Bengal court sentences 3 men to death for 2020 rape, murder of 15-yr-old girl
KOLKATA: A court in north Bengal's Jalpaiguri district sentenced three men to death on Thursday for the gangrape and murder of a Class 10 student in 2020, a public prosector said. Three men were sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl (File Image) 'The accused were sentenced under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (Pocso),' Debashis Dutta, special public prosecutor of the Pocso Court, told reporters. Police had charged the accused with kidnapping, wrongful detention, gangrape, murder and destruction of evidence. A district police officer said the crime took place in August 2020. The 15-year-old victim was a Madrasa student. The accused, who were aged between 20 and 27 during the crime, used to work at an automobile garage and knew the victim. On August 10, 2020, one of the three men kidnapped the girl from her home in the Rajganj area with the help of two of his friends. 'They took the minor to various hotels and raped her repeatedly before murdering her,' a police officer said. They dumped her body in a septic tank. Her decomposed body was finally retrieved 12 days after the girl disappeared. 'The court heard 27 witnesses during the trial and described the crime as the rarest of the rare while announcing the sentence,' said Dutta. 'We sought justice. We are happy with the court order,' the victim's father told the local media. On June 11 this year, the same court sentenced a 31-year-old man to death for raping and murdering an 11 -year-old girl in 2023. The victim, who lived in the Dhupguri region, had gone missing on September 29, 2023. Her body was found floating in the Dudwa river on October 1, 20 km away from her home.

Kovai car blast: Jamaath says NIA framing Muslims
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore District Federation of All Jamaaths, Islamic organisations and political parties has condemned the recent arrests of two Muslim youths in connection with the 2022 Coimbatore car blast case, which is currently being probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The federation alleged that the NIA has been framing false charges against innocent Muslim youths. In the car blast case, the NIA arrested four suspects, including two from Coimbatore, on Wednesday. These arrests were made in relation to recruitment efforts for the banned terrorist organisation, Islamic State (IS), bringing the total number of arrests in the case across the state to eight. The suspects arrested are believed to have been radicalised by Jameel Basha, the founder of Madras Arabic College, who, along with his associates, is accused of recruiting youth and subtly promoting Salafi-Jihadi ideology under the guise of teaching Arabic in the state. The arrests followed an investigation into the car explosion that occurred on October 23, 2022, near Sangameswarar Temple at Kottaimedu in Coimbatore city. Jameesha Mubin, who died in the blast, has been identified as an IS sympathiser by the NIA. The federation called for an urgent meeting on Thursday wherein it passed a resolution condemning the NIA for what they claim are false cases against innocent Muslim youths and unjust arrests related to the alleged IS radicalisation case. M S Sabeer Ali, a coordinator of the federation, told TNIE that one of the two people arrested in Coimbatore on Wednesday was innocent and was actually maintaining an Arabic college (Madrasa). 'He was previously investigated by the NIA as a witness and was pressurised to be a witness in favor of the agency. When he refused, he was framed in the case and arrested. The NIA is framing charges against innocent Madrasa students to prevent the bail proceedings of earlier suspects arrested in this case which is condemnable,' he said. The federation in the meeting also decided to provide legal support to those who were allegedly wrongfully arrested and to clarify the truth surrounding these arrests to the public.
