Hunt for culprits scares 'genuine' evaluators

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. For fear of getting caught in the police raids following the Ch Charan Singh University evaluation scam, even those city teachers who obtained the answer sheets from the Meerut university legitimately, are busy getting rid of the "incriminating" documents.

Over the past few days, thousands of Meerut university's answer sheets have been found abandoned in the fields on the outskirts of Agra, indicating that not only the evaluation racket but even the teachers who were directly engaged by the university for evaluation are in no mood to be found in possession of the documents.

An FIR has been lodged against one Dr Rajnikant under section 420 and 201 of IPC for allegedly distributing the answer sheets to bogus examiners for evaluation.

All through Tuesday, the police raided the residents of some teachers at Agra university's Khandari campus in search of the copies, after clues indicated that these teachers too had been engaged in the evaluation of the Ch Charan Singh University answer sheets.

This has infuriated the teachers who legitimately obtained the answer sheets for evaluation, with the Agra University Teachers Union condemning the police actions. The union alleges the raids are to "defame... qualified teachers".

NSA on accused?
The Agra administration is planning to confine the accused under National Security Act in Ch Charan Singh University evaluation scam, though legal experts are still unclear about the applicability of the Act in such case. Till now five arrests have been made in the scam, including university registrar BL Arya's son, RP Singh and four undergraduates.

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
