Mukhtar Ansari: A career in crime and politics

Mukhtar Ansari: A career in crime and politics Mukhtar Ansari straddled the worlds of crime and politics in Uttar Pradesh. The gangster-politician was booked in 65 criminal cases ranging from murder to extortion and was elected an MLA five times on the tickets of different political parties. Ansari, 63, died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Banda on Thursday. Born into an influential family in 1963, Ansari entered the world of crime to establish himself and his gang in the government contract mafia that was then flourishing in the state. His tryst with crime began as early as 1978, when Ansari was just 15 years of age. He had his first brush with the law when he was booked for criminal intimidation at Saidpur Police Station of Ghazipur. Almost a decade later in 1986, by the time he had become a well-known face in the contract mafia circle, another case of murder was lodged against him at Muhammad Police Station of Ghazipur. Over the next decade, Ansari became a common face of crime with at least 14 more cases under serious charges lodged against him. His growing criminal graph, however, did not hinder his entry in politics. Ansari was first elected an MLA in the UP assembly in 1996 on a ticket from Bahujan Samaj Party from Mau. He continued his successful run on the seat as an independent candidate in 2002 and 2007 assembly elections. In 2012, he launched Qaumi Ekta Dal (QED) and won from Mau again. He won from Mau again in 2017. In 2022 he vacated the seat for his son Abbas Ansari who won from the seat on the ticket of Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party. Since 2005, till his death, Ansari had been lodged in different jails of UP and Punjab. He had 28 criminal cases, including that of murder, and seven cases under the UP's Gangster Act registered against him since 2005. He had been convicted in eight criminal cases since September 2022 and was facing trial in 21 cases in different courts. Ansari was awarded life term and a penalty of Rs 2.02 lakh by Varanasi MP/MLA earlier this month in a case of fraudulently obtaining an arms licence around 37 years ago. This was the eighth case in which he was sentenced in the past 18 months by different courts of UP and the second in which he was awarded a life term. On December 15, 2023, a Varanasi MP/MLA court sentenced Ansari for five years and six months for giving death threat to Mahavir Prasad Rungta for turning hostile and not pursue a case involving the kidnapping and murder of BJP leader and coal trader Nand Kishore Rungta on January 22, 1997. On October 27, 2023, a Ghazipur MP/MLA court had awarded him 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and penalty of 5 lakh in a Gangster Act case lodged against him in 2010. On June 5, 2023, a Varanasi MP/MLA had awarded life imprisonment to Ansari in the case of murder of Awadesh Rai, the elder brother of former Congress MLA and present UP Congress president Ajay Rai. Awadesh Rai was sprayed with bullets when he and brother Ajay were standing outside their house in the Lahurabir locality of Varanasi on August 3, 1991. On April 29, 2023, Ghazipur MP/MLA court had sentenced Ansari to 10 years of imprisonment in a case of murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai. The Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court had on September 23, 2022, awarded Ansari five years of rigorous imprisonment in a Gangster Act case registered against him in 1999 at Hazratganj Police Station in Lucknow and imposed a fine on him Rs 50,000. The Ghazipur MP/MLA court on December 15, 2022, had awarded him 10 years of imprisonment and slapped a penalty of 5 lakh each in two separate cases of Gangster Act lodged against him in 1996 and 2007. Ansari's first conviction in the last 13 months was awarded by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court. He was awarded seven years of imprisonment on September 21, 2022, for threatening the jailor of the Lucknow district jail in 2003. The Uttar Pradesh government had to approach the Supreme Court to bring Ansari back to the state from Ropar jail in Punjab. Ansari, then a BSP MLA, was lodged in the Ropar jail in January 2019 in connection with an extortion case and remained there for a period of more than two years. In March 2021, while hearing a plea of the UP government, the SC had directed the Punjab government to hand over Ansari's custody to UP, saying it was being denied on trivial grounds under the guise of medical issues. The court had also said that a convict or an under-trial prisoner, who disobeys the law of the land, cannot oppose his transfer from one prison to another and the courts are not to be helpless bystanders when the rule of law is being challenged with impunity. Since 2020, Ansari gang had been under an intense heat from police, which either seized or demolished illegal property worth Rs 608 crore belonging to the gang. Illegal business, contracts, or tenders worth over Rs 215 crore of the gang was also stopped by the police in this period.

