Edu dept pulls the plug on two more FIITJEE centres over illegal ops
Noida: The education department has cancelled the registration of two FIITJEE centres in the city, marking another setback for the coaching company already embroiled in a controversy over abrupt closures of classes across Delhi-NCR.
The district inspector of schools (DIOS) revoked the licences of the centres in Knowledge Park 3 and Sector 62, citing unauthorised operations following the previous owner's departure. The centres, with around 500 students enrolled in them, continued functioning without renewed registration, prompting legal scrutiny.
The controversy unfolded when Ramesh Batlish, the former head of FIITJEE's Noida centres, approached the DIOS office in April, alleging misuse of his credentials after his departure in Jan.
"After thorough investigation, the registration for both FIITJEE centres was cancelled with immediate effect. Parents are hereby notified that any new enrolments by these centres will be illegal," said Dharamveer Singh, DIOS, Noida.
An inspection revealed that the centres were operating under 'FIITJEE Franchise Global Limited', managed by Mohit Rajput, who presented a memorandum of understanding during the inspection.

"The institutes were not even listed as FIITJEE Private Ltd. A notice was issued to Rajput seeking clarification," Singh added.
In Jan this year, the abrupt shutdown of a Raj Nagar centre left over 800 engineering aspirants stranded weeks before their JEE (Mains) and board examinations. The incident led to multiple FIRs.

From red flags to American flags: Trump keeps Tesla, Musk keeps quiet; 'big, beautiful' feud over?
Elon Musk and Donald Trump (R) Just days after calling for US President Donald Trump 's impeachment, Elon Musk is now softening his stance, offering indirect praise and patriotic emojis for the administration, in a dramatic shift after what had been dubbed the 'big, beautiful breakup' between the two giants. The rapid shift in tone comes after a public and messy split between the tech mogul and the US president. Last week, Musk's social media posts took direct aim at Trump, accusing him, without evidence, of appearing in documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and demanding his removal from office. But by the weekend, many of those posts had vanished. As clashes between demonstrators and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers escalated in LA, Musk threw his weight behind the administration's firm stance on immigration enforcement. He reposted Vice President JD Vance's message that the 'president will not tolerate rioting and violence,' adding a string of American flags. Musk has long voiced support for closed borders and stricter immigration controls, positions closely aligned with Trump's own policies. Tech billionaire also amplified a post from Trump on Truth Social demanding apologies from California governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass over the chaos in the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'They should apologize to the people of Los Angeles,' Trump wrote, as images of burning cars and violent confrontations flooded social media. In a gesture that signals a possible thaw in tensions, President Trump announced Monday that he would not sell the Tesla he purchased from Elon Musk—despite their recent public fallout. The car, acquired during friendlier times as a symbolic move to promote American-made electric vehicles, was reportedly intended for White House use rather than personal driving. Following the clash between the two, there had been speculation that Trump might sell or give away the vehicle. However, the President clarified he had no plans to part with it. 'I could move it around,' Trump said, 'but I won't sell the car.' He also confirmed he had no intention of cutting ties with Musk's Starlink satellite service, further suggesting that a complete break between the two may not be in the cards. In another surprising turn, Musk re-followed White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, one of the architects of the administration's immigration policy -- after unfollowing him during last week's feud. The move stirred speculation, especially given that Miller's wife, Katie Miller, recently left her White House post to work with Musk full-time. The Millers had been regulars at Musk's social gatherings, and their proximity to both camps has made them the subject of White House gossip amid the falling out. Katie Miller declined to comment. Musk also moved to quash viral rumours that had fanned the flames of the feud. When his AI chatbot Grok seemingly confirmed a fake post showing Musk telling Miller 'Just like I took your wife,' Musk replied, 'No, it's fake ffs I never posted this.' Despite the apparent thaw, Musk has not fully abandoned criticism. Over the weekend, he took more subtle jabs at the president's sweeping domestic policy proposal, nicknamed the 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill'—which recently passed the House and is now under Senate review. Wall Street, however, seems to be welcoming the détente. Tesla's stock rebounded 4.6% on Monday, though it remains below levels seen before last week's dramatic fallout. 'While we do not expect Trump and Musk to be back to their Mar-a-Lago connected at the hip days, it would not be a surprise to see Trump and Musk slowly mend the fences (with the help of intermediaries behind closed doors) over the coming months,' wrote WedBush analyst Dan Ives. 'At the end of the day Trump needs Musk to stay close to the Republican party and Musk needs Trump for many reasons including a green light on a federal framework for autonomous [vehicles]. ' On Monday afternoon, Trump himself struck a more conciliatory tone when asked about Musk. 'We had a good relationship, I wish him well, very well,' the president told reporters at the White House. But when asked if he would answer Musk's call, Trump paused: 'I haven't really thought about it actually. I would imagine he wants to speak to me, I would think so.'

