Agra parents' trust betrayed by rape attempt at school

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. When parents leave their child at school for the first time, they believe that their darling is in the safe hands of his teachers who will be his second family for the duration he is in school.

But the parents' trust in schools was breached last week in Agra when the middle-aged brother of a school principal attempted to rape an eight-year-old girl student inside the school campus.
Badly bruised from the rape attempt , the girl managed to escape the clutches of this monster by rushing into a neighbouring house. The police have now filed a case of attempted rape against the accused.

According to Jagdish Chand, Inspector-in-charge, Sadar Police Station, on Tuesday, the residents of Pak Tola in Tajganj were startled to see a stark naked schoolgirl come running out of the local Luv-Kush convent school and seek shelter in a nearby house, where the women of the house.

When the girl came out of the shock of this ordeal, she told the most horrifying tale of the danger schoolkids face in small two-room schools that have been mushrooming in the city over the past few years.

According to the child, she had gone to the school to get her annual results when she was accosted by the school principal's brother Ram Gopal.

At the school, Ram Gopal told her that the results were kept in a room on the upper floor and asked her to accompany him. As soon as she entered the room, Ram Gopal caught her, stripped her of her clothes and tried to rape her but somehow, the girl managed to kick her way out of the room and the school, saving herself from the clutches of her assailant.

The girl said that she had trusted Ram Gopal as he was the Principal's brother and now she would find it difficult to trust any teacher again.

Later, the locals managed to catch Ram Gopal cowering inside the school and after giving him a good thrashing, handed him over to the police.

However his family managed to get him freed from the lockup claiming that Ram Gopal was mentally sick and would be admitted for treatment at the Agra Mental Asylum..

According to Jagdish Chand, the police has filed an FIR against Ram Gopal under 376, 511 IPC and if the mental asylum's report indicated that Ram Gopal was sane, he shall be sent to jail.

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
