How can a dad punish her daughter to this extent : Absolutely Terrible

A dad from haryana, strangled his son-in-law to death and lock his daughter in a room to be raped by her relatives and friends for five days. The reason behind such a inhuman incident was that the boy and girl were of same gotra. Such a shame.
I still cannot understand how can a dad let his own daughter to be raped by her cousins and friends, I still cannot digest this one.
Read On..

It would have been a familiar ending to a familiar story. Three years after a young couple fled their village in Haryana from families opposed to the 'same-gotra' union, the girl's family allegedly killed the 22-year-old man and locked up their daughter to be repeatedly raped by her relatives and their friends. She would have been killed too, say cops, but the gritty 21-year-old escaped from her captors and approached the police, turning in her father and other family members.

The gory turn of events began on Diwali day in Narela, outer Delhi, where the couple was tricked into joining a friend for celebrations. Police has arrested four people — the girl's father Daya Singh (50), her nephew Sandeep and his friends Pawan and Inderjeet — for the alleged 'honour killing' of her husband. They are also looking into claims by the girl that she was confined and raped by Sandeep and his acquaintances from October 17 to 22 when she managed to flee.

DCP (outer) Atul Katiyar said the victim shruti approached cops on October 26 with the help of a friend. Based on her account, police recovered the body of her husband, Virender Singh, from a canal in Sonepat district. A Maruti Van owned by Sandeep which was allegedly used to dump the body has also been seized.

Police said Shruti was 18 and a student of Class 10 when she fell in love with Singh, two years her senior at school. 'Their relationship was deeply resented by her family and the villagers of Mahara in Sonepat as both belonged to the same gotra. Unable to convince their families, they fled from the village in October 2006,' said Om Prakash, assistant commissioner of police for operations, Outer Delhi. Both were majors — Shruti was 18, while Virender was 19.

A case of kidnapping was lodged against Virender by the Sonepat police and he was arrested and sent to jail. In January 2007, even as Virender was in jail, Shruti was forcibly married to Jaipal, from Teli Khera village near Jind in Haryana. Jaipal began to abuse her when he came to know of her past and Shruti lodged a case with the Jind police. But no action was taken and a desperate Shruti contacted Virender who was out on bail.

The couple decided to reunite and Shruti left Jaipal to set up home with Virender in Samaipur Badli in outer Delhi. On August 8, 2008, they got married in a temple in Chandigarh.

'They shifted to Samalkha in Haryana after her father traced them in Samaipur Badli and threatened to kill Virender,' said an investigating officer. Meanwhile, angered by his 'wife's boldness', Jaipal lodged a kidnapping case against Virender with the Jind police. 'Fearing that they might be arrested again, the couple contacted the district collector's office in Jind and clarified that they had married of their own free will.'

That didn't help, though. The couple were arrested and Virender, who was working with a food company by then, was sent to jail again.

'The girl refused to go back to her father's place, fearing she would be killed, and stayed at the local Nari Niketan. All through Virender's trial, she maintained that she had gone with him of her own accord. The case was dismissed and Virender was freed,' said DCP Katiyar.

On October 17, Virender was invited by his friend Inderjeet to spend Diwali at Sandeep's house in Narela. The couple accepted, unaware that Sandeep would also be present.

Around 10.30pm on that day, Shruti's father, an ex-serviceman currently employed as a security officer, reached the house with his son and nephew and beat up Virender before allegedly strangling him to death.

'Shruti was allegedly raped by Sandeep and Inderjeet in another room. Sandeep carried the body in his van and dumped it in a canal after tying a stone around the neck. The girl was kept confined in a room in Narela and threatened to return to Jind or face death,' said Katiyar. Police are now investigating the role of other family members in the incident. 'Her first husband, Jaipal, is under the scanner too. The girl is still under severe trauma and we are providing counselling to her,' added the DCP.

Not knowing how to remove the money, Robbers stole the ATM machine itself :)


Gone are the days when robbers used to come to your home when you are away and take away the money and valuables. Gone are the days when robbers used to snatch chains of the passer by, or loot a bank. Robbers have found a easy and simple way of robbery - Steal the ATM machine itself.
Read On..

