Rape

The special team investigating into the case of Mysuru gang rape case has recorded the statement of the male friend of the victim, said police sources on Friday. The friend has narrated the horror they went through on August 24.

The youth stated that the place they went has been familiar to him and he used to jog every day on that stretch. He has told police that all the accused were between the age group of 25 to 30 years.

“After the classes, at about 7.30 p.m., we went on bike. I went in front of the JSS Ayurvedic college road and reached the spot after going through Water tank kacha (not asphalted) road which is known to me. We were taking a walk on that stretch when all of a sudden six men surrounded us,” he told the police.

He explained that they started beating him with sticks. One slender fellow among them smashed his forehead with a small boulder. He was attacked until he became unconscious. “When I woke up, I found four people surrounding me. I asked where my girlfriend is. Two of them dragged her out of the bush and laid her beside me. She seemed unconscious and injuries were found all over,” he has told police.

The rapists further snatched his mobile and made him call his father to arrange for Rs 3 lakh immediately. It is not yet known whether rapists got the money before releasing the girl and her male friend.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the rapists had stripped her and made video of the incident. They had threatened both that if they spoke about it, their video would be made viral. The incident came to light after the girl got admitted to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has instructed the Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP) Praveen Sood to visit Mysuru and hold a meeting with the officers to expedite the investigation.

Home Minister Araga Jnanendra who is in Mysuru, visited the Chamundi hill. Speaking to reporters, he said that he had prayed to Goddess Chamundeshwari to take care of the crimes. “I have prayed to the goddess to absolutely stop crimes from taking place rather than asking just for prevention,” he maintained. He also said that he had prayed before the deity to give strength to him as well as the police department.

He further said that it has become tough for the police to crack the case as they are not getting proper inputs from the victims. The boy is talking to the police. There is no information available on the accused persons.

Additional DGP Pratap Reddy who is in-charge of the special team said, the gang rape incident is a challenging case for the police. The officers are conducting investigations without the statement of the girl. The investigation is based on the statements of the male friend of the victim, he said.

Case has been registered under IPC 376 D (gang rape) and 397 (dacoity). Five teams have been formed to crack the case. Bright officers have been roped in from other districts. “The Karnataka Police have cracked many difficult cases. We will solve this case and arrest the culprits. Regain the confidence and trust of people,” he said.

Mumbai Shocker: Stepfather Arrested For Murder Of Missing 4-Year-Old Girl From Antop Hill; Body Found In Colaba

Mumbai: In a chilling turn of events, the Mumbai Police on Tuesday arrested Imran Shaikh, the stepfather of four-year-old Amaira Shaikh, in connection with her murder. The child had gone missing from her residence in Antop Hill on the night of July 14 and her body was recovered from the Colaba sea coast the next morning.

Police Suspected Stepfather Over Girl’s Disappearance

Amaira was reported missing by her mother, Nazia, who had gone to the Antop Hill police station to lodge a complaint. However, as the investigation progressed, suspicion grew around Imran’s role in the child’s disappearance. Imran, also known as Immu, had taken Amaira with him the night she went missing and had been unreachable since, with his phone switched off.

Body Found Near Sassoon Dock

Amaira lived with her mother and stepfather in the Bengali Pura area of Rajiv Nagar in Antop Hill. Nazia, who has been previously married twice, was currently in her third marriage with Imran. On the night of July 14, after failing to locate Amaira despite searching extensively, Nazia approached the police. The next morning, Colaba police received an alert about a child’s body found floating near Sassoon Dock. The body, later confirmed to be Amaira’s, was sent to St. George Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Initially, the Antop Hill police registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), but with Imran absconding, suspicions deepened. Using physical identifiers from the missing person’s report, Colaba police confirmed the identity of the deceased. Cops now believe that Amaira may have been murdered and her body dumped into the sea.

Following this development, police intensified efforts to trace Imran. After going off the radar briefly, he was arrested on Tuesday. Authorities are now focusing on uncovering the motive behind the brutal crime and piecing together the exact sequence of events leading to the child’s death.
