SOG arrests 3 govt employees for role in 2021 SI paper leak
Jaipur: Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police Thursday arrested three govt officials in connection with the 2021 Sub-Inspector recruitment examination paper leak case, further unravelling a complex web of corruption in the recruitment process. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The arrests include two assistant accounts officers (AAOs)—Purushottam Dadhich (35) and Sandeep Kumar Lata (43)— and a Grade III teacher, Kundan Kumar Pandya (54), as confirmed by DIG (SOG) Paris Deshmukh. Dadhich, a resident of Didwana-Kuchaman, was already placed under suspension by the medical and health department in Udaipur where he was serving, while Lata, a resident of Sikar, was posted at the treasury and accounts department in Jaipur. Pandya was posted at a govt primary school in Palwada, Dungarpur. The TOI reported on Jan 5 that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) mentioned in its report that Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) member Babu Lal Katara, who was arrested in the same case, allegedly handed over six sets of the 2021 SI exam question papers to commission colleague Ramu Ram Raika. These were later leaked to Dadhich also, who allegedly circulated them for profit nearly a month before the exam. Investigators believe that Katara's association with Dadhich during the former's posting in Udaipur facilitated the leak. The investigation has revealed a broader conspiracy than initially suspected. Earlier findings suggested that RPSC member Katara leaked the papers only to benefit his colleague Raika's children—Devesh and Shobha—both of whom were arrested while undergoing SI training in Jaipur. However, recent developments indicate a commercial operation where question papers reached Dadhich and the same were sold to multiple candidates. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the SIT, Dadhich received Hindi and General Knowledge papers weeks before the Sept 2021 examination and collaborated with Lata and Pandya to distribute them to select candidates in exchange for money. Dadhich's role emerged last year following the arrest of trainee sub-inspectors identified as Renu, Surendra Bagadia and Surjeet, who got the exam paper beforehand. However, when the police arrested the trio, Dadhich went underground.

Uttar Pradesh Officer Praises Son's 60% Marks, Urges Parents Not To Pressure Their Children
Aligarh: An Aligarh education officer showed the parents how it's done by celebrating his son's passing the class 12 Board exam with 60 per cent marks. "My son Rishi has passed his intermediate examination with 60 per cent marks. Many many congratulations and best wishes son," Aligarh Basic Shiksha Adhikari Rakesh Singh wrote on X on Tuesday, a few hours after the exam results were announced. In the post, Singh recounted a conversation he had with his son, who asked him if he was angry about the modest score. Singh responded in negative and revealed his own academic record, saying he secured 52 per cent in graduation, 60 per cent in high school, and 75 per cent in intermediate. He also posted the marksheet of the boy in the post. "We can start life from anywhere, anytime," Singh said, as he detailed his struggle with the General Knowledge subject in his graduation entrance at Allahabad University. Yet, he said, he excelled in History in the Public Service Commission exam, securing the first position in his cadre in 2000. "I proved it, it was my stubbornness," he said. Singh appealed to parents to acknowledge the dreams of their children and not to put undue pressure on them. "If you have not been able to succeed, it is okay. It is true that you must have many dreams for your children. You have to fulfil your dreams through your children, but you should not force your children for that," he said. "Life is a test of patience, not knowledge. Children should be supported," he said. Speaking to PTI on Wednesday, Singh said he posted the message for the parents who worry excessively about their children's exam performance. "I believe in ' jab jago tabhi savera ' (It's a new beginning whenever you start). Though the secret behind success is surely hard work, one can do it at any point in life," he said.

‘My Time Has Been Running For 10 Years': Prince Narula Hits Back At Elvish Yadav On Roadies XX
Last Updated: The recent episode was high on drama and heated arguments after gang leaders Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav engaged in a massive fight. Roadies XX, the Rannvijay Sangha-hosted adventure reality show, has been captivating audiences with its never-ending fights and challenging tasks. The recent episode was high on drama and heated arguments after gang leaders Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav engaged in a massive fight and even used derogatory remarks against each other. Not just this, the two went on to mention the latter's snake venom case. It all started after Prince failed to answer a General Knowledge question during a task. Hearing his reply, Elvish jokingly teased him, which didn't go well with the Bigg Boss 9 winner and he reacted strongly. Later on, a little joke led to a massive fight between the two. During the heated exchange, Prince asked Elvish to 'focus on his YouTube career, rather than being here.' The latter, on the other hand, made comments about Prince's age. The situation intensified after the YouTuber told him, 'Take care of your time, ours is already running," to which Prince retorted, 'My time has been running for 10 years." Well, things didn't just stop here as both the leaders brought up legal matters during the heated exchange. Elvish stated, 'Tumhare jaise saanp hote hain jinpe case lag rakhe hain," to which the MTV Splitsvilla 8 winner responded, 'Saanp tere pe case lag rakha hai, humare pe nahi." However, fans seemed divided after the heated episode went on air. While many supported Prince, others sided with Elvish. An X user wrote, 'What audacity the insecure Prince has to attack Elvish personally! Every time he pokes Elvish and he just keeps quiet to give him respect. Has he raised the slap issue again? You're so self-obsessed. Prince, you don't have the quality to be a gang leader." #ElvishYadav — Arry top videos View all Another one commented, 'Elvish Hats off I know it was hard but you handled that fight pretty well. Prince is such a sore loser and jealous soul." One of them stated, 'I really loved this version of Elvish bhai." Apart from Prince and Evlish, the show also features Rhea Chakraborty, Neha Dhupia and Gautam Gulati as gang leaders and Rannvijay Sangha as the host. First Published: April 22, 2025, 12:41 IST
