UPSC debars candidate for three years for possession of incriminating material
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has debarred a candidate from appearing in all future examinations for a period of three years after the individual was found in possession of incriminating material during an examination, the Commission said on Friday (July 25, 2025). 'Recently, a candidate was found in possession of incriminating material in one of the UPSC examinations,' the Commission stated. In a post on LinkedIn, UPSC said the candidate was found guilty under Rule 12(1)(h) of the Examination Rules - 'being in possession of or using unfair means during the examination'. 'Accordingly, UPSC has taken stringent disciplinary action in line with standardisation of penalties by cancelling the candidature for the current year's examination and debarred the individual from appearing in all future examination(s)/selection(s) to be conducted by the Commission for a period of three years,' it added. He further said such measures are essential to preserve the sanctity of the selection process and ensure that merit remains the sole criterion for recruitment to government services. Commenting on the action, UPSC Chairman Ajay Kumar said, 'UPSC is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and fairness in its examination processes. Any candidate found guilty of indulging in unfair means or misconduct during examinations faces strict disciplinary action as per rules, including debarment from future examinations, as the strictest action.' 'This is the sole reason why UPSC, for the last 100 years, has been an epitome of merit and a fair system, and candidates from any background can get selected purely on merit basis, as per the selection process,' Mr. Kumar added.

Ayodhya horror: Kin dump elderly woman on road in dead of night; she dies hours later
In a tragic incident, an elderly woman in Ayodhya died after she was allegedly abandoned by her kin late at night near the roadside in Kishundaspur locality, the Times of India reported on Friday. The report added that the elderly woman, who was abandoned to suffer in the cold, was spotted by the people lying unattended on Thursday morning in Ramnagari. The police personnel admitted the elderly woman to Ayodhya Medical College, however, she succumbed to her condition during the treatment. The entire incident of abandoning the elderly woman by her kin was captured on CCTV, which shows an e-rickshaw arriving at the spot and three individuals leaving the woman by the roadside. Meanwhile, the police are scanning the video and trying to identify the vehicle and people involved. On being asked who the people were who had abandoned the old woman and the reason she was left behind, SP City Chakrapni Tripathi said, as quoted by TOI, "We have obtained CCTV footage showing a man and two women abandoning her. Efforts are underway to trace them and determine the identity of the deceased. Strict action will be taken against the culprits once identification is confirmed and postmortem is completed." Following the incident, it has sparked widespread outrage and city residents have demanded strict punishment of the inhumane act, add the report. In another shocking incident, a 60-year-old man in Japan was arrested after police found his mother's dead body in her flat. Amazingly, the man had been there for 10 years. Takehisa Miyawaki said he did not report her death due to social phobia. The man has no job or permanent home. In May, the case came to light when a government worker in Kobe saw Miyawaki limping on the road. When asked about his identity and mother, Miyawaki stayed silent. This made the official suspicious, and he informed the police. In June, police went to the flat registered under Miyawaki's mother's name. They found piles of garbage. Later, they discovered a skeleton in the toilet.