Chetan Bhagat on self-help book: 'I was nervous it could be a career-killer'

HYDERABAD: It was a packed hall with many audience members having bunked work to get a glimpse of author Chetan Bhagat whose works, Five Point Someone, The 3 Mistakes of My Life, and Half Girlfriend, have been best-selling hits despite much criticism. In fact, at the Bengaluru launch of his latest book, 11 Rules For Life: Secrets to Level Up (HarperCollins India; Rs 250 ), a young boy had travelled from Kalaburagi just to meet his favourite author whom he compared with world best-selling writer James Clear. A visibly embarrassed Bhagat replied, Its not a fair comparison since Clears Atomic Habits is one of the highest-read non-fiction books in the world. Hopefully, that compliment put his worries of stepping into a genre different from his usual, to rest. The author confesses that he was nervous about writing a self-help book like 11 Rules For Life. I was extremely nervous about it because it could be a career-killer. Even so, I went ahead with it for three reasons I believed in. Fundamentally, I believe there is too much entertainment. But there is too little guidance on how to lead life. There are a lot of self-help readers in India to whom I am catering. They are the ones who will pick it up, says Bhagat, adding, Thirdly, my book is set in the Indian context with local Indian examples and characters. The book, already in its third print, can be found in the self-help section in bookstores but Bhagat calls it part-memoir, part-self-help, and part-fiction. Despite the shortening attention and reading span, Bhagat says he has studied his readers to know what will work. I know my readers they are the Insta reel watchers who never pick up a book. They are not readers but they are Chetan Bhagat readers, he quips. Bhagat is prepared for fewer takers for this book, but thats a risk he was willing to take. My conscience is happy because I have reached a stage where performance matters to me. The sure shot way was to write another work of fiction but that would have left me feeling empty because this is what I wanted to do right now, he signs off.

