CSBC to conduct six-phase written examination for 19,838 constable posts in Bihar from July 16

The Hindua day ago

Ahead of the Assembly election, the Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC) is set to conduct a six-phase written examination for the recruitment of 19,838 constable posts in Bihar, commencing July 16.
The examination will be conducted across 627 centres in all 38 districts of the State on six dates: July 16, 20, 23, 27, 30, and August 3.
'An advertisement to fill up the 19,838 posts of constables was issued on March 11, which was later extended up to April 25. The Board received a total of 17,06,628 online applications for registration. A total of 16,73,586 applications were found valid after scrutiny,' CSBC Chairman and Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jitendra Kumar said at a press briefing in Patna.
During scrutiny, 10,947 applications were found incomplete, 20,940 candidates withdrew their applications, and 1,155 were rejected due to various reasons. 'The final list, after scrutiny, was uploaded to the Board's website on June 6,' Mr. Kumar added.
When asked about the number of female applicants, Mr. Kumar stated, 'Right now, I do not have numbers with me but there is a 35% quota for women and hence the number may not be less than five to six lakh.'
Reiterating the Board's commitment to conduct a fair and transparent examination, Mr. Kumar said, 'Elaborate arrangements are being made by the Board, police headquarters, and the State government. District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police will be given proper guidelines from the top level to ensure fair examination.'
District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police have been appointed as Exam Coordinator and Exam Co-Coordinator, respectively.
Outlining the security protocols, the Chairman said local police are maintaining strict vigilance and collecting intelligence from hostels, lodges, coaching centres, and other potential gathering spots for candidates.
'Exam centres and halls will be monitored through CCTV cameras, and the live feed will be available at the control room of the Board's headquarters. Jammers capable of blocking 5G and Wi-Fi signals will be installed at all centres. Centre Superintendents will be connected via a hotline to ensure smooth conduct,' Mr. Kumar said.
To prevent any undue advantage, candidates will not be allotted centres in their home districts. The Board will announce examination dates and centre details on its official website after June 20, 2025. Allotments will be done through randomisation.
The two-hour examination will begin at 12 noon. Candidates will be allowed entry between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. They are required to bring their e-admit card along with a valid photo identification document such as Aadhaar, passport, PAN card, or EPIC.
Candidates are not required to bring any writing materials, as the Board will provide pens and question booklets at the examination centres.

Meghalaya to strengthen resident safety law in wake of Sohra honeymoon murder

Shillong, In the wake of the sensational honeymoon murder in Sohra, the Meghalaya government on Friday decided to strengthen an existing legislation aimed at ensuring the safety of state residents and curbing the entry of criminal elements posing as tourists. The move comes weeks after the gruesome murder of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, who was killed during a honeymoon trip to Sohra, in a plot orchestrated by his wife and her lover. "The cabinet today decided to revisit the Meghalaya Resident Safety and Security Act , 2016, an existing state legislation, to add more teeth to this Act to minimise the possibility of criminal elements entering Meghalaya in the guise of tourists," Cabinet spokesperson Paul Lyngdoh said after the cabinet meeting here. "The government will soon come up with a formal proposal to further strengthen the MRSSA," he said. The 2016 Act was originally introduced to enhance the security of Meghalaya residents through the vetting of tenants and tourists. It allows for identity verification through a tourism-specific app and has provisions similar to those under the Inner Line Permit system, which the state has long been seeking from the Centre. According to Lyngdoh, the Assembly had adopted a resolution demanding implementation of the Inner Line Permit in Meghalaya. "The matter is pending before the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. There were several queries from the Ministry which the state government had addressed," he said, adding that the Union Ministry had expressed concern since Meghalaya is a transit state to other parts of the North East. The Cabinet minister also informed that the MRSSA is already a very effective legislation, which will need a little bit of "upscale" as of now. The urgency to revisit the Act was triggered by the case involving Sonam, the wife of murdered businessman Raja. She had allegedly conspired to kill her husband along with her lover and his friends, and entered Meghalaya under the guise of a tourist. According to Lyngdoh, the Cabinet placed on record its gratitude to the entire police department for cracking this case in record time and arresting all the accused, saving the state from a "bad name".

