Ranchi: The
Dhanbad SSP
, H P Janardhanan, has asked his subordinates to speed up action against the
organised crime
groups, particularly that of
Prince Khan
and the cyber criminals, active in the district. Speaking about the issue, SSP said that even though Prince Khan has been hiding abroad, his gang members have been actively involved in extortion calls in the district. "Identify the gang members and send them to jail," Janardhanan said.
He further said, "Prince Khan group's activities have come down due to regular police action but it is the only organised crime group which is creating problems. We are taking necessary steps for his deportation."
It may be stated here that the Prince Khan gang was involved in several criminal incidents in 2023. In recent times,
Dhanbad Police
have arrested four members of the gang in February and six members in December last year. On
cyber crime
cases in the district, the SSP said the rise in such incidents, including digital arrests and 'sextortion', was also an area of concern. He also asked all his officers to identify the criminals involved in such wrongdoings and arrest them.
The SSP also said police would carry out awareness drives among people through 'Police Ka Pathashala' and other programmes regarding the prevention of cybercrime and other issues like road safety and prevention of witch-hunting.
He stated that cases related to rape, atrocities on women and children, and the Pocso Act should be taken seriously and instructed that charge sheets must be submitted in these cases within 60 days. He added that several instructions have been issued for effective law and order system, including reducing the pendency of cases at police stations, and strict action against drug peddlers, cattle smugglers, gambling and indulging in the sale of illegal liquor.

After registering the case on May 30, the CBI pin-pointed his location and raided his premises in Aizawl on June 4 during which incriminated digital devices were seized. The agency alleged that the accused was creating, collecting, storing and uploading child sexual abuse material , in violation of laws. Subsequent forensic examination revealed a substantial cache of child abuse content, including graphic images and videos, a CBI spokesperson had said earlier. These materials were corroborated with data from Interpol's International Child Sexual Exploitation database as well as Cyber Tipline Reports generated by Google and shared with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre , Ministry of Home Affairs, he had said. The analysis further uncovered that a minor had been threatened and sexually assaulted by the accused.

4 years' jail for sexual assault, but school guard to walk free
Ghaziabad: A special Pocso court sentenced a guard at a girls' school in the city to four years in jail for using criminal force on a student with the intent of outraging her modesty and imposed a fine of Rs 20,000. The court however, dropped the charge of attempted rape. Additional Sessions cum Special Pocso judge Neeraj Gautam said that the term of the sentence would be adjusted with the time already spent in jail. The convict had surrendered in 2021 after the crime was reported and has remained behind bars since then. As such, the convict will have served the necessary jail time by the time he was sentenced and will walk free. In March 2021, a class 6 student told her family members and her school's principal that one of the security guards at the school had followed her to her classroom, where he forcibly kissed her and then dragged the minor to the bathroom. He undressed the girl and attempted to force himself on the minor, and even threatened her with dire consequences when she protested. An FIR was subsequently filed in the case by the minor's uncle.

The prosecution presented five witnesses, including the minor, her uncle, present and former school principals, and the investigator in the case. Meanwhile, the defence produced the father of the accused, who had also worked at the school previously, as a witness. Having heard both sides, the court concluded that the prosecution was successful in establishing crucial facts that the victim was underage and was targeted by the gatekeeper with bad intentions. "The prosecution has proved beyond doubt that the accused committed sexual assault on the minor with the intent to outrage her modesty and is guilty," the court said in the judgement pronounced on June 19. The accused was sentenced under section 354 of the IPC, which deals with criminal force on a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty, to four years in jail. The court also sentenced the man to four years under section 8 of the Pocso Act, dealing with touching a child with sexual intent without penetration. The two sentences were awarded to run concurrently, and the convict was directed to deposit a fine of Rs 20,000.
