Minor raped by 3 men over 3 days in Gurugram, Delhi

GURUGRAM, 2019 AUG 09 [TOI] – A 14-year-old girl who came to the city from Meghalaya last week, believing the man escorting her all the way from home would enroll her with a placement agency, was allegedly raped repeatedly by three men over three days and molested by another. The teenager was held captive by the men who kept moving her from one location to another, shuttling Delhi and Gurugram

She was allegedly raped in Chauma village and Sector 39 in Gurugram, and at an unknown place in Delhi before being rescued from Chauma by two people from Meghalaya on August 6. She was taken to Meghalaya House in Delhi.

The three men accused of rape are Lokesh, Bhupender and an unidentified relative of Lokesh. The man accused of molestation has been identified as Omprakash Singh.

With the intervention of a parliamentarian from the northeast, a case was registered against the four men under sections 6 (penetrative sexual assault) and 8 (aggravated sexual assault) of the Pocso Act and Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC at the Rajendra Park police station on Thursday.

Bhupender, Omprakash and a woman named Ritu, who has also been booked for criminal conspiracy, have been arrested and will be produced before court on Friday. Police spokesperson Subhash Boken said more arrests are likely soon.

Since the teenager has no knowledge of Hindi and English, a senior police officer posted in Meghalaya House acted as interpreter to record her statement.

According to police, the girl started her journey from her home in Meghalaya’s East Garo Hills district on July 30. She was accompanied by Aman alias Chottu, who runs a placement agency that provides maids and nursing assistants. The two reached Gurugram on August 2 and the minor was taken to a house in Rajendra Park where Aman, his brother Lokesh and a few others lived.

The girl’s ordeal began the next day on August 3 when, finding her alone at home, Lokesh alias Lambu molested her. In the evening, he took her to the house of his friend Ritu in Chauma.

On August 4, the minor was allegedly forced to drink liquor and was raped by Lokesh. The following day, on August 5, she was taken to a placement office in Sector 39 by Ritu. The office belongs to Bhupender, a resident of Royal Court. 

The minor was again forced to drink alcohol and raped by Bhupender. Thereafter, Bhupender’s friend Omprakash, who is a resident of Palam Vihar, also reached the office and molested the girl. In the evening, she was brought back to Ritu’s place.

On August 6, Lokesh took the girl to a house in Delhi, where she was again raped by a person whose identity has not yet been established. The teenager said in her complaint the house belonged to Lokesh’s cousin. The girl, who was drowsy under the influence of alcohol, fell down the stairs, following which Lokesh rushed to the spot and took her back to Ritu’s house in Chauma.

There, the girl managed to contact a person from Meghalaya whom she had met at the house in Rajendra Park on the day of her arrival. The following day, she was about to be shifted to another place when Salman Sangma and Gelsing Marak rescued her and brought her back to Rajendra Park. They then approached Meghalaya House.

Salman and Gelsing told police that after receiving her call, they had pressured Lokesh’s girlfriend for the girl’s location. “They took the girl to Meghalaya House where officials and a leader from the northeast came forward to help and Delhi Police was informed,” a senior Gurugram police officer said.

Aman, who brought the girl to Gurugram, has not been arrested yet.

Better Services Act to roll out from April 2013 in Assam

Guwahati, Dec. 5: Dispur will be rolling out the Assam Right to Public Services Act, 2012, which was passed in the last budget session, from April next year.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting chaired by chief minister Tarun Gogoi before leaving for Calcutta on his way to Ho Chi Minh city on Monday.

Rajiv Kumar Bora, principal secretary of personnel, administrative reforms and training and IT, who is co-ordinating the efforts for the smooth launch of the services, told The Telegraph this evening that 47 services covering 13 departments have been identified for the launch from Bohag Bihu.

"More services will be added in subsequent phases. Administrative reforms are a key focus area of the government and almost everything is in place for a smooth roll out.

The whole idea is to ensure government services within a stipulated timeframe. Officials not meeting the deadline despite everything being in order from the applicants' side will be penalised," Bora said.

Sources said the government has been gearing up the departments involved in the roll out since April. The act was notified in May and the rules governing it were passed in October.

They also said the administrative reforms department was ready for the rollout from January but for the ensuing panchayat elections, which is likely to be held between January-February.

The public faces a lot of trouble in availing these services and in most cases they have to bribe their way to get the work done in time, the sources said.

The services, proposed, to be notified initially include land holding certificate, certified copy of jamabandi, land valuation certificate, certified copy of mutation order, land partition, duplicate marksheet, duplicate pass certificate, migration certificate, valuation certificate of animal/bird for insurance.

Other services include birth and death certificates, building construction permission, trade licence, municipal holding certificate/holding mutation, driving licence and a host of other essential public services.
