Dalit student's suicide at CUK triggers outrage, allegations of cover-up
1 2 Pic: File photo of students staging a dharna at CUK Kalaburagi; Attendance sheets at CUK show a caste column Kalaburagi: The alleged suicide of Jayasri Nayak, 20, a student from Odisha, has raised many questions about the educational atmosphere at Central University Karnataka (CUK) here. As authorities broke the door of the room — where the body was found — without informing police, activists suspect efforts to destroy evidence. Since the student belonged to the Dalit community, casteism is also being suspected. Agitation regarding the death is getting traction by the day. P Nandakumar, who was a student for 8 years from UG to PhD and was president of Ambedkar Vidyarthi Sanghatane at CUK, told TOI that atrocities against Dalit students have been ongoing in the varsity since its inception. "However, there was space to agitate when a Dalit student committed suicide in 2017. For the past 3-4 years, even our right to protest has been suppressed. If we insist, an FIR is filed against us. It started in 2019 when Rahul, a student, questioned performing religious rituals on campus when the varsity is a secular place. Earlier, the varsity's SC/ ST cell provided financial assistance of Rs 20,000 for Dalit students intending to present their papers at national and international platforms. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Now, it has been stopped. Even the OBC cell is shut. So is the case with the book bank and computer facility for Dalit students preparing for competitive exams. Now, SC/ST researchers are forced to pay fees on a par with general students. A caste column was introduced in the attendance sheet. Though they announce in press releases that accommodation and food are free for SC/ ST students, rent and fees are collected. Only when we oppose it, it gets refunded. Though Article 28/1 says there should not be any religious symbol in educational institutions, they have installed a Saraswati statue long before the installation of an Ambedkar statue. There are hundreds of cases to prove our allegations," he explained. Dwarakanath CS, former chairman of Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes, said he was prevented by security personnel from delivering a speech on Ambedkar last year. "I'm told there have been clashes between Dalit students and the varsity management for years. When we visited the campus at the request of Dalit students, we just offered a garland to the Ambedkar statue but were not allowed to speak about him. Many Dalit students shared that they are depressed by the casteist atrocities. Now, both the govt and the varsity management should consider the suicide of a Dalit student seriously," he said. K Neela, a social activist in Kalaburagi, alleged that the varsity is turning anti-women and anti-minorities too in recent years. When contacted, prof Battu Satyanarayana, CUK vice-chancellor, said: "The anti-women allegation is false. Girl students outnumber boy students in our varsity. We are providing all facilities to all students irrespective of caste and creed. During admission, we follow reservation rules. It is our duty to provide equal opportunities to all. We have not introduced caste columns in attendance. We will ask caste and category only during the admission to follow the reservation system. There is no caste-based discrimination in the campus. We are following UGC guidelines and norms specified by the Constitution." Responding to the recent suicide case, the VC said they did not know the student's caste until it was raised. "Security personnel might have broken the room door assuming that she might be alive and needed immediate medical care. After learning about her death, we immediately informed the police, who in turn informed her parents. Her parents informed us that she had some health issues," he stated.

Pak court sentences Punjab farmer to jail, orders deportation to India after it
1 2 Bathinda: Twenty-three-year-old Punjab farmer Amritpal Singh , who had inadvertently crossed into Pakistani territory from his fields on Zero Line, has been sentenced to a month's imprisonment each under two offences and fined Rs 50,000 for each offence by a court in Chunian, Pakistan. Non-payment of fines will keep him in Pakistan prison for 15 days more on each count. Both sentences will run concurrently. Amritpal is lodged in Kasur district jail. The court also wrote to the Pakistan ministry of interior to arrange for his deportation to India after completion of sentence. The farmer's family in Khere Ke Uttar village of Ferozepur, right next to the Pakistan border, is praying for his safe return. Amritpal is married and has an infant son. Amritpal's father Jagraj Singh told TOI that he has got the Pakistan court's conviction papers and the letter to the interior ministry to deport him. "I am writing to Indian authorities to ensure Amritpal is deported upon completion of his sentence without any delay," he said. The Rs 1-lakh fine in Pakistan currency works out to nearly Rs 31,000 in India. Jagraj Singh said he will seek clarity from the govt as to who will pay the fine and how. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We will ensure my son does not have to spend 15 more days in jail for failing to pay the fine," he said. Farmers who have land across the border fence in what's known as Zero Line between India and Pakistan have to sign in and out at a BSF checkpost every day. Amritpal signed in on June 21 at Rana Panjgrian border post and didn't sign out. BSF officers found footsteps leading across the border and realised he had inadvertently entered Pakistan. His panic-stricken family approached police and district officials. It was on June 27 that Pakistan Rangers confirmed to BSF that Amritpal was in custody of Pakistan Police. After that, Jagraj Singh reached out to various authorities, including Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria, to ensure the safe return of his son. Ferozepur MP Sher Singh Ghubaya met BSF DG Daljit Singh Chawdhary. While Indian authorities tapped official channels to get him back, Pakistan police filed a chargesheet alleging that Amritpal entered Pakistan territory around 4.15pm on June 21 without visa. This is an offence punishable under Section 4 of The Pakistan (Control of Entry) Act 1952 — though wrongly mentioned in the FIR as section 3 of The Pakistan (Control of Entry) Act 1952 and Section 14 of The Foreigner Act 1946. On July 28, the court of civil judge class-1, Nasar Mehmood Gondal, convicted Amritpal. His family and Indian officials are trying to ensure that they get him back safely on the completion of his one-month jail term.

