LUCKNOW, Sept. 22 -- A 23-year-old schoolteacher was shot dead inside a private school in Lakhimpur Kheri on Monday morning by an armed man, 28, who had come to meet her. The accused then shot himself dead with the same country-made pistol, police said. The incident took place around 11:30 am at Children's Academy School on Shahpura Kothi road, near the Kheri head post office, while classes were underway. Kheri senior superintendent of police (SSP) Khyati Garg identified the deceased as Nishat Fatima, a resident of Hidayatnagar, and the accused as Mohammad Saud Ansari, of Naurangabad. Fatima had been teaching at the school for about a year, Garg said. According to the SSP, Saud reached the school around 11:30 am to meet Fatima and met her on the ground floor. He then accompanied her to the first floor, where he allegedly shot her with a country-made pistol in the corridor outside the senior-KG classroom before shooting himself. "Both died on the spot," Garg said. According to a complaint by Nishat's brother, Shadab Akhtar, Saud had allegedly been harassing her and pressuring her to marry him. The family had repeatedly warned Saud and approached his parents, but the harassment continued. Kotwali Sadar police registered an FIR under Sections 103(1) and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against Saud, his father Qayum Ansari and his mother, whose name was not immediately available. Multiple gunshots caused panic among school staff and children. According to school staff, nursery and KG classes had ended around 11:30 am and parents had begun arriving to take their children home when the firing took place. The firing occurred in the first-floor corridor outside room No 11. As news of the incident spread, anxious parents gathered outside the school. ASP East Pavan Kumar Gautam, DSP Lakhimpur Vivek Tiwari and city Kotwali in-charge Rajesh Kumar Singh, along with police personnel, reached the school. SSP Garg and district magistrate Anjani Kumar Singh also reached the spot and conducted preliminary investigations. A forensic team was called to collect evidence. Police are examining how Saud entered the school carrying a firearm and reached the first floor. CCTV footage and the school's security arrangements will be reviewed, Garg said. "The police will also examine the school's security arrangements, CCTV coverage and the standard operating procedures governing the entry of visitors into the premises," she said. The bodies were sent for post-mortem examination, Garg said....
