Agra kids' murder solved with arrest of brothers

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Two days after the badly mangled bodies of two school kids were discovered in the fields of Semra in the Khandoli area of Agra, police solved the double murder that had brought the town to the brink of communal tension.
According police, two brothers Chaman and Irshad have been arrested in connection with these murders. They had been spreading a story since July last that the fields of Semra village were being haunted by ghosts, though nobody had believed them at that time.
When they could not succeed in their efforts, they decided to lend some credence to their story by displaying some hard evidence.
They took three kids Hashim, Rehan and Shah Alam, belonging to their rival families, to the field and murdered Hashim and Rehan. Seeing this Shah Alam ran for help but fainted. Chaman and Irshad decided to leave Alam alive, so that he would tell the story of a white-clad ghost killing his classmates.
But police on Thursday took Shah Alam into confidence and he revealed the names of the two brothers who carried out the murders.
Police tracked down Chaman in a village in Hathras district. On interrogation, Chaman broke down and revealed that he had murdered the two kids in collusion with his brother Irshad to frighten the villagers into relinquishing their claim on the fields and at the same time take revenge against their neighbours Mushtaq and Shabbir who had slapped Chaman some time back.
At the instance Chaman police arrested Irshad as well. The murder weapon and bloodstained clothes were also recovered from Irshad's possession and both the brothers been 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
