Teachers, staff involved in unfair means will be taken to task
The State government, in an official statement issued on Tuesday, also stated that the Class X and XII examination results of the students of six CBSE-affiliated schools, including four State government-run Odisha Adarsha Vidyalayas (OAVs), who had sat for the examination at the said examination centres and whose results were withheld by the Board, have also been declared.
Notably, CBSE declared the results of the 2025 Class X and Class XII Board examinations on May 13, 2025. 'However, reports of unfair practices during the examination came to light at two examination centres of Bargarh district, i.e OAV, Bandhupalli and Padampur Public School. Students from six schools appeared for the examination at these two examination centres, which include four OAVs,' added the State government.
Based on the inquiry report shared by CBSE Regional Office, Bhubaneswar, on May 26, the State government noted that after this incident came to light, CBSE constituted a Sub-Committee to probe the matter. It further added that the committee, after examining all evidences, answer books, various reports, CCTV footage and other related documents, established that unfair practices were adopted in these two examination centres. The CBSE has recommended that the State government take stringent action against the erring teachers and staff deployed at the two examination centres during the CBSE Board examinations. 'The State government has taken a serious view of this matter as the use of unfair means in examinations is an injustice to honest, hardworking students and adversely affects their future. As per the recommendation of CBSE, the State government is taking stringent action against the teachers/ staff involved in such irregularities,' informed official sources.
Additionally, the students, who are found to have adopted unfair means as per the report of CBSE on May 26, will appear in the supplementary examination to be held from 15th July 2025 or the CBSE main examination 2026. The State government asserted that it is committed to zero tolerance towards the use of all such unfair means in examinations.

FBI had intel on Clinton-Soros plan to link Trump to Russia, files indicate
Newly declassified documents from the US Department of Justice show that the FBI had information in 2016 about a plan involving Hillary Clinton's campaign and billionaire donor George Soros to spread false claims linking Donald Trump to documents include emails from Leonard Bernardo, a senior official at Soros' Open Society Foundations. According to the Washington Times, these emails suggest a plan to leak Trump-Russia collusion stories to US media outlets through FBI-linked cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike and findings were part of a now-public annex to the 2023 report by DOJ Special Counsel John Durham. His report investigated the origins of the FBI's probe into Trump's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential CAMPAIGN BEHIND THE NARRATIVE Local media reported that one of Bernardo's emails reportedly said, "During the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated technical structures in particular, the Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading US publications."Another email said, "Julie (a Clinton campaign advisor) says it will be a long-term affair to demonise Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire."In a third email, Bernardo noted that Hillary Clinton approved a campaign idea, "Clinton 'approved' of her campaign adviser's 'idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections. That should distract people from her own missing emails."Bernardo also said, "The point is making the Russian play a US domestic issue. In absence of direct evidence, Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media, and GRU (Russia's intelligence agency) will hopefully carry on to give more facts."DECLASSIFIED REPORT REVEALS FBI FAILURESAccording to the annexe, which was declassified at Senator Charles Grassley's request, the FBI knew about this information. They did not, however, look into whether the Trump-Russia allegations were the product of the Clinton the FBI used the now-discredited Steele Dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC), to justify spying on Trump's campaign adviser, Carter report claimed that the FBI also submitted false applications for surveillance warrants to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). The FBI decided not to investigate the Russia-collusion story even though they had information that it might have been politically motivated.- EndsTrending Reel

Terror Accused To MP To Acquittal: Behind The Fall And Rise Of Pragya Thakur
"Blessing in disguise" and "opportunity in adversity" are phrases that have proven true for Pragya Singh, the saffron-clad woman from Madhya Pradesh, whom her followers address as a sadhvi. In 2008, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) labelled her a "terrorist," but that very tag paved her way to a seat in the Lok Sabha. She was elected Member of Parliament (MP) from Bhopal on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket. On September 29, 2008, a powerful blast tore through Malegaon, a town in northern Maharashtra. Initially, the ATS suspected the involvement of banned Muslim extremist organisations like the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), as prior blast cases across India had revealed the role of Pakistani and homegrown terror groups. However, the ATS, led by the late IPS officer Hemant Karkare, shocked the nation with its findings. They revealed that the Malegaon blast was an act of "saffron terror," with all perpetrators being Hindus. This was unsettling, as it was one of the first cases in recent decades, at least of this magnitude, where Hindus were accused of such a terrorist act. The ATS investigation traced the blast to a motorcycle, which led them to Pragya Singh. The bomb was allegedly planted on the bike, which belonged to her. Pragya Singh, the daughter of an ayurvedic practitioner and a motorcycle enthusiast, is from Bhind in Madhya Pradesh. During her student days, she was associated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). In later years, she joined several other RSS-affiliated women's organisations. The ATS arrested her, and after interrogating her and other accused, concluded that she was the mastermind of the Malegaon blast, which claimed six lives and left hundreds injured. Pragya Singh alleged she was tortured in ATS custody and made specific accusations of ill-treatment against then-ATS chief Hemant Karkare and Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Parambir Singh. She detailed the alleged atrocities in an affidavit filed before the court. Her bitterness toward the ATS was evident in her reaction to the news of Hemant Karkare's death at the hands of Pakistani terrorists on November 26, 2008. She said his death was the result of her curse. The Human Rights Commission conducted an inquiry, but the allegations of torture could not be substantiated. Pragya Singh's arrest occurred when the Congress-NCP alliance ruled Maharashtra, and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA-1) was in power at the centre. The BJP and other allied organisations rallied in her support, alleging that the "saffron terror" narrative was fabricated to appease Muslim voters ahead of the 2009 Maharashtra assembly election. Adding to the sympathy for Pragya Singh was the news of her cancer diagnosis during her incarceration. She caused a stir by claiming she was cured of the disease by consuming cow urine and panchagavya. While the investigating agency portrayed her as the prime conspirator in the Malegaon blast, many rightwing organisations publicised her as a symbol of alleged atrocities against Hindus during the Congress-NCP regime. Capitalizing on this image, the BJP offered her a ticket for the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat in 2019. She won by a margin of 364,822 votes, defeating Congress leader Digvijay Singh. However, the BJP did not field her as a candidate in 2024, choosing Alok Sharma instead. A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court acquitted Pragya Singh and dismissed the prosecution's case. The prosecution failed to prove that the explosives were planted on the motorcycle or that the motorcycle belonged to her. Key figures in the government appeared satisfied with the prosecution's defeat in the legal battle. The government's response suggested it will not challenge the order in a higher court. However, the families of the Malegaon victims have announced their intent to contest the order in the high court.
