Toddler in Lko abducted while sleeping with parents, raped; culprit at large
A two-and-a-half-year-old girl was allegedly raped near the Alambagh Metro station in Lucknow, one of the busiest zones at due to the presence of the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT). The victim, a daughter of pavement dwellers from Unnao, was picked up while she was sleeping next to her father and mother on the roadside early Thursday morning, police said. The accused is still absconding, and police teams have been formed to trace him. The child was found in a severely injured state, abandoned around 500 metres from the spot. Her cries were heard by a differently-abled man, who alerted her ragpicker parents. They were already searching for her after discovering her missing around 4 am. Notably, this incident occurred close to the site where a woman from Ayodhya was abducted and murdered after a failed sexual assault attempt by an e-rickshaw driver and his brother earlier in March. That case had also raised concerns about women's safety in the city. Doctors at King George's Medical University (KGMU) trauma centre said that the minor sustained grievous injuries to her private parts and requires urgent surgery. Her condition remains critical. Dr Rajiv Dixit, medical superintendent of Rajnarayan Lokbandhu Hospital, said the girl was first brought to their hospital at around 7:30 am. 'She was in pain and was immediately shifted to the emergency ICU. A team of specialists, including a gynaecologist, paediatrician, and surgeon, conducted initial assessments. Due to the severity of her condition, she was referred to KGMU by noon,' he added. Deputy commissioner of police (Central), Ashish Srivastava, confirmed that a first information report (FIR) was lodged at Alambagh police station, a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and POCSO sections 5(h) and 6 was registered. 'The family initially took the child to Lok Bandhu Hospital, where doctors confirmed rape and informed the One Stop Centre. Subsequently, the police were notified,' Srivastava said. 'Five police teams have been formed to track down the accused. Senior officials are monitoring the investigation on the ground,' he added. Archana Singh, in-charge of the One Stop Centre in Lucknow, said, 'As soon as our unit received the call from Lok Bandhu hospital, we rushed to the child and found her profusely bleeding with grave injuries to her lower body. One team went with the family to KGMU, while another accompanied the father to the police station to lodge the complaint.' The victim's father recounted that the family had eaten their dinner and settled on the roadside to sleep. 'We didn't even realise when she was taken. An elderly man informed us early in the morning about our child crying nearby,' he said. As per the FIR, the incident is suspected to have occurred between 2:30 am and 3 am. The location, a high-traffic zone near ISBT and the Metro bridge, has once again raised questions over Lucknow Police's claims of effective night patrolling. Madhu Garg of the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) said, 'What can anyone say about this? People often blame women's clothing, but what was this two-and-a-half-year-old wearing to provoke such a crime? Crimes against minors are increasing while fear among criminals is vanishing.'

Want lower blood pressure and stronger legs? Japanese walking might be the simple daily fix you need
Could a simple change in your walking style be the key to improved health? A growing number of physicians and researchers believe so. " Japanese walking ," a method developed nearly two decades ago, is now being praised for its numerous benefits, including lower blood pressure , increased muscle strength , and better mental health. What is Japanese Walking? " Interval walking training ," which is currently referred to as "Japanese walking, a straightforward regimen that alternates between slow and fast walking, was created by Japanese researchers almost 20 years ago. How can you practice Japanese Walking? You can practice Japanese walking in this way: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Walk quickly for three minutes (roughly 70% of your maximum aerobic capacity) followed by walking slowly for three minutes (roughly 40% of your maximum aerobic capacity). For a total of 30 minutes each session, repeat the cycle, as per a report by Very Well Health. Why are three minutes required for the intervals? Researchers used three-minute intervals in the original study because older participants started to feel fatigued after that. Live Events If you couldn't initially handle three-minute intervals, you would probably still see some improvement with shorter ones. Starting with three minutes of regular walking, followed by one minute of brisk walking, and extending the duration of the brisk walking interval as your fitness increases would be entirely reasonable. Who benefits the most from this Japanese walking method? The most suitable individuals for Japanese walking are those who feel bored or stuck with your daily walking schedule. People who are striving to reverse insulin resistance, early metabolic syndrome, or have mild joint issues can benefit from this. This low-impact exercise is ideal for older adults or beginners because it is simple to start, requires no equipment, and may provide long-term cardiovascular and metabolic benefits. Children's National Hospital physical therapist Kevin McGuinness said, "This is a useful strategy for people who can't tolerate activities like running or hiking due to injury, weakness, or balance issues." ALSO READ: Jon Stewart's savage necklace joke goes viral as Karoline Leavitt reportedly ditches the bling in response What are the health benefits of Japanese walking? Anahita Kalianivala, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Reno, Nevada, believes that strategies such as interval walking can be surprisingly effective in re-training the nervous system to tolerate exercise. She explains that a common technique for managing chronic pain in cognitive behavioral therapy is time-based activity pacing, which helps the body and brain associate activity with safety and the ability to continue rather than danger and the need to crash, as quoted in a report. The exercise has been demonstrated to increase VO2max, decrease blood pressure, and aid in blood sugar regulation. Interval walking was found to increase peak aerobic capacity, thigh muscle strength, and blood pressure. Is Japanese walking easier and better than regular walking? • Interval walking is an effective way to improve long-term health, particularly for middle-aged and older adults. • It consists of alternating short periods of brisk walking and slower-paced recovery, which dynamically engages the cardiovascular system. • Interval walking is simple to learn, requires no special equipment or gym access, and causes metabolic changes. Can shorter intervals still help? If you would like to try Japanese walking, you could ease yourself into the routine by beginning with shorter bursts of brisk walking than the three-minute intervals used in it. FAQs Is Japanese walking better than regular walking? Yes, alternating speeds gives your heart and muscles a better workout while reducing strain. Can I practice Japanese walking if I am out of shape? You can begin with shorter intervals and progress gradually.