An ATM machine containing over Rs 10 lakh cash was stolen Tuesday from Kasarwadi area at Pimpri near here, police said.

The Union Bank machine, located at a cross section, had registered its last transaction in the afternoon with a cash withdrawal of Rs 500, after which customers were greeted by an empty cabinet which housed the ATM, they said.

The ATM was apparently transported in a stand-by vehicle after its removal from the booth, police said.

If every women would take such a daring step, there will be a better tomorrow

This particular incident happened few days ago during Navratri. Most of you guys might have missed this news. Worth a read. Even today India has few women like Onake Obavva(a woman who fought the forces of Hyder Ali single-handedly with a masse (Onake) in the small kingdom of Chitradurga).
Read On..

On a day that symbolised the victory of Durga, a brave Muslim woman in a remote Jammu village axed to death a dreaded Lashkar terrorist without any help.

Police believe that the slain terrorist was Osama, a Pakistan-based LeT commander, wanted in many cases of extortion and terror related activities.

The incident happened when two terrorists barged into her house in Thana Mandi village in Rajouri district Sunday night. Showing a great presence of mind, Rashida Begum, who is in her early 40s, grabbed an axe that was at her hand's reach and flung it at the terrorists, killing one of the armed terrorists and injuring the other. Seeing his partner dead, the other terrorist took to his heels.

According to the police, the two terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based group that carried out the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, had barged into Noor Ahmad's home around 9pm and wanted to seek revenge and hold the family hostage for refusing to give shelter to Pak based ultras.

Police said the two started beating the family members of Noor for not providing information on people who refused to harbour terrorists. Even as they were beating up the men, Noor's wife, Rashida rushed into the room and threw an axe at a terrorist from behind. The terrorist died on the spot.

She then charged at the second terrorist who was taken by surprise at the developments. Rashida and the rest of the family members managed to overpower him and snatch his weapon. However, the terrorist escaped under the cover of darkness, but not before receiving sharp cuts in the face-off with the furious housewife.

Security forces are combing the area for the escaped terrorist.

A Sincere Autowala in Delhi who returned the laptop of one of his passengers


We often tend to blame the autodrivers that they dont come wherever we want to go, they ask for extra money, they drive very rashly, etc etc., Here is one among such auto driver who sincerely went to the commuter's house and returned the laptop they forgot in his auto. Not all the autodrivers are bad.
Read On..

A Delhi businesswoman on Thursday gave a reward of Rs.20,000 to an honest auto rickshaw driver who returned her the laptop she had left behind in his vehicle.

"I returned the laptop to the passenger, and I am happy that I have done the duty of a good citizen," said Rakesh Kumar, the autorickshaw driver.

The passenger, Pooja Chandra, was overwhelmed by his honesty. She said: "I never expected to meet such an honest auto rickshaw driver. I was very worried as the laptop bag also contained a bank passbook, which apparently helped the driver to locate my house."

She added, "though people often malign autorickshaw drivers, all of them are not dishonest. This was proven after Rakesh Kumar returned my laptop."

The incident took place Wednesday night when Pooja Chandra was in search of an autorickshaw near Savitri cinema in south Delhi. She flagged Rakesh Kumar's vehicle and sat in it. When Chandra said she wanted to go to Khanpur, Kumar expressed his inability to take her as it was a distance away and it was time to return home to his family.

However, Kumar took care to put her in another autorickshaw. But in the process, Chandra forgot her laptop in Kumar's auto.

After reaching home, Chandra realised her laptop was in Kumar's vehicle and spent a sleepless night. In the morning, her husband Kishor Chandra contacted Rakesh Agarwal, secretary of NyayaBhoomi, an NGO that works with autorickshaw drivers. Agarwal discussed ways of locating the autorickshaw. He suggested posting a notice on the backs of autorickshaws.

However, before they could take any such step, to his surprise Kishor Chandra received a visitor at 1.30 p.m. Thursday.