Effects of EV transition on jobs in the auto industry

BHPian svsantosh recently shared this with other enthusiasts. I want this thread to discuss an important human-centric topic of Jobs that will be impacted if we move to an EV-centric industry. I feel the below jobs will be culled or scaled down forever and can change the course of the job industry forever. Just like the steam engines died (trains, buses, cars, home heating, etc), Carpentry, pottery hand weaving and so many other jobs have died or been curtailed severely in the last century, and these jobs also will be phased out. Do feel free to add or debate what else will be the impact.Drivetrain100s of engine parts sub-contracted to vendors assembled at engine maker - Vs - a simpler motor driven by tech and assembled in-house. I estimate it would need 50% fewer people overall to make a motor (1 casing, rotor, winding and gears) instead of a complicated engine. Same case applicable to gearboxes - electric motors can eliminate the need for a complicated transmission, so many jobs are in question here.Starter motor/AlternatorThere are some Giant employer names in India that are well-known starter and alternator manufacturers, TVS is one, and BOSCH is another, what about those 1000s of jobs there?Suspension/Brakes/HVACIn the current EV Scenario, these industries look safe but there may be advancements made. Regenerative braking can eliminate the need for better brakes someday so watch out. Thankfully with a warmer earth, HVAC is still needed and EVs do need some tech to cool down their internals.Radiator/heat exchangeThere is a sure need for a radiator concept in an EV to keep the battery and motor cool but I am not sure if any jobs will be lost.Spares/Ancillary units/Engine oil/lubricants/filters/MechanicsThis will be a significant sector that will see millions of job losses, there are 100s of lubricant brands in the world, OEM and fake spare industries, 1st grade copy and fake part manufacturers who somehow provide jobs and run the economy, those will be at stake. Air filters, oil filters, engine spares, clutch replacements, etc all gone forever. All after-sales service centers around the world - organized and unorganized, what will happen to them?Gujri/Scrap/recylcersEvery major town and every city has a suburb with 100s of streets and 1 or 2 highways full of used spares - engines, gearboxes, body parts like hood, boot, seats, etc - what will happen to them?After-market tuners/Performance Spares/AccessoriesEven a Swift can be modded with a louder FFE exhaust and a K&N air filter, what about those industries? Audio refitters, there are various jobs related to both manufacturing of a Pioneer or Sony or Alpine HU and a Sub, Amp, their related wiring etc - I don't think a Tesla or a BYD (for that matter even today's cars don't need an AFM audio anymore) will need these industries. I can imagine a Tesla having a 10,000 Rs seat cover done in JC road safely covering the airbags but still there are some jobs to surely vanish in this industry. A product as simple as a Pom-Pom Bosch horn cannot be added to an EV without facing major warranty issues. Minda, Roots, Super - there are so many companies making such a simple 1st-mod-on-a-car in India - louder horns.Additives/Non OEM performance add onsLiqui moly, Bardhal, 3M, and 1000s more companies have additives for fuel and oil, what about them?BearingsSurely companies like SKF/FAG/Techspin will have lesser business if engines and gearboxes are eliminated, they are giants in the job sector. There is no need for a journal bearing surely in EV I hope.Casting/FoundriesYes, an EV drive train still needs a cast outer block and a forged shaft or a few but there are far fewer cast/forged parts inside a motor compared to an ICE engine.The FactoryI have checked out EV factories like Ather or Ola (being a native of Hosur, TN) they really don't need a lot of employees to put together an EV product as compared to the cumbersome assembly of an ICE car/bike. Yes, there are jobs created but it takes far fewer people to assemble an EV compared to a conventional car or bike.The BatteryI really do not have an estimate of how many jobs are created in the manufacture of EV batteries, can anyone discuss that topic? From mining to logistics to processing and assembly of a Battery Pack.Oil/Petroleum/Refining/Distribution/PumpsThis is the hottest topic of all, can anyone even begin to estimate the number of jobs in the oil industry, it is simply massive and they make or break nations, geo-politics, and differentiate developed or conflict nations. From oil exploration to drilling and mining to shipping