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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
