Every fifth murder in Delhi sexually motivated: Police

Every fifth murder in the capital is sexually motivated, Police Commissioner B.K. Gupta said on Friday.
Addressing the annual press conference of the Delhi Police, Gupta said: "According to the latest data, 18 percent of murders in Delhi are sex-related. Other prominent reasons for murders are sudden provocation and crime-related."
According to Gupta, family disputes were found to be behind only nine percent of murders. Enmity and disputes were the other chief motives during 2011.
"A worrying fact is that in 95 per cent cases, the perpetrators were found to have no previous criminal records," he added.
"That sex-related murders were such a big chunk of all such incidents in the capital, is just another pointer at the imminent need for sexual education and awareness in society," added Gupta.

6th graders made porn video at Mexican school

Mexico City: Authorities in Mexico's Gulf coast state of Campeche have said that they are investigating how a porn video was made by sixth-graders inside their school. State Education Department spokesman Omar Kantun said the video was apparently made in an empty classroom during recess in late April.
"It is real, the case is real, the video exists," Kantun said. "The Education Department is very concerned." He said an investigation is being conducted by his department and the teachers union to determine whether any adults were involved.
Kantun said the teacher who uses the classroom did not appear to have been present when the video was made. He said no disciplinary action has been taken against any students or teachers yet. He said the students involved are being given psychological counselling.

The incident occurred in late April at a grade school in the town of Calkini, which is in a relatively conservative and heavily Indian area. Three boys are seen in the video engaging in oral and anal sex recorded on a cellphone by a fourth person, apparently another student.
The mother of one of the boys saw the video on the Internet and notified authorities, Kantun said. He said the video had since been taken down.
Authorities didn't announce the students' ages, but sixth-graders in Mexico are generally 12 or younger.

Girls sexually abused, paraded naked, forced to work at kids’ shelter The girls recounted tales of horror during the raid on May 8, 2012 at the shelter run by NGO Bharat Vikas Sangh, which won a Haryana state award for women’s empowerment in March 2012.

ROHTAK: Children living at a shelter run by an NGO here were sexually abused, beaten, molested and made to work as labourers on farms and construction sites, a raid by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has uncovered.

The girls recounted tales of horror during the raid on Wednesday night at the shelter run by NGO Bharat Vikas Sangh, which won a Haryana state award for women's empowerment in March this year.

Around 12 girls in their teens, alleged they were exploited by the owner, Jaswanti, to earn money; one of them said she was forced to sleep with a man. "We were molested by various people. If any girl protested, she would be paraded naked and beaten. Jaswanti forced us to work as labourers and snatched our wages," they said.

Jaswanti Devi, who has been running the Rohtak children shelter, and her son-in-law, Jai Bhagwan, have been arrested for exploiting children. Jai Bhagwan has been booked for sexual harassment and molestation of the inmates.

"Inmates were locked up for 3-4 days without food or any other facility if they protested. She (Jaswanti) forced us to earn money for her," said one.

The raid came on a tip from three girls who had escaped to Delhi and told their families of their sufferings at the shelter. The girls had, in fact, been shifted to the Rohtak home from an "orphanage" in Gurgaon following allegations of sexual abuse there.

Tired of being raped, 20-year-old killed uncle at Gorai beach

After being violated by 35-yr-old man and his friends, the woman lured him to the spot, where her boyfriend and friend stabbed him, smashed his head with a rock

MiD DAY had reported yesterday that the 35-year-old man, whose dead body had been recovered on Sunday morning at the Gorai beach, had been called to the spot by an unidentified woman (‘Murder victim was called to beach by mystery woman’, May 8).

Beach murder: The accused Mohsin Shaikh and his friend Deepak Bhosle (in veil) stabbed Ramesh Dedhia (35) and smashed his head with a stone
The Crime Branch has promptly traced the woman, who was none other than the man’s own niece-in-law, and had been repeatedly raped and pimped out by him. The 20-year-old woman allegedly conspired with her boyfriend and another friend to kill him, as she wanted to put an end to the repeated rape he had been subjecting her to, over the past year.
The trio was arrested yesterday on charges of the murder of share broker and alleged pimp Ramesh Dedhia (35). After the arrests, Crime Branch officers revealed that the woman had been raped repeatedly by her uncle, who had also sold her services to many of his friends. The woman, who was Dedhia’s sister-in-law daughter, had only shared the information with her boyfriend, but kept it a secret from her aunt or her mother, who works in a bar as a dancer, and stays apart from her.
Accompanied by her boyfriend, 25-year-old Mohsin Shaikh, the woman left Malwani on Saturday evening for Manori beach. Mohsin’s friend Deepak Bhosle was also present. The woman then made a phone call to Dedhia, luring him to Manori beach with the promise of a good time. Eager, Dedhia called his wife up and told her that he wouldn’t be coming home that night. Raghunath Delvi, senior police inspector of Crime Branch unit XI, said that Dedhia was upset when he saw that Mohsin and Bhosle accompanied his niece, and kicked up a fuss.
“Mohsin who was ready with a knife, stabbed Dedhia to death, while Bhosle held him down,” said a police officer from the Crime Branch. To make sure that he did not survive the attack, the two young men smashed Dedhia’s head with a rock and fled the spot. They made one deadly mistake, however, by not bothering to take his mobile phone with them.
For cops who later recovered the phone from near the body, the task was as simple as tracing the number from which Dedhia had received his last phone call before being killed. One of Dedhia’s friends had earlier revealed in his statement that it was that phone call which spurred Dedhia to abandon a game of cards and take a trip to the beach. “With the help of Dedhia’s mobile phone, we traced the number from which the last phone call had been made, and were led to his niece. Our informers tipped us off that that Mohsin and Bhosle would be found at a location in Malwani, and we arrested the two from there,”added the officer. The police have booked all the three for murder and will be handing them over to the Gorai police station.