It was Rakesh Kumar, the auto driver, along with the laptop. He explained that the bank passbook in the laptop bag had helped him reach their home.

Incidentally, Rakesh Kumar is also a member of NyayaBhoomi, an organization that works for the welfare of autorickshaw drivers and passengers.

"Rakesh Kumar's deed should be a source of inspiration for the citizens of Delhi in general, and for all auto drivers of Delhi in particular. Such acts fill our heart with warmth," said Rakesh Agarwal.

"The laptop contained invaluable data which was critical for running our business. Even the backup pen drive was in the same bag in which the laptop was kept. Thanks to Rakesh Kumar, auto drivers will always occupy a special place in our hearts now," said Chandra.

She gave an award of Rs.20,000 to Rakesh Kumar. Initially, Kumar politely declined to accept it but on her insistence he accepted the money.

Rakesh Agarwal said he would recommend the name of Rakesh Kumar for a suitable honour and prize to the Delhi administration.

Beware : No one is there to help you if u meet with an accident

Young man knocked down by bus remains unattended till cameras start rolling.
This particular incident happened in Howrah, West Bengal. By reading this news, i simply cant believe if humanity is still existing in our country.
From now on better take care of yourself and your family since there might be a situation where u meet with a accident and no one will even look at you.
Read On..

The busy Howrah is often referred as a `city with a heart'. But on Monday it proved itself heartless when busy commuters just walked past a howling and screaming 30-year-old Vishal Shukla who was knocked down and had his waist smashed by a private bus. He was on the road with serious injuries to his face, pelvis, arms and legs. Unable to move, he begged for help from passersby and shopkeepers but no one in the crowded area paused for a moment. Local reports said thousands of people, including policemen, passed by him.

He kept yelling and screaming for help for almost 20 hours in one of the busiest intersections in Howrah between Sunday night and Monday evening. A busy and mindless Howrah just walked past him.

Luckily for him, a bus conductor pulled him away from the road late in the night and put him on a pavement lest he be run over by another speeding vehicle.

This is not the first time that Howrah has had its heart missing. Last year, two persons bled to death while police squabbled over jurisdiction.

According to the local media, Shukla is an educated youth from Siwan in Bihar and had arrived at Howrah station on Sunday evening in search of work. He was knocked down as he was going in search of a hotel.

Amit Kumar, the bus conductor who pulled Shukla to the pavement was quoted in the local media as saying that he asked an on-duty constable to help him take the injured man to a hospital. "He wouldn't listen. We were scared of doing it ourselves because police would have been after us," Kumar said.

A frustrated Kumar and his friends then left some biscuits and water for Shukla and went away. The Bihar boy continued to bleed and suffer excruciating pain through the night, and all of next morning. On Monday too nobody came to his help even as he continued to beg that he be taken to a hospital.

A number of police patrols passed the area but they had no time for a man in agony.

Finally at around 4 pm, journalists were tipped off and when the incident got a coverage on local channels, locals and police had a sudden change in heart and rushed in wanting to be caught on cameras. Shukla had to undergo another bout of pain as no stretcher was brought. He was bodily lifted, his smashed legs dangling, He was later admitted to Howrah district hospital where doctors said his injuries are severe in nature.

Additional SP (town) Sukesh Jain defended his men, the local media said, claiming that the department was not aware of the accident till Monday evening though Howrah police station is hardly a kilometre from the spot.

We give so much love to the Terrorists who kill us


As We all know, Mohammed Amir Ajmal Kasab, the only surviving member of the terrorist squad that struck at multiple locations in Mumbai last November is under trail.

Indian government is trying its best to put the best foot forward in this trial. This is being viewed by some as an opportunity to prove to the world that India is for, by and of the people; that every person in India deserves a fair trial.

