    Skipping school in Saudi Arabia? Parents could face jail

    Guardians in Saudi Arabia may before long face prison time in the event that their youngsters reliably play hooky, as per another order from the Service of Training. The move comes as a component of the Saudi government’s endeavors to battle delinquency and guarantee that youngsters get legitimate schooling.

    Saudi Arabia has been endeavoring to further develop its school system lately, perceiving that a knowledgeable populace is indispensable for the country’s future turn of events and worldwide intensity. Notwithstanding, delinquency stays a persevering issue, for certain understudies as often as possible missing from school.

    Under the new guidelines, guardians will be considered legitimately liable for their kids’ participation and reliability at school. On the off chance that an understudy collects countless unexpected no-shows, guardians could confront fines and even detainment. The seriousness of the punishments will rely upon the quantity of days a youngster is missing and the guardians’ past consistence with participation rules.

    Schooling Pastor, Dr. Ahmed Al-Issa, focused on the significance of these actions in a new press explanation. He expressed, “Training is the foundation of our general public’s advancement, and it is the obligation of the two guardians and the public authority to guarantee that youngsters go to class consistently. By considering guardians responsible, we desire to diminish delinquency rates and work on instructive results for our childhood.”

    The new mandate has earned blended responses from guardians and teachers in Saudi Arabia. While some acclaim the public authority’s endeavors to further develop school participation and instructive guidelines, others are worried about the likely ramifications for guardians.

    Mr. Abdullah Al-Mansoori, a parent of two school-going kids, communicated his reservations, saying, “I figure out the significance of training, yet some of the time youngsters might have legitimate explanations behind missing school, like sickness. I trust the public authority will think about such circumstances and not force cruel punishments on guardians without cause.”

    To address these worries, the Service of Schooling has explained that guardians will have the chance to give genuine motivations to their kids’ unlucky deficiencies. Pardoned nonappearances because of ailment or other legitimate reasons won’t prompt punishments for guardians.

    The Saudi Middle Eastern government has likewise sent off a public mindfulness mission to instruct guardians about the new guidelines and the significance of customary school participation. This mission incorporates educational materials appropriated in schools and through different media channels.

    Saudi Arabia’s endeavors to further develop its school system and diminish delinquency are essential for a more extensive methodology to put resources into human resources and set up the country’s labor force for the difficulties representing things to come. The public authority means to make an information based economy and increment the country’s worldwide seriousness by guaranteeing that all kids get excellent training.

    As the new guidelines produce results, guardians across the realm will be intently checking their youngsters’ participation at school, and teachers will be attempting to guarantee that understudies are available and participated in the growing experience. The progress of these actions will probably rely on how actually they are carried out and implemented, as well as how well they balance the requirement for responsibility with the acknowledgment of genuine purposes behind nonappearances.

  • 8 prison staff suspended over gangster Tajpuriya’s stabbing inside Tihar Jail

    8 prison staff suspended over gangster Tajpuriya’s stabbing inside Tihar Jail

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Delhi government’s Prisons department on Friday suspended eight Tihar Jail staff members in connection with the fatal stabbing of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya on the premises, officials said.

    Tajpuriya was killed early on Tuesday allegedly by four members of the rival Gogi gang — Deepak alias Titar, Yogesh alias Tunda, Rajesh, and Riyaz Khan — who stabbed him “92 times”.

    A senior Prisons department official said they conducted a departmental inquiry based on which eight staff members were suspended.

    The officer had earlier said, “The report was received on Friday and lapses were found on the part of nine staff members. Out of them, seven — three assistant superintendents and four warders — have been suspended.

    “We had a meeting with officials of the Tamil Nadu Special Police and they have also agreed to take departmental action against their personnel.”

    The Tamil Nadu Special Police provides security on the jail premises.

    Sources said Tihar Jail Director-General Sanjay Beniwal met Lt Governor VK Saxena and presented him a detailed report on the stabbing.

    A fresh CCTV video from Tihar Jail emerged on social media purportedly showing Tajpuriya being attacked in front of security personnel as well when they were carrying him away after he was stabbed.

    Tajpuriya was assaulted with improvised weapons by the Gogi gang members inside the high security prison on Tuesday morning. But he was still alive and was being carried away by the prison security personnel when the accused attacked him for a second time, according to the fresh footage.

    The footage shows security personnel were in a corridor when the accused barged in through the door and again attacked Tajpuriya. He could be seen moving his leg in the video, confirming he was alive at that time. In the footage, it appears that the security personnel remained a bystander while the assailants keep attacking the gangster.

  • Former Indian-origin employee sent to jail for stealing USD 17 million from Apple

    Former Indian-origin employee sent to jail for stealing USD 17 million from Apple

    [ad_1]

    San Francisco: Dhirendra Prasad, a former Apple employee who was charged with defrauding tech giant Apple and related tax crimes, has been sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay more than $19 million.

    He was charged in March 2022 for stealing around $17 million from the iPhone maker through mail and wire fraud schemes.