Human trafficking racket: Bobby Patel's aide arrested from Gujarat after 2.5 years on the run
1 2 3 Ahmedabad: After playing cat and mouse with the authorities for over two and a half years, a key member of a human trafficking network has been nabbed. Gujarat police's state monitoring cell (SMC) arrested Bipin Darji — purported to be the partner of Bharat alias Bobby Patel, the 'Dingucha kingpin' allegedly linked to the tragic deaths of a Gujarati family on the US-Canada border in 2022 — from Vijapur in Mehsana. Police say he was part of the network allegedly led by Bobby Patel that promised people with dreams of settling in the US, illegal passage through Canada and Mexico. "Darji worked as a field agent in Mehsana region and was responsible for luring clients desperate to reach the US, collecting their documents, arranging fake passports and visas, and coordinating payment logistics with Bobby Patel and the network of domestic and international illegal immigration agents," said a police officer close to the case. DIG (SMC) Nirlipt Rai said SMC launched an investigation after an FIR was registered under several sections of the IPC related to cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy as well as for violations of the Indian Passport Act at Sola High Court police station in 2022. "A look out circular (LOC) was issued against Darji, and a Rs 25,000 cash reward had been announced for information leading to his arrest," he added.

He confessed to his role in the transnational racket. Darji admitted to facilitating the movement of individuals using forged documents and coordinating with international agents," said police. "During interrogation, Darji confessed to being Bobby Patel's partner in the illegal immigration racket and admitted he had been in hiding since the case was filed. To evade arrest, he had moved frequently between Visnagar, Mehsana, Unjha, Vijapur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Ranuja, and Mumbai," said police. So far, 12 accused have been arrested in connection with the case. Three, including the main accused, Bobby Patel, were in judicial custody for the past two and a half years. Bobby Patel, 47, dubbed the 'Dingucha kingpin', is suspected to have facilitated the illegal travel of Jagdish Patel, 39, his wife Vaishali Patel, 37, their daughter Vihangi, 11 and son Dharmik, 3, from Dingucha village in Gandhinagar to the US. The journey ended when they froze to death just 10m near the US-Canada border in Jan 2022. Investigations revealed that Bobby Patel had obtained 28 legally issued passports by altering minor details, some even containing biometric data, through various passport offices in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. These multiple passports allowed him to leave and re-enter India undetected. He was arrested by the SMC in Dec 2022 from Bhadaj area of Ahmedabad when he allegedly arrived to meet his ailing partner. "He is suspected of having helped 1,500 people from North Gujarat obtain fake passports. His name cropped up in the investigation into the IELTS paper scam in North Gujarat. We also suspect Bharat Patel had sent six people from North Gujarat to the US. The six had to be rescued by the US authorities after their boat capsized and they almost drowned while illegally crossing the St Regis river on the Canada-US border," said an officer. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Bobby Patel early this July under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with a human trafficking case. The ED initiated its investigation based on the FIR registered by Sola High Court police station, which accused Patel and others of illegally sending Indian citizens abroad since 2015. The investigation revealed that Bobby Patel and his associates allegedly charged Rs 60 lakh to Rs 75 lakh for one passenger, Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.25 crore for a couple, and Rs 1.25 crore to Rs 1.75 crore for families with children. Even as further probe is underway, an officer close to the investigation said, "Other accused related to the case still at large include Munna Khatri, reportedly residing in Canada, and Munna Maken, currently in the US, for whom extradition procedures are ongoing."
