Youth shoots neighbour, self

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Though the police may find it hard to instil fear in criminals, for the common man, facing the police is still a much dreaded task with several instances of third degree torture and encounters making frequent headlines in the media.

It was probably this ear that forced an Agra youth to commit suicide rather than surrender to the police, when cornered by them in his house, for killing his neighbour. He was rushed to the hospital, but was proclaimed dead on arrival by the doctors.

According to sources, Raju Yadav, a resident of Etmad-ud-Daullah , Agra, had a running dispute with his neighbour, Bheekam Singh since Holi. Though the dispute was settled due to the intervention of some local elders, last week at about 10 pm, Raju, who had not been able to forget the incident, shot Bheekam in the stomach while he was sleeping in his house.

Hearing the shot, Bheekam's family tried to catch hold of Raju but the latter fled from the spot and hid inside his house. He also locked the door from inside. Meanwhile Bheekam was rushed to the hospital, where he is still under treatment. In the meanwhile his family filed an FIR against Raju.

According to the Etmad-ud-Daullah police station in-charge Shishu Yadav, Raju had been surrounded by the police when he was inside his house. The police asked him to surrender else they would force their way inside the house. A few minutes later, a shot was heard from within and when the door was broken down, he was found lying on the ground, bleeding to death from a gun-shot wound in the mouth.

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
