00:04Good evening, you're watching To The Point. I'm Preeti Chaudhary. Lots of developments taking place in the Thuysha death case.
00:10We'll continue to get you the latest. First up, allow me to take you through the headlines.
00:1710 days after being on the run, Thuysha's husband Samarth Singh surrenders before Jabalpur court. He was absconding since Thuysha's
00:24death made the 12th.
00:28Shocking images from Mumbai Demolition Drive. Incident caught on camera. Protester seen throwing cement labs at cops. Stone pelting also
00:36reported during Bandra demolition.
00:42Another neat accused arrested from Maharashtra. Doctor held classes in hospital to facilitate paper leak. NTA tells parliamentary panel that

01:13Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari meets Prime Minister Modi at his residence in Delhi. The meet lasts for around 45
01:21minutes. Suvendu gifted Prime Minister a portrait of Bankam Chandra Chattopadhyay.
01:30Delhiites continue to suffer in sweltering temperatures. According to a report, all 50 of the world's hottest cities are in
01:37India. IMD says severe heatwave conditions do prevail till the 28th of May.
02:11Delhiites continue to suffer in India.
02:12And they are moving an application before the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
02:16I want to bring in my colleague Anisha for a larger understanding. Anisha, earlier on when he wanted to surrender
02:21at the Jabalpur court, protocol demanded that he go back to Bhopal.
02:26Now it seems his lawyers are running, are actually going to submit an application, move an application before the Chief
02:34Judicial Magistrate.
02:35So as to allow Samarth to surrender in Jabalpur itself.
02:42All right, I'll come back to you. Anisha, just one minute. The reason I'm interrupting you is I want to
02:46cut across to Mr. Navnidhi Sharma. He is Twisha's father.
02:51Sharma Ji, thank you very much. Thank you for joining us right now, taking the time out, sir.
02:58Sharma Ji, what are the developments that are happening in Jabalpur court in Jabalpur court, what are you content?
03:12Sharma Ji, what are you content?
03:39Surrender. Give it to Allah. What is this?
03:41You're game.
03:43Insurance thing is, you're oveněś judiciary with majority.
03:45Hurray your advocate is, our advocates can be killed, he's Tward puntos that, wherever our bodies of �70afs could be
04:07repeatedly,
04:13He is saying that the route of Jablapur has found that Jablapur has found a look-out notice.
04:22He has a look-out notice. He should be in the custody.
04:27He should be in the custody. Surrender is not said to the district court.
04:31The Honorable High Court has said that you can surrender to the district court.
04:36Mr Sharma, why do you think, what is the reason behind it? Why is he doing this?
04:39This is the tactic. This is the tactic to avoid the custody.
04:45So you are saying this is all planned? This is to avoid custody?
04:49This is all planned. This is all influence which is playing under your eyes.
04:54Your media has been threatened. Your media has been threatened.
04:57My advocate has been threatened and beaten.
05:03He is a man of repute. He is a man of repute for 35 years practicing.
05:08He has never seen this kind of incidents.
05:10You see this. This is happening. This is a black day.
05:17And Mr Sharma your appeal is that he should not be allowed to surrender in Jablapur.
05:22That is your appeal?
05:23This is a total failure of administration. Total failure. This is showing the clear influence.
05:30This is showing. This is very, very difficult. We are in a very difficult position.
05:35Madam, I will join you because I am in a hurry. I am on a way.
05:39Right. I want to ask you one quick question, sir. Before I let you go, just one quick question.
05:43The second post-mortem has been allowed by the court. Are you with?
05:49Yes, it has been allowed and the panel will be finalized by the AIMS director or with the director of
05:55the court, High Court.
05:57So, we are waiting for that. We are looking for the development. I will come back to you later, madam.
06:04Thank you, Mr Sharma, for taking the time out and joining us.
06:07Alright, so there you have it. Navnidhi Sharma, Tuisha's father, extremely angry, livid.
06:13As per Tuisha's family, these are all ways of trying to subvert justice for Tuisha,
06:20where an attempt be made that he surrenders in Jablapur, therefore he will not be arrested.
