The High Court has summoned four people including Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) Director General over the incident of sending one innocent person to jail in a case filed with ACC. The court issued rule to know why the wrong accused Jahalam will not be released. It also asked the concerned persons to answer the rule within four weeks.
Justice F R M Nazmul Ahsan and Justice K M Kamrul Kader delivered the order on Monday.
ACC Director General (Legal) Maidul Islam, plaintiff of the case, representative of Law Secretary and representative of Home Secretary were asked to give explanation after appearing before the court.
Innocent Jahalam is in jail for near about three years. The name of the convict in this case is Abu Salek. There are 33 cases against Salek for 18 and half crore taka forgery of Sonali Bank.
But innocent Jahalam is serving jail term and appearing before court instead of Abu Salek. He is a jute factory worker by profession. At present ACC is saying that Jahalam is innocent, it is proved. National Human Rights Commission also opined the same.
In fact Abu Salek was involved in the forgery. He opened 10 bank accounts with fake address. Of those there was a fake address of Jahalam’s nearby village. That turned Jahalam’s life miserable. Because, there was similarity between their faces. All the associated- bank and ACC officials identified Jahalam as Abu Salek.
Jahalam told police and before the court that he is Jahalam not Abu Salek but nobody paid attention to him.
Later during the investigation of Human Rights Commission it came into light that Abu Salek and Jahalam are not the same persons.

Cybercriminals can launch Denial-of-Service or DOS attacks once run on a computer-laptop system by the users. After the attack, all Chrome Bowsers are likely to crash. As a result, control will be completely in the hacker's hands.
World Teachers' Day 2024: What It Is, Why Is It Celebrated
Teachers are our second parents. They love us, nurture us, guide us, and impart wisdom. They teach us the skills and values that we require to navigate through life in the later stages. Teachers are our gurus and with their teachings, we can cross every hurdle that comes in front of us. Every year, World Teachers' Day is observed to pay our respects to the teachers who taught us the basics of life, and who broke the barriers of a classroom and taught us how to do life.
Date
Every year, World Teachers' Day is observed on October 5. This year, the special day falls on Saturday.
History
World Teachers' Day was established by UNESCO in 1994. In 1996, it commemorated the signing of - Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers. The recommendation focused on the rights, responsibilities, training, employment, and working conditions of the teachers. Since 1994, this day has been observed with each year focusing on a unique theme related to the advancements or the challenges faced by teachers all over the world.
Theme
The theme for this year’s World Teachers' Day is - Valuing Teacher Voices: towards a new social contract for education. According to the official website of UNESCO, this year's World Teacher's Day will focus on “the urgency of calling for and attending to teachers' voices to address their challenges but, most importantly, to acknowledge and benefit from the expert knowledge and input that they bring to education."
Why is it celebrated?
Teachers all over the world go through multiple challenges – from low wages to poor working conditions to the absence of quality education. This day focuses on the problems faced by them and raises awareness about the importance of the role that teachers play in our lives. It also serves as a day when students can express their gratitude for the teachers, and how they helped in shaping the lives of the ones they teach.

Court Orders Google to Open Android to Rival App Stores
Tech giant Google will have to open its Android smartphone operating system to rival app stores, a US judge has ordered. A California jury decided on Monday that Google wields illegal monopoly through its Android Play store.
This is yet another setback for the company after a different federal judge in August found that Google's search engine was also an illegal monopoly.
What does the verdict mean?
According to the order, Google cannot prohibit the use of in-app payment methods for three years and must allow users to download competing third-party Android app stores.
The order also restricts Google from making payments to smartphone makers to preinstall its app store, as well as from sharing revenue generated from the Play store with other app distributors.
The judge has also ordered the creation of a three-person technical committee to oversee the implementation of the changes and resolve any disputes that may arise. The order was effective starting November 1, the judge said, with some provisions given until July 1 to be implemented.
How did Google react?
Google is appealing the order. It argued that the changes which the judge ruled must be implemented would "cause a range of unintended consequences that will harm American consumers, developers and device makers."
"We look forward to continuing to make our case on appeal, and we will keep advocating for what is best for developers, device manufacturers and the billions of Android users around the world," said Lee-Anne Mulholland, the company's regulatory affairs vice president.
