Between 2003 and 2017, he was booked in eight cases, including theft and sexual assault.

14-Year-Old Raped, Killed By Cousin Hours After Tying Rakhi To Him, Body Found Hanging
33-year-old man raped and murdered his minor cousin after she tied Rakhi on his wrist. He staged it as suicide, but police found evidence. Rakshabandhan, a festival where a brother promises to protect his sister, was shamed after a cousin allegedly raped and murdered his minor sister hours after she tied Rakhi on his wrist. The disturbing news was reported from Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya. As per the police, after killing the girl, he hung her body from a noose to make it look like suicide. As per a report by NDTV, after celebrating Rakshabandhan on Saturday, 33-year-old Surjeet went back to his home upon consuming a lot of alcohol. He raped the girl while she was asleep and then killed her. As per the police, the girl's father was asleep in the next room but couldn't hear anything. The girl's body was found hanging the next day. After the gruesome killing, Surjeet started misleading the investigation. Police got suspicious when he did not let any other family member answer the questions. As the police reached the murder spot, they were sure it was not a suicide case because there were bloodstains in several places. Her body was sent for a post-mortem, which confirmed rape. NDTV further reported that Surjeet was held and he confessed to the crime during interrogation. PTI report, the police have arrested the 29-year-old relative, the husband of the class 10 student's paternal aunt, under various sections of the BNS and POCSO Act. The police further said, the accused was remanded to judicial custody after a local court rejected his bail application. Police also detained four other accused who also video recorded the rape. As per the girl's complaint, the relative visited their residence on Raksha Bandhan on August 9, and took her to a deserted place where she was gang-raped.

Gurugram: Tyre burst on SPR kills 22-year-old, critically injures another
A 22-year-old man died and his 23-year-old friend was critically injured after the car they were travelling in overturned multiple times following a tyre burst on Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) near Tulip Chowk early Tuesday, police said. Both victims were rushed to Sector 10A civil hospital without waiting for ambulances due to their critical condition (Getty Images/iStockphoto) According to police, the accident took place between 12 and 12.15am on Tuesday when the deceased, identified as Vikas, and his childhood friend Sachin were on their way to their homes in Mohammadpur Jharsa, Sector 36, from Faridabad. Police said Sachin, who was driving a Maruti Suzuki Swift, is in critical condition and on ventilator support at a private hospital in Sector 38. 'It was Sachin who was behind the wheel… He was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Sector 38. He was on ventilator support,' said Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer (PRO) of Gurugram police. According to investigators, Sachin had gone to Faridabad on Sunday to drop his sister at her in-laws' house after she visited her parental home for Raksha Bandhan. Vikas had accompanied him. The duo were returning late Monday night when one of the tyres of their car exploded, causing the vehicle to veer violently off course. Sachin lost control, and the car overturned several times before hitting a roadside iron pole, police added. Commuters alerted the police control room, and two emergency response vehicles reached the spot. Both victims were rushed to Sector 10A civil hospital without waiting for ambulances due to their critical condition. Doctors declared Vikas dead on arrival and referred Sachin to a higher centre for advanced treatment. The PRO said no foul play was suspected by the families. An inquiry under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was initiated based on the statement of Vikas's family at Bilaspur police station. His body was handed over to the family after an autopsy on Tuesday.
