Bangalore, June 26: A five-year-old girl who had gone to a mango grove with her friends to play and pick the fruit was allegedly raped by two teenagers in Byappanadoddi village near Yadavanahalli, off Hosur Road, Anekal taluk of Bangalore Rural district on Monday afternoon.

The culprits identified as Madhura alias Operation Madhu, 19, and his friend Viji, 18, have been picked up and are being questioned by Attibele police.

Venugopal alias Belurappa said that when he returned home from work his wife, Shivamma, told him that their daughter, Ranjini (name changed), had injuries on her body. Ranjini had gone to the mango grove near her house to play with other children around 1pm. They found the two teenagers drinking beer. The duo dragged Ranjini into a nearby bush, children who witnessed the barbaric incident, told the child's parents. The children fled from the grove in fear and alerted elders in the village. By the time help came, the teenagers had allegedly raped the girl, police said. The villagers kept the culprits in their custody till the police came.

Ranjini is the second daughter of Belurappa and Shivamma, both daily wage labourers. Her elder sister is eight years old. Police said the child was first taken to the Anekal government hospital where doctors referred the child to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Jayanagar. Sanjay Gandhi Hospital doctors confirmed rape.

The child, who is under acute trauma, is undergoing treatment in Vani Vilas Hospital. Police told TOI that Madhura was a drunkard. "He was regularly involved in fights with others. He gained notoriety as Operation Madhu as he had undergone several surgeries on his stomach because of stab injuries he had suffered in fights with others," police said. The duo will be produced before an Anekal court on Tuesday.

CHILD ABUSERS ON THE PROWL Girl children aren't safe in Bangalore. More so on the city's outskirts where vast swathes of unpopulated territory have become havens for anti-social elements. That people from economically weaker sections reside in these areas and in most cases both parents go to work, leave little girls vulnerable to sexual assaults.

On June 17 night, a seven-year-old girl was raped and murdered allegedly by a 28-yearold man at Nellurahalli, near Whitefield, late on Saturday. The accused had gone to their house once with the victim's father. When the entire village was busy with a local deity's temple inauguration, he took the child on the pretext of buying her a biscuit, raped her and threw the unconscious child into a lake. Children from economically weaker sections have no protection against sexual abuse, said Vasudeva Sharma, member, Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

May 12: A Madhya Pradesh Police sub-inspector was fined Rs 5,000 after he performed a daredevil act of balancing himself on two moving cars, copying the famous stunt from Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Singham'.

Manoj Yadav, the in-charge of Narsinghgarh police post in Damoh district, was also warned against any such daredevilry in future, police sources said on Monday.

Sporting shades as the hero of the cop drama film and wearing his police uniform, Yadav got the entire episode video-graphed, they said.

As the video of the stunt went viral on social media, senior police officials took serious note of it as it will send wrong signals to youngsters, the sources said.

After an investigation, Chauhan imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on the sub-inspector and warned him not to repeat such mistakes.

New Delhi, Feb 10: A 44-year-old man allegedly killed his daughter and son before ending his life by jumping in front of a Delhi metro train at Haiderpur Badli Mor station on Sunday, police said.

No suicide note has been recovered, but police claimed that the man, Madhur Malani, was depressed since his sandpaper-manufacturing factory was closed some six months ago due to financial crunch leaving him jobless. Madhur's parents had been supporting his family financially since then.

He used to stay with his wife Rupali, daughter Samiksha (14) and six-year-old son Shraiyans at a rented house in northwest Delhi's Shalimar Bagh area, they said.

Rupali was not at home when Madhur strangled their children. He might have also smothered their daughter but the exact cause of death would be ascertained only after the post-mortem reports arrive, a police official said.

After killing his two children, he jumped in front of an approaching train at Haiderpur Badli Mor Metro station following which he was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him 'brought dead', the official said.

Metro services on the Yellow Line were briefly delayed due to the incident.

"Delay in services from Samaypur Badli to GTB Nagar due to a passenger on track at Haiderpur Badli Mor," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) tweeted.

After about 15 minutes, it again tweeted that normal services have been restored. The Delhi Metro's Yellow Line connects Samaypur Badli in Delhi to HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon.

The suicide was reported to the police around 5.40 pm while the Shalimar Bagh Police station received a call about the killings around 6.50 pm.

On reaching the house, police found bodies of the children lying in beds in two rooms. During enquiry, it was learnt that their father has left the house, a senior police officer said.

While police were trying to trace Madhur, they learnt about a suicide at the metro station. On verifying the details, it surfaced that Madhur committed suicide after killing his children, the officer said.

Rupali told police that she had gone to a nearby market around 3 pm and on returning home she found the bodies of her children while her husband was missing.

A case under relevant sections of the IPC has been registered and investigation was underway, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Vijayanta Arya said.
