HAUZ KHAS: ACCUSED ARRESTED
NEW DELHI: In a remarkable crackdown, Delhi Police unravelled the rape case of a North-eastern girl in the Deer Park at Hauz Khas Village in less than 48 hours with the arrest of the accused. The accused has been identified as Raja, 19, alias Jundal. The girl was twice raped and robbed of her mobile phone and cash by the rapist before fleeing.
In the intervening night on February 18 and 19, a North-eastern girl approached the police at Hauz Khas Village and reported that she was raped by an unknown youth inside the Deer Park. The girl told the cops that she was taken by the accused inside the Deer Park on the pretext of dropping her home safely.
The accused, Raja, then took her near the dry pond made for ducks inside the Deer Park and raped her twice. He also threatened to kill her. The victim tried to get out of the clutches of the accused and hit a stone on his right temple after which he started bleeding and ran away by scaling the boundary wall of the park.
After the incident, the cops formed around 10 teams to nab the accused. Local intelligence was gathered to identify and arrest the accused at the earliest.
The CCTV footages installed in Hauz Khas Village and other relevant places were scrutinised as the police teams worked round the clock and eventually, succeeded in establishing the identity of the accused.
The cops then zeroed in on Raja, 19-year-old youth who resided in nearby Arjun Nagar and frequented the Hauz Khas area during late night. The cops then arrested him and he confessed to his crime. Police are questioning him to know if he was involved in any similar case in the past.
“Raja, the accused, worked as safai wala at one of the restaurants situated in Hauz Khas Village and hence, was well aware of the topography of the area. He consumed liquor on the fateful night and targeted the victim and her friend who were waiting for an auto-rikshaw at Hauz Khas Village to go home back,” said DCP South Ishwar Singh.
The accused was later produced in court and sent to 14 days judicial custody. NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed a Central Information Commission (CIC) order to CBSE to allow inspection of Class X and XII school records of Union Minister Smriti Irani.
Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva put on hold CIC’S January 17 direction on a plea by Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) which said the school records of Irani cannot be disclosed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act as it was third party information which was held in fiduciary capacity.
The court also issued notice to the RTI applicant, on whose application CIC had passed the order, and sought his reply by the next date of hearing on April 27. CIC in its order had rejected CBSE’S contention that the information sought by RTI applicant Mohd Naushaduddin was “personal”. The office of the Minister of Textiles and the Holy Child Auxilium School, Delhi, from where Irani has claimed to have passed out, were also directed by the Commission to give her roll number to CBSE, Ajmer, which possesses the records for the years 1991 and 1993 “to facilitate search from huge records which is yet to be digitised.”
“The Commission directs the respondent authority, the CBSE, to facilitate inspection of relevant records and provide certified copies of documents selected by the appellant free of cost, except personal details in admit card and marksheet, within 60 days from the date of receipt of this order,” CIC had said in its order.
“Disclosure of the details of a particular candidate contained in the degree or certificate register cannot cause any unwarranted invasion of privacy of the certificate holder,” the Commission had said.
It had also said if the admit card contains personal information like address, contact number and email id, then it is personal information of the candidate and need not be given. CIC had also said when a public representative declares his educational qualifications, the voter has a right to check up that declaration.
