Lucknow: The UP Special Task Force (STF) on Thursday arrested a notorious criminal, who had escaped from Chhattisgarh police custody recently, from Kushinagar. Dharmendra alias Rahuldev of Lohapatti Bhagirath (Rampur) had 20 heinous criminal cases registered in his name. SSP STF, Ghule Sushil Chandrabhan, said STF had been receiving intelligence reports about the activities of wanted and bounty-listed criminals in the region. Acting on these reports, various STF teams were instructed to gather intelligence and take necessary action. During these operations, a team received information that Dharmendra, who had escaped from Chhattisgarh police custody on July 27 and was wanted in a case in Auraiya, was hiding in the Padrauna area of Kushinagar, he said.

Woman, along with two sons, jumps into Gomti over dowry harassment

Lucknow: A 27-year-old woman, along with her two young sons, jumped into the Gomti river from Aausaneshwar bridge in Barabanki's Kotwali area following alleged prolonged dowry harassment by her in-laws and second husband, on Wednesday. The bodies of all three were recovered by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) nearly 18 hours later on Thursday evening. The incident occurred around 4 pm on Wednesday. According to police, the woman, identified as Mithilesh Kumari Yadav, reached the bridge carrying her sons Abhay (6) and Ansh (4). She first placed her jewellery and mobile phone, wrapped in a cloth, on the bridge, then threw her elder son into the river. Holding her younger child in her arms, she jumped into the swollen waters. On Thursday, SDRF teams recovered Ansh's body about 10 km downstream near Nainpura ghat, while Mithilesh and Abhay's bodies were found roughly 100 metres from the bridge. Police recovered a suicide note from the spot addressed to the Superintendent of Police. In it, Mithilesh accused her father-in-law Babulal, mother-in-law Kunti Devi, and second husband Bhola of harassing her for dowry and threatening to kill her and her children.

Mithilesh married Babulal's elder son Hukum seven years ago, and the couple had two sons. About a year ago, Hukum died of illness. Three months ago, she married her brother-in-law Bhola. According to the note, she claimed the three also misappropriated compensation money given after her first husband's death and routinely abused her. "They told me to bring Rs 2 lakh and jewellery or leave with my children. We had no place to go. They beat us and threatened to hang us," the note read, adding that she was ending her life and that of her children so her in-laws could "enjoy themselves without us being a burden," the note read. Babulal told police that on Wednesday afternoon around 3 pm, Mithilesh left home with her children without informing anyone. "We looked for her but couldn't find her. The next morning, police told us she jumped into the river," he said. Locals alleged that no police officer reached the spot for nearly 16 hours after the incident. Only after SDRF teams arrived on Thursday morning were the bodies recovered. The Gomti river is currently in spate due to the monsoon , making the search operation challenging. Police said the bodies have been sent for postmortem, and further investigation into the dowry harassment allegations is underway.