06:25And I want to cut across to my colleague, Anisha Mathur, who is standing by giving us the latest details.
06:32Anisha, in terms of the legal developments, one really does have to understand the apprehensions and the contention of Tuisha's
06:39father,
06:40where he says this is all pressure, tactics which are playing out.
06:44This is influence that we can see, where you have Samarth, who is looking to surrender in Jabalpur,
06:50when he needs to surrender in front of the investigating officer and taken under arrest.
06:54Well, Preeti, let me clarify a little bit here.
06:58Samarth did not have to surrender before the investigation officer.
07:02The High Court very clearly said he can surrender before the court or before the investigation officer.
07:07Which is why we've seen this last couple of hours of footballing, really.
07:13Preeti, because Samarth chose to appear before a court.
07:18The judge was not there.
07:20The magistrate on duty was simply not there in the court.
07:24Then followed this hour, couple of hours of him going from courtroom to courtroom,
07:31while we were all watching and questioning what on earth is really going on.
07:35At the same time, Preeti, the question really goes to the police, because this, as we've been discussing this,
07:43this is a cognizable offence.
07:46This means that if the ACP of the area, the SHO, finds out that a person who is accused of
07:52this heinous crime is within their jurisdiction,
07:55that they should then direct their officials to go and arrest him.
08:01The only place that Samarth could not have been arrested was if he was actively inside the courtroom,
08:07which he was not.
08:08He was roaming around in the court corridors.
08:10So he could have been arrested.
08:12Anisha, will you stay with me and continue to give us your legal perspective?
08:15I am quickly joined by Ashish Sharma, Tuisha's cousin.
08:19I believe he needs to leave very quickly, understandably.
08:22He needs to go and meet a lawyer.
08:24Ashish, with the way these developments are taking place…
08:27So kind of you for appreciating.
08:28No, I just want to come to you, Ashish.
08:30Thank you for taking the time out and joining us.
08:32The current developments, we spoke to Tuisha's father, your uncle,
08:35and he says this is all an attempt to subvert justice and this is influence playing out.
08:44My question is that who is more powerful?
08:48Who has the authority?
08:49Do you have the authority of Madhya Pradesh?
08:51Do you have the authority of Madhya Pradesh?
08:52Do you have the authority of Madhya Pradesh?
08:54Does the constitution of India rule this state or they have their own andhakaanun?
09:00These are the questions that must be asked to the authorities here.
09:08The law itself is subjudice to their house, to the people who are connected to them.
09:13I am telling you this person presented himself at the Jawabar court
09:17because he is having adequate degree of collusion and protection at their court.
09:22The senior officers of this court must be inquired.
09:26This entire judiciary in this state is under question now.
09:32Ashish, what you want right now or what is the appeal of your family,
09:36which is including, we spoke to Tuisha's father,
09:38that he should have been taken under arrest immediately, is that what your appeal is?
09:45Absolutely, yes.
09:47All those who have colluded with this family, not only the police,
09:50but the senior, very senior judicial officers, the constitutional position holders,
09:54the names of which have been identified, and if you further investigate whom did they call,
10:00they must have called people in this court of Jawabar from that day,
10:05since that sister died to this day.
10:07They all are colluding, they all are a party to this crime.
10:12So not only this Samarth must be arrested, the police must be questioned,
10:16that do you require in this year of 2026 to announce rewards?
10:24That means you are not needed, and this has been proven,
10:27when you were not catching him, you were just announcing reward,
10:31expecting somebody to be bringing this person to you.
10:36There was hardly any attempt by the police.
10:39This is a shame on the police of Madhya Pradesh.
10:43This person does not deserve to be given such kind of a leeway.
10:50I am not able to understand what on earth is compelling the authorities in Madhya Pradesh
10:55to stay subjudiced to this family.
10:58As I said, what kind of lies and what kind of favours have you conducted among yourself?
11:05What is the fear that is allowing this family to perpetrate whatever they are doing?
