"It is alleged that she was kidnapped by her 26-year-old cousin Pradeep and his friends Rahul and Amit from near her school in a Mahindra Scorpio SUV," a police officer said. The accused then allegedly took her to a house in Sarojini Nagar where they took turns to rape her. They released her in the afternoon after threatening her with dire consequences if she told the incident to anyone. The girl took an autorickshaw and reached her residence.

IIT Delhi to come up with innovation centre
New Delhi, April 17 While as many as 500 such exhibits and projects are here to capture the attention of tech-connoisseurs once the exposition opens for public on Saturday, the institute in a bid to promote skills and ideas of young students is also coming up with an innovation centre this year. Many among them available for a media preview here today are undeniably the result of years of ingenious and extensive research work of undergraduate and research students of the premier institution of the country. On the sidelines of the Open House, IIT director Prof RK Shevgaonkar said, "We are looking at a whole value change where students are given a free space to put forth their ideas. The innovation centre will promote ideas allowing students to try and this would actually help them score credits as part of their curriculum. The support will come from the alumni batches 86 and 87." On the innovation value and patents associated, managing director of Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer,
IIT, Dr Anil Wali said that all the products created here may not be inventive but they can surely help market commercially viable items. "The idea is to collaborate with the industry to take these products to society. We have been on the ascending curve in the last three years where roughly around 30 patents are filed each year," added Dr
Wali. |

Engineers to take action against illegal constructions
New Delhi, April 17 The members of the Engineers' Forum of all the three corporations today held a demonstration at zonal office. In a meeting with the NDMC Commissioner, they decided to take action against the unauthorized construction and encroachment in the area. "The commissioner has assured us that every action under the law will be taken against them," said AP Khan, general secretary of the forum. He said that a case has been registered against the area councillor. Engineers said that they become the victims every time they try to take action against illegal construction in the city zone as it all happens under the cover of political leaders and builder mafia. "Even as there is no space left in the walled city, the property rates have gone very high there. The builders encroach upon lands to make big money with the support of political leaders. And when we try to stop them, we are thrashed," he said. MC Meena had gone with his team to take action against unauthorized construction in Daryaganj. But the owner of the house was not present. He alleged that Mohammed and his men barged into the office and thrashed him. Later his father Iqbal too joined the gang and beat him up. However, Iqbal denied the allegations. |
