Facing expulsion, divorced Pak woman in Bareilly urges PM to allow her to stay or take daughter along
Meerut: Facing imminent expulsion from the country in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack , a Pakistani woman pleaded with Indian authorities to allow her to stay with her young children after her marriage ended in violence and divorce, leaving her vulnerable in Bareilly . Iram Hasan , 38, who holds a Pakistani passport, sought intervention after authorities ordered her to leave India by May 1, following recent govt directives. Iram, a resident of Lahore, married Mohd Athar, a Bareilly local, in Pakistan in Oct 2008 and moved to India after six months. Nine people from India attended their wedding. Over the past decade, she made several visits to India to be with her two children: a son, Shahnoor, now 17, and a daughter, Ayesha, 7. Shahnoor studies at Central School in Bareilly. Breaking down as she spoke to TOI, Iram said, "It's difficult to leave my daughter behind. She is too young." She added, "My son can remain here for his education. My husband left me and my aunt is old. Who will take care of them in India? I appeal to PM Narendra Modi, requesting permission to take my daughter with me as I depart India." On June 11, 2024, Iram faced physical abuse from her husband, who then gave her triple talaq and forced her out of their home. Since then, she has stayed at her aunt's house in Bareilly, fearing for her safety due to threats from her inebriated husband, who allegedly intimidated her and the children with a knife. A court case over the triple talaq was filed. Her situation worsened after the Union home ministry recently issued directives to enforce stricter rules on long-staying foreign nationals, especially those whose visas had expired or whose legal cases were resolved. In line with the new policy, authorities across Uttar Pradesh initiated expulsion proceedings against such individuals. Vijay Rana, circle officer, LIU, told TOI, "The woman filed a case against her husband and was asked to stay till the case is pending. However, in the wake of recent govt orders, she withdrew from the cases and shall leave the country in a day or two. We are following the procedure."

Recruitment exams: Gang of imposters busted, 3 held
Bhopal: Misrod Police on Tuesday claimed to have arrested a gang involved in impersonating candidates in competitive recruitment exams . Acting swiftly on a tip-off, the police arrested three individuals, including the impersonator, the original candidate, and the mastermind behind the operation. Police also seized a tablet, two mobile phones, ID cards, and approximately Rs 1.5 lakh in cash from the accused. Misrod SHO Manish Raj Bhadouria said that the incident took place during a CBSE recruitment examination held at Central School, CRPF Camp, Bangrasia, Misrod. The school principal and exam centre superintendent reported a suspicious individual attempting to take the exam in place of a registered candidate named Bablesh Meena. Acting on the report, the Misrod Police, under the leadership of SHO Bhadouria, quickly arrived at the scene and took the impersonator into custody. SHO Bhadouria said that during initial questioning, the suspect claimed to be Bablesh Meena, a resident of Dausa, Rajasthan. However, discrepancies in language and further verification with Dausa police led to the revelation of his true identity as Sonu Kumar Mishra, a 31-year-old resident of Kadamkuan, Patna, Bihar, originally from Madhubani. SHO Bhadouria said that Sonu Kumar confessed that he met the middleman/mastermind Jaswant Meena during his studies in Patna. Jaswant brokered a deal for Sonu to appear in the exam on behalf of Bablesh Meena for a sum of Rs 4 lakh, while he himself was to profit Rs 6 lakh from the total Rs 10 lakh deal with Bablesh. As part of the arrangement, Rs 2 lakh was paid in advance, out of which Rs 50,000 was given to Sonu Kumar. He flew to Bhopal from Delhi on April 19, stayed at a hotel overnight, and reached the exam centre on April 20, posing as Bablesh Meena. However, biometric verification failed, leading to police intervention and his arrest. Following technical analysis and interrogation of Sonu Kumar, police were able to track down and arrest the mastermind Jaswant Meena and the original candidate Bablesh Meena. The arrested individuals are: Sonu Kumar Mishra, 31, from Patna (originally Madhubani, Bihar); Jaswant Meena, 30, from Inda Nagar, Jagatpura, Jaipur; and Bablesh Meena, 27, from Khilchipur village, Salempur, Dausa district, Rajasthan. The police have registered a case and further investigation is ongoing.

Mar. 7—BROWNVILLE — Inside General Brown Junior-Senior High School on Thursday night, 18 of the top spellers from tri-county school districts took the stage to flex their spelling abilities. The annual Scripps Regional Spelling Bee concluded with a fourth-consecutive win for seventh grader Micah R. Sterling. The General Brown Central School student finished in first place after correctly spelling "gingivitis." "Most of (the words) I knew, but some of them caught my eye," Micah said after the bee. Micah started studying hard in January, his father Sean said. Micah will be heading to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May, the 100th year of the competition. Micah finished 22nd, out of 245 contestants from across the country, at last year's national competition. He moved up considerably after finishing 74th in 2023 and 89th in 2022. Micah said that his goal for this year is to finish better than 22nd. "It's a whole different ball game down there," Micah's dad, Sean Sterling, said. "It's a real spectacle and this year's the 100th year so it should be fun." Micah's mom Crystal said she is proud of her son. "He's taken on more of his own studying this year," she said. "We've kind of taken him by the hand all around through but this year he's done a lot more on his own and he's just showing more initiative and doing the work." Micah will receive a one-year subscription to the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Online dictionary; the Samuel Louis Sugarman Award, 2025 United States Mint Proof Set courtesy of Jay Sugarman; a one-year subscription to Britannica Online Premium courtesy of Encyclopedia Britannica; digital access to the Watertown Daily Times for the rest of the school year; and a $50 gift card to Jreck Subs for finishing in first place. In second place was Johann Enriquez, of Carthage Central School, who won a Watertown Daily Times digital subscription for the remainder of the school year, and a $25 Jreck Subs gift card. Finishing in third place was Catherine Wilay, also from Carthage Central. She brings home digital access to the Watertown Daily Times and a $10 Jreck Subs gift card. The other students competing Thursday night included Jonah E. Aucter, of Beaver River Central School; Liam P. Goldie, of Clifton-Fine Central School; Lucas Valley, of Belleville-Henderson Central School; Felix P. Castro, of General Brown Central School; and Alexis L. Mandap, of Indian River Central School. Also competing were Sawyer N. Robirds, of Indian River Central School; Owen M. Pitrik of LaFargeville Central School; Adele D. Andrews of Lowville Academy and Central School; Claire Phillips of Sackets Harbor Central; Julia H. M. Janz, of South Jefferson Central School; River C. Rolando, of South Jefferson Central School; James H. McDonough, of Thousand Islands Central School; Rielley P. Schoen, of the Town of Webb Union Free School District; Lucas J. LorJuste, of Watertown City School District; and Sophia Goebert, of Watertown CIty School District. The bee is sponsored by the Watertown Daily Times and Jreck Subs in coordination with the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. The bee had 18 contestants from 14 school systems in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. Students from fifth grade through eighth grade were among those competing. For those looking to compete next year, they better bring their "A" game. Micah said he hopes to be back in the competition.
