71-yr-old's hit-and-run turns out to be case of murder in Kerala; four arrested
KALPETTA: Beeyumma was believed to have died in a hit-and-run. Now, residents of Meppadi are in shock from fresh revelations that a road-rage incident over a scooter overtaking a four-wheeler led to the murder of the 71-year-old. While relatives, locals, and even police were convinced that the Nellimunda ward resident had died in a road accident, later revelations by Beeyumma's grandson, 19-year-old Aflah, who was severely injured in the incident, on June 8, proved a turning point in the case. Based on further investigations, which also relied on CCTV footage, and the statements of eyewitnesses, including Aflah, Aramanganam, Kasaragod natives Akhil Kallingal, 26, Prashanth Puthiyavalappu, 21, Nidhi Pachillankara, 20, and Nithin Narayanan, 22, and a 17-year-old minor boy were slapped with murder charges, five days after the incident. Four of them were arrested on Friday, while the minor will be presented before the Juvenile Justice Board on Saturday. 'We thought it was a hit-and run accident. Beeyumma died on the spot. When Aflah, who was severely injured and undergoing treatment in hospital, regained consciousness he muttered, 'They hit us deliberately,'' said Shihab C, a Nellimunda resident and relative of Beeyumma. The youngsters from Kasaragod were on their way to Chooralmala in a Bolero -- under the influence of alcohol -- after attending the Kottiyoor temple festival. Beeyumma and Aflah were also proceeding to Chooralmala on a scooter. They entered the main road from Mappilathottam and overtook the Bolero, which led to a verbal argument between occupants of both vehicles. In a fit of rage, the youths chased the scooter and rammed it from behind. Meppadi police SHO A U Jayaprakash said Beeyumma died after being run over by the Bolero, while Aflah was deliberately dragged some distance by the four-wheeler. 'Akhil, who was driving the vehicle, was arrested on the day of the accident. But he was charged under Section 304A of BNS (causing death by negligence). Akhil was drunk at the time of the crime. Later, after an investigation, we found that it was a case of murder with others in the Bolero also involved. They were also arrested,' said Jayaprakash. 'There were five bottles of beer and other liquor bottles in the Bolero. All of the passengers in the vehicle are equally guilty. If any one of them had tried to restrain Akhil, who was driving the vehicle, Beeyumma and Aflah would not have suffered this fate,' added Shihab.

Rave Party Busted On Outskirts, 8 Sex Workers Rescued
Nagpur: A rave party was busted by a team from the Khapa police station of Nagpur rural at Temburdoh Resort at Saoner in the early hours of Thursday. Eight sex workers were rescued from the venue, while police, under sub-divisional police officer Anil Mhaske, arrested four individuals and seized materials worth more than Rs30 lakh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sources said that resorts in the remote outskirts of Nagpur often turn into dens of flesh trade, with pimps bringing women from the city to these places to service clients at rave parties. Nagpur rural SP Harssh Poddar had conducted several raids in the past to bust the flesh trade rackets flourishing in shady hotels and resorts. "The business of some hotels and resorts is solely dependent upon flesh trade in the rural district," said an insider source. "We had information about drugs, a sex racket, and a dance party at the venue. Though narcotics were not found, the rest of the information was found true," said Mhaske, an IPS officer, adding that condoms and other materials were also seized from the location of the raid. The team, led by police inspector Vishal Giri of Khapa police station, arrested resort owner Vishal Ingole (39), along with Amit Apreja, builder Sanjay Dhapodkar, and Sachin Patil. Police said these individuals were allegedly involved in orchestrating the illegal prostitution activities, luring victims to the resort using a Ford car and exploiting them. The car too was seized. During the raid, police discovered eight female victims in the resort rooms, who were rescued. Upon questioning, the victim women revealed that the accused, including one female accomplice, facilitated their exploitation, with payments made in exchange for services. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Additionally, five other individuals — Manish Deshmukh (41), Nitin Kokarde (37), Dilip Shahu (34), Vinod Mohje (49), and Kisan Yesne (30) — were found at the scene and were identified as the customers. The police also seized Rs15,000 in cash during the raid. A case was registered against the ten accused under relevant sections of the Immoral Trafficking of Women and Girls (Prevention) Act, among others. The rescued women are receiving support, and further investigations are underway to uncover additional links to the racket.

Five try to strangle co-inmate at Yerawada observation home
Pune: The Yerawada police on Wednesday registered a case against five juveniles, aged 14-17, residing at the Jawaharlal Nehru observation home for allegedly attempting to strangle a 17-year-old fellow inmate on Tuesday morning after he asked them to clean the toilet. Officer in charge of the observation home Santosh Kumbhar stated in his complaint that the assailants kicked and punched the victim before tearing a towel and using it to strangle him. Senior inspector Ravindra Shelke said, "All the five inmates, charged with attempted murder, were detained for cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and body offences. The victim too is involved in a case of body offence. They have been staying in the observation home for almost six months." He said, "The victim would order inmates to clean the toilets, which he used regularly. He would get the inmates do other tasks, which disturbed the assailants." According to the police, the juveniles then came together and plotted a conspiracy against him. "They called the victim to the washroom area from his barrack, where there is no CCTV surveillance. They kicked and punched him. They then made a rope by cutting the edges of the towel and tried to strangle him with it. After hearing the victim's screams, the caretakers and other staffers rushed and rescued him," Shelke said. "The victim was released from the observation home on Thursday after the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) granted him bail," he said. "We will not detain them in the case. We will make a report on the case about them and produce it before JJB. The inmates will continue to stay in the observation home," Shelke added.
