynamic coupling of the magnetized solar atmosphere and assist them in placing tight constraints on the effects of solar radiation on Earth’s climate, the space agency said.

“On November 20, 2023, the SUIT payload was powered On. Following a successful pre-commissioning phase, the telescope captured its first light science images on December 6, 2023,” ISRO said, adding “These unprecedented images, taken using eleven different filters (as shown in Table 1), include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm, excluding Ca II h. The full disk images of the Sun in the Ca II h wavelength has been studied from other observatories.”

Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space-based observatory to study the Sun from a halo orbit around first Sun-earth Lagrangian point (L1), which is located roughly 1.5 million km from Earth. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft was launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
