3 મેચની T20 શ્રેણીની બીજી મેચ ભારત અને દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકા (India Vs South Africa) વચ્ચે ગુવાહાટીમાં રમાશે, જ્યાં રોહિત શર્મા (Rohit Sharma) ની આગેવાની હેઠળની ટીમ ઈન્ડિયા T20 વર્લ્ડ કપ (T20 World Cup 2022) પહેલા તેની છેલ્લી T20 શ્રેણીમાં જીત નોંધાવવા પર નજર રાખશે. ભારત આ શ્રેણીમાં 1-0થી આગળ છે. તિરુવનંતપુરમમાં ભારતે 8 વિકેટે જીત મેળવી હતી. કેએલ રાહુલ અને સૂર્યકુમાર યાદવે પ્રથમ મેચમાં અણનમ અડધી સદી ફટકારી હતી. અર્શદીપ સિંહ, દીપક ચહર, આર અશ્વિને પણ અદભૂત બોલિંગ કરી હતી.

જો કે, બીજી T20 મેચ પહેલા, ભારતને જસપ્રીત બુમરાહના રૂપમાં મોટો આંચકો લાગ્યો હતો, જે ઈજાને કારણે પ્રથમ T20 મેચ પણ રમી શક્યો ન હતો અને હવે તે બેક સ્ટ્રેસ ફ્રેક્ચરને કારણે સંપૂર્ણ શ્રેણીમાંથી બહાર થઈ ગયો છે. તેના સ્થાને મોહમ્મદ સિરાજને તક આપવામાં આવી છે.

Bajaj-Triumph 350 cc scrambler spy shots leaked, reveals design details | Auto News

Bajaj and Triumph are planning to launch a new 350-cc motorcycle in India. The bike is still in the development phase and has been spotted testing for the first time on Indian roads. Based on the engine capacity and the looks, the bike will be a scrambler and will compete against Royal Enfield and Honda bikes with similar engine capacity. The bike is a result of a partnership between Bajaj and Triumph announced in 2017 to produce mid-level bikes for the Indian market. The test mule of the bike spotted is the first of the bikes developed in their partnership. Reports suggest that the bikes will be developed by Triumph while Bajaj will handle the production.

The Bajaj-Triumph motorcycle appears to follow a classic aesthetic motif with a touch of modernization based on spy photos. The circular headlamp configuration is accompanied up front by a set of retro-inspired indicators and rearview mirrors. The two-wheeler has a traditional handlebar configuration and a prominent visor to ensure the best possible wind deflection.

Moreover, The fuel lid, which is finished in chrome on top, gives the fuel tank a quite robust appearance. The bike has few body panels, mirrored in how much of the frame is left exposed. With a split seat design and a back grab grip for the passenger. In addition, the test mule is loaded with multiple accessories like knuckle guards, tail bag, tank bag, tank pads, and a saddle bag on the left side.

It will be coupled to a 6-speed toe-shift transmission. The system’s power output will be comparable to that of its direct competitors. Similarly, there is no information on the pricing of the bike but it is expected to be closed Rs 2-3 lakh (ex-showroom).

Prashant Kishor To Embark On 3,500-Km 'Padyatra' In Bihar From Sunday

Prashant Kishor will attempt to reach every panchayat and block during the yatra. (File)

Patna:

Political strategist Prashant Kishor will embark on a 3,500 km ‘padyatra’ in Bihar from West Champaran district on Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary on Sunday as part of his ‘Jan Suraj’ campaign.  

The yatra is likely to take anywhere between 12-18 months and it is being widely seen to be a likely precursor to his entry in politics even though he has often stressed that any such decision can only be taken by people who associate themselves with his campaign.

A statement said Mr Kishor will attempt to reach every panchayat and block during the yatra and will be a part of it till its end without taking any break.

He will start his journey from Gandhi Ashram in Bhitiharwa in West Champaran, where the father of the nation had launched his first satyagraha movement in 1917.

In the run up to the yatra, Mr Kishor had been touring the backward areas to interact with members of civil society, emphasising that the state does not merely need a change of government but require coming together of well-meaning people to transform the system.

The statement said the yatra has three main goals, including identifying right people at the grassroots and bring them on a democratic platform.

It will also work to make a vision document for the state by incorporating views from experts in different fields, including education, health, agriculture and industry.

