Bantwal, Sept 20: The Bantwal Town police have arrested three persons, including a 65-year-old man, on the charge of sexually assaulting a minor girl. They have been booked under Indian Penal Code as well as Pocso Act.

The police have registered cases under sections 376 and 506 of the IPC and sections 3, 8 and 12 of the Pocso Act.

Condemning the incident, the Women India Movement (WIM) has urged police to act tough against the accused. “While accused in rape cases get bail, the possibilities of recurrence of such cases increase. Hence, the police should consider cases of sexual assaults very seriously,” said Nasriya Bellary, president, WIM

Earlier, a delegation of the Social Democratic Party of India submitted a memorandum to city police commissioner T R Suresh, demanding arrest of the accused

Bantwal committee president of SDPI Monish Ali said that justice should be served to the 8-year-old girl and suitable compensation should be provided to her. “Even when women are coming forward in all fields, the number of sexual assault cases against them is increasing by the day,” he said.

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
