Faridabad:

A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three people and forced to undergo an abortion, police here said on Friday.

Three people have been arrested in the case, they said.

According to police, they received a complaint from Pradeep Kumar from the child helpline of the District Child Protection Unit in Faridabad reporting that a teenage girl had undergone an abortion after she was raped.

Kumar, in his complaint, said that he had received a call from two NGOs — Shakti Vahini and Nosrishti Sanstha — on Tuesday regarding the incident.

Upon receiving information, Kumar met the victim who told him that she begged on the roadside to feed her alcoholic father and her younger brother. Around three months ago, she was looking for her younger brother, when one of the accused, an auto-rickshaw driver who often gave her food, asked her to sit in his vehicle and promised to help her find her brother, police said.

“The victim revealed that he took her to his room where he and his aide raped her multiple times. They threatened to kill her if she anyone about it,” Kumar told the police.

The rape survivor’s neighbour had also raped her multiple times after offering her food and tea. On January 6, a woman came to the girl’s house and told her that one of the accused had called her, Kumar said.

The woman offered the survivor some food after which she fell unconscious. When she woke up after a few hours, the accused gave her a papaya, a shawl and a jacket, Kumar said in his complaint.

Kumar told the police that the woman and the auto-driver called the survivor home and forced her to undergo an abortion. Following this, her condition deteriorated and the matter reached the Child Helpline through an NGO.

Based on his complaint, an FIR was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The three accused were arrested and further investigation is underway, police added.

An event manager was allegedly shot near the house of Union Minister Krishan Pal Gurjar in Sector 28 here in a road rage incident, police on Tuesday said.

The injured man, Rinku, was rushed to a hospital where he was stated to be in a critical condition.

Rinku, a native of Saunda village near Khurja in Uttar Pradesh, was standing on a roadside at an event venue in Sector 28 talking to a man named Manoj, when around 1 am a speeding car hit a bike in the front.

“The bike rider got seriously injured after falling down. I and Manoj ran to help the rider when two youths got down from the car and started abusing us. When I confronted them, they attacked me with bricks.

“They kept beating me for about three-four minutes and then one of them took out a pistol from a bag tied to his waist and first fired in the air and then at me,” Rinku said in his complaint, according to police.

The bullet went through Rinku’s finger and scraped his ear, police said.

The entire act was captured on CCTV camera.

Rinku currently lives with his family in Tirkha Colony, Ballabgarh.

An FIR was registered at Sector 31 Police Station and a probe has begun, a senior officer said.

New Delhi:

A new video has surfaced showing how the rescuers pulled out the car that got stuck in the flooded underpass in Faridabad, leading to the death of its two occupants on Friday night. The victims — Viraj (26), a cashier at a private bank branch in Faridabad, and 48-year-old manager Punyashray Sharma were returning home in Greater Faridabad from Gurugram when their car got stuck in the flooded Old Faridabad Railway underpass around 11:50 pm.

The 3-minute video shows police and rescue teams trying to pull out the submerged car, a Mahindra XUV 700, using life jackets and water tubes. 

They also tied a rope to the car to take it out of the inundated area.

A police official said a passersby had attempted to help the duo stuck in the car and after a lot of efforts, managed to get them out but Viraj died on the spot. Punyashray was taken to the Badshah Khan Civil Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to police, rains throughout Friday inundated the underpass and cars were warned against entering it. They said the XUV 700 entered the underpass ignoring all warnings and water gushed into the vehicle.

“A barricade was put up at the entrance of the underpass since it was waterlogged. The occupants of the SUV were told by police officers to take a different route,” police sub-inspector Rajesh Kumar told the news agency PTI.

“But they removed the barricade and attempted to go through the underpass. The car’s doors got locked as it got stuck in the water and the duo died by drowning,” he said.

A video of a man driving recklessly on a busy Haryana road, allegedly hitting a motorcycle, and showing no remorse over the incident has gone viral. Shared by activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj on X, the video shows a person driving at around 140 km/h, while his co-passengers can be heard asking him to slow down. However, the man, which Ms Bhardwaj said was influencer Rajat Dalal, kept driving recklessly on the busy road before allegedly ramming a motorcycle. 

“Wo gir gaya, koi baat nahi. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma’am (There’s no big deal if he fell down. This is a daily thing, ma’am),” he is heard saying in the video after allegedly hitting the biker. 

