Dear Fellow Goans, Here is what I received,
Quote: The violence against women in Delhi, the national capital of India reported daily in national papers panics me. 2010 records of one rape case every 14 hours, molestation every 18 hours. The rape case increased 12 times more in 2011, which means one rape case every 15 hours. Among these crimes, the girls and women from North East India became easy target. Madhu Chandra www.nehelpline.net http://www.nehelpline.net/ Publication: The Times Of India Delhi; Date: Feb 11, 2012; Section: Front Page; Page: 1 CRIMINALS ON PROWL IN MOVING VEHICLES TIMES NEWS NETWORK *In two days, 2 minors forced into cars, raped TIMES NEWS NETWORK * New Delhi: The capital’s notorious mode of assault on women — rape or molestation in a moving vehicle — returned to shame the city, with two incidents reported in the past 48 hours. Both victims were minors. In the first incident, a 13-year-old girl was forced into a Santro car allegedly by three youths, including a minor, in Jyoti Nagar, northeast Delhi, on Thursday afternoon and raped by one of them after she snubbed their moves to strike a friendship with her. “The victim, a class VIII student who had stepped out to the market around 2.30pm when she was abducted, reported the crime to a policeman on the road. All three accused have since been nabbed,” said additional DCP (northeast) B K Singh. The second crime followed a similar pattern. A 16-yearold girl who had left home to buy milk around 7.30pm on Friday was allegedly abducted by two men and raped in a moving car in the Kanjhawala area of northwest Delhi. The accused pushed her into their Wagon R and drove around in the neighbourhood for three to four hours, taking turns to rape the victim, police said. Rape cases in the capital rose by 12% to 568 in 2011, as compared to 507 in 2010. *Four youths drive away with 18-yr-old Dwaipayan Ghosh TNN * New Delhi: An 18-year-old data operator in a Gurgaon firm, who was walking home with three other girls after getting off a bus at Qutab Vihar near Dwarka, was allegedly dragged into an Indica car and taken away by unidentified persons late Thursday evening. The accused stopped their car near the girls around 8.30pm and chased them into the fields, police said. All four girls as well as a passerby who tried to intervene were beaten up before the victim was put into the car. Eyewitness Yudhvir Singh Rawat claimed the accused, four in number, were in a red car that did not have a registration plate. “The girls were alarmed when the men began following them. They tried to run towards the fields but the men outran them and punched them on their faces. They then began dragging them towards the car. They finally managed to push the 18-year-old into the car and escape.” Rawat said it was strange that the police were trying to probe an elopement angle in the case when all girls had been beaten up. Hundreds of angry residents hit the roads protesting against police “inaction” in not registering a case. *Girl abducted, gangraped in moving car Captors Zipped Past Pickets * New Delhi: A 16-year-old girl was abducted by two men and raped in a moving car in Kanjhawala area of northwest Delhi on Friday. The accused pushed the girl into a Wagon R and drove around the neighbourhood even as they took turns to rape her, police said. The accused, Amit and Manoj, have been held. Shockingly, the car zoomed past scores of pickets and police barricades, but was not stopped even once. After four agonizing hours, the girl was finally dumped by the wayside. Battered and bruised, she got up and staggered home in the dead of night. That the car skirted detection at several barricades raises serious questions about the efficacy of the police force. The girl was abducted around 7.30pm after she left home to buy milk. She told police that when she headed towards a shop near Utsav Vihar, a car screeched to a halt in front of her. One of the occupants of the car pulled her inside and tried to gag her, police said. The girl told police that one of the accused was her brother-in-law’s friend who had earlier visited home. Surprisingly, the car circled around the Outer Delhi areas of Mangolpuri, Narela, Kanjhawala and Bawana areas without a single chase by a PCR van. Around 11.30pm, the accused dumped the girl near the forests of Kanjhawala and fled. The girl managed to reach home and told her parents about the incident. The shocked parents then approached the police for help. “We lodged a case and began investigations. The victim’s medical examination has confirmed rape. We were able to arrest the accused after raids on their hideout. One of the accused was known to the victim. They have been produced in court,” a senior police officer said. The girl, a school dropout, lives with her parents and three sisters in Kanjhawala area. One of the accused, Amit is a transporter while Manoj is a driver. Police are verifying their antecedents and sources said they have a criminal past. unquote: I live you to decide what will happen once we sell our lands, to Delhiwallas, to the Russians and to those who will come with come from Khandemal!
