Woman techie slaps BMTC conductor, lands in judicial custody

Woman techie slaps BMTC conductor, lands in judicial custody

It was supposed to be a short, uneventful ride on a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) Volvo bus for Swati Nigam, a techie, on Saturday. Instead it turned out to be a trip right to prison — all because she allegedly lost her temper over a very trivial issue.

 

Swati, a native of Uttar Pradesh who works for Accenture in the city, was on her way to Marathalli and had boarded a Volvo (Route No. 500D) near Echo Space on the Outer Ring Road in Sarjapur. According to the police, she asked the conductor C Manjaiah, for a ticket. Manjaiah asked her to pay Rs 25, but since the distance was barely 4km, Swati objected and demanded an explanation. Manjaiah explained to her that the fare was Rs 25 if she alighted after the Marathalli Bridge, but the fare was only Rs 15 if she got down before the bridge. He told her that the stage changes after the bridge and that there is an increase of Rs 10 in fare for every stage. 

 

Swati appeared satisfied with the explanation and told the conductor that she would alight before the bridge. She asked for a Rs 15 ticket and gave the conductor a Rs 100 note. BMTC conductors suffer from a perennial problem of lack of small change and Manjaiah appeared no different. Manjaiah told Swati he did not have change and asked her to get change while he attended to other passengers.

 

When Manjaiah returned after a trip around the bus, Swati still didn’t have change. Manjaiah told her to pay the minimum fare of Rs 10 and to get down at the next stop. This triggered an argument between the two. Swati refused to pay since she was, quite literally, being forced off the bus. The conductor retorted that she should not have boarded the bus if she didn’t have the exact fare. 

 

According to the police, Manjaiah then broke out into Kannada, and Swati, under the impression that he was abusing her, resorted to violence. She slapped the conductor, hitting him on his right ear and followed up by clawing him. The driver, realising an altercation had broken out, locked the doors and, on the advice of other passengers, drove to the nearest police station. 

 

At the HAL police station, statements of both parties were recorded as were the statements of four other passengers. The passengers blamed Swati for starting the row and accused her of bad behaviour. A case of assault and obstructing a government servant was registered against Swati. Manjaiah was sent for a medical examination which confirmed an injury to his ear and temporary loss of hearing. He also had suffered bruises from scratching. Swati was then taken to a magistrate's house who remanded her to 15 days judicial custody. 

 

A depressed and disconsolate Swati was taken to Parappana Agrahara Central prison. Jail authorities say she spent most of Saturday night and Sunday weeping and had refused to eat. 

 

“Passengers should cooperate with the bus crew,” said KM Auradkar, BMTC Volvo divisional controller. “Small issues like this need to be sorted out . We will conduct an in-house inquiry on this issue.''

 

A friend of Swati, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed Manjaiah’s conduct was wholly unjustified. “When the conductor said he had no change and Swati agreed to get down, the conductor should not have insisted on her paying the Rs 10 minimum fare,” the friend said. “If she had change, she would have paid Rs 15 and continued the journey. From where will she get change? The conductor and some commuters misbehaved with Swati and provoked her by making comments in Kannada. She too has been assaulted. Once she is out of jail, we will register a complaint against the conductor and the driver.''

 

Manjaiah, however, claims the allegations that he and the driver had assaulted Swati were untrue and an afterthought. “If she was assaulted on board, she should have stated it before the police or the magistrate,” Manjaiah said.

बिन शादी के रही पत्नी की तरह, अब किया रेप का केस

बिन शादी के रही पत्नी की तरह, अब किया रेप का केस

बिन फेरे, हम तेरे। मेट्रो सिटी की तर्ज पर अब अपने शहर में भी यह चलन शुरू हो गया है।

उत्तर प्रदेश के मुरादाबाद में एक नामी कालेज के छात्र-छात्रा के बीच दो साल तक लिव-इन रिलेशन रहा और जब शादी की बात आई तो विवाद शुरू हो गया। मामला थाने पहुंचा।

छात्रा ने अपने रूममेट के खिलाफ बलात्कार का मुकदमा दर्ज कराया है। मामले को निपटाने के लिए कालेज प्रशासन के लोग भी पहुंचे, लेकिन छात्रा टस से मस नहीं हुई। युवक को पुलिस ने हिरासत में ले लिया है।

मूल रूप से सुल्तानपुर जिले की रहने वाली एक युवती मुरादाबाद के एक शिक्षण संस्थान से एमएससी कर रही है। करीब दो साल पहले वह संस्थान के दूसरे कालेज में पढ़ने वाले एमसीए फाइनल इयर के छात्र अभिषेक पाल निवासी लखनऊ के संपर्क में आई।

दोनों एक दूसरे के करीब आए और फिर मिलन विहार कालोनी के एक घर में किराए का कमरा लेकर पति-पत्नी की तरह रहने लगे।

समाज की नजरों में भी दोनों खुद को पति और पत्नी बताने लगे। लेकिन कुछ दिन पहले दोनों में टकराव शुरू हो गया। छात्रा शादी की जिद करने लगी तो छात्र ने इंकार कर दिया।

