सेक्स के जाल में फंसाकर करते थे रईसजादों को ब्लैकमेल
यूपी पुलिस ने मुरादाबाद में एक कॉलगर्ल्स रैकेट का भांडेफोड़ किया
है जो सेक्स के जाल में फंसाकर रईसजादों को ब्लैकमेल किया करता था। पुलिस
ने पांच कॉलगर्ल्स व दो युवकों को गिरफ्तार किया है।
छापे के दौरान
घर से करीब पांच लाख रुपये के अलावा कैमरा, वीडियो फुटेज, फोटो, नौ महंगे
मोबाइल समेत कई आपत्तिजनक चीजें बरामद की गईं।
इन कॉलगर्ल्स का
संबंध बेंगलुरु, लखनऊ, दिल्ली, आगरा जैसे बड़े शहरों से हैं। कॉल डिटेल के
आधार पर इस नेटवर्क से जुड़े और लोगों की तलाश की जा रही है।
शनिवार
रात पुलिस को बाहर से कुछ कॉलगर्ल्स के किसी पार्टी के लिए बुलाए जाने की
सूचना मिली थी। इस पर सीओ सिविल लाइंस के निर्देशन में एसएसपी ने टीम का
गठन करके छापे की कार्रवाई के लिए भेजा।
रात करीब 10 बजे जब पुलिस
फकीरपुरा क्षेत्र में पहुंची तो वहां अफरातफरी मच गई। कोई कॉलगर्ल छत से
कूदकर भाग निकली तो कोई बेड के नीचे छिप गई। करीब चार लड़कियां फरार हो
गईं।
पुलिस पांच कॉलगर्ल्स और मकान मालकिन को लेकर थाने आई। जांच
में पता लगा कि यह रैकेट अमीरजादों को फंसाकर उनकी अश्लील क्लिपिंग बनाता
था और फिर ब्लैकमेल करता था।
मौके पर मिली रकम इसी ब्लैकमेलिंग के
जरिए इकट्ठा की गई थी। कुछ लड़कियों की कॉल डिटेल निकलवाई गई तो पता लगा कि
उनके तार देश के करीब एक दर्जन महानगरों से भी जुड़े हैं।
डायरी में कई सफेदपोशों के नाम
छापे
की कार्रवाई के दौरान पुलिस को घर से एक डायरी भी मिली। जिसमें कुछ नाम और
फोन नंबर लिखे थे। पुलिस ने यह डायरी खंगाली तो उसमें कई सफेदपोशों के नाम
भी लिखे थे। एक पुलिसकर्मी का भी नाम मिला।
एसपी सिटी ने बताया कि
सभी नंबरों की पड़ताल की जा रही है। यह नाम डायरी में क्यों लिखे गए थे?
इस बात का जवाब नहीं मिल पाया है। मुमकिन है कि इस धंधे में कुछ बडे़ लोगों
का भी हाथ हो। जांच के बाद ही कुछ कहा जा सकता है।
ऐसे करते थे ब्लैकमेल
लड़कियां
ग्राहक के बुलावे पर अपने साथ कैमरा लेकर जाती थीं। होटलों में भी यह
कैमरा लगा दिया जाता था। जिस मकान में छापा मारा गया, वहां अलग-अलग करीब 10
कमरे बने हुए हैं।
पकड़ी गई कॉलगर्ल्स में से दो नाबालिग बताई जा
रही हैं। वहीं पुलिस ने मकान मालकिन के कथित पति और एक युवक को भी हिरासत
में लिया है। एक युवती आगरा और एक मेरठ की रहने वाली है।

Brides can no longer commit crime of false dowry and 498a allegations
Brides can no longer commit crime of false dowry and 498a allegations
The subaltern trend is already visible now with few high court jusges are daring to stop prosecution of husbands when faced with evidently baseless dowry and harassment allegations. They have rightfull conceded that when the evidences are not even to prosecute thou shall not prosecute.
The subaltern trend is already visible now with few high court jusges are daring to stop prosecution of husbands when faced with evidently baseless dowry and harassment allegations. They have rightfull conceded that when the evidences are not even to prosecute thou shall not prosecute.
Section 482 is never meant to be an empty and toothless law. It
meaning is clear that when there will be no justice is conducting
prosecuting a case such cases have to be dropped. Supreme court
cautioned that it should e used in rarest of rare case. Unfortunately it
was used as an excuse and rarest of rare of false cases were quashed.
The guidelines given by supreme court only lists down some of the
reasons for quashing but in reality this section was never meant to be
constrained in another way
In dowry and 498a cases till 2005 for 22 years there were only 5 cases of quash on merits .
The break in trend can be seen with the complete quashing of the
case filed by a software Engineer currentlly working in Infosys. On
quick analysis of the Complaint by the said Infosian Software Engineer
The courts found out that there could not ever have been the possibllity
of dowry case at all . It was the resentment of this infosys software
Engineer towards the mother in law who used to visit the couple very
infrequently and had prudently and safely stayed away from the couple .
