UP: Police arrest man for rape of six-year-old child in Sitapur

Digital Desk | Sitapur, Sep 22 (IANS) Police on Tuesday arrested Avadh Ram alias Bhole Shankar within 12 hours after he allegedly raped a six-year-old girl in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh. The accused allegedly lured the girl to a sugarcane field before committing the heinous crime. He opened fire at the police team that had gone to nab him and sustained a leg injury in retaliatory firing. The little girl underwent a medical examination to confirm the rape, while the Superintendent of Police had announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for information leading to the accused Avadh Ram alias Bhole Shankar's arrest. CO (Mahmoodabad) Kapoor Kumar said police teams were formed under the directions of the Sitapur Superintendent of Police to conduct continuous raids and trace the accused. Today, on September 22, based on specific information provided by an informer, the accused was spotted early in the morning near Berra village. When our police team and the Mission Shakti team arrived on the road near Berra village to conduct a raid, the accused opened fire at the police after seeing them. In self-defence, the police retaliated, Kumar said. He sustained injuries during the firing and has been sent to hospital. We recovered a revolver, two live cartridges and Rs 350 in cash from him. Further legal action is being taken, he added. In a separate incident, a 17-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh was allegedly gang-raped by a bus driver and conductor inside a moving sleeper bus after they offered her a lift amid heavy rain in the Delhi-NCR region, police said on August 31.

Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.

Himachal: Migrant worker found dead in Nalagarh bushes, family suspects murder

Digital Desk | Nalagarh, Sep 21 (IANS) The body of a 21-year-old migrant worker was recovered from bushes near Chonkiwala in Nalagarh subdivision on Monday evening. The deceased, identified as Rajeev, had been missing for around three days. His family identified him based on his clothes and other belongings. According to the information, Rajeev left his home after breakfast about three days ago but did not return. His family, which resides in Kripalpur and works as labourers, searched for him at several locations. A missing person complaint was reportedly filed at the Nalagarh police station. The body was discovered after a woman noticed a foul smell emanating from the bushes near Chonkiwala. She alerted residents and the authorities, following which the police reached the spot and recovered the body. Rajeev's father, Mahendra, said their family originally belonged to Lakshmipur in Uttar Pradesh and had migrated to the area for livelihood. He said Rajeev worked alongside the family and had been missing since leaving home three days earlier. Mahendra expressed suspicion that unidentified individuals may have murdered his son and that his body could have been dumped in the bushes. He urged the police and administration to conduct a thorough investigation, identify those responsible and take strict legal action. Rajeev's friend Bansi also confirmed that he had been missing for approximately three days. He said the condition of the body had deteriorated considerably and expressed suspicion that Rajeev might have been killed before his body was abandoned at the site. The police have taken the body into custody and initiated an investigation. However, the suspected murder has not yet been confirmed. The exact cause of death will be established after the post-mortem examination and further investigation. The bereaved family has appealed to senior police and administrative officials to ensure an impartial investigation, establish the circumstances surrounding Rajeev's death and bring those found responsible to justice.

Delhi court extends judicial custody of six accused in Satya Niketan building collapse case

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) A Delhi court on Monday extended the judicial custody of six accused, including building owners son Mahesh Gupta, his parents, PG operators Sudhanshu and Shubham Tyagi, and labour contractor Sanoj, by 14 days in connection with the Satya Niketan building collapse case that claimed seven lives. The accused were produced before the Patiala House Court after their earlier judicial custody expired. The court extended their judicial custody for another 14 days as the investigation into the circumstances leading to the collapse continues. The five-storey building, known as Hostel Daze, was being operated as a boys paying guest accommodation in South Delhis Satya Niketan area, near Delhi Universitys South Campus. It collapsed at around 1.30 p.m. on September 6, leaving seven people dead. Delhi Police arrested building owner Urmila, 75, her 81-year-old retired husband Hariram, and their 52-year-old son Mahesh Gupta in connection with the case. During questioning, Mahesh told investigators he used to manage the building's maintenance on behalf of his parents. The property was leased to PG operators Shubham Tyagi and Sudhanshu in August 2025, after which they operated it as a paying guest accommodation under the name Hostel Daze. Meanwhile, Delhi Police arrested labour contractor Sanoj, who was overseeing repair work in the basement, in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh. According to the police, initial questioning of Sanoj revealed that repair work was underway in the basement, where waste had been accumulating during the rainy season for the past eight to 10 days. The police said the ground floor was also being repaired for a commercial extension. The police have been examining the role of the property owners, PG operators, and people involved in the building's repair and construction work. The collapse has also led to action by civic authorities, with several MCD officials suspended in connection with the incident. The Delhi High Court is separately hearing petitions concerning the safety of PG accommodations in the national capital following the tragedy.

Air Chief Marshal meets school children at Sarsawa Air Base

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh interacted with school children at Air Force Station Sarsawa on Monday during an official visit. The Indian Air Force described the meeting as a candid interaction marked by curiosity, smiles and light-hearted exchanges. The engagement took place on the sidelines of the Air Chiefs visit to the operational base in Uttar Pradesh. Students from local schools and those associated with the station had the opportunity to meet the senior-most officer of the Indian Air Force in an informal setting. Photographs shared by the IAF on its X handle showed the Air Chief listening to questions from the children and sharing moments of laughter. Such interactions are part of the Air Forces outreach efforts to inspire the younger generation. By engaging directly with students, the force seeks to acquaint them with values of discipline, service and national pride. The Chief of the Air Staff's presence gave the children a rare opportunity to interact with the leadership of one of the countrys key defence services. Air Force Station Sarsawa, located in Saharanpur district, is an important operational base. Visits by senior leadership usually include reviews of operational readiness, infrastructure and personnel welfare. The interaction with school children was organised alongside the official programme, reflecting the forces emphasis on connecting with communities around its bases. The IAF post highlighted the meeting's cheerful, inquisitive atmosphere. Children appeared enthusiastic, asking questions and engaging freely with the Air Chief. Informal conversation underscored the accessible nature of the interaction. For the Air Force, engagements of this kind serve a dual purpose: they give young students a first-hand look at the service and its leadership, while also inspiring potential future aspirants. The interaction at Sarsawa adds to a series of outreach activities undertaken by the Air Chief during his visits across the country, reaffirming the IAFs commitment to engaging with the next generation.
