2 Tripura profs suspended for ‘inappropriate conduct'
Agartala: The state govt has suspended two assistant professors from separate degree colleges following allegations of misconduct. The action was taken on Friday against Dr Shantanu Mujumdar, a chemistry professor at Kamalpur Government Degree College, and Dr Abhijit Nath, a physics professor at Ram Thakur College in Agartala. Dr Mujumdar's suspension comes after a video surfaced on social media, allegedly showing him in a compromising situation with a female student inside the college laboratory. Special secretary for education Ravel Hemendra Kumar said Dr Mujumdar admitted to the inappropriate conduct, which violated the institution's sanctity and the teaching profession's dignity. He has been directed to report to the principal of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar College in South Tripura and is prohibited from leaving the station without prior approval. In a separate incident, Dr Nath faces suspension over allegations of tampering with the college's admission process. An inquiry revealed that he forged the admission of students not listed on the merit list by using fee cards with falsified principal signatures. Dr Nath confessed to taking 50 fee cards from the office without authorization, returning only 28, and failing to account for the rest. The college principal reported that Dr Nath facilitated 69 unauthorized admissions using 120 fee cards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Both professors have been suspended with immediate effect and are required to remain at their respective headquarters unless granted permission to leave.

3 held for swindling cash firm of 11 lakh
1 2 Koraput: Three persons were arrested on Thursday night in connection with the misappropriation of over Rs 11 lakh from a private cash management company by staging a robbery, police said. The arrests were made following a complaint filed by an official of the company. Police said the incident came to light after Asish Jena, branch head of the company's Bhubaneswar office, lodged a complaint with Koraput Town police station on July 23. Jena alleged that an employee, Siba Prasad Nag, 31, deputed at the firm's Koraput branch, had misappropriated Rs 11, 04,370. The case took a turn when Siba reportedly called a subordinate, claiming that he had been robbed by unidentified miscreants near the LIC office in Koraput while on his way to deposit the cash at a private bank. However, suspicion arose when Siba failed to file a police report and his mobile phone became unreachable. This prompted Jena to lodge the complaint. "Based on CCTV footage and other technical evidence, we apprehended Nag of Jeypore. He confessed to orchestrating the robbery," said Satyananda Patra, IIC of Koraput Town police station. Police arrested two other accused — Badal Nag (27) of Jeypore and Khirasindhu Bindhani (40) of Silakguda in Nabarangpur district — based on Siba's statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo "The trio had conspired to stage a robbery, choosing a location in the town not covered by CCTV surveillance. Khirasindhu was roped in to play the role of an outsider to deflect suspicion," Patra added. So far, police have recovered Rs 4 lakh in cash and seized the motorcycle used in the crime. One more accused from Nabarangpur district is at large, and efforts are on to apprehend him, police said.