The lure of visiting the grandchild was too much for this el=derly
grandwother and visited the couple for just a day . This was resented
and the software engineer filed a case of dowry and harassement against
the her husband and his mother.
The courts clearly observerved that nowadays the turn in marital
disputes have taken a curiopus disputes with the women turning agressors
and found that there was no justification for the said software
engineer to have filed any complaint with police station . This
judgement was reported in ILR [1] 2006 .
In 2006 UP High court high court again provided relief against
vexatious dowry and harassment cases observing there had been no reason
for the cases
In late 2006 chennai high court quashed the case of an SIF member completely .
In 2007 Delhi high court represented by justice Dhingra made the
observsation that the those brides who come with gift horses should be
punished. They give lots of gifts in marriage and when marriage goes
sour they start screaming dowry and harassment . I tis nothing but
a sick mentality gone sour after refusing to allow the prosecution of an
husband.
The undertones of trend are clear . It needs to be strenghtened
. Without smoke there is no question prosecuting someone for starting
the fire. Merely the wife and her relative making sound of "fire fire "
is no justification for prosecutingdowry , harassment cases.
If marriage goes sour go for divorce. If you do not have
money then work and earn money is my messge to the young girls and
women . Do not use 498a or dowry cases as money making business
The courts are slowly starting to protexct against maliciouos
prosecution and they will soon start prosecuting the malicous
prosecuter. Time for Section 211 which has existed as dead letter for
such long time is now to be brought alive . The trends are obvious. for
too long and too much have 498a and DP act been allowed to be casue
havoc to innocent families
Final words from the husband of the software Engineer working in Infosys
"
After all justice cannot be completely said to be done by merely
stopping the prosection . Unless the malicious prosecuters are jailed
the blood cancer of of 498a will not be arrested."
False dowry case? Man kills self
False dowry case? Man kills self
Lucknow, February 6 A 30-year-old man, Pushkar Singh, committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his home in Jankipuram area of Vikas Nagar, on Wednesday.
In a suicide note, addressed to the Allahabad High Court, Singh alleges that he was framed in a dowry case by his wife Vinita and her relatives, due to which he had to spend time in judicial custody for four months.
The Vikas Nagar police registered a case later in the day.
“During the investigation, if we find it necessary to question Vinita, we will definitely record her statement,” said BP Singh, Station Officer, Vikas Nagar.
Pleading innocence and holding his wife responsible for the extreme step he was taking, Singh’s note states: “I was sent to jail after a false dowry case was lodged against me by Vinita and her family, who had demanded Rs 14 lakh as a compensation. Neither my father nor I had seen such a big amount in our lives. We even sold our house to contest the case.”
According to reports, Singh married Vinita about two years ago and lived in Allahabad since.
Early last year, his wife left him and started living with her family.
A case under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 498 (A) (cruelty by husband or relatives of husband) and 504 (intentional insult) was lodged by Vinita and her relatives before she left him.
In the note, Singh wrote he was in the Naini Central Jail from “September 29 to December 24, 2007”.
Shishupal Singh, Singh's brother-in-law, said he was disturbed ever since he released from jail. The court case constantly haunted him.
“After he was bailed out, he was living with his mother, younger sister and a physically-challenged brother in a rented house in Jankipuram.” The family had their own house in Indira Nagar, which was recently sold to meet the legal expenses, he added.
“While he searched for a job, he drove a three-wheeler for a living. A few days ago, he received a notice from the court and since then, he stopped stepping out of the house,” he said.
In the note, Singh further wrote: “I would also like to request Vinita not to harass my family in future. It was my mistake to marry her and I am repenting it by sacrificing my life.”

Court says rape law is being misused by women
Court says rape law is being misused by women
Penal provisions on rape have been misused by some women who develop consensual physical relationship with their lovers and after the breakup file false rape cases to force them to marry them, the Delhi High Court has said.
Justice Kailash Gambhir said rape law was often misused by women as weapon for "vengeance and vendetta" to harass and blackmail their male friends by filing false cases to extort money and to force them to marry them.
"Many of the cases are being reported by those women who have consensual physical relationship with a man but when the relationship breaks due to one reason or the other, the women use the law as a weapon for vengeance and personal vendetta to extort money and sometimes even to force the boy to get married to them," the court said in a recent order.
"Out of anger and frustration, they tend to convert such consensual sex as an incident of rape, defeating the very purpose of the provision," Justice Gambhir said, while hearing a case related to a woman's complaint against her lover in Rani Bagh area July 13, 2012.
The rape complaint was filed against Rohit Chauhan, who was allegedly in a relationship with the woman for three years.
The court said that in many cases the woman first agrees to have consensual sex but she files a rape case against her boyfriend when the relationship breaks up in order to "force him to get married, making not only mockery of the marriage but also inflate the statistics of rape cases".