and storage to refining and distribution to petrol pumps - it is simply mind-boggling. I cannot understand how EVs are going to replace this industry and where are humans going to find alternative energy to replace oil. Unless we find a Lithium deposit below earth similar to the Middle-East oil story from the 1970s - hoping the volume of Lithium deposits is the size of 3-4 states combined in India - I simply do not see how a 5 trillion $ industry can be closed down in 5-10 years. Unless someone invents a nuclear-powered car that can run on a spoonful of U235 for 25 years at a stretch Here's what BHPian SmartCat had to say about the matter:There will always be a balance between sales of ICE & electric vehicles. From an economic point of view, if demand for EVs is such that demand for oil starts trending downwards, then the price of oil will fall too. Petrol/diesel prices slowly trending downwards from Rs. 100 per litre to Rs. 20 per litre. What is likely to happen to ICE vehicle demand then? But hypothetically, let's assume that we have widespread adoption of EVs: Jobs will be lost in some industries and jobs will be gained in others. Since the process of transport electrification is likely to be slow, there will be enough time for the job market to adjust. Remember that charging infrastructure needs to be setup all over the country in public places and also at individual homes if we are talking about serious electrification of transport in India. That should make up for any job deficit in assembly or component manufacturing. Even at the macro level, job losses in the oil industry should be covered by job gains in lithium mining or power generation or R&D. Known lithium reserves are low only because people have recently started looking for it. Lithium is not exactly rare like Gold. Also, lithium can be recycled or an alternative to lithium can be 'discovered' over the course of time.Here's what BHPian sukarsan had to say about the matter:Quite often there is a tendency to think EVs will replace ICE. There will always be a dynamic equilibrium. Today the market is split between Petrol/Diesel/CNG/Electric. Flex fuel and H2 will be a part of this mix in the coming years. Coming to pass car industry, I guess the current split for new car sales is ballpark 40(P)/30(D)/20(CNG)/10(EV) (best guess in my experience). This (90% ICE and 10% EV split) will eventually be a different ratio, due to market forces and ICE will always have a lead. In conclusion, for ICE, growth will taper down gradually and I don't expect any new investment or recruitment into the ICE ecosystem. There will be job losses as such. This however will be limited to the pass car market. It will be ICE as usual for trucks, tractors, gensets and allied industries. However, there are countries which have made a pledge for 100% electrification. Based on these pledges, these companies started negotiating with their unions and have been preparing for fewer people employed in assembly lines for years now. (Mainly German companies). In my personal opinion, I think this is a strategic move. The companies will have the leverage over the unions and these targets are always pushed forward as per the convenience of the automakers. Side Note: The phrase 'Dynamic Equilibrium' was used by my colleague for the blending of ethanol in Petrol in Brazil. The blend ratio is based on many things like demand for sugar, petrol, election cycle, global politics, war etc. I found the term to be very apt and have found it quite useful in explaining past and future trends to my friends and colleagues.Here's what BHPian Ravi Parwan had to say about the matter:One of the prime reasons you see so many fewer people in an EV factory compared to an ICE factory is that with time most processes move towards automation and reduction of manual effort. Compare today's newspaper printers to their state 20-30 years ago. Then you go to a neighborhood printer and you find the same tech being used where a person manually snatches/replaces the paper between every pass of the machine. My point is that for many of these industry players, the cost of modernization is not justified for the scale of operations. Hence what we see as representative of the ICE industry is maybe 40-50-year-old technology while new capacity coming up will mostly be using maybe 10-20-year-old technology. This in my opinion is why we feel that the EV industry employs fewer people. Going forward, I agree that there will be an equilibrium in place. Jobs will be reduced in some industries while being generated in other industries.Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