    Prasad, 55, from Mountain House in San Joaquin County, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the US on November 2, 2022.

    MS Education Academy

    The remaining counts were dismissed at sentencing, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement.

    The criminal conduct centred around Prasad’s employment at Apple from December 2008 through December 2018.

    For most of that time, he was a “buyer” in Apple’s Global Service Supply Chain. It was Prasad’s job as an Apple buyer to facilitate the process through which Apple bought parts to perform warranty repairs on older devices.

    According to the Justice Department, Prasad exploited his position and conspired with two separate Apple vendors to defraud the iPhone maker by taking kickbacks, stealing parts, inflating invoices, and causing the tech giant to pay for items and services it never received — resulting in a loss to Apple of more than $17,000,000.

    In addition to engaging in two separate criminal conspiracies with Apple vendors, Prasad also acknowledged that he evaded tax on the proceeds of his schemes.

    By virtue of his position at Apple, “Prasad was given substantial discretion to make autonomous decisions to benefit his employer”.

    He abused his power to enrich himself at his employer’s expense — all while accepting hundreds-of-thousands of dollars worth of compensation from Apple in the form of salary and bonuses.

    “Additionally, Prasad used his insider information regarding the company’s fraud-detection techniques to design his criminal schemes to avoid detection,” said the DOJ.

  • Minor Girl’s Harassment Case, Man Goes To Jail For Three Years

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: A special Fast Track court in Srinagar presided over by Judge Aarti Mohan; dealing with cases registered under POSCO Act sentenced a man to an imprisonment of three years along with fine of Rs. 50000 under section 7/8 of POCSO Act.

    The matter pertained to the harassment of an 11-year-old girl and an FIR No.52 /2019 in this regard was registered at Kursoo Rajbagh police station Srinagar in 2019.

    The convict has been held guilty of offences punishable under section354, 354-A RPC and section 7/8 of POCSO Act 2018 by virtue of judgment dated 28-04-2023.

    Public Prosecutor Meena Gowher said that the accused should be awarded the maximum punishment  of five years as prescribed under law along with fine, which this court deems fit in the facts and circumstances of the case.

    Stating that the deterrence against the convicts in such cases is the need of the hour, the Public Prosecutor said, “The offence committed by the convict is against a minor girl and as such the convict does not deserve any leniency by the court and should be awarded the maximum punishment prescribed under law.”

    The convict was produced before the court from central jail in presence of the public prosecutor Meena Gowher and Advocate Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, convicts counsel in the case and heard the quantum of punishment.

    On the other hand counsel for the convict said that the court should take into consideration the mitigating circumstances while awarding the punishment to the accused.

    “The convict is a man of advanced age and falls in the category of senior citizen, a father of three daughters. Due to his involvement in the instant FIR, wherein he has been convicted, his reputation has suffered and two of his daughters have not been married,” the counsel submitted before the court, adding that court should also consider the fact that all the witnesses in the case were family members of the victim.

    “I have considered the arguments advanced by both the learned Public Prosecutor and learned defense counsel. The court while awarding punishment is influenced by numerous factors and no straight jacket formula is provided for determination of the quantum of punishment in law. The quantum of sentence depends upon the background facts of the case, antecedents of the accused, delay in conclusion of the case, age of the accused, his physical health condition, the nature of the offence and last but not the least the reformative deterrent and punitive aspects of punishment,” the court ruled.

    Court further ruled that, “In the case in hand the convict is senior citizen of more than 60 years of age at present having no prior criminal antecedents whatever. It also cannot be denied that he may be the sole bread provider for his family which comprises of two unmarried daughters. However, while awarding punishment the court is also required to take note that the object for which the penal laws have been enacted do not remain unfulfilled. The POCSO Act was enacted since a strong need was felt to take stringent measures to deter the rising trend of child sex abuse in the court. Its purpose is to ensure that there is a healthy physical, emotional, intellectual and social development of the child. The convict has committed sexual assault on a minor girl forgetting that he himself is a father of three daughters.” it said.

    Court stated that keeping in view the above facts while taking into account the mitigating the circumstances also the accused is awarded simple imprisonment of 3years along with fine of Rs. 50000/- under section 7/8 of POCSO Act.

    On failure of payment of fine accused shall undergo further imprisonment of 6 months.

    Court ruled that offence against the victim, who at the time of commission of offence was merely of 11 years of age caused her mental and psychological trauma. As such a compensation of Rs two lakh shall be awarded to the victim.

  • People like Bageshwar Dham chief should go to jail: RJD

    People like Bageshwar Dham chief should go to jail: RJD

    [ad_1]

    Patna: RJD leaders have reacted strongly to the upcoming visit of self-styled godman Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the chief of Bageshwar Dham, a pilgrimage site in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district, who is scheduled to hold a five-day spiritual camp in Patna soon.

    RJD’s state unit chief Jagadanand Singh said that people like Shastri should be put behind bars.