“Habitual Offender #RajatDalalPsycho hits a biker while driving at a speed of 143Kmph on a busy inner city highway,” she wrote on X.

“GIR GAYA KOI BAAT NAHI. YE TO HAMARA ROZ KA KAAM HAI “

According to a report, the Faridabad Police is issuing a challan to Rajat Dalal for rash and negligent driving. It added that the video was shot near the NHPC Metro Station.

New Delhi:

A woman had buried her daughter 10 months ago in the Faridabad house they were living in. A complaint from the father, living in Saudi Arabia, led the cops to their home and a search followed, leading to an exhumation. The recovered body has been sent for postmortem.

Parveena was 17 years old. Her mother, Anitha Begum, has been taken into police custody.

The cops say that the father, Tahir, emailed them about her missing daughter. Asked how it took him that many months to complain, the cops said the man was not on good terms with his wife.

Anitha begum denies that she killed her daughter, telling cops that the girl died by suicide. She, however, admitted to the cops that she buried her in the house. The woman said she feared that the news of her suicide will bring a bad name to the family and buried her with help from two people.

“I did not kill her. She had affairs and used to run away. We had locked her up. And we slept. She died by suicide. Fearing a bad name, we buried her in the house. It was a big mistake, I admit it,” said Anita Begum.

The cops say further investigation will begin once the postmortem results are in.

A traffic policeman was dragged by a speeding vehicle after requesting the driver’s documents in Haryana’s Faridabad. The incident took place at the Ballabhgarh bus stop area and was captured on video, which has since gone viral on social media.

According to the police, the episode unfolded last evening when a driver, allegedly drunk, obstructed traffic by parking his car in the middle of the road to pick up passengers. A traffic sub-inspector approached the driver, asking for his vehicle documents and preparing to issue a challan. This routine check quickly escalated into a heated dispute.

Eyewitnesses recounted that as the sub-inspector leaned in through the driver’s door to examine the papers, the driver suddenly hit the accelerator. The officer was dragged a few metres, clinging to the speeding vehicle before the car came to a halt. Onlookers and other traffic personnel quickly surrounded the vehicle and rescued the officer.

The police have identified the driver and have vowed to take strict action against him.

Faridabad:

The police have arrested a man for allegedly kidnapping and killing a 13-year-old boy here in a bid to demand ransom from the parents and repay his debt, officials said on Saturday. The police identified the accused as Vishal, a medical store operator and a resident of the housing board colony, sector 62 Ballabgarh, they said.

During the investigation, the police found that Vishal killed Kush, a student of class eight, by overdosing him with an intoxicant which he gave to render him unconscious, officials said.

He then dumped Kush’s body near the Agra canal, which the police recovered on Friday, they said. According to police, Umesh Chand, Kush’s father, filed a complaint reporting that his son had been missing since Thursday evening. He told the police that Kush had gone on his bicycle around 6.30 pm to bring some ice from a neighbouring shop.

However, when Kush did not return, Chand, with some locals, began searching for him but could not trace him. They then examined the CCTV footage and found that Kush had passed Vishal’s home some time ago, Chand said.

They searched Vishal’s residence and found Kush’s bicycle on his terrace. Following this, they handed over Vishal to the police, Chand added. During interrogation, Vishal confessed that he had kidnapped Kush to demand ransom from his parents and repay his debt. He injected Kush with an intoxicant but he died due to overdose, a senior police officer said.

Vishal told the police that he could not ask for ransom as Kush had died. So he dumped his body near the canal, the officer said.

The body was handed over to the family after post-mortem. Further investigation is underway, he added.

Faridabad:

The dead body of a newborn boy was found impaled and stuck on a grill in the quiet Haryana village of Ajronda late Friday night. According to the police, a person threw the newborn over a wall before it got skewered on the spiked fence. 

The body was discovered by local residents this morning, much to their shock and disbelief. The body of the newborn was carefully removed from the grille and subsequently transported to the Badshah Khan Civil Hospital in Faridabad for a post-mortem examination.

According to the police, the autopsy will determine whether the child was intentionally killed before being discarded or if the death occurred as a result of being pierced by the grill.

The police are examining surrounding CCTV footage in the hopes of identifying and locating the individuals responsible for the crime. 

“Parents are guilty,” alleged the shocked residents of Ajronda, with some even suggesting the death penalty for those responsible for the baby’s gruesome death. 

Further investigation in the matter is underway, police said.