11:14This is an absolute case of favourism.
11:16This is an absolute case of I scratch your back and you scratch my back.
11:22This is all that is what is happening.
11:24You can see that these are...
11:25So, Ashish, what you are saying is, despite of the media pressure,
11:31despite of the civil society pressure,
11:33he continues with his family in collusion with what you are saying,
11:37with the lower courts and trying to manipulate the system.
11:41That's what you are saying.
11:41Absolutely, you get the reports of this retired judge,
11:43and you will get to know whom she is colluding with,
11:46whom she is calling for help.
11:48If this country does not have those mechanisms to understand,
11:50to identify the people who are party to it,
11:53then we are an absolute failure.
11:56This country will not be able to provide justice to all and alike.
12:01The case in any case, Ashish, has now been transferred to the CBI.
12:06The CBI is investigating the case.
12:08Do you have faith that it will, you know, with time, justice will be delivered?
12:13Is there faith in the system?
12:18Authority, which investigation agency, which most of us believe,
12:22and I mean the common people believe that they would be sharp and they would be impartial.
12:28And this is a small glimmer of hope in this entire dark,
12:35the last ten days that we have felt harassment and horror.
12:41The scenes that you are seeing today, this is what was happening in the court at Bhopal
12:46when Justice Garibala Singh was granted bail.
12:49But these captures were not made.
12:51This is exactly the scene that the family witnessed,
12:55the horror that the family witnessed in the court of Bhopal.
12:58So, CBI is a great welcome.
13:01We are thankful to the Honorable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh
13:05for demanding the center for the CBI investigation.
13:10But important is how early CBI gets into activation
13:13and the influence that is continuously being allowed and that need to be shielded.
13:23Ashish, there was an appeal by your family that a second post-mortem of Tuisha be conducted.
13:30The courts have now allowed that.
13:33Is there a sense of peace?
13:35Because at least with what your family wanted for a second post-mortem,
13:40that has now been allowed?
13:44Absolutely true, ma'am.
13:45This second post-mortem was demanded so that the suspicions and the sentences
13:51that were absolutely opposite to what was told through the first PM report
13:57and through the police to us.
14:01But they were continuously denying this PM too.
14:04Fortunately, after a lot of struggle, first with the police,
14:08then with the Sessions Court at Bhopal and then finally to the High Court,
14:12this decision has been made.
14:15There is really a sense of peace,
14:17not only for the fact that the evidences can now be collected from the body of deceased Tuisha,
14:23but at the same time, it has given us a hope that now, sooner or later,
14:28we would be able to cremate her with all due respect to her mortal remains.
14:33So that was the question that simply, basically, I would say a private matter and a feeling that cannot be
14:44expressed to the media.
14:45But this is something that is going on in the minds of not only the family, which is staying here,
14:49but back home,
14:50who expected us to bring her there.
14:52And then, you know, the cremation and the subsequent rituals that happen in a Hindu family.
14:59So it's a great pain that you ask the mother how she's feeling.
15:04She's consistently on drifts and was taken to hospital day before, discharged today morning.
15:11And just because of the fact that we are not able to cremate her.
15:14And we are not able to cremate because the system is harassing us.
15:17The system has put us to our knees.
15:20Our heart goes out to you. I'll ask you one one quick question, Ashish, because I know you need to
15:24go.
15:24You need to meet your lawyers. And that one question that I want to ask you is that at least
15:29right now,
15:29you said the systems brought you to the knees and we're very sorry that your family has to go through
15:33what they're going through.
15:34But now you have the Madhya Pradesh police that has moved high court seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail for Giribala
15:42Singh.
15:43Are you in that sense? Do you have hope that even that bail will be cancelled?
15:47Or do you think there's further scope of trying to manipulate the system?
15:55On the outward, I would say, yes, these are positive indications.
15:59But from the bottom of my heart, I would express that I do not see as hope.
16:04You know why? Because it indicates systemic errors.
16:07It indicates systemic loss of ethics.
