A school teacher, Rao Danish Ali, was shot dead on the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) campus by two unidentified assailants on a scooter. The incident occurred during his evening walk near the university library. One assailant reportedly told the victim, "You don't know me yet, now you will," before firing multiple shots, including in the head. Police have formed multiple teams to investigate the motive and apprehend the killers, reviewing CCTV footage. The murder occurred shortly after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the state's improved law and order.
