UP Board Class X marksheets yet to reach schools
Noida, June 30 Students who have to appear for compartmental examinations are the worst sufferers as today was the last date to submit forms for the exams, which could not be done without a copy of the original marksheet. At Inter College in Sector 12, students were asked to submit a copy of the original marksheet with the form for the compartmental examination. This put the students in a fix as they had only the marksheet downloaded from the Internet. "I have to write compartmental exam for maths. Today, I came here to submit the form for the examination, but was told that it cannot be done without a copy of the original marksheet. I have attached a copy of the marksheet that I downloaded from the Internet. The copy was verified by the principal of my school, but still my form was not accepted," said Pawan Kumar, a student of Dayanand Inter College. Kumar even called his schoolteacher to ask if the original markssheets had reached school, but was told that they had not. Saurabh Kapasia of Sangat Green Inter College; Rahul Kumar of DPHS College, Dujiana; Ravinder Kumar of Vaidic Inter College, Loharli; Abhay Singh of Khatana Inter College; Sumit Nagar from Ranoli and a dozen of other students too faced the same problem. "If we do not appear for the compartmental exam, our one year would be wasted," they said. The college staff, meanwhile, tried to distance itself from the problem. It asked the students to submit an application stating that if their examination forms were rejected by the board for non-submission of a copy of the original marksheet, they will be responsible for it and not the college. Some students submitted the applications with the form, while the rest went away without submitting it. The students who have passed the exam and want to take admission in other schools for further studies are also facing the same problem. "I was thinking of taking admission in Class XI in another school, but could not apply as I have not yet got my marksheet," said a student Jitendra Kumar. |

2 DU staffers held for caste certificate scam
New Delhi, June 30 According to the police, the accused-- Sanjit Mahajan and Neeraj Sharma-- are employed in the university's Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) cell. The Delhi police had earlier arrested a three-member gang, comprising leader Himanshu Gupta (26), Vikas and Ketan, which allegedly supplied fake caste certificates to students and facilitated their admissions on the payment of a hefty sum. "The interrogation of the trio led us to Mahajan and Sharma who were paid around Rs 5,000 to 12, 000 to pass off the fake certificates as genuine and thus facilitate admissions under the SC/ST quota," said a senior police official. Sanjit Mahajan joined DU in 1997 and worked as a lower-division clerk while Sharma joined in 2001 and worked as an office assistant. According to the police, Gupta revealed that he charged anything from Rs 3-5 lakh, depending upon the paying capacity of the student, for each admission. |

Family fears for missing farmer’s life
Greater Noida, June 30 "Police teams have been searching for Tevatia who has reportedly disguised himself to evade arrest. Today we have initiated the process of property attachment of Tevatia," said Ambesh Tyagi, deputy superintendent of police. "Police was planning to kill my son in an encounter," said Harbiri Devi, mother of the absconding farmer leader. Since January 17, farmers have been agitating at Bhatta, demanding scrapping of Land Acquisition Act and right to farmers to sell their land directly to private builders. They resorted to violence four times, and kidnapped officials and manhandled them. Farmers have been booked under different IPC sections. Tevatia was the main accused in all the FIRs lodged at Dankore police station. After the clash between the police and farmers on May 7 in which District Magistrate Deepak Aggarwal was also injured, Tevatia along with five other accused Neeraj Malik, Prem Vir, Kiran Pal, Gaje Singh and Manoj Singh went absconding. The police later announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for the arrest of Tevatia. A reward was also announced for the arrest of other five accused. One accused Prem Vir was arrested from the Noida area on June 11. Earlier, the Ghaziabad police had arrested Satpal Choudhary, a Jat leader and resident of Chipiana for giving shelter to Tevatia. By interrogating him, the police has hoped to get some clue to Tevatia's whereabouts. "I have told the farmers to bring back home their menfolks who are not returning for fear of arrest. We have stopped identifying more accused from the video clippings. No more accused will be added to the FIR except the six accused already named in the list," said Surindera Singh Nagar, MP, Gautam Budha
Nagar. |

Raze properties under dangerous wires: CM
New Delhi, June 30 She was briefing the media persons on the government's planning after the Khajoori Khas incident where 22 persons, including children, sustained injuries when 1,000-meter wire melted and fell. Khajoori Khas is an unauthorized colony. Houses are constructed on both the sides of high-tension wire poles. Portions of many buildings come under the wire during the mishap. A senior officer of the Delhi Transco Limited made an inquiry just after the incident had taken place. The report disclosed that the wire that had fallen was earth wire, not live wire. Copper-coated thread of the kite had touched the wire resulting in sparking. Consequently, the earth wire melted and fell down. The DTL has appealed to the agencies concerned to remove the unauthorized construction from near the high-tension wire. Taking note of the incident a few days ago, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued a notice to the Delhi government to submit its comments on the incident and what action it was taking to ensure the avoidance of such incidents in future. |

Khare’s car found, juvenile held
New Delhi, June 30 According to the police, the Ford Fiesta car was recovered this morning from the Nehru Vihar area and a juvenile, who was found asleep inside the car, was arrested. However, the police is yet to recover the stolen laptop and a blackberry mobile which were stolen from
the house. According to the boy, the said items are with the other juvenile who was his accomplice in the burglary. According to IB Rani, DCP (north), the breakthrough came after extensive searches and the car was traced at D-Block, Nehru Vihar, near Ganda Nala. "The police officials asked the boy to come out of the car but he was not willing to listen. Despite repeated directions, he was adamant. Suspecting that he might flee with the car, the police broke the glass of the car and apprehended the boy," said Rani. The boy said that he committed the crime with the help of another juvenile and a middle-aged person, Rohit, who used both of them to commit burglary. Rohit had gone in search of a suitable buyer and promised to return in the morning when the police traced the car. According to Rani, stolen laptop and mobile phone are in the possession of Rohit and another boy who are absconding. Efforts are on to apprehend them. Rohit runs a racket in which he uses juveniles to commit crimes, said Rani. Meanwhile, Khare, when asked whether the laptop contained any sensitive information, said the laptop and mobile belonged to his son and the laptop could only have contents which any other youngsters have. "The most sensitive thing that the laptop can have is photographs of my son's girlfriend," said Khare while refuting to comment on BJP leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra's comment that the Delhi police has failed to curb crime in the city. |
