Etah, UP: Girl Plots Her Own Kidnap; Demands Rs 1 Crore Ransom from Father

Cooking up a fake story, a 19-year-old girl in a shocking move, plotted her own kidnapping with her boyfriend’s help and then asked for a ransom of Rs 1 crore from her father in Etah, Uttar Pradesh. 

The police officials started investigating thinking that a professional kidnapper might be behind it but later sensed that things felt fishy due to continuous negotiations and long-hour calls by the kidnapper. The police then tracked down her mobile number, which was traced around 200m from her home.

Upon interrogation, it was found that the girl and her boyfriend are neighbours and have been in a relationship for around two years, despite the family’s wishes. The girl hatched the plan after she came to know that her family is planning to open a school with an investment of Rs 1 crore. She wanted to use this money to elope with her boyfriend!'

UP: Women played key role in two kidnap dramas

Two recent high-profile cases of kidnapping in Uttar Pradesh showcase the increasing involvement of women in crime.

The kidnapping and murder of a Kanpur lab technician, Sanjeet Yadav, has now led to the arrest of a young woman named Preeti Sharma. Preeti posed as the wife of one of the other accused to take a house on rent where they held lab technician Sanjeet Yadav hostage. Preeti also conducted the recce of Sanjeet's house and interacted with neighbours and landlord to avoid suspicion. According to sources, Preeti was assured a share in the ransom and she agreed to join the plot because she wanted to set up her own business.

In the kidnapping of the eight-year-old son of a gutka trader in Gonda, Chhavi Pandey, wife of the main accused Suraj Pandey played a key role in the crime. Chhavi Pandey made the Rs 4 crore ransom call to the family and threatened to kill the boy if they did not pay the money. "During interrogation, Chhavi disclosed that they had planned to chop the boy's body and dump it in the river," said an officer in the crime branch that finally managed to get the boy back and arrested the accused.

"This is a new phenomenon that is emerging in the world of crime. Women are now playing a frontline role in crime and the state police will also have to change its attitude towards investigations. The issue needs to be researched because what is shocking is the fact that in both these kidnapping cases, the women are rather young," said a retired Director General of Police.

Hyderabad: Woman Kills Husband

A 32-year-old woman Sukanya allegedly killed her husband Prabhakar. 

According to reports, the couple Prabhakaran and Sukanya belong to Chennai and were accused in the money-back policy scheme.

In 2012, the Tamil Nadu CID police arrested Prabhakaran in a Rs 500 crore money back policy cheating racket and Sukanya was arrested in 2013. They are presently out on bail. Prabhakaran managed to get bail within a year, but Sukanya could not and was in prison for five years from 2013 to 2018.

After she was released from jail, she used to stay with her relatives along with her children at Chandragiri in Andhra Pradesh as she could not find her husband's information.

Recently, she came to know about her husband that he was residing at Andal Nagar in Moula Ali of Hyderabad and came to meet him along with her three children ten days ago. To her shock, she found that her husband is living with another woman. He told her that the woman was his caretaker as he was suffering from paralysis. However, Sukanya sent the other woman out of their house as she wanted to live with her husband.

He demanded that she (another woman) returned home and also started harassing her. Unable to bear the torture of her husband, she decided to put an end to his life. She smothered and killed him and even as she tried to portray it as suicide and called police.

Upon learning the information, police have reached the spot and shifted the corpse for postmortem and registered a suspicious death case.

However, police grew suspicious over the death as she was refused to lodge a complaint and behaved in a suspicious manner. Upon suspicion, police questioned Sukanya for her husband's death in which she admitted to killing him.

She confessed that unable to bear torture and also angry over her husband that he had been living with another woman, she killed him.

Patna: Man Shot At; Carried on a Thela Cart to Hospital

We come across media reports about how some pregnant or sick woman is carried to hospital on carts, rickshaws, and sometimes even by simply hands of their family members. As per such reports, this happens because the women and their family are poor and sometimes the hospitals are corrupt who do not allow them access to ambulances. But we never come across news showing some man also being carried in similar manner, although it is quite common for sick or injured men also being carried in an improper manner to hospital. 

The above picture published in today's Daink Bhaskar came to my attention and made me think abut all the gender biased media reports I have been seeing which try to depict only female victims as real victims and similar things happening to men are never reported. The above picture just got reported along with the main news about the loot.

Delhi: Woman Kills Children, Commits Suicide

A woman pushed her two daughters, aged five and six, and one-year-old son before an oncoming train and jumped after them at the Mandawali railway station early on Thursday. While the woman and the two girls were crushed under the train, the boy survived after falling on railway track sleepers.

He found the woman and her two daughters lying in a pool of blood, while the boy was trying to wake them up. RPF recovered the bodies from the tracks and took them to a hospital. The boy was also taken there for a check-up.

Rakesh, who pulls a rickshaw around Mandawali railway station, told police that Kiran was suffering from a mental condition where she couldn’t tolerate the presence of the children in the house. On Wednesday night, she went missing along with the three children. He claimed that he was fast asleep at that time.

A probe is on to find out how Kiran and the children managed to reach the platform without a ticket and then jump in front of a train. Police suspect they were crushed by a freight train around midnight. The loco pilots of such trains might be questioned.

The bodies of the woman and the two girls were handed over to family members after an autopsy on Thursday evening. The boy will be discharged after he recuperates from his injuries and trauma. Kiran got married to Rakesh in 2013.
