ROHTAK ACID ATTACK CASE Bijendra Ahlawat/TNS

Rohtak, May 28
The police today arrested two youths for the acid attack on Saturday on an 18-year-old girl, who is also a volleyball player, here. A cousin of the victim, who is yet to be arrested, is reported to be the main accused. An affair is stated to be the main cause behind the incident. The two accused have been remanded in police custody till June 3 by the local court today.

The police, who was under political pressure to crack the case announced the breakthrough this morning. DSP Sumit Kumar said the arrests followed the rounding up of two suspects on Sunday. The suspects revealed that they had been hired by Ram Niwas (28), a resident of Jamni village of Jind district, to throw acid on the victim.

The interrogation of the arrested youths, identified as Neeraj and Pradeep, has revealed that Ram Niwas, son of an aunt of the victim, had an “affair” with the victim but when the latter did not respond to his overtures, he decided to teach her a lesson. Ram Niwas had reportedly tried to throw acid on the girl himself, but he could not succeed and sought the help of two youths known to him. He promised to pay them Rs 1.25 lakh to win them over.

“While an advance of Rs 25,000 was paid a day before the attack, Ram Niwas had promised to pay the rest of the money after throwing the acid, said police officials. Admitting that both the victim and her family members did not provide any clue, the DSP said the policemen who had been working in three different teams got a breakthrough with the help of the call details of the mobile phone of the victim and raided several places before arresting the youths from their village last evening.

One of the accused had also received burn injuries while throwing the chemical, added the police. The motorcycle used in the incident has also been recovered. The victim, Ritu Saini, has been admitted to the PGIMS here at present and is out of danger.

Honour killing: 19-year-old boy arrested for killing teen sister TNN | May 29, 2012, 05.22AM IST

KARNAL: A 19-year-old youth was arrested on Monday for murdering his teenaged sister, whom he suspected of having an affair. The weapon used by him in the crime, a knife, has also been recovered.

Paras confessed to killing his sister Payal, a class 12 student, after she refused to stop meeting the man with whom she had an affair. She was found in a pool of blood, with stab wounds at her home in Ashok Nagar area on May 20.

A case under Section 302 (murder) of IPC has been registered against Paras even as police are probing the role of other family members in the crime. Superintendent of police Shashank Anand said they were informed about the murder by Payal's father Naresh, who claimed he was in Ambala when she was killed.

Police though said Naresh tried to mislead investigators by claiming Payal committed suicide as she was under the influence of "evil powers" and was suffering from depression.

"Circumstantial evidence and nature of injuries, especially five stab wounds and injury on her head and skull, present a clear picture of murder," said Anand.

Paras told police that he had caught Payal speaking to her boyfriend over the phone. "In a fit of rage he banged his sister's head against the wall and stabbed her repeatedly," said Anand.

The police nabbed Paras after probing Payal's call records to trace her boyfriend, who told the police that her family members, especially her brother, were staunchly opposed to their relationship.

Minor rape victim breaks silence after a month TNN | May 29, 2012, 06.41AM IST

JAIPUR: She kept silent for a month even after being allegedly gangraped by a vidhyarthi mitra, a teacher employed by the government to assist school dropouts, and four others at Vadiya village in Pali district. 

Thanks to her parents and neighbours, who instilled courage in her to speak out against the heinous crime, she finally came out in the open.

The alleged rapists had reportedly told her to keep quiet or face dire consequences if she narrated her plight to the police. 

However, late on Sunday evening, the girl lodged a case of abduction and rape against the teacher and his accomplices. 

The teacher, Narendra Singh, knew the victim for several years and she had reportedly developed a liking for him. According to the police, the accused on April 26 took her to an isolated place where he and four others allegedly gangraped her. 

After the incident, the girl's family was living in fear as the accused had threatened to kill them if they leaked out the incident. 

Asked why the girl kept silent for more than a month, Sawai Singh, station house officer, Siviari police station, told TOI on Monday: "The alleged rapists had threatened to kill her along with family members and were also reportedly keeping a vigil on them. The family received threat calls four times a month. However, they mustered some courage after thorough discussions and on Sunday evening approached us."

Another baby girl abandoned in Cuttack TNN | May 28, 2012, 11.30PM IST

CUTTACK: The Millennium City is grappling with a peculiar problem of deserted baby girls. In the last six months, six such incidents have taken place in the city, the latest occurring on Sunday night at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Post Graduate Institute of Pediatrics, popularly known as Sishu Bhawan. An ailing premature baby girl was abandoned by a couple at the hospital. The baby was admitted in the old ward of the hospital on Sunday morning but in the evening hours when the infant was sleeping, her parents fled from the hospital.