16:11Instead of going there to get the bail cancelled,
16:14I would say that first go to people who actually granted bail to her.
16:18Go to the people who were just transferring the courts.
16:21Ask the family how many courts they were required to go from one to one.
16:28Be held by the people who were standing over there.
16:32Those questions, those people should be questioned.
16:37It's not just correcting something by going for an appeal, that is one thing.
16:45But just identify the root.
16:49I hear you, Ashish. I do hear you.
16:51And please act on that.
16:54No, Ashish, I hear you.
16:56Is there, you know, before you leave, is there a message,
16:59is there something that you want to give?
17:01Is there something that you want?
17:03Is there an appeal?
17:06Definitely.
17:07The first appeal is,
17:10that please fast track the PM2,
17:12so that the cremation can be conducted at the earliest.
17:16Because this fight is very big, it is very long,
17:18and it will not be finished quickly.
17:19Today, what you have seen in Javalpur,
17:21all of these things will continue to be continued.
17:25Today, we have many who are with the father,
17:29because,
17:30and I'm sorry if I hurt somebody,
17:33because the public memory is still with us.
17:36It can happen afterwards,
17:37and it won't go alone.
17:39So, the appeal is,
17:40that the PM2 will continue,
17:44so that we can cremate her.
17:46Number two,
17:47we have full faith in the CBI.
17:49Please,
17:50fast track it,
17:51please immediately get the CBI activated,
17:53so that,
17:54whatever,
17:55Gundagardi that you are seeing in this Javalpur court,
17:58and where the,
17:59even,
18:00forget about my family,
18:01the reporters are being threatened,
18:04the reporters are being beaten,
18:05chairs being thrown on them.
18:07This is unprecedented in India's history.
18:10This cannot go that way.
18:13Who are they?
18:14Are they the ones who are running this country?
18:16Who are they?
18:17Who are they?
18:19Who are they?
18:20Who are they?
18:20Who are they?
18:22Who are they?
18:23No one can give the answer.
18:25Is this so big,
18:26that the police is not able to catch them,
18:29and the media is reaching them?
18:32They have made a mockery.
18:33Now,
18:34you think that,
18:35when the entire media is with us,
18:36it's still this,
18:37this,
18:38this dropping.
18:40So,
18:40a person who,
18:41who,
18:42who,
18:42who,
18:43who,
18:43who,
18:43who,
18:44who,
18:44who,
18:45who,
18:47who,
18:48who,
18:52who,
19:00who,
19:10by the flu,
19:15who,
19:16who,
19:17who,
19:19who,
19:20who,
19:21who,
19:23who,
19:23who,
19:23who,
19:23very clear that this is subversion of justice this is collusion at the lower courts and manipulating
19:29the system of people as powerful as this family yeah um look why he's approached jabalpur there's
19:40obviously some kind of strategy there some of it may be visible some of it may be not known to
19:46the
19:46public i don't know what their connections in jabalpur are but the fact is that the police
19:51should not be you know in the cb the cases with the cbi i don't know why they've not gotten
19:55you know activated uh in this case yet um or no none of these institutions are toothless
20:05you know wherever he has chosen to surrender it is not as if there's no power to do anything so
20:12you know why why is it taking so long um you know to to get basic procedures in place uh
20:19why is it
20:20taking so long uh for you know even even the the question of a second autopsy it's taken so long
20:27um you know for the court to finally agree to it and i completely i mean more power to twisha's
20:33family that is fighting this case and tooth and nail and having to fight it on multiple fronts
20:40because it is very clear that uh you know twisha's in-laws they're taking this the mother-in-law is
20:46taking this battle to the media there are almost daily press conferences um and and you know
20:53there's clearly this the battle is trying to be is sought to be fought on this front as well
20:58and that's dragging twisha's family into onto this front and for having to fight battles on multiple
21:04fronts uh that is completely unfair they're a family that's not been allowed to grieve their request
21:09for a second post-mortem uh you know was was uh sought to be painted as an uncaring family unwilling
21:18to
21:18even perform their daughter's last rites everything they say everything she has said has been twisted
21:24and frankly i don't even know why uh these accused are continuing to speak to the media when frankly
21:33every press conference and every statement that seems to come from uh you know uh twisha's mother-in-law
21:41only makes her look worse you know mihra i want to ask you allow me to ask you one question
21:47because
21:48what most people are not understanding is and one can you know hear it in the frustration of the
