Another nephew of BL Katara held in 2021 SI Exam leak case
Jaipur: The Special Operations Group (SOG) Sunday arrested another relative of suspended RPSC member Babu Lal Katara for his alleged role in the 2021 Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam paper leak case. Additional director general of police (SOG) VK Singh said the accused, identified as Rahul Katara, is a nephew of Katara and appeared in the 2021 SI recruitment exam. Investigators alleged that Rahul was among the direct beneficiaries of the leaked paper, accessed with the assistance of his uncle well before the examination. "He cleared the written exam but failed to qualify in the physical test due to not meeting the required height criteria," Singh said. Rahul's arrest follows the recent detention of another nephew of Katara, Vijay Kumar Damor, who was taken into custody Tuesday for similar charges. Damor was staying at Katara's govt residence in Ajmer during the time of the exam. At the time, Katara, then serving as an RPSC member, was responsible for preparing the answer keys for the exam. According to SOG, nearly 35 days ahead of the exam, Katara brought home the question papers for all three days and instructed Damor to copy the sets into a lined register. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Volta Redonda (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo "He wrote the sets so many times that he memorised all questions and their answers," Singh said. Damor was already arrested earlier in connection with the Senior Teacher Exam 2022 paper leak case. SOG suspects that Katara played a central role in orchestrating the leak and selectively passed on the questions to favoured individuals, including family members.

Dallas Stars take bold gamble on Cameron Schmidt as their next Jason Robertson-style draft steal
Photo byAt the Dallas Stars' development camp last week, the team's blueprint for building a contender was on full display: invest in raw offensive skill, even if it means taking risks on undersized players. It's a plan that produced NHL stars like Jason Robertson, Wyatt Johnston, and Logan Stankoven—players picked outside the top of the draft but transformed into top scorers. Now, the Stars hope Cameron Schmidt is the next name on that list. For the 18-year-old Vancouver Giants forward, this summer's camp was less about proving himself immediately and more about soaking up lessons that could help him break through—despite the size questions that made him slide to the third round. Dallas Stars' NHL Draft plan: turning WHL prospects like Cameron Schmidt into the next Jason Robertson Joe McDonnell, the Stars' director of amateur scouting, spoke candidly during the Frisco camp about why the team prioritizes scoring talent in the NHL Draft. 'You have to find ways to maximize your value,' McDonnell said on the ice at Comerica Center. 'You look at players who score goals or get high point totals, and those players have value in the league.' It's a philosophy that's paid real dividends. Jason Robertson , drafted 39th overall in 2017, is in the final year of a deal worth $7.75 million annually—and is positioned to top $10 million on his next contract. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Araucária (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo Roope Hintz, selected 48th overall in 2015, is locked in at $8.45 million AAV over eight years. Johnston, picked late in the first round, is starting a five-year, $8.4 million deal. Even Logan Stankoven, traded to Carolina as the main piece in the Mikko Rantanen deal, signed an eight-year deal worth $6 million annually with the Hurricanes. 'You have to take some big swings sometimes and see if they pay off,' McDonnell said at the camp. Schmidt represents one of those swings. Standing at 5-foot-8, he posted 78 points in 61 games last season with the WHL's Vancouver Giants and added 9 points in 5 playoff games. Size questions knocked him to the third round (94th overall), but the Stars saw real upside. Dallas Stars' Frisco camp: developing NHL Draft picks, WHL prospects, and Cameron Schmidt Jordie Benn, working in player development with the Texas Stars, ran drills at Frisco and watched Schmidt closely. 'The kid can skate,' Benn said after a morning session at Comerica Center. 'He is very smooth on the ice. He's a nice guy. It will be nice to get to know him well.' Rich Peverley, the Stars' director of player development, also shared his optimism at the camp. 'Speed, skill, tenacity, we're lucky we got him,' Peverley said. 'Obviously, the size is a knock, but there are lots of comparisons to Logan. They're similar players. I would say he's a faster player.' For Schmidt, the week was about listening and learning. 'It's just learning. This week is all about learning,' he said at camp. 'Just listen. Just taking the little things from them and focusing on that.' He credited Stankoven as a role model: 'To see what he has done to be able to make it to this level and then maintain his spot, it's kind of cool.' General manager Jim Nill summed up the team's thinking while standing in Frisco last week: 'It's not just the drafting, but what happens now. We've got a great staff that works on the development part. We've had results from it, so we're pretty comfortable.' As the Stars continue to invest in skill-heavy prospects, they're betting that Cameron Schmidt will follow the same path—from overlooked to undeniable. 'If you can even get one player a year,' McDonnell said, 'you can build a team from that.'

