Students in Kerala warned against fake website
The General Education department has warned students in the State against falling prey to an organisation based in Uttar Pradesh that offers false certificates through a website.
Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty and Director of General Education Shanavas S. said the current domain name of the Pareeksha Bhavan was https://kbpe.kerala.gov.in
However, the fake website https://kbpe.org offered students facility to download certificates. Often, students realised that the certificates were fake only when institutions sent these to the Pareeksha Bhavan for verification. Students who downloaded these certificates found differences in the marks obtained and even suffered financial loss and other difficulties.
The website was issuing a SSLC marklist out of 600 marks for six subjects - English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Science, and Computer Science, they pointed out.
It had now been found that the website address had been changed to https://www/keralaboard.org
A complaint had been submitted to the police cyber cell to close down the website, they said.
For any doubts, contact the Pareeksha Bhavan.

Tourist Couple's Last 12 Hours In Meghalaya Village Before They Disappeared: What Witnesses Said
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Newlyweds Raja and Sonam Raghuvanshi visited Nongriat, Meghalaya, during their honeymoon but went missing on May 23. Raja's body was found on June 2, while Sonam's search continues, with family fearing kidnapping. Witnesses recall their last 12 hours. Guwahati/Shillong: The 12 hours that a couple from Madhya Pradesh's Indore spent at Nongriat village in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills during their visit to the popular double-decker living root bridge have now been accounted for, according to investigators who spoke with the locals and took their statements. Newly wed couple Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam visited some areas during their honeymoon in Meghalaya before they went missing on May 23. While Raja Raghuvanshi's body was found in a gorge on June 2, a search is still on for his wife. Teams from the police and even the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) are searching for Sonam, whose family said they believe she must have been kidnapped and have not lost hope of finding her. The couple checked into a guesthouse in Meghalaya's capital Shillong on May 21. The next day they hired a scooty and rode to the popular tourist hotspot Sohra (Cherrapunji). After reaching Mawlakhiat village in East Khasi Hills, they kept the scooty at a parking spot run by the local community for tourists, and hired a local guide to trek to a homestay at Nongriat village in the same district. The guide who took them on the trek to Nongriat from Mawlakhiat said it takes nearly three hours and involves descending some 3,000 steps. "The couple called us on May 22; it was late, around 3.30 pm, but I did not refuse and decided to guide them to Nongriat. After dropping them at Shipara Homestay, we left," the guide Bhakupar Wanshai said, adding another guide, Albert Pde, also accompanied them. "We offered our service for the next day (May 23), but they [the couple] refused, saying they know the route," Mr Wanshai said. Mr Wanshai in his police statement said Sonam did most of the talking with them in English. The couple and the two guides reached Shipara Homestay at Nongriat village at 5.30 pm, the woman who runs the homestay said. "On May 22, two guests came to stay here (Shipara Homestay). They came along with guides. I can't recall the exact time... but I think it was around 5 pm. When they arrived here, I showed them the room, and they agreed to stay. While we were sitting here, they asked about the room tariff and fees for the guide, and when to clear the payment, to which I said, 'today'," the homestay owner Sianti Sohkhlet said. She said the couple declined the guide's service for the next day. "I took the money and asked them to sign in the register, and showed them their room. They checked in and left to see the living root bridges after locking the room. They returned after a while. It was already dark. We prepared food and took it to their room. They had dinner and retired for the night," Ms Sohkhlet said. Shipara Homestay is located close to the double-decker living root bridge in Nongriat. "The next morning, I woke up around 5.30 am. The couple said they would check out early, so I asked if they would like to have breakfast. They refused, saying it was too early and they were not hungry," the homestay owner said. "They paid for the food [dinner] and signed out from the register. I asked if they would remember the way, and they said they would, pointing at the stairs before leaving," Ms Sohkhlet said. The couple left the homestay at 6 am on May 23. The last person who saw the couple was the guide Albert Pde. During questioning by the state police, he said he saw the couple at 10 am climbing the 3,000 steps towards Mawlakhiat village along with three men who he believed to be tourists. The couple went missing after that.

Despite BJP's 4-engine govt, daughters not safe: AAP on minor's death
The AAP criticised the ruling BJP and its "four-engine" government over the death and alleged sexual assault of a nine-year-old girl in the national capital, with party chief Arvind Kejriwal saying Union Home Minister Amit Shah should be held accountable. The minor girl's body was found stuffed inside a suitcase in northeast Delhi's Nehru Vihar on Saturday, with police suspecting sexual assault based on initial medical observations. There was no immediate reaction from the BJP. In a post on X, former Delhi chief minister Kejriwal said the law and order situation in Delhi has been destroyed by the BJP. "The rape and murder of a 9-year-old innocent girl in Delhi has shaken everyone to the core," he said. "Even with the BJP's so-called four-engine government, our daughters are not safe. Home Minister Amit Shah and his four-engine government must be held accountable. The daughters of Delhi demand both answers and justice," the AAP supremo posted in Hindi. The BJP refers to its governments at the Centre and state as "double-engine" governments. The AAP referring to the BJP governments at the Centre and in Delhi as well as the LG office and the MCD calls it a four-engine government. Echoing similar views, Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Atishi posted on X, "Who is responsible for the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl in Delhi? Who is responsible for the worsening law and order situation?" Despite a four-engine BJP government, "our daughters are not safe", the ex-CM said. "Where is Chief Minister Rekha Gupta? Where is the Union Home Minister Amit Shah?" she posted in Hindi.
