In relation to the admission of 124 ineligible students during the academic year 2022–23 and 69 such students for 2021–22, they claimed that the CBI had filed two FIRs against Principal S Sreenivasa Raja.According to the agency, Raja colluded with the parents of ineligible students to grant them admission into different classes without checking their applications or service certificates. Raja also allegedly received undue financial advantage through UPI to his bank accounts with the State Bank of India and the Union Bank of India.

The same procedure will be used in this instance, he added, adding that several bank accounts had also been stopped. To protect the next generation, he made a plea to the people to come out and assist law enforcement agencies in finding and apprehending drug smugglers. The SSP stated that "narcotics are a serious threat to our society and we need to work together to end this menace.

Punjab gangster Sukha Duneke, close aide of Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla, killed in Canada

NEW DELHI: According to numerous local and worldwide media sources, notorious Punjabi criminal Sukhdool Singh aka Sukha Deneke, who was a part of the anti-Indian Khalistan movement, was shot and killed in Winnipeg, Canada. Sukha allegedly used fraudulent passports to flee to Canada in 2017 and join the terrorist group Arsh Dalla from Khalistan. Sukha was thought to be to the right of Dalla, a terrorist on the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) wanted list. The incident occurs at a time when India and Canada's bilateral relations have reached an all-time low due to the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a second declared Kahlistani terrorist. India has been charged by Canada with being involved in the murder of Nijjar in early June of this year. Two hooded assailants shot and killed Nijjar in the Surrey parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara. In 2020, Delhi labelled him as a terrorist. Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, accused New Delhi of being involved in the death of Nijjar in June and dismissed an Indian diplomat earlier on Monday. In a tit-for-tat response, India called the accusations "absurd and politically motivated" and ordered the head of the Canadian intelligence services' India post to leave the country in five days. The Canadian government has also amended its travel advice for its residents, advising them to avoid travelling to Punjab, Manipur, and Jammu and Kashmir if at all possible.In reaction, India issued a warning and urged its residents in Canada to proceed with the utmost caution in light of the rising number of "politically-condoned" hate crimes committed against Indian people and diplomats in Canada. Curiously, Dala was listed among the criminals and Khalistani terrorists based in Canada on the most recent NIA list. Along with other names, the list released by the NIA also contains Goldy Brar and Lakhbir Singh Linda. Linda is a notorious Khalistani terrorist who was responsible for the Punjab RPG incident.
