Rajasthan Board answer sheets mishandled, four teachers suspended
The suspensions were ordered late Monday by Ashish Modi, Director of the Education Directorate, Bikaner, following reports of mismanagement during the ongoing evaluation process.
Two of the suspended teachers are from Alwar district, while the other two are from the Didwana-Kuchaman area in Nagaur district of the state.
In Alwar, Omprakash Gai Saini, a senior mathematics teacher at Government Higher Secondary School, Railway Station, reportedly left RBSE Secondary Examination answer sheets unattended in front of interns during evaluation.
Meanwhile, Meenakshi Arora, a Hindi literature teacher at the same school, allegedly photographed the open answer sheets and circulated them to media outlets.
Both Saini and Arora have been suspended with immediate effect for breach of confidentiality and dereliction of duty. Saini will no longer evaluate answer sheets for the next three years.
During their suspension, they have been attached to the District Education Officer's (DEO) office in Alwar.
In a separate case in Nagaur district, Bhanvruddin, a senior Sanskrit teacher at Government Higher Secondary School, Bagot (Didwana-Kuchaman), enlisted the help of his colleague Pradeep Kumar Sharma of Government Higher Secondary School, Nimbari (Makrana), to fill in marks on answer sheets. Shockingly, Sharma also involved his father in the process.
Both Bhanvruddin and Sharma have been suspended with immediate effect for compromising the integrity of the evaluation process. They have been attached to the DEO office in Nagaur during the suspension period.
The Education Department reiterated the importance of confidentiality, transparency, and accountability in the board examination system and warned that stringent action would continue against any violations.

Puja Banerjee and Kunal Verma: We're financially ruined and mentally broken
Puja Banerjee and Kunal Verma TV couple Puja Banerjee and Kunal Verma have accused Bengali producer Shyam Sundar Dey of financial fraud after lending him `1.68 crore to fund a film acquisition deal. They say the money, raised through mortgaging property and personal loans, was never returned. Instead, FIRs were filed against them. At a press conference held in Mumbai on Friday, Pooja shared that she had known Shyam for four years and had worked on a Bengali film with him, for which he still owes her partial payment. She said, 'I chose to let it go, believing his claims of personal difficulties. When he moved to Mumbai, he became close to us and expressed interest in breaking into the Hindi film market.' He proposed acquiring distribution rights to 16 projects for `2.25 crore and asked for their help in arranging `1.25 crore, promising a profit of `50 lakh. Pooja said, 'We reached out to people to invest on his behalf, but no one agreed. Eventually, Shyam began emotionally pressuring me, saying the seller was hounding him. That led us to borrow nearly `1 crore from family and friends. Actor Arjun Bijlani also pitched in. ' In total, they transferred `1.68 crore to Shyam, using funds raised by mortgaging Kunal's parents' flat and pledging their savings. But after receiving the money, Shyam avoided discussing the deal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Despite repeated follow-ups, he neither returned the money nor produced any documentation. The actress said, 'He kept giving excuses. But we had to repay those we borrowed from. We also mortgaged another flat and pawned my mother's jewellery to manage repayments. Though we filed a complaint with the Mumbai police, we asked them to hold off, hoping Shyam would come through. ' Puja and Kunal claimed they tried to settle the matter privately in May, but were shocked when Shyam's wife, Malabika Dey, filed a complaint accusing them of kidnapping, extortion and assault in Goa and an FIR was registered. 'We only wanted our money back. We stayed at a villa that Shyam arranged because we couldn't afford a hotel. He even returned `10 lakh, which gave us hope. So, we were shocked when his wife filed an FIR against us. Later, she filed another zero FIR in Kolkata, which was transferred to the Goa police,' said Puja. Talking about why they took so long to present their side of the story, Puja shared, 'We waited a month and a half to come forward because we were not in the right mental state. When the first FIR was filed against us, I broke down. Even though I knew the case was fake, I feared being arrested and separated from my child. For nights, I couldn't sleep and would cry while holding him. I've been on medication for panic attacks and blackout episodes. ' On July 16, Puja filed a complaint against Shyam for cheating and breach of trust, and an FIR was registered. The couple is now battling `40–50 lakh in debt, lost work opportunities and emotional trauma. 'We're financially ruined and mentally broken. Yet, we still believe justice will prevail,' said Kunal.

First time Maha CM placed Hindi above Marathi: Supriya Sule on language row
Amid the ongoing Hindi-Marathi language row, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule took a jibe at Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, questioning who might be pressuring him to prioritise Hindi over Marathi. Speaking with the reporters on Saturday, Supriya Sule said, "I am very concerned about Devendra (Fadnavis) Ji. Who is pressuring him?... Under whose pressure is he doing this? This is the first time that Maharashtra's Chief Minister is placing Hindi above Marathi..." Meanwhile, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray hit back at BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's controversial "patak-patak ke maarenge" remarks. In a counter-attack, Raj Thackeray said, "A BJP MP said, 'Marathi logon ko hum yahan pe patak patak ke maarenge'... You come to Mumbai. Mumbai ke samundar mein dubo dubo ke maarenge." Reacting to Dubey's remarks, the MNS chief asserted that he will not compromise on matters related to the Marathi language and the people of Maharashtra. He further said that those who live in Maharashtra should "learn Marathi as soon as possible." "I will not make any compromises over Marathi and the people of Maharashtra. Those who live in Maharashtra, to them I would like to say, 'learn Marathi as soon as possible, wherever you go, speak Marathi'. In Karnataka, they fight for their language. Even a rickshaw puller knows that the Government is standing behind him over language. Similarly, you are like a pillar and speak in Marathi only. This is what I have come to request all of you," Thackeray said while addressing a gathering in Mumbai. Taking a dig at the Maharashtra leadership over the language policy, Thackeray said, "Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis had said that they would make Hindi language compulsory (in schools)... Maharashtra CM is fighting for Hindi. Marathi should be made mandatory in all schools. But instead, you are speaking about making Hindi mandatory." The Maharashtra Government had revoked the government resolutions (GRs) on the three-language policy, introducing Hindi as the third language in primary schools. The government has decided to set up a committee to take a relook into the three-language policy. Fadnavis announced that the government resolutions (GRs) issued in April regarding the three-language policy in primary schools have been cancelled. The first GR had made Hindi a compulsory third language for students from Classes 1 to 5, and the second GR made it optional.