21:53family every time they speak because if it is a case of dowry harassment if it is a case of
21:58domestic
21:59violence in terms of dowry then the onus lies on the accused which is the family what one doesn't
22:06understand mihra is how is it that girbala saying the mother-in-law had got anticipatory bail because
22:13in all of this uh you know this is immediate arrest and i understand every time you speak to the
22:18father
22:19you speak to the brother because they they just don't can't seem to uh you know uh put it in
22:24words
22:24on how frustrated they are usually the family should have been arrested immediately you know
22:30anticipatory bail is denied where even when there is far less evidence than this and in this case
22:39there is so much in terms of you know the kind of conversations she had recorded conversations text
22:45messages etc that she had with her friends and family um you know anticipatory bail is not given in
22:51cases with far less evidence so it is it is shocking that her anticipatory bail was denied and the constant
22:57claim that you know we are being hounded and you know the idea that there is some persecution when in
23:03fact the law states that when a woman faces an unnatural death you know uh suffers an unnatural death
23:10within the first seven years of marriage it is presumed to be caused by dowry harassment and the onus is
23:17on the in-laws the husband and the in-laws um and in in this particular case there is specific
23:24allegations that were made in the in the lead up to this tragedy uh so anticipate rebail absolutely has
23:32to be cancelled and it is quite clear from we are seeing in the media i don't know how the
23:36police and
23:36the investigating authorities are you know sitting idle on this when we are seeing in the media
23:42you know her sister is in in the at the hospital uh you know trying to allegedly influence the
23:48post-mortem and uh you know all these things are going on and you know that she's uh she's a
23:55retired it's just implausible and it's suddenly now you have uh the madhya pradesh police that has
23:59woken up from its lumber and now are contesting uh and can for the cancellation of the anticipatory
24:04bail of giribala singh uh they've woken up only because of media pressure yeah you're right it is
24:10it is only media pressure it's it's nothing else everybody is only concerned with their public image
24:15true i agree with that uh you know i just want to bring in tarita shankar she was uh thwisha's
24:20professor tarita how are you looking at all these developments that have taken place
24:26hi pretty it's actually been a very harrowing last 10 days from the time that we came to know
24:31something like that has happened and it was unbelievable absolutely unbelievable because
24:36the thwisha that we knew she was in our university from 2011 to 2014 doing her bba she was one
24:43of the
24:43most sweetest bubbliest bold confident young girl i mean she was in her 20s early 20s 1920 and
24:51i mean she was very close to me at that time because i was like a mentor to her and
24:57because she got
24:58won a lot of accolades for the university she used to always come and meet me she was miss puni
25:02then
25:03she was she also won a couple of other contests she used to always walk the ramp for us she
25:07won a lot
25:07of competitions and she used to do a lot of anchoring for us and she was really close to me
25:12at that time
25:13and suddenly i mean after that five six years we were in touch but i think post covid we were
25:18not in
25:18touch and all i feel today i really feel unfortunate that something like that can happen to a girl like
25:24her
25:24if it can happen to her it can you can imagine to the girls who are not as bold and
25:29confident as
25:30her what will be there you know like in the world like i mean it is i don't want to
25:36address it and
25:37and give it legitimacy at all but one must speak of it because uh miss shankar you were her professor
25:43and there were charges that were leveled by her mother-in-law uh you know leave alone what she would
25:48have said to her when she was alive even after she was dead where she's called her that oh she
25:52was in
25:52the medication for schizophrenia basically suggesting that she had a mental illness number
25:57one uh number two uh that uh she was depressive number three uh you know if you look at the
26:04kind
26:04of conversations she has had over time even when tuisha was alive in terms of leaked conversations
26:10she's questioned her character multiple times as well and also suggested she was on drugs all of that
26:16how how do you view that not at all not at all i mean i've already said this multiple interviews
26:21in the last one week to everyone that trisha couldn't ever have been on drugs never absolutely
