A 16-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh, India was surprised when she was informed that she had nearly Rs10 crore (Rs100 million) in her bank account.
As per reports, Saroj told the media that she had an account in an Allahabad Bank branch in Bansdih town since 2018, and had never even seen so much money.
Saroj immediately went to the police station and registered a complaint.
She told the police that a person named Neelesh Kumar had called her about two years ago and had asked her to send her Aadhaar card details and her photograph so that she could get funds under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is an initiative by the Indian Government in which affordable housing will be provided to the urban poor. Saroj said that she had sent the details to Kumar but never got any information from him after that.
She told the police that the number from which Kumar used to call her was now switched off. She also said that she did not know where the money came into her account.
The bank manager told the police that Saroj had deposited and withdrawn amounts ranging between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 several times.
Police station in-charge Rajesh Kumar Singh said the matter is being investigated and action would be taken accordingly. He said that cyber experts are also analyzing the money trail.
Additional Director General (ADG) of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Purushottam Sharma, has been suspended after a video of him beating his wife went viral on social media.
According to reports, Sharma’s wife had caught him with another woman.
Speaking to media, Sharma said they have been married for 32 years. “In 2008, she had complained against me. But the point is, since 2008 she has been living in my house, enjoying all facilities and travelling abroad on my expenses.”
“If my nature is abusive then she should’ve complained earlier. This is a family dispute, not a crime. I am neither a violent person nor a criminal. It is unfortunate that I have to go through this. My wife stalks me and has put cameras in the house.”
Several Twitter users were enraged by his comments.
This quote sums up everything that is wrong with this country. Why men don't see marital rape as a criminal offence, why we rank high in the list of countries most unsafe for women and why patriarchal men — husbands, partners, fathers, brothers — claim women as their property. https://t.co/eiwoA7LlC5
Just because Purshottam's wife has been living in his house doesn't mean she had given clean chit. Whatever may the family issue, beating & harassing a wife or women is not excusable. Just because he is in a wedlock for 32 years gives him no right to beat or abuse his wife.
Numerous men allegedly gang-raped a woman in her husband’s presence in Kala Shah Kaku, town of Sheikhupura, on Friday.
According toreports, the couple had arrived in Lahore from Rawalpindi on September 16 to find employment. The couple was sitting outside the Minar-e-Pakistan after they ran out of money when an unknown man promised to help them and took them to his village.
The couple said that the suspect trapped them with the promise to find jobs for them and a place to stay. However, when they reached Kala Shah Kaku, they were held hostage and four to five men, according to the woman, gang-raped her in front of her husband.
Police said that a case had been registered and an investigation is underway while six suspects have been arrested.
The woman’s DNA samples have been collected by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency, said the Sheikhupura DPO.
The two men who confessed to raping a minor girl earlier this month in Karachi continued the sexual assault even after the five-year-old was dead.
The child’s burnt body was found from a garbage dump two days after she was reported missing. The girl had gone to buy some sweets from a neighbourhood shop in the Old Sabzi Mandi area when she was kidnapped.
“This is not just a rape case but a gang-rape case,” a police officer familiar with the investigation said, adding that the fingerprints of both suspects had also matched.
The two prime suspects, Faiz and Abdullah, lived in the same area where the girl’s house is located. While Faiz is a tailor by profession, Abdullah is a garbage collector of Afghan origin. Abdullah has also been reportedly deported from the UK after seven years. Faiz was the one who first kidnapped the child but both men had raped her.
Faiz has been involved in the same crime before and lived alone a few houses away from the child’s residence in the same street. Abdullah, on the other hand, lived on a footpath in the area. Faiz had revealed the name of his accomplice after he was taken into custody.
Faiz informed police that they had kidnapped the minor girl and brought her to his house, before raping her one by one, during which she died. He also confessed that the two had continued raping the child even after she died before wrapping her body in a waistcoat and stuffing it in a gunny bag to dump at the garbage site at Milk Plant plot in the PIB Colony police station’s jurisdiction.
While both had confessed to the crime on Thursday, officials said they now had the fingerprint report that pointed towards Faiz and Abdullah’s involvement in the gang-rape and murder. However, a DNA report was yet to be released.
One of the investigators in the Esa Nagri case said Faiz’s house is located across the girl’s.
“The piece of cloth wrapped around [her] body was taken from Faiz’s shop,” the official said.
Journalist Fereeha Idrees, who has extensively been covering the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway gang-rape case and is also reportedly in contact with the survivor, has made a shocking revelation that has added to people’s doubts regarding the alleged involvement of law enforcement in the incident.
Speaking to The Current during a live session on Monday night and separately to a private media outlet, Fereeha revealed that one of the accused left Rs1,000 on the dashboard of the survivor’s vehicle. The amount was meant for police upon their arrival at the spot after she had called the emergency helpline when her car ran out of fuel en route Gujranwala at midnight.
The journalist quoted the survivor as saying that when she reached the toll plaza, she paid toll tax and asked for the nearest petrol station. “After covering some distance, her car ran out of fuel and she called the motorway helpline. They apologised but gave her the local number.”
WATCH VIDEO:
Over the phone, a person sought her exact location via WhatsApp and then asked her to wait, she said.
Further quoting the victim, Fereeha said the woman was also asked as to how much petrol did she need, to which she requested for fuel worth Rs1,000. “She then waited for over an hour and a half before she was attacked and later raped in nearby fields off the main road.”
When the woman was found by the police and her belongings were retrieved, eyewitnesses say there was a Rs1,000 currency note on the dashboard, Fereeha said and added that it was left by the attackers.
“Apparently, the attackers wished that she would go home and not tell anyone. But is it a coincidence that she had said she needed fuel for at least Rs1,000 to reach home and that was exactly the amount the attackers left behind?”
Did one of them go back to put it there as they took her purse with them?
THE INCIDENT:
A woman, along with her three children, was driving to Gujranwala in her car when she was forced to stop at the Gujjarpura section of the motorway after running out of fuel at around 1:30 am.
She immediately called a relative and sent him her location. He asked her to also dial the Motorway Police helpline 130 but she was reportedly refused help.
In the meantime, two robbers approached the car, broke the window and took the woman and her children to nearby bushes where they raped her repeatedly in front of the children. They also snatched her purse that had cash around Rs100,000, one bracelet, car registration and three ATM cards.
The Gujjarpura police have registered a case, while Motorway Police spokesperson said they had not been able to take action as the incident did not occur in the limits of Motorway Police.
Senior journalist and analyst Dr Moeed Pirzada has quoted Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan as saying that criminals such as those involved in the Lahore-Sialkot motorway gang-rape should be hanged at public squares.
According to the journalist, the premier made the statement while speaking to him during an interview that will air tonight (Monday) on 92 News.
“PM Imran Khan thinks that criminals like the ‘motorway rapists’ should be hanged at public squares; watch an explosive discussion with PM Imran Khan, in Hard Talk Pakistan, 92 News, 8:03 pm tonight,” Pirzadatweeted.

