RAJOURI/JAMMU: Two more children died on Monday after six kids from a family were admitted to hospital due to a mysterious illness at Badhaal village in Rajouri district, officials said. Six children of Mohammad Aslam were taken to the community health centre for a medical check-up on Saturday evening. The children were initially referred to the Government Medical College (GMC) Associated Hospital in Rajouri and later they were shifted to the SMGS Hospital in Jammu where 5-year-old Nabeena breathed her last on Sunday, they said. On Monday, Zahoor (14) and Maroof (8) died during treatment at the hospital. The village under the Kotranka sub-division has been grappling with a mysterious disease that claimed the lives of nine people from two different families since December last year. The latest deaths have taken the toll to 12, officials said. Six children were admitted to the hospital here. One girl died yesterday, while two more children passed away today. Nothing is known about the exact cause of the deaths yet. The health department has failed to identify the disease, Aijaz Ahmed, a close relative of the deceased children, told reporters here.

Dr Ashutosh Gupta, principal of GMC Hospital, had said last month that preliminary investigations pointed to a viral infection as the cause of the mysterious deaths.

Two sisters die after falling from fourth floor in Gurugram
Chandigarh: Two sisters in their early 20s died after falling from the fourth floor of a local businessman's house at Sector 40 in Gurugram, police said on Sunday. While the house owner's family claimed they fell from the balcony on Friday in a desperate bid to escape after a heft attempt, the deceased family has alleged foul play behind the deaths though no formal complaint of murder has been lodged yet, police said. The deceased have been identified as Chandni (23) and Rashmi (21), who hailed from Uttar Pradesh, they said. Chandni, who used to work at the businessman's residence as a domestic help, left the job around a month back, police said. The deceased lived in the servant's quarter of the building. The house owner told police that he and his family members were going to the Khatu Shyam temple in Rajasthan's Sikar district on Friday. However, they returned home after travelling some distance as he had forgotten to take his medicines, police said. On reaching home, they found the main door open before hearing a loud thud. As they rushed to the balcony and looked down, they saw the two sisters lying in a pool of blood below. Both were rushed to a nearby hospital where they were declared brought dead, police said. The house owner's family suspects that the two women broke into the house, as Chandni knew the access code of the electronic lock. Sector 40 police station SHO Lalit Kumar said the bodies have been handed over to the family after autopsy, adding that police are examining CCTV footage from the house.

Jaipur police arrest 14 involved in question paper leak case
JAIPUR: Jaipur police have arrested 14 people involved in the leakage of a question paper of an online examination conducted by the National Seeds Corporation. The investigation has unearthed a sophisticated cheating network and revealed an alarming collusion between candidates, computer lab operators, and examination centre employees. Among those arrested are computer lab operators and candidates who indulged in malpractice by using advanced software and digital tools during the examination. The police have confiscated key evidence including six admit cards, seven signed blank cheques, three laptops, a Wi-Fi router, a printer-scanner, and Rs 1,68,500 in cash. Eight suspects were detained by Jaipur police, while the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) apprehended six others. However, two key masterminds behind the operation remain at large, with authorities intensifying their search efforts. Initial investigations revealed that the cheating gang employed MEID software and other digital equipment to solve examination papers in real-time. Candidates had paid Rs 50,000 upfront for such services. The gang's network extends beyond this exam, as evidence indicates their involvement in other recruitment tests, including a Railway Protection Force examination conducted in December 2024 at a centre in Sikar. Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph stated that the National Seeds Corporation's computerized recruitment exam was targeted by cheating gangs. Acting on intelligence, the police traced and detained suspects, uncovering the gang's elaborate cheating mechanism during interrogation. Additional names linked to the operation have emerged, and further investigations are underway. The paper leak scandal has reignited concerns about systemic vulnerabilities in Rajasthan's examination process. Similar issues had also plagued the previous Congress-led government. Under the previous regime led by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, paper leak cases were reported in nearly a dozen recruitment examinations for government jobs in Rajasthan. The BJP had turned the paper leaks into a major poll issue in the assembly elections in the state last year. Ironically, the paper leaks seem to remain a persistent problem despite the BJP's one-year rule. With the state's examination integrity under scrutiny, authorities face mounting pressure to implement reforms and secure testing processes.
