Nursing student found dead in Singur
2
Singur/Kalyani: Tension prevailed in Serampore and Singur following the unnatural death of nursing student Dipali Jana, aged 24, inside a room of a nursing home in Singur late on Thursday night.
The nursing home authority informed Singur PS that the girl came from Nandigram for an internship certificate in nursing. Cops suspect that a quarrel with her boyfriend led to the suicide. On Saturday noon, Singur police arrested the nursing home owner and the boyfriend of the student on an abetment charge.
The Singur police recovered the hanging body from the room, which was locked from the inside, on Thursday. Cops sent the body to Serampore Walls Hospital for an autopsy.
However, after the situation turned politically volatile when BJP and CPM workers joined to support the parents, Sukumar and Maya, in their allegation that someone killed their daughter, the hospital officials sent the body to Medical College and Hospital.
In Kolkata on Friday, the Left and BJP supporters got engaged in a verbal duel over where to hold the postmortem. Later, the parents demanded a postmortem in a central govt-owned hospital, prompting the Hooghly Rural Police to send the body to AIIMS in

Maya said: "My daughter can't end her life. She told me she was not ready to get married yet. She was eager to work. I demand a CBI inquiry."
Police said: "Primary probe revealed that the relationship with the boyfriend forced the situation."

Dharmasthala secret burials case: Karnataka govt likely to table response in Legislative Assembly tomorrow
With the opposition BJP mounting pressure on the Karnataka government over the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the Dharmasthala secret burials case, the state government is expected to table a response on the matter in the Legislative Assembly on Monday. The response has also gained significance following the remarks made by Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, who has described the case to be a 'big conspiracy' to tarnish the reputation of the temple town. By these remarks, Shivakumar lent his voice to the allegations made by BJP legislators regarding the case over the past week. On Sunday, a delegation of around 20 legislators under BJP state president B Y Vijayendra visited Dharmasthala and demanded an apology from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for failing to curb the 'misinformation campaign' targeting the temple town. This was in reference to the social media posts by some groups about the alleged crimes that took place around Dharmasthala. The delegation met Rajya Sabha MP Dr Veerendra Heggade, who is also the Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala. Vijayendra criticised the government for failing to act against those making false allegations against Dharmasthala. On the remarks by Shivakumar, he urged him to 'immediately disclose information about those behind the conspiracy against Dharmasthala,' if the deputy CM was truly a devotee of the Sri Manjunatheshwara Temple located in the town. Last week, the BJP had demanded that the state government table an interim report on the investigation carried out by SIT. On Thursday, during a discussion on the case at the Legislative Assembly, BJP MLA Sunil Kumar had contended that Left groups were carrying out a smear campaign against Dharmasthala and other Hindu places of worship. The exhumation carried out near the town, he said, would eventually 'shake the government'. 'The entire Cabinet should go to Dharmasthala and apologise,' he added. The probe is based on a complaint filed by a whistleblower, who has alleged that he was forced to bury several bodies between 1998 and 2014. After exhuming multiple locations since July 29, the SIT is said to have found two skeletons.

Homemaker gets bail in daughter's kidnapping case in Mumbai
Mumbai: Considering the fact that the accused was deprived of her 7-year-old daughter who is in a children's home as she and her husband have been in jail for three years, a sessions court recently granted bail to the 38-year-old homemaker accused of kidnapping a 7-year-old girl in 2013. The girl was rescued and reunited with her parents nine years later in 2022. However, with the victim now untraceable, the trial in the case has been stalled and the accused Venkatamma alias Sony D'souza and Harry D'Souza, have been incarcerated for three years. "The accused is woman and mother of a 7-year-old. She is deprived of the company of the child as she is behind the bars for the last 3 years without the trial. Considering the long incarceration, it would be just and proper to release the accused on bail on certain conditions," Additional Sessions Judge Ashwini D Lokhande said. The judge also considered the well-being of the accused's 7-year-old daughter who has been in a children's home without the "warmth of her natural guardian" for three years. The judge also noted that the accused have been behind bars since last the last three years and not a single witness has been examined so far. While the girl in her police statement had alleged that the accused had made her work as a domestic help and babysitter and snatched from her the money she made. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The judge noted that on perusal of the charge-sheet, prima facie, it seems that the accused enrolled the victim in the school. "As per prosecution case, the victim stayed for 10 years with the accused. They enrolled her in a school. Then she continued her schooling there."

DN Nagar police station registered the case following a complaint from the victim's mother. The mother reported that her 7-year-old daughter disappeared on Jan 22, 2013, after leaving for school. A missing person's complaint was lodged, but the girl couldn't be found. Nearly a decade later, on Aug 3, 2022, a neighbour received a video call from a woman who showed a girl who resembled the missing child. The neighbour identified the girl as the complainant's daughter and informed her of the girl's location. The victim was found at the specified location. According to the victim's statement, she was forcibly taken by two accused in 2013 under the pretext of giving her ice cream. They took her to Hajimalang, where they stayed for three days, then to Goa for 23 months, and then to Vile Parle for four months. They returned to Goa and later admitted her to a school in Karnataka for a year. From 2015 to 2020, they allegedly confined her in a house in Mumbai, not allowing her to leave. The victim claimed she was physically and mentally harassed, beaten, and forced to do household work and babysitting. The accused reportedly took the money she earned. The bail plea filed by the accused's lawyer, Nitin Hajare, said that despite the charge sheet being filed in 2022 and charges being framed on Jan 24, 2024, the prosecution had not examined a single witness. A police report from April 24 stated that the victim was not traceable. The defence also contended that sections of the IPC concerning trafficking were not applicable, as only one child was involved and the victim was admitted to a school. Hajare also submitted on the accused's situation as a woman and mother of a 7-year-old daughter who is currently in an orphanage. The court granted bail subject to several conditions, including reporting to DN Nagar Police Station when called. Any breach of conditions could lead to cancellation of bail.
