'Calling to molest again': Lucknow professor offers to leak exam paper to girl student

'Calling to molest again': Lucknow professor offers to leak exam paper to girl student LUCKNOW: Police on Friday took into custody an assistant professor from Lucknow University’s zoology department after registering a case over allegations that he leaked examination question papers in exchange for undue favours and made inappropriate advances towards a female student. The case was lodged at Hasanganj police station on May 15 on the basis of a written complaint submitted by the university’s Controller of Examinations. Police said the complaint accused the teacher of engaging in obscene and inappropriate conversations with a student and attempting to lure her with promises of academic benefits. DCP Central Zone Vikrant Vir said the student had provided the university administration with audio recordings in which the professor was allegedly heard discussing the leaking of university examination question papers. He said the university first constituted an internal inquiry committee to examine the allegations before approaching police. On the basis of the complaint, police registered an FIR under Section 74 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, related to outraging the modesty of a woman, along with Sections 11 and 13(5) of the Uttar Pradesh Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. Police officials said the accused professor has been detained for questioning and further legal action is in progress. Investigators are examining the authenticity of the audio clips and trying to determine whether any final-year zoology examination papers were actually leaked or whether there was an attempt to manipulate the examination process.

FIR against Abhishek Banerjee over inflammatory statements, remarks against Amit Shah

FIR against Abhishek Banerjee over inflammatory statements, remarks against Amit Shah KOLKATA: An FIR has been registered against TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee at the Bidhannagar North Cyber Crime Police Station for allegedly making inflammatory statements ahead of the elections, making remarks regarding the playing of DJs and issuing statements against Union home minister Amit Shah. On Friday, Banerjee accused the Centre of allowing violence to erupt in West Bengal after the assembly election results and alleged that the counting process was manipulated during the recently concluded polls. In a post on X, the Trinamool Congress general secretary alleged that party candidates and counting agents were forcibly removed from several counting centres and claimed that central government employees controlled the counting process. “To every soldier of the Trinamool Congress family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage, resilience, and relentless fight for justice. Despite an extremely difficult and compromised election, you never gave up hope,” Banerjee wrote. He further alleged that post-poll violence broke out across Bengal after the results were declared. “After the results, Bengal witnessed shocking post-poll violence despite repeated promises of protection by the Centre. Central forces remained mute spectators as our workers, offices, and homes were attacked and set ablaze,” he said. Banerjee also expressed condolences to families of those killed in the violence. “My deepest condolences to the families of those we lost in this struggle. Bengal has suffered immensely over the past few days, and such scenes are against the very spirit of our land,” he added.