How can you expect UIDAI to match fingerprints of 100 crore people?: Madras HC ridicules petition

The Madras High Court on Thursday questioned how Tamil Nadu police could expect the Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ) to compare the fingerprints of an unclaimed body with the Aadhaar data of over 100 crore people to ascertain the identity of the dead. During the hearing, Justice P. Velmurugan said it was 'ridiculous' on the part of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Tindivanam Sub Division, Villupuram district, to have filed a petition seeking a direction to the UIDAI to provide the demographic details of an unidentified body using its fingerprints. 'Our country has a population of 1.4 billion. Assuming 1 billion people had enrolled for Aadhaar so far, do you expect UIDAI to obtain fingerprints of dead bodies, in every unsolved criminal case, and compare them with the biometric data pertaining to 100 crore people?' the judge asked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo He further said that the police should not waste time bringing up such matters with the UIDAI just because they were unable to make a breakthrough in criminal cases involving unknown bodies. "Aadhaar is not the only way to solve a crime, there were other means of investigation too," he said. The petition filed by the DSP was dismissed after Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan, assisted by Central government senior panel counsel K. Srinivasamurthy, said, it would be impossible to compare the fingerprints of the dead with the Aadhaar database and provide demographic information to the police. Live Events The defendant told the court that the UIDAI would be able to do only a one-to-one match, which means it could take the fingerprints and iris scan of an individual holding a valid 12-digit Aadhaar number and find out whether they match with his/her core biometric data obtained while enrolling for Aadhaar.

Boy kills friend for ransom in Bokaro, arrested

1 2 Bokaro: A boy, linked to criminals and desperate to get easy money, kidnapped his school friend but later murdered him in a manner so brutal that even police were left stunned. The gruesome crime took place in the Gamen Colony area under the city police station on Thursday. The accused, identified as Aman Kumar Vats, (19), has been arrested. According to police, Vats lured his schoolmate, 19-year-old Debashish Kumar, to a rented house after calling him out of his house. Vats then made Kumar consume a large amount of alcohol. Once Kumar lost consciousness, Vats tied Kumar's hands and feet, recorded a video from the victim's mobile phone, and sent it to his family with a ransom demand of Rs 25 lakh. Later, Vats got scared of being identified and killed Kumar by strangling him. To hide evidence, he buried the body in a tank of the courtyard of the rented house, covered it with soil, and planted a sapling over it to conceal the crime. Police were alerted after the ransom video was shared by Kumar's family. Using mobile surveillance, they quickly tracked and arrested Vats. Bokaro SP Harvinder Singh confirmed Vat's confession to killing his friend. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Simple. Clean. Solitaire Play Solitaire Download Undo "Based on his statement, we police recovered an iron rod used to dig the grave, as well as the victim's clothes, slippers and liquor bottles from the crime scene," Singh said. Both the accused and the victim were former students of a private and had passed their intermediate exams in 2024. Kumar was preparing for engineering entrance exams while living with his maternal uncle Om Prakash in Sector 3C. His father works in a private company in Odisha. Meanwhile, Vats is a resident of Sector 12A, and his father is employed with the ESL Steel Plant. Kumar's maternal uncle Om Prakash said, "Kumar had left home on June 10 around 2 pm after receiving a call from a friend. His phone was unreachable after that. We registered a missing report on June 11 and later that evening, we received the ransom video. The response by the police led to the recovery of the body and the arrest of Vats." He added, "I believe that such a big crime is not committed by a single youth, police should find the others, too." Preliminary investigations revealed Vats' links with cybercriminals. He had allegedly rented out his bank account to a fraudster, who transferred Rs 11 lakh fraudulently into it. After the account was frozen following a cybercrime by Madhya Pradesh police, Vats was desperate for money, prompting him to commit the heinous crime. Police have seized three mobile phones, an Airtel 4G SIM card, and a 32 GB SanDisk memory card from Vat's possession. Further investigations were underway to identify if Vats had any other accomplices in the crime, the SP added.. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