જસપ્રીત બુમરાહ (Jasprit Bumrah) દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકા સામેની T20I શ્રેણીમાંથી બહાર થઈ ગયો છે અને હાલમાં NCA ખાતે તબીબી ટીમની દેખરેખ હેઠળ તેના પરીક્ષણો કરાવી રહ્યો છે.

Jasprit Bumrah ને લઈ રાહુલે અપડેટ આપ્યુ

જસપ્રીત બુમરાહ (Jasprit Bumrah) T20 વર્લ્ડ કપમાં રમી શકશે કે નહીં? અત્યારે ભારતીય ક્રિકેટમાં આ જ સવાલ પૂછવામાં આવી રહ્યો છે. સમાચાર એજન્સી એ ગત ગુરુવાર 29 સપ્ટેમ્બરના રોજ એક અહેવાલમાં દાવો કર્યો હતો કે બુમરાહ તેની પીઠમાં સ્ટ્રેસ ફ્રેક્ચરને કારણે T20 વર્લ્ડ કપ (T20 World Cup 2022) માં રમી શકશે નહીં. ભારતીય ક્રિકેટ કંટ્રોલ બોર્ડે જો કે હજુ સુધી આ અંગે કંઈ કહ્યું નથી અને બોર્ડના પ્રમુખ સૌરવ ગાંગુલી સ્વસ્થ થવાની આશા વ્યક્ત કરી રહ્યા છે. ટીમ ઈન્ડિયાના કોચ રાહુલ દ્રવિડે (Rahul Dravid) પણ હવે પોતાની પ્રતિક્રિયા આપી છે.

WhatsApp Bans Over 23.28 Lakh Indian Accounts In August

WhatsApp banned over 23.28 lakh Indian accounts in August. (Representational)

New Delhi:

WhatsApp banned over 23.28 lakh Indian accounts in August, of which over 10 lakh accounts were proactively taken down before any report from users, the messaging platform said on Saturday.

This is lower than the level seen in the previous month. Over 23.87 lakh Indian accounts were banned by WhatsApp in July.

“Between 1 August, 2022 and 31 August, 2022, 2,328,000 WhatsApp accounts were banned. 1,008,000 of these accounts were proactively banned, before any reports from users,” WhatsApp said in its monthly compliance report.

An Indian account is identified via a +91 phone number.

Over 22 lakh Indian accounts were banned by WhatsApp in June on the basis of complaints received via its grievance redressal channel and through its own mechanism to detect violations. Earlier, 19 lakh such accounts were banned by WhatsApp in May, 16 lakh accounts in April, and 18.05 lakh in March.

The tougher IT rules, which came into effect last year, mandate large digital platforms (with over 50 lakh users) to publish compliance reports every month, mentioning the details of complaints received and action taken.

Big social media firms have drawn flak in the past over hate speech, misinformation and fake news circulating on their platforms. Concerns have been flagged by some quarters time and again over digital platforms acting arbitrarily in pulling down content, and ‘de-platforming’ users.

The government is in the midst of formulating new social media norms that propose to give users a grievance appeal mechanism against arbitrary content moderation, inaction, or takedown decisions of big tech companies.

According to the latest report, as many as 598 grievance reports were received, and 19 accounts were “actioned” between August 1 and August 31, 2022.

Of the total reports received, 449 pertained to ‘ban appeal’ while others were in the categories of account support, product support and safety, among others.

“We respond to all grievances received except in cases where a grievance is deemed to be a duplicate of a previous ticket. An account is ‘actioned’ when an account is banned or a previously banned account is restored, as a result of a complaint,” the report said.

The IT ministry, in June, circulated the draft rules that propose a panel to hear user appeals against inaction on complaints made, or against content-related decisions taken by grievance officers of social media platforms.

At present, “there is no appellate mechanism provided by intermediaries nor is there any credible self-regulatory mechanism in place”, the ministry had said.

The government had last year notified IT rules to make digital intermediaries more accountable and responsible for content hosted on their platforms.

In its compliance report, WhatsApp said: “We will continue with the transparency to our work and include information about our efforts in future reports.”