A trial court must cautiously examine the intentions of a complainant girl to find out whether the rape allegation was genuine or had malafide motives.
"There is a clear demarcation between rape and consensual sex and in cases where such controversies are involved, the court must very cautiously examine the intentions of both the individuals involved and to check if even the girl, on the other hand, is genuine or had malafide motives."
"Cases like these not only make a mockery of the sacred institution of marriage but also inflate the statistics of rape cases which further deprecates our own society," the court said.

Bangalore gets 25 divorce cases daily
Bangalore gets 25 divorce cases daily
Marriage to a successful techie, beginning a new life in a new city it seemed like a beautiful dream for Poonam Nath (name changed). But within a year, everything turned bitter and the couple separated. Poonam is not alone. The city sees an average of 25 divorce cases filed every day.
According to a recent survey by the Children's Rights Initiative For Shared Parenting (CRISP), around 13,000 cases of divorce are pending in various family courts in Bangalore. Of these 5,000 were filed in 2008.
"Now, I am staying alone and have managed to get a job in a BPO," said Poonam (23), who is from Kolkata.
"On an average, divorce cases take three to four years to get disposed of in Bangalore," said Kumar Jahgirdar, president of CRISP.
Lawyer Bhavana P said, "Cases get disposed of easily if couples opt for divorce by mutual consent. Some cases are pending because as per matrimonial law a year is given for reconciliation."
Experts vary on the reasons for the rise in divorce rate in Bangalore.
"There are reasons galore for the rise in divorce cases. Urbanisation and increasing violence against women and financial stability of both husband and wife, to name a few," said Dona Fernandes, a member of women rights' group Vimochana.
"Today's empowered women are refusing to follow the traditional diktats of Indian marriages. Marriage is the biggest form of displacement for any woman as she has to shift from her home (natural habitat) to her husband's home.
"It is the wife who is supposed to adjust. But today's financially strong women are not ready to take undue pressure on their individual existence and thus marital discords are bound to increase," said Fernandes.
Echoing the view, marriage counsellor Sujit Kumar says that financial stability is a major cause of rise in divorces.
"The couples do not try to work out the marriage as they are confident they can lead a life independently as both are financially stable," he said.
Psychiatrists are of the view that with stress and long working hours with little time for each other, couples drift apart and end up being separated.
Sanjanthi Sajan, who runs a firm that handles several such cases, says at her firm the basic idea is to stop couples going to court.
"We have counsellors who talk to couples to avoid going for a divorce," said Sajan.
Vishwanath B.N., a city-based advocate who handles divorce cases, says that today's couples do not try to reconcile and are in a hurry to end the marriage.
"There is very little that can be done to save the marriage after it comes to court," he said.

Septuagenarian couple in divorce battle
Septuagenarian couple in divorce battle
HYDERABAD: Marriages, it seems, are not made in heaven. Or so narrates the tale of 75-year old P Ramesh* who has filed for divorce from his wife of 52 years alleging mental agony and also for putting him behind bars on charges of dowry harassment more than three decades after they got married.
Surprisingly, Ramesh mustered enough courage to divorce his 70-year-old wife Sulekha* half a century later last year, saying his marital maladies began on November 11, 1961, the day his marriage was solemnized.
But the family court judge at Purani Haveli has been waiting for Sulekha to file a counter, which has not come so far, court officials said, and Ramesh's long wait for freedom has been delayed by more than a year now.
Sulekha lives alone in the city after she got separated from her husband 14 years ago, but court officials could not say why she has not yet filed a counter, although she was seen at court a few times. The divorce petition says both are 'incompatible'.
The septuagenarians worked in government departments and are both drawing pension and have three sons, who are all employed. Ramesh, in his original petition (OP) said that he could no longer live with Sulekha as she had caused him mental agony by accusing him of having an amorous disposition and had 'banished' him from his house on account of this, a charge he denies.
The allegedly henpecked septuagenarian's pleas for respite from the 'ill-treatment and harassment' at the hands of his wife will be heard on June 21 as the court has called for Sulekha's counsel to file a counter as the court's last attempt to try and save the marriage.
If the respondent still doesn't respond with a counter, the case is likely to be posted directly for evidence in the petition, lawyers said.
In 1999, 38-long years after their marriage, Sulekha had slapped various cases against Ramesh, including dowry harassment under section 498-A, 393 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC for which the XIII metropolitan magistrate had convicted him for six months.
Ramesh still decided not to take the extreme step, but the situation he says has come to such a pass that he has prayed that the marriage be dissolved as soon as possible, and he be awarded costs as the court deems fit.
Ramesh alleges in his petition that Sulekha had an 'ulterior motive' for marrying him in addition to claiming that he had invested in immovable properties, which were purchased in his wife's name. She was not a 'dutiful' wife, he adds in the petition. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Septuagenarian-couple-in-divorce-battle/articleshow/20302958.cms
