Teacher Dharmendra Kumar Singh was shot dead in Muzaffarnagar.

Actually, teacher Dharmendra Kumar Singh was shot dead in Muzaffarnagar last night. The incident was carried out by the constable who accompanied teacher Dharmendra with copies of the UP Board exam. It is being told that when the tobacco was not given, the constable fired several rounds at the teacher from the government carbine. The teacher was injured by the bullet. Later he died during treatment in the hospital.

Teacher and two employees left to collect copies of UP Board

According to the information received, teacher Santosh Kumar Dharmendra along with two class IV employees had left Varanasi in a vehicle on March 14 to collect UP Board copies in various districts of the state. Keeping security in mind, Sub Inspector Nagendra Chauhan and Chief Constable Chandra Prakash were sent with him as guards. On the way, the team collected copies at Prayagraj, Shahjahanpur, Pilibhit, Moradabad, Bijnor and reached Muzaffarnagar on the night of 17 March.