IND vs SA T20 Preview: ઓસ્ટ્રેલિયા પછી હવે દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકાને શ્રેણીમાં હરાવશે, ટીમ ઈન્ડિયા ગુવાહાટીમાં વગાડશે ડંકો? | India Vs South Africa 2nd T20 match preview IND vs SA match highlights in Gujarati

IND Vs SA T20 Match Highlights: પ્રથમ મેચમાં એકતરફી રમત બતાવ્યા બાદ ટીમ ઈન્ડિયાની નજર હવે શ્રેણીમાં અજેય લીડ લેવા પર છે અને આ માટે તેઓ બીજી મેચ જીતવા ઈચ્છશે.

Team India સિરીઝમાં 1-0 થી આગળ છે

ભારતીય ક્રિકેટ ટીમે (India Vs South Africa) પ્રથમ T20 મેચમાં દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકાને હરાવીને ત્રણ મેચોની શ્રેણીની શાનદાર શરૂઆત કરી હતી. હવે આ બંને ટીમો રવિવારે ગુવાહાટીમાં સામસામે ટકરાશે. આ મેચમાં જો ટીમ ઈન્ડિયા (Team India) ની નજર સીરીઝ જીતવા પર રહેશે તો દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકા વાપસી કરવાનો પ્રયાસ કરશે. પરંતુ બંને માટે રસ્તો સરળ નથી. ટીમ ઈન્ડિયા ને મોટો ઝટકો લાગ્યો છે. જસપ્રીત બુમરાહ (Jasprit Bumrah) ઈજાના કારણે બહાર થઈ ગયો છે.

જો કે, પ્રથમ મેચમાં યજમાનોએ જે રીતે પ્રદર્શન કર્યું હતું તે જોતા ભારતનો હાથ ઉપર હોય તેવું લાગે છે. બુમરાહ પ્રથમ મેચમાં રમ્યો ન હતો અને તેના વિના પણ ભારતીય ટીમની બોલિંગ શાનદાર રહી હતી. દીપક ચહર અને અર્શદીપ સિંહે દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકાની બેટિંગને ખતમ કરી દીધી હતી.

અનેક મુશ્કેલીઓ

ઓસ્ટ્રેલિયામાં યોજાનાર T20 વર્લ્ડ કપમાં બુમરાહની ભૂમિકા નિર્ણાયક બની હોત, પરંતુ પીઠની સમસ્યાને કારણે ઈન્ટરનેશનલ ક્રિકેટ કાઉન્સિલ (ICC) ઈવેન્ટમાં પેસરનું રમવું હાલમાં શંકાસ્પદ છે. વર્લ્ડ કપ પહેલા ટીમની તૈયારીઓને નક્કર આકાર આપવા માટે દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકા સામેની શ્રેણીનું આયોજન કરવામાં આવ્યું હતું. પરંતુ બુમરાહની ગેરહાજરીએ મુખ્ય કોચ રાહુલ દ્રવિડ અને કેપ્ટન રોહિત શર્મા સામે ઘણી મુશ્કેલીઓ ઉભી થઈ છે.

મોહમ્મદ સિરાજ અને ઉમેશ યાદવને ટીમમાં સામેલ કરવામાં આવ્યા છે પરંતુ આ બંને હજુ વર્લ્ડ કપની ટીમમાં નથી. સૌથી મોટો સવાલ એ છે કે શું ટીમ મેનેજમેન્ટને બુમરાહના સ્થાને આવેલા બોલરને અજમાવવાની પૂરતી તક મળશે. વર્લ્ડ કપ માટે સ્ટેન્ડબાય પર રહેલા અનુભવી ઝડપી બોલર મોહમ્મદ શમી કોવિડ-19માંથી સાજો થઈ ગયો છે અને દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકા સામેની શ્રેણી માટે ટીમમાં સામેલ નથી. તેને ઓસ્ટ્રેલિયા જનારી ટીમમાં સામેલ કરી શકાય છે કારણ કે તેને ત્યાંની પરિસ્થિતિમાં રમવાનો અનુભવ છે. જો આમ થશે તો 16 ઓક્ટોબરથી શરૂ થનારા વર્લ્ડ કપ પહેલા તેને પૂરતી મેચ પ્રેક્ટિસ નહીં મળે.

