Faridabad Teacher Stabbed to Death Inside School, Oil India Signs City Energy MoUs

A 30-year-old schoolteacher named Sandhya was fatally stabbed inside a private school in Faridabad's Sikrauna village by a man she had recently filed a harassment complaint against, with the suspect arrested within two hours of the attack. The killing has brought renewed attention to the dangers faced by educators who formally report misconduct by those who know them. In a separate development, Oil India's green energy subsidiary signed memoranda of understanding with Faridabad and three other Haryana municipalities to develop compressed biogas and waste-to-energy infrastructure across the National Capital Region.

Teacher Murdered Inside Faridabad School by Harassment Accused

A 30-year-old teacher named Sandhya was murdered inside the premises of Saraswati Senior Secondary School in Sikrauna village, Faridabad, by a young man she had accused of harassment. The accused, Amit (21), from Kot village, arrived at the school that Monday morning and waited in the lobby, where he asked staff members where the teacher could be found. When Sandhya arrived at approximately 9:30 am, Amit dragged her from her classroom and stabbed her more than 20 times across the face, neck, and chest. Police reported that even after Sandhya fell to the ground, the attacker continued to stab her. School administrator Tejpal heard the commotion and ran to help, attempting physically to stop the assault, but the victim died at the scene from her extensive wounds. Amit was apprehended by police within two hours of the attack and subsequently confessed to the killing. A preliminary investigation found that the accused had first encountered Sandhya roughly two years before the attack, when he was a student at a private school in her village. Despite her clear reluctance to maintain contact with him, Amit continued following and tracking her. Upset by his persistent behavior, she had reportedly threatened to file a formal case. She then filed a molestation complaint against Amit just days before the attack, at which point he had publicly apologized to avoid legal consequences. Police believe the killing was carried out in retaliation for that formal complaint. Inspector Kewal Singh, Station House Officer at Faridabad's Sector-58 police station, stated that Amit waited on campus before dragging Sandhya out and stabbing her repeatedly with a knife the moment she emerged from her classroom, with video evidence documenting the assault.

🏢 Oil India Green Unit Signs Biogas and Waste-to-Energy MoUs with Faridabad Municipality

Oil India's renewable energy subsidiary, OIL Green Energy, signed memoranda of understanding with the municipalities of Gurugram, Faridabad, Hisar, and Ambala in Haryana to develop integrated compressed biogas and waste-to-energy projects. The agreement was disclosed in pre-market Indian stocks coverage and drew attention from energy sector analysts familiar with India's clean fuel transition. Compressed biogas is produced by processing organic municipal waste through anaerobic digestion, yielding a gas that can be blended into the national pipeline grid or used directly as vehicle fuel, giving cities a way to simultaneously reduce landfill burden and generate locally sourced clean energy. In the Indian policy environment, municipal MoUs of this kind typically represent an expression of intent and, in some cases, agreement on land or feedstock access, rather than committed capital expenditure. The standard project sequence in this sector moves from a signed MoU to feasibility study, through firm offtake arrangements under national blending and gas-marketing frameworks, before any revenue line can be established. Oil marketing and upstream public sector undertakings across India have been steadily expanding compressed biogas capacity over recent years, aligning with central government targets for cleaner fuel and improved urban waste management. OIL Green Energy's four-city Haryana agreement positions the subsidiary within the National Capital Region, where municipalities manage large daily volumes of organic waste. Faridabad's inclusion reflects its scale as an industrial and residential hub in the NCR belt. The simultaneous coverage of Gurugram, Hisar, and Ambala alongside Faridabad suggests a regional approach to biogas infrastructure intended to serve both residential and industrial energy consumers across Haryana's major urban centres.
