Over 200 landed teacher jobs with fake degrees in UP, mass recruitment scam busted

India Today4 days ago
The Special Operation Group in Uttar Pradesh has uncovered a massive case involving fake Bachelor of Physical Education (B PEd) degrees in connection with the Physical Education Teacher (PTI) Direct Recruitment Examination 2022.The investigation has revealed that 202 out of 203 appointed candidates used forged mark sheets allegedly issued by JS University, Shikohabad.
SOG ASP Dharmaram Gila led the investigation, which uncovered the fraud using data obtained from the university's server logs. The probe revealed that while JS University is recognized for only 100 seats per academic session in the B PEd course, a staggering 2,082 candidates applied for government jobs citing degrees from the university. This massive discrepancy triggered a deeper investigation.advertisementThe investigation highlighted multiple layers of deceit:25 candidates claimed to have completed their B PEd course from other institutions but submitted JS University mark sheets for verification.26 candidates submitted degrees belonging to sessions that did not align with their claimed academic years.9 individuals provided entirely fake mark sheets.43 candidates submitted degrees from the 2020–2022 academic session, even though the examination was held on September 25, 2022—suggesting post-exam fabrication.Out of the 203 scrutinised degrees spanning the academic sessions 2017–2019, 2018–2020, 2019–2021, and 2020–2022, only one—belonging to Kulraj Singh, son of Prem Singh—was verified as genuine.SOG has identified the involvement of brokers in the preparation and distribution of fake mark sheets. Degree printing data retrieved from the JS University server backup confirmed the manipulation.Authorities are now preparing to file an FIR against the JS University administration and 165 of the implicated candidates. An additional 37 candidates, listed from serial numbers 166 to 202, have already been charged in previous cases for either sending dummy candidates or using fake documents.Further investigations are on.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Charlamagne Tha God tells Lara Trump who he wants to run for president in 2028: ‘I would love to see…'

Popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God revealed in a teaser clip from an upcoming interview with Lara Trump, President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, that he would support a fellow media personality if they decided to run for president in three years. The full interview is set to air this Saturday. Charlamagne Tha God expressed support for Jon Stewart's potential presidential run in 2028 during an interview with Lara Trump.(myviewfnc/Instagram) Also Read: Who Is Joe Gruters?

He added, 'If we're talking about like a change agent coming from the outside that's really going to shake things up and somebody that I feel like can speak to, you know, all people, plus we actually… he's a celebrity who actually knows what they're talking about," as reported by The Daily Beast. Charlampagne pointed out that Stewart has already displayed his leadership by helping get legislation passed. He highlighted Stewart's role in lobbying for the 2022 bill that expanded the healthcare and benefits for veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their service period. He also went ahead to suggest another media person from late late-night roster who would work well alongside Stewart. Charlampagne said, 'Maybe a Jon Stewart-[Stephen] Colbert ticket, because, you know, Colbert's not going to have a job. He's not working because of President Trump, so they say.' The remark came after CBS recently announced that it will be axing Stephen Colbert's The Late Show in 2026. While CBS persisted that financial reasons were the factor behind the decision, there were speculations of Trump's influence. This came just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS parent company Paramount for settling a defamation case with Trump for $16 million. The Late Show host called the settlement amount a 'big fat bribe,' noting it came just before Paramount's planned merger with Skydance, which still needs approval from the Trump-appointed head of the Federal Trade Commission.

Pakistans opposition alliance slams hybrid model, demands change in system

Islamabad, Aug 1 (PTI) A coalition of Pakistan's six opposition parties Friday slammed the current 'hybrid" political system and called for a national dialogue aimed at creating a new democratic charter. Leaders of the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Aayeen-e-Pakistan or TTAP (the movement for protection of the constitution of Pakistan) made the demand during a press conference here on the second day of their multi-party conference. TTAP, which formed last year and formalised its organisational structure last month, pledged support for all anti-government protests and said they discussed the prevailing political conditions during their conference. 'The parties participating in the TTAP and its All-Party Conference (APC) agreed that at this time there is an urgent need for a new democratic charter among all political parties and political forces," TTAP leader Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said while presenting the alliance's resolution. 'As a result of the constant attacks of the hybrid system, the Constitution of Pakistan, the human rights given in it from Articles 8 to 11, and the parliamentary democratic system have become meaningless, and today the social contract between the people and the state has been shattered. 'Therefore, for the new charter, a complete consensus should be reached among all the political forces in the country after a national dialogue," it read. The 'hybrid model' that the group referred to was first mentioned by Defence Minister Khwaja Asif, a close aide of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. On June 20, Asif said Pakistan is being governed under a 'hybrid model" in which the military enjoys a major power share. The TTAP said that political consensus was needed on the supremacy of the Constitution and parliament, the rule of law, the judiciary's independence and the appointment of a free and independent Election Commission. The resolution also drew attention to the socio-economic condition of Pakistan and said, 'This has never been the case in the history of Pakistan. All the participating parties of the conference decided that a comprehensive and common strategy is needed to bring the country out of the current channels." The alliance condemned the 'unjust imprisonment" of former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, demanding their early release and immediate appointment of their pending cases in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and the Supreme Court for immediate hearing. It also criticised the recent sentencing against scores of leaders and workers of Khan's party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and also took a shot at the judiciary for failing to uphold the law. Meanwhile, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, in his reaction to the group's demand, said it aimed to sabotage the economy. Tarar also alleged that whenever important diplomatic meetings are due, such as the upcoming visit of the Iranian president, such events take place. Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian will visit Pakistan on Saturday to hold talks with the country's top leadership on enhancing bilateral ties as well as the recent Iran-Israel conflict.