The hospital authorities came to know about the incident in the night when the nurses sought the baby's mother to feed her. According to hospital authorities, a woman, who gave her name as Mamata Pradhan, along with her husband Bhakti Ranjan Pradhan had admitted the newborn baby to the hospital on Sunday morning.

"The couple had pre-planned to abandon the baby at the hospital. They admitted the baby in the hospital in the morning and after a few hours they fled with all their belongings, leaving the little baby on the bed," said a nurse at the hospital. Due to premature delivery, the baby is underweight and has been kept in the incubator. "The baby is very weak and weighs only 1.5 kg. She has been kept in the incubator and nurses are taking proper care of her," said a doctor treating the infant.

Meanwhile, hospital authorities have informed the police about the incident. "The admission ticket of the baby reveals that her parents are from Baritola village in Jagatsinghpur district. We have given the address to police to look for her parents. Till then the baby will be kept in the hospital," said Hiranya Mohanty, superintendent of the hospital.

The district Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has also launched a search operation for the abandoned baby's parents. "Our team has already gone to Jagatsinghpur district in search of the baby's parents. But it's a matter of concern as the incidences of deserting baby girls is rising in the city," said Rini Mohanty, member of CWC.

Exposing a heartless side of the city, twin baby girls were abandoned at the railway platform in November last year. A few days later, a baby girl was rescued from the roadside in Manglabagh area. In a much publicized incident recently, another baby girl has been lying abandoned in the neo-natal unit of SCB hospital as her parents have refused to accept her. They have alleged that their baby boy was swapped with the girl child.

At the police outpost, the cops first allegedly demanded Rs 20,000 from the duo to let them free. When the two expressed their inability to meet their demands, the cops allegedly assaulted the old man while their civilian friend raped her at the police outpost itself. 

The accused were however arrested when the same locals who had handed her over to the police, overheard her cries from inside the police outpost and informed the senior officials who reached the site and caught the accused red handed.

25-yr-old raped by aunt's boyfriend Vijay Singh, TNN | May 27, 2012, 02.32AM IST

NAVI MUMBAI: A 25-year-old nursing student was raped by her aunt's African 31-year-old boyfriend. The victim, who hails from Manipur, is currently admitted to Dr D Y Patil Hospital in Nerul where she will undergo reconstructive surgery on her private parts owing to the severe injuries she sustained during the rape. She has already undergone colostomy, a surgical procedure in which a pipe is inserted into the abdomen to remove stools and urine separately. 

The incident took place on May 13 in Bangalore when the victim went there with her aunt to meet the latter's boyfriend identified as Prince John alias Johnson. The victim's aunt works in a spa in Mumbai. In the morning hours of May 13 when the aunt was still asleep in Johnson's house, he asked the victim to accompany him to his friend's house to fetch water. The unsuspecting victim agreed as there was a water shortage at that time. 

On reaching his friend's flat in the same complex, Johnson allegedly raped her. Johnson then threatened the victim, who was bleeding profusely, against telling anyone, especially her aunt, about the incident. He told the victim to tell her aunt that she had started her menstrual period. Johnson also bought two air tickets for the victim and her aunt to return to Mumbai. 

When the victim's bleeding did not stop for the next four days, her aunt took her to a nursing home in south Mumbai on May 17. 

A doctor who examined the victim then told her aunt that she had sustained serious injuries on her private parts and will need surgery. That's when the victim broke down and confided in her aunt. The women then contacted another Manipuri doctor, who managed to get the victim admitted to Dr D Y Patil Hospital for the reconstructive surgery. 

Former vice chairman of Maharashtra Minorities Commission Abraham Mathai, who recently came to know about this case, informed the Navi Mumbai police. Late on Saturday, the Nerul police registered an FIR. Navi Mumbai additional commissioner of police Ashok Dongre said, "After I was informed by Mathai, I asked DCP (zone 1) Purushottam Karad to investigate the matter." 

Police officials went to the hospital and recorded the victim's statement. 

Mathai, who has been helping the victim and her family, told TOI, "I have also contacted Karnataka's additional police commissioner T Sunil Kumar and he has promised to take action against the accused. The accused had earlier claimed that he was from Jamaica and worked in the courier service business, we suspect he is hiding his real motives.'' Mathai also questioned why the doctor at the south Mumbai nursing home did not inform the police about this aggravated sexual assault.

