with the latter's validation.
The complainant approached the Principal in March, requesting a duplicate copy of his service record book with updated details, along with a stamp and signature of the Principal. The accused duo, identified as teacher Shahajan Moulana and Principal Z M Ansari, demanded Rs 50,000 from the complainant, claiming it was required for processing the same. Subsequently, the duo increased their demand by another Rs 10,000, citing miscellaneous expenses like clerical work, typing, and revenue stamp charges, among others, ACB officials said.

Officials informed that as the complainant was initially hesitating to comply with the demand, Shahajan took him into confidence and claimed that the demand was justified as he also followed the same process for securing a duplicate record book in the past.

The complainant apparently suspected some foul play and approached the ACB, who laid a trap and asked him to meet the accused Shahajan at the designated spot in the latter's office on May 1. A team of ACB sleuths, waiting for Moulana to arrive and accept the bribe amount, caught him red-handed. Subsequently, the Principal was also detained. The duo was booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act, but no formal arrests were made, informed the official.

Stay home to not get raped: traffic cops-sponsored signs
1 2 Ahmedabad: 'Attending late-night parties could invite rape or gang rape'. 'Do not take your friend to dark, isolated areas. What if there is a rape or gang rape?' This is what posters on 'women's safety' sponsored by the city traffic police say in big bold letters. Their sexist, alarmist and fear-mongering nature has invited widespread anger and raised questions about city traffic police's judgment and accountability. The posters in Gujarati were seen plastered on dividers in areas like Sola and Chandlodia, with several of them carrying the name of a group called 'Satarkta', and mentioning Ahmedabad traffic police as a sponsor. Top police officers, including Neeta Desai, DCP (Traffic West) and Shailesh Modi, ACP (Traffic Admin) confirmed that permission was indeed granted to Satarkta to put up posters "for traffic awareness". But when the contentious content of the posters went viral on social media and backlash erupted, police distanced themselves from the controversy. "The posters have now been removed," said Modi, admitting they appeared "indecent". N N Chaudhary, additional commissioner of police (traffic), also clarified that Satarkta Group, reportedly run by a local scribe, was allowed to put up traffic awareness posters, not messages laced with threats of sexual violence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chuck Norris Begs Seniors: Avoid These 3 Foods Completely Undo "We never approved such language.

"How could posters with such insensitive messaging that indirectly blame women for sexual violence be allowed to go up under official sanction? What kind of scrutiny was done before permission was given?" asked Ghatlodia resident Dr Bhumi Patel. Gayatri Shah, a fitness trainer from Bodakdev, said the posters reduced women's safety to moral policing. "They undermine the very idea of public awareness by peddling fear and control instead of responsibility and protection," she said. "These posters reflect a mindset that blames victims and absolves institutions of their failure to ensure safety without having to resort to fear-mongering," said Nehrunagar resident Minal Solanki.

Kin cremate caste killing victim's body after 5 days
Tirunelveli: The mortal remains of scheduled caste (SC) youth C Kavin Selva Ganesh were laid to rest at his native place, Arumugamangalam at Eral in Tuticorin district, on Friday as his family agreed to accept the body after protesting for more than five days. The family has been demanding justice for Kavin, who was murdered by his girlfriend's brother Surjith who opposed their relationship as the woman belonged to the most backward community. On Friday morning, Kavin's mortal remains were handed over to his parents and relatives at Tirunelveli govt medical college hospital after post-mortem. Municipal administration minister K N Nehru and Tirunelveli collector R Sukumar paid tributes to the body which was then transported to Arumugamangalam amid police security.

Tamil Nadu State Commission for SC/STs chairperson S Tamilvanan handed over a cheque of Rs 6 lakh as compensation to Kavin's family and assured prompt legal action in the case. "We will pressure the state and central govts to enact a separate law for handling caste killings. Caste violence affects the whole society. Any woman above 18 years of age and man above 21 years of age should be free to pick their partner of their choice for marriage," said Tamilvanan, chairing a review meeting in Tirunelveli. He also recommended ensuring protection for Kavin's family. Kavin's murder case was transferred to CBCID on Wednesday. S Surjith, 21, the brother of S Subashini, the woman who was reportedly in a relationship with Kavin, was arrested for the murder and detained under the Goondas Act. Later, their father Saravanan, a police sub-inspector attached to Tamil Nadu Special Police (TSP), was also arrested. Their mother, Krishnakumari, who is also an SI attached to TSP, was suspended along with Saravanan but not arrested, though booked in the case. Tirunelveli city police have clarified that there were no previous police complaints against Kavin regarding the love affair and no police officer threatened Kavin or his family members.