Phones using the Android software constitute some 70% of the world's smartphone market. Smartphone makers can install the Android app for free under the condition that the Play app store remains on the home page, and that other Google apps are pre-installed.
Committee Formed to Assess Spending on New Curriculum Implementation
A committee has been formed by the Ministry of Education to determine how much money has been spent on the implementation of the widely discussed and criticized new curriculum.
Confirming the matter on Wednesday, October 9, Professor Dr. A K M Riazul Hasan, Chairman of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), stated that a five-member committee has been formed to ascertain the total expenditure on implementing the new curriculum thus far. The committee will be led by a member of the NCTB and supported by four other members. Their task is to investigate and report how much money has been spent on the new curriculum implementation up to this point.
Earlier, on September 1, the Ministry of Education issued a notification stating that the new curriculum is not feasible for implementation. A revised curriculum will be taught from 2026.
The notification also mentioned that with the collaboration of education experts, curriculum and assessment specialists, education administrators, and representatives from civil society and parents, the final version of the revised curriculum will be completed in 2025 and fully implemented in 2026. It also stated that teaching and assessment will follow the curriculum from 2012 until then.
Nobel Prize in Literature to be Announced Today
The Nobel Prize winners are announced annually on the first Monday of October. Accordingly, last Monday (October 7), Tuesday (October 8), and Wednesday (October 9), the names of Nobel laureates in medicine, physics and chemistry were announced respectively. The name of the Nobel laureate in literature will be announced today (October 10) at 5 pm Bangladeshi time.
In 2023, Norwegian writer and playwright Jon Fosse won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Appreciating his plays and literature, the Swedish Academy said Jon Fosse brought out many things that remained unspoken in his writings.
All information about the award announcement can be seen directly on the Nobel Prize website. All announcements of this year's Nobel Prizes are broadcast live on nobelprize.org and the Nobel Prize Committee's YouTube channel.
Two American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were jointly announced on Monday as the 2024 Nobel Prize winners in medicine or pharmacology.
The Karolinska Institute's Nobel Assembly said the prize was awarded to them 'for the discovery of microRNAs and their role in post-transcriptional gene regulation'.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Tuesday decided to jointly award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton.
"The award was given to them for 'fundamental discoveries and innovations that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks," the academy said.
The Academy on Wednesday announced US scientist David Baker for computational protein design and British scientists Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper as joint winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 'protein structure prediction'.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has been awarding this prize every year since 1901, 5 years after the death of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish scientist, and inventor of 'Dynamite'. The award is given in his name and legacy. The prize money is handed over to the winners every year on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. Prize winners in each case receive a gold medal, a diploma with a certificate, and currently 11 million Swedish krona.
A shortlist of 300 people is made every year for the Nobel Prize. After the screening, the award is given to one or more people in different categories. French poet and essayist Sully Prudhomme (1839–1907) won the first Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901.
Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo Awarded Nobel Peace Prize 2024
The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization representing survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, known as Hibakusha. The grassroots movement was honored for its tireless efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for its powerful witness testimony.
Nihon Hidankyo, established in 1956, is composed of survivors who have long campaigned for disarmament and the complete abolition of nuclear weapons. Through their first-hand accounts of the horrors experienced during and after the bombings in 1945, the group has sought to highlight the profound humanitarian impact of nuclear arms as morally unacceptable.
The Nobel Committee praised Nihon Hidankyo for their unwavering efforts to generate and sustain global opposition to nuclear weapons, noting that their testimony has provided a unique, first-hand understanding of the incomprehensible pain and suffering caused by such weapons.
"The Hibakusha help us to describe the indescribable, to think the unthinkable," the Committee said in its announcement.
Despite nearly 80 years passing since the bombings, nuclear weapons continue to pose a global threat. With countries modernizing arsenals and new threats emerging, the Committee warned that the nuclear taboo is under pressure.
“At this moment in human history, it is worth reminding ourselves what nuclear weapons are: the most destructive weapons the world has ever seen,” the statement added.
Next year will mark 80 years since the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed an estimated 120,000 people instantly, with thousands more succumbing to injuries and radiation exposure in the years that followed. The Hibakusha’s stories, delivered through witness accounts, public appeals, and annual delegations to the United Nations, have played a crucial role in advancing nuclear disarmament efforts.