Let me put some facts in perspective. A thick security blanket has been thrown in and around a special court where the trial of Mohammed Ajmal Kasab is being held. As many as 500 police personnel were deployed on the road leading to the special court set up inside Arthur Road Jail in central Mumbai. One side of the road was closed to traffic. Security personnel in plainclothes were seen moving around the court. Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel, who are also guarding Kasab in the jail, patrolled around the area near the court premises. Media persons were checked multiple times prior to entering the court and were not allowed to carry anything on their person, including notepads and pens. A separate enclosure has been created for media vehicles some distance away from the court. No vehicle parking was allowed anywhere around the court. A special vehicle obtained by the Mumbai Police to scan for explosives has also been pressed into service around the court.

The question is not about how every effort is being held to conduct a fair trial but its around the fact that our hard earned tax money is being spent by our government on a person who waged a war against the innocent people of India. Even the United States does not conduct or reveal any information about spies held in their custody or rebels captured in Iraq for that matter.

It goes without saying that a 26/11 terrorist should not be equated to a captured soldier and the Kasab episode should soon end with him terminated as per the law.
This drama made sense if there was a ray of hope that Pakistan would agree for once that the terrorists were trained by their army. But given that its a remote possibility, lets bring the Kasab episode to its forgone conclusion.

Insaaf ki dagar pe, Bachchon dikhaao chal ke, Ye desh hai tumhaaraa, Netaa tumhi ho kal ke :)

By reading this news, i remembered a song from the movie 'Ganga Jamuna' where a teacher sings and explains his students that "Walk on the Path of justice, dear children...This is your nation and you're the leaders of tomorrow"
If this is what the teachers of modern india teaches their stundents, such shameful incidents would not occur.

In a swift action, two Class XI students of a Delhi government school were arrested Sunday for allegedly molesting a 21-year-old woman from Jamia Millia Islamia University inside their school in Bharat Nagar in New Friends Colony on October 22. According to the police, Sandeep Kumar and Sandeep Singh, both 20, are students of class XI in the school.

The two students were identified by the victim during a test identification parade (TIP) Sunday.

As reported in these columns on October 24, a 21-yearold woman from Arunachal Pradesh was allegedly molested inside the government school in Bharat Nagar.

The woman was surrounded by a pack of about 200 school boys who allegedly pulled her skirt, pounced on her and molested her for over 30 minutes. No teacher or guard came to her rescue, according to media reports.

After going through all the trauma, the woman mustered courage to lodge a complaint with the police. But the police had a strange way to investigate the crime. She was sent back to the school in the name of an undercover operation. She was accompanied by policemen in plain clothes and a large number of her own classmates of Jamia Millia college hoping that the same boys would target her again.

Seeing a large number of persons, the alleged molesters did not come anywhere near her. She was then sent from class to class to identify the boys who had misbehaved with her. Ultimately, she identified a few boys who were interrogated by the police and let off.

School principal Javed Qamar had a different version. He said he came to know about a woman being eve-teased outside the school. "I had even sent three teachers out to see what had happened but they could not find anyone. We will help the girl and the police to identify the offenders, and if found guilty, their names will be struck off from the rolls. But a lot of times, ex-students too come to the school in uniform. The school has a security guard but he had gone to switch off the water pump at the time of the incident", he was quoted in the media.

According to the victim, she was going to the university on a rickshaw at around 3.30 pm when some boys started passing lewd comments. One of them even touched her. She stopped the rickshaw and chased the boys who had entered the school premises. It was then that about 200 boys surrounded her and started pulling her skirt and pouncing on her.

A couple in UP forced to become siblings on having an affair

In which century we are living? Even in the 21st century such things happen in our India.
Read On ...

Repeatedly slapping a love-struck couple with shoes for their 'illegitimate' love affair, an Uttar Pradesh village council forced them to tie a rakhi and become siblings, police said.

The incident occurred late Wednesday in Kukra village in Bijnor district, about 350 km from here.

Pintoo Sharma, 30, and his 28-year-old lover were brought before a village panchayat when they were found sitting together in a garden on Wednesday evening, locals said.

"Initially, the duo were asked to slap each other; when they refused some members of the panchayat and villagers started beating them with shoes on their faces," Hardhar Kumar, a local, told reporters.

