Protest against IrBM in Bangalore

Ghaziabad: Wife kills husband over drinking habits

What will happen if Husband kills wife bcoz she has drinking habits will law take it so smoothly, Domestic violence is it happening on Men or Women?

A 48-year-old woman allegedly bludgeoned her husband to death after she had a heated argument with him at their residence in the Rampuri area of Ghaziabad.
Police said Shanta Devi told them that her husband Sriram Sharma (54), a businessman, was an alcoholic and frequently fought with her and assaulted her. Shanta has been arrested for his murder.
Police said the couple lived with their daughter, who is an MBA student in Ghaziabad. On Tuesday, Sriram came home drunk and fought with his wife over a trivial matter, police said.
"The two had been having arguments for a while. Sriram had a transport business, which wasn't doing very well. As a result, the family's finances were suffering and it's possible that Sriram had taken to drinking because of this," Ranvijay Singh, Ghaziabad Deputy Superintendent Police, said.
Police said Sriram would often assault his wife while he was in an inebriated state. After her arrest, Shanta told police that the constant abuse — both physical and mental — had driven her to the murder.
Police said when the daughter saw her parents fighting, she tried to intervene and was told by her mother to go to the next room. "Following this, Shanta hit him on the head with a hammer. Death was almost instantaneous. After killing him, she covered him with a blanket and went off to sleep in the next room," Singh said.
Police said the body was discovered by the daughter on Friday morning, after which she informed the police.
This is the second such incident in National Capital Region in the last two days. On Thursday, an elderly woman was bludgeoned to death by unknown assailants inside her Malviya Nagar residence.

Lawyer felicitated for contribution in cause of men

ALLAHABAD: A High Court lawyer Arvind Kumar Pandey was felicitated by a section of lawyers for receiving an award at fifth National Men's Rights Conference held in Nagpur recently, for outstanding contribution in championing the cause of men in national and International arena, during a programme organized at Indian Coffee House on Saturday.

Addressing the lawyers, Arivind Kumar Pandey said, "Biased criminal laws have spoiled the lives of many men charged under the Dowry Act. The laws like Domestic Violence Act, IPC 498 a, and Maintenance Act, to name a few are heavily tilted in favour of women and have done more harm than producing good effects."

The Men's Rights National conference, held at Pench Tiger Reserve in Nagpur was attended by more than 150 men's rights activists, who represented 40,000 activists spread across India and other parts of the globe.

This year's national conference was held under the aegis of Nagpur Chapter of Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), now being run by Rajesh Vakharia. Few prominent International Men's Rights Associations like Marital Justice from United Kingdom and INSAAF from USA besides Men's Rights activists from Germany, Singapore, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Middle East, Japan and Russia also attended the conference.

Informing about the resolutions passed at fifth Men's Rights conference Arvind Kumar Pandey, who attended the conference as a writer and blogger said, "The first resolution was aimed at formation of Men's Welfare Ministry while the next resolution aimed at reducing the number of men involved in hazardous professions and another important resolution dealt with creation of gender-neutral treatment in legal aspects. Recognition of the rights of fathers, making shared parenting necessary in wake of separation was another major demand made on the occasion. The activists were unanimous in rejecting the highly biased Marriage Law Amendment Bill, 2010, and demanded its roll back. Lastly, the need to make huge investment in areas of Men's health was deeply felt."

The felicitation ceremony at Coffee House, Allahabad, was attended by advocates including Neeraj Shukla, Sampanna Kumar Srivastava, Ashish Nigam, Satyadhar Dubey, Arvind Kushwaha, Pintu Jaiswal, Shubhranshu Pandey, Arun Prakash Srivastava, Mohit Kesarwani and few others.

Man attempts suicide inside police station as police ignore complaint

Man attempts suicide inside police station as police ignore complaint

A 60-year-old man, tortured by his daughter-in-law, attempted suicide inside a police station in Delhi on Thursday when policemen cold-shouldered his complaint.
Rajbeer Singh consumed a poisonous substance inside west Delhi's Kanjhawala police station premises after police personnel did not pay heed to his complaint against his daughter-in-law.
Singh was rushed to a hospital where his condition was stated to be out of danger.
A police officer said Rajbeer had approached the police station a day ago and informed that his daughter-in-law had thrown him out of his house after usurping his property.
However, the policemen sent him home, telling him to come if his daughter-in-law did not mend her ways.
According to sources, Rajbeer arrived at the police station today (Thursday) but, once again, the policemen turned a deaf ear to his pleas. Frustrated, he then consumed the poisonous substance.

Ensure women's safety = Ignore men's safety?

Recently Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil assured all women journalists that the Government would provide them special security when they are out on their job.
Sounds like a populist measure dreamt up without considering the root cause of why crime in the society is on the rise.
Go through the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report which states that ‘crimes against men are increasing rapidly' and more than 75% of murders reported in this country are against men.
Take a look at the Murder rate of Men vs Women:
Male Victims-24,441, Female Victims-8,718 Total Victims-33,159
Culpabale Homicide Not Amounting To Murder (Sec.304 and 308 IPC) During 2009
Male Victims=3,529, Female Victims=753 Total Victims=4282
Now we wonder, can a society provide safety to women, while men themselves are not safe? The NCRB report summarized the data of crimes against women and children, but they did not provide any details of crimes against men.
Since 2005, we have been providing the crime and murder data compiled by the NCRB to the Government, but they fed it to the bins as media never showed any concern over the safety of men, which is a need of society.
If you go through the report of "Committee to protect Journalists " and click on Gender, it clearly mentions that 97% of the journalists killed were men.
On August 24th, a Journalist from UP, Mr. Akhilesh, was killed. But there was hardly any protest from the journalists associations or any candlelight vigils by common people of society.
I am really not surprised given the biased approach prevalent in every institution. We have death penalty for murder, but the cases are increasing day by day. It is evident beyond reasonable doubt that increasing the punishment alone won’t help in reducing crime.
When someone commits a crime, what are the chances that he gets caught? Currently the number stands at 10 to 15 per cent on an average.Today the police can trap any innocent law abiding citizen in criminal cases but fails to catch the real criminal for months/years.
Once a criminal is caught the law punishes him for 10 to 12 years and if someone wants to prove his innocence it takes 10 to 12 years. So, the root cause is the failure of our criminal justice system and the police.
More stringent laws mean more power to police/judiciary, which could lead to abuse of power and more corruption. The failure of police to provide safety to Indian men never gets highlighted.
All women activists/media are running behind the women safety issue, like in a desert desperately trying to find a mirage.
History itself states that where men are not safe, dreaming of safety for women is nothing but fooling yourself.
Safety/violence is never a gender issue. Media friends must also understand the pain of a woman when she loses her brother or son or father.
