Inquiry against teacher for uploading damaged school rooms on social media
Jagdish Meena, working as a teacher at the Government Upper Primary School, Sirana in Pali's Rohat area, was directed to explain his actions. He was also summarily transferred to another school in Pali.
Accused of filming the dilapidated condition of the school building and uploading the video to social media, Meena was served a showcause notice after the matter reached Rohat chief block education officer (CBEO) Nandini Sharma.
To ensure that the inquiry against Meena is not influenced, he was transferred from Sirana to Government Upper Primary School, Mandli Darjian, until the investigation is concluded.
Sharma said Meena should have complained to his school principal about the damage to the school building instead of uploading the video on social media. "It's wrong to upload it on social media. He was asked for a written explanation regarding this.

His school was changed while the departmental inquiry is ongoing. He has not been suspended," she added.
The ground behind the action was drawn from the recent video conference (VC) with the Secretary, where clear instructions were given that no photos or videos of the poor condition of the school buildings would be shared on social media by any employee or staff.

Gurgaon horror: Wife plots husband's murder with lover, 3 others; all arrested
Representative Image NEW DELHI: Police in Gurugram have arrested five people, including a woman and her neighbour, for allegedly murdering her husband and concealing his body. The victim, Vikram (37), was a resident of Dundahera village and originally hailed from Nawada in Bihar. His wife, Soni Devi (35), was reportedly in a relationship with the main accused, her neighbour Ravindra (34). According to police, during questioning, Vikram's wife Soni Devi confessed that she and the main accused, her neighbour Ravinder (34), conspired to kill her husband after her daughter discovered an obscene video of them on Ravinder's phone and informed Vikram. Investigators said the duo researched murder methods online before executing the plan. Soni Devi had initially filed a missing complaint for her husband at Udyog Vihar police station on July 28. She filed another complaint on July 31 alleging that Ravindra had raped her in March while her husband was away for work. She claimed that Ravindra had made a video of the incident and threatened that if she told anyone about it, he would make the clip public. Following the initial investigation, police arrested Ravindra, who allegedly confessed to murdering Vikram.

All three were remanded to five days' police custody on Saturday. Additionally, Ravindra's uncle, Santarpal (60), was arrested the same day for helping bury Vikram's body. He, too, was sent to five days' custody on Sunday. Soni Devi, meanwhile, has been sent to judicial remand. It was during interrogation when Ravindra claimed that he and the woman had been in a relationship, according to a police spokesperson. During questioning, Ravindra told police that on July 26, he and his accomplices forcibly pulled Vikram into a car while he was returning home from work. They strangled him with a rope and later buried his body near Mohammadpur Jharsa village. Based on Ravindra's disclosure, the body was recovered from the burial site. Police said Soni Devi admitted to having been in a relationship with Ravindra for about a year. She revealed that Ravindra had recorded an obscene video of them, which her daughter accidentally found on his phone and later informed Vikram. Police said both Ravindra and Soni Devi had actively researched online to plan the murder. "Both the accused, Ravindra and Soni Devi, watched various methods on the Internet and YouTube to kill Vikram and dispose of the body after the murder," said a police spokesperson. As part of the plan, Ravindra approached his uncle, Santarpal, who looks after cattle in Mohammadpur Jharsa village."Ravindra, along with his friends, then killed Vikram and his uncle helped him to bury the body in a pit which was already dug by Santarpal on Ravindra's instructions," the official added. Investigators also confirmed that Soni Devi remained in regular contact with Ravindra by phone during this entire episode. 'In order to mislead the police, she first filed a missing report of her husband on July 28, while the woman knew that her husband had been murdered on July 26 and his body had been buried. We are questioning the accused,' the spokesperson said.