પત્રકાર પર હુમલાનો પ્રયાસ

પોલીસે પ્રફુલની અટકાયત કરી હતી જે અંગે સમાચાર કવરેજ કરવા ગયેલા સંદેશ ન્યુઝ ચેનલના ઋષિ થાનકી નામના પત્રકાર પર પણ પ્રફૂલે હુમલો કરતા ઋષિ પાછળ હટી જતા તેનો હાથ કેમેરામાં લાગ્યો હતો. આથી પોલીસે પ્રફુલને પકડી રાખતા ઋષિનો બચાવ થયો હતો. જતા જતા, પ્રફૂલે તેને તથા અન્ય મીડિયાકર્મીઓને પોતાનું શુટિંગ શા માટે ઉતારો છો તેવું કહી પોતાનું કોઈ પણ ન્યુઝ પેપર કે ચેનલમાં આવ્યું તો બધાને પતાવી દઈશ તેવી ધમકી આપી હતી. આથી ઋષિ એ પણ પ્રફુલ વિરુદ્ધ પોલીસ ફરિયાદ નોંધાવી છે. બનાવના પગલે પત્રકારોમાં પણ રોષ જોવા મળ્યો હતો અને આરોપી સામે કડક કાર્યવાહી કરવા માંગ કરી હતી.

સીટી ડીવાયએસપી નીલમ ગૌસ્વામીએ જણાવ્યું હતું કે પ્રફુલ પર 2017 થી 2022 સુધીમાં કમલાબાગ અને કિર્તીમંદિર પોલીસ મથકમાં મારામારી, એટ્રોસિટી એકટ સહિતના ચાર ગુન્હા નોંધાયા છે. જેમાં, પાલિકાના ચીફ ઓફિસરની ફરજમાં રુકાવટ અંગે પણ અગાઉ પોલીસ ફરિયાદ નોંધાઈ હતી.

Nuclear escalation, a sense of victory: Why Putin annexed 15% of Ukrainian territory?

NEW DELHI: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed decrees to declare four Ukrainian territories as part of Russia through a widely denounced “illegal annexation”.
“People who live in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are becoming our citizens — forever,” Putin said at the chandeliered St George’s Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace — the same place where he declared in March 2014 that the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea was part of Russia.
The move to annex the territories, which make up nearly 15% of Ukraine, comes at a time when Russia almost had its back against the wall and is expected to change the course of the 7-month-long war.
For Putin, it could help legitimize his nuclear threats and offer a sense of victory which eluded him since the beginning of the invasion. But some Ukrainians living in the region have started to fear the worst.
Here’s why Putin annexed the 4 Ukrainian regions & what it means for the war:
Nuclear threats
The annexation of the 4 regions adds a degree of legitimacy to Putin’s nuclear threats, which were earlier denounced by Western experts as brinkmanship.
During the ceremony to officially announce the annexation, Putin chillingly vowed to protect the newly annexed regions by “all available means.”
Though he did not drop any fresh nuclear warnings, Putin also said that US had set a precedent when it had dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
The message was painfully clear: any attack on the newly annexed regions would be construed as an attack on Russia. This would give Putin enough reasons to use any means available in Russia’s vast arsenal, including nuclear weapons. Just like he said.
Even earlier, Putin had said that his nuclear threat was not a bluff.
His top associate, Dmitry Medvedev, said earlier this week that Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine if Kyiv threatens Russian statehood.
Experts feel that signals the onset of a “new and highly dangerous phase” in the war, one that Western officials and analysts fear could escalate to the use of nuclear weapons for the first time in 77 years.

Diversionary move?
Even as Putin was proudly proclaiming the annexed territories on Friday, Russian forces in one of the four regions were on the brink of being encircled by Ukrainian troops.
On Saturday, Ukrainian troops entered the city of Lyman and claimed that they have surrounded thousands of Russian soldiers. This only shows how tenuous Russia’s grip is on some of the territories it is claiming.
In the last few weeks, Ukraine managed to claw back large swathes of its territory and triggered a Russian retreat with the help of advanced weapons supplied by the West.

