Bengaluru, Apr 4: After identifying a few people, including a couple of teachers, as suspects in the II PU Chemistry question paper leak, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has set out on a massive manhunt for the prime suspect.

PUThe CID sleuths have also narrowed down on a few government school teachers, engineers of Public Works Department and officials from DPUE who could be part of the racket.

However, their links could be established only after the arrest of the suspected kingpin — identified as Kiran, an LIC agent from Tumakuru, said a senior police officer. The prime suspect was identified after the CID sleuths questioned the students who received the leaked paper on WhatsApp.

The suspect is on the run and has even switched off his mobile phone, but a team is constantly monitoring his movements and will nab him soon, a CID officer said. He, however, refused to divulge more details about the suspect.

The probe so far has revealed that several lakhs rupees had exchanged hands, the officer said. CID officials have questioned over 100 suspects with alleged links to the re-exam paper leak. The police have also questioned the 40 DPUE officials who were suspended after the March 31 incident.

Results may be delayed

Meanwhile, a possible delay in the announcement of results of II PUC is expected as the Department of Pre-University Education is bogged down with worries of lecturers boycott of evaluation. Further, the evaluators have to be relieved midway through the evaluation work to allow them to join their examination centres to conduct the chemistry paper re-examination on April 12.

The evaluation of SSLC examination answer scripts is also likely to be hit as the Karnataka State High School Assistant Masters' Association after a meeting on Sunday decided to boycott evaluation

Meanwhile, Pre-University students who on Sunday wrote the offline Joint Entrance Examination (main) for entrance in undergraduate engineering programs at NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded technical institutions found the examination moderately tough.

Mangaluru, May 30: Accusing the chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka government of ignoring frontline warriors against covid-19, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded immediate release of pending salaries of doctors, lab technicians and nurses hired under the National Health Mission.

Addressing a press conference in the city today, the former minister said that Congress would launch an agitation if the government fails to release the amount immediately.

The non-payment of salaries clearly shows that the government has no concern for the COVID-19 warriors who are serving on a contract basis for two months, he said.

Mr Khader said there are 23,000 personnel hired under the National Health Mission in Karnataka including 600 in Dakshina Kannada district alone.  All of them are waiting for their salaries for the last two months.

“Asha workers were also partially paid for the month of April. If the government had concern towards COVID-19 warriors, they would have paid extra for the doctors, nurses, and other workers who are working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19 at the grassroots level,” he added.

Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020. 

The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded. 

The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country. 

The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.

Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.

Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC. 

As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.
