Ghaziabad:

A case of double murder was reported in Ghaziabad when a 23-year-old man strangled his sister-in-law and her three-month-old daughter at their residence to settle old scores with the woman, police said on Tuesday. The accused has been arrested.

A detailed probe is underway but initial investigations revealed that the accused, Zeeshan, wanted to exact revenge on the woman for the assault and humiliation he suffered from her cousin brother two months ago. Besides, he suspected that the woman had convinced his brother not to give him Rs 30,000 to go to Dubai for work.

Police said another daughter of the woman, who witnessed the murders, however, survived a similar attack as she ran away from the spot.

Those murdered were identified as Shaheen Parveen (34) and her daughter Aafiya.

According to Ghaziabad Rural Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Surendranath Tripathi, the murders took place in Bamheta village under Wave City police station on Monday.

Police said Zeeshan first used a dupatta to strangle Shaheen in front of her two children. He then strangled Aafiya with his hands.

“Three-and-a-half-year-old Anbiya ran away, crying. Zeeshan would have killed her too had she stayed in the room,” the DCP said.

Explaining the possible reasons behind the murders, Tripathi said: “Two months ago, Shaheen’s cousin brother Afroz had humiliated Zeeshan during a dispute over the construction of a house by Zeeshan’s family in Bihar, and even pulled him by his collar. The accused wanted to seek revenge over this. Besides, he wanted to go to Dubai and needed Rs 30,000 for the visa. He suspected that Shaheen had convinced his brother Burhan to not give him the money.”

After committing the crime, Zeeshan fled to Noida, where he snatched a woman’s mobile phone and made a call to Burhan, threatening to kill.

The accused was arrested while he was returning to Ghaziabad on Tuesday, police said.

“Big shop, tasteless food. Such a big brand and such cheap behaviour,” wrote another. 

“Nowadays, avoid eating outside food as far as possible,” commented one person.

A 32-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide on Friday morning by jumping from the 11th floor amid allegations of dowry harassment against her husband, who has been arrested, police said.

The woman has been identified as Aarti, police added.

According to the Nand Gram police, the woman’s body was sent for postmortem. Police have arrested her accused husband Mayank Tyagi. Aarti’s father Rajeev Tyagi has lodged a complaint accusing Mayank, his father Vinod, and mother Sadhna of subjecting the woman to severe dowry-related torture.

“The number may change once other processes, including age verification of the children, are completed. Action has been taken on the complaint of Mission Mukti,” he added.

A senior police officer said that due to the poor economic condition of their families, these children were brought from their respective states to Ghaziabad on the pretext of providing jobs.

“They (the minors) were then put to work at International Agro Foods without their prior knowledge of the nature of the work. The police are searching for the persons who brought these children from their states to initiate action against them,” the officer said.

According to the police, the NCPCR had received a complaint that approximately 40 children from Bihar and West Bengal were being forced to work in inhumane conditions at a slaughterhouse in Ghaziabad.

This complaint was lodged with the Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate.

“Based on the information provided by the officials of the NCPCR, the police assembled a team. On Wednesday, a joint operation was conducted at International Agro Foods in Dasna. During the operation, 57 minors were safely rescued from the slaughterhouse,” the officer said.

International Agro Foods is involved in meat processing, freezing, and exports. The company supplies a significant amount of its products overseas.

Ghaziabad:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held his first Lok Sabha election roadshow in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, canvassing support for the BJP’s Ghaziabad candidate Atul Garg, who has been fielded in place of two-time MP and Union minister V K Singh.

The prime minister was joined by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Mr Singh and Mr Garg in an open flower-bedecked vehicle as they acknowledged the enthusiastic supporters.

Holding the party symbol ‘lotus’, PM Modi waved at the cheering crowd who greeted the four leaders with the slogans of “Abki baar 400 paar’ (400-plus seats for NDA this time), ‘Har Har Modi’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram’.

Thank you Ghaziabad! Overwhelmed by the affection I have received here during the roadshow. It was particularly gladdening to see Yuva Shakti and Nari Shakti take part in the roadshow in large numbers. This shows the unwavering faith people have in our governance track record. pic.twitter.com/VQXCi7rv0X

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) April 6, 2024

The roadshow started from the Maliwad Chowk and culminated at the Chaudhary Mod, covering a distance of about one-and-a-half km.

The prime minister said he was overwhelmed by the affection he received during the roadshow.

The district administration made elaborate arrangements for the event including the deployment of around 5,000 police personnel and enforcing traffic diversions. The local markets were closed during the roadshow.

The BJP supporters had been waiting on the road since the afternoon, braving the harsh sun as drums and bands tried to keep them engaged. Women dressed in colourful attire, some of them wearing yellow saris and saffron pagdis, were seen dancing vigorously as the roadshow moved forward.

“It was particularly gladdening to see Yuva Shakti and Nari Shakti take part in the roadshow in large numbers. This shows the unwavering faith people have in our governance track record,” PM Modi said in a post on X.

“In the coming years, we want to do even more for Ghaziabad. Our focus will be on how to further improve quality of life, enhance facilities for healthcare, education, transportation and more. We want youngsters from Ghaziabad to shine in diverse areas and enrich India’s growth trajectory,” he said.

Excited onlookers also watched from their rooftops and showered flowers on the leaders. Those who had lined up on both sides of the road along the route jostled with each other to get a better glimpse of the leaders, throwing flowers and raising slogans.

“Ghaziabad has always supported @BJP4India. Our Party has also always returned the affection with record development. Over the last ten years, development works, especially those relating to urban infrastructure, connectivity and housing have enhanced ‘Ease of Living’ here,” PM Modi said on X.

Voting will be held in the second phase in Ghaziabad on April 26.

The BJP has fielded former Uttar Pradesh minister Atul Garg as its candidate this time replacing Union minister General (retired) V K Singh, who won the elections in 2014 and 2019.

Among other programmes in the state, the PM addressed a rally in Saharanpur earlier in the day in support of BJP candidates.

Before the start of the roadshow in Ghaziabad, BJP workers were seen distributing sweets among people.

Police commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra had issued an advisory urging the masses not to bring certain things.

A shocking video has emerged from Ghaziabad that shows a young man collapsing in a gym while running on a treadmill. The incident took place on Saturday in Saraswati Vihar. The victim, Siddharth Kumar Singh, experienced a sudden and fatal heart attack during his exercise routine. This is yet another case where a person has collapsed suddenly. A few months ago, one man died while waiting at the office of a property dealer, and another one collapsed during the dance at a wedding.

The moment in Ghaziabad has been captured on CCTV installed in the gym and shows Mr Singh stopping suddenly on the treadmill and slowly losing consciousness. Seconds later, he collapses on the machine.

Other concerned gym-goers rushed to help Mr Singh but couldn’t revive him.

The video also shows two men standing a few feet away from Mr Singh during the incident, and running quickly to pick him up after he fell on the treadmill.