'Deeply honoured': Chennai-born professor Anantha Chandrakasan appointed MIT provost, becomes first Indian-American in the role
Chennai-born Professor Anantha Chandrakasan has been appointed as the next provost of MIT, marking him as the first Indian-American to hold this prestigious position. Assuming office on July 1, he will oversee academic programs, faculty affairs, and strategic planning. NEW DELHI: Chennai-born Prof Anantha Chandrakasan has been named the next provost of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), becoming the first Indian-American to hold the key leadership position at the prestigious US institution. He will assume charge on July 1. Chandrakasan, currently MIT's chief innovation and strategy officer and dean of engineering, was selected from among several top internal candidates. MIT President Sally Kornbluth praised his 'exceptional record of shaping and leading important innovations for the Institute.' The provost is MIT's chief academic and budget officer, overseeing all academic programs, faculty affairs, strategic planning, and affiliated units, while leading a team of vice provosts responsible for areas ranging from the arts to international engagement. 'I am deeply honoured to take on the role of provost,' Chandrakasan said in a statement issued by MIT. 'Looking ahead, I see myself as a key facilitator, enabling faculty, students, postdocs, and staff to continue making extraordinary contributions to the nation and the world.' Kornbluth said Chandrakasan takes over the role at a 'perilous' time for the institute, amid growing uncertainty over federal support for research, education, and international talent retention. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Itapucá (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo 'In a time of such intense pressure and potentially historic change, I am particularly grateful that we will be able to draw on Anantha's depth and breadth of experience; his nimbleness, entrepreneurial spirit and boundless energy; his remarkable record in raising funds from outside sources for important ideas; and his profound commitment to MIT's mission,' she said. The Consulate General of India in New York congratulated Chandrakasan on his appointment, noting his significant contributions to US-India collaboration in R&D. 'A distinguished academic and leader, Prof Chandrakasan has remained a strong advocate of India-USA technological & R&D collaboration; has been working with various Indian government and private sector stakeholders towards this objective. We wish him all success in this important responsibility,' the Consulate said. Chandrakasan has served as MIT's dean of engineering since 2017 and was appointed as the institute's inaugural chief innovation and strategy officer in 2024. Prior to that, he led MIT's largest academic department — Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) — for six years. He also directed the Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) from 2006 to 2011. Kornbluth, who appointed him as the first CISO, described him as someone with a 'can-do attitude, creativity, enthusiasm, strategic insight, fluency across a wide range of subject areas, and gift for engaging industry allies and donors.' Chandrakasan will succeed Cynthia Barnhart, who announced her decision to step down earlier this year. As provost, he will focus on three major priorities: long-term financial and institutional planning, attracting and retaining top talent, and enhancing interdisciplinary research, education, and entrepreneurship. 'Recognising that each school and other academic units operate within a unique context, I plan to engage deeply with their leaders to understand their challenges and aspirations. This will help me refine and set the priorities for the Office of the Provost,' Chandrakasan said. He also announced plans to establish advisory groups comprising faculty, students, postdocs, and external stakeholders to inform his decisions. 'There is a tremendous opportunity for MIT to be at the centre of the innovations in areas where the United States wants to lead. It's about AI. It's about semiconductors. It's about quantum, biosecurity and biomanufacturing space — but not only that,' Chandrakasan said. 'We need students who can do more than just code or design or build. We really need students who understand the human perspective and human insights. This is why collaborations between STEM fields and the humanities, arts and social sciences, such as through the new MIT Human Insights Collaborative, are so important,' he added. Chandrakasan holds a BS, MS, and PhD in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley.
