Paper leak rocks Agra varsity again

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Question paper leaks in competitive examinations have become a routine feature these days. The AIIMS incident is just a speck of the big picture.

However, while the CBI is cracking down on the culprits, involved in desecrating the highest medical entrance test in the country, the Dr BR Ambedkar University of Agra is setting new records in paper leaks.

Barely a year after the sensational leakage of CPMT-2005 and BCom. question papers in the University, that even caused a University employee to commit suicide after he was charged for the paper leak, two question papers for BCom-III and BSc-I were again leaked on Friday morning in the Kasganj town of Etah after which the University was forced to cancel the examination for the leaked question papers.

According to senior superintendent of police Etah Rajesh Kumar Rai, the police had received information that the question papers for the University examinations will be leaked and acting upon this information, the police raided a few places in the town. It was there that they captured two youth possessing solved copies of the question papers, shortly after the examination began at the Kothiwala Adhatiya college of the town.

The SSP said that there was concrete evidence that the question paper had been leaked from the University itself as the packet arriving at the college had some question papers missing at the time of its arrival and these could have been slipped out of the packet before it was being sealed. This was something not possible without the involvement of the university staff.

He said that so far the university had not filed any FIR in the paper leak incident. The police had itself taken cognizance of the paper leak and had taken action accordingly.

Though shortly after the news of the paper being leaked in Kasganj and other neighbouring towns of Agra, the university cancelled the examination on these question papers it chose to refrain from filing an FIR in this paper leak incident, very much on the lines of the BCom and CPMT paper leaks last year, when despite the State's Special Task Force investigating the case and pointing out the possible involvement of the university staff in the CPMT paper leak, the university chose to ignore the facts revealed by STF and gave its staff a clean chit after a perfunctory internal inquiry.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