From womb to bin Vinay Sarawagi | May 5, 2012

On Thursday, a newborn girl dumped in a garbage bin in Gurgaon two weeks ago died at a government hospital in Rohtak. The girl had been bitten by mosquitoes and dogs. This isn't a stray case. In the last one month, more than 15 instances of newborn girls being dumped have been reported in Haryana. 

"No one wants a girl in Haryana, "says the manager of a government-run childcare centre. "Even those who come to adopt babies seek boys. "The observation is backed by data: the state's child sex ratio is the lowest in the country. For every 1, 000 boys registered at birth, there are just 830 girls, according to Census 2011. 

While female foeticide is an old evil in Haryana's patriarchal society, abandonment of newborn girls is a recent trend. "We are getting such cases almost daily, "says Dr Narvir Singh, director general of health services, Haryana. 

However, Sabu George, who has been actively campaigning against the practice of sex selection for more than two decades, says the media has turned undue spotlight on abandonment. 

"Abandonment is a small problem compared to sex selection, which was responsible for seven million female foeticides in the last decade alone, "George says. "Abandonment cases are isolated. It's convenient for everybody to highlight them because then questions on prevalence of sex selection don't get asked. An abandoned baby has some chances of survival, but sex selection is murder. " 

He says the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act, 1994 is not being strictly implemented in Haryana. "It's very easy to find out the sex of a foetus and the doctors get away with almost anything, "George says. 

After Census 2011 placed Haryana at the bottom of the sex-ratio list, the state government launched an ambitious plan to map all ultrasound machines, especially in villages that fared the worst. Since the drive started, the authorities say 70 cases have been filed under the PNDT Act, 1994, leading to legal action against 30 people, including 25 doctors. Under the districtlevel Sex Ratio Improvement Programme, 177 illegal ultrasound machines have been seized and the licences of 327 ultrasound centres have been cancelled. Tightening the noose around the sex selection trade, unfortunately, may lead to a rise in the cases of abandonment, fears Singh. 

The way out, say experts, is through education. "To provide dignity to the girl child, law and society need to work in tandem. The law needs to be supplemented with advocacy for social change, "says Jitendra Nagpal, psychiatrist, Moolchand Medcity Hospital, Delhi. "Gender stabilization should become the hallmark of progress. We need to address it with more urgency than economic growth. "

HALL OF SHAME 

Three abandoned baby girls are undergoing treatment at PGIMS in Rohtak. In the last two weeks, four such babies have been admitted to the hospital On April 18, an infant with multiple infections was rushed here after she was found abandoned in a park in Bhiwani. She is recuperating On April 23, a three-day-old girl with acute liver infection was admitted to PGIMS. Her condition remains critical On April 27, a baby girl, who was found near a bus stand of Dharuhera town was taken to hospital. Her condition is stable A baby girl was delivered in the toilet of the PGIMS and then left there Last month, an abandoned baby girl was found in Sonipat and bodies of two newborn girls were recovered from a garbage dump in Ambala.

Burnt & hacked, body of woman found in Ghaziabad TNN | May 9, 2012, 12.55AM IST

GHAZIABAD: The burnt body of a woman was found hacked inside an abandoned suitcase in the Muradnagar area on Tuesday morning. Police suspect the woman, who seems to be in her late 20s, may have been murdered in Delhi or Ghaziabad and later dumped on NH-24.

Sources said a suitcase emitting foul smell was noticed by passersby on the highway, who then informed police. "The body had been hacked to fit it into the suitcase. It had been partly burnt with the intention of hiding the identity of the deceased,'' said an officer. He said no missingreport for a woman had been filed in local police stations, which is why cops are thinking that the woman may be from outside Ghaziabad. Sources said the body pieces had been wrapped in a saree.

Recently, two bodies were found in the capital, one from inside the LNJP Hospital and the other from near a Metro Pillar in Nehru Place. Officials claimed that the deceased seemed to belong to either the homeless or the migrant class who barely stay in one address for more than a few days. Bodies of several persons who have been killed are thrown on roads, drains, railway tracks and secluded areas. Curiously, railway tracks have seen a good 40 percent of such bodies. Most of them, recovered late, are in such condition that it becomes impossible to ascertain whether he or she was a victim of accident or foul play. According to police officers, a large number of bodies are found in drains flowing into Delhi from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

Recently, there has been a spate of unidentified bodies which have been recovered in the capital triggering chief minister Sheila Dikshit to meet Home Minister P Chidambaram.
