MCGS Guardian, after successful­ly completing all the mandated trials, is set to return to Mauritius “as good as new”, the NWC official statement said.

A five-yearold girl was kidnapped, raped and stabbed to death allegedly by a man who used to work at her father’s tent house in Asaoti village in Haryana’s Palwal district. The accused, identified as Virender alias Bholu, allegedly committed the heinous act on Thursday night over some old enmity with the girl’s father. “Virender was arrested and remanded to a three-day police custody on Saturday. He is being interrogat­ed,” SP, Palwal, Waseem Akram said. Virender used to work at the tent house owned by the girl’s father. They had a heated argument over some issue earlier. In order to vent his anger, the accused abducted the girl, police said.
