Woman molested in car
New Delhi, March 15 Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer District) B S Jaiswal said, “The woman saved herself by jumping through the window of the silver-coloured Alto. The rear wheel of the vehicle came over her left leg.” The victim works in Karol Bagh and had taken a grameen seva, a private transport, from the Nangloi railway crossing to her house in Aman Vihar. At about 10.30 pm on Kirari Fatak Road, the Alto car intercepted the vehicle. According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Kuldeep and Deepak allegedly pulled the victim out of the grameen seva vehicle and dragged her into their car. They molested the victim while the car was moving. She alleges that they were reeking of liquor. When the car reached Kirari Mubarakpur Road, the victim managed to jump out of the window, but was injured in her leg. A passerby informed the police that the woman was lying near the Baldev Public School in Aman Vihar. The passerby told the police that he was taking the victim to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Mangolpuri, located on the outskirts of Delhi. A police team rushed to the hospital and took her statement. The victim said the two men, who are acquainted with her, abducted and molested her in their car before she jumped out. She was later referred to Safdarjung Hospital. |

6 candidates in fray for JNU gender panel
New Delhi, March 15 GSCASH has three major functions: gender sensitisation and orientation; crisis management and mediation; formal enquiry and redress. With polling ahead on March 22, the names of final six candidates were declared yesterday and the campaigning kicked off today. Since its inception in 1999, the committee has been handling a diverse array of charges ranging from winking, making comments, leering, sending pornographic material to making physical advances. This is the second GSCASH election after a hiatus of four years when the Supreme Court stayed the JNU student union elections. As a result, GSCASH also remained unelected. It comprises two elected student representatives along with two elected faculty members, two wardens, two members from JNU staff association, two from officers’ association, one member from JNUSU, one woman academician and one NGO representative. GSCASH is headed by a chairperson, also from the faculty. The ‘apolitical’ body follows a very formal style and conducts regular hearings in the complaints filed. For candidates today, the main focal issues included preserving the autonomy of GSCASH, wider gender sensitization programmes in and around campus, installation of sanitary napkins and condom vending machines and deployment of female security staff on campus. |

BJP blames lax security for
Tihar suicides
New Delhi, March 15 The matter was raised by Opposition leader Prof VK Malhotra in the wake of Ram Singh’s suicide, the main accused in December 16 gangrape case. Expressing concern over the increasing number of suicides in the jail, Malhotra said that the state government has failed to provide an efficient security system in the jail. He held the Delhi government responsible for the suicide as the jail administration directly reports to it. Tihar has some of the country’s topmost criminals, including several Pakistani nationals. Describing the poor state of the prison, Malhotra said that it has become a den of drugs and the inmates break rules without any fear of the authorities. “Tihar is the country’s most significant jail which has prisoners from Pakistan. But it has become a den of drug peddlers due to the government’s apathy. There is no check on them,” said Malhotra. He said that the government had proposed to install CCTV cameras in the jail, a proposal which never saw the light of day. “Why the government failed to install cameras in the jail when it was announced long back. This is a very serious matter and needs to be addressed immediately,” said Jagdish Mukhi, a BJP MLA. Malhotra also criticized Chief Minister Sheila Delhi for her indifferent stand towards Ram Singh’s death and wondered as to why she allowed the Director General of the Prison (DGP) to speak to the Home Minister on the matter. The DGP should have spoken to her instead. |
