Karwar, January 7: In a joint operation, Karwar rural police and railway police arrested a woman for carrying drugs in Karwar railway station on Friday morning. According to police, 28-year-old Golma Devi was carrying the 4.25 kg of charas worth Rs 80 lakh.

Superintendent of Police K T Balakrishna said on Friday that Golma hails from Hulu in Himachal Pradesh. "Though Golma was caught red-handed with the bag full of charas, her accomplice Narayan Singh Rathod escaped. Both were carrying the drugs to Goa. Police were checking luggages as part of the Sagara Kavacha mock drill in Karwar railway station when the accused was caught."

"Cops at the railway station observed that Golma and her accomplice were loitering around suspiciously. The cops immediately approached them to check their bags and found a huge quantity of drugs. The final estimation is not out but it's expected to touch Rs 80 lakh," Balakrishna said.

The police are on a lookout for Narayan. "This is the first case where a huge quantity of drugs were seized," he said.

Narayan has been staying in Karwar for four years and was selling vegetables with one Maneshwar Gowda. Meanwhile, Golma alleges that she has no role in drug trafficking. She claimed the bag belonged to Narayan and she wasn't even aware of the contents.

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.