26:28not and if she was ever depressive in the last few months these people must have driven her to
26:34depression this was the girl who brought confidence to everybody this was the girl who brought a smile
26:39on everyone's face just three days back i had a prayer meet on my campus where nearly 100 plus of
26:45her
26:45classmates attended from all over india they came to pune to attend and all of them had only one thing
26:52that she brought a smile to our face when we were depressed she brought us out of depression she was

28:00both of you ladies for joining us thank you appreciate it i want to quickly now shift focus to the
28:05other
28:05big development that is taking place viewers which is the neat controversy which is now exploding inside
28:11parliament the nta director general was summoned by a parliamentary panel and has triggered fresh
28:17nationwide political storm even as the government insists there was no full-scale paper leak
28:22opposition parties are now pointing to contradictions within the system itself
28:31the need storm has now reached parliament the nta director general was summoned by a parliamentary panel
28:38but his defense has now triggered a nationwide controversy
28:45before the panel the nta dg reportedly denied that the need paper was leaked instead he claimed only a few
28:52questions were compromised a stand that has now sparked outrage among students parents and the
28:59opposition india today accessed six key takeaways from the meeting as per sources nta dg denied need
29:08uji 2026 paper leak he claimed that only questions were leaked he further told the panel that the agency
29:15noticed mild practices and hence cancelled the exam higher education secretary veneet joshi backed the nta chief's claims
29:24in the panel bjb mps reportedly targeted opposition and accused them of running paper leak agenda and opposition
29:32mps questioned government's intention
29:36the india chief is covering up the india debacle that has happened which has ruined the faith of the
29:46youngsters in competitive exams rahul gandhi has demanded education minister dharmin the pradhan's resignation
29:55interestingly the nta dg's defense differs from what dharmin the pradhan himself admitted last week
30:01on may 15th the minister acknowledged a break in the chain of command and said the government accepted
30:08responsibility
30:10yes paper me aysa kuch prasna aya hai joh is bar ki question chets me thar
30:18turanthi hum logon ki wahan charcha hui nta nne or sarkar ne education department
30:23higher education department has been arrested for allegedly buying a neat guest paper for relatives
30:53appearing in the exam investigators alleged that before the exam special sessions were held at dr
31:00shishu's hospital which was attended by multiple medical aspirants for lacks of students need decides
31:08the future but with every contradiction and every fresh arrest questions over the integrity of the
31:14system are only growing louder bureau report india today
31:22joining me this evening puja atrapati spokesperson congress sanju varma national spokesperson bjp
31:28dr rajiv jadevan former president indian medical association kochi i want to cut across before we
31:35get into our political debate all three of you will get two minutes time to put your point forward dr
31:39jade
31:40uh jadevan i want i want to get an understanding because clearly there were paper leaks multiple
31:44at that uh at some levels one can even see that the test paper or practice paper completely mirrored
31:51the neat paper at least that has been what the understanding was when uh so many students
32:00lacks of students take an examination where even a few marks make a big difference in terms of uh a
32:09career choice uh you can't even leak one question out so whether it's one question two two questions
32:15or the entire paper it is foul so that is the first point secondly the objective of the examination
32:21is to select candidates who have superior knowledge concepts and skills over the others but lately
32:30we have all taken the medical intense examination in our careers uh not lately the the the onus has
32:37moved on from who has most knowledge to who has a secret copy of the secret questions and that is
32:43completely fouled and it has to stop now if the system is having so many loopholes and so many weak
32:51points uh there is no point in i'll give an example if there are repeated electrical failures inside a
32:58house with poor wiring you can't uh change it by simply changing a light bulb you've got to fix the
33:03wiring so there is a an underlying problem here and unless you fix the root cause uh this problem
33:10will continue to occur i'll tell you why because the financial stakes and the emotional stakes are so
33:16high in uh getting a copy of uh a of these entrance examination questions so there will be a lot