    “It is extremely unfortunate that he (Shastri) is not in jail. The BJP is lining up communal hooligans in Bihar. The people of this country have great faith in saints, but the BJP is destroying that. How can a hooligan turn into a saint? It has never happened in our country before,” Singh said.

    MS Education Academy

    “Dhirendra Shastri advocates turning India into a Hindu nation. I firmly believe that people’s comments should be within the purview of the Constitution. Such saints are dangerous for the society,” Singh added.

    State minister and RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav said: “If Dhirendra Shastri is coming here to stoke communal tension, I will stage a protest at the airport. He can enter Bihar only if he sends across the message of Hindu-Muslim-Sikh-Christian brotherhood.”

    Earlier this month, Shastri had drawn the ire of Maharashtra Revenue Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil for his “I don’t consider Saibaba as God… He may be called a saint or fakir” remark.

    “A criminal complaint should be filed and action should be taken against him for his irresponsible statement,” Patil had said.

  • Gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan walks out of jail amidst protests

    Gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan walks out of jail amidst protests

    [ad_1]

    Patna: Gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan, who was serving a life sentence for killing an IAS officer in Bihar three decades ago, walked out on Thursday amid protests by family members and well-wishers of the slain bureaucrat.

    Mohan, who had been an MP prior to his conviction in 2007, was released from Saharsa jail on Thursday morning after being behind the bars for 15 years.

    The gangster-turned-politician’s supporters who believe that their leader was “framed” in the murder of G Krishnaiah, the then district magistrate of Gopalganj, had planned a celebratory procession but the release was done in a manner which precluded any such gathering.

    MS Education Academy

    Krishnaiah, who hailed from Telangana and was from a scheduled caste, was beaten to death by a mob in 1994 when his vehicle tried to overtake a funeral procession in Muzaffarpur district.

    Mohan, who was the sitting MLA from Mahishi, was leading the procession taken out upon the death of his close associate Chhotan Shukla, another dreaded gangster who fell to bullets of his rivals before realizing his political ambitions.

    Mohan’s name figured in a list of more than 20 prisoners who were ordered to be set free by a notification issued by the state law department earlier this week as they had spent more than 14 years behind bars.

    His remission of sentence followed an April 10 amendment of Bihar Prison Manual by the Nitish Kumar government whereby the restriction on early release of those involved in killing of a public servant on duty was done away with.

    This, critics claim was done to help release Mohan.

    The relaxation has predictably been opposed by the wife and daughter of Krishnaiah. They have appealed to the Bihar government to reconsider the move, which has also drawn condemnation from the IAS Officers’ Association.

    Red-faced over the controversy, the government got chief secretary Amir Subhani to address a press conference and assert that the release was in accordance with norms.

    “No special favour has been done to anybody. The prison rules are amended from time to time, in the normal course. The clause about government servant on duty was dropped because it was found to be discriminatory. Moreover, we found no other state treating such killings differently,” Subhani claimed.

    He said that the State Sentence Remission Board, which includes two members of the judiciary, has received 1,061 clemency petitions in the last six years during which it has met 22 times.

    “Release of 698 prisoners has been approved, based on the feedback on conduct of the inmates received from authorities concerned.

    “This is besides special pardons given to first-time offenders, who are serving jail terms of 10 years. Such prisoners are freed on occasions like Gandhi Jayanti, Republic Day and Independence Day,” Subhani said.

    He pointed out that Mohan had spent 15 years, nine months and 25 days in prison but parried questions as to whether aggrieved family members of Krishnaiah were given an opportunity to raise objections against his release.

    When some journalists asked whether alleged recovery of mobile phones from the possession of Mohan in 2021 was taken into account while certifying his good conduct in jail, the chief secretary said he was not aware of such a charge against the former MP.

    Subhani also urged that there should be “no politicization” of the issue.

    Opponents of the ruling ‘Mahagathbandhan’ have accused the regime of wrong doing.

    Some leaders of the BJP, the principal opposition in the state, were categorical in their condemnation of Mohan’s release.

    However, the party, which draws its primary support from among the upper castes, also seemed to be wary of annoying the Rajputs. Especially, as Mohan enjoyed a Robinhood-like image in his heydays.

    Upper caste leaders like Union Minister Giriraj Singh, former union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy and ex-state minister Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu have gone on record saying that they have “no problem with the release of Anand Mohan” but alleged “many other criminals have been freed alongside for political gains”.

    The allusion has been to the fact that more than half of the prisoners released vide the order dated April 24 are Yadavs or Muslims, who are said to be supporters of the RJD, the largest constituent of the ‘Mahagathbandhan’.

    Meanwhile, Mohan’s wife Lovely Anand, a former MP herself, expressed relief over his release for which she profusely thanked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

    She maintained that her husband, who was awarded death penalty by the trial court which got commuted to imprisonment for life by the High Court, was “innocent”.

    “We are pained by the brutal manner in which an honest officer like G Krishnaiah was killed. I fully empathise with the suffering of his wife. But my husband was not even present at the site of the incident. Had he been there, he would have tried to save Krishnaiah even at the cost of his own life,” she added.
