MBA Graduates was arrested for selling fake certificates

by


Bengaluru, home to some of the best educational institutions in the country, is fast becoming a hub for dubious firms offering fake degree certificates. The city police’s most recent catch was last week, when an MBA graduate was arrested for selling 300 fake certificates of about four universities. Police believe that he has sold them to his customers for a price ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh.

Arjun (30), hailing from Andhra Pradesh, came to Bengaluru four years ago in search of employment. When he reportedly failed to find one, he, along with a few others, started an academy called Good Guide Educational Academy in Koramangala promising to help students pursue correspondence courses. “We found documents and fake marks cards of about 300 students. There might be more and we are probing,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police M B Boralingaiah.

The modus operandi used by him was to find students who have had a gap of three to four years after PUC or have done only one year of degree course. One such person to whom Arjun had promised to give a degree marks card from Periyar University approached the police after which the cops raided the office to find many marks sheets and birth, degree, and PG certificates with names of candidates written on them. There were many blank certificates too.

Many such scamsters
Police feel this is become a big scam and needs to be tackled soon. There are many people who have managed to get jobs in private firms with such fake certificates. It is only when the background verification is done by the companies that their fraud is revealed and many have lost jobs after that.

A senior police officer told TNIE that such rackets are spread across the country and more than 150 agents, who allegedly have close links with some of the universities whose fake mark sheets gets distributed, are involved in this. However, most of these scamsters do their “dealings” online. In 2017, the Central Crime Branch police raided an education consulting firm on MG Road and arrested a post-graduate who sold 2,000 fake marks cards.

Police then, with the help of a cyber forensic consultancy firm, and after the arrest of two such scamsters, skimmed through 39,600 emails which were recovered from them. “They had used email to contact clients and to distribute the fake documents. We went through each of those digital documents so as to identify the people who paid to get their degrees,” a senior officer who had conducted the raid said.

“While this is an old problem, over the last year there has been a spike in people venturing into this racket. These raids are just the tip of the iceberg,” the officer added. The employers, who conduct background checks, should always inform the police when they find something fishy, said a police officer.
Going by the raids in the recent past, as many as 40,000 people are working in and around the city with the fake degree certificates. Police rarely get formal complaints, and often take suo motu action.

Kavanaugh vows not to abandon Supreme Court bid

by


Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat, on Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee defiantly, forcefully and emotionally denied the accusations of sexual assault levelled at him by Christine Blasey Ford, calling them “a national disgrace.”

“This confirmation process has become a national disgrace,” he said in his opening statement before the committee, adding that “The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced ‘advice and consent’ with ‘search and destroy'”, Efe reported.

The Senate Judiciary Committee, which has a Republican majority – just like the overall Senate – is tasked with approving or not Kavanaugh’s nomination.

At times breaking down in tears and pausing in delivering his statement, Kavanaugh told the committee that “My family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed by vicious and false additional allegations,” but he vowed that he would never withdraw or quit.

The statement by the judge, who came to the Capitol holding his wife’s hand, came after Ford appeared before the committee earlier on Thursday, confirming for lawmakers that she was “100 per cent” certain that it was a drunken Kavanaugh who had sexually assaulted her at a house party in 1982 when they were both teens.

He said that he was not questioning Ford’s claim that she had been sexually assaulted by someone, but he declared that he did not do so.

The Senate hearing – broadcast live by major television news networks – riveted many Americans and comes amid increasing pressure to postpone a confirmation vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Earlier, before the committee, Ford had described taking and passing a polygraph test regarding her accusation.

“I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me,” Ford said in her opening statement at the hearing on her accusation.

“I am here today not because I want to be. I am terrified. I am here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school,” she told lawmakers.

Ford said that she had “agonized” for months since she learned about Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, but ultimately she said “I thought it was my civic duty to relay the information I had about Kavanaugh’s conduct so that those considering his potential nomination would know about the assault.”

One of three women who have publicly accused the judge of sexual misconduct, Ford insisted that she is a “fiercely independent” person and nobody’s “pawn,” and asserted that she felt it was incumbent upon her to tell her story about what occurred at the house party in the summer of 1982, when both she and Kavanaugh were teenagers.

