Patna: A day after Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha claimed that the arrested prime suspect in the NEET "paper leak" is linked to officials associated with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the party hit back with a photo of another accused, Amit Anand, with Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

In an X post, RJD shared a photograph purportedly showing one accused, Amit Anand, alongside Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. The party alleged that Choudhary had removed all images with Anand from his social media profiles, insinuating attempts to distance himself from the scandal.

Addressing a press conference, Deputy Chief Minister Sinha had earlier asserted that officials connected to Yadav had facilitated accommodations for another accused Yadvendu in Patna and other locations. Sinha claimed to possess evidence in the form of messages sent from the official's mobile number, arranging these accommodations.

In response, the RJD dismissed Sinha's allegations as baseless, accusing him of attempting to deflect attention from the demands of NEET aspirants to annul the May 5 exam results. The NEET-UG 2024, administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), saw participation from over 24 lakh candidates across multiple cities.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.

It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.

"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.

"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.

The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.

Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
