NEW DELHI: Lt. Governor Anil Baijal on Thursday stressed upon a structured mechanism for interaction between police officers and principals of girls' colleges/ schools, and deployment of more security guards in and around such institutions to generate a greater sense of security among them.
While chairing a law and order meeting of the Delhi Police, Baijal stressed the need to have a structured mechanism of interaction between the Station House Officers (SHOS) and the heads of the girls' institutions for a prompt response in cases of need.
He also advised the Education Department to deploy more security guards in and around schools during girls' shift to make them feel safer.
The LG also reviewed the measures being taken by the police to curb the menace of mugging and other street crimes, among other things.
The Delhi Police made a detailed presentation on the preventive measures taken by them like identification of hot spots of crime, enhanced vis- ibility of police in field and enhancement of community participation.
According to the police, 174 anti-snatching teams have been constituted and 877 snatchers have been apprehended in 2018.
Baijal also stressed upon intensification of beat patrolling on motorcycles as it serves the dual purpose of increased police visibility as well as greater area coverage in a short span of time. He suggested that community engagement initiatives like Eyes and Ears Scheme, YUVA, Sashakti, Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and Prahari be intensified to get optimum results.
On the safety of senior citizens residing alone, he directed that the police must register such people through an outreach programme and conduct regular surprise checks.
The meeting was attended by the Delhi Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary (Home), Delhi Commissioner of Police, Director (Education), Director (TTE), Commissioner (Excise), Special Commissioner (Transport), and Special and Joint Commissioners of Police. NEW DELHI: A man, who pushed his wife down the staircase under the influence of alcohol and injured her severely, has been sent to three-month imprisonment by a Delhi court, which took a lenient view towards him saying he appeared remorseful.
The court awarded him a sentence of three months and 12 days, the period he has already spent behind bars during trial, for the offence of attempt to commit culpable homicide punishable under section 308 of the IPC considering that the victim and her daughter had separated from him immediately after the incident two years ago.
"Convict has been found guilty for offence punish- able under section 308 (Part II) of the IPC, which attracts punishment in the form of imprisonment up to seven years... The convict has clean records and it seems that he has mended his ways.
"Further, he appears to be remorseful. Moreover, the complainant and their daughter had already left the company of the convict. This court is of the view that a lenient view is required to be taken against the convict. The convict is sentenced to imprisonment for the period already undergone (3 months and 12 days) by him," Additional Sessions Judge Vivek Kumar Gulia said.
According to the prosecution, an FIR was registered on the complaint of the victim alleging that on April 16, 2016, her husband started abusing her under the influence of liquor and when she resisted his behaviour, he kicked and punched her.
Before her daughter could rescue her, her husband pushed her off the stairs, due to which she suffered multiple fractures and injuries in her hands, face and head. The incident took place at his residence in Dabri area of southwest Delhi.
The man had denied all the allegations claiming he had a verbal altercation with his wife, after which she accidentally slipped from the stairs.
The court, while holding him guilty, relied on the sole testimony of the victim saying she answered all the material questions "convincingly and no inconsistency, discrepancy or contradiction cropped up during her deposition."