8-yr RI for man who raped woman with schizophrenia in '18
Mumbai: Observing that he exploited the vulnerability of a stranded woman with schizophrenia after she accepted a lift from him, a sessions court sentenced a 38-year-old Dahisar man to eight years of rigorous imprisonment for her rape and physical assault in 2018. T he court noted that the crime committed by Pradeep Tiwari would have traumatised the woman, "especially as she is a patient of paranoid schizophrenia". But it gave him just a year more than the minimum sentence of seven years—the crime attracts a maximum punishment of life imprisonment—reasoning that he had a family, he could be reformed, and he was unaware at the time of raping the woman that she had schizophrenia. "The manner in which the offence was committed has also not been proved to have been brutal in the extreme so as to make the accused liable for the maximum punishment prescribed," said additional sessions judge S J Ansari, who also fined Tiwari Rs 41,000. The time spent by Tiwari in prison since his arrest on Feb 23, 2018, will be set off against his sentence. Forensic evidence played a crucial role in his conviction. DNA analysis of semen stains found on the woman's undergarment matched the DNA profile obtained from Tiwari's blood samples. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The judge noted that the woman's deposition remained unshaken during cross-examination, and her account was corroborated by medical evidence and the forensic report. The woman had left a lodge in Vasai after an altercation with an acquaintance early on Jan 13, 2018. She took an auto for Dahisar station but was dropped midway. She accepted a lift from Tiwari, who was on a bike. He took her to a secluded building, assaulted her with a stone and raped her. He later left her at a tea stall, from where she returned home and confided in her mother.

Mau's MP-MLA court to hear Ansari plea today
1 2 Varanasi: Disqualified MLA Abbas Ansari's appeal against his sentencing in the 'Hisab kitab' hate speech episode by the CJM (MP-MLA) court was filed before the session court of Mau district on Monday. Ansari's advocate Daroga Singh said that the appeal was moved before the sessions court on Monday, which transferred the case to the court of ADJ (MP-MLA) Rajiv Vats where the hearing will take place on Tuesday. Through this appeal, Ansari challenged the May 31 CJM (MP-MLA) court decision of sentencing him to two years of imprisonment, he added. On the next day of sentencing him by the court, his membership from the state Assembly was terminated. Ansari was sentenced in a case of hate speech lodged against him on March 4, 2022, after his speech delivered at a meeting in the Paharpur area on March 3, 2022, went viral on social media. While contesting the 2022 Assembly polls from the Mau Sadar seat as a Samajwadi Party-Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party alliance candidate, Ansari, in his Paharpur speech on March 3, 2022, stated, "After the formation of the SP-led govt, the officials would have to give 'hisab-kitab' (account) of their work of the past regime before getting transferred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo " Ansari won the election, but he went to jail following his arrest by the Prayagraj unit of the ED in a money laundering case in Feb 2023. He came out of jail last March. The court, in its 48-page judgment, commented, "The accused has a criminal history and several serious criminal records are also associated with his family members. The family of the accused Abbas Ansari has held the Legislative Assembly seat of Mau Sadar for nearly 20 years. During his election campaign, Abbas Ansari gave a speech from the stage threatening to settle scores with state govt officials after the elections, which could have disrupted communal harmony. Therefore, it does not seem appropriate to give a lesser punishment to the accused."