इसके बाद छात्रा ने शादी का झांसा देकर अपने साथ बलात्कार का आरोप लगाते हुए मझोला थाने में तहरीर दी। पुलिस ने छात्र को हिरासत में ले लिया।

सूचना पर संस्थान के अधिकारी भी थाने पहुंचे और समझाने का प्रयास किया, लेकिन युवती नहीं मानी। परिजनों ने भी समझाने की कोशिश की। समझौता नहीं होने पर पुलिस ने छात्रा का मेडिकल कराने की तैयारी शुरू कर दी। एसओ मझोला ने बताया कि आरोपी को हिरासत में लिया गया है। जांच की जा रही है।

बलात्कारी को फोन कर कहा, मुझसे शादी कर लो

बलात्कारी को फोन कर कहा, मुझसे शादी कर लो

मध्यप्रदेश के इंदौर शहर में एक अजीब सा मामला सामने आया जहां 18 साल की लड़की ने जिला कोर्ट में कहा कि उसकी शादी उसके दुष्कर्म के आरोपी से ही करा दी जाए।

लड़की का कहना था कि उसके मां-बाप एक अधेड़ से उसकी शादी करवा रहे हैं इससे बेहतर है कि मैं अपने दुष्कर्मी से शादी कर लूं।

इंदौर में गौरी नगर की 18 वर्षीय युवती मंगलवार को कोर्ट आई। एक वकील की मदद से फोन कर उसने अपने दुष्कर्म के आरोपी भगवान करण सिंह को बुलाया।

जब वह वहां पहुंचा तो लड़की ने पूरी बात बताई और उससे कहा कि मुझसे शादी कर लो। जब भगवान ने शादी की बात सुनी तो उसने हां कर दी।

भगवान का कहना है कि भले ही मुझ पर दुष्कर्म का आरोप लगा है लेकिन मैं इसे अपनी प्रेमिका मानता हूं। और इस तरह दोनों शादी के लिए राजी हो गए।

मां-बाप के दबाव में आकर लगाया था दुष्कर्म का आरोप

भगवान सिंह पर फरवरी 2013 में दुष्कर्म का आरोप लगा था। मामला कोर्ट में विचाराधीन है और भगवान को जमानत पर रिहा कर दिया है। मामले में पेच यह है कि अब शादी करते वक्त लड़की का कहना यह है कि उसने मां-बाप के दबाव में आकर यह आरोप लगाया था।

Man clubs wife to death, hangs himself

Man clubs wife to death, hangs himself

BANGALORE: A 64-year-old man clubbed his wife to death with a stick used to prepare ragi balls and then hanged himself in their residence near Mahalakshmi Layout on Tuesday morning. She was a private financier and entrepreneur and the couple often fought over her chit fund dealings and brusque way of recovering money.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a heated argument broke out between D Nanjappa Dasappa and Shashikala in the morning and he hit her on the head. "Shashikala, in her fifties, sustained serious skull injuries and died on the spot. Nanjappa panicked and hanged himself," deputy commissioner of police (North) Sandeep Patil said.

The couple is survived by son Manjunath and two married daughters, Devika and Dhanalakshmi.

Moolah rage?

Nanjappa Dasappa didn't like his wife Shashikala doing the money-lending business. And Shashikala allegedly taunted her husband that the family was prosperous, thanks to her business.

He spoke to daughter before ending life

Manjunath Nanjappa teaches mathematics at Christ University.

Nanjappa is a former ITI employee. Close relatives told police that Nanjappa didn't like his wife being in the money-lending business. He was upset about the way she recovered money from debtors and chit fund deals with women in the neighbourhood and said it was unbecoming of their family. Shashikala also allegedly taunted her husband on how her business had made the family prosperous and he did not contribute anything, police were told.

Devika was in tears when she recalled her father's phone call around 10.30am. "His trembling voice told me something was wrong and I rushed home to the tragedy," she said. Manjunath and his younger sister, Dhanalakshmi, shocked by the events, refused to say anything.

Sugandhini Malatesh, their neighbour in Srikanteshwaranagar, said the old couple fought often but the clashes never reached this level. "They lived on the first floor and rented out the ground floor," she said.

According to Manjunath's wife Pavithra, her in-laws had asked her to visit her mother's home in Peenya in the morning. "They were arguing and after my husband left around 8am, I took my three-year-old son to my parents' house. I came to know about the tragedy only when my husband called me about it," she said.

The last words

Minutes before ending his life, Nanjappa called Devika, who works with a private hospital in Malleswaram. "I have kept all the gold inside a bag and you take it all. I may not call you again ever," he said, before ending the call.
Devika thought her father may have been miffed after one of his usual scraps with her mother and rushed home to check if all was well. When she reached the house around 11am, she saw the main door slightly open. She was shocked to find her mother lying dead in the hall and father hanging from the ceiling fan in the bedroom.

There was blood splattered all over the hall and the ragi ball stick too had blood stains.  http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Man-clubs-wife-to-death-hangs-himself/articleshow/21499519.cms
