Two held in Bihar with 1 kg heroin valued at Rs 1 crore
Patna: In a significant crackdown in Bihar on narcotics trafficking, the Kishanganj Police, in collaboration with the Special Task Force (STF), arrested two individuals near the railway station on Thursday and seized one kg heroin from their possession, an official said. The estimated market value of the seized substance is around Rs 1 crore. Kishanganj Superintendent of Police Sagar Kumar described the seizure and arrest a major achievement, stating that the joint team has successfully busted an inter-state drug trafficking network. The arrested individuals have been identified as Baliram Chaurasia, a resident of Shivrampur, Ballia district (Uttar Pradesh) and Lalita Devi, a resident of Muzaffarpur district (Bihar). According to SP Sagar Kumar, the police acted on specific intelligence input about the smuggling of banned substances through the district. A special team led by SDPO-1 Gautam Kumar was constituted to monitor suspicious activity in the area. 'The team intensified surveillance near the railway station, where they spotted the two suspects. Upon searching them, we recovered the banned substance,' said SP Kumar. During questioning, the accused revealed that they were tasked by a person from Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh) to travel to Manipur and smuggle heroin back. The arrested individuals were en route from Manipur when they were apprehended in Kishanganj, Bihar. 'At this point, we are withholding the name of the person who assigned them this task due to an ongoing investigation,' added the SP. A case has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at the Town Police Station of the district against them. The police are now working to identify and apprehend other members of the smuggling network. A team will soon go to Ratlam to apprehend the kingpin of the racket. The district police are also verifying how they obtained heroin in Manipur. SP Sagar Kumar emphasised that the crackdown on drug trafficking will continue, and such operations are part of a larger campaign to curb the illegal narcotics trade in the region.

Bihar police arrest fake Aadhar card racket helping Bangladeshi infiltrators
PATNA: Bihar police on Saturday arrested a key member of a racket involved in preparing fake Aadhar cards for Bangladeshi infiltrators to help them sneak into Indian territory. The racket was busted in Kishanganj district, and several high-tech materials used in creating fake Aadhar cards were seized. Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Manglesh Kumar raided a house in Malingaon village under Jiyapokhar police station limits and arrested one person, Asharful. However, two of his accomplices, identified as Jamal and Pankaj, managed to escape. During the search of Asharful's house, the police found an eye scanner, a printer, a finger scanner, fake seals, two mobile phones, several SIM cards from India and Nepal, Nepalese currency, and a four-wheeler bearing a West Bengal registration number. The presence of a vehicle registered in West Bengal has raised concerns among investigating officers. Superintendent of Police (SP) Kishanganj, Sagar Kumar, said the police began the investigation after receiving information about a well-organised racket operating from the district, which was involved in providing fake Aadhar cards and other documents to Bangladeshi infiltrators. A special team was formed for the investigation, he added. SP Kumar said Asharful provided fake Aadhar cards and other documents that allowed Bangladeshi infiltrators to enter Indian territory by posing as Indian citizens. He added that these foreign nationals also used the documents to claim benefits under government schemes. 'We have also informed other investigating agencies about the racket. Interrogation of Asharful will throw more light on the racket. Police have registered a case against four members of the gang and raids are underway to arrest them at the earliest,' SP said, adding that the documents seized during the raid are being verified. Police sources said several fake Aadhar cards and related documents were recovered from Asharful's house. A police team has been sent to other districts to collect more information about the members of the inter-state racket, sources added. SP Sagar Kumar said the arrest of Asharful would act as a deterrent to infiltration from Bangladesh. District police, in coordination with the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), have launched an operation along the international border to prevent infiltration attempts. At least five Bangladeshi nationals have already been arrested while trying to enter Indian territory either from Nepal or Bangladesh, according to police sources in Kishanganj district. Kishanganj, which lies close to the Bangladesh border, is considered sensitive from a security point of view.

Meet Sagar Kumar, who got rejected 500 times... got 500% salary increase, not from IIT or NIT...
Meet Sagar Kumar, who got rejected 500 times... got 500% salary increase, not from IIT or NIT... Engineers from tier-3 colleges often have to struggle hard to get a high-paying job in a prestigious tech firm. One such person is Sagar Kumar, a young man who overcame tough challenges, limited resources and the perceived challenges of studying in a tier-3 college and finally landed his dream job at Google, which offered him a 500% salary hike. He had previously made 500 failed attempts to get a job in big IT companies. Interestingly, Sagar achieved this success despite not having a background of studying from institutes like IIT or NIT. After graduating from a small town and a tier-3 college, Sagar Kumar started his career at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Ninja at a salary of 3.3 LPA and later after clearing the TCS Digital Competency Assessment (DCA) he got a digital role in TCS IT company where his salary package increased to 7.4 LPA. Despite working for 3 years in TCS and winning many awards, a simple corporate job was never his real goal as he wanted to do something bigger. He started preparing for DSA while working full time in TCS. During an interview, Sagar Kumar revealed that he had applied to more than 500 companies on platforms like LinkedIn, Wellfound and Glassdoor, but did not receive any response for any of his applications. Sagar lacked programming and DSA skills compared to his peers from IITs and other top colleges, and so he relied on his developing skills and problem solving ability to make himself more attractive for jobs in top companies. Sagar used LinkedIn to connect with professionals from top companies, which provided him with valuable guidance and job referral opportunities. Additionally, Sagar also sought help from industry experts to improve his resume with the help of platforms like Topmate. After trying continuously for almost 9 months, Sagar Kumar finally got a call from a recruiter at Google, but due to his poor preparation, he could not clear the screening round. Here again, without giving up, Sagar took his preparation to the next level and mastered DSA, and continued to do mock interviews, scheduled exercises and self-evaluation. Eventually, circumstances changed due to hard work and in March, Sagar got another chance to work in Google through a friend's reference. This time he left no stone unturned, cleared the screening round, and then also cleared three rounds of tough interviews which finally landed him his dream job in the giant tech company along with a whopping 500 percent salary hike. Currently, Sagar is working as a software engineer in Google.
