Kolkata: Calcutta University has released a list of 12 centres where the first-semester examination for LLB will be held from July 16, excluding the college in south Kolkata where the rape incident occurred on June 25.
The CU controller section has distributed these candidates among two other colleges.
Meanwhile, around 200 students from this college are likely to take their first-semester examination at the department of law. Among four govt-aided colleges, this represents the highest number of examinees who will write their first-semester examination.
Calcutta University's fact-finding team is probing several irregularities in the college that came to light after the rape incident.
CU officials are surprised after learning that the number exceeded 200. One CU official said, "Since an investigation is underway, we cannot comment on this, but the allegation of excess admissions in the college is under scrutiny. We will cross-check this after receiving all original record books from the college.

Questions have been raised about why excess student admissions were not restricted at the time of registration. The CU fact-finding team will probe this as well.
After the incident, the college appealed to the university not to use it as an examination centre because they felt that the present conditions made it difficult to conduct examinations there. Considering the plea from the college, the university has redistributed examinees, who were supposed to write the exam at the law college, to other centres.
Among 12 centres under CU, three — department of law (CU), Surendranath Law College and Heritage Law College — have been allocated students from two colleges each.
There are 14 law colleges, including four state-aided colleges, affiliated with Calcutta University. A CU official explained that shifting a centre involves considering several factors, especially distance. "Students of law colleges located in the city cannot be allocated distant centres.
There won't be any a problem in making arrangements because all law colleges have sufficient infrastructure to accommodate additional examinees," a CU official said.
Over 2,000 students from 14 CU-affiliated colleges will take the first-semester examination. CU law department will request police deployment during the exam. "If other colleges need security, they can approach the local police stations," said an official.

MP horror: Dalit youths stripped, beaten with chilli paste; cops accused of brutal abuse of power
BHOPAL: Four Dalit youths have accused police in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district of illegal detention and custodial torture. The youths claim they were stripped, beaten for four days, and had chilli powder rubbed into their private parts to force a confession in a theft case. The victims, residents of the Kanjadpur Dharampura area, said they were returning from a housewarming ceremony on July 15 when they stopped to urinate by the roadside. A Dial-100 police vehicle allegedly picked them up without explanation. One youth, who is disabled, was released, while the remaining four were taken to the police station, hung upside down, beaten with belts, and tortured. Police had earlier claimed to have arrested five individuals for stealing transformer oil. The incident triggered protests by Bhim Army workers and the victims' families, who marched to the SP office demanding action under the SC/ST Act and suspension of the accused policemen. A sit-in was staged outside the SP office, where authorities responded by locking the gates and cutting power to the premises. DIG Lalit Shakyawar later visited the site and assured that a medical examination would be conducted and action taken after investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dubai's Next Icon: Experience Binghatti Aquarise Luxury Binghatti Developers FZE Learn More Undo Three of the victims have since undergone medical tests.

Obama, Russia, and a coup? DNI Tulsi Gabbard claims plot to derail Donald Trump's 2016 win
Tulsi Gabbard , the current US Director of National Intelligence , has ignited a political firestorm by accusing former President Barack Obama and senior members of his administration of orchestrating a "treasonous conspiracy" during the 2016 election aftermath. Speaking on Friday, Gabbard said her office had uncovered "overwhelming evidence" that high-ranking officials manipulated intelligence to justify the Trump–Russia investigation. These claims were laid out in newly declassified documents, which she says will be handed to the Department of Justice for criminal referral.

Present at that meeting were former CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. She contends that the meeting led to a new intelligence directive—ordered by Obama—to reassess Russia's role in the 2016 election. Following the meeting, Clapper's assistant reportedly instructed the CIA, FBI, NSA and DHS to prepare a revised Intelligence Community (IC) assessment "per the President's request". Live Events This assessment, released on 6 January 2017, suggested Russia interfered in the election to aid Donald Trump. But Gabbard says earlier internal findings did not support that conclusion. 'Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome,' reads a 7 December 2016 internal memo cited in the report. She claims the revised report ignored previous intelligence and relied instead on 'manufactured' sources, including the now-discredited Steele Dossier. 'Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,' Gabbard said on social media. False leaks and media influence Gabbard further alleged that Obama-era officials leaked misleading claims to major news outlets to shape public opinion. She cited examples where statements were fed to publications such as The Washington Post, claiming Russia had attempted to interfere with or even influence the election outcome. 'Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election,' she said, quoting one such claim. Trump applauds, Democrats push back Donald Trump quickly responded to Gabbard's claims, voicing his support through a post on Truth Social. "Great job by young and talented Harrison Fields on FoxNews. The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the 'thugs' who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!" Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers issued swift and sharp rebuttals. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, 'The Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a bipartisan investigation reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents and interviewing witnesses over several years. The unanimous, bipartisan conclusion was that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. This is just another example of the DNI trying to cook the books, rewrite history, and erode trust in the intelligence agencies she's supposed to be leading.' Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut also weighed in, 'Baseless accusations of treason are unfortunately par for the course for this Director of National Intelligence, but that doesn't make them any less damaging and unacceptable. The IC leaders in 2016 understood that they took an oath to the Constitution, not President Trump. I wish Director Gabbard could say the same.' Layers of investigation and conflicting reports Gabbard's claims arrive years after a slew of investigations into the Trump–Russia saga. The Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans during Trump's presidency, conducted a three-year investigation concluding that Russia did mount an aggressive effort to sway the 2016 election. It found numerous contacts between Trump campaign aides and Russian officials but stopped short of confirming coordination. Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe also ordered a separate review. While that review criticised how the 2016 IC assessment was put together, it did not overturn its conclusions. Additionally, the Department of Justice's internal watchdog and Special Counsel John Durham investigated the origins of the FBI's Russia probe. Durham's inquiry led to three indictments, including one FBI lawyer who admitted to falsifying details in a surveillance warrant. But overall, the probe found no systemic wrongdoing. A deepening divide Gabbard insists this issue cuts across party lines. 'The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns every American,' she said. 'The American people's faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it.' The Justice Department has not yet confirmed whether it will pursue the referrals. Clapper and Brennan did not respond to comment requests. James Comey declined to comment. With both political camps entrenched, the release of these documents may reopen old wounds—but whether it leads to prosecutions remains uncertain.
