Man gets 5 yrs for stalking, grabbing Class 10 student
Mumbai: A sessions court has convicted a 33-year-old man and sentenced him to five years of rigorous imprisonment for stalking and outraging the modesty of a Class 10 student on her way to tuitions in 2019. The court found that the accused stalked the victim for over a month, caught hold of her hand, and uttered "I love you," an act resisted by the victim. "The act of the accused holding the hand and pulling her towards him is itself applying criminal force to the victim. Despite the disinterest shown by the victim, the accused continued the act, attempted to talk with her and stalked her. The act of the accused certainly outraged the modesty of the victim," the court said. It, however, acquitted him of charges under Pocso Act as the prosecution failed to prove that the victim was under 18 at the time of the incident, thus making the act's provisions inapplicable. The investigating officer said the baptism certificate presented to prove her age was not issued by a local authority and was not sufficient proof.

The same night, while she walked back home, the accused intercepted her, grabbed her hand, pulled her close, professed his love, and attempted to kiss her. The victim resisted, pushed him away and confided in her aunt, with whom she was residing in the city. After an FIR was lodged, the man was arrested on June 8. During the trial, the prosecution examined five witnesses. The victim's deposition was corroborated by her maternal uncle and aunt, who described her distressed state and immediate disclosure of the incident. A key aspect of the judgment revolved around the victim's age. While a birth date of June 12, 2002, was stated, a baptism certificate indicated June 12, 2004. However, the court found that the prosecution failed to provide legally admissible proof that she was under 18 at that time. The baptism certificate was not issued by a local authority, and the victim herself, during cross-examination, admitted it was incorrect.

Delhi Man, 42, Kills Colleague For Refusing Loan, Dumps Body In Tank: Cops
New Delhi: A 42-year-old man was allegedly bludgeoned to death at a farmhouse in Chhattarpur by his colleague after he refused to lend him Rs 10,000, officials said on Sunday. The accused, identified as Chandra Prakash (47), who worked as a driver at the same farmhouse, was arrested from Palam in southwest Delhi, he said. According to the police, a missing person report for an individual named Sita Ram, a native of Uttar Pradesh, was filed at the Mehrauli Police Station on July 26. "Sita Ram had been a domestic worker at a private farmhouse in Chhattarpur for the past 10 years and was staying alone at the premises because the owner was out of town," Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan said in a statement. The authorities were alerted when domestic staff discovered that the main doors of the farmhouse were open and Sita Ram was missing. Upon receiving the complaint, a team from the Mehrauli Police Station initiated a search operation. During this search, his body was found in the septic tank located within the farmhouse, said the DCP. Crime and forensic teams were called to the scene immediately, and the body was sent for a post-mortem examination. "Based on initial findings, a case was registered on Sunday under Sections 103(1) (murder) and 238(a) (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Mehrauli," said the officer. The investigation team began analysing CCTV footage, mobile data records, and statements from other workers. During this process, it was noted that Chandra Prakash, who had been the farmhouse owner's driver for the past seven years, was missing from the area. "Using technical surveillance and tips from local sources, police tracked Chandra Prakash's location to Palam in Delhi, where he was apprehended," said the officer. Upon sustained interrogation, Chandra Prakash confessed to the crime. "He disclosed that he had requested Rs 10,000 from Sita Ram, but when the latter refused, a heated argument broke out between the two. In a fit of rage, he picked up a hammer and struck Sita Ram on the head, killing him," said the officer, adding that to hide the crime, the accused dumped the body into the septic tank and fled the scene. The murder weapon was recovered from the premises based on Chandra Prakash's disclosure, and further investigation is ongoing to determine if anyone else was involved or had prior knowledge of the incident. Chandra Prakash, originally from Pantgaon village in Almora district, Uttarakhand, resided in Chhattarpur and worked at the farmhouse. Recalling Sita Ram as a helpful man with a good nature, several locals expressed their shock at his death. "I work in another farmhouse and I have known Sita Ram for the last two years. He was a good man and was very helpful," a local worker said. He also alleged that Chandra Prakash initially informed the farmhouse owner about Sita Ram's disappearance, which prompted the owner to notify the police. Several other workers near the farmhouse demanded strict action against the accused.