Against this backdrop, a pomp-filled Kremlin ceremony and promises that Moscow would triumph in its “special military operation” help Putin divert attention from the possibility of facing a potentially serious military reversal.
Former Kremlin speechwriter-turned-political analyst Abbas Gallyamov linked Russia’s reversals in the war with the annexation push.
“It looks like an attempt to respond somehow, and it looks quite pathetic. Ukrainians are doing something, taking steps in the real material world, while the Kremlin is building some kind of virtual reality, incapable of responding in the real world,” he said.
A victory of sorts
“Victory will be ours,” President Putin said on Friday as thousands of Russians gathered on Moscow’s Red Square to celebrate the annexation.
“Russia not only opens the doors of her home to these people, she opens her heart. Welcome home!” he said, prompting chants of “Russia! Russia!” from the flag-waving crowd in the vast square.
Friday’s show and tell by Russia was clearly dominated by the theme of victory. That’s because victory is exactly what has eluded Putin in the last 7 months.
What was supposed to be a swift capture of Kyiv turned into a long-drawn-out battle that has been going on for 7 months with both the countries exhausting their manpower as well as resources.
Far from capturing Kyiv, Russia found itself facing stiff resistance from the Ukrainian troops who were bolstered by a sense of nationalism and a constant supply of Western arms.
Since Putin was left with no choice after his February 22 invasion, he had to recalibrate his war goals to focus on the eastern Ukrainian region where the referendums took place last month.
Thus, the formal annexation of the 4 territories has given Putin a sense of accomplishment that he desperately needed these past few weeks.
If not a complete takeover, Putin would be happy to accept 15% of the country’s territory. But whether or not Russia managed to hold out in the face of a tough Ukrainian advance remains to be seen.
Pitting Ukrainians against Ukrainians
The annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia has opened up the possibility for Putin to call for conscription.
According to reports, Ukrainian authorities believe that Russia will try to mobilise young men in the occupied areas to fight against Ukraine.
This has already happened in parts of eastern Ukraine under Russian control since 2014, particularly Crimea.
Russian soldiers have told dozens of men aged 18 to 35 that there is a ban on letting them leave, according to older men who have successfully crossed, as well as two NGOs involved in helping people evacuate and local Telegram groups, the Guardian reported.
Earlier, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy told citizens in the occupied territories to hide from mobilisation by “any means”.
Russia, on the other hand, might consider a call-up in the occupied region, especially after the mobilization scare triggered by Putin’s speech last week.
Over 194,000 Russian citizens have already fled to neighboring Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland — most often by car, bicycle or on foot — since Putin announced a partial mobilization of reservists.
In Russia, the vast majority of men under age 65 are registered as reservists.

30 Students Fall Ill After Eating 'Contaminated' Hostel Food In Rajasthan's Kota

The students were rushed to a nearby private hospital. (Representational)

Kota:

At least 30 girl students were taken ill after eating the food served at their hostel here with one of them claiming she had noticed a lizard in the curry, with officials saying a probe had been ordered.

The incident, which occurred in Jawahar Nagar police station limits, came to light when around 30 students complained about vomiting and dizziness after eating the food on Thursday night. One of the girls claimed that she had noticed a lizard in the curry, which was then removed from the kitchen.

The students were rushed to a nearby private hospital where one girl was admitted while the others were provided primary treatment.

The incident occurred around 8 pm and Chief Medical Health Officer (CMHO) Jagdish Soni was immediately informed. However, he saw the WhatsApp message at 10.30 pm.

By that time, the food had been thrown out without samples being collected for examination and the other students had been given freshly cooked food, Soni told PTI.

A medical team visited the hostel on Friday and screened the 30 girls. Two of the girls who had vomited were cleared while the student who was discharged from hospital was advised admission for observation, Soni added.

He added that the food safety team collected samples of raw food items and water from the hostel on Friday and a probe was underway.

Won't go deep into medical reports, will wait for official confirmation: Rahul Dravid on Jasprit Bumrah | Cricket News

GUWAHATI: Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss the T20 World Cup due to an injury but head coach Rahul Dravid on Saturday said he won’t go deep into his medical reports and will wait for an official confirmation regarding his availability for the showpiece in Australia.
India suffered a big setback when their pace spearhead Bumrah was ruled out of their final preparatory series against South Africa due to stress fracture in his lower back.
“We are awaiting the official confirmation on the next steps. As of now, he’s officially ruled out of this (SA) series. But we will see what happens over the next few days,” Dravid told reporters on the eve of the second T20I against South Africa.

Usually a stress fracture in the back takes about six months to heal completely but Dravid said they are still “hopeful”.
“Honestly, I’ve not gone deeply into the medical reports, I rely on the experts to tell me what it is. They ruled him out for this series and he’s being assessed. We will know in due course what happens in the future,” the 49-year-old said.
“Obviously till he’s completely ruled out, and we get an official confirmation that he’s ruled out, we will always be hopeful. We will always hope for the best just for us as a team and Jasprit as an individual.”

