Muzaffarnagar, Jul 22: Police have arrested three persons of a Hindu family for killing their 14-year-old Muslim neighbour and burying him in the backyard of their house after a 15-year-old female member of their family fell in love with him, here in Uttar Pradesh.

lover1In fact the Hindu and Muslim families had been living as neighbours for two decades, sharing a single wall that separated their houses. When the Muzaffarnagar riots broke out, the violence left their bond untouched.

On Thursday, in what sent shock waves through Muzaffarnagar, the police dug out the body of Irshad, the school-going teenager, from the compound of the Sainis. According to police the family members of the girl kidnapped the boy, killed and buried him quietly. Two brothers of the girl and an uncle have been arrested in connection with the case.

Shakeel Ahmad had filed a missing person report at Jansath police station on Tuesday after his son didn't return home even by late evening. The boy had never done that before. But it took investigators little time to piece the sordid puzzle together. Somebody had seen Irshad and the girl walking together a few days back. After that it didn't take cops long to follow clues that led to the Sainis' backyard.

"We felt something was fishy when the boy's call detail report (CDR) revealed that he had been in constant touch with one specific person. Interestingly, both sim cards were registered in Irshad's name, which means the youth had given that number to the girl. Further investigations revealed that it was a girl in the neighbourhood with whom he was communicating," said SSP Deepak Kumar.

"Questioning of the brothers of the girl confirmed that the boy was strangulated soon after he was abducted on Monday night. His body was hidden in a shallow pit in a plot that belonged to the uncle of the girl. We recovered the body and have arrested Pawan and Mohan Saini, the brothers, along with the uncle."

Ahmad, still to recover from the loss of his son, said, "These people shared the wall of our house. They were our neighbours. They could have brought the matter to us and we would have reprimanded our son. He didn't deserve this fate. He was just a little boy."

Not taking any chances as the incident happened in Kawal, the village many regard as the epicenter of the Muzaffarnagar riots of 2103 that left 63 dead and more than 50,000 homeless, the district administration rushed a contingent of PAC and police force from five stations to the area that's classified as hyper-sensitive.

As news of the murder spread on Thursday morning, tension began building up, forcing IG (Meerut zone) Sujeet Pandey to promptly order deployment of additional force in Kawal. The situation, though simmering with tension, is under control. "It was a race against time," SSP Kumar said. "We couldn't have waited for long as things could have gone out of control, what with the reputation of Kawal."

Jamshed Ahmad, pradhan of Kawal, said, "We still haven't got over what happened here three years ago. This was uncalled for. We have to do everything in our power not to let things go wrong again."

Kathmandu, Feb 12: Nepal has suspended the licence of a mountainous resort for three months due to poor security management and managerial weakness at the hotel where eight Indian tourists, including four minors, died of possible asphyxiation, according to media reports.

Kathmandu: Nepal has suspended the licence of a mountainous resort for three months due to poor security management and managerial weakness at the hotel where eight Indian tourists, including four minors, died of possible asphyxiation, according to media reports.

Tragedy struck a group of 15 tourists from Kerala when eight of them died on January 21 due to possible asphyxiation after they fell unconscious probably due to a gas leak from a heater in their room at a mountainous resort in Makwanpur district.

The tourists were airlifted to HAMS hospital here where they were pronounced dead on arrival. Makwanpur police said the victims might have fallen unconscious due to asphyxiation.

The Department of Tourism on Sunday imposed a ban on the operation of Daman-based Everest Panorama Resort for three months based on the report submitted by a probe committee formed to investigate the death of the Indian tourists from Kerala, the Kathmandu Post reported on Tuesday.

The department decided to shut down the resort as the report submitted by a probe committee pointed out poor security management and managerial weakness at the resort for the incident, it said.

The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation had formed the probe committee under Surendra Thapa, the director of the Department of Tourism. After a field inspection, the committee had submitted its report a few days ago, pointing to the shortcomings of the resort.

During the investigation, the committee found the resort had not been following the recommended safety measures and was providing substandard services to its guests, The Himalayan Times reported.

Moreover, the committee discovered that the resort had not fulfilled the criteria set by DoT to be categorised a 'resort', it said.

Mira Acharya, director of DoT was quoted as saying by the report that the resort's operations have been halted as per Section 15 of Tourism Act-1979.

"If the resort owner wishes to resume services after three months of suspension, the resort should be upgraded as per the Hotel, Lodge, Restaurant, Bar and Tourist Guide Rules-1981 and also meet the criteria mentioned in a notice published in the Nepal Gazette under the title 'Hotel Classification and Criteria'," Acharya said.

She added that the resort would also have to undergo the Environment Impact Assessment to get the permission from DoT to resume operation.

Meanwhile, the resort management has said that they will work towards meeting the standards fixed by the department and run the resort efficiently.

"We will work towards meeting the standards fixed by the department and run the resort efficiently. We are saddened by the tragic incident. We will ensure that such incidents don't occur in the future,” said Sudesh Gautam, the operator of the resort was quoted as saying by the Kathmandu Post.

The group, after travelling to Pokhara -- a popular mountainous tourist destination -- was on their way back home and stayed at Everest Panorama Resort in Daman.

Those who were killed were Praveen Krishnan Nair, his wife Saranya Sasi and their three children and Ranjith Kumar Adatholath Punathil, his wife Indu Lakshmi Peethambaran Ragalatha and their son.

Everest Panorama Resort was established 28 years ago in Daman Simbhajyang area, a tourist destination in Bagmati Province. The tourist numbers, according to Thaha Hotel Association, have plunged after the tragic accident of January 27.
