Three days after raping a minor, railway driver traceless

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Three days after a minor girl from New Delhi was raped at the Agra cantonment railway station by a railway driver, the police is still to trace the whereabouts of the absconding driver who has been suspended from duty after the incident.

According to Mr Raj Bahadur, Superintendent, UP Government Railway Police, the 13-year-old girl was a resident of Delhi's Khajuri area and had been living at her sister's home in Agra for some time.

On Saturday, the girl was returning to Delhi alone and was sitting at the Agra cantonment railway station waiting for the train to arrive when Mohammed Ali, a shunting engine driver, took her into the nearby railway shunting yard, promising her a ride in the railway engine. Upon reaching the yard, Ali locked the engine from inside and raped the girl.

It was only when some other railway workers working near the yard heard the girl's cries that they banged the engine's door to force it open, upon which Ali jumped out of the engine on the opposite side of the track and escaped. The badly bruised girl was then brought to the Yard Master's office who informed the police.

According to the Superintendent, the police has registered a case of rape against Mohammed Ali upon the information of railway workers Jitendra and Jawahari, who had identified the fleeing driver. He said medical examination of the girl has confirmed rape but the driver is still to be located and arrested.

Mr Bahadur said now the police is planning to get an order for the attachment of the driver's property to force him into surrendering to the police. The girl has been handed over to her parents who rushed from Delhi upon learning about the incident from their other daughter.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