Bumrah, who has been out of action since the India tour of England in July, had recently made a comeback during the home T20I series against Australia but the 28-year-old has been forced to head back to the National Cricket Academy for rehab again.
Bumrah’s spate of injuries, despite his workload being carefully looked after by the think-tank, has become a matter of debate.
Bumrah played all the 14 IPL matches for his franchise Mumbai Indians and since then he only featured in six Internationals in four months.

Doing rehab at the NCA, Bumrah made a comeback in the preceding Australia series where he played two matches and travelled with the team to Thiruvananthapuram for the 1st T20I against South Africa only to be ruled out ahead of the game.
“To a large extent we manage to get everything. Not everything will be perfect. It happens, it’s part and parcel of the game, we are not the only team which suffers from injuries.
“Obviously if they happen closer to big tournaments they can upset your plans a little bit. Everyone is making good efforts to minimise the injuries as much as possible,” Dravid defended their workload management.
The workload management and their experiments in the build-up to the World Cup may have come in for a lot of criticism but Dravid chose to keep away from the “noise”.

“I know there is a little bit of noise from the outside but in the group, communication has been very good and there’s clarity. It’s a bit unrealistic to expect us to keep playing the same guys over and over again, sometimes they are forced upon you — like Bumrah.
“We played the same XI against South Africa in June if you remember, and people kept saying why don’t they change. But in the group we’re very sure of what we are doing.
“Sometimes, there are a lot of things people won’t know from outside, what are the niggles, how we are going to manage, how we are preparing for a Test when there’s a series in Ireland. It’s hard to just explain.”
There has been a lot of debate on who is going to replace Bumrah if he is officially ruled out as only two weeks are left for their World Cup warm-up fixture against Australia.

But Dravid said they are in their comfort zone, having got all the skill sets for different conditions and rival sides in Australia.
“We are quite comfortable that we have got all the skills that allow us to play different combinations and different kinds of XIs based on the wickets and oppositions. That’s really important in a World cup when you play in 4-5 different venues.
“You need to have that little bit of versatility and flexibility in your squad that allows you to change things.
“Over the last few series, we probably have not been able to play that squad due to a variety of reasons. But most of the guys in the 15 now have had a pretty decent amount of cricket in the last six months.”
Dravid said they have absolute clarity on the roles assigned to each of the players in the World Cup-bound squad.
“Within the group, within the team, we have been pretty clear about the kind of combinations we want, the kind of players that we are likely to play in the XI. You can’t pick an XI months in advance, you don’t know the wicket, and what it’s like.
“We have been pretty clear about the skills we want in the 15. For me, that is really important. The kind of squad we pick to the World cup, barring injuries, what were the skills that we are looking for, different kinds of bowlers, certain batting skills, we have been very clear about.”

Happy with Harshal progress
Having returned to action after overcoming a rib injury, death overs specialist Harshal Patel has leaked runs in the series against Australia.
But Dravid was happy with his progress.
“We’re very happy with the way he’s progressing. He bowled a phenomenal last over against Australia in Hyderabad. The more and more games he plays, the better for him. He’s really a mentally strong cricketer,” he said.
“He has been phenomenal for the franchise he plays in, even in international cricket he has played some good spells. He’s preparing really well, he’s practising really hard.”

The culprit lured the minor girl and took her to Indore, where he repeatedly raped her for two days

A court here on Saturday sentenced a 34-year-old man to life imprisonment for abducting and raping the 16-year-old daughter of his landlord two years ago. Judge Deepak Dubey convicted Nepu alias Sajid (34) under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for the crime that occurred in August 2020, Public Prosecutor Lalit Kumar Sharma said. The POCSO court also imposed a fine of Rs 85000 on the convict, he said.

The culprit’s wife had died and he along with his four-year-old son lived in rented accommodation. The landlord’s minor daughter, a class nine student, would frequently visit his room to play with this son, Sharma said. The culprit lured the minor girl and took her to Indore, where he repeatedly raped her for two days, he alleged. The girl’s mother lodged a complaint on August 17, 2020 after which the police rescued the minor from Indore.

Based on her statement, the police incorporated sections of rape under IPC and POCSO Act in the FIR against the accused and arrested him. However, he was later released on bail, the public prosecutor said. The judgement was to be pronounced on Friday but the accused fled from the court premises after the lunch hour following which the judge issued an arrest warrant against him.

The police nabbed the culprit from the railway station area hours later and produced him before the judge on Saturday.