PUBLIC HANGINGS:
While a number of people are demanding public hanging of the accused such as sought for serial child rapist and killer Imran Ali of Kasur, the premier’s belief contradicts that of federal science and technology minister and his government’s former spokesperson, Fawad Chaudhry.
A day earlier, Fawad had said that calls for hanging and burning the rapists alive from prominent members of his party and the educated faction were a reflection of the society’s violent thinking.
زندہ جلا دیں، سرعام پھانسی دے دیں، جسمانی عضا کاٹ دیں ~عوام کی جانب سے ایسا ردعمل آنا تو سمجھ آتا ہے، لیکن ہمارے وزراء اور پڑھےلکھے طبقات کی جانب سے بغیر کسی ہچکچاہٹ کے ایسی باتیں کرنا ہمارے معاشرے کی متشدد سوچ کا عکاس ہے، جو تشدد کو ہر مسئلے کا حل سمجھتی ہے۔
The minister’s comments had come after two members of the ruling party, namely Senator Faisal Javed and Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda, called for extreme punishments for those behind the gang-rape and the rape and murder of minor Marwah in Karachi.
Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Umar Sheikh on Monday apologised over his controversial statement regarding the motorway rape incident.
“I apologise to the victim and all others who were hurt by my remarks. I had no intention of giving any wrong impression,” he said.
The Lahore CCPO had earlier remarked that the rape victim should have been more careful and taken a safer route.
“I am shocked… you are a mother of three and the only driver late at night… [she] should have taken the GT [Grand Trunk] Road instead, which is densely populated,” he had said while speaking to Dunya News.
Sheikh went had further said that the woman should “at least have checked her fuel before taking the motorway”.
On Tuesday night, it was reported that two robbers had gang-raped a mother of three on the Motorway within Gujjarpura police’s jurisdiction.
The woman, along with her three children, was driving to Gujranwala in her car when she was forced to stop at the Gujjarpura section of the Motorway after running out of fuel at around 1:30 am.

At least one of the two culprits has been identified.
Barrister Khadija Siddiqi, who was stabbed 23 times in broad daylight in Lahore, has reminded Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Umar Sheikh of what happened in her case, shutting him up for his statement blaming the motorway gang-rape survivor for travelling alone with her three kids past midnight.
“I was stabbed 23 times in broad daylight! Don’t tell us that ‘time’ is directly connected to the commission of offense!” she tweeted while also asking as to under what authority could the CCPO set “time limits” on women’s travel.
Ccpo claiming that in our society women/children arent allowed to go outside after 12:30 am! Who are you to set time limits for us? I was stabbed 23 times in broad daylight! Dont tell us that ‘time’ is directly connected to the commission of offence! #motorwayincidentpic.twitter.com/8z9ERuJ3Rc
The officer, who is also supposed to be leading the investigation of the motorway rape case, is being criticised for using language that tantamounts to victim-blaming.
“I am shocked… you are a mother of three and the only driver late at night… [she] should have taken the GT [Grand Trunk] Road instead, which is densely populated,” CCPO Sheikh had said while speaking to Dunya News.
He went on to say that the woman should “at least have checked her fuel before taking the motorway”.

A 15-year-old Indian boy spent more than 200,000 Indian rupees (INR) from his grandfather’s bank account on Player Unknown’s Battleground (PUBG).The boy reportedly used the money from his grandfather’s pension account on the game’s in-app purchases.
For the unacquainted, in PUBG you require something known as UC (Unknown Cash) to buy skins, crates, and other in-game items. UC can be bought through in-app purchases, a known feature within the game.
The matter came to light when the boy’s 65-year-old grandfather received a text message from his bank that only INR 275 was left in his account in May. He immediately filed a complaint at a police station, suspecting fraud.
A few months later, his complaint was transferred to the Cyber Cell Hub that traced the user of the funds back to the man’s grandson. The teenager had used the money for in-game purchases without even telling his grandfather.
The amount had been transferred from the account to a Paytm wallet through OTP, which belongs to a 23-year-old man named Pankaj Kumar who confessed that his friend had been using the wallet. The friend turned out to the complainant’s grandson.
The boy told that he started playing the game only this January. He confessed that he used his grandfather’s pension for in-app purchases. He also confessed that he had deleted the OTP text messages from his grandfather’s phone.
No legal action was taken against the teenager as his grandfather decided not to proceed with the complaint.