The hearing scheduled for Thursday by the Republicans – who are in the majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee – was set to hear testimony from both Ford and Kavanaugh on her allegation, but the GOP members have not moved to allow calling more witnesses who might be able to corroborate or refute either of their stories, including Mark Judge, Kavanaugh’s close high school friend who Ford says was present in the same room during the attack.

SC opens Sabarimala gates to women aged 10-50

by


The Supreme Court on Friday opened the gates of the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala dedicated to Lord Ayyappa to the women in the age group of 10-50, saying it was violative of their fundamental rights and constitutional guarantees.

In a majority 4:1 judgment, the top court also read down the provision of Kerala laws that protected the prohibition and said it could not be covered under practices essential and integral to religious practice.

Justice Indu Malhotra, the only woman judge in the five-judges bench, who gave a dissenting judgment.

Chief Justice Dipak Misra reading out the judgment also on behalf of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, said that subversion of women’s rights under the garb of physiological phenomenon cannot be allowed.

“All devotees are equal and there cannot be any discrimination on the basis of gender,” Misra said.

Justice Rohinton F. Nariman in a separate but concurring judgment said that people of all faiths visit the temples — worshipers are not of separate denomination.

“Religion cannot become a cover to exclude and deny women their right to worship,” Justice D.Y. Chandrachud also said in a separate but concurring judgment.

Holding the Sabarimala temple is not a denominational temple peculiar to any sect, the court said that the Ayyappa temple belongs to Hindus and does not constitute a separate entity.

The apex court also read down the provision of Kerala laws that protected the practice of prohibiting the entry of women in the age group of 10 to 50 years.

SC refuses to revisit 1994 verdict that said mosque isn’t integral to namaz

by

The Supreme Court Thursday declined to refer to a five-judge Constitution bench the issue of reconsideration of the observations in its 1994 judgement that a mosque was not integral to Islam that arose during the hearing of Ayodhya land dispute.

The issue had cropped up when a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra was hearing the batch of appeals filed against the Allahabad High Court’s 2010 verdict by which the disputed land on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid area was divided in three parts.

A three-judge bench of the high court, in a 2:1 majority ruling, had ordered that the 2.77 acres of land be partitioned equally among three parties — the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.

Reading out the verdict, the top court said it has to find the context in which the five-judge bench had delivered the 1994 judgement that a mosque was not integral to Islam which arose during the hearing of Ayodhya land dispute.

The three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra commenced pronouncing its verdict on Ayodhya land dispute matter. Justice Ashok Bhushan is reading judgement for himself and the CJI.

 

Triple talaq ordinance murder of democracy: AIMPLB

by


The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), the apex body of Indian Muslims, on Thursday termed as ‘murder of democracy’ and an ‘insult to Parliament’ the ordinance brought by the Centre last week making triple talaq a criminal offence.

AIMPLB Secretary Moulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani told reporters here that the government brought the ordinance through backdoor on an issue which was not very important and where there was room for making legislation democratically and through public opinion.

Rahmani, who is also the spokesperson of the board, said the legislation was unacceptable for Muslims. He pointed out that Muslim women have already rejected it.

On whether the board will challenge the ordinance in the Supreme Court, he said the board’s legal committee will look into it as the ordinance will anyway lapse in six months.

AIMPLB member and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, who also addressed the news conference, said the ordinance would lapse the moment Parliament meets for the next session.

Rahmani said the government tried to bring a bill in Parliament, which was an interference in Shariat and was against the rights of women.

He said it was ironic that the government drafted the bill without consulting the community for which the legislation was being made.

The government also turned down the demand of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha to refer the bill to Select Committee which would have given an opportunity to the community or its representative organisations like AIMPLB to put forth their view.

He claimed that the ordinance was bereft of any logic as it seeks to punish a man for a crime which he has not committed.

“The Supreme Court has set aside triple talaq. When you are saying that when a man gives triple talaq, it will not come into effect, then what for you are sending him to jail for three years?” he asked.

Rahmani said criminalization of triple talaq would increase the number of women deserted by their husbands.

Owaisi said that marriage in Islam was a social contract and to apply penal provisions was unconstitutional.
