‘Lured with toffee, was to be sold to wealthy couple': Gurgaon police rescue 6-year-old boy, arrest 2 for kidnapping him
The Gurgaon police rescued a six-year-old boy and arrested two people, including a woman, for allegedly kidnapping him, a spokesperson for the department said Sunday. The accused will be produced in court on Monday. Identifying the arrested individuals as Shivam and his mother Manoj, the police said the two were arrested from Agra in Uttar Pradesh where they reside in Madhav Vihar Colony. Officers said the mother-son duo confessed that they were planning to sell the boy to a wealthy childless couple for a hefty sum. The case was filed on June 23 after a complaint was registered at the Sector 40 police station in Gurgaon. As per the complaint, the boy was abducted from Kanhai village in Sector 45. The investigation was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit. Following a probe, the police arrested Shivam in Agra on July 2 and rescued the child. Shivam was sent to four day's police custody during which his questioning led investigators to arrest his mother on Saturday. The police said Shivam lured the boy with toffees before abducting him and taking him to Agra, where he was kept with Manoj. Though they planned to sell the boy, the police's intervention thwarted their plans. In August last year, a student of Gurugram University was kidnapped, held captive for seven hours, and robbed, before finally being left on Golf Course Road. The victim, who hailed from Palwal, resided at a paying guest accommodation in Sector 55. He got a call from one of the accused whom he knew through a friend. In his complaint to the police, the student said that when he returned from college in the evening, three individuals forced him into a white XUV 500 and threatened to kill him. The robbers snatched his mobile phone and made transactions amounting to 1.07 lakh, besides taking his gadgets and selling his bike worth Rs 8.5 lakh. The three accused were arrested later and the stolen items recovered.

‘Appeared for exams without knowing if I passed last': 7 months after system shift, 50% of Gurugram University students still await previous semester results
Gurugram University's transition to the Samarth portal seven months ago has disrupted academics for thousands, leaving nearly 50% of students awaiting past exam results despite new semester exams commencing. GURGAON: A shift by Gurugram University to the govt-run Samarth portal around 7 months ago has resulted in academic disruption for thousands of students, with many still awaiting the outcome of exams held in Dec. Despite new semester examinations having started, nearly 50% of students have not got their results from previous terms. The issue began when the university moved its results management system from the EMS portal, run by a private IT firm, to Samarth, a centralised platform used by institutes like Delhi University. "The previous vendor exited in Nov 2024, and we had to migrate data of over 40,000 students from Gurugram University and affiliated colleges," said Ramesh Garg, controller of examinations. The delays have hit students hard. A third-year BCom student said she appeared for exams without knowing whether she had passed earlier ones. "Only my first semester result is available. I don't know the outcome of the second or third. Because of that, I couldn't fill out the re-appear form in time," she said, adding: "No one at the university has been able to help." BA graduate Anjali Jajoriya, who recently took her sixth-semester exams, is still waiting for her fifth-semester and re-examination results from Dec. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo "Last month, I was told the results would be declared soon, but nothing has changed," she said. "I couldn't apply for re-exams for multiple semesters because I didn't know my status. We're caught in a loop." Garg explained that in addition to system migration, delays in uploading marks by colleges also affected declaration of results. "The result depends on internal and external theory and practical marks. In several cases, colleges didn't upload all components. Once contacted, most complied, and those results were released," he said. Additionally, Academic Bank of Credits ID or Apaar ID is now required to access results. Students who haven't completed their registration cannot see their marks online.