'Tool for Biden's campaign': Trump administration accuses former special counsel Jack Smith of political bias; investigation launched
Former special counsel Jack Smith (Image credits: AP) Federal officials have launched an investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith after US President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers accused him of engaging in illegal political activity during his investigations into Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. The US office of special counsel (OSC), an independent federal agency, confirmed to NBC News on Saturday that it is looking into Smith for possible violations of the Hatch Act- a law that bars certain political activities by federal employees. The OSC is distinct from the justice department's special counsel's office, which Smith led during his investigation into Trump. While the OSC cannot bring criminal charges, it can recommend disciplinary action such as removal from the federal workforce. It may also refer findings to the Department of Justice, although that is uncommon. Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., formally requested the investigation on Wednesday, accusing Smith of 'unprecedented interference in the 2024 election.' Smith was appointed special counsel by then-attorney general Merrick Garland in November 2022, just three days after Trump announced his presidential bid. He later brought two criminal indictments against Trump in 2023 but stepped down from the role slightly more than a week before Trump's inauguration in January 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your IQ Is 140 If You Can Answer 10 of These Questions Correctly. IQ International Undo Neither case reached trial. 'Jack Smith's legal actions were nothing more than a tool for the Biden and Harris campaigns,' Cotton said in a post on X Wednesday. 'This isn't just unethical, it is very likely illegal campaign activity from a public office.' Cotton also claimed Smith pushed for a 'rushed trial' of Trump, though he has not released specific evidence of illegal conduct. Hatch Act violations are rarely referred to the DOJ. In 2019, the OSC recommended then-President Trump remove White House counselor Kellyanne Conway for Hatch Act violations, but the issue did not lead to prosecution. Meanwhile, Trump's nominee to lead the OSC, Paul Ingrassia, remains stalled in the senate. A White House official said that Ingrassia, a former podcast host with a history of controversial remarks, is currently holding one-on-one meetings with senators as part of the confirmation process.

Yogi warns of NSA, Gangster Act for illegal drone use, spreading rumours
Agra: UP CM Yogi Adityanath has warned that individuals operating drones without official permission or spreading rumours and misinformation about them to create panic will be prosecuted under the Gangster Act, and in serious cases, the National Security Act (NSA) will also be invoked. He instructed senior officials to step up district-wise drone surveillance, strengthen patrolling, and ensure all violations are dealt with firmly. The directive comes amid a series of mob attacks triggered by false claims of thieves using drones to scout homes they target in western UP. During a review meeting with senior police officers, Yogi said that unauthorised use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was banned in the state and any misuse would attract legal action. He added that drone misuse would not be tolerated. "Anyone using drones illegally or for creating panic will not be spared. If required, the NSA will be used," the CM said. The 'misinformation' about drones has triggered community-led patrolling, physical assaults, and mob action against mentally disabled persons and outsiders mistaken for gang members. In some areas, residents formed vigilante groups and launched independent crackdowns based purely on unverified drone sightings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo The warning comes days after a 50-year-old mentally unstable man was lynched by a mob in Bareilly's Bhojipura area, and "outsiders" were caught and thrashed at night by locals in parts of western UP on suspicion of being "drone thieves" -- people presumed to use drones to recce an area before targeting houses for burglary or arson. Sensing public disorder, UP police have already launched night patrols from 11pm to 3am in some areas, along with awareness campaigns with village heads, and created a "drone register" to identify legitimate operators. Police further clarified that drone use at night has been barred completely to prevent chaos and panic. There have also been several arrests of "drone rumour suspects" in Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad and Bareilly, along with some of those involved in "mob attacks". In the latest such case in Muzaffarnagar, three persons were held for allegedly using pigeons fitted with LED lights -- in the night sky -- to mimic drone activity and purportedly spread fear. On Saturday night, a 55-year-old mentally challenged person roaming in a village in the district was targeted by locals. Three men were later arrested. SSP Sanjay Kumar Verma said six people have been arrested in the district so far for spreading "drone thief" rumours. In Meerut, eight people were arrested on Saturday. SSP Vipin Tada said cyber surveillance teams also tracked misinformation on social media platforms, so far detecting 19 fake posts on Instagram, seven on Facebook and two on X (formerly Twitter). Late on Friday, a 22-year-old woman working in Noida, who was on a visit to her boyfriend's house in Bareilly, was tied to a pole and mercilessly thrashed by residents after being mistaken for part of a "drone thief gang".
