Be it first or fourth, girl child victim of social prejudice: Probe
Ahmedabad: Whether it is the first pregnancy or the fourth, the girl child continues to be rejected. This was the harsh reality exposed by Ahmedabad rural police after they busted a racket involving home-based sex determination and illegal abortions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In one case, a woman aborted her first pregnancy solely because it was a girl. Another woman, a paramedic, chose to have an abortion when she was pregnant with her third daughter. A 22-year-old woman, already a mother of four girls, terminated her fifth pregnancy after learning it was another girl. "This case shows that all these abortions were driven by negative attitudes toward the girl child," said a senior officer of Ahmedabad rural police. "Some of these women are professionals, others are housewives, but all acted under family pressure, especially from husbands and in-laws." On May 27, police arrested nurse Hemlata Darji and radiologist Harshad Acharya, who allegedly carried out sex determination tests and abortions for Rs 15,000. Police said Acharya performed tests at his Odhav clinic, while Darji carried out the abortions at homes or a Bavla guesthouse. "These were not random acts but part of a planned service. The accused selected clients carefully, mostly through referrals," the officer said. "The clients didn't even visit the clinics. Blood samples were picked up by a lab courier, and abortions were done at home." Officers said that the nurse was well-networked and would offer her help in getting rid of a female fetus. Police found that 25 tests were conducted after which eight female fetuses were aborted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Another police officer said that five people, including Acharya, Darji, a guesthouse owner, a woman who underwent abortion, and her sister-in-law, were arrested in the case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act charges.

Pre-arrest bail denied to man booked for ‘sharing objectionable post' against Maharashtra CM
The sessions court in Mumbai rejected anticipatory bail application of a Pune resident booked for allegedly sharing an objectionable post against Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, noting that no case was made out for pre-arrest bail considering the nature of offence against him. Additional sessions judge Prashant C Kale on June 21 passed an order on an application by city resident Santosh Ramchandra Darekar, apprehending arrest in connection with the FIR registered by Cyber Cell, nodal office. The FIR was registered for offences punishable under sections 197(1)(c) (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration) and 353(2) (public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 (BNS) along with Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. As per the prosecution, the complaint was registered by BJP leader Yojna Virendra Thokle alleging that Darekar shared an objectionable post on Facebook against Fadnavis on May 23. However, the applicant argued that he was falsely implicated in the case. He added that while the notice under section 35(3) of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was sent to the applicant, he could not remain present before the investigating officer due to the illness of his mother. The applicant argued that he was not having any criminal antecedents and was ready to cooperate with the investigating agency and would abide by all the conditions if he was granted anticipatory bail. The prosecution opposed the plea stating that Darekar had prima facie committed the offence and his mobile was required to be seized to conduct its technical analysis, and therefore he should not be granted pre-arrest bail. The court noted that the probe was in progress and there was a 'prima facie case against the accused and that can not be ignored or overlooked'. Rejecting his plea, the court added that Darekar has not complied with notice issued to him and 'the grounds for refusal of anticipatory bail put forth by the investigating agency are apparently genuine'.

Ex-boyfriend turns stalker, arrested for molestation
Nagpur: A 30-year-old man has been arrested and remanded in judicial custody for allegedly stalking and molesting a former acquaintance after their relationship soured. The accused, identified as Jitendra alias Vicky Ramashankar Chaudhary, a resident of Babulban, Garoba Maidan in Lakadganj, was arrested by Lakadganj police following a complaint filed by a 26-year-old woman. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to police, the woman, who resides within Wathoda Police Station limits, had earlier developed a friendship with the accused due to work-related reasons. However, after noticing signs of mistrust and controlling behaviour, she ended all contact with him. On the evening of June 21, while returning home from her job near Shahpur Chowk, the complainant was allegedly followed by Jitendra, who approached her on a two-wheeler. He confronted her about avoiding him and, when she attempted to leave, allegedly abused her, slapped her, and made obscene remarks, leaving her deeply shaken. The woman approached the police the same day and filed a formal complaint. Acting swiftly, Lakadganj police arrested the accused and booked him under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Sections 74, 75, 78, 115, 296, 351(3), and 352, which pertain to offences such as molestation, stalking, and criminal intimidation. Officials confirmed that the accused has been sent to judicial custody.