"Later, Sharma was forced to touch the woman's feet as a sign of acknowledging her as his elder sister, while the woman was made to tie a rakhi on his hand. As a part of their punishment, the panchayat also ordered them to move to different villages," he added.

I have no faith in Indian court: Kasab : Look Who is saying


Look who is saying what.
This guy Kasab should be hanged to death by wasting no more time.
He doesnt have faith in Indian court it seems. Bull Shit ! Who Cares.
Read On ..

After facing trial in the Mumbai attack case for nearly six months, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab today said he had "no faith" in Indian court and made a dramatic plea for transfer of the case to an international court.

But Judge M L Tahaliyani rejected 22-year-old Kasab's plea saying "it is misconceived".

"I have no faith in Indian court and this case may be transferred to an International court", Kasab said in an application to the court. He had moved the application written in his own hand in Urdu.

The application was filed through jail authorities who translated it into Marathi and produced before the court.

The judge asked Kasab whether he had written the application and he replied "ji huzoor" (Yes, Sir).

The trial of Kasab, whom police formally charged in February with several offences including "waging war" against India, began on March 23 via a video link with his Arthur Road prison in Mumbai. Kasab and other suspected Laskhar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives killed 166 people in a three-day rampage in the city on November 26 last.

In another development, the judge also rejected the plea of co-accused Fahim Ansari to stay the proceedings on the ground that he had filed a petition in the Bombay High Court seeking transfer of the 26/11 case to some other court alleging that the recording of evidence was incorrect.

"This is yet another attempt by the accused to delay the trial", noted judge Tahaliyani while rejecting Fahim's plea to stay the proceedings.

Unable to attract even a single girl, frustrated man sues Axe


We all see the various ads of AXE deo's in which guys try to attract girls by putting various flavors of AXE deodorants, perfumes, etc. A guy in India tried various products of AXE, but still was unable to impress not even a single girl. Frustrated by this, he has files a case against the company.
Read On..

In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal embarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26-year-old man has filed a case against the FMCG company, which owns the Axe brand of men grooming products, for ‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’. The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he’s been using Axe products for over seven years now. Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantly attracting women.

Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons, anti-perspirants, aftershaves, body washes, shampoos, and hair gels to the court, and demanded a laboratory test of the products and narcotics test of the brand managers of Axe. Vaibhav was pushed to take this step when his bai (maid) beat him with a broom when he tried to impress her by appearing naked in front of her after applying all the Axe products.

“Where the fuck is the Axe effect? I’ve been waiting for it for over seven years. Right from my college to now in my office, no girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I’m sure they could smell my perfumes, deodorants and aftershaves. I always applied them in abundance to make sure the girls get turned on as they show in the television. Finally I thought I’d try to impress my lonely bai who had an ugly fight with her husband and was living alone for over a year. Axe effect my foot!” Vaibhav expressed his unhappiness.

Vaibhav claims that he had been using all the Axe products as per the company’s instructions even since he first bought them. He argued that if he couldn’t experience the Axe effect despite using the products as directed, either the company was making false claims or selling fake products.

“I had always stored them in cool and dry place, and kept them away from direct light or heat. I’d always use a ruler before applying the spray and make sure that the distance between the nozzle and my armpit was at least 15 centimeters. I’d do everything they told. I even beat up my 5-year-old nephew for coming near my closet, as they had instructed it to keep away from children’s reach. And yet, all I get is a broom beating from my ugly bai.” Vaibhav expressed his frustration.

Vaibhav claims that he had to do go a lot of mental suffering and public humiliation due to the lack of Axe effect and wants HUL to compensate him for this agony. An advocate in Karkardooma court, who happened to mistake Vaibhav for some deodorant vendor when he entered the court premises with all the bottles, has now offered to take up his case in the court. HUL has been served a legal notice in this regard.

Minister Ho To Aisa

We elect ministers hoping for a better governance, hoping for a better tomorrow. When we have such ministers existing, what else we can expect from our government.
Read On..

