Three persons have been arrested for allegedly trying to rape two minor girls at southwest Delhi's Bindapur and east Delhi's Trilokpuri in two separate incidents over the past 24 hours.

According to the police, the 10-year-old victim was alone at home when the incident took place at about 3 pm today. "Two people entered the house saying that they are doing some repairing work as there was seepage on the ground floor," a police official said. The victim allowed them inside. One of them locked the door and the other tried to rape her. As the victim screamed for help, her neighbours broke open the door and nabbed the accused. The two men were handed over to the police. In the second incident, a man allegedly tried to rape his seven-year-old neighbour at Trilokpuri on Sunday. Sources claim that Vinay took the girl to his room on the pretext of giving her a chocolate. He fled after the victim raised the alarm. He was later arrested from the Sarai Kale Khan railway station.

CM, Sibal meet on redeveloping Chandni Chowk
New Delhi, February 4 The project has been divided into two phases: undergrounding of all the services and Chandni Chowk renewal. "Sibal also underlined the importance of starting the work early as the project has been hanging fire due to the multiplicity of authorities. It has been decided to take back the roads above 60 ft width from the MCD and transfer them to the PWD," said Dikshit. It has been decided that the services would be under 2 ft inside the ground. The DJB lines are already underground. Hanging power cables from Jain Lal Mandir to Fatehpuri Masjid have spoiled the heritage value of the walled city. "Power distribution companies, MTNL and IGL have been directed to get their lines underground in consultation with the PWD and the DMRC. The DMRC has been asked to provide its expertise in making the lines underground without disturbing traffic in the localities," she said. A coordination group has been constituted for redevelopment of Chandni Chowk. All the agencies have been told to work in tandem to ensure completion of the project within the time, she added. |
