Delhi High Court cancels bail granted to school staff accused of raping 3-year-old girl in Janakpuri school

Delhi High Court cancels bail granted to school staff accused of raping 3-year-old girl in Janakpuri school The Delhi High Court on Monday cancelled the bail granted to a man accused of sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl in a school in Janakpuri. Justice Vinod Kumar ruled that the trial court had overlooked crucial facts when it released the accused within a week of his arrest during the ongoing investigation. The High Court said that since the case is still under investigation, it was too early in the day to release the accused on bail while ignoring the child victim’s version. “The impugned order has missed the crux of the issue and the issue is as to why a minor child of three years of age would make such a complaint and would not only identify the respondent as the offender but also point out the place of occurrence... Therefore, in view of above discussions and in exercise of power under Section 528 of the BNSS Act 2023, the impugned order is set aside to secure ends of justice,” the Court observed. Therefore, it ordered the accused to surrender on July 1 at 2 PM. According to the prosecution, the incident took place on April 30 when the child, who had attended school for only the second time, complained of severe pain after returning home. She later told her mother that a "bada sa ladka" (elder boy) at school had taken her downstairs and inserted a finger into her private part. The girl subsequently identified the caretaker during the investigation and also identified the basement room where the alleged assault occurred.

'Ram ko loota, desh ko loota': Sibal attacks BJP over Ayodhya temple 'donation' case

'Ram ko loota, desh ko loota': Sibal attacks BJP over Ayodhya temple 'donation' case NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha member Kapil Sibal on Monday took a pot shot at the BJP government with a poetic dig, urging people to vote out the ruling party and alleged that it had "looted" both, the country and Lord Ram. Amid the Ayodhya Ram Temple fund embezzlement row, the senior advocate took to X and targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's "achhe din" slogan of 2014, calling it a "lie". Sibal said, "Defeat this government, Ram ko loota, desh ko loota, achhe din ka nara jhootha" (They looted Lord Ram, they looted the country, and the promise of 'achhe din' turned out to be false). "Aise shasan ko tordein ge; Mil ke Desh ko jordein ge; Na dilon ka ho ga batwara; Sab ka Desh hai Desh hamara," he further added, asserting that such governance must be defeated and that the country should be united without divisions. The Independent Rajya Sabha MP's remarks come amid growing opposition criticism over the alleged embezzlement of donations collected at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Opposition parties have also questioned PM Modi's silence on the issue and demanded stringent action against those responsible. The Congress has termed the alleged irregularities not merely a financial "scandal" but a "betrayal of faith", arguing that the Ram Temple construction was projected by the BJP as a national movement and that devotees across the country had contributed to it. Earlier on June 13, the Uttar Pradesh government constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) following a request from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust after allegations of misappropriation of temple donations surfaced.

JKLF chief Yasin Malik named main accused in brutal 1990 killing of Kashmiri Pandit nurse Sarla Bhat

JKLF chief Yasin Malik named main accused in brutal 1990 killing of Kashmiri Pandit nurse Sarla Bhat NEW DELHI: Banned Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik was on Monday named as the main accused in the abduction and brutal killing of Kashmiri Pandit nurse Sarla Bhat in 1990, as the J&K State Investigation Agency (SIA) filed a chargesheet in the case nearly 36 years after the crime. Calling it a "historic milestone" in the pursuit of justice for victims of terrorism, the SIA filed a 737-page chargesheet before a designated NIA court in Jammu after reopening the case in 2024. Sarla Bhat, a 27-year-old nurse working at the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Soura, was abducted on April 14, 1990, allegedly by JKLF-linked militants on suspicion of being a police informer. Her bullet-riddled body was found four days later in downtown Srinagar, several kilometres from where she had gone missing. According to the SIA, the investigation revealed "the involvement of Mohammad Yaseen Malik, then Chief Commander of JKLF, along with Khurshid Ahmad Chalkoo, Abdul Hamid Sheikh, Mohammad Yousuf Sofi alias Idrees and Ghulam Mohammad Taploo in planning and executing the abduction and brutal killing." While Abdul Hamid Sheikh, Ghulam Mohammad Taploo and Mohammad Yousuf Sofi are now deceased, Malik is currently serving a life sentence in Delhi's Tihar Jail following his 2022 conviction in a terror funding case. Khursheed Ahmad Chalkoo, alleged to have carried out the shooting, is believed to have fled to Pakistan, the agency said. 'Time can never become a shield for terrorism'A spokesperson for the SIA said the chargesheet was compiled after an extensive investigation involving oral testimonies, documentary evidence, forensic analysis, ballistic reports, medical records and electronic evidence gathered over decades.