33:24of
33:24people including students their parents coaching centers and others who want to get that get get hold of
33:30these questions if we have paper uh questions that are sitting around in different boxes and being
33:36transported by korea or stored somewhere or printed there are so many points where these questions
33:42can leak as has repeatedly happened so this has to change well thank you there because every question
33:50that is leaked viewers mirrors the quality of the doctor who'd be treating you tomorrow i want to go
33:55across to our two spokespersons as well and let's begin with sanju varma uh miss varma it seems at
34:00least if you look at the chronology and the sequence of events it seems that the government may have
34:06admitted to a lot more than it had wanted to and why i say that is because you had the
34:12education minister
34:13dharmedra pradhan who admitted that there were leaked questions and took responsibility for it in a press
34:18conference and now you have the ntn chief who says there was no leak so because the blacklash was so
34:25much now there's a possible u-turn and the opposition calls it a cover-up
34:30you know pretty let's get one thing very clear the exam that was held the neat exam on the 3rd
34:37of may
34:382026 stands canceled there's a new exam that will be held on the 21st of june with admit cards being
34:44distributed on the 14th of june uh dharmedra pradhan has admitted and i stick to the official position
34:52of the modi government that yes there was a paper leak which should not have happened compromising the
34:58future of 23 lakh students sometimes it's very important to keep politics aside and address the
35:04elephant in the room and i think the biggest decision that the modi government has taken is to
35:11announce that come 2027 you will no longer have the neat exams in cbt format you will no longer have
35:19the neat exam pardon me in omr format you will have it in cbt format it will be basically a
35:25computer-based
35:26test i think that is great news because the omr format as we all know is susceptible to various
35:34malpractices and i think why this could have happened earlier because the radha krishnan committee
35:39suggested this in 2024 i said better late than never that's my point number one my point number
35:45two is that you know i would not like to politicize but since this has become a political hot potato
35:52i would also like to ask rahul gandhi priyanka it's very nice you are putting the government on the mat
35:59and
35:59asking for transparency accountability uh which any responsible opposition should be doing but there were
36:0624 paper leaks under ashok gehlot when he was the chief minister from 2018 to 2023
36:14rahul gandhi's own son
36:20is an accused in the teacher recruitment scam that was held under the aegis of the rajasthan government
36:27and that matter has still not been disposed of so will rahul gandhi ask for accountability
36:32okay ma'am your time okay let's let's take that question let's take that question to the congress
36:36spokesperson and ma'am you know the fact is uh dr triparty you can say and go after the government
36:43on the basis of the neat paper leak and you must do that because from 2024 that's where the government
36:50said that it needed to be sorted out it wasn't sorted out but you go back and sanju varma has
36:55a point
36:56there you go back to your rajasthan uh tenure and one of the main reasons dr triparty at that point
37:02of time for someone who covered the election was the reason for why you lost was the multiple paper
37:08leaks not i'm not talking about neat but across rajasthan in various uh vacancies the multiple paper
37:15leaks and especially the youth was so angry that it had happened under your watch so you lost an election
37:20on the back of that as well dr triparty what uh the statement that came out of nta to raise
37:28i'll
37:28answer sanju varma's question too you know it was tone deaf evasive as its insult to the millions of
37:34aspirations to burn their night oil and prepare for an exam in a in a hope for a better future
37:40i think this level of incompetence scares me this level of incompetence is you know it's scary to the
37:4723 lakh students and the 23 lakh families you just mentioned rajasthan i accept there were paper
37:51leaks in rajasthan and let me ask what rajasthan government did rajasthan government ashore
37:56giro took full responsibility rajasthan was the first state in the country to bring an anti-paper leak
38:01law there were more than 250 arrests that were happening the uh the rpsc chairman had was suspended
38:08from his position they were there were three coaching centers that were brought down they were
38:13bulldozer up action happening on various in 2024 central government brought an anti-paper leak law
