In a shocking incident in Moradabad, a school principal named Shabab-ul-Hasan was shot and killed in broad daylight, with the entire event recorded on video. The footage shows him approaching Sai Vidya Mandir School when two assailants on a motorcycle approached from behind.

The incident took place around 9:00 a.m. in the Lakdi area under the jurisdiction of Majhola Police Station. The attackers fled the scene immediately after the shooting.

SP City Ranvijay Singh stated that the motive for the murder remains unclear. Notably, four months prior, Shabab-ul-Hasan was embroiled in controversy following the suicide of a student at the same school, with the student's family filing an FIR against him, alleging that he had mistreated the student. Police are investigating whether this earlier incident might be linked to his murder.