We're sitting on ticking bomb of joblessness, have concrete plan for providing jobs: Cong

New Delhi, Mar 27 (PTI) Attacking the Centre over the issue of unemployment, the Congress on Wednesday claimed the country is sitting on a icking bomb of joblessness with the youth bearing the brunt of the Modi government's apathy and asserted that it has a concrete plan for providing jobs to them. Citing the India Employment Report 2024 released by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Institute of Human Development (IHD), Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge urged people to remember before voting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to provide 20 crore jobs in 10 years but snatched more than 12 crore jobs from the youth. Our Youth is bearing the brunt of Modi government's pathetic apathy, as ever-rising Unemployment has destroyed their future. ILO & IHD Report conclusively says that the Unemployment problem is grim in India, he said. They are conservative, we are sitting on a 'ticking bomb' of joblessness! Kharge said in a post on X. But the Modi government's Chief Economic Advisor protects the dear leader, by saying 'government can't solve all social, economic problems such as unemployment', he said. Kharge cited that the ILO report says that 83 per cent of jobless Indians are youths and only 17.5 per cent of the youth in rural areas are engaged in regular work. Share of people employed in industry and manufacturing has remained the same since 2012 at 26% of the total workforce. The percentage of youth involved in economic activities decreased from 42% in 2012 to 37% by 2022, he said, citing the report. Therefore, compared to the Congress-led UPA government, fewer young people are involved in economic activities under the Modi dispensation due to an acute scarcity of jobs, Kharge said. Compared to 2012, youth unemployment has tripled under the Modi government, he claimed. That is why the Congress has brought in 'Yuva Nyay', he said. Kharge listed the guarantees of the Congress under 'Yuva Nyay', such as filling up nearly 30 lakh vacant central government posts. He also highlighted the right to apprenticeship law for degree/diploma holders, which will guarantee them apprenticeship with an assistance of Rs 1 lakh per year. The Congress Party guarantees that we will put a full stop on paper leaks by bringing a new law and will also bring a new law for social security and working conditions in gig economy, he said. A Fund will be created with an amount of Rs 5,000 Cr which will be distributed in all the districts of the country. Each district will get 10 Cr from the fund, he added. Before you vote, do remember ...! Modi ji promised 20 Crore Jobs in 10 Years, but snatched more than 12 crore jobs from the youth! the Congress chief said. Congress leader P Chidambaram also attacked the BJP-led central government over Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran's reported remarks that the government cannot solve all social and economic problems. The former finance minister asserted that his party has a concrete plan to tackle unemployment which will be revealed in its manifesto. Nageswaran reportedly asserted on Tuesday that it was incorrect to think that government intervention could solve every social and economic challenge, contending that a diagnosis was easier than a solution when it concerned problems like unemployment. In a post on X, former finance minister Chidambaram said, The most startling confession has been made by the Chief Economic Adviser. He said that 'Government cannot solve the problem of unemployment'. Shocking. If that is the official stand of the BJP government, we must boldly tell the BJP 'vacate your seat', he said. The Congress has a concrete plan to tackle the issue of unemployment and it will be revealed in its manifesto, Chidambaram said. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also slammed the Centre over the issue of unemployment, saying the youth have understood that the BJP cannot provide employment and her party has a concrete plan for providing jobs to them. Citing the India Employment Report 2024, Gandhi pointed out that out of the total unemployed people in India, 83 per cent are youths. The share of educated youth in the total unemployed was 35.2% in 2000. In 2022, it has almost doubled to 65.7%, she said. On the other hand, the Prime Minister's Chief Economic Advisor is saying that 'the government cannot solve the problem of unemployment', the Congress general secretary said. This is the truth of the BJP government, she added. Today every youth of the country has understood that BJP cannot provide employment. Congress Party has a concrete plan to provide employment to the youth, Gandhi said. The Congress has been attacking the government on issues of price rise and unemployment and has held it responsible for people's problems.

Humanities yay or nay? A look into Students' interest decline in course enrollment threatens jobs in Kerala

