Gunshots echoed through one of India’s most prominent university campuses on Wednesday night. Danish Rao, a school teacher at Aligarh Muslim University, was shot dead after being threatened by armed attackers during an evening walk. Witnesses say one of the gunmen warned him - "You’ll know me now” - before opening fire. Rao was hit multiple times, including two bullets to the head. He was taken to hospital but could not be saved. Police confirm both assailants fired at him and escaped the scene. CCTV footage is under review as multiple teams hunt the killers. The murder has sparked outrage, fear among students and faculty, and tough questions for authorities, especially as it comes amid official claims of a safer Uttar Pradesh. This incident has once again brought campus security, policing failures, and accountability into sharp national focus.