The official car of minister of state in the Uttar Pradesh government, Nand Gopal Nandi, knocked down a school boy and left two others injured before it rammed into a shop on the roadside in Rae Bareli district on Wednesday morning. Surprisingly, instead of arranging for immediate medical attention for the injured, the minister who was in the car when the accident took place, preferred to flee from the site in the police escort vehicle accompanying him. The erring driver of the minister’s car too fled the scene.

Infuriated with the insensitive behaviour exhibited by the minister and his entourage, locals staged a massive protest and blocked the Allahabad highway for a couple of hours demanding immediate arrest of the erring driver and apology from the minister for his inhuman response. It was only after senior police officials reached there and informed the crowd that the erring driver has been arrested that the blockade was lifted.

Reports reaching the director general of police (DGP) headquarters here on Wednesday evening said that the incident took place about 9.30am when the minister of state Gopal Nandi was passing through the Allahabad highway in his motorcade comprising his official red beacon fitted Ambassador car (UP 32 BG 3446), a police escort jeep and a couple of other private vehicles occupied by the supporters of the minister.

The motorcade had barely reached Jigna village under Jagatapur police station on Allahabad highway when the driver of the minister’s car apparently lost control over the wheels and knocked off Saurabh, 15, a local who was cycling his way to school. The car reportedly came to a stop after it rammed into a shop on the roadside but not before hitting two others identified as Anuj and Prem Shanker — both local residents.

Son Plants Bomb in Goa and Dad sends legal notice to Police


I remembered the song "IT Happens Only In India", by reading about this particular incident. The Great Indian Son plants bomb killing and injuring several people in Goa, and his much Greater Indian Father sends legal notice to Police about his sons dead body.

Siddhagonda Patil, father of the deceased Malgonda Patil, who was killed in the Margao bomb explosion, has served a legal notice on Margao police for their failure to hand over him his son's body.

The notice, which is served through his lawyer V M Deshpande, demands that the State should pay Rs 20,000 for the family of Malgonda as they incurred in these expenses in coming to Goa to take over the body.

Police called Malgonda Patil's family members to take the possession of the body to perform final rites but at the last minute told that the postmortem is yet to be conducted, the lawyer Deshpande said this evening.

Malgonda Patil is named as a prime accused in the 16/10 Margao blast case. Patil was killed few hours after one amongst the three explosives exploded and his accomplice Yogesh Naik, died on Tuesday after being critically injured.

Siddhagonda wanted that after receipt of the notice, police, with due respect, should bring the body to Karjanagi, Post Nigadi, Taluk Jat, District Sangli.

Goa Express-Mathura Mishap:Blame it on negligence of cops. 3 constables cant behold one bloody petty thief??


We all read in the news about the Goa Express train mishap near Mathura. Everyone is blaming on the drivers of the Goa Express train and his negligent driving. But the true story is that the Mewar Express(to which the Goa Express was rammed) was stopped in between two stations because of the chain pulled by someone.

The news says "The Uttar Pradesh police has registered a case against 'unknown persons' after it emerged that the Mewar Express had come to a sudden halt because the emergency chain was pulled, following which the Goa Express rammed into it, killing 22 people."

In Kota (Rajasthan), Additional Superintendent of Police, Bhupendra Sahu, refused to comment on whether an escape attempt by a criminal on the train led to the accident but added, "All the three officials involved in the incident have been suspended and an inquiry has been ordered."

The office of Senior Superintendent of Police, Mathura City, had earlier said it has received two separate complaints -- one relating to the train accident and the other being that of an accused escaping from custody of Rajasthan policemen.

It is alleged that Munna Sazid, an accused in a robbery case, was being taken from Kota to the national capital by the Delhi-bound Mewar Express for a hearing in a Tees Hazari court. He was being accompanied by three police constables of Rajasthan Police -- Ashok Kumar, Veerendra and Bahadur. At the Mathura station, Sazid asked for permission to go to toilet.

As soon as the train started gaining speed, he pushed one of the constables and jumped from the train prompting the police officials to pull the chain to bring it to halt, according to the complaint.