KOCHI: The past few years have seen a sharp decline in the number of students applying for humanities courses in high school. Last year, nearly 30 batches in the state lacked an adequate number of students, a trend more noticeable in the southern districts. In view of this, several batches were outright removed from the upcoming academic year in the region, a move which invariably also means that several teachers are likely to lose their jobs. This is particularly worrying, says Sakkeer Sainudheen, the state president of the Kerala Higher Secondary School Principals Association (KHSSPA). According to the body, the primary reason for this decline in interest in humanities is the popularity of skill-oriented courses among students and parents. Science vs Humanities A glance at the admission pattern makes this very evident, explains Sakkeer. Students with top marks prefer the science stream. The courses in that branch are witnessing a rush. Last year, the state government was forced to increase science batches in many schools, especially in the Malabar region, he says. Martin T G, the principal of Cardinal HSS in Kochi, seconds this theory. According to him, the past years have seen a gradual decrease in the number of students opting for humanities. The situation was worse last year. The extent of this decline and how many schools are without the adequate number of students in this stream will only become clear after the directorate of higher secondary education publishes their survey, he says. However, with the departments recent order stipulating that the minimum number of students per batch should be 25, the numbers are bound to rise further. After the science stream, the Commerce courses get the next best students. Those who want to aim for the UPSC examinations tend to opt for it more, Martin adds, much to the detriment of the humanities branch. The allure of going abroad Another factor that has likely become a bane for the humanities stream is a desire among students to go abroad. Since the chances of landing a job in foreign countries are higher if you are from the science stream, many opt for that, even if it means abandoning their interest in arts and humanities. Since nurses are most sought after in foreign countries, nursing courses have seen a boom in the past decade. A background in the science stream is a prerequisite to joining nursing courses in Kerala. Gone are the days when only medicine and engineering courses mattered. Now, paramedical courses too are gaining interest among youngsters. But what about the humanities? Maybe it is time to project the positives of this stream, says Martin. Why humanities? Humanities is a vast subject area, says James V George, the assistant professor of commerce at Sacred Heart College, Kochi. It is a vast subject encompassing culture, human lives and emotions , of the past and the present, and the possibilities of the future. It opens doors to innumerable higher studies options, he asserts. However, James admits that the idea of education has changed from learning to skill development and this, he says, is precisely what has crippled the humanities stream. The public is aware of what skills one gains from engineering and similar professional courses. They know what job markets can open to them. But humanities remains a mystery. Though there are umpteen opportunities, not many are aware of them, he says. Theres a misconception among many that the humanities is a course that one opts for when they dont like to study science. Not many choose subjects like history, economics or languages for the love of it, James adds. To crack an exam vs job Anil Kumar, a former archaeology professor at Kerala University, says that it is unfair to take humanities just for the sake of getting a job. Nowadays, not many pursue a career in the same stream as the studies. This is true for the humanities too. It is easy to crack the PSC examination and similar competitions if one takes up subjects such as history, he says. Fr Jose Charuil, the principal of St Johns Model HSS in Nalachira, says his school is still witnessing a good number of students opting for humanities. Every year, we have around 60 students in the batch. Most of them join as they want to appear for civil service and other national-level examinations, he says. This phenomenon is also observed in colleges. I had a student who wanted to be a police officer but studied Physics for graduation. However, he couldnt crack the written test. So, he joined the archaeology course as it has History as a subject. Finally, he cracked the test and is an SI now, says Anil. From office jobs to research, humanities and liberal arts are packed with choices, he adds. Umpteen career options For those who want to stay with the subject, James makes it clear that research opportunities are aplenty in top institutions across the country, including the IITs. Malayalis tend to consider the humanities as a subject with less privilege. They have no inkling about the career options that this branch paves the way for. This lack of awareness needs to be addressed, he says, while also adding, Kerala needs to develop the syllabus available for this stream and make it relevant to the current scenario. Only then can it flourish. Sajith Thomas, career consultant at CareerTestLive, concurs. Humanities is a much more developed course outside the state. One can have a double or triple major in the subject at foreign universities. Lack of proper guidance is one hindrance for students from Kerala, he says. According to him, the career options are plenty. There are options in finance, stock market, service industry, graphic design, animation and interior designs, Sajith says. Social services, psychology, law, international relations, political science and then languages there are many subjects that humanities students passionate about society can take up for higher studies and consider building a career in. However, with the advent of AI, it is important that the syllabus is updated, he says. In focus After the directorate of higher secondary education publishes the survey on admission patterns, more than 120 schools without 25 students in the Humanities will lose the batch and teachers positions.

With focus on career dreams, Gen Z goes zzz... over polls & politics on campuses in Kerala