38:19tell me how many officials tell me how many politicians and tell me how many people have
38:25been napped till now cbsc didn't doesn't file a charge sheet for 90 days and people get automatic
38:31bail these small uh kingpins of paper leak gags they get automatic bail because cbi doesn't uh file a
38:37charge sheet when you this is this you know what nta chairman did he smartly took the dharmin pradhan's
38:44uh rule book of divert digress denial and divert from the uh topic they said no it was not paper
38:52leak it's akin to saying titanic then sank they were just a few holes in it this this this level
38:58of you
38:59know denial is is is absolutely shocking you first say that there was no paper leak then you go on
39:06to
39:06cancel the paper may third paper dharmin the pradhan says sayog dj are you insulting the families of
39:13four students who committed suicide because they were harassed by the repeated paper leak are you
39:18insulting the families of 23 lakh people 23 lakh families who are on streets demanding justice
39:23dharmin the pradhan and nta chief nta director allow me to give all three of you one minute each to
39:29put
39:29your final submissions forward i would like to begin with dr jayadevan dr jayadevan the sheer fact now at
39:35least the government has understood it should have happened in 24 that it's going to be an online
39:39examination from next year would you think that could somewhere down the line plug the loopholes
39:45it definitely will because many similar exams done in india and elsewhere in the world are in the
39:52computer computer-based format for our viewers i'll say this the questions will appear on a screen and
39:59they will only be unlocked a few minutes before the exam starts so there is no chance of anyone getting
40:05hold of the questions because they're encrypted which means they're hidden and it's much easier
40:12to um to keep them secure rather than have uh tens of thousands of paper sheets sitting around
40:20in locked cabinets no fair point uh i can i i'll bring in sanju varma last one minute
40:29you know pretty i started by saying that there is no question of denial yes malpractice has happened
40:36and the system needs an overhaul i did not try to shove the uncomfortable truth under the carpet which
40:43the congress spokesperson failed to realize but i just want your audience to know this modi government
40:48should acknowledge the problem is resolving the problem now it will be a cbt test from 2027
40:542006 cbsc class 12 accountancy paper leak prime minister was manmohan singh all india engineering
41:01entrance examination 2007 prime minister was manmohan singh pmt pre-medical test paper leak 2008 congress
41:09in power pm manmohan singh aim center entrance exam 2012 pm manmohan singh kong thasutta me congress
41:15party cbsc class 10 and 12 paper leak in march 2014 congress was in power prime minister manmohan
41:40i have a similar list i have a similar list i have a similar list
41:52so if this has happened let's not shove the uncomfortable truth under the carpet and let's
41:57rehaul overhaul the system okay all right fair point okay dr tripathi the fact is at least now
42:04the government understands yes they should have done it in 24 now that's you know in hindsight hindsight
42:09it's always 20 20 it should have happened in 24 it didn't but at least the government has now
42:14understood that the only way to move forward is to bring the examination online and they're moving
42:18towards that uh let me start pretty by saying that prime minister modi has acknowledged the problem
42:26when did he acknowledge the problem we didn't see a statement by prime minister modi asking the
42:31students not to worry and he'll take action no he hasn't acknowledged there's all the time in the
42:36world to make reels on melody toffee but he'll not acknowledge the problems of the students who are
42:40out on the streets demanding justice against paper leaks first acknowledgement second you know this when
42:46you will you are repeatedly harping on uh congress congress congress you are actually exposing yourself
42:52as i said dharmin pradhan doesn't deserve to be in the day of office in 2024 he said leak
42:57paper started appearing today they said it's just a few questions the whistleblower mr suther has admitted
43:04that 120 out of 180 questions were there in the guest paper punctuation by punctuation word by word
43:11space by space 120 out of 180 questions one question takes the ranks to thousands and here
43:17120 questions have come and they said paper leak this is a master class in bureaucratic denial
43:23master class and okay that's all the time that's all the time that we have for i appreciate all three
43:29of you for taking the time out and joining us this evening have a good weekend
43:32one videos thank you for joining us
