The police have arrested a dozen miscreants from Bihar and Jharkhand including a prominent leader of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the students wing of BJP in connection with the leak of question papers of CBSE for Mathematics (Class X) and Economics (Class XII) .

This information was revealed by Akhilesh B Variar, Superintendent of Police, Chatra district (Jharkhand) in a press conference on Saturday. The exams were held on 28 March and after reports about the leak, the CBSE had cancelled the papers.

The SP told media persons that leaked question paper had reached Chatra from Patna on WhatsApp. Twelve people have been arrested in this connection. They include a leader of ABVP who is also owner of a coaching centre in Chatra. The arrested persons include nine minor students who have been sent to a remand home in Hazaribagh.

ABVP leader has been identified as Satish Pandey who is Chatra district coordinator of ABVP and owner of a local study centre Study Vision. The district Police chief said it was Pandey who took money from students for the leaked questions. He had sent the 28th March question paper to students through WhatsApp on 27th March itself.

The SP also said that Pandey had helped in sneaking in solved questions in a school where CBSE exam was being conducted on 28th March. This resulted in cheating in the exam hall at the school.

He also informed that the SIT constituted by the Chatra Police arrested two from Patna — Gaya resident Amit Kumar and Chhapra resident Akash Kumar. Both, he said, were in touch with education mafia in Delhi.

Only on Friday, the CBSE had announced new date (April 25) for fresh exam of Economics and said that retest of Mathematics, if necessary, would be held in July and for the region of Delhi, Haryana and NCR only. Many had questioned that on what ground the CBSE hinted to hold retest of Class X paper only for Delhi, Haryana and NCR region.

Indore, Aug 3: In a bizarre development, the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted bail to an accused in a sexual harassment case on the condition that he will request the victim to tie a ‘rakhi’ on him with a promise to protect her “to the best of his ability for all times to come”.

Justice Rohit Arya on July 30 also ordered the man to pay Rs 11,000 to the complainant as a “customary ritual usually offered by brothers to sisters” on Raksha Bandhan and seek her blessings while visiting her with his wife and a box of sweets. “The applicant shall also tender Rs 5,000 to the son of the complainant for purchase of clothes and sweets,” the order said.

The court directed the accused to take photographs and receipts of payment made to the victim and her son, which should be filed through his lawyer for placing on record of the case before the Registry.

The victim, a resident of Ujjain district, had alleged that her neighbour, Vikram Bagri, entered her house and sexually harassed her on April 20. The police registered a case under Sections 452 (House-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint), 354 (A) (Sexual harassment and punishment for sexual harassment), 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.

The order said the man, in jail for more than two months, was released on bail, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 with “one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court, on the condition that he shall remain present before the court concerned during trial,” and comply with conditions under Section 437 (3) of CrPC, along with other conditions.

Feb 19: Pay increases across India’s organized sector will probably grow at the slowest pace since 2009 this year, according to a survey from Aon Plc.

Companies will increase average pay by 9.1% in 2020, down from 9.3% in 2019 and 9.5% the previous year, Aon said in a report published Tuesday. The small increase reflects a deep slowdown in Asia’s third-largest economy, where growing pessimism about job prospects have led many to cut down on consumption -- the main driver to growth.

India still leads the Asia-Pacific region in pay rises, but that is mainly due to higher inflation and a “war for key talent and niche skills,” Aon said.

“There is a general air of caution about the economy as we enter into 2020,” Tzeitel Fernandes, partner for rewards solutions at Aon, told reporters in New Delhi. “Low GDP projection and weak consumer sentiment are the reasons behind our lowest ever prediction.”

E-commerce companies and start-ups will probably get the biggest salary increases, projected at an above-average 10%, while financial institutions will hand out 8.5%. Unsurprisingly, the auto sector witnessed the biggest drop in growth -- down to 8.3% from 10.1% in 2018, according to Aon. The survey covered more than 1,000 companies across over 20 industries.