KOCHI: With the recent controversies over campus politics in Kerala, one might expect the majority of college students in the state to be caught in the heat and dust of election action. Well, that does not seem to be the case. The elections couldnt have come at a worse time for a major chunk of young voters, who are now laser-focused on their semester exams. Unlike in the past, when elections used to be hot topics of discussion among students on college campuses, there clearly is a lull this time. The new crop of students, especially the first-time voters, seem to be apolitical, says Neha Valsaraj, a second-year BA English student at Pazhassi Raja NSS College in Mattannur, Kannur. Whether national or regional, politics does not stir them. Their attitude is as if all the hullabaloo around doesnt affect them. Aravind K S, a third-year MSc student at Cusat in Ernakulam, echoes similar observations. Besides those actively involved in student politics, others are largely disinterested in political activities, he says. If we were to take a survey on the campus, the numbers would clearly illustrate the current scenario. The majority are students who prefer to remain neutral. Heavyweight candidates such as BJPs Rajeev Chandrashekar and Congresss Hibi Eden have understood this trend, and are striving to attract young voters by announcing new-gen projects and connecting with them on a personal level. In a move to attract students in the tech sector, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the NDA candidate in Thiruvananthapuram, has promised to set up AI labs in 10 colleges in the constituency. Meanwhile, Congress and LDF leaders such as Hibi, K Muraleedharan, M K Raghavan, Elamaram Kareem and K K Shailaja have been visiting campuses and engaging directly with students. Sivaram, a second-year student at Ernakulam Government Law College, the student community on campuses can be divided into three groups. The first group has clear-cut affiliations to political parties, the second votes based on the candidates profile, and, finally, those who dont delve much into poll politics, he says. The last group forms the majority. Moreover, nobody has any time to think about politics due to exams. The only thing that bothers these apolitical students are their marks and career prospects, says Aravind. According to student organisations, many of these students might not even exercise their franchise, he adds. NDA candidateRajeev Chandrasekhar interactingwith students of LBS Institute, TPuram Kerala enrols nearly three lakh young voters in five months 3.88L young voters in Kerala Lack of job opportunities here, and the lure of greener pastures abroad are also making students apolitical. Its as if: We wont be here, so why bother? Neha points out another factor: the ban on campus politics by autonomous colleges. Unlike in the past, most campuses, except government ones, dont have active student politics, she says. Agreeing with Neha, Sarin S, a fourth-year BTech student at Saintgits College of Engineering (Autonomous) in Kottayam, says, Students are not politically aware. Ask students on our campus, and you will find that most would vote for a party or candidate as instructed by their families. He adds that theres also a general disdain among the youth that whoever wins elections would only worry about filling ones own pocket and do nothing for the countrys welfare. Are any efforts being made to make students more politically aware? Yes, a lot of awareness campaigns are being held in colleges, says Vaidyanathan S, first-year B.Com student at St Josephs College, Devagiri, in Kozhikode. Student leaders have been campaigning. They have also been training students on the process of voting and its importance. Awareness campaigns are being held by the district administration as well, says Neha. However, this doesnt necessarily translate to political awareness among students, she adds.

25 Indians promised lucrative jobs in Thailand, forced to commit cyber fraud from Laos; two held

Mumbai, Mar 26 (PTI) Mumbai police have arrested two persons after it emerged that over 25 Indians were lured with offers for high-paying jobs in Thailand but taken to Laos, where they were forced to work in call centres that scammed people in Europe, the US, and Canada, an official said on Tuesday. The arrest of agents Jerry Jacob (46), whom police described as the kingpin of the racket, and his associate Godfrey Alvares (39) came on the complaint of one Siddharth Yadav (23). The case, registered on March 23, also names another agent named Sunny. Thane resident Siddharth Yadav and three others, who too were victims of the job syndicate, had managed to return from Laos with the help of the Indian embassy in the Southeast Asian country. Yadav told the police he flew to Thailand in December 2022 hoping to earn good money but was taken to a place in Laos, near the Thailand border. Accused Jacob, Alvares and Sunny allegedly made Yadav and about two dozen Indians work in call centres that scammed people in Europe, the US and Canada through fake social media accounts, the official said. The call centres imposed hefty fines on employees citing flimsy reasons, Yadav said in his complaint. The complainant said he and three others were thrashed by the accused when they approached the Indian embassy in Laos for their return. After the intervention by the Indian embassy, the local police rescued the youngsters, including Yadav, the official said. The police have pressed charges against the accused for criminal intimidation, wrongful confinement, trafficking, and cheating under the Indian Penal Code, and Immigration Act. Both the accused persons were arrested on Monday evening when they had come to meet their family members in the city, an official said. During their interrogation, it came to light that they were trying to flee the country within a couple of days, he said. The crime branch team got information that the accused persons were running the job racket for the last four years, said Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishal Thakur. So far, more than 10 victims have approached Mumbai Police after they returned from Laos, he said. It is suspected that the members of the gang may have duped over 100 jobless youngsters across the country by luring them with jobs in foreign countries in the last couple of years, said another officer. Both the arrested accused were produced before the court on Tuesday which remanded them in police custody till March 30, he said, adding that further investigation is underway.
